The Phoenix Club.

This organization of Fitz'
gerald's young business men is
little over year old, and on it's
list of members are the names of
most of the leading young BUSH
ness men, who are unmarried.
It is not bachelors club, for the
reason that the members are not
old enough to be classed as bach
lors.
It is purely a social club, and
at first there was some misglvlngs
as to what its influence would be
doubt as to the influence it
would exert over the young men
in the club. 1t would have been
so easy to have made it a card
room for social CD games, or a
tipling room Cor disguised blind
tiger that the friends of the boys
were slow to make up their mind
as to whether the clubs influence
would be for good or evil. 1t is
we'll established principle that
it must do one or the other.
The preponderance of good in
the hearts and natures of the
Young men has exerted itself in
no uncertain way and the club
stands today a splendid substi-
tute for Young Mems christian
Association.
Each member seems to take a
pride in the decency and good
order of the club rooms, and its
sanitary influence over its mem
bership is undoubted.
The books on the shelves and
the pictures that decorate the
walls as we'll as the open atmos'
phere of the inviting club rooms
all indicate that it's influence is
for good and appeals to the best
in the nature Of each member.
May the Phoenix Club flourish
and continue to exert a whole
some influence over Fitzgerald's
most worthy young men.

filed with secretary of state by
Judge Joel L. Sweat, of Bruns-
wick, general counsel for the At
1autic and Birmingham. and it is
generally believed that this pro.
posed new line is designed to
give the Atlantic and Birming-
ham an entrance into Savannah.
When the system complies it's
present projected lines, which
are now under construction, it
will have through line from Sa-
vannah, Ca, to Birmingham, Ala,
besides a number of branch lines
in South Georgia.
The capital stock of the new
railroad company is ST., $4,000
and the incorporates named in
the petition are J. A. J. Hender-
son, Reason Henderson, William

National Farmers
Congress Objects
Opposed Government Rate
Making at National Con-
vention In Richmond.

Richmond, September 16.--The
growing opposition among ship.
pers and producers everywhere
to the fixing of railway rates by
government authority, as pro-
posed by the Esch- Townsend bill
and similar measures, is indicat-
ed by the action of the Farmers
National Congress yesterday at
it's annual convention here. The
Congress is made up of repre-
sentative farmers from every
state in the country, the repre-
sentation from the South and
Middle West being especially
large.
Last year the Congress was in
favor of giving the Interstate
Commerce Com mission the pow
er to fix railroad rates and reso-
1utions to this effect we're intro
'duced this year and we're sup
ported in able speeches by Con-
gresham Adams, of Wisconsin,
and others. But the member OF
the Congress we're convinced
that Government regulation of
rates, with the consequent fixing
of these rates on distance basis,
would mean that they would be
compelled to pay more for ship
ping their products to markets,
or that the middlemen would have
to pay more, in which case it
would come out of the farmers
pockets.
While declaring ngly'
against rebates and unjust dis
examinations, and in favor of the
enforcement of the existing law
on these objects, the farmers re-
fused to endorse the proposition
to give to any Government body
the power to name the actual rate
which railroad shall charge for
the transportation of freight.
The resolutions adopted are as
follows:
WHEREAS: We favor the active
enforcement by the general Gov
eminent of all existing laws in
order to prevent the giving or &C
ceptance of rebates or special ia
vors Through whatever DEVICE
to or by favored shippers, and,
WHEREAS: We expect that the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion will aggressively nd
promptly apply all remedies at
their disposal; now, therefore,
RESOLVED: That if the exist
| ing laws for the detection and
punishment of the giving or ac-
ceptance Of such rebates or
special favors are insufficient or
defective in any respect, we favor
the enactment of such further
Legislation as may be necessary
adequately to deal with the evil
and to prevent such practices in
the future.

sensation occasioned by it is said to have in
I stood at eve, when the sun went down,
By grave where woman lies
Who lured mems souls to the shores of sin
With the light of her wanton eyes;
Who. sang the song that the siren sang
On the treacherous Lurley height;
Whose face was as fair as summers day,
And whose heart was as black as night.
Yet blossom fain would pluck today
From the garden above her dust
Not the languorous lily of soulless sin,
Nor the blood-red rose of lust
But sweet, white blossom, of holy love
That grew in that one green spot
In the arid desert of Phyrnes life,
Where all else was parched and hot.
In the summer, when the meadows
Were ag1ow with blue and red,
Joe, the 'ostler of the Magpie,"
And fair Annie Smith were wed.
Plump was Annie, plump and pretty,
With a face as fair as snow.
He was anything but handsome,
Was the Magpie's 'ostler, Joe.
But he won the winsome lassie;
They'd cottage and COW
And her matronhood sat lightly
On the village beauty's brow.
Sped the months and came baby
Such blue-eyed baby boy!
Joe was working in the stables
When they told him of his joy.
He was rubbing down the horses
And he gave them, then and there,
All special feed of clover,
Just in honor of the heir.
It had been his great ambition
(And he told the horses so)
That the fates would send baby
Who might bear the name OF Joe.
Little Joe the child was christened,
And like babies grew apace.
He'd his mothers eyes of azure
And his fathers honest face.
Swift the happy years went over,
Years of blue and cloudless sky;
Love was lord of that small cottage,
And the empest passed them by.
Down the lane, by Annie's cottage,
Glanced gentleman to roam;
He caught glimpse of Annie
In her bright and happy home.
Thrice he came and saw her sitting
Bv the window with her child;
And he nodded to the baby,
And the baby laughed and smiled.
So at last it grew to know him
(Little Joe was nearly four);
He would call the pretty gemplum"
AS he passed the open door;
And one day he ran and caught him,
And in child's play pulled him in,
And the baby Joe had prayed for
Brought about the mothers sin.
Twas the same old wretched story
That for ages bards have sung;
Twas woman weak and wanton,
And villains tempting tongue;
Twas picture deftly painted
For silly creatures eyes,
Of the Babylonian wonders
And the joy that in them lies.
Annie listened and was tempted
Was tempted and she fell
AS the angels fell from heaven
To the blacklist depths of hell.
She was promised wealth and sp1endor
And life of genteel sloth,
Yellow gold for child and husband
And the woman left them both.
Home one eve came Joe, the ostler,
With CHEEKY cry of "Wife!"
Finding that which blurred forever
All the story of his life.
She had left silly letter;
Through the cruel scraw1 he spelt.
Then he sought the cruel bedroom,
Joined his horny hands and knelt.

'Now, O Lord, o God, forgive her,
For she amt to blame" he cried;
For ought to seen her trouble
And a-gone away and died.
Why, girl like her-God bless her
'Twasn't likely as herd rest
Her bonny head forever
On 'ostler's ragged vest.
1T was kind O. her to bear with me
All the long and happy time;
So for my sake please to bless her,
Though You count her deed crime.
If so be don't pray proper,
Lord, forgive me, for, You see,
can talk all right to losses,
But I'm kinder strange with Thee"
Meier line came to the cottage
From the woman who had flown.
Joe, the baby, died that winter,
And the man was left alone.
Meier bitter word he uttered,
But in silence kissed the rod,
Saving what he told his horses,
Saving what he told his God.
Far away in mighty London
Rose the wanton into fame,
For her beauty won mems homage,
And she prospered in her shame.
Quick from lord to lord she fitted,
Higher still each prize she won;
And her rivals paled beside her
AS the stars beside the sun.
Next she trod the stage half naked,
And she dragged temple down
To the level of market
For the women of the town.
And the kisses she had given
To poor 'Ostler Joe for naught,
With their gold and priceless jewels
Rich and titled roues bought.
Went the years with flying footsteps
While her star was at its height;
Then the darkness came on swiftly,
And the cleaning turned to night.
Shattered strength and faded beauty
Tore the laure1s from her brow;
Of the thousands who had worshipped
Never one came near her now.
Broken down in health and fortune.
Men forgot her very name,
Till the news that she was dying
Woke the echoes of her fame.
And the papers in their gossip
Mentioned how an actress lay
Sick to death in humble lodgings,
Growing weaker every day.
One there was who read the story
In far-off country place,
And that night the dying woman
Woke and looked upon his face.
Once again the strong arms clasped her
That had claspedAher long ago;
And the weary head lay pillowed
On the breast of 'Ostler Joe.
All the past he had forgiven
III the SORROWS and the shame:
He had found her sick and lonely,
And his wife he now would claim.
Since the grand folks who had known her
One and all had skunk away,
He could clasp his long lost darling
And no man could say him nay.
In his arms death found her lying,
From his arms her spirit fled;
And his tears came down in torrents
AS he kne1t beside his dead.
Never once his love had faltered
Through her sad, unhallowed life,
And the stone above her ashes
Bears the sacred name of wife.
That's the blossom fain would pluck today
From the garden above her dust;
Not the languorous lily of soulless sin
Nor the blood-red rose OF lust,
But sweet white blossom of holy love
That grew in the one green spot
In the arid desert of Phyrne's life
Where all else was parched and hot.
