governor, and one of Georgas best and ablest
citizens will be in Fitzgerald next Saturday.
We expect to be here if possible, although we
60 back to Atlanta tomorrow on matters that
may detain us. In either event we bespeak for
Mr.. Howell the kindliest treatment by every
good man here.
We do not beevd that there is any Hohe
Smith man in the community who is low enough
to show him the slightest discourtesy or mis-
represent him and his reception here. Recent
experiences possibly have taught good lesson
on this line. We trust that it will not be neces-
sary to apply our Lancaster to any liar or black
guard as seems to have been necessary on the
occas ion of Mr.. Smiths visit.
The County Executive Committee has set
the special election for Aug. ~ to elect candl-
dates for Treasurer and Sheriff.
Meanwhile, amid all the turbulent and cam
tankerous rumpus, Hoke Smith goes serenely
on, every day making new friends and clnchlng
old friendships.
Bro Mercer tells us that Hoke was inter-
rupted Just one hundred and six times IN the
first hour of his speech at Albany. The last
half hour was one thirty minutes for applause
We would like to ask Bro. Sweat if this is one
Of the indications that leads him to believe that
Hoke is losing ground daily?-Telfair Enter

recent law suit in Jacksonville, Florida,
revealed the fact that ice is being manufactured
for less than $3.50 per ton, but housekeepers
generally pay from $13 to $18 per ton for their
ice supplies. At the same time ice is shipped
to town 20 miles distant and sold there at
wholesale for So per ton. This revelation OF
cold facts about their ice business has very
naturally made the Jacksonville people hot and
they are demanding some sort of practical re-
lief.
The average man needs continuous employ
ment to keep him in profitable frame of mind.
The occasional frolic, ifitlasts only short time,
is good to relax a man and keep his mind and
body invgorated, but frequent or long cesssa-
ton from the steady push will demoral1ze the
most of US. Keep busy and acquire self-con-
troll was the advice of one of Americas most
intellectual men.
Every great man has been great worker.
There is less difference in men intellectually
than in character. A big idle brain will be out
distanced in the race by the medlocre-mlnded,
steady puller-Ex.
Some discouraged fruit man said the other
day that there would be many peach tree cut
down in this section after this years experience
with the crop. It would be a pity if so import
ant an industry as peach growing seems to be in
this section should suffer neglect because OF
some failures which it is hoped are temporary.
True it is enough to put spell of the blues on
the man who has done his utmost and by the aid
of nature has realized good crop of fruit on his
trees to be met with conditions that make it I'M
possible for him to market his crop and get his
money. But setbacks come IN all lines and the
man who perseveres and waits is the one who
gets there in the end. There is yet future for
peaches in Georgia and the intelligence of the
men who grow them will find the path to sue

Let all the knockers and hammer toterS lay
aside their hammers, when the boys who have
been working for the Ben Hill county in Atlanta
return home. Have your right paw ever ready
to grab them and shake their nit, and pat them
on the shoulder and say: "O1d man, you have
certainly been faithful to the cause and we are
with you" Whether we get the county or not
these few who have interested themselves IN the
cause and have gone to Atlanta at their own ex-
pense certainly have fought bravely and every
citizen of Fitzgerald should take off their hat to
them every time they pass.
