Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1906-04-10
NEW COUNTY FOR. FITZGERALD.

Well that's what good MAORI
ty of the white voters of Irwin
County want. And if the citi-
zens of Fitzgerald had worked to-
gether in perfect unison during
the last Session of Our General
Assembly we would today have
been citizens of Northern County
instead of Irwin.
My good friend and erstwhile
neighbor Edward Winslow told
me that it was talked on the
streets of Fitzgerald that I at
the crucial moment turned trail
tor to Northern County and
therefore Fitzgerald failed to
win out. Friend Winslow per-
sistantly refused to tell me who
made such a statement. could
not go to him, her, or them in
person, therefore I take this OPP
portunity to say that any person
or persons who say. 1ntimates
or by inuends insinuates that l
sold out, turnedt raitor or in any
way failed to keep faith in our
efforts to get a New County,
that person or persons making
such a statement is an unqualifi-
ed, unmitigated, uncalled for
liar. At the very heel of the last
Session of the General Assembly
and after Northern County had
been adversely reported. I in
troduced the same Bill as an
amendment to our constitution
providing for one more County

direct understanding that
would do everything in my power
to close the saloons of Irwin
County through the Legislator.
During the last Session of the
General Assent bly, my High Lis

favorably reported by the main
Senate Com mittee to which it
was referred. The Saloon men
appealed to a special Commit

| of prohibition decided that it
would be time saved to table that
Bill, wait until next June and
come back before the Laglsla-
ture with a Similar Bill properly
advertised. This I expect to do
and we confidently believe that
Irwin County's Extreme high
Liscens Bill will become a law
within ten days from the opening
of the next Session of the Gen
eral Assembly.
AT the same time as a compan-
ion Bill we expect to repeal

DR.. E. J. Dorminey is our

miney about this High Liscense
Bill, Immediately after he an
nounced for the Legislature and
I saidin substance the following:
II hope to pass my High
Liscense Bill, during the first
ten days of the next session OF
the legislature. Then expect
to put through immed-
lately thereafter, the New
County Bill, and if 1 do both and
you are elected to succeed me,
can we depend upon you to push
the High License Bill into the
new county,"
DIR. Dorminey said to me 1

matter" Well we are now IN
fifteen days of the primary, and
DR.. Dorminey has never been
back to see me about that very
important matter, and at this
stage of the game I know things
that cause me to believe that DR..
E. J. Dorminey could not be de-
pended upon to keep the new
county dry.
You see under the Joe Hall
Blanket Bill for new counties, II
the high liscense bill is passed
ahead of the new county bill, and
we cut the new county from two
dry counties, then the New
county will remain dry unless
voted back wet. Therefore we

Deafness if caused by an inhamed condi-

come there to live with him. he
replied that he would go so far
away she would never see him if
she attempted to follow.
'.Then came the news of my
uncle's death, said Mrs. Webb in
telling the story. Richard Webb
was a changed man. He came to
Los Angeles and rushed into my
house with arms wide open to
clasp ME. I wanted nothing to do
with him. He sent out for whisky
and made me drink some of it.
Under the influence of it I made
UP with him. We moved to Oak
land. Fannie has been good to
me, but Richard has been most
cruel.
Extreme cruelty is the charge
Mrs. Webb brings against her hus-
band. Recently, she says, he
knocked her down with his fist, a
statement which her daughter cor
roborates. It is her money alone,
she VOWS. that brought her hus-
band back to her, and the refuses
to recognize his claim to part of
the fortune to which she has fallen

FORTUNE STARTED TROUBLE
When Poor She Was Lonesome, Even Her
Husband and Son Deserving Her.

Los Angeles. Cal.-Mrs. Richard
K. Webb, who was working as
laundress here few months age,
when she received bequest Of
$50, 900. could write all excellent
philosophy O. riches from her brief
experience.
When she was poor Mrs. Webb
was Lonesome. Now that she has
money the attention of some of her
friends Is embarrassing. Money,
she thought, could restore the love
OF a wandering husband, for he
returned to her with open arms.
Now, however, she IS attempting
to have him prevented from seeing
her, and has just succeeded III hav-
ing a restraining order issued by
the San Francisco courts.
Money, Mrs. Webb imagined,
would relieve her OF troubles. It
brought with It trouble untold.
She is having her valuable papers
stored in safe place, in the fear,
she says, that her husband will get
them. She wanted to be generous
with her newly acquired fortune,
but she found that she was being
taken advantage OF. Sometimes
Mrs. Webb wonders if she is much
happier than she was as laundry
worker.
Mrs. Webb has son and a
daughter, tue daughter clinging to
her, and the son, she says, fol-
lowing in the footsteps Of his
father. The story of the Webbs
has been a remarkable one.
While it is Webb who IS suing
for divorce and alimony, Mrs.
Webb has taken such steps as she
could to secure couuteraction, and
has succeeded in having an order
passed restraining him from seeing
her. During their trouble Webb
had refused to give up his home
with his wife until the court order
prevented him from returning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Webb were mar
ried at Ottumwa, Ia, in 1884. For
time they lived happily, were
fairly prosperous and their outlook
on life was cheerful. twas when
they came to Los Angeles and
bought a small place here that
Mrs. Webb says her husband 5
affections first began to wane. He
sold. the place, according to her
story, went to San Francisco and
there spent the money.
Mrs. Webb, who had not been
used to hard work, was obliged to

herself and her daughter. The
son, she says, deserted as his
father had done

cannot be bought with money nor
measured by material things. Oh that
parents could realize that money spenc
for fruits, flowers, and music, is money
as we'll spent as money spent for bread
and meat, or even education. In fact,
it is most potent part of good edit
cation.
1t does not take a very close obser
yer to ride along the streets of city
or the roads in the country and point
out the houses where the refined boys
and girls spring from. It is possible
for a close observer to tell che environ
ment of the home by even the looks
and conversation of the young people.
In future article, I will point out
some of the varieties of fruits and
flowers that will always succeed with
proper care in Florida.

in sixteen years. It is magnificent
specimen, strongly developed along in
dividual lines The pouch, or slipper,
is of an elusive shade of translucent
purple-as delicate and evasive as the
shifting colors of mother-of-pearl.
The veins are fine as filaments of Cos
samer. The dorsal sepal, or top leaf is
delicate yellowish-green with purple
markings. The side petals differ in
conformation from the upper and
lower petals in that they are long,
slender and tapering, and fringed with
a hair-like substance approximating the
color of dark corn silk 1t is almost
impossible to describe the color
scheme of this variety of Orchid, for
the tones are so transparent that they
change with the shifting of the light
Painters have tried to reproduce it's
cOlors on canvas, but without success
They cannot achieve the purple trans
parency Of the pouch, or it's almost
impalpable markings, and even the
stronger and more pronounced colors
and markings of the petals are beyond
The most skillfrl brush. One might as
we'll attempt to reproduce the iris of
bird or the iridescent tints OF shell.
The plant in the Kimball conserva-
tory is the only representative of the
Cypripedium Kimballanum in this
country, although there are two speci-
mems in European collections. 1t is
very rare specimen, and Orchid hunt
ers have penetrated into the widest
and most inaccessible countries in
quest of similar hybrid, but their
quest has been in vain. The Cypripe-
dunn Kimballianum has never been du-
plicated, and the mystery of it's origin
has never been solved.

A Remarkable Orchid.

The Farm Stock Journal prints an
account Of a remarkable plant which
has just lowered in that neighborhood:
One Of the rarest and most remark
able Orchids in the world is in the
Kimball collection in Rochester, N. Y.
Its scientific name is Cypripedium
k1mballlanum. 1t was discovered
about twenty years ago, by Foster
mann, the famous collector of Sanders
and Sons, of St. Adams, England. 1t
was discovered in the interior wilds of
New Guinea, and was named in honor
Of w. S. Kimball, by the late Profess
Sor Relchenbach, of Germany, one OF
the greatest botanists of modern times.
Ibis was the first Cypripedium ever
discovered that was a natural hybrid.
Out Of the thousands of known varie-
ties of Orchids, only two or three are
natural hybrlds, and the Cypripedium
Klmballianum was the first of this
number. The varieties from which this
superb and remarkable Orchid came
have never been discovered. How it
was produced is horticultural mys-
terry. Men who devote their lives to
the study of these wonderful plants
can only surmise that by some re-
markable atmospheric condition the
pollen Of one plant was driven to an
other, thus producing the hybrid The
Cypripedium Kimballianum, therefore,
is unique among Orchids-a curiosity
Of the conservatory.

A Valley Rose Farm.

An item in the Farm Stock Journal
shows how they grow Roses in Cali
fornia:
One of the most interesting sights in
the Pomona valley in California is the
development work now being done by
the California Rose company on its
own farm at the foot of White avenue.
Here may be seen literally acres of
roses, the slips being planted few
weeks ago, covering the entire twelve
acre tract, in rows about three feet
apart.
The plants are about six inches in
height, and here and there over the
tract many of them are in bloom. It
will be beautiful sight when the rose
bushes are grown to two or three feet
in height, all in blossom.
The work of irrigating and tending
the plants at this time of year re-
qulres about twenty-five men. From
December until April, during the ship
ping season, probably fifty people will
be kept busy. At this season the
young plants are being pushed as
rapidly as tender care, good soil, the
available amount of sunshine and con-
slant irrigation will accomplish it.

are suited to our climate, but in a late
number he mentions some which
ought to be grown in Florida. These
Cut-leaved Naples are very beautiful

to them being that they are deciduous
Yet, as we grow the Umbrella tree and
other deciduous species, it would be

AS to the Magnolias, no one ought
to need urging to plant them.
While the foliage of the Wier's Cut

year, there are few more desirable

should also be called weeping, for it
is as true one as many others sold
under that name. 1t is we'll fitted for
an avenue tree or for single specimen

it can be let grow at will, but even then

Florida has the name of "The Land
Of Fruits and Flowers" but a man
coming from outside the state and
travelling in almost any part of the
state, especially in the country districts,
would be sadly disappointed to find
most Of the homes almost destitute OF
both fruits and flowers. Now, why is
this? This article will be devoted to
partially answering this question.
First, | will say it is not because
both fruits and flowers cannot be pro-
duced in the greatest variety and
abundance in almost any location in
the state. Unreliable, ignorant and
INSCRIPTIONS ''free peddlers' have
done more perhaps to retard the plant
ing Of fruits and flowers than any one
cause. People have been swindled and
humbugged SO much that they have
become disguised and will hardly talk
to man about buying nursery stock
of any kind
Since | have been in the country I
have repeatedly warned the people,
personally and through the press,
about buying from unreliable travelling
agents, and yet there is from $4,000
to $4,000 thrown away annually in
this one county by buying from agents
who are either ignorant or unscrupu-
lous. | will give few rules which, if
followed, will save much of this loss.
First: Never buy stock grown in
nursery outside of the state Three
things are necessary to make good
fruit tree agent, viz: He must be
honest, he must represent reliable
nursery, and above all, he must know
what is adapted to the particular To-
cality where he is selling Most fail
ures are caused by buying the wrong
varieties. However, many failures &C.
cur after the best varieties are bought
by ignorance Or neglect in cultivation.
1t is a source Of regret and shame to
me to be compelled to say that one of
the most potent causes of the neglect
ed homes in Florida is a general want
of appreciation of the elevating, re6n-
ing and educating influences of fruits
and flowers in the home. | am sorry
to say our Northern friends are far
ahead of us in this respect To know
this, one has only to visit the beautiful
homes on the East Coast Every
one can't have fine house to live in,
but everyone can have home beauti-
fed and enriched by fruits and flowers.
We Southern people, as we'll as our
N Northern friends, are too much inclln-
