ture, and approached DR.. Dor
miney about this High License
bill, Immediately after he an.
nounced for the legislature and
I said in substance the following;
II hope to pass my High
J Liscense bill, during the first
ten days of the next session OF
the legislature. Then I expect
to put through immed-
lately thereafter, the New
County bill, and if 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 II
will see you later about that
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, if
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
Prohibitionists are losing what
we have gained if we fail to send
a man to succeed me in the legis-
1ature who is committed and sent
there to carry the high license
law into our new county.
A very small com binatioh of
men-not over ak in number
have laid plan to bring whiskey
into the new county at Fitzgerald.
A very small number of men got
together and said we will send
Mr.. -- to the house and Mr..
to the senate. am salts
find that one or the two of that
mum Der we're deceived and at
this time find themselves doing
things contrary to their better
Judgment. It's bad day, my
couutrymen, when six men can
get together, IN secret, and
then and there elect,th3 men who
shall represent two thousand
free born American white voters.
But l want TO say to my tried,
true friends who, have SO nobly
stood by me 10 the past, that
this plot to bring liquor back to
Fitzgerald will fail.
For, while 1 am thoroughly in
sy mpathy with the new county
movement, / do not intend to
work for the establish ment of
the new county until am as
sured that said new county will
have the same protel ton from
the liquor curse that the mother
county is to have.

that Fitzgerald citizen remark

NEW COUNTY FOR FITZGERALD

county want. and if the clti-
zens of Fitzgerald had worked to-
gether in perfect unison during
the last session of our general
asse mbly we would today have
been citizens of Northen county,
instead of Irwin.
My good friend and erstwhile
neighbor, Edward Winslow, told
me that it was talked on the
streets of Fitzgerald that l. at
the crucial moment, turned trail
tor to Northen County and
therefore Fitzgerald failed to
win out. Friend Winslow per-
sistently refused to tell me who
made such statement. [ could
not 20 to him, her, or them in
person, therefore l take this OPP
portunity to say that any person
or persons who say, intimate,
or by inuendo insinuates that |
sold out, turned traitor or in any
way failed to keep faith in our
efforts to get New County,
the person or persons making
such a statement is an unquallf-
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, | IN
troduced the same bill as an
amendment to our constitution,
providing for one more county
and describing its metes and
bounds. That bill has been favor
ably reported by the Com mlttee
on Constitutional Amendments,
has been read second time and
I think will pass the House with
out speech being made against
it. With the Senate favor
able to the creation of more New
Counties and Fitzgerald and
surrounding community having
made greater material develop
ment during the last ten years
than any other section in Georgia,
I cannot see any reason why the
bill will not pass, provided its
friends get together and work in
harmony. But there are other
issues ahead of us besides New
County bills.
I was elected to the 1eglsla-
ture from Irwin county with the
direct understanding that L
would do thing in my power
TO close the saloons of Irwin
county, through the legislature.
During the last session of the
general assembly my High Lii
cense bill passed the House, was
favorably reported by the main
Senate com mittee, to which 1t
was referred. The saloon men
appealed to special com mittee
of three and that com mittee re-
ported the bill favorably. 1t
Was read a second time in the
Senate and the next day could
have been passed, but my atten-
ton was called to the fact that l
had not advertised the bill accord
ing to the very letter of the law,
and rather than risk having
trOu BILE III the courts, the ITlenus
of prohibition decided that it
would be time saved to table that
bill, wait until next June and
come back before the legisla-
ture with a similar bill properly
advert ised. This | expect to do
and we confidently believe that
Irwin county's extreme high
]iscense bill will become law
within ten DAYS from the opening
of the next session Of the gen
eral ssembly.

COPPER, TIN AND LEAD.
The Portion OF Copper Is Consolidating
-SIrCnk Markets for Al Base Metals.

The international markets are strong for
all base metals. The position Of COPPER is
consolidating because OF the patent fact that
c~onsumntion issfast gaining upon production
and for the reason that the reserve stocks.
which are always brought forth in times OF

by the largest consumer OF COPPER in this
country that domestic consumption is now
at the rate Of $1,000 tens per month. This
authority upon opper considers that the
time Is not far away when domestic pro-
ducers will have little copper for eKport. At
home and abroad the past weeks demands
for high conductivity and casting copper

Poor Honey Crop in TexaA

The honey crop in Uvalde county Is
almost a complete failure this spring,
and some apiarists who have hitherto

The long siege of rainy weather just
when the catclaw and guajilla were in
bloom caused the failure. However,
