Referring to a communication in a
recent issue Of The National Tribune
describing the 1920 N. Y, Comrade j.
ID. Adams, 1909 Douglas street, st. Jo-

addition as well as subtraction" He

before your city hall, instead of
having to drive ten miles to the
county site.
I also. secured for you your
long looked for City Court bill,
which not only saves the time
and money of our citizens, but
has greatly reduced vagrancy
and crime in our midst.
Now Fitzgerald is overly anx-
ious for a new county. AS your
representative, I have the bill
under good Roadway. 1t is fa-
vorably reported, has been read
second time and is ready for
passage in the House. With
my cousin as senator from this
district, and with the aid of those
who favor this bill, it certainly
ought to pass.
Now it does strike me that if
the Fitzgerald voters at all ape
preciate what I have done and
am still doing for them, they
would rally to my standard and
vote for me to man, with the
exception of the liquor people,
thugs, gamblers and such other
characters.
I am told that my opponent,
DR.. Dorminy, refused last year
to sign your petition for the New
! County, aud you have probably
noticed that he has never yet
said through the papers that he
is now IN favor of our getting a
new county.

which will stop cotton mill men
from working seven, eight and
nine-year-o1d children in their

18th. Cigarette Law, which
will save many of our boys from
diseased minds and bodies and
premature deaths.
I also pledge myself to vote
and work for any other bene-
fetal measure.
I wish to call the attention of
the citizens of Fitzgerald to the
fact that while Fitzgerald proper
has not given me a majority in
either of my prior races, [ have
secured for you all the remedial
Legislation you have gotten dur
ing the past six years, thus re-
turning to you good for evil.
When went to the senate, six
years ago, your city tax rate was
above twenty dollars per thous-
and. I amended your city char
ter, limiting your tax rate so
that it could not exceed ten dol
lars per thousand, except in case
of disaster. Since that time you
have as many children in your
free schools and your city gov
eminent has been quite as well
managed as when you paid twice
as much per thousand. L passed

Now, DR.. Dorminy and I are

state of affairs that has brought
about this race. However, rather
than have as our representative

HEREBY ANNOUNCE
MYSELF A CANDIDATE
FOR REELECTION TO THE
LOWER HOUSE OF THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
GEORGIA, SUBJECT TO OUR
COMING PRIMARY.
If I live to serve as Irwin's
representative, I expect, during
the first ten days of the next
session of our general assembly,
to pass my extreme high license
bill, and at the same time I ex-
pect to pass a bill repeating
Ocilla's dispensary law. Imme-
diately thereafter I expect to
pass the New County bill, with
Fitzgerald as the county site.
Under the existing laws, the
new county at Fitzgerald, if
created, could be voted back wet,
and would be unless the prohi-
bitionists would go out and buy
votes in the same way that liquor
men do in such elections.
Up to last Saturday quite a
number of prohibitionists had
hoped that DIR. E. J. Dorminy
would agree to carry extreme
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1906-04-17

and uttered no protest against
this proposed violation of law.
Now I happen to know that man
and neither he nor DR.. Dorminy
have $4,000 of their own to
spend in corruptipg the ballot,
therefore, if the money is FORTH
coming, the liquor men or the
corporations will in all prob
ability have to get it up.
I beg to say that I have not
one dollar with which to buy
votes, but have, and now offer,
$5,OOO.OO reward for the arrest
and conviction of any person
who buys, or offers to buy, votes
id our next primary. $500 90 for
the first arrest and $4,000 each
for every other arrest and con.
viction, until the $5,0O0.OO are
exhausted.
It is rumored that money to
corrupt the ballot has alrerdy
commenced to change hands, not
a thousand miles from Fitzger-
aid, and I will see if I can't have
Pinkerton s force, or VIM. Moore
of Atlanta, pick up some of the
corruptors even before election
day.

NATIONS IN The TEA ROOMS.
PRETTY ADJUNCTS TO UP TO DATE
COUNTRY HOMES.

They Are Furnished With Antique Fittings
Gathered Abroad n Serve . Triple
Purpose Dutch. French Ind Japanese
R~ooms-Outlet for Collecting Fever,
A taa room furnished with articles repre-
sentative Of n country is an attra ctive
feature Of many country homes. Such a
room serves a triple purpose. 1t gives a
reason for collecting-an outlet for the COL
lecting fever which sooner or later strikes
every New York woman Of fashion and
wealth with q home OF her own; 1t acts as
an incentive to take the yearly trip to
Europe and 1t offers an interesting show
place to which the proud hostess may con-
duct guests who drop in at the tea hour.
In SOM cases this new style tea room
Is built separate from the main house but
connected by a covered way. In one in
stance the owner, q woman Of large weal th,
annexed the tea room to the dwelling Of
her overseer and farmer, situated In a most
picturesque part Of the estate at no great
distance from the main house.
AS a result visitors of an afternoon will
lingly trail their silks over Ia WINS to drink
tea in this Dutch tea room, which for all its
seeming simplicity cost many thousan ds OF
dollars.
Quaint Dutch asement light the octa-
gon shaped room and they are draped with
handspun fabrics decorated with sampler
stitch. From the centre Of the concavs
roof, finished with oolored tiles, hangs what
looks hkea large stained glass squa re lantern
in which was doubtless placed in the old
days a lamp or a candle, but which now
conoeals an electric bulb. Electric lights
are perhaps the only modern accessory In
the room, barring a radiator which supple
ments a log fire in cold weather.
The tall mantel, the deep fireplace, the
andirons, the fire tiles, 6c., of this room
we're all brought from Holland, and the
sight Of them carries one back hundreds
Of years. On the mantel and ranged along
shelves underneath arc tankards, jugs and
mugs Of silver, Of pewter and Of stone,
bearing dates and inscriptions which show
eighteenth centuries in German and Dutch
homes. Their money value lies in their
age rather than in the material or work.
manship.
The same may be said Of the chairs and
tables and ~settees, and Of the timeworn
articles of brc-a-brac which adorn the
tables. Sofa pillows, table covers, even the
rug on the floor, all illustrate German hand
industries. Some Of these are of compare
lively modern make, others are really
antiques. Outside the entrance door hangs
an old German latch string and cluster Of
bells, and over the Intel is an inscription In
German welcoming the visitor.
After inspecting this Dutch tea room one
guest announced her determination to own
q French tea room, some Of her ancestors
having been residents Of France, and sev-
eral Japanese tea rooms, the easiest per-
haps to reproduce, are already completed.
