AS will be seen by the proclamation of the
Governor in another column of this paper Ben
Hill county has been made, so far as the house,
senate and Governor are concerned.
The bill received all but one vote in the SEN
ate, all but votes in the house and when it went
back to the senate for concurrence a unanimous
vote, aud was signad by the Governor, as soon
as it could be prepared in the presence of quite
a number of those who worked faithfully for it's
passage. It remains now for the people to en-
dorse the bill at the ballot box the 3rd day of
Oct. next and while there is not the slightest
probability that the amendment. will not adopt
ed still it is altogether possible the creation of
other counties by the legislature at this session
will be adopted at the same election, might have
some effect at the election, but tomorrow is the
last day on which a bill could be legally adver-
tised and it looks now that no other counties
will be provided for in the amendments submit
ted October 3rd.
Up to date the county has cost Fitzgerald
people considerable, but they will be amply re-
paid in the vast advantages that come to us by
reason of the creation of Ben Hill county.
Fitzgerald, Ben Hill County, Georgia, that
sounds good to us.
In most every exchange we read that the
! editor has his lambaster after the weeds.
The month of August has made it's politest
bow and it will not be long before the 22nd. will
present itself to the voters of Georgia.

Mr.. A. w. Fuller one of the best citizens of
Wilcox county is in the city today. He was
originally an Estill man, but the campaign of
vituperation against Mr.. Smith has made him
strong friend of Hoke Smith. Thousands of
votes have been made for Mr.. Smith during this
campaign by the bitterness of the men who op.
pose him.
Next Saturday promises to be an important
day in Fitzgerald history. In addition to the visit

DR." FARLEY
MADE GOOD
QUEER CHARACTER ON REFUGEE
TRAIN CAUSES CONSTERNA-
TON AND APOLOGIES.
Under Suspicion of Officers for Collect
ing from Passengers on Train and
Proved That He Had Been Saliva
ton of Many-Apoloeies Duly Of
fered When Truth is Known,

what threatened to be an exciting
time occurred yesterday afternoon at
the depot when E. E. Farley of Full,
ton' ILL.,, western representative of the
Mystic Workers of the United States,
a fraternal insurance order, came near
being arrested by officers instructed to
guard the refugees during their stay in
the city, says the Cheyenne Tribune.
one of the refugees, for some unknown
reason, reported to the officers that
Farley had taken up a collection on
the train and the officers searched him
out and began to investigate his CON
duct. The refugees promptly came to
his aid and thus was revealed the no.
BILE conduct of this man, who, losing
has sacrificed his time for his fellow
sufferers.
A Guardian Angel.
Knowing something of medicine, aft
er leaving San Francisco, with what
little money he had left he purchased
formaldehyde and fumigated the cars
during the trip eastward. He bought
pills and liniment and in his crude but
kindly way cared for the injured and
the sick. He refused to permit the
men to smoke in the ars on account
of the women and children and threat
ened to put one nan off the train who
insisted on finishing his cigar.
Made Men Clean Cars.
He made the men clean out the re
fuse from the cars several times a day,
fearing disease might break out
among the people who had no change
of clothing nor opportunities for bath
ing. That he might be recognized by
those needing assistance he fashioned
a crude p~lacard, bearing the inscrip-
ton, DIR. Earthquake" which he plac-
ed in his hat. In appreciation of his
untiring efforts and against his desires
the passengers took up a collection OF
$14 and presented it to him. While in
Cheyenne he spent part of this money
for more medicine.
Apologies Offered.
1t was the report that Farley had
taken up the collection which excited
the suspicious of the officers, VINO nave
been instructed to watch out for i'm
posters, many of whom are expected to
try to go east with these trains and
perhaps swindle the refugees out OF
what little money they have, if possible.
The refugees promptly came to Far
ley's assistance, however, n on all
sides were heard expressions such as
He is the angel of the train, He is
a HERO He has done more than any
one man to care for us" etc. When
the real situation was known apologies
We're speedily made to Farley. The
fault lies entirely with the person who
reported to the officers that Farley had
taken up a collection instead of the
truth that it was a voluntary offering.

Christmas in
Bethlehem
How the Glad Holiday Is
Celebrated in Christ's
Natal Town.

The little city of Bethlehem is set
lpon hill which is crowned by the
hurch of the Nativity, writes Marion
'arland. The Grotto, which all sects
# believers have agreed upon as the
birthplace of our Lord. is directly I'M
.er the church and entirely dependent
or light upon artificial means. sill
er star is let into the pavement of
emi-circular niche, above which Is an
utar adorned with the usual churchly
ymbols. By the light of Is colored
amps suspended under the altar we
cad the inscription in Latin:
Here Jesus Christ Was Born
of the Virgin Mary"
The long line of pilgrims Frustrated
themselves, one by one, and kissed the
star, some with dropping tears-all,
,ilently-solemnized beyond the range
If speech. 1t did not add to our sol.
smnity to be shown the manager, deco
rated with lace and an embroidered
lltar-cloth.
The really impressive things were
occasional glimpses of the rough stone
walls and roof of the ancient stable,
visible here and there between the
gaudy decorations.
The service of Christmas Eve be-
gan at half-past ten at night and con-
Guided at half-past two in the morn
ing. At midnight lullaby from the
organ preluded the supreme moment
of the occasion-the sudden folding
back of curtain above the altar. re-
vealing a manger-cradle and box wax
doll. The exultant outburst of organ
and choir in a magnificent Gloria in
Excelsis accompanied the stately pro-
cessional Of the entire staff of priests
and acolytes, chanting and swinging
censers while they bore up one aisle
and down another, back to the high
altar, the same doll, dressed in cam
brio and lace, and nesting in the en-
brace of the richly appareled bishop.
Every incident of our last night In
Iamars camp in Bethlehem recurs to
ME with peculiar distinctness. How.
as the darkness deepened, the red,
blinking eyes of the charcoal craters
