The Gospel Tent Meetings.

The Union Gospel tent meet
irg which is being conducted by
DR.. Gum, grows in interest and
power. At the opening service
large audience was present.
And the forcefu1 sermon an the
religion of faith, love and obedl-
ence was very effective. DR..
Gum in his preliminary remark
stated that he was conscious of
the fact that this cmpaign
against the mighty force of the
devil was locked by the power OF
God and he was sure that God
would set his divine approval
upod his effort to save the lost
souls of Fitzgerald and Communl-
ty Mr.. Gum also stated that
his only purpose here was to de-
liver Gods message and to bring
light and salvation to the lost.
His discourse Thursday eve
ming on the religion of sunshine
and victory was very effective.
He spoke of so many people
shutting ont Gods sunshine and
love by looking on the gloomy
side of life. On friday evening
his discourse was on the religion
of sacrifice ia service.
The music for these services
is being effectively rendered by
Mr.. Gum and three of the boys
selected from the Boys Band Of
the Georgia Industrial Home.
Everybody should join hearth
" with Mr.. Gum and his co-1at-
ors in making this meeting a |
success.

POSITION OF HON. B. {. WILCOX.
Extreme High License.
Repeal Ocilla Dispensary Law.
New County Bill, with Fitzgerald as County
Site.

These are the three bills l expect to pass at
this session of the general assembly if do moth
nothing else.
Two years ago l ran for the legislature and
was elected on the single Issue of controlling the
liquor traffic thro local legislation.
I notice that five members of the Ftzger-
gerald council met and "resoluted,' asking me
not to interfere with the liquor curse at .his
session, but to give my undivided time and tai
ent to the passage of the New County Bill.
Ocilla Council has asked that her tank that
breeds insanity, disease, death and hell be allow
ed to remain with them little while longer. l
wish to say that am du m bounded at the action
of some of those councilmen, for they have stood
up before the most high God and said that they
had renounced the world, the flesh and the
devil and would not follow or be led by them.
To comply with their request would lend my
assistance to keep in our midst 1iquor-that
which furnishes the bulk of our material for the
lunatic asylum, 30 per cent of our crime. The
most positive source of immortality on earth"
Abraham Lincoln said in 1855 speaking of the
saloon keeper poor man, he does not seem
to realize the mysery, shame and wickedness he
has set going and which one day he must ac-
count for with God, who forgets nothing" If it
is wrong for these persons to do all these things
it is wrong for the voters to make him their
agent by lega1izing his business to produce
such results.
Saloons can no more be run without boys to
consume degrade, damn and destroy than
saw mill can be without logs. The all-im-
portant question to u.s. whose boys will it be,
your boys or mine? 1t must be somebody's
boys, for annually hundred thousand drunk

wish to state publicly, so that no one can
misunderstood my position, that intend to in
troduce the High License Bill for Irwin County
and Anti-Dispensary Bill for Ocilla the first day
l am permitted to attend the session of the
General Assem- bly, and hope to pass both bills
inside of ten days. l was elected to pass these
bills and would be recreant to my trust should
lay them down for the New County Bill and no
honest, right thinking man will expect me to do
so. After passing these bills shall immedi-
ately take up the New County Bill and if the adj
vocates of the bill will help me with anything
like as much zeal as the liquor crowd are work.
ing to continue handing out to our own sons and
daughters liquid fire and distilled damnaton,
then we will be sure to get New County. The
general assembly am satisfied will be willing
to create our County. AS 1 see it now, if we
fail it will be because of lack of unity among
those who say that they want New County.
Yours to better conditions,

We are just home from Atlanta where we
spent several days in the interest of the New
County of Ben Hill We received abundance of
encouragement, but there are some obstacles to
overcome which will have to be handled in tact
full manner. In the absence of the author of the
bill Hon. B. E. Wilcox, who has been detained
at home this week on account of the loss of his
estimable wife, the bill will not of course, be
taken up until he has reached the capital and
gotten the matter fairly in hand.

county or not, but there should be none what

cents per bushel via New York. This
is saving of 5.34 cents per bushel
for the Mississippi route-an addition
it is estimated, to the income of the
farmers of the valley states of more
than 500, 100000 a year, or $500, 900,

carrying possibilities.
1 Grain, it happens, is most readily
singled out for illustration by the
champion of waterways improvement
as its statistics are more available.
In 1880 the average vessel entering
Boston harbor drew twenty-five and
one-half feet, carried $500 tons, and
charged eight to ten cents per bushel
on grain to Liverpool. Today the av-
erage vessel draws thirty feet, carries
1900 tons, and charges two to three
cents. Charges on other classes of
freight have been reduced in proper
ton, reduction of nearly 400 per
cent in twenty years. This Is the re-
suit of deepening the channel at an
expense of $5,000,000.
Think of what that means to the
American people" is Mr.. Ransdell's
comment, a saving OF, six cents on
every bushel of wheat Or corn, a saw
ing of s39,279,260 on the average
wheat crop, and s1s4650,56 on the
corn crop. And yet you ask If the
farmer of Minnesota is interested in
the five millions spent on Boston har-
Dor?
In the very nature of things, trans
portation by water must effect a great
saving over transportation by rail.
The coal required, FOR instance, TO
drive train carrying 1000 tons of
freight on the Michigan Southern
railway at the rate of IS miles an
hour would drive steamboat on the
Lakes at the same rate with load OF
10000 tons. 1t costs the railroad,
moreover, $1,000 per mile per annum
for maintenance of way alone,
whereas the free waterway OF the
Lakes does not cost the steamship
one cent per mile per annum for
maintenance of way, to say nothing Of
the cost Of original construction.
And the waterways are open to all
alike. No transportation company
CAL ever monopolize them.

Some thirty-five years ago the cost

cents by water, by way of the Lakes

SAVING DOLLARS FOR

What Uncle Sam Has Gained Through I'm

Washington.-An investment Yield
Ing a return of six dollars for every
one invested seems business propo-
sition that if guaranteed beyond per-
adventure of failure would find ready
takers. Yet Uncle Sam, astute bust
ness man though he is on occasion.
is accused of persistently refusing to
take full advantage of just this propo-
sluon. To a degree he has enjoyed
It's benefits. His experience in a linn
tied fashion, indeed, it is argued, has
itself proved the accuracy of claims
made in his behalf.
After a careful study of the sub
Ject, | am convinced that water rates
under favorable conditions are only
one7sixth as high as those by rail, and
that every dollar prudently expended
in improving and perfecting the navi-
cation of our waters will save six dol

Guced rates." says an authority, Rep.

duction of only seven States adjacent
to the Lakes-Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and
Michigan-at the last census, 2,204,-
100000 bushels, this saving of over
five cents per bushel in freight rates
to the seaboerd means the addition of
$11,000,000 per annum on the grain
crop alone to the income of the farm
ers of these States.
This immense sum would have gone
into the hands of the railroads and a
much greater sum annually from traf-
fic of other kinds were it not for
water transportation; but that is not
all. Railroad men admit that the
Erie canal, in conjunction with per-
fected channels in the Detroit, ST.
Clair and st. Mary's rivers, regulates
and controls freights from the Missis-
sippi river to the Atlantic and from
the Lakes to the gulf.
The Mississippi river itself plays a
part of much significance as money

end, you would have the painters

Once, in the early summer, three
painters were painting the inside of
a house in the country. Towards
