RIPE STRAWBERRIES IN DECEMBER.

Dear EQ1tOrs SenU you SdmP1S VI AAP0
Strawberries grown in the open air in south
Georgia. have by repeated experiments been
able to make Strawberries blossom in November
in the open air which gives us the ripe berries
during the holidays.
To those interested, will send a sample of
the berries and full account of how it was done.
I will add that it cannot be done in South Flor
ida as it requires certain amount OF cold
which does not appear there until December.

Parents of Fitzgerald! Where are your
bows and girls after night-fall2 Are they i'm
bibing evil influences on the streets, or are they
at home, safeguarded by those sacred surround
ings where evil dare not intrude?
GUARD YOUR CHILDREN!
From the tone of the presidents special
message anent the Panama canal, the natural
inference left is that practical operations on the
big ditch are proceeding satisfactorily and that
most of the preliminary hindrances having been
removed, the gigantic enterprise will be pushed
steadily and rapidly toward completion.
The Benevolent Society is preparing to car
ry christmas cheer into the homes OF some of the
cty's worthy poor and it is to be hoped the ex-
ample of this noble band may be emulated by
numerous of the city y'sgenerous-heareedc citizens
whose financial circumstances renders this pleas
cure possible to them.
Atlanta is having considerable trouble with
her liquor license question. The liquor license
question is always troublesome. The men who
pay the license are out for the money and they
make it their business to make trouble when it
is necessary to bring council committee or
any other conflicting element to terms but the
people lose patience after a while and turn in
and do the right thing.
There has been some indefinite talk abou
the independent candidates in the county and
city election but talk is cheap you know the fool
who is willing to go up against the nominee at
the white primary may never have real good
sense but then be wiser after the election we do
not know who may be an independent candidate
and little do we care but put us down as "agin"
him whoever he may be- The nominees of the
white primary need not lose any sleep, they
will be elected every one of them.

Running a newspaper is Just like running
hotel, only different. When goes into a
hotel and finds something on the table which
does not suit him he does not raise hades with
the landlord and tell him to stop his old hotel.
Well hardly. He sets that dish to one side and
wades into the many dishes that do suit him. It
is different with some newspaper readers.
They read an article occasionally that does not
suit them exactly and without stopping to think
it may please hundreds of other readers, pro-
ceeds to make grand stand play by telling the
editor how paper ought to be run, and what
he should put in it. But such people are be-
coming fewer every year. $50 mote it be-

The Gillette murder trial in New York
seems likely to result in the enactment in that
state of some legislation restricting or defining
the privileges of the press. Yellow journalism,
as displayed in the sensational reports publish
ed regarding the case is the direct cause of the
move.
Yellow journalism is decried by the better
element of American citizenship and it's suppress.
sion much to be desired, but only real States
craft and wisdom is competent to create legisla.
ton on so vital point as the restriction of the
freedom of the press or of speech. There is
dangerous ground.
