Fitzgerald, Georgia
MARY r. WHITSON.-

The history of Fitzgerald reads
like a page from the Arabian
Nights.
Eleven years ago there was
nothing but wiregrass where
now stands the handsome, pros
porous city of Fitzgerald, with
it's am bilious, hustling population
of between six and seven thous-
and cosmopolitans, all bent on
making Fitzgerald,s the most fa-
nous town in the wiregrass
country.
The assessed value of Fitzger-
aid is about or little more than
two and half millions of dollars.
The increase has been something
remarkable.
Fitzgerald has twelve attor-
neys, fifteen physicians, three
D. D. S., four banks, cotton COM
press, ice factory, soi1 mill, nov
city works, turpentine still, two
bottling works, foundry, several
drug stores and large Number

made money since its organi-
zation. The net personal worth
of the directors represents one
and one half million dollars. Re-
member that brains and money
are invincible.
The Empire Mercantile Co.,
established five years ago, has a
capital stock of $17,5OO, and a
floor space Of three rooms, 25x9O
feet. The company controls a
splendid trade, the very cream of
the city, and can furnish you
with any line of the finest goods
brought to this market. The

nounced one of the wealthiest
and most successful houses in all
this part of the wiregrass. W.

Kiel, By Cable.-Emperor William,

which Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth would

Eltel Frederick asking if she could not
come to Kiel at once so that Mrs.
Longworth could be entertain
ed aboard the Hamburg, the
Emperor's improvised yacht. 1t
IS the emperor's rule
never to invite women on board his
vessel unless the empress or one Of the
imperial princesses are present.
Empress Augusta Victoria, it is I'M

1t was quite an American evening.
Besides Mr.. and Mrs. Longsworth, Al

present. Princes Eitel was amiable
and Emperor William jolly and COM
plimentary to America and Ameri-
cans.
After the dinner the emperor and
Princess Eitel with their guests and
the emperor's staff, went on the quar-
ter deck Of the Hamburg to witness
the Examinations. The club house, the

Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth were de-
tanned by Emepror William until after

SPEAKS FOR himself

Taking for His Text the Statement
That He is Being Described as
Conservative, Nebraskan Declares
That Radical measures Against
Private Monopolies Are Necessary
to Save Legitimate Wealth From,
Odium.
vTrondhjem, Norway, By Cable
William J.. Bryan has arrived here
to attend the coronation of King Haa-
kon. Mr.. Bryan, taking for his text
the statement that he was being de-
scribed as conservative, said:
~ am not responsible for the
phrases used in regard to me; but
[ am responsible for my position on
public questions. That position
ought to be we'll known. Take the
trust question for instance, as it
seems uppermost Just now. My po-
sition is, that private monopoly is in
defensible and intolerable. That
was the Democratic platform in 1900
and the plank was incorporated in
1904 and it is the only tenable posi-
lion.
"There is some talk of controll-
ing the trusts-you might as we'll talk
Of controlling burglary. We do not
say men shall not steal a little bit,
Or in some particular way, but that
they shall not steal at all. It is so
Of private monopolies. It is not suf-
icient to control or regulate them
they must be absolutely and totally
destroyed. Corporations should be
controlled and regulated, but private
monopolies must be exterminate1,
root and branch. Now you can call
that a radical doctrine. Yet it is
more conservative to apply this rem
edy now than to wait until predato-
ry wealth has by its lawlessness
brought odium on legitimate accumu-
~Iations.
"What used to be called radical
is now called conservative because
people have been investigating. The
doctrine has not changed but public
sentiment is making progress"
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan will spend a
week in Norway and will then go to
England.
