King Cotton Dethroa ID By
Tobacco In Decatur
County.

King Cotton is just about to be
dethrOned in Decatur county.
And this condition is not surpris-
ing when it is known that in this
county alone last year there was
raised over 1900, 900 pounds of
tobacco. All of the shaded tObac-
co brought from so to IS cents per
pound. 1t requires an expendi-
ture of about $3.50 or $500 per acre
to produce shaded tobacco, and
usually about 1000 pounds of to-
bacco are raised to the acre.
Sixty miles from cambridge is
located the Cohn Tobacco Syndi-
cate, at Amsterdam. This planta-
ton is said to be the largest tobac-
co farm in the world, employing
over 5000 hands.
Since it has become an estab-
lished fact that Decatur county
alone produces more tobacco an
nually than the whole State of
Georgia, the lands in this section
known to be tobacco lands are
bringing fancy prices. Hon. w.
E. Smith, who has a plantation ten
miles below here, was offered $115,
900 for his place a few days ago,
but refused to accept it.

Sand Lime Brick.

The fact that we have a sand
lime brick plant identified with
Fitzgerald's group of Industries
creates an interest with most OF
our readers in the product of the
plant which has. been owned by
Mr.. F. j. Hansen more than yea1
Oh the Thomasville branch of the
A. B. &. A. r. r., near the AL
lapaha river.
Mr.. Hansen is running his plant
at full capacity and finds ready
sale for the out put. But if the
brick were fully appreciated by
local people the demand would be
ten times as great.
But one building in Fitzgerald
has been constructed out of the
Sand Lime brick. The StraffOrd
Hotel on south Grant street.
The brick in the wall of the
Straford were made by MI. Han
sens plant while it was in the eX
peremental stage. But it is prob
ably true that it is the only brick
building in the town without a
single crack in any Of it's walls.
The brick seems to be the earth
quake and fire proof or as nearly
so as building meterial can be
made.
The following letter from San
Francisco is an unusual fine en-
dorsement and certainly puts Sand
Lime brick at the head of TIL e
list OF building materials.
San Francisco, April 20, 1907.
Hansen Sand Lime Brick Co.,
Fitzgerald, Georgia.
Dear SIR
Replying to your favor OF re-
cent date asking concerning our
experience in using sand | i m {
brick, beg to state that we have
used a large number of them and
are using them in the completion
of the Monadnock Building. They
are very soft when they are put in
the wall, so much so as to arouse
distrust, but after they get into
the wall they grow very hard and
make magnificent brick. We
like them very much. They stood
the fire better than anything else,
practically were uninjured so far
as we were able to know.
Yours Very Truly,
HoNERo E. LAND.

The School Board
and School Buildings.
Fitzgerald, Ga, May 6, o.

AAOASoSAc UA>t> OeU'3 10y ~ "
To the Public.
So many patrons and friends
of the Public Schools have recently
made enquiries of different mem
berS of the Board of Education as
to when the erection of new school
buildings would be begun, and il
the present congested condition in
regard to school accommodations
would be relieved by the opening
of the fall term, that the Board of
Education, at it's last meeting, re-
quested me to make known to the
Public the status of affairs in re-
gard to new school buildings.
Many who have approached me
on the subject were labOring under
the mistaken idea that the Board
has the power to proceed at once
in this matter; and, by these, the
Board was being censured for it's
apparent lack of interest and dis
regard of the wishes of the citizens
and tax payers.
The Board of Education is abso-
lutely powerless to take one step
in regard to the erection of new
school buildings until the money
for that purpose is provided for by
the City Council; and just as soon
as these funds are supplied, the
Public may rest assured that the
Board of Education will not delay
in doing it's duty i'll the premises.
The situation will be thoroughly
understood by reading: first, the
preamble and resolutions tIans-
mitted by the Board of Education
to the City Council ON April 4,
last; and, second, the latter of the
city clerk, bearing date April 16,
showing what disposition was
made of the resolutions by the
City Council.
Both of these are hereto appen
ded. Respectfully,
Jas. I. Saunders,
Secretary Board of Education.

UTIONS.


UTIONS.
At meeting of the Board of
Education of the City of Fitzgerald
held at the office of the Secretary,
on Thursday, the 4th day of April
1907, the following Preamble and
Resolution was unanimously adj
opted, and the Secretary was in
structed to transmit copy of the
same to the Mayor and council Of
said city.
Whereas, at a joint meeting of
this Board and the Mayor and
Council of the City of Fitzgerald,
held on the Dist day of February,
1907, a resolution, in writing, was
presented by this Board, to said
Mayor and Council, urging that
some provision be made so that
this Board might proceed in the
erection of new school buildings in
order to have the same ready for
occupancy at the fall term, 1907,
of the Public Schools; the impor
lance of such action to the school
interests of the city being further
stressed, verbally, at said joint
meeting by this Board:
And, whereas, this Board was
informed by said Mayor and Coun-
Gil, at said joint meeting, that
said Mayor and Council would,
after a conference, notify ?hls
Board of its action in the premises:
And, whereas, the period of one
and one half months has elapsed
since such joint meeting was held,
and this Board has received nc
communication of any kind from
said Mayor and Council i'll regard
to the matter then urged:
Now, therefore, be it resolved
that the Secretary of this Board
be, and he hereby is instructed to
transmit copy of this Preamble
and Resolution to the said Mayor
and Council, and request the said
Mayor and Council to notify this
Board, at as early a date as pos

Concealed Weapons.

l
the evil practice Of carrying con-
cealed weapons. In New York
city special efforts have been made
recently to suppress the evil in
| that charnel house of iniquity,
and raid by the police resulted
in a very unique and curious col
lection of Bowie knives, dirks and
pistols, representing both ancieut
and Modern times.
The New York press has reached
the acme of moralizing on the sub
Iject. Hon. T. A. Parker, our own
superior Court judge, has made in
his semi annual charges to t h e
Grand Jury some very strong ut
terances on the cowardiy practice
of carrying concealed weapons,
but what he has had to say on the
subject is not nearly so strong as
what some of the New York editors
have had to say. We give some
extracts:
The Tribune says: "The man
with concealed weapon uses it,
because he imagines that all other
men are as fearful as he is and as
ready to shoot or stab on the first
prOvocation or at the first sign of
danger. Such murderers 81
their own death warrants when
they first yield to the impulse to
carry concealed arms. The man
with a pistol in his pocket draws
it on some one daily in magma
ton, and sooner or later he draws
it in reality. 1t is only by neutra-
lizing this fatal power of sugges-
tiOns that the homicidal mania can
be checked and it is only when a
man puts aside deadly weapons
that he acquires real courage and
becomes really free and tranquil. "
The World suggests. ''The po-
lice should have here, as they have
in the District of Columbia, juris
diction over all places where dead
ly weapons are sold. Pistols
should not be less difficult to OBJ
tain than poisons. "
The American asserts: 1T h 81
carrying of concealed weapons is
not only illegal, but it is condemn
ed by every sound argument in
theory and by every result in
practice. AS a method Of defense
against foot pads it is inffectual.
For every other purpose that is not
criminal it is unnecessary. ''Hab-
itual pistol toters' are no more fit
to live with civilized human beings
than is mad dog or wild beast.
But if the beast must be among us,
it is nothing more than common
sense precaution to pull his teeth
and pare his claws"
1t remains, however, for I h e
Catholic Messenger, of Worcester,
Mass, to suggest remedy which
it says has been tested and found
efficacious, as follows:
"Impose minimum fine Of $50
for carrying around that kind of
hardware, and give half the fine
to the infOrmror. Arrange mat
ters so that all the spy has to do
is to give the tip to the nearest
policeman and point out his man,
since the finding of the weapon on
the accused is all the proof that is
necessary, the informer, will not
have to appear in the witness box,
and therefore will not fear the
vengeance of his victims. "-Willa-
chochee Sun.
