BIG BAPTIST SCHOOL At
Whitley STATION.
WILL Be on ELECTRIC LINE.

There is a project on foot to put
one of the largest preparatory
schools in the state just 4 miles
south of this city at Whitley sta
ton.
The plans are already fairly well
developed and we have been wait
ing to make this announcement
rather than take the chances on a
change of plans or a failure of the
scheme.
Rev. J. I. Oxford not only con-
ccived the idea and brought it to
attention of the associatio at Val
dosta, but has made such progress
with the development of the plans
already as to guarantee ultimate
success.
Large contributions of lands and
money have already been subscrib
ed and a board appointed by the
Georgia Baptist association have
the work well in hand.
Mr.. Oxford, is interchangeable,
a man Of indomitable energy and of
experience in that class of work ID
deyoting his best efforts to the
carrying out of the project that
means very much to Fitzgerald and
this whole section.
The plan is to build 49,
900. 90 school on tile beautiful site
just west of Whitley, on valua
BILE land which has been donat-
cd by Mr.. Wiley Whitly; who is
himself thoroughly Unlisted in the
work.
The school will be on the cleo
trio line between Fitzgerald and
Ocilla therefore in close touch with
the city and of the utmost impor-
lance from a social, business and
moral standpoint.
A mass meeting will be called at
proper time to give this impor-
tant matter the consideration it de-
serves at the hands of this com
munity.

Much feeling has been caused in &C.
clesiastica quarters by the action. The
new mayor is a son of Giuseppe and
Sarah Nathan, who befriended the
Italian patriot Mazzini in his struggles
for united Italy. This couple nursed
Mazzini in sickness, and Giuseppe con-
stituted himself his secretary and
would have followed him into battle
or exile. The parents of the present
mayor lived at one time in London,
and it was there that he was born.
Later they resided at Lugano. The
younger Nathan was educated at Ok
ford university and is a scholar of
versatile attainments. He speaks the
language of Dante with an elegance
and precision that admit of no Roman
idioms. A few years ago he became
proprietor of the Liberal organ, Do
we're. and he delivered In the College
of Rome an address on AIaZzim and
his doctrine which attracted the atten-
ton and Endorsement of the king, who
called him in counsel as q result. 1t is
said Mayor Nathan's hand is seen in
the new scheme for the unification of
taxation throughout the peninsula and
in the steps that have been taken. to
lessen the agricultural burdens of the
inhabitants Of southern Italy.

HELENA. Mon. Aug. The district
court at the request Of a local cab company
to-day issued ar alternative writ directing
the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone Com
pany to resume operations, making il re-
turnable tomorrow morning. Federal
Judge Hunt granted a temporary restrain
ing order against the labor unions to pre-
vent a bovcott of the business OF the oom-
pany. The striking operators were re-
quested by the company TO return to work
with the ultimatum that their places other
wise would be filed by imported help.
The cabc company sought the writ Of man
damus on the ground that the telephone
company exercises the power of eminer,

franchises from the public should. there

RUsHyrLLE, Ind. Aug. Though this
was the homecoming day Of former citizens
of Rush county, Speaker Joseph q. Cannon
easily carried Of the honor OF the occasion,
though he is not nor pretends to he q former
citizen OF the county. Indeed, he was the
chief attraction and was advertised a. the
one real big show OF the day. His picture
was in store windows and street cars, and
his name was painted on fence rails and on
sidewalks and on long streamers stretched
across the principal streets.
Congressman Watson arranged TO give
the Speaker a grand sendof and he suo-
ceeded even better than he had hoped.
When Uncle Joe was introduced to the
large audience the woods fairly rang with
the cheers and the demonstration was so
pronounced and so prolonged that the
Speaker blushed in spite of efforts to appear
at ease.
He came very nea n going of into politics
once in a while, but il was TO be a non
pa rtisan affair and he kept away ron the
prohibited partisan talk IA well as could
have been expected. His the me was
Patriotism and Prosperity with enough
anecdotes and eminisoenoes sandwiched
in TO make it all very interesting to the old
settlers. He did take a stand against
Government ownership OF railroads., how
ever. but IL was only during a depression
from the main the me.
Il stand opposed to the idea Of the Gov
INT Of the United States or the Gov-
I'M Of any State owning the railroads"
said he. In support Of his assertion that
the idea is a bad one he declared that in
Germany, where 90 per cent OF the railroads
are owned by the Government. the cost
OF the carriage of the products OF agri-
culture and industry are fou times as
much as in the United States. The his
tory of Government ownership OF rail-
roads" he said. lis a history Of failure"
He didn't mention the words protective
sritf. but he declared very forcibly that the
present prosperity OF the country would
continue as long as present policies are
continued.
Uncle Joe took no stock in the cry hat
the rich are growing richer and the poor
poorer. He tramped all over pessimists
and knockers. and in closing said:
I'm going to keep my face toward the
east you'll never find me down among
the ,pessimists. prophesying damna'ion to
the human race
