Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-06-15


lads were hustled off the streets and sent to bed or
at least sent home to parents who have seemingly
not sufficient interest in them, or control over
them. Yes the curfew rang last night and we are
assured it will ring regularly in the tuture-Fitz-
gerald Enterprise.
The curfew might be a source OF much good
to the small boys of our town Also On the streets
in the towns at nights is about the worst place
for the boys of our day. 1t looks like parents
would keep them at home, at least after nightfall,
but if they will not, then the curfew cohld be
made to do so.-Telfare Enterprise.

A negro Will Johnson who was hung in At
lanta Friday after several attempts had been made
to secure his pardon, the ground that his con
viction a result of prejudice against him on
account of his color and bad reputation, confessed
six horrible crimes just before he went to the galoWs
For half an hour before Sheriff helms sprung
the gallows trigger in Fulton county JAIL Johnson
tore open the depths of his hellish life. And so
appalling were the deeds he told of that spectators
hardened to scenes and tales of guilt shrank against
the prison walls and felt if DEVILS tongue, not
mans were scorehing their blood. From the ne
gro's own utterances he is stamped as the arch
fend of Fulton county, spirit too sin-eaten for
the miriest clay to house, too terrible Tor the
widest imagination to conceive.
Johnson's confession includes in chronological
order; attempted assault on the Misses Lawrence
the assault upon Mrs Hembree, the murder OF
ANGUS Moody the assault on Mrs Camp, the at
tempted assault upon Mrs. Kimball, of Oakland
City, and the firing into the window OF John
Bryant in East Point

Everyone knows it is no good worrying about
the weather. although it has such vast influence
on agriculture and business. 1t has been said by
an aged Virginia lady that her grandfather told
her that in 1916 there was corn raised in North
ern Virginia and the men harvested wheat IN over
coats. There were frosts every month severe
enough to kill all tender vegetation and open fires
were necessary for comfort on many days III June.
In New York and the New England states almost
all vegetation was killed and there was great stuff
ering in consequence Those who are grumbling
so much abont the abnormal weather this year
should be comforted by the thought of how mnch
worse it might be.-Macon News.

Mr. G. w. Hayes of the Southern GrantOid
Co.. has an order for several carloads, OF his al
ready famous cement sewer pipe, or tile The
cement tile is much stronger and more even than
it is possible to make the terracOtta tile, which is
made very wet and burned and is often bent and
fattened whereas the cement tile is absolutely
true: 1t is a little heavier but much stronger
than the teracorta tile The cement tile is entirely
a new idea but is decidedly success
Mr. HavnS is one of orr most enterDriSlnS
citizens. He has maintained Il large payroll for
several years, in business that is dependant
largely on his genius and energy. He has made
large dividend for his company and his success has
resulted in attracting considerable competition
He scenes to thrive on competition, and in the
manufacture of his cement sewer pipe he has OPP
ened up an entirely new field and large one at
that The Enterprise would like to see him ship
several carloads per day, besides furnishing the
local demand which will be considerable for sever
al years to come.

read a paper before the national editorial associ
alton at jamestown, Thursday. Perhaps the most
notable of all the papers heard by the assembled
editors. He traced the history OF Journalism from
the Weekly News published in London, England in
1922 down to the present Metropolitan Journals.
Mr. Noyes reviewed the history and struggles
of Captain John Smith, recalling his remarkable
services for the establishment and preservation of
the jamestown colony land the ngratitude with
which these services were repaid by his fellow col
onists.n He deplored the fact that Captain Smith
did not have an energetic, independent press to
hack him mn in his GREAT work
