Business men of Fitzgerald it is high time to
council to gether Fitzgerads destiny is too i'm
portant matter to neglect
We admire the man who does things on his
own motion, we pity the man, the wcakling who
simply apes his neighbors and competitors.
Waycross has two powerfully good daily papers.
We do not know whether their excellence is pur-
ely result of competition of liberal patronage.
If the people who live in Fitzgerald believe in
her destiny, and the people who do not live here
believe in her destiny, and the large number oil
people who are coming here believe in her destiny,
it looks sufficiently unanimous.
Fitzgerald needs great many things, but one
of her pressing necessities at this time is to be rid
of some of the sorry white men who failing to re-
ceive the attention they crave seek to lnJure the
community in retaliation for the fancied wrong. A
few knockers and fault finders are Il menace to any
community.
negro was lynched near the home of Tom
Il Watson, night before last, for shooting white
man. The crime for which the negro was lynch
ed was ugly one and of course stirred the pas
sion of the friends and neghbors of the negroes vic
tim, but the lynching of the negro was much
grayer offence against sOciety-aganst the state

BY the way the blind tiger wherever he is, is
resting quietly When he shows up again it will
y be in court of course Then it will about be the
time for inaugurating the zebra stripe campaigns
the treasury afford now to omit the fines, and
we will soon be needing recruits for the roadgang.
In this connection we want to add that there
is not IA man white or black in all knowledge
that would enjoy seeing on the road gang, not
one. Altho we have some pretty tough enemies,
but we advocate the chain gang remedy because
we believe it will stop blind tgering
