Like all early English names having
the prefix OF 'Titz" or Elise" (son),
they show tho Norman origin st.
Gerald was very common and favor
lite name during tho eleventh. century,
being applied by the higher Norman
families. and "lSitz" was early applied
to Gerald, us "lTitz Gerald" which has
passed down the ages SunchanEod; so

This ancient family descended from
Gerald Fitzgerald, surnamed McCarcll.
from whom also sprang tho extinct
house OF Fitzgerald Enrls Of Desmond.
Sir Edmund Fitzgerald, Knit Of Clong-
lsh, was created n baronct of Ireland
Sth February, 1G44. He married his
cousin. Honora. daughter Of James
Fitzgerald. grandson of John, eleventh
Earl OF Desmond, by whom he had a
son, Maurice. Sir Edmund. during the
Revolution, burned his castle at Cleng-
Ilish to prevent It's falling into the
hands of tho rebels, and raised and
maintained a regiment Of horse ut his
own expense for the royal cause. After
the restoration Of Charles H.. he pre-
scented a petition, praying for rein
statement of his property, of which
Cromwell had deprived him; but 1t was
In vain. He then moved to County
Cork, where he had estates, MS 3we1l
as in Kerry and Tipperary. 81

Farris Bill Said to Have
Made Such a Thing
Not Impossible.
1T is FEARED BY SOME THAT
CHANGING OF WARD LINES MAY
GIVE THE NEGROES A CHANCE
TO SEND FOUR OF THEIR RACE
TO THE CITY COUNCIL NEXT
TIME.

Jacksonville, June 11.-Because of
bill passed by the legislature by
Representative l. L. Farris of Duval
county, changing the city wards, the
Democratic voters of Sprinfeld, west
of Main street, comprising the Sixth
ward. and also in the Seventh ward
in LaVilla, are very uneasy, because
the colord voters in these two wards
see in the Farris bill an opportunity
of eIect1ng four COuncilmen of their
race, and they are organized for that
purpose.
A very small vote has usually been
pOlled in a general city election, and
unless the Democratic voters go to
the polls on the 18th of this month
the nominee of the Urinary stand a
chance of being defeated
Two years ago, when Springfield
was all one ward, only 1874 votes were
polled in the city election. This ward
has since heen divided, and less
than $50 Democrats participated in
the last primary in the Sixth ward,
while about 500 cOlored voters, 1t Is
alleged, are qualified there.
In the last city election the highest
vote polIed in the Seventh ward was
III, while to-day the colored voters
are organized and claim about 275
voters who are qualified. 1t may be
difficult to get the cOlored votes ont,
but every Democratic voter should go
to the polls and support the nominees
of their party Mr.. Farris' bill, in
stead of keeping the colord men out.
