A VISIT TO
THE SCHOOLS.

tendent E. e. Tyner, the editor
| of the Enterprise visited the
Third Ward School one morning
this week, when we had the pleas.
ure of talking a few minutes to
the High School. which is presi-
ded over by Mrs. VIM. Howe.
This is the week for promo
tions, and the addition Of quite a
number of new students to her
class filled her already crowded
room quite beyond the point of
{ comfort. She has now in her
charge, about IS Of the brightest
aud most advanced boys aud
girls in the city schools; quite 20
more than one teacher ought to
be required to look after.
We do not know what her
weekly salary is, but certainly
the people of Fitzgerald ought
to be willing to pay we'll for the
responsibility she has on her
hands.
On the same floor, and adjoin-
ing the High School, Prof. Tyner
has Commercial class that con.
stitutes one of the important
features of the work he has in
hand. This work is entirely
optional with the student, or
parent, or guardian at least.
We found Mrs. E. A. Jones,
in charge of the fourth grade,
quite as crowded as the High
School, with both hands full and
more coming. She was, with
an inspiring spirits and energy
rearranging her classes, made
necessary by the promotions.
In charge of the third grade,
Miss Mary Hale was ruling the
sceptre, or ruler or some sort OF
insignia Of authority; not the
old-time hickory that we were
so familiar with in our school
days. But with something-per-
haps an earnest 1ook-the little
fellows were drilled like soldiers.
In the primary grade, Mrs.
W. #. Klepper was teaching the
young ideas how to shoot, and it
must be admitted that some of
them shot quite at random, for
she too had just received num-
Der of raw recruits, and the
average S year old who had never
seen the inside of a school house
before, is indeed a raw recruit.
She was industriously, even en-
thusiasticaly at work, and certain

ton.
A large majority Of the pup
lis in each grade are girls. The
boys are conspicuous by their
absence.
There are $50, probably more
children in the white schools,
under the supervision of Supt.
Tyner. More than 100 of these
have come in since the first day
of January. To accommodate
these, four outside rooms in
different sections of the city are
being utilized. The visitor is
impressed, first of all with tn e
absolute necessity for a new
school building. 1t is impor.
tant that one or more modern
buildings be built this year. We
love to brag about Fitzgerald and
her institutions and industries,
her progress and general pros
perity, but we admit (away down
at the bottom of this article,
where but few outsiders are
likely to read it, that Fitzgerald
has been grieyouslv direlict in
this important matter.

Nine hundred and thirty-nine
indictments, carrying possible
fines aggregating 500, 100000 and
Imprisonment terms from 1872 to
939 years. were returned by the

companies and probably the
most formidable in other ways
Ever since the hearing of the
case in the Probate court and
the arguments upon the motion

ed recently against M. G. Villas,

counsel for the state has been
working on an Indictment that
would hold.l
BATTLE OF TECHNICALITIES.
The insistent warning of the
Standards attorneys upon tech.
nical points led to the plan adopt
ed in this instance-the finding
of indictments against each per-
son and company accused for
each day of the period for which
they are charged with having
acted in violation of the Valentine
Antitrust law.
By this course the state has
eliminated the mooted questions
of continuendo and duplicity of
charges, against which the Stand
ard attorneys laid successful
siege in the case of the indict-
ments against the Cleveland Of
fcia1s of the Standard Oil, of
Ohio, which indictments have
been quashed at the request of
Prosecutor David.
HosTILITIEs CONTINUE.
That no time may be lost in
remedying any defect which the
attorneys of the Standard may
find in these indictments the
Grand jury has been adjourned
until Feb. Is. P1eadings are ex-
pected to have been made to
these indictments before that
date. If the indictments fail to
stand the legal test others will
be returned. There is to be no
cessation in the hostilities.
Three years are covered in the
indictments against Messrs.. Will
liam Rockefeller, Rogers, Bar
stow, Archbold, Tilford and the
Standard of New Jersey, the
Ohio Oil company. and the Solar
Refining company from Jan. a.,
1904, to date. The indictments
against John D. Rockefeller, F..
T. Cuthbert the Manhatten Oil
company, the Buckeye Pipe Line
company and the Standard of
Ohio cover the period between
July 7. 1906, and the present. In
all the indictments Sundays are
counted out.
SENTENCES OF CENTURIES.
Just now soon prosecutions
will begin under the indictments
returned today will depend large
ly upon the course adopted by
the Standard attorneys. If mo-
tions to quash are filed immedi-
atav and the indictments stand
their fire it is not improbable
that prosecutions may begin at
the latest with the opening on
next term of Common Pleas
court. The possibilities in fines
and Imprisonment sentence are

ber. They never ask for do
nation. When possible by their
own efforts, they earn what they
can for the society. They have
had many donations, unsolicited,
and always very thankfully re-
ceived. There have been enter
tainments under the auspices OF
the Benevolent Society fro m
which they received various
amounts at different times.
The Society, since its organiza-
ton, has had a long hard pull,
and to the most enthusiastic, it
has some times seemed truly re-
markable how they haye manag-
ed to meet the many demands
upon them. They have endeav-
ored to help every worthy case;
they may have helped some un-
worthy but when they have been
IL doubt, they have felt il would
be better to help few unworthy
than let one worthy one go with.
out assistance.
In the infancy of the Society
they had many gallant mem bers
who paid dues of twenty-five
cents per month, but they have
withdrawn steadily until not one
single cent has been collected
from any man ip the past twelve
months. Recently the constitu'
ton has been amended making
the dues of men ten cents. They
have many demands upon them.
Since the organization the Society
has paid out large sums in house.
rent, provisions, clothing and for
trained nurses, with their limited
income. It has always been ne
cessary to make every dollar go
as far as possible while the work
has been done to the very best Of
their ability. They have been in
many instances criticised; are
any of us infallible? do the busi-
ness men Of Fitzgerald never
make mistakes in new enterprise
es? in nearly every instance the
criticism has come from the men.
Do they realize that their regular
income is less than thirty dollars
a year; do they realize that it is
not an unusual thing for the
members of the society to spend
whole afternoons investigating
cases that has been reported TO
them, sometimes to the neglect of
their families and homes, with
no reward save the sweet thought
that, Il have been about my Mas
ters business" Sometimes they
have helped grateful ones but in
, many instances they have helped
those utterly devoid of gratitude,
but they have not become dis.
couraged.
When they had so manv gen.
tleman members, it was our OBJ
iect to assist all who needed help
and thus save the men much an-
noyance and sometimes the fool

thy, but since the men have with
drawn their mbership we cam
not hope to meet ali the demands.
If the men will cooperate with
them and trust their donations
to the inferior(?) judgmen of the
women they will dispense the
funds to the best of their ability;
but without some help from the
men it is unreasonable to expect
the women to take care of all who
are within and may come within
our Cates. We are frequently

Simple Process.
'IIow does a grange proceed to in.
corporate under the grange incorpora-
lion law" The process IS SO simple
that many people who were expecting
a long process of legal technicalities
are surprised ut the ease with which
Il grange. can become Incorporated. TO
become Incorporated the grange should
first send written notice to every
member who is IN good standing that
at the next regular meeting the ques-
tion Of becoming incorporated will be
voted upon. If Il majority of the mem
bers present ut the regular meeting
vote aliirmatively on the proposition,
then those members voting in the at
imative should sign the incorporation
blanks in duplicate that is, two cop
les should lie made and signed exactly
alike These incorporation blanks can
be obtained from the master or sec
retary OF the state grange free of cost.
When the members of the grange sign
the Incorporation papers their acknowl-
edgment should be taken by notary
or justice Most oranges have such an
official among their members. but il
there is none then a Justice from out
side should be brought in to take the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, for which purpose a
recess may be taken, After members
voting in the affirmative have all
signed the incorporation papers one
copy is to be fled in the town clerk s
Office and the other one is filed away
with the other papers and records of
the grange. When the grange has
complied with these requirements it is

real and personal, TO buy, sell and
lease its property, 10 sue aud be sued

a Tribute to Mr.. Winaate.

Messrs Editors-Please allow me
space in your paper to say few
cOmmendatorv things about our
friend Mr.. Henry Wingate, who has
left us to take up his abode with the
angels 10 the life beyond. Il was
my fortune to be very closely asso-
ciated with him for two years as a
pupil, during which time we became
the closest OF friends, which friend
ship continued till his death very
recently.
AS teacher, | feel safe 10 saying,
he has no superior, and, very few,
if any, equals. He was ever willing
and ready to help those who cared
to learn. and was by all means, mo
rcspecter Of persons, but the poor
as we'll as the rich received the full
benefit Of his best and most earnest
efforts in their struggle for knowl
edge. His forte and success in
teaching, lay in his wonderful DOW
er to impart knowledge SO that it
could be easily grasped by the
young and untutored mind. As a
husband, he was kind, affectionate.
and loving; as friend, be was true.
steadfast. and loyal; aud as a MN.
he was honest, upright, and straight
forward. always having kind word
TO say for his less fortunate fellow
man, who had become a subject for
criticism and Islander. and iustilled
the highest and loftiest principles
in his students. His cheering words
in time of trouble or misfortune have
helped many young man in his ef-
forts to reach the topmost round
OF the ladder TO success and fame.
He believed in do your duty.
and worship God according to the
dictates of your conscience"
If he had enemies, it was as Lord
Tennyson says in 'The Idylls of the
King.
Never was noble man but made
ignoble talk"
His loss was q great blow to ST.
Mary.s County in general. as well
as to his closest friends.
He certainly deserves monument
which would show the appreciation
OF his interchangeable efforts to further
the education OF the young children
OF st. Mary's County for whom he
has labored SO many years.
