Our Mail Facilities,

The people Of Fitzgerald and
other sections between Cordele and
Waycross, have been fortunate in
the matter of early mails. The
schedules of the trains from Allan
ia and connections makeit possible
to receive the Atlanta and Macon
morning papers at $40 a. M, but
of late the constant failure to con-
meet has become exasperating.
More than than half the time the
morning papers reach here in the
afternoon, and with them, of course,
All important part of the northern
mail is always delayed.

The city council went On record
again yesterday on the near-beer
question.
At d meeting called for the pur:
pose, the restrictions combining the
sale of near beer to the old saloon

council by d vote of seven, j. NJ.

ing in the negative. The cnnneii
Committed itself to the proposition
to permit the sale in any part of
the city.
There were four licenses issued
to parties on E Pine street, and
since the new order two additional
licenses have been granted.
There is a general belief that the
legislature will prohibit the sale;
S; - six Fitzgeald dealers will feel

A TWenty-DoIIar Bill.

A friend presented us with a

Mr.. I. T. Stephens, who reads

hearted donor of the twenty. He
had a handful, some twenties, some

They were all plainly marked

Mr.. Stephens declares the money
has one Superior quaIity-the only
thing of the kind that would ever

CARACAS, Dec 15.-The spark kindIed
by the news Of the capture OF the
Venzuelan coast guard ship Alexis by
the Dutch cruiser Gelderland blazed into
a flame today and the morning was
marked by bOisterOus demonstrations
on the part OF students. workingmen
and even the Weather classes.
The situation proves beyOnd the
shadow of a doubt that the attitude Of
the citizens toward President Castro
and Senor Gomez is vigorously hostile
and this feeling crystallized when the
Office Of El Constitutional, an organ OF
President Castro, was raided BY a crowd
OF the pOpulace and a mob Of students.
In the free-for-all that en~Ied between
the employees OF the paper and the
surging crowd stones and other missiles
were hurled freely. and when shots
were fired several men were wounded.
one Of whom died this morning. The
crowd was dispersed only by the inter

President Roosevelt, in a special
message on the Panama canal pur-
chase transaction, sent to the two
houses of Congress today, hurled
the lie direct at the persons who
have charged, or are charging, that
there was corrupt action or queS-
tionable transactions by this Gov
ernment, or on the part Of high Off
cialS in connection with the acquisi-
ton of the title to the Panama
canal.
Congress is no stranger to hear
ing the swish of the Big Stick; to
listening to that formidable weapon
as it beats a tattoo on the roof of
the Capitol.
Many times has the President
taken this weapon down from its
resting place, carved new knobs and
nOtC1eS on It, and then proceeded to
belabor Congress with it.
But on this occasion the President
struck out at those who have been
calling into question the honesty
and integrity of the Panama canal
purchase, so far as this Govern
ment is concerned, with more than
usual force.
RAPS PULITZER FIRST.
Right at the outset Of his message
today. the President seized Joseph
Pulitzer, editor and proprietor Of the
New York World. and set him down
bodily In the ranks of the Ananias Club.
He paid his respects once more briefly
to Delavan Smith. Of the Indianapolis
News The Foulke letter, In which al
one and the same time the hides of Mr.
Smith and Mr.. Laffan. Of the New
York Sun. are tanned, is reproduced as
an aodedum TO the message, and de-
tailed defense Of the purchase OF the
canal is made.
Mr.. Roosevelt after outlining the story
canal, that there were improper dealings
between agents Of the Government OF
the United States and outside persons
acting for an American syndicate, in
Guiding Charles p. Taft and Douglas
Robinson. declares that stories of thiz
Kind consist simply "of a string OF in
famous libels." He declares they are in
part lbels on individuals and, in fact
wholly, in form partly. a libel on the
United States Government. He singles
out Joseph Pulitzer as the real offender,
and says he should be prosecuted for
libel by the Government authorities.
That Attorney General Bonaparte
has under consideration the form in
which the libel proceeding against Mr..
Pulitzer shall be brought is asserted by
the President
SAMPLE EPITHETS.
Lying 'UbeIous," "wantonly.'
'wickedly,'' ''infamy," "iniQuity," are
a few samples OF the Presidents vocabu-
larry In giving vent to his feelings or
the subject in hand.
The wickedness Of the ISLANDERS is
only surpassed by their fatuity," is on.
sentence by the President.
Not the least interesting part Of the
Presidents message is his statement
that the purchase or the canal was en-
urely arranged under Jne Department
