FITZGERALD GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 4; 1908
FADS OF sPENDTHRIFTs. !
One Man Who Ordered Dishes That
He Could Not Eat.


When people have more money
than they know what to do with
they sometimes develop a remarka-
Bile ingenuity in devising methods
Of squandering it, as in the case OF
the French marquise who has her
bed strewn with rare and exquisite
orchids, at cost of several thou
sand dollars a week.
Even more remarkable is the sto-
ry told of a wealthy Frenchmon
who dimes twice a week at famous
Partisan restaurant. His appetite is
the poorest, but he always insists
on having a tureen filled with spe-
cially prepared soup placed before
him. Next comes a huge joint Of
meat, from which he cuts one tiny
slice. Then follow four quails or
large chicken, Of which he eats one
mouthful. His dessert consists of
four grapes and a sup of coffee,
while during the meal he just
moistens his lips from a bottle of
expensive claret and another of the
finest champagne. At the conclu-
sion of each meal, for which he pays
$25, he hands So to the head waiter,
81 to the waiter who had attended
him, S. to the woman cashier and
81 to the porter.
A weird form of extravaganza
was that of woman named Hitler,
who buried her husband in a $780,
900 coffin. The coffin was made of
richly carved mahogany, with solid
gold trimmings ia single knob cost
ing $3.50 and lined with silk,
which is said to have cost rs cents
an inch. av

An Essential to Leadership.

The professor Of economics was
discoursing eloquently on the need
of leadership in all things, and from
the greatness of the leader he
plunged into a discussion of the es-
sentials to leadership. "And what," "
he exclaimed, ''is the great char
acteristic of all born leaders, the
first great essential to successful
leadership"
lie paused that the que ton and
its import might be fully appreci-
atcd. "What is it?" he asked again.
A small voice coming from the
rear Of the room answered cheerful
ly:
''Ready ability to satisfactorily
explain what the other fellow says
about youY'--Florida Times-Union.

EDITORIAL INK DROPS.

At a considerable labor and pains The Bee gives to its readers, this . week, the Report of Frank E. soule, . the accountant employed by the investi- gating committee to examine the ac- counts of the Newtown town officials. which was read at the adjourned town meeting, Tuesday. It should be read carefully by the tax payers, so that when they come to the adjourned meet ing, next Wednesday, all may be pre- pared to act intelligently and in a calm, unprejudiced manner. It is sad com mentary on the loose manner in which the public business has been conducted in the town, in years gone by. But the better management is already here. and these disclosures will result in a truing up to honest ideals all along tfe line. Every able bodied citizen of the town ought to be on hand, next We'd nesday, and there should be a full, free and dispassionate discussion. We also give the recommendations of the committee in full as read to Tuesdays meeting by Attorney Morris. The rec concentrations of the committee are in the main sensible and timely, but if the selectmen are to be censured 1t must be borne in mind that Charles E. Beers, Edgar c. Page and John F. l Heating must share with the present board of selectmen the smartings and heartburn which would come from a public fiagellation.

What the Tax payers of the Town of Newtown want to know: The amounts of money taken by each of our Town officials found short by expert account ant, and the amounts each one has paid into Town treasury to make up their shortage and the balance, if any, still due the Town. Also the amount of overcharges, if any, made by Town officials more than the law allowed, and if any part of said overcharges have been paid to Town Treasurer. They would also like to know the situ- ation regarding the property of c. H. Northrop deeded to the Town. It has been stated in Town meeting by Town Attorney that the Town was secured against loss by mortgage and attach ment. It is now rumored that the Town has a very small claim if any on the property through some error made by selectmen or their attorney, and it is no more than right that the Tax payers should know all the fact ts.- Frank A.
