Speaks Highly
of Our School.
Prof. J. A. Stewart, of State
University visited Fitzger-
aid Schools Monday.

Professor J. A. Stewart, of Ath
ems, who is state agent for the
state University, visited the city
schools yesterday. 1t is the bust
ness of the professor to visit all
the schools in the state which are
co -related schools and Fitzgerald
schools come under that head.
In fact Fitzgerald high school
pupils enter the state University
without an examination and those
that have been enrolled On the
University roster stand high and
are making a splendid record.
Prof. Stewart talked to the pu
pills in each of the rooms but devot-
ed more time to the primary de-
partment than any other. He ex-
pressed himself as highly pleased
with the curriculum and methods
and. results in our city schools,
which is a high compliment.

Temperance Sunday.

Next Sunday, March, 20 is the
Sunday observed by all Sunday
Schools as Temperance Sunday.
Prohibitionists all over the
United States have decided to
make the week, this week, which
closes with March %, a week of
tremendous effort to meet the false
hoods that liquor interests are
sending out thru the country.
The liquor traffic is driven out
into the open and is making such
a fight for its life as it never was
obliged to make before. 1t is prob
ably no exaggeration to say that,
if the liquor dealers propaganda
needs hundred million dollars
with which to fight the prohibi-
ton movement, it can have the
money during the next twelve
months.
The whole country is Hooded
with the traffic's falseho0ds. One
is in extracts from the census re-
ports from Kansas, which is being
used by the liquor interests to dis
credit the prohibition system in
that state. Kansas is credited
with 1872 prisoners to every humid
red thousand of population. But
new light is thrown on this
statement, when upon investigation
it was shown tina t the census fig
ures have included eleven hundred
United States prisoners in the
penitentiary at Leavenworth and
some four hundred prisoners who
belong to Oklahoma and are i'm
prisoned in the Kansas peniten-
tiary as a matter Of convenience.
This is only one of the misrepresen-
tations the liquor men are sending
out.
All ministers are requested to
set aside at least one sermon for
temperance next Sunday.

Card of Thanks.

To My Friends and Fellow Citi.
zens;-
desire to express to kou my
profound appreciation OF Your eff.
fective support of me in my recent
campaign for the nomination as
Representative of Ben Hill county.
To be thus honored by the people
of the county where I have lived
all my life produces in me feeling
which is a compound of gratitude,
pride, and humility and which /
can but very inadequately express
by the use of words. / under.
stand fully that l have been hon
ored more than / can yet realize.
1t is never possible to realize
the ideal in actual life, and during
the thick of battle one can not re-
strain his personal feelings. In
politics as in every other phase of
human activity the limitations of
the finite.are made apparent, strug-
gle against it as we may. ] desire
to say, however, that in the re-
cent campaign I was affected with
as little personal feelings as could
have hoped for I wish to add in
positive terms that as the repre-
sentative Of thepeople of this cOun-
ty I shall have none. have no
friends to reward at the expense
of the whole county, no enemies
at all to punish by an official pol.
icy. In my work as representa-
tive | shall at all times endeavor
to be the servant of the whole peo-
pie of the county in their endeavor
to accomplish that which will re.
bound to their highest good. This
[ conceive to be the correct func-
ton of Representative. Partic-
ularly will I be guided by the
wishes of the people in all local
legislation. In such matters espec.
tally should the opinion of the
whole people guide the legislator
rather than his own personal
whims and fancies. In this coun'
ty do my people live, and here is
my property located. My interest
is identical with the interest of the
community. In whatever manner
T can better the interest of the
whole people can | subserve my
own interest. In a large sense
there is no real conflict in the in
terests of men; to the extent that
we serve others do we serve our
selves. Thus is it true that 1--WE
get by giving and keep only what
we throw away"
At present I am most sensitive
of an ever-present and intense
longing to prove faithful to the
trust reposed in me. All the man
hood in me calls on me to prove
worthy Of the honor conferred up
on me. In an effort, at least,
shall not be disobedienttot the call.
Faithfully yours,
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1908-03-24

More than the usual number of
drunken men were in Fitzgerald
Saturday night, but they were, as
usual, not tolerated, for the police
rounded them up quickly. Mon
day morning they were fined $500
each and one was placed under
bonds. Fitzgerald is not a good
place for drunkards to stop in. 1t
prides itself ON its morality and
officers of the law are vigilant in
their efforts to keep the tone up to
the point.

Fiftieth Marriage Anniver-
Sary.
1858---1908.

On March %, 1868 in a village
in Ohio, James Simpson and Miss
Snyder plighted their troth. For
half a century they have gone
hand in hand for Ebetter or worse.
Their children, ten in number,
with one exception, have gone out
into homes of their own while the
aging couple have felt the bonds
of comradship growing closer and
dearer.
Yesterday a number of friends
congregated at their home in the
northeast part of the city and
helped them celebrate their golden
wedding. A bounteous dinner was
a part of the reception accorded
the wedding guests.
After the dinner Mrs. A. Kratz,
daughter, called the bride to
one side and clothed her in new
silver gray silk dress, all unexpect-
ed to the bridal couple, while gold
coins in no denomination less than
S., bank checks, and post office
orders, from distant children and
relatives in Kansas, followed suit.
On account of sickness others
were prevented from being present
in body.
Mr.. and Mrs. Simpson, who
came here from Kansas in early
colony days, have won the esteem
and respect of a large circle OF
friends who wish them many re-
turns of their wedding anniversary.
