FABRITIs UP AGAIN
ITALIAN ARRESTED IN SELMA BY
 GOVERNMENT,

 Over te tAe Grsnd Jury.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma, Feb. is.
 A. D. Frahitis, the well known Itai- fan fruit dealer. was arrested this morning by United States Marshal c. B Deans Of Mobile. on . warrant charging him with violating the in- ternal revenue law. He was taken be- fore United States Commission l. D. Lloyd who released him after he had made $100 bond to appear before the next Federal grand jury.
 The warrant against Fabritis was sworn out by ". F. Nabors an internal revenue inspector, who alleges that he sold liquor without license.
 The warrant upon which Fabritis was arrested grew out Of the trouble which he had here during December when he was arrested by the city one Sum day night for running q blind tig- er'' at his place of business on Broad street. The Italian was arrested upon several charges and was convicted and put to work upon the sureat and serv- ed something over week when Nay , or Atkins took pity on him and he was released.
 While Fabritis was workin on the streets the Federal grand jury was in session here and that body took up the investigation of charges against the Italian. After the grand jury ad- journed. 1t was stated they also bar taken pity upon the man and had not returned an indictment against him believing that he had been sufficiently punished. In fact, it is understood that the officials of the, court asked that no indictment should be returned.
 Fabritis and his friends thought the matter had for ell times been disposed of when the United States grand jury failed to indict and they were sur prised this morning when Mir. Deans served the warrant upon the Italian.
 Fabritis quickly made the bond and will answer to the charge before the next grand jury when that body con- venes here.

The Joe Brown Buttons and the Negro.

Inc joe DTOMH DuttOnS dHu LuG NGYIUs
There is evidence of considerable irritation in
the Joe Brown camp anent the Joe Brown button
on the coat front or galus of the negro.
Lets see what there is to it..
It's no joke.
Some of the buttons have fallen into the
hands of negroes and they are wearing them.
And governor Hoke Smith is responsible for
it. Moths friends Butthe governor who took pthe
QUESTION OF THE RIGHT OF THE WHITE
MEN OF GEORGIA TO CONTROL THE STATE
GOVERNMENT AFTER THE ISSUE HAD
MET DEFEAT IN THE LEGISLATURE ONLY
A FEW MONTHS BEFORE AND CARRIED
1T TO A SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION.
ALL HONOR TO HIM.
His broad intellect his wonderful energy and
powerful personal strength is responsible for it.
Let's give him the credit for it is doubtful if any
other man in Georgia could have accomplished it.
No man of sense believes and no decent man
will believe that Mr. Smith or his friends furnish
the buttons to the negroes
And
Nobody but fool will blame the negro for
wearing the buttons, their hope for suffrage is
centered in the candidate and men who oppose the
governors reelection.
And they have a reason for the hope!
They know that the vets have always used
them to great advantage at the ballot box and
they reason with good reasons), that they need
them yet.
Don't blame the poor negro.
Blame Hoke Smith.
p. S. If Hoke is not entitled to all the blame,
then 'Ittle Joe Brown is the man to share it
with him. for the cute little rascal has never said
word to dsabuse the minds of the negroes of the
hope that he will stand by them in their effort to
keep hand on the ballot box.

Tears and LOVe-LOVe and Tears.

CLEARS and love for the blue. Love and tears
for the Gray" That was the spirit of feeling
that surged thru the hearts of the people OF FltZ
gerald Sunday. No where else on earth, perhaps,
was the feeling more evident than here. Here in
the midst of the south's fixed day of Memorial to
her departed sons we found the werers of the blue
lined up shoulder to shoulder with their one time
foes; paying respect-heartfelt, honest, noble, re-
spect to the memory of the departed. And so it
goes all over the land but not more so than here
where the "yankees'' have found home and "the
confederate has given welcome. The years
that have passed. since the strife, has eased the
pain of the wounds and the hearts are right and
only the old scars remain.
No one appreciates this more than the Gold
soldiers" Of both Sides To them the interest is
keenest and twas they who first forgaVe and first
forgot. The ones who stood in the thickest of the
fray and survived the awful rain of shot and SHE'LL
were the first, when the battle closed and the
smoke cleared away, to meet and forgive-tor
they knew that it had been men of one flesh and
one blood striving to settle question that prOba
bly, conld not have been settled in any other way.
Editor Seeley, of the Georgian, God bless him,
we would not do him an injustice, has apparently
fallen victim to the rivalry between his paper and
the Atlanta Journal. He is doing Hoke Smith
more harm than any other in Georgia, altho
he assumes a neutral attitude. Whatever may be
Editor Seeleys motives, there are large numbers Of
people who will believe that his attitude has been
influenced by this spirit of rivalry between the two
papers mentioned.

Barrels of apples taken from the trees last summer
are as fresh and free from rot and speck the day
after gathered. Oranges with the half green
color and fresh delightful flavor are on the market
in all parts of the country, but the Georgia peach
and watermelon we have only in season.

Browns Chances, Always Slim, Are Steadily
Waning.
The predicted is happening.

The predicted is happening.
When Joe Brown made his announcement
this paper was among the first to say that it was
more of joke than anything else.
Joe Browns announcement has been joke
First OF all it created furry. The forces
that opposed Hoke Smith before came out with
,cler'c" :ces and from housetop mountain top
! other conspicuous places began their shouting.
They made whole lot of nOise-like a pack of
school boys with brass kettles and tin pans on
frolic; but there wasn't anything to it except
noise-hOt air and villfcatiOn.
And Joe's chances always slim began to wane.
They started in to abuse Hoke Smith for caus
ing the panic but they found out in the course ola
week that they couldn't cover up their motives
and fool the people with such msy cry. The
people of Georgia refused to be fooled. The
Brown campaign managers spent lot of amuni-
tion shooting out their missels but they couldn't
aim straght-were up in the air. so to speak
And Joe's chances always slim, went on
waning.
Then they tried to bambooze the voters into
thinking that they could hide their scheme to cap
ture the state by declaring that whiskey (their
pet-their love- was not an issue. Again they
spent their ammunition hopelessy for the people of
Georgia once more refused to be fooled. The
Brown hackers scratched their heads and began to
think up some new scheme whereby they might
fool the people-for Joe's chances, always slim,
kept on waning
Then they told Mr. Brown he might write a
compromising card saying he would veto any
measure pertaining to change in the prohibition
law; but that didn't fool the people-for they saw
thru the trick and refused to be fooled into be-
eving he was sincere and refused to forget that his
platform said 1T Will Sign the BilP'-and Joe's
chances, always slim, waned rapidly
Today the campaign has almost come to
standstill. The managers of Browns campaign
are hopelessly respondent. They KNOW that
SMITH WILL BE ELECTED by an overwhelm-
ing majority and any effort on their part cannot
stop the onrushing tide of sentiment that is chang
ing every day, not a few, but hundreds and thou
sands of votes from the Brown side to the Smith
column.
The Smith people in the state have never
been discouraged and there is unbounded joy in
that camp today.
You can't fool reading thinking, sober peo-
pie any of the time and the fruitess efforts of the
whiskey people in trying to foist upon Georgia a
plan to gain control of the state is an evidence of
the stability of the people of the Empire State of
the South"
