Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1908-05-26


MAN.
Hon. Thos. f. Watson seems to have become
assistant editor of all the railroad organs and
ring papers in the state. From the Macon
Telegraph on down the line his stuff is placed
next to the editorials, top of the columns
Augusta Herald
Yes and one of the worst pen lashings ever
given an editor was that of Thomas E. Watsons
which was aimed at the Macon Telegraph and
now the same scathed paper is reprinting Watson's
editorials Truly politics makes strange bedtel-
lows.
'eIn the mines of Akatu, in central Siberia,
there is a beautiful girl of twenty-five serving a
sentence of twenty years at hard labor" says
Kellogg Durland author of ''The Red Reign"
who has spent much time during the last year OF
two in Russia and in the June Woman's Home
Companion the author then proceeds to tell the
marvellous pathetic story of Marie Spiradonova,
who was condemned to die fora political crime,
bnt whose sentence was finally altered to twenty
years hard labor in exile, owing to the popular
clamor for the girls life all over the world"
The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail
road is to be commended upon the manner in
which if operates it's trains To say the least eve
nv effort is put forth on the part of the roads man
agement to make its passengers comfortable; o.
stacles have been met and overcome and though
the road is new one it's service is ranking way
above that of some of the older roads.
The same service that governs the regular
trains governs whatever excursions 1T handles ana
the new excursion trains that will operate each
Sunday, after June Z, from Fitzgerald to Bruins
wick. will be manned and complemented the same
as the daily trains assuring service both adequate
and comfortable
There are a whole lot of exaggerated reports
going out over the state that Fitzgerald is fever
striken We heard in Atlanta that there were IL
cases at the present time and that great number
had died from the disease, OF course we who live
here know these stories false and started In the
first place by people who are jealous of Fitzgerads
rapid strides commercially and otherwise or by
people who are careless of telling the truth.
search of the records of the city health de-
partment shows that up to Saturday night, May
%, there had been within the city but fourteen
cases of fever of all kinds since January first and
there is not another city in South Georgia the size
of Fitzgerald that can begin to compare with her
for healthfulness
1t is the duty of every resident to tamlllarlze
himself or herself as to facts concerning anything
that deals with the city as whole before giving
out statements and when report is heard that is
detrimental to the interests of the city it is duty
each citizen owes to refute it and in no unmstak
able language in other words pull for Fitzgerald
or pull out.
AS a sample of the unfair methods adopted in
treating the present gubernatoral candidates the
report of the Waycross meeting in the Macon Tele
graph covers the case. Mr.. Hutchlns, OF Cedar
town. spoke in the interest of Mr.. Blown at the
same hour Hon. Robert l.. Berner spoke for Mr..
Smith.
The Brown meeting was held in a park ill the
center of the city While the Hoke Smith meet
ing was held in the court house remote from the
center of the city Naturally the people in the
park had the advantage of the people in the court
house as to location and also had the assistance of
the Fitzgerald Band to attract attentin
But they did not have the crowd; certainly
not more than hundred white voters, while Mr..
Burner had two or the times many and one of
the most representative crowds that has heard any
speaker during the campaign
Col Berner's speech was notable one one of
the best that has ever been delivered in this or
any other state and the enthusiasm he aroused
guarantees that Ware County will be in the Hoke
Smith Column on June 4th.
