Passed Some Poor Specimens Of Bill
Raising Saturday Night.
THEY CONFESS THEIR CRIME

Sam TiIIman Claims Ne Did the Job
and Wanted 10 Land in the Federal
Prison-Rslsed the Two Bills Near
Paradise Sunday Morning.
From Tuesdays Daily Sun:
About the poorest specimen OF bill.
raising ever exhibited was passed ON
here late Saturday night, and the
self-confessed criminals are now
languishing behind the prison bars.
due to the efficient work OF Marshal
Arrow and r. d. Bostick OF the Coast
Line.
The oarshal's attention was called
to the matter when Lum Brown was
presented with one of the bills IN
payment for some beef purchased by
an innocent party who was a victim.
in that the bill had cost him $3.50 OF
good money besides 80 cents In trade.
There were only two OF the bills
passed here. one on McIendon az the
depot and one on John Cowan OF West
Liberty street. both colored.
After chasing the negroes around
the city Saturday night the marshal
and Mr. Bostick decided they would
visit the depot on Sunday afternoon.
when they were rewarded by finding
the location OF their game" who
were In a hot skin" game near the
G. and c. depot. This was broken up
before the officers arrived there, but
from evidence obtained they learned
Of the route the men had gone and
wired Deputy Kennard to apprehend
them at Waldo. which he did. secur-
ing their working apparatus and bring
ing them back 60 this city.
Their outfit consisted OF stencils
from which they could make -, $40
and $40 bills. small bottle OF white
lead. a mucilage brush. green and vel.

silver money upon their persons when
arrested. AZ
The negroes confessed that they
were Jim Bonam OF Daytona and Sam
Tillman OF Thomasyllle. Tillman
claims that he had only recently en-.
listed Sam with Dim. and that he
wanted 70 break IN the Federal prison.
which was the direct cause Of hls
tampering with the money In this
manner. When the officers were
questioning him regarding the matter
he said; you all need not 80 AZ Il

Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1908-12-31
A Christmas Eve J0K

Of all the queer pranks of me-
ry old st. Nicholas on Christina
Eve night, none was, perhaps
more astonishing than the one
played on a certain young man on
lower South main street. Although
this particular young man had ex
pressed desire to have Santa
Claus bring him goat and wag
on, he was totally unprepared for
tle well directed attack made
on his bed post in the early hours
of the gray dawn, resembling in
violence small earthquake.
He awoke with start, but seeing
nothing, turned over and was soon
drifting into q delicious slumber
when the attact was repeated ac-
companied this time by a loud and
indignant bleat.
The new OutburSt brought the
desired effect, and the much as tom
ished recipient was Immediately
on his feet, rubbing his eyes to
make sure that it was not an ap-
partition that greeted his gaze in
the uncertain light of Christmas
morn. His goatship poised himself
for new attack with q vigor that
assured his new owner that it was
no phantom nor mechanical toy
tied to his bed post, and in q re-
markably short space of time he
was up and dressed, and was eau
tiously leading his RESTLESS, but
tractable possession down stairs.
Here set of shining harness and a
wagon awaited him and immediate-
ly the fruits, candies, gewgaws and
other appropriate reminder paled
into insigniffcance, and Master j.
l.. Pittman vas out for morning
spin, beautifully and indescribab-
ly happy.

A Kind Letter From Mr..
EISea.

Lithopolis, Ohio, Dec. %. 1908.
Friend j. +. Mercer: l presume
you are still wandering why l have
not sent the money for the Enter
prise, well it is just this, the old
man is getting near end of this life
and his strength is not sufficient for
his condition. So the result is that
l am so worn out when l do think
Of it l can't get the ambition to do
it. Many and many atime did it
come to my mind when away from
the house, and you know the rest,
but as wife and self aud mother
elderly friends expected to start
today to spend the winter in Sum
ny South Florida, somewhere. I
had to force myself to comply with
a righteous duty and remit the
necessary 50 to pay for thepresent
year 1908, but do not send it any
more after this. We hope to stop
on our return to Fitzgerald andsee
some of the friends. We did not
go today on account of my being
sick and will be two or three days
before I am able for the trip. Yes
I shall be glad if able to go then.
With best wishes to all the deserv-
ing, | am truly, G. r. Elsea.

The New Daily to he established
at Fitzgerald in the early new year
will have one strong factor at least,
that argues much for its success,
and that is the fact that our old
friend, John Greer, wiz direct its
policy. He made a fine paper of
the Waycross Journal, and we are
sure he will make the new daily in

A Fitzgerald Product.

The following letter relative to a
Fitzgerald product will be read
with interest by some of our bust
ness men. The Hansen sand lime
brick are absolutely success, but
as yet builders have notgiven them
the recognition they deserve.

CATAsAQUA, Pa, Dec. 2, 1905.
Hansen Sand Lime Brick Compan!
Fitzgerald, Ga.
Gentlemen; Attention of Mr. +.
j. Hansen) We are pleased to ;td-
wise you that we received three
bricks which you consigned to rs
recently. We have made somee :
tensive tests Oh these bricks Ill o.
der to find out what their con-
pressive strength was and alo
what absorption properties they
had.
We first of all placed jar l-3 s
in diameter on each brick. This
lar was full of water. At the end
of twenty four hours wefOund that
each brick had absorbed one.Ounce
of water. The bricks weigh five
pounds each so that this shows an
absorption of 1-1-5% which is
very low. After this we Immersed
the bricks in water and left them
in the tank one hour. At the crd
of this time we found that the red
brick had absorbed five ounces and
the white brick had absorbed TIN ee
ounces which means that the red
brick absorbed six per cent of It's
weightof water and the white bri ok
absorbed only about 8-1-2 perez Mt
of it's weight of water.
When we were making this ;tb
sorption test we took the brown
brick deWn to our testing plant
and put it under our hydraulic
testing press in order to see just
how much pressure this brick would
stand before it failed. We subjected
this brick to a gradually increasing
hydraulic pressure and found that
it did not fail until it had been
subjected to q load of60 tons which
means that each square inch Of
brick was subjected to pressure
of 5000 pounds. This shows that
you are making very good grade
of brick.
We think it possible that you
could make the brick still better
if you would use slightly larger
of pulverized sand in
your mixture. Ifpossfble we would
like to have you send few more
os your bricks to our works and
we will test them free Ofcharge and
give you the results of our deter
Trusting this to be satisfactory,
we are, Yours very truly,

surance companies base these

surance companies base these pre-
miums on the Eldridge books. If
Eldridge sends out a circular stating
that a certain town is dangerous be-
cause it's fire protection is bad, and
recommends certain horizontal in
crease in premiums, the companies
make the increase.
A few fire insurance companies
have come clear in the present suit
by Withdrawing from the Eldridge
bureau, while others have been let
out on a showing that they do not
use the Eldridge books.
1t is expected that investigations of
a similar nature will be conducted in
numerous other towns in the state.

ecutfon of the insurance trust to the
limit, and will be assisted in taking
dispositions by John s. Dawson of

GLEE CLUB CONTEST.
Will Be Big Crowd to Hear wash
burn and X. U. Singers Tonight.

The Washburn-K. U. Glee club con-
test at the Auditorium tonight will be
the best patronized musical event
which has been heard in the Auditor
ium this season. The girl students of
the college and high school have been
busy for several days selling tickets in
a contest for a ladies' gold watch. One
young lady from Washington spent the
entire day yesterday on the streets sell
ing tickets and had sold nearly two
hundred up to last night. She cut her
classes again today and will doubtless
have sold a great many more by to-
night. Other girls of the college are
