CONN UNICATiON

Fitzgerald, Ga, Sept l. 1908
Dear Editor of Fitzgerald Enter
prise:
There has been quite a lot
of talk about starting an old ladies
home for those who are dependent
on the charity of other people, yet
no one has pushed the matter into
action. The amount it takes to
keep one person, while alone would
keep two or three if all cook and
eat together, see? So if the men
folks will furnish one story build
ing, we women folks will see that
the rooms will be furnished with
bedding &c, then the city at large
can supply the eatables and cloth
ing or each church raise or help
raise the required fund for food and
clothing. Please publish this in
the weekly Enterprise and oblige,
The Helpless Old Ladies.

Will Probably.
Deposit Funds
In This State Again, Is
Said of the Southern
Railroad Co.

Atlanta, Ga. Sept. SIT isreport-
cd that the Soutern Railway will
probably in the near future bring
its bank deposits back to Georgia,
even though the Legislature at it's
regular session failed, on account
Of the press of other business, to
amend the state punishment laws.
1t was the fact that these laws per
mitted the funds of the railroad com
pany to be tied up by litigation,
without reason or necessity that led
the compay to take it's money out
of Georgia.
Although the law has not been
amended, it is not believd, in the
face of overwhelming public senti-
ment against it, that the railroad
company would be seriously moles-
ted should it bring its funds back.

has so much money on hand that
he can not wait for the construction
of new vaults in the treasury build
ing, but has rented storage vaults
in the Union Trust building and
placed relays of armed guards both
inside and outside of the banking
offices, to protect the Millions of
dollars awaiting the call of emer-
gency that may never materialize.
There are 6, 824 national banking
institutions in the United States
and the provisions of the emergency
currency law make it imperative on
the secretary of the treasury and
the comptroller of the currency to
prepare emergency currency of
stated denominations and in
amounts equal to the proportion,
ate allotment thateach bank would
be entitled to in the event of an
emergency, and to have it always
ON hand, so that the cash may be
shipped Immediately on the appro-
val of the col lateral sent from the
bank or clearing house association.
Deputy Treasurer Rentz reports

New York banks have millions and

a year ago they were struggling
with scarcely the legal require

in great demand at high rates, is
very easy on call at "a to J. per

well supplied with currency and
will be able to do more than their
usual share in moving crops. From
every direction signs of recovery,
of improvement and better times
are at hand.N

Business Mems
League Work.
Is Bringing Forth Much
Good Fruit.

That advertising pays is eVg.
denced by the fact that already the
stationery used by the Business
Mems League has attracted a good
deal of attention, and the general
plan of their advertising campaign
when set in motion, which will be
as soon as possible, is going to work
much good for Fitzgerald.
Secretary Northup states that
he is receiving inquiries from all
parts of the country already in
reference to various lines of bust
ness and that the advertising has
been the cause for these inquiries.
That banner that spreads across
the street of the League headquar-
tiers will be restretched so that the
wind cannot twist it out of shape,
as has been done heretofore
This banner, when hung properly,
is easily read from the car windows
when trains are running thru the
city and is, as we'll, quick guide
to strangers coming into the city
and who wish to inquire about ho'
tells, boarding houses, and to be in
formed on other subjects.
The show rooms are putting on
a lively appearance as several
farmers have responded to the call
of the League for specimen of their
products to be put on DISPLAY
there. This week Mr.. J. B. Butts,
who has farm two miles north OF
the postoffice, brot in several stalks
of corn about II feet high and
bearing several ears of corn to the
stalk. He also left couple of fine
squash, some peanuts, Japanese
chestnuts and other farm truck.
Other farmers have stated their
intention of bringing in specimens
and very soon the room will be well
worth visiting just for the sight OF
the display of the possibilities of
Ben Hill farms.
