ct Because it Was Late.

BOISE, Idaho. Sept. 2s.-The
Hearst independence ticket, headed
by T. W. Johnson of Boise for cover
nor, recently nominated at Troy. was
last evening refused filing by .Secre-
tary OF State Lansdon, because 1t was
offered 80 minutes late. Yesterday
was the last day for the filing of
tickets.
Lansdon has a rule that no filing
be receied after p. m. and although
the Office was open the secretary
declined to file the ticket because 1t
was not offered until 1870.
The independence men are furious
and threaten to take the matter in
to court. The republican managers
are pleased with Lansdon's action, as
they feared the independence vote
would be a serious factor against
them. especially in view of the pros
poets of close vote.
Lansdon stil Refuses.
Secretary of State Lansdon was
again approached today by represen-
tatives of the Independence party
with the view OF having the ticket
filed. but again refused. The seere-
tary of state gave as a rason for re-
fusing the ticket to be filed that yes

It is as follows and reflects very accurately the meas ure of certain men to be found usually in most communities:
 If your neighbor is prosperous, don't grunt, srowl or grumble. Say a good word for him. DON'T BE 4 KNOCKER.
 If you see the town is moving along nicely, feel good about it. Help things along. Shove little. Push. Do a lit tie hustling yourself DON'T BE. X KNOCKER.
 If you can say a good word say it. If you are disposed to say something mean. keep your mouth shut. DON'T BE A KNOCKER.
 No man ever got rich or happy minding everybody's business but his own No man ever climbed up per manently by knocking his neighbors { down. DON'T BE X KNOCKER.
 If you must kick, go around behind the barn and take a good kick at yourself For, if you feel that way, you're the man that needs kicking. But whatever you do. DON'T BE \ KNOCKER.
 If there is a chance to boom bIsi- ness. boom it. DON'T BE \ KNOCK FER.

Betting on Elections.

The Dawson News asks, "Why
is it criminal to bet on cards and
all right to bet on electOn?" Don't
know, unless it is because one is
done openly and the other private
ly.-Hawkinsville Dispatch and
News.
The law, at least the Georgia
law is against "gaming" and not
against "betting," says the Fitz-
gerald Enterprise. There is re-
cent law against "betting" or pool
selling on races. There has never
been law in Georgia against
''betting." However, under the
Georgia law, the collection OF
money bet cannot be enforced.
In some states betting on cleo
tons is a crime. A writer in the
New York Herald says gambling
is forbidden by the constitution.
Then he says betting is gambling,
but the constitution does not say
SC and IChmbers' dictionary does
not say so.
The dictionary says gambling is
ito play for money in games OF
chance or skill; to engage in wild
financial speculation" Taking that
definition, the Stock Exchange and
the Corn Exchange are colossal
gambling bells.
The constitution, some of the
New York sports think, would be
complied with if the legislation
should forbid gambling houses and
gambling as defined in the diction-
airy and leave the racetracks and
the Stock Exchange alone.

IL miles of s. 10 and 12.inch
sewer, with about so flush
tanks and 80 or 80 man-hoeS
all ready for connections $4,000
Making a total of about $67, 200.
The plans made by Mr. Jaudon please all who
have inspected them. They are in full detail and
neatly drawn, after careful topographic survey,
and we are of the opinion that they are about
right
The disposal station Cor septic tank is on the
most modern and approved system.
The old plan of dumping a citys sewage into
the streams without septic treatment, is being
abandoned and in some states prohibited by law
Every man who cares for the future of Fitz-
gerald should make it his duty to see if possible
to get all absolutely unanimous vote for sewer and
school bonds.
The CITY council of Ocilla has fixed the license
for the sale of "near beer'' at $4,000 per annum.
We commend this action. Let the stuff be barred
from every county in the state. The child that
acouires taste for Enear beer" will soon be de-
handing the real article and will take no substi
tute. Nobody knows this better than the brewer.
With a court house and Jail building, d sewer
system being laid school building going up,
$780, 900 carshed and station in course Of construc
ton, force of six hundred men on the payroll at
the railroad shops, street railway being con
structed and our warehouses taking care of a II
cent cotton crop, Fitzgerald will be independent
of any particular brand of prosperity the coming
winter.
While Atlanta, Macon, Dublin and other
cities in Georgia are broadening their territorial
skirts, and getting ready to receive the census
taker in 1910, some of Fitzgerald's short-sghted
citizens want to put the contest and fastest grow
ing city in the state back in short frocks. The
census of 1900 places the population of Fitzgerald
at 1917 If the charter is amended at all, let the
CITY limits be extended so as to incorporate May
vile, the A. B. & A. railway shops and the Fitz-
gerald cotton mills and other adjacent territory
that properly belongs within the city. No great
citv has ever been built selfish, narrow policies
It is generally conceded abroad that Fitzgerald is
a CITY of from seven to ten thousand population.
DON'T let the census of 1910 tell different story.
Don't be a pessimist.
