Preparations had been previously

Executive Committee Stan.
dins Pat.

The county executive committee
is standing pat on its position taken
at the first meeting this year and
held to consistently. in favor of fair
and open elections. The resolution
adopted at the last meeting of the
committee against the use of auto
mobiles and other vehicles on the
day of election for the purpose of
transporting voters to and from the
polls has met with general approval
and it is hardly probable that any
candidate will take great chances by
permitting his friends to do pro-
misci)us business with automobile
or buggy on the day OF election. The
committeeman believe that it is not
only in the interest of fair elections
but protects the candidate against
being imposed upon by those who
are disposed to do so. A member
Of the committee was in to see US
yesterday and stated the he wished
TO have the committees position
well understood SO there would be
no trouble after the day of election.

B. E. Wilcox.

About noon Friday, B. E. Wilcox
breathed his last, and passed to the
great beyond, about which we know
soslittle and in which he expressed
the greatest hope and confidence.
He had been sick only a short
while and his death comes as a dis
tinct shock to this community and
a sad blow to his loving family.
About two weeks ago he went to
Telfair county for a rest, soon after
his case was diagnosed as pellagra,
which proved to be of a malignant
type and before his friends hardly
had the time to realize the serious
ness of his condition he was at
deaths door.
He was taken to the Piedmont
Sanitarium in Atlanta where the
best medical treatment failed of
even the slightest results.
The end came Friday about noon
and the body was Immediately pre-
pared for shipment to Fitzgerald,
where it arrived this morning at
four o'clock.
The funeral services conducted by
his late pastor, j. c. Flanders, was
attended by the Masons in body, at
the Central Methodist church in this
city, ten to twelve o'clock today,
after which the body was taken to
Ocilia for burial this afternoon.
Ras Wilcox was one of the best
1 known and most highly respected
mem i'm this part of Georgia Hewas
respected by even his enemies-he
had enemies, for he was very active
! in his opposition to the whiskey traf-
1 fiC, morality and 9rosser evils.
/ He had repeatedly represented his
county in the legislature and in the
1senate Bnt his greatest strength
consisted in his generosity. Ht
did not only give freely, often toe
freely, from his purse, but his whole
! life was influenced and controlled b!
the generous impulses of his bii
heart.
/ He leaves a mother, sister ant
brother and a most interesting fam
l lily OF bright and loving boys ant
girls.
We have lost a good friend ant
Georgia a good citizen.

American WOman'S League,

The Carpenter Chapter of Fitz-
gerald. at its last business meeting
on July 26. decided to make careful
canvass of the entire city, calling on
every one and inquiring what pub
LEGATIONS are taken and when the
subscriptions expire.
The Chapter hopes to secure be-
tween now and September LIST a
complete card index record of every
publication subscribed for in this
city whether Glass "A" or Class b,
the name and address OF tie sub
scriber and the expiration dates OF
the subscriptions.
A committee from the members
of the Chapter will attend to this
work at once, and if our citizens
will cooperate with this committee
by giving them the desired informa-
ton. and also their renewals, it will
be the means of building, within a
reasonable time, a BEAUTIFUL club
house for FITZGERALD without costing
them any more for their papers and
magazines.
Help the committee with your re-
newals and with the information
desired in the subscription census.
The League ought to secure every
dollar of subscription money sent
out of the city.
The local chapter has allotted to
them only 20 of the remaining va
cancies in the Founders Chapter.
These can be secured by any new
applicants who will give in their
names at once. Only one dollar with
the application, and an average of
one dollar per week for So weeks
will secure a reservation.
