Dramatizing a popular novel re-
suits either in a marked success
or pronounced failure according to
the merits of the dramatist and
the spirit in which he approaches
his work. Some masters of tech
nique regard the book merely as
an inspiration and disregarding
the sentiments of the author, place
their own valuation upon character
and influences with the result that
play is produced which antagos
nizes the admirers of the novel.

There Was a ReOSOn.

Jesse Mercer, after an absence
of a year from the editorial field
has revived the Fitzgerald Enter
prise, which was succeeded by the
Fitzgerald News, an afternoon dali
ly. In his opening announcement
he says that despite the fact that
some of the best business talent in
the state was at the helm of the
News, it lived only a year and lost
ten thousand dollars. There's a
reason. -WaycrOss Evening Herald.

FITZGERALD SHOULD
HAVE A Y. N. c. A.

A movement was started last
year in fitzgerald to build a Young
Mems Christian Association build
ing and to organize Y. M. G. A.
organization, but for some reason
the plans miscarried.
This fact should not deter the
people of Fitzgerald from repeating
the effort, and no time will ever be
more suspicious than the present
to begin the work.
If the right people, with the
right energy and snap in the effort
will sgitate the movement be-
ginning will be had, and then the
movement will grow like a moving
SNOWFALL.
Our sister city Americas started
out few years ago, to build a Y.
M. G. A. building and at first
planned a four thousand dollar
structure. The people become
more and more interested, and con-
tinued to subscribe money to the
fund for erecting the institution,
until when it stood completed, the
lot, building and equipment rep
resented $50, 600 instead Of "a, 600.
The structure is one of the hand
soonest and best equipped in the
state, and would be a credit to
any city in Georgia.
The people of Americus did not
think much to start with Of the
great benefits such an institution
is to a community, but as the
question was sgitated and the
prime movers exploited the returns
to be derived from a Y. NJ. G. A.
investment in d clean and whole
some, and morally strong young
! manhood, the citizens OF Americas
decided that if $4,000 wOnld pay
small dividend in good citizen
ship, $4,000 would pay seven and
a half times as much, and they
wanted all the results possible to
be obtained.
Argument for Y. M. G. A. is
unnecessary. Every man in Fitz-
gerald, if he be good citizen and
alive to the ultimate prosperity
and good name of his town, can
not but say such an institution is
needed here. To get it requires
but one thing.
Get busy on the proposition;
get the movement started, and it
will then move by it's own mo-
mentum to such a point where the
work can be started.
Fitzgerald needs a Y. M. q. A.
She should do this important work
during 1910 by all means; but the
first half of the year is betteI-the
sooner the work is done the quicker
the stockholders will begin to real
ize dividends in good citizenship.

MAY DIVIDE THIS
JUDICIAL DISTRICT

According to dispatch from Ou-
ray in the Pueblo Chieftain it has
just become known that a movement
is on foot to divide the seventh Judi
cial district of Colorado into two dis
tricts. II is reported that many of
the leading attorneys of the district
are in favor of the plan. There are
seven counties in this district, viz:
Ouray, Montrose, Hihsdale, Gunnison
and San Miguel counties II is con-
tended that owing to the fact that the
court business has become so heavy
in Mesa, Montrose and Delta counties
the district is too large for one Judge
to serve with any degree of conven-
ience. Mesa county alone will have
less than ten weeks of district court
sessions this year, already six weeks
of court has been held there this
year. another adjourned term comes
on June 20. and then comes the big
October term. Montrose and Delta
counties also have dockets that re-
quire almost twice as much time as
was the case three or four years ago,
1t is planned to make an effort to
get Mesa. Delta and Montrose coun-
ties put into one district, with one
judge, and Gunnison. San Miguel, Ou-
ray and Hinsdale counties placed in
one district with one judge. IL is
maintained that the politicians would
have no ground to kick as the four
counties would make a solidly demo-
cratic district and the three counties
would make Il republican district.
Judge Shackleford is the presiding
Judge of the seventh judicial district
He is a republican. He will be a
candidate for reelection. 1t is said
that he believes a division of the dis
trict would be fully justified. Mont
