LABOR LEADERS ESCAPE

Jail Sentences Held To Be Utterly
Illegal--High Court Rules That
Labor Leaders Might Have
Been Fined.

Washington, May 15.-The gov
ernment today won it's case against
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, in that it is a conspiracy
and monopoly in restraint of trade.
The decree of the lower court was
affirmed, being modified In par
ticulars which Chief Justice White
said were slight indeed.
! Justice Harlan announced a dis
senting opinion.
WHITE DELIVERS OPINION.
At 4 o'clock Chief Justice White
began to deliver the opinion of the
court.
It was Chief Justice White who
had lent his voice to the refusal OF
the court to dissolve the so-called
sugar trust when the famous
knight case was before the court.
He also delivered a dissenting
opinion when the Northern Sc
curities Company was dissolved
by the court as being in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law.

At a call meeting this morning
of twenty leading business men in the
office Of the Mayor, it was decided that
IA public mass meeting was urgently
necessary for the good of the city and
to insure it's commercial future.
The Enterprise calls on the public
spirited men Of Fitzgerald to respond
to the call to duty, it is spontaneous

the threatening situation and against
impending dangers.

The Third Ward School.

The five lady teachers, their
classes, Supt. Sans, the School
Board and the city, are proud OF
the record made by the Third
Ward School.
The work in the several grades
has been we'll up to the standard,
indeed gratifying to those interested,
but it is other work in the nature
of innovations that we wish to
notice.
The establishment of a
library of two hundred volumes
the adornment Of the interior of
the building, and the improve
ment of the school grounds, are
among the things accomplished. by
the teachers and pupils of the
Third Ward building that are en-
tirely out Of the ordinary, and be-
speak the thrift, ENERGY, tact and
good taste of Mrs. r. E. Lee and
Misses Ethel Hines, Margaret
Emory, Louise Fisher, and Willie
Willis, teachers in charge Of that
division of the city schools.
Without taxing the pupils in their
charge, but by inspiring them with
enthusiasm, they have raised
S9925 in cash, won the prize
picture offered by the Turner Art
Exhibit and came near winning a
splendid piano for the school
building.
The improvement in the school
ground, the flower garden, and
even vegetable garden and the
manner in which they have cared
for the building and premises all
bespeak degree Of enterprise IN
usual and to say the least crafty
ing to all the friends of the school
We tip our hat to the enterpris-
ing lady teachers and pupils OF the

For The Odd Fellows Home

The be sure we are all anxious to
have the Odd Fellows Home located
here and a few of us are demon
strating our interest by our works.
The local Odd Fellows have sub
scribed between seven and eight
hundred dollars and will give more.
The public has not had an opportu-
nifty to show it's interest in the
home, but the opportunity will be
given this week.
Three of the committee having
the matter in charge, and who will
report on the matter to the Grand
Lodge live in Fitzgerald, and of
course they are loyal, but they
cannot hope for success unless they
90 to the Grand Lodge with a good
and business like proposition in
black and white.
A thousand dollars ought to be
raised or subscribed this week, and
splendid site eligible, desirable and
attractive, of IS, SO or a hundred
acres should be offered to the Grand
Lodge. Any land owner with few
hundred acres can afford to give Is
or more acres, that would increase
the value of the remainder of his
holdings to much more than the
original value of the whole tract.
There is one thing, keep in mind
that it does not cost you a penny if
you subscribe a hundred dollars or
a hundred acres of land unless the
home is located here, and it is
bound to represent an investment
worth several hundred per cent on
its cost to the subscribers.
There are dozens-scores of
places, cities and. towns in Georgia
anxious for the home, and they are
going to make strong bids at the
Grand Lodge. We cannot hope to
win with less than $4,000. in sub
scrintions and a valuable and de-
sireable site.
Mrs. Agnes C. Dickson, of West
Central, and Mrs. Amanda /. Moore,
of East Magnolia, and Mr.. VIM.
Mccormick are the resident mem
bers of the committee, and they are
enthusiastically at work. and meet
| ing with considerable encourage
ment.
Several local lodges or secret
orders have agreed to furnish or
supply the furniture for one room
of the home each, and it is probable
that every secret order in the city
will cheerfully contribute elegant
furnishings for one room of the
home.
We will publish in Thursdays
Enterprise the list of Odd Fellows
subscriptions and Tuesday of next
ween we will publish a list of other
subscribers, and the land owner who
will contribute the site. There may
be several offered, but of course
the one actually used for the site
will be the only one accepted.

The Garden of Eden.

In some of his lectures Professor Robert W. Rogers of Drew Theological seminary expressed his opinion on the location of the garden of Eden. He thinks that the garden of Eden was somewhere in the regicn lying between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates. Tn an address before the Harlem branch of the Y. NJ. c. A. some years ago he said:
 "When the search for the holy grail ceased in the middle ages the human mind took up the problem of the loca- ton of the garden of Eden. This has been put in many places-Armenia. Utopia, Atalantis Che prehistoric con- tinenO and equatorial Africa. Chris topher Columbus thought that Vene- xuela was the place, and because there is an Adams peak on the island of Ceylon others have put the garden there. It has also been found in Pal estine and at the north pole"

Must Have Tired His Jaws.

It might be we'll for those who adopt the one meal day system to become chewers at the same time. A chewer. according to dietetic experts, Is one who chews all things so long as they have any taste left in them. Glad stone, 1t is recorded, used to take thirty-two bites to every mouthful of food. This would be considered dan- gerously rapid eating by the modern school of chewers. '1 have tried chewing conscientiously," writes Eus tace Miles. "A banana has cost SOU bites. a small mouthful of bread and cheese 24O bites, greedy mouthful of biscuit (whi,e I was walking on Yorkshire moor, more than thousand bites.

Immense Cost of Roman Feas.s.


 The amount of money often expend- ed by the wealthy Romans on their sumptuous meals appears fabulous. Vitellius is said to have spent as much as 404 sestertia about f4,22S of Eng fish moneyl on his daily supper. and the celebrated feast to which he in vited his brother cost no less than f40.35O. It consisted of 2,000 different dishes of fish and 1000 of fowls. with other equally numerous meats. His daily food was of the most rare and exquisite nature The deserts of Lybia. the shores of Spain. the waters of the Carpathian sea and even the coasts and forests of Britain were diligently searched for dainties to supply his table, and had he reigned long he would, observes Josephus, have ex- hausted the great opulence of the Ro- man empire Standard.

Fore Feet of a Horse.

Fore Feet Of Horse.
 'It's funny thing" said the old animal trainer, ''but you can't train a horse to walk on his fore feet because he ain't built that way. Take the dog or cat animals and they'll not only walk on their fore feet, but they will go up and down stairs with their hind legs In the air. It's little harder to teach than walking on the hind feet. but it is merely matter of patience and of knowing how. but get horse of his hind legs and you have a lame hcyse. Dozens of trainers have spoiled rom one to twenty horses apiece try ing for the trick, but the nearest any one ever came to it was an English trainer who had jackass that could stay up for little while, but even the Jack was strained and soon had to be destroyed. Horses taken into upstairs theaters will go up the steps as agile as cats. but when they come down they have to be backed down. That's one reason why horses used in hill work break down so quickly. It's not the long, hard pull uphill: it's the hold ing back going down."-New York Sun.
