WHO ARE MORMONS

In last weeks issue of the Tribune
an article appeared under the can.
tlon' The -Mormons Are in Our
MIDST. The heading was not fur.
nished by the writer, as he and the
people he represents discIaim the
name. And while we wouldn't risk
quarrel with the editor, even II
we felt like it, for he has pursuaded
us of good motives, yet seriously we
feel prompted to ask of the world the
/ consideration they claim, to not be
forced to bear Applications that mis-
represent.
The term Mormon when originally
applied to the church was less OBJ
Ject1onable, as it was because Of
their acceptance of the Book of Nor
mon. work hailed by them with
delight, because of it's remarkable
character, claims and miraculous an
pearance; a book setting forth the
history of the Red Mans progenitors
whose origin had been shrouded in
mystery-a book presenting moral
precepts above reproach and doc
trines and incidents corroborating
the Bible and fulfilling its proph-
ecies.
AS supporters of such a work the
name bore to them but little re-
proach, but when It became synono-
nous with polygamy, blood atone
ment, the Mountain Meadow massa-
ere and other teachings and doings
OF the people who came west and
now bear the name without protest.
we object to the appelation and pro-
test that it means them-it surely
does not mean us, whom they de-
nounce as their enemies and style
"Josephite," "Reorganites," etc.
We opine that the CHI istians of
today with all their reverence for
the Book of Books, would resent be-
ing called "Bibles," especially If
that term had become significant of
opposite teachings and morals to
theirs.
We are trying to keep the name
of the Reorganized Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints above re-
proach and invite a rigid examina-
ton of our teachings and doings and
ask that judgment be based thereon.

TEN GOOD REASONS FOR HOME
PATRONAGE.

/. Your home merchant can du
plicate the prices made by any re-
sponsible concern anywhere on goods
OF equal quality, in the same guam,
titles and on the same basis of de.
livery and payment.
Q. You can examine your pur.
chases in the home stores and be
assured of satisfaction before in
vesting your money.
3. Your home merchants are al
ways ready and willing to make
right any error or any defective ar
ticle purchased.
4. Your home merchants help to
support, through direct and indirect
taxation, your schools, churches and
other public institutions.
5. Your home merchant help to
make a good local market for ev-
erything you have to sell, and that
market-more than any other factor
gives your land its present value
6. Your home merchants are
your good friends, ever ready to ex-
tend a helping hand in the time of
need.
7. II this community is good
enough for you to live in and make
your money, tits good enough for
you to spend 1t in.
s. The best citizens of this COM
munity are the ones who believe In
and practice home patronage. Be
one of the best.
8. The merchants in the distant
city give you nothing valuable that
the home merchant cannot give you
and the former cannot and will not
do many things that the latter will
do gladly.
10. Every dollar kept in circu-
lation in this community helps In
crease property values. Every dol
lar sent out of this county that as
we'll could have been spent here him
ders the wheels of progress and
helps build up some other commu-
nifty at your expense--Nyal's Family

Bridge across the Allapaha due
west of the city, several hundred
feet of which were burned soon
after the bridge was built, and
which has remained impossible for
several months.
The bridge is on the direct road
between Fitzgerald and Ashburn.
A shorter route by several miles
than the road via IrWinyille.
We understand that the public
road, four or five miles through
Irwin County from the Ben Hill
County line to the river will also
be put in good condition by the

The road beyond the bridge

The State Capitol Too Small

Atlanta, May 4.-The sentiment
which has prevailed among state
house officers for some time past,
and which is shared by many voters
acquainted with the situation, to the
effect that the capitol is inadequate
in size and accommodation for the
various departments of the govern
ment, will probably be crystalized
in the message of Governor Brown
to the legislature this summer, ad-
vocating the erection of capitol
annex, either on the present grounds,
or at some convenient site nearby.
Governor Brown believes that the
annex should really be as large as
the present capitol, and that rooms
should be provided for the state
museum in the new structure.
He thinks the executive offices,
the court of appeals, the supreme
court and the state treasury should
be retained in the old building,
together with the departments of
the comptroller general and the
secretary of state. The other de-
partments, he thinks, should be
housed in the new structure.

Six O'clock Closing

AS published in another column
the merchants of the city have
signed a contract to close theil
places of business at 6 o'clock except
Saturdays, the 18th and 15th,railroad
paydays. The agreement has already
gone into effect and every evening
at six o'clock the clerks and the
storekeepers turn out for needed
recreation unless there is other work
of preparation.
The practice is almost universal
in Georgia cities, and very proper
recognition of the rights of the peo-
pie employed in the stores.
The public will find it works no
hardship, once they form the habit
of doing their shopping before six.
We are informed that some of the
stores, not signers to the agreement
will observe the rule, and that prac-
tically business will be suspended
in the city after six o'clock.

Governor Smith AT Valdosta

Atlanta, May 4.-Governor-elect
Hoke Smith, has prepared a strong
address to deliver at the convention
of county school commissioners at
Valdosta today. He will say in part
The possibilities of the farm in
Georgia are unlimited, and the task
of helping to develop those who are
to handle these possibilities is in
spring.
The ideal school system will not
exist until each county through local
taxation establishes one system of
schools for the entire county, but
this condition will come slowly and
the task is largely on you to see
that progress is made with the
schools as they now exist.
The work of the rural schools
cannot be accomplished by mere
instruction in reading, writing arith-
metic, grammer, geography and his
tory. The children must be taught
those things that pertain to rural
life in order that their powers of
observation and creation may be
stimulated with reference to the
things which will be connected with
their future.
The rural school should be made
as far as possible the center of
amusement and study for the pa
rents as we'll as for the children.
The county school commissioners
and rural teachers must themselves
feel the deepest interest in rural life,
and be ready to acquire and teach
all knowledge possible with refer
ence to it, if they are to be success
full workers"

She Made Good Her Threat
A Young Girl Jumped in The River

Elizabeth Blohmann, Is years old,
stood before her mother and said
that if opposition to her marriage
continued she would end her life.
You'll do no such thing and
you'll not marry that man" the
mother said.
Elizabeth ran from the house, fol-
lowed by the mother. The girl was
hatless and her long hair was hang
inc down her back. The mother
was close behind, and many times
she ordered the girl to stop, but
Elizabeth kept on her way, and
gradually she increased the distance
between them.
Persons who saw the chase mar
veied, but no one took it up.
AS the girl passed Willard Parker
hospital she seemed to be staggering
from fatigue. Officials and attend
ants saw the girl, and they watched
her as she dashed out On a dock
and with a shrek dived into the
river. Doctors and nurses ran to
the end of the dock. Their screams
were heard on the opposite shore,
where five sailors in small boat
from a warship anchored off the
Brooklyn navy yard were rowing.
The sailors went over to the dock
and doctor made them under
stand that a girl was drowning in
the river.
When Elizabeth had made her
leap the tide caught her up and
carried her far out in the stream. A
sailor caught sight of her as she
was sinking the last time, and she
was fished out with an oar. AS
the sailors lifted the unconscious
girl to tire dock Mrs. Blohmann
came up, painting and weak. She
saw her daughter, and, believing
her dead, walled pitifully.
Elizabeth was carried to the hos
pitaI and for half an hour doctors
and nurses worked over her before
