CAPITA

Pratts Digest relating to laws National Banks, and
probably the highest and most frequently consulted
thory National Banking the following as to Cap
ita
THE capital of bank should be reality, not fc
ton and it should be owned by those who have money to
lend and not by borrowers No bank have pros
porous career it's stockholders take in loans the
money they have put in capital for such bank being
rendered unable to accommodate the business public out
side of it's owners depves itself of of the principal
means of success.
We believe that The Exchange National Bank capital
stock owned by just such financially strong people
Pratt refers to- Our stockholders for the part
natives and we'll established people, who large land
owners and for the other part they people who by we'll
directed efforts have carved snug fortunes in this
ton of wregrass Georgia. and altogether they liberal

To illustrate the foregoing the President of this bank
has never borrowed cent from this institution Our
stockholders are small borrowers
A person said few days ago. that explanation of
the fact that The Exchange National Bank had so much
deposits than any other bank in this section was
that its stockholders left money deposit than do

Aviation.

This morning Fred Ellis made two
flights with his Farman-Curtis Biz
plane at the Aviation Field in this
city. He went out to the grounds ear
ly and made test flight after which
Mr.. Berger summoned a number
Of citizens he found on the streets
among them the Editor OF the En-
terprise who went to the Aviation
Field about 7;30 o'clock.
Aviator Ellis promptly started his
motor inspite of the fact that quite
breeze from the west had come
up, and glided off rising gracefully
from the field, and going quite be-
yond the Enclosures, but just as he
was turning to come back on to the
field it was evident that his weaken
propeller would not stand the strain
and he came to the ground landing
or the graded street west of the
aviation field damaging the wing
of the aeroplane, and the gliding
wheels underneath. The aviator
jumped just as the plain struck the
the earth, or rather spang from his
his seat in such manner as to es
cape injury,
Some fifty gentlemen witnessed
the flight and were greatly pleased
at the manner in which the aviator
glided into the air, and correspon-
denly disheartened when he failed
to make the turn and come back
on to the field.
The weakened propeller is pre-
cisely what deferred Aviator Ellis
from making a fight yesterday, and
the result shows that he has not
been any too discreet.
Mr.. Ellis will Immediately repair
his plane, and do all the flying that
the people of Fitzgerald want to see
before leaving this city.

Surprise Shower.

Monday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaac Hines were given a variety
shower, which came as a COM
plete surprise to them. Early
in the evening a large number of
their friends gathered at the
home of Rev. and Mrs. Rice and
proceeded in a body to the homo
of the "newliweds". The even
ing was spent with games and
music, and refreshments con-
sisting of ice cream and cake
which were furnished by the
guests, were served. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hines were the recipient of
many beautiful as we'll as useful
presents in the way of hand
painted china, linen, etc.

The big game that was to
have taken place between the
Fats and Leans, on Tuesday,
July 1S, has been postponed un-
I'll Tuesday, July rs, on account
of the fact that the big booster
parade will take place in Denver
on the 18th. Remember the date
and tell your friends about it.
The big chief" of the Fats
stated in the last issue of his
paper that the Leans put off the
second game as long as possible
so that they might have time to
practice up, or words to that ef-
feet, but the rolly-polly gentle
man is very much mistaken.
Our object in having some time
elapse between the games was to
give the Fats an opportunity to
learn something about the game
SO as to make it interesting. The
Leans don't want to 90 out to
the ball park and not have to

exert themselves in order to win.
With a fast bunch of ball tossers
like the Leans it is necessary for
the opposing team to play some
ball in order to make it interest
ing.
Just the other day, while over
in Denver, we ran across a bunch
of Fat gentlemen lowering over
the ball report at the Post and
they were very frank in admit
ting that they were trying to
gather together a few pointers
in the game so as to be able to
play more scientifically in the
next game here.
The Leans are not a boasting
bunch and about all you can get
out of them in regard to the re-
suit Of the second game is Just
wait until the game is played. "
Don't fail to see this contest
unless you have a grudge at
yourself. The proceeds will go
to the band boys.

AUTOMOBILE GOES DOWN EN-.
BANkMENT ON Wolf HILL ROAD
Big Peerless Car Turns Completely Over
and Owner, Geo. F. Keller, Is
Seriously Injured.

Sunday morning about nine
O'Clock a large Peerless automo-
bile plunged down the embank-
ment just the other side of the
bridge as you go up Wolff hill.
The car belonged to Geo. F.
Keller, 1884 Lincoln street, Den
yer, and he and the driver were
the only occupants. They had
taken Mrs. Keller and daughter
to Crags, where a new hotel and
pleasure resort, Of which Mr..
Keller is president, is being
opened and was to have been
dedicated that day, and were re-
turning to Denver in order to
drive out with a large party be-
longing to an automobile club.
They were a little late and
were running at a tremendous
rate when the car struck the soft
dirt on Wolff hill and skidded
down the embankment. The
driver escaped without much
damage but Mr.. Keller was hurt
quite seriously. DR.. Foster was
called and gave immediate atten-
ton, after which he was taken
to his home.
When the car started down the
embankment it rolled entirely
over and landed right side up in
the water about twenty or thirty
feet below the road. The wheels
and woodwork of the machine
were badly smashed up, but it is
thought that the engine was not
seriously injured.

In this letter l will describe
my visit to the south of France
and through Spain. If one forms
his opinion of the French by the
Parisians he may have the idea
that the French people are a gay,
superficial, pleasure-loving ma
ton. 1t is very true one must
always go to the country to find
the real back bone of the nation,
so in France one finds the coun-
try folk very industrious eco
nomical, substantial and far-see-
ing. AS l saw France from the
train l saw a great garden beau
tifully titled, bursting forth with
the bloom of life of springtime.
On all sides are the many colored
flowers of fruit trees, ornamental
trees, shrubs and garden plants.
Such is the journey from Paris
to Marseilles.
Marselles,::with a population Of
half a million, is the principle
seaport and the second city in
France. Except for it's busy
harbor and beautiful site, the
city is comparatively uninterest-
ing. It has extensive commerce
amounting to 100000 tons
annually represented by cereals,
oilseeds, coal, sugar, coffee, hides,

tuous. l will describe only my
visit to Monte Carlo because
through its casino it is the best
known.
This little town of 1000 people
enjoys the distinction of being
the greatest gambling place in
the world. The handsome ca
sino stands on a promontory
commanding a wonderful view
of the sea and coast line. The
interior is very sumptuously fitted
up. Minors and inhabitants of
the principality of Monaco are
not admitted. The games
played are Roulette and Trente-
ct Quarante, the minimum and
maximum stakes being from 81.
to 50, 400. 1t was an interesting
spectacle to see in the many
rooms the scores of tables sur
rounded by hundreds Of men and
women, old and young, some
playing for pleasure and others
as though their lives depended
on it. The fate of many seemed
to be wrapped up in the little
white ball of the roulette wheel.
Perhaps you are surprised to
know there were os many if not
more women playing than men.
Then too, | was surprised to see
so many old men and women
playing like mad. know l have
never seen so much money at
one time and it was marvellous
how quickly it went from the
players purse to the bankers
till. Of course they don't take
time to pick up the coins so they
hoe the money in piles and use
small shovels. This handling be-
comes a dexterous art upon the
part of the bankers. l was sur
prised too to see so many players
who seemed to be the type of
persons who have just enough
money to live comfortably.
Many, of course, were hand
somely groomed and smartly
gowned. l was amused to watch
one man in particular. l took
him to be an American and a mil
lionaire. He seemed to have a
limitless supply of the filthy lu-
ere which he threw away as
mere useless metal. He would
put on from 80 to so franc gold
pieces at a time. If he won or
if he lost he appeared to be little
concerned. Then he would walk
from one table to another and
sprinkle on the gold coins. How
mankind runs after the game of
chance in one way or another.

les and from there went to Bar

celona in Spain. At the frontier
it was necessary to change rail-
way carriages as the Spanish
gauge is different to the French.
l had heard that the Spanish
railway system is far from per-
fection and | soon found the
truth of the statement. 1t was
worse than l imagined a system
could be and especially in civil
lied Europe. Of course one
might expect to put up with in
conveniences in the wilds of A.
rica. Words really fail me when
| attempt to express my appreci-
alton of the rottenest railroads
in the world. If one has a jour-
ney of a hundred miles or so to
make he should rise early and
not complain if he rides all day
and far into the night. Honestly
| felt when l left Spain that |
had spent most Of the time get
ing from one place to another.
The speed is abominably slow.
The fastest express with first
class only, seldom runs more than
twenty-five miles an hour and
the ordinary trains never attain
a speed Of more than fifteen
miles an hour. The conductors of
the train and even the day labor
ers may ride in the same COM
partment as you. They smoke
and they spit on the floor in any
compartment. Then too. all Of
ficials are so maddenly slow.
Time is no object to them.
1t takes hours. more or less, to
purchase a ticket or check ones
luggage. To add to the above
discontinue, the heat is quite op-
pressive even in the last of April
and early part of May. For
weeks there had been no rain so
the dust easily found its way
into the trains. The country in
places looks parched and dry.
The traveller usually thinks of
Spain as a country with mild
climate, luxuriant vegetation, a
lively population and ample relics
of Moorish architecture. This is
true only in certain sections.
Almost the whole of the interior
of Spain amounting to at least
two thirds of the peninsula is a
bleak and often arid land with
very few trees to break the mo-
notony. 1t looks very like the
southern plains Of our state
and the territories to the south
in midsummer. The cheerless
adobe houses look very like the
Mexicans' homes. In these parts
one may journey for hours with
