CARUSO MAY NEVER sing
AGAIN

Atlanta Ca, April 13-A tele-
gram has just been received from
New York announcing the fact that
Enrico Caruso, leading tenor of the
metropolitan Grand Opera Com
pany, is suffering from a severe
attack of LaGrippe and will be UNI
able to sing in Atlanta during the
coming season. His physician ex-
pressed grave doubt as to the pos
sibility of the great tenor being
able to use his voice unless he took
a rest of at least a year. They
have also admitted the possibility
of the Italian singer losing his
stage voice entirely:

Farmers Union President
Given A Cordial Reception

Hon. E. Cabaniss, president of the
National Farmers Union, was the
guest of Ben Hill County Farmers
Union Tuesday.
He was met at the train by a
committee of the Ben Hill Union
and escorted to the residence of Mr.
C. A. Newcomber, near the city,
whose guest he was during his stay
in Fitzgerald.
At noon he was escorted to the
courthouse, where he delivered an
able practical address to a large
gathering of farmers and business
men. Judge Whipple very courte-
ously recessed the circuit court two
hours to allow the farmers the use
of the courtroom and the jurors and
witnesses from the farms an oppor-
tunity to hear Mr.. Cabaniss.
He was introduced to the audi
ence by President G. C. Ball of the
Ben Hill County Union, and was
received with enthusiasm. Mr..
Cabaniss is a plain-looking, unas-
Stunning farmer from Oglethorpe
county. But he is a bright, logical
and impressive speaker.
He is a good story-teller, and often
illustrates point with an apt funny
story. For instance, in stressing the
great importance of organizing the
farmers into unions to study the
best methods of crop-making and
saving, to obtain the best prices
possible for what they make to sell,
and to protect themselves against
the middlemen and the spectators,
he told the story of a man who went
sightseeing to the insane asylum at
Milledgeville. While the superin'
tendent of the bug house" was
showing him through the visitor
asked the superintendent how many
patients he had in the place.
About 500" said the Superinten'
dent.
How many guards have you?"
y "Only fifty or sixty"
Great Caesar, man" said the
visitor; aren't you afraid these men
will combine some day and massa'
ere you and your guards?"
"Oh, no" replied the Superinten'
dent; crazy people never organize
or combine in their own interest"
After the address of President
Cabaniss, the Ben Hill union held c
short executive session to which only
members of the union were admit
ted.
In the afternoon President Caba-
Mss was driven through the streets
in an automobile and shown the
principal pointsof interest by Messrs
Newcomer, James and W. R
Bowen.
He left yesterday morning for
Mystic, where he met large gath
ering of Irwin county farmers.
In regard to the National Con-
vention of the Farmers Union being
held in this city next July, Mr.
Cabaniss stated that he was heartily
in favor of Fitzgerald and would
lend every effort to have this place

section of the city and finally to the
High School building, where the

o'clock. Another committee of the
Womans' Club is seeking homes for
these visitors. 1t is evident that
Fitzgerald will do herself proud in
the coming event 1t is very graft
flying to find such whole hearted
support in this undertaking.

be announced later. Don't forget
that the contests are to be held in

21st, and that the athletic contests

URGES EXTENSION
OF PAROLE LAW
Attorney General Wickersham
Declares 1t Should Include
Life Prisoners.

Omaha, Neb.. October 17.-In the bat
ties of economic forces for supremacy
the law must be obeyed. even though II
seems TO favor one class as against an
other. This view was expressed BY At
torneyGeneral Wickcrsham in speech
before the American Prison Associa-
ton here tonight.
Punishment in some form. declared
the Attorney General, is still necessary
To prevent crime. This is especially

and at a time when divers economic
forces are struggling with each other
for the mastery in the State. and where
laws are enacted through the influence

Or unwise those regulations may APP
pear TO those whose conduct Is sought
to be controlled By them, But within
its constitutional scope the acts OF the
Legislature stand until repealed as the
mandate of organized society. and the
continued effectiveness OF organized
society requires that obedience to such
laws be compelled"
Punlshment for Crime.
Th. Attorney General lensthily dis.
cussed the broad question OF punish

and so great stress has been laid on
that feature I'm dealing with criminals
That I'VE sometimes forget that In
order that punishment may act as
deterrent upon others. it must appear
as II badge of disgrace. and not simply
the bestowal OF benevoience."
