The Questioned Most Vital
Importance to Fitzgerald

Tomorrow evening Rev, E. }.
Hammond, pastor of the First M.
E. Church will speak on the sub
ject of The Question of Most Vital
Importance in Fitzgerald"
Referring to the subject, Mr..
Hammond says, Il have been led
to take this subject because of the
need of its discussion. Business
men are working for the welfare of
the city. That a preacher could
have anything to say of practical
worth upon the subject probably
never occurs to them as posi-
bility; and perhaps they will say
when he has put forward his views
his folly was a foregone conclusion.
Still preachers sometimes read the
signs of the practical skies; and a
word from the pulpit at this juno
ture may not be an untimely mes
sage.
A new railroad for Fitzgerald
will be a good thing; the eradication
of flies and mosquitoes better;
an Odd Fellows Home desirable;
and the making of city of 10000
by 1920 a laudable aim. And yet
these are not the matters of the
most vital importance to Fitzger-
aid. THE QUESTION OF MOST
VITAL IMPORTANCE is WHETH-
Err SIN OR RIGHTEOUSNESS is
STRONGER IN THIS CITY.
Why of course righteousness is
stronger, one hears in a chorus
But without any Of the spirit of a
pessimist let me calmly ask, Is it?
Near beer saloons are bad enough
blind tigers and gambling joints are
worse. But when in one week ii
develops that boys are led to com
nit crimes to secure money fol
criminal purposes; when the next
week the women of the city make
public appeal for better moral
conditions; and when the third
week an officer of the law diSgraces
himself in fit of drunkenness, il
is time for worthy citizens to ask
themselves if things can't be clean
ed up a little, and if there isn't
something they can do at the task
don't expect to be needed.
have preached long enoug to learn
that some conditions are hard tC
change. But I expect tokeep ham
mering at it. Not popularity, not
notoriety, but the preaching of Gods
righteous requirements until men
do something beside ignore them
shall be my aim in future even
more than in the past"

Courts Responsible
For Lynch-Law

Editor Fitzgerald Enterprise
Unless all signs fail, there will pro-
badly be something doing" by our
present legislature to amend our
criminal laws with a view to putting
a stop to the frequent outbursts of
mob violence that are not only a
disgrace to our civilization, but to
which even innocent persons are
liable to fall victims. This was, in
deed, the case with the. last victim
of the Walton County lynching af-
fair who was held on mere suspicion
of harboring some evil designs. If
people are to be put to death on
such fiimsy charges, WHOSE LIFE
is SAFE?
That it is at last daWning upon
some of our leading men that the
red tape" technicalitiesIand delays
with which our laws are admins
tered are wholly responsible for
theses deplorable occurrences, may
be seen from the following extracts
taken from the Atlanta Constitution
of July 3rd and 5th, which also
clearly point out the only way in
which they can be prevented, for
let it be understood that those who
participate in them, do not DEFY
the laws, but THEY WANT THEM
ENFORCED, and if those whose
bounden duty it is to enforce them
without unwarrantable delays and
unnecessary expense will not do it,
they will do it themselves.
Judge Lynch" is not so much
actuated by desire for revenge, as
by the first law of Nature-the in
stinct of Self-preservatiOn, and if the
laws do not afford people the needed
protection, who will? But the worst
/ feature of lynCh-laW is that innocent
people often fall victims to it, and
it is this which will probably move
our legislature to so amend the laws
that there will be no necessity fol
unauthorized persons taking them
into their own hands.
First let me quote Judge George
Hillyer in the Constitution of July
3rd.
The real fault, certainly the
greatest part of the fault, lies in the
forms of judicial procedure under
which there are so many technicali-
ties and delays that when one OF
these horrible crimes occur, good
men in the community have not
enough assurance that the course OF
the law will result in administering
the needed punishment. These de-
laws are the fault of the law. 1t is
easy to amend the laws so that the

Miss Nurphey Returns Home

Miss Sophie Murphey who has
been teaching music and expression
the past year in North Georgia, has
returned to this city and is now at
home with her mother on South
Main St.
Miss Murphy is a daughter of the
late Prof. L. A. Murphy, one Of Geor-
gia's distinguished educators, and
comes from a family of culture and
refinement.
She bears the highest recommen-
dations from her former patrons,
and was reelected for another year.
We understand though that she will
not return but will open a studio at
her home and begin teaching here.
We wish her success.

NUMBER So

verdict of the courts may be
promptly executed.
The people know when one of
these assaults occur that the case
may be kept in the courts on tech
nical motions for new trials, and in
the meantime the prisoner may
escape, or the witnesses die or scat
ter Cor be bought off," H. W. or
the culprit be pardoned and so
justice may never be done. (But
the taxpayers have to foot the bills,
H. w. And every time the case is
tried, the poor, innocent victim of
the crime has to tell the horrible
story over and over again" -Once
is enough for the people led by
Judge Lynch, and SHOULD BE
ENOUGH FOR OUR LAWMAKERS
TOO!
In its comments on the above,
the Constitution says: LEGAL
TECFiNICALITY-that is the sub
stance of blistering indictment by
Judge George Hillyer whose ringing
statements are based upon the Wal
ton County massacre. When man
of his judicial mind excOriates a
murderous frailty of his own pro-
fession, it is time for the younger
generation to take heed of the
counsels of a patriarch. He shows
that in heinous offenses of that
kind ALL SENSELESS TECHNI-
CALITY SHOULD BE REMOVED.
The assurance that the law will be
enforced is now missing. A thou
sandloopholes are open to the Grim
inal. The people are not sure he
will ever come to trial. The mind of
the normal white man revoltS at the
idea of the victim of an assault
facing the accused. Hence unname-
able crime; swift mob vengeance!
Judge Hillyer also shows that in
this and other States legal bodies
and the highest officials and author
tiles have been literally pleading
for thorough revision of the law
along the lines long urged by this
paper If there are further lynchings
in Georgia following the meeting of
the legislature, the members oppos-
ing the remedy pointed out by the
best thought and talent of the land
cannot avoid personal responsibility
in the premises"
But what is the chief obstacle to
the revision of the law so that quick
retribution may overtake the crimi-
nal? WHAT BUT THE OPPORTU-'
MITES FOR GRAFT AND BIG
FEES WHICH THESE DELAYS
AND TECHNICALITIES AFFORD!
That's the tempter which it will
take more than one Judge Hillyer
to overcome!

ments, Says Barrett,
is Helping the Man
Who's Down.
To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers Union:

To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers Union:
If more men had helped each
other over rough places since the
world began, civilization and Chris
tianity would be much farther adj
vanced than it is now.
The obligation to help the man
who is down and out is one of the
most sacred-and it isn't confined
to your fellow-member in the
Farmers Union. In the first place
you don't know when you may be
in the same fix yourself, and in
need of assistance. In the second
by helping to put man on his
feet you are saving yourself the
expense of having to feed him Or
his family. So the proposition cuts
from the business as we'll as the
philantrophic end.
In this country of quick changes
the man you give lift today may
tomorrow be in position to help
you or the organization So it's
good policy as well as plain
matter of duty.
don't think | ever saw a man
So far gone in meanness that !
wouldn't try my best to give him
even little ray of lift. The man
or woman who is cast out of society
with the cry of "Unclean!" is the
man or woman who most need
help.
You are not going to spoil your
hands by picking people up out Of
tae mire. You're much more
likely to soil your sou, and lose
some good opportunities in life by
failing to do it.
One of the most beautiful fea
lures about some of the secre
orders is that they never desert {
member, no matter how far he ha'
strayed from the pathway. Tha
ought to be the motto of the Far
mers' Union, from the biggest lead
ers down to the newest joinerS.
We have a good deal of that
spirit now in the organization. The
more we encourage it the more VIZ
enhance the prestige of the order
and live up to the principles upo1
which it is founded.

Festival in Celebration of First Rush
20 Alaska Gold Fields.

Seattle April 5-On July II, |
1897 the steamer Portland arrived in
Seattle, bringing a ton of virgin gold
from the rich new fields of the Klon-
dyke and starting the great gold rush
which gave the first impetus to Sc
attle's growth and prosperity. On
July II, 1911. Seattle will inaugu-
rate an annual carnival to celebrate
the gift of gold, the celebration to be
called the Golden Potlatch, 81"
and to consist Of a week Of pageantry
and merry making in which the whole
city will take part. The name and gem
eral nature of the festival were deoid-
ed upon by a committee Of leading
citizens early this week and the de-
tails Of the big carnival are in the
hands Of several committees. while
the whole city is subscribing funds
for the event by purchasing official
/ buttons.
The name Golden Potlatch '97'
/ is derived from the old Chinook word
Potlatch. which meant TO give, or
as a noun. a festival of giving. The
Seated carnival might have been
termed a festival in commemoration
of the gift of gold in 1897, the short
Indian word being used to express
this idea. The celebration viii furth-
