IF. johnson, On Old Veteran
Killed by a Moving Train

Mr.. J. T. Johnson, an old and
highly respected Federal veteran,
who resides with his family at Sol
West Oconee street. was seriously II
not fatally injured Wednesday after
noon at the railroad crossing west
of the depot, by being struck by a
refrigerator car attached to a freight
train in motion.
His injuries are such that there
is but little hope for his recovery.
AS is known to his man friends, Mr..
johnson is very hard of hearing,
which. no doubt, was at least one
kause of the accident.
? Mr.. Johnson's head and eyes are
seriously injured, and one arm so
badly mashed that it had to be am
putated above the elbow late yester-
day afternoon.
Mr.. johnson is past "A years OF
AGE and has resided in Fitzgerald
for many years.
The sad and unfortunate accident
falls with crushing weight, not only
on the loved wife and doting child
rem. but hundreds of friends all over
the city,
This is the second railroad acct
dent that has happened to this I'M
fortunate family. It will be remem-
bered that daughter of Mr.. John
sons was injured at Jacksonville,
Fla a few years ago. The railroad
company settled the matter by pay
ing her $1,000. and a year or two
later she passed away, caused by
the injuries previously received.
After the above was put in type
early this morning, word was receiV-
ed that Mr.. Johnson died at
2;10 a. m. AS yet no arrange
ments have been made for the fun
eraI but it is said the interment
will take place next Saturday, or IS
.soon as an absent son from the
north arrives.
The Enterprise extends to Mrs.
Johnson and children the sympath-
les of this entire community.

a Brave Man and a Sorrow
ing Child.

Atlanta, March 28.-The saddest
feature IN connection with the death
IOf Aaron Morris, who was stabbed
to death by negro, is the fact that
his little ten-year-old daughter, BeS-
sic Morris, will have to quit school
and 60 to work to help support tie
family. The news of her fathers
death and the summons to quit
school, probably forever came to the
little girl all together, and she cried
as if her heart would break.
The killing Of Morris was unusual.
He was sitting on his front porch
when negro attempted to assault
a white woman, one Of Morris neigh
bOrs, on the street, The woman
screamed and the negro ran. Nor
ris ran after him and when he final
ly caught up with the negro this is
what he did-he slapped the negro's
face with his open palm. The negro
Immediately stabbed him to death.
While sincerely sympathizins
with the dead man, the police and
the public have not been able to re-
frain from commenting on the utter
folly of his act. They doubt whether
ever before in the history of creation
white man has chased an armed
negro desperate, and on catching
him. has slapped him on the cheek

By a majority 1872 votes Waycross
citizens have banished the Sis Cow
from the city. The election was
spirited, but from the opening of the
voting places it was evident that the
anti-cow people were in the majority,
SAYS a WaycrCss special. Nearly
700 votes were cast, AS against

council will Immediately pass an
ordinance prohibiting cattle run
ming at large within the city limits,

Locker Clubs
And License Tax

Atlanta, March 28-The city
government of Atlanta has decided
to ask the Georgia legislature at its
coming e ssion to & rant At
Ianta the specific right to levy a
license tax on locker clubs.
Atlanta thought she already had
this right, but found when clubs
protested, that it was rather difficult
to prove, and the legislation will be
asked to remove all question of
doubt.

Tide Of Emigration Flows
Into Georgia.
A. 3. & "A. Road Alone Receives
1880 Inquiries Per Month.

An average OF 36 inquiries per
day or 1880 per month reach the
industrial department of the Allan
ia, Birmingham and Atlantic rail-
road on the subject of south Geor-
gia's opportunities in agricultural
and industrial pursuits. These in
quiries come in from points in the
west and northwest, where General
Passenger Agent W. H. Leahy of the
Atlanta Birmingham and Atlantic,
is advertising the south Georgia Sec
ton in the newspapers and maya
zines.
Investigation on the part of the in
dustrial department has proven that
nine of these inquiries out of ten are
from substantial people sincerely
seeking locations in which they may
settle and become identified with the
developing forces in this section.
One man wrote recently from Cali
fornia, stating that he had been in
duced to locate in that state by lit
erature describing the climate, but
that on landing there he had found
land values and freight rates so high
that farming prosperously was out
of the question. He is already on
his way south to look over the pos
sibilities in the section about Thorn
asville. Another man with a family
of y wants to come into this section
from Ohio. and several real estate
concerns OF south Georgia are cor
responding with him for satisfac-
tory tract of land.
Since the United States govern
ment estimates that the average
family is worth $4,000 per annum to
the community, it can readily be
seen what valuable asset to the
community this mans family OF II
will be when he locates.
The inquiries received by the in
dustrlal department OF the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlanta are imme-
diately sent to about SO commercial
organizations and real estate con-
Germs in South Georgia. These con-
Germs write personally to the in
qulrers and forward literature aCcu-
rately describing the conditions in
this section, and through this means
numbers of new families are brought
into the territory every day
The tide has set in strongly and
the wonderful Wiregrass country is
already showing evidences of the
work accomplished by the new pop
ulation.
Mr., Leahy is now preparing for
distribution a bulletin showing how
fone man in his territory made a
clear profit Of $4,000 on a 70-acre
farm. The department is also gather
ing statistics which will show accu
rately the number of new families
thot have been brought into the ter
ritory within the past II months

A NEW UNITY LEAD

Christian unity leaders among Pro-
testants are intensely gratified, they
say. over two incidents occurring in
connection with the return from Rome
of Cardinal Farley of New York. one
of these is a plank in the resolution
adopted at the HippOdrome reception.
when 5000 Catholics attended. express
ing appreciation for kind words ut
tered by non Catholics of New York
and America, and saying Catholics de-
sire 10 cooperate with non-Cathollcs
in all things that are calculated To
elevate citizenship and To promote the
welfare Of our common country, for
whose honor we hope to live, and in
whose defense. if necessary. We are
prepared 10 die" PrOtestants say they
appreciate the fact that the plank truly
sets forth the position of the cardinal
himself
The second incident is the testi-
monial dinner given to the cardinal by
nom Catholics. In the list of those
who accepted invitations are several
members Of unity commissions. That
these members attend because of such
membership is not the case. If course.
and yet it is admitted that motives OF
unity. in the highest sense, are behind
those who tender the honor to the
cardinal In the list Of guests are men
of the first rank as citizens Of New
York. but in practically every name,
as far as made public. is foun1 that of
man who leads in Episcopal, Pres
byterian. Jewish, Lutheran or other
enterprises, and leads there not as
citizen merely, but as member Of the
religious bodies named. In the right
way. Protestant leaders feel sure these
incidents, the resolution and the din
ner, will make for freedom from dis
putes. and possibly a larger measure
of cooperation along some lines.
