Champions Lose
To National Leaguers

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 10.-The
Phillies are today victors over the
champion Athletics in the intercity title
series having gotten enough runs in the
fourth inning of yesterdays game to
win out easily By 10 to score. The
Phillies have won four of the six games
played.
Manager Mack evidently did not care
to regard the game in the light of any
thing more than practice, for he used
Krause in left field, placing Strunk IN
center, and filling in with Holmes on
third. Eagan did the backstopping with
Houcll and Brown in the box. Houcil
was hit hard from the outset and only
thre clever double plays saved him
from being scored upon.
In the fourth inning the Phillies got
hits galore. and succeeded In piling up
Z runs. The Phillies used thirteen men
during the game. Lobert was hurt. ana
retired in favor of Walsh, who got n
hit in his one time at the bat.

TO Farmer Subscribers

The Enterprise hopes that the
farmers of Ben Hill county will take
and read more farm journals this
year than they have done before.
There are many very fine publica-
tons, and indeed we do not know
a sorry one, a single farm paper
that is not worth to any farmer
much more than its subscription
price. There is information, inSpi-
ration, and helpful suggestions in
every one of them. They go long
way towards making farm life more
pleasant, agreeable and profitable.
We are not selling any farm jour-
nails, but we will, without charge,
secure any farm paper that a sub
scriOer of the Enterprise may WISH
to take at a nominal price.

A loved one is gone.

Word was received in this city
Wednesday of the passing away of
Mrs. Eugene W. Stetson, of Macon,
of scarlet fever, after an illness of
ten days.
A few years ago this estimable
family were residents of Fitzgerald,
Mr.. Stetson being cashier of the
Exchange National Bank. Resign
ing his position here they moved
back to Macon, their former home.
Mrs. Stetson was well and person
ally known to a large circle of
friends. To know her was to love
her; an in her sudden death Heaven
has gained a jewel, and we on earth
have lost one whom we tet derby low
ed for her pure every day life among
us and the pure love we cherished
for the now departed loved one.
With the husband and the two
little children, this community
mingIe their tears in the passing
away of loving wife and doting
mother.

Imprisonment of Little London
Lawyer May Plunge Europe
Into Strife

London, Feb, GA tide OF anger
is raging throughout England over
the sentence of three and a half
years confinement in a fortress,
passed by the German imperial
court at Leipsig, upon Bernard
Stewart. London lawyer, on a
charge of espionage. The feeling
aroused has reached such a height
that there is possibility that the In
cident will prove the breaking point
of lo-German hostility.
E.. The fact cannot be overloaded
that newspapers representing both
of the great political parties OF
clamoring for government action IN
Stewards behalf
The matter will be brought up in
the house of commons as soon as
parliament meets, unless some
thing should be done by the govern
ment in the meantime.
British feeling has been infiam-
ed about the affair because the
trial took place mostly lin secret.
The only witness against Stewart
was Belgian, who is reputed to be
a professional spy and is known to
have served several terms in prison.
The theory here is that the Belgian
entrapped Stewart for the purpose
of getting paid for turning informer.

The New Baptist Church
Interesting Ceremonies Wednesday

The city or town without churches,
Sunday schools and public schools,
would indeed be a sorry place for a
man and his family to make 1t their
home. Churches and public schools
are the advance guard in this and
all countries of civilization. With
out them there is scarcely nothing
worth living for. The house of God
is where we take the first step and
make ready for our exit from this
temporary home to one beyond
the skies that is eternal. Blessed
hope! the beacon-star that guides
us to do right and live a Christian
life with the HOPE of Heaven the
goal
With these thoughts in view we
turn over a page, and announce that
the initial step was taken last
Wednesday for the erection OF the
S9arge and handsome new First Bap-
fist church building on the. site
near where the old building now
stands.

University Glee Club
A Sparkling Program

The University of Georgia Glee
Club, numbering thirty-fve strong
" i'll give a 9h-grade entertainment
consisting of vocal and instrument
tai selections, at the court house
Saturday night,
It was by accident, we might say,
that this celebrated GIee Club was
secured to give an entertainment
in Fitzgerald, as the date here was
an off night, hence the music-loving
people of this city can congratulate
themselves that they will have the
privilege of listening to a rare treat
in store for them.
The students are Georgians by
birth, and the object OF their tour
over the state is to advertise the
University of Georgia. They have
given entertainments in various
cities of the State. They will be at
Valdosta Friday night and in this
city Saturday.
They come to Fitzgerald with the
highest recommendations as eXcep-
tionally sweet singers and artists on
various musical instruments, and
all are gentlemen as the word i'm
plies.
The students will arrive in this
city about noon Saturday, and upon
the arrival will be met at the depot
and given an auto-ride over tire city.
Sometime before or after the con-
cert, the students will be given a
reception by Mr.. L. L. Griner at his
palatial home. We trust that our
citizens generally will join with Mr..
Griner and others and make it as
pleasant for the students as possible,
We trust the young ladies of this
city will take the lead in this mat
ter, for, girls, you don't know but
what your future husband may be
among the bunch Of sweet singers.
The court room will be decorated
with the University colors, Red and
Black, and everything made COM
Portable for all who attend. Kind
and generous patronage will cause
the students to have kind words to
say of Fitzgerald and her generous
people.
