Remember April 2
FRoM ATLANTA JOURNAL


Every citizen Of Georgia who has
not already registered should do so
without further delay in order that
he may have ballot III the forth
coming primaries and elections.
The registration books will close
on April the second next. There
thus remains little more than a
month in which to qualify for voting.
Only those who are registered by
April the second will be entitled to
vote.
From the peoples point Of view
the year 1912 will be one of the
most important in the states politi-
cal history. There are to be held
primaries and elections for the pres
idency of the United States, the
governorship, and for various state
house and county Offices.
A special interest and signifi-
canoe attaches to the presidential
primary. For the first time the in
diyidual citizen of Georgia will be
invited to express his choice for the
Democratic party's presidential
nominee. No good citizen and true
Democrat should neglect such an
opportunity.
Unless, however, he is duly regis
tered by April second, he will have
excluded himself from this and from
all other primaries and elections of
the year.
The Georgia registration law is
eminently fair and wholesome. Its
purpose and its effect are to safe
guard the ballots purity and to pro-
mote honest Government. Far from
being arbitrary or unduly stringent,
it affords every voter an ample
chance to meet its requirements.
The registration lists are opened
in October along with the tax books.
Thus by April second the citizens
of Georgia will have had a full
year in which to register.
The fact of immediate signifi-
canoe. however, is that on April the
second the lists are to be finally
closed.
tits urgent, therefore, that every
one who is yet unregistered should
hasten to qualify.

To Lecture On Masonry.

The Savannah Past Master Ma5ons
Save planned to visit the Blue
LODGES in this section of the State
for the purpose Of discussing Ma
sonrv on its history, morality
and philosophy that it may more
closely cement fraternal relations
and increase interest in that great
order as well as advance its purposes.
The lecture viii chiefly relate to
Blue Lodge Masonry and will be alb
soIutely free to lodge visitors. The
cork has been approved by Grand
Master Geo. M. Napier.
Two or more Of these Past-Mas-
tiers will come to Fitzgerald and visit
Pine Level Lodge No. 353 on March
18th.
No CONTRIBUTION WILL BE SOLICITED
IN ANY WAY. as this is a purely vol
untary work, done for the love OF
Masonry.

Hoke Smith May Be
Leader Of tli1ogity
Progressive Wing Of Party Bent
OH Oustins Senator Martin
Cf Virginia.

Il Atlanta, Feb. 21-Atlanta politl-
clans, who follow closely the trend
of national affairs, are predicting
that Senator tIoke Smith. OF Geor-
Ola will become the minority leader
in the senate in the event the pres
ent effort TO GUST Senator Martin
from that post is successful.
They do not look, necessarily, to
seeLthe change consummated I'M
me- ad4y, Or at this session but
they la1hrd it as a tolerably sure
eventuality.
Senators Martin and Smith stand
. for Numerically opposite interpre-
tation of Democratic principles.
Senator '!artin, according to those
s~who oppose him, has always been
the friend of the interests" while
Senator Hoke Smith has always
been identified with the progress
sive" wing of the democratic party,
both in Georgia and national poll
tics.
If Martin is ousted it will mean
that the senators are against the
principles he is supposed to stand
for, and, by inverse reasoning, that
they will choose a man Of the other
views-if not Hoke Smith, then
some senator whose stand On pub
lie questions is the same as Hoke
Smiths.

Arm Broken

Mrs. C. M. Wise sustained a pain
full accident Sunday evening as a
result of some boys FRANKS.
On her way to the Baptist Church
about 7:30 o'clock, she tripped on a
wire that had been stretched across
the sidewalk near the church on the
north side of Magnolia street.
She fell on her arm, breaking it
near the elbow from which she has
suffered the severest pains. At
first it was not believed that the
arm was broken, but badly sprained
at the elbow, but was afterwards
found that the bone was broken,
and was reset by Drs. Keefer and
White.
Drs. Osborne, Keefer and White
were with her most of Sunday night,
but she is getting on nicely now.
The wire was evidently tied
across the sidewalk by boys who
expected to enjoy the fun of seeing
people fall over it. The boys sus.
pected will hardly own up and
consequently the little rascals will
never be known.

The Royal Quartette.

It was generally conceded by
all who attended the Motto
last night, that the Quartette sing
ing there the first three days Of this
week is by far the best attraction
of this kind ever heard here. Their
harmony is perfect, and they put
just enough comedy into their act
to give it zest. On every show last
night, the house rang with applause,
long after the curtain went down,
and they had responded to encore.

Street Paving.

Last night, at special meeting
called for the purpose, the city coun,
Gil passed an ordinance providing
for the ,,aving of four blocks. two
on Pine and two on Grant Street
one block each way from the First
National Bank
The Mayor informs us that the
called meeting was merely to hurry
I'D the matter before summer wealth
er, and simply co-incidental with
the absence of Mr.. w. r. Bowen. a
large property owner, who we underi
stand, is not so heartily in favor of
the paving. The Mayors explana-
ton was voucbsafed in answer to an
inquiry from the Enterprise as to
the precipitate action taken by the
council after several thousand years
without the paving
Any how we shall have the four
blocks of paving, and if a suficiency
of the spirit of rivalry can be aroused
between the Central Avenue people
and Pine street people we may have
more Of the paving in the near
future.
The weeks and months of wei
weather. with consequent mud beds
all over the graded streets of the
city have been used by the paving
advocates, as an argument thai
would not rub off.
The Enterprise, standing for the
advancement Of Fitzgerald since
the first paper published in shack
town, has not opposed the paving
movement, although we realize that
the action was being forced at q
time when we need other improve
ments of vastly more Importance
Mr.. Fl. S. Jaudon, Of Savannah
one of the bast known engineers il
the state, has contracted with the
city for the supervision of the work
which guarantees to our satisfaction
a clean deal and a good job.
The paving will be of vitrified
brick, and the contract has been let
to William Panni.I, paving contrac-
tor. The work will begin as soon as
the material can be laid on the
ground and finished within a few
weeks.

FitzSerald's Cotton Season

Fitzgerald ware houses have
handled this season about 10000
bales of cotton, and the compress
about 10000 bales. The cotton fac
tory is running on full time consum-
ing about 5000 bales; the cotton oil
mills have been running night and
day both doing a record business
and three big ginning plants have
been running at full capacity. Thus
it will be seen that cotton is quite
an item in Fitzgerald business.

500 Consuulptives Cause
Half Million Loss.

An actual money loss in wages
and institutional care of $500, O230d
sustained by the city of Boston and
by 500 male consumptives studied
by DR.. Edwin A. Locke and DR..
Cleveland Floyd Of the Out-Patient
Department of the Boston Consump-
tive Hospital. This is but one of
many interesting conclusions pre-
sented by these physicians in the
March Journal of the Outdoor Life,
New York;, the official organ Of
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
I0sis.
In order to ascertain the actual
economic loss from tuberculosis
Drs. Locke and Floyd selected at,
random 500 male cases, men who
had visited the dispensary during
the last five years. 244 Of the cases
studied were when the investigation
begun and 256 were living. Over
A per cent Of the men were be
tween the ages Of twenty and thir-
ty-nIne.
1t was found May 1, 1911, the
date of the investigation, that the
244 dead men had lost on an aver
age of 5803 weeks Of work from
the time of the onset Of their disease
until death. The average weekly
rate of wages Of these men was
.&lf.89 and their total loss in WAGES
amounted to S1759G5. The $50 Nv
ing cases each lost On an average
1913 weeks Of work at an average
wage of $11.38 or a total of $685.,
074, making $426,039 lost in wages
alone by both groups.
In addition to this large sum, 1t
cost the city of Boston $70,9M to
care for these 800 men in its public
hospitals and other institutions. This
community loss is exclusive OF the
large sums that were spent by prl-
vate organizations on 4O6 out OF
these 500 cases.
422 of the 500 men had families
with an average of 4.31 members
Commenting on this phase OF the
problem, the Investigators say:
The direct result on the family
income of the disability of the chief
bread winner is well shown by the
comparison of the totaIand average
weekly iGcome Of the 422 families
before the onset of illness and afteE'
the beginning of the stage of CON-
plete disability. In the first instance
the total weekly income from all
sources was $6807. 20 Or an average
of $3.50, while in the latter the
total weekly income was only So
O55, or an average of $7.86, a decline
of 65 per cent. One hundred and
sixty-one families were without III
come of any sort during the period
of complete disability of the patient,
while the total weekly income pre-
vious to this stage was 81 877.75."
If to all of these losses were added
the capitalized value of the earn,
ines cut off by death" Drs. Locke
and Floyd estimate that the loss of
the 244 dead case alone would bring
the total up to nearly $2,O0O.0O-
And if to these 500 cases actually
studied were added the $4,000 living
cases in Boston, they estimate the
loss to the individuals and the city
would amount to many millions OF
dollars.
These figures Of the economic loss
by tuberculosis, they conclude. pre-
sent the most complete Justification
for the money Boston Inns spent in
tuberculosis work, and show why
other communities should not hest.
tate for fear of expense to attack
the tuberculosis problem.

An Intruder Intos Their Jungle Retreat
Got Good Scare.

An Intruder Lntos Their Jungle Retreat,
Got a Good Scare.
In various parts of India monkeys
are regarded as objects Of worship.
One Of the principal monkey temples
is at Nuddea Such veneration Is
shown there to Huniman, the monkey
god, that visitors may not enter the
court Of the temple without removing
their shoes.
On one occasion an English officer,
in passing up the country near Mud
dea, CHANGED to stroll into a bamboo
jungle when his boat had "put to" for
the night He had not advanced far
before he heard terrific uproar all
about him, and he was not a little
alarmed to behold whole army of the
largest monkeys he had ever, seen
making toward him from all quarters.
Some jumped. on the ground before
him, others swung by the bamboos
over his head, and many closed up the
path in his rear. Several females had
young ones clinging to them, but this
fact did not seem to render them less
agile than the others.
The Englishman knew not what to
do He yelled at the top Of his voice
for assistance. To his Intense relief,
each time that he yelled the monkeys
retreated a bit. This encouraged him
to persevere in his shouting, but ne
observed that when he himself began
to retreat the monkeys would again
begin to close in upon him.
Then he stood still and gave one
tremendous shout, whereat the mon
keys went back again. This time the
man had gained fully twenty yards
and was about to repeat the call when
there appeared a new figure upon the
scene in the person Of an aged, de-
crepit woman hobbling through the
midst Of the animals.
This aged person shook two or three
Of the monkeys by the paws as she
passed. No sooner had she come with
| in hearing Of the Britisher than she
opened upon him the Walls Of her
wrath for disturbing the sacred ami
mails in their retirement. She babe the
| Intruder depart, and that quickly, an
order which he lost no time in execut
ing. The monkeys all seemed implicit
ly to obey the old woman's bidding
making way for the mans retreat.
The old woman, it appeared, was
employed by the Brahmans to supply
the monkeys with their food each day
They were worshiped by all the PEG
pie in the country round, who brought
offerings of rice and sweetmeats tt
them continually.-Harper's Weekly.

DANCING stars.

The spectroscope makes, the starry
heavens to the astronomers eye ap-
pear almost as full of may motions
as is a cloud of gnats dancing in the
sunshine. Every increase in the pow
er of the observing apparatus brings
to notice new spectroscopic binaries,
which are simply double stars that
cannot be seen separately either be-
cause of their extreme closeness or
because only one of them is shining
body. 1t is the erratic motions of
these stars that reveal their true
character. One of them discovered
within recent years is Eta Orionis,
which hangs just below the belt of
Orion. Sometimes this star is speed
ing toward the earth more than forty
miles a second and a few nights later
is hurrying away with similar veloc-
ity.-New York Sun.
