The Road Of The
TranSSreSSOr Is
Hard In Atlanta

Atlanta, July 22-While DR..
M. M. Lewis was performing
delicate and highly difficult opera
ton in the operating room of a
local hospital this morning, de-
tectlYes were waiting outside the
door to arrest him. They did not
enter for fear their errand might
unnerve the surgeon and thus en-
danger the life of the man who lay
unconscious beneath the knife.
But no sooner was the last stitch
taken than the officers entered and
put the surgeon under arrest.
The charge against him was that
he had brought young Carrollton
woman with him to Atlanta, and
that they had registered as man
and wife at a local hotel.
"Don't let papa know! He'll
kill DR.. Lewisl'' the girl pleaded,
but the chief Immediately wired
her father.

Citizen Criticises
Representative Paulk

EDITOR LEADER ENTERPRISE:
In this good year of 1918 we that
are accustomed to viewing the
many changes that are wrought
in the course of time were
not wholly prepared for tbs
events that have occurred in the
last few weeks, though we dwell
in Fitzgerald, the mother sheno-
minals.
Within our midst dwelt, lived
| and moved an individual whom,
given a casual glance, you would
discern nothing unusual, yet who
in the short weeks looms up a
NATIONAL figure in Ben Hill
county as an unselfish patriotic
statesman.
A man giving equal rights to
all Ito pay 81, 900 taxes and other
expenses) and special privileges
to none Except G. w. Rogers
A man whose superior knowledge
of the reformation needed in con-
Quoting the affairs of Ben Hill
county is such that he does not
have to consult the wishes of his
constituents, but just proceeds
with the aid of the REPRESENTA-
TIVE of Ben Hill and HIMSELF to
right the wrongs as he sees them
to exist in the county's govern
ment.
That he has succeeded goes
without saying. You did it, Rep
resentative, with your little
RATCHET. That wonderf full
achievement has been accomp-
lished; you can now recline upon
your laurels. Still there would
be nothing smfss in your getting
animated in 'SPLANING the where
fores and whereofs of your patri-
otto measure of saddling on the
taxpayers Of this county OVER
THEIR PROTEST and WITHOUT
THEIR RATIFICATION a bill of such
vital concern to every citizen in
The leader-enterprise. [volume] (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1912-1915, 1913-07-23

Now, don't try to use as a SUBJ
terfuge that the masses did not
protest. for they were depending
on you to look after their interest
that was one object in sending
you; that's what you receive your
$500 per diem and mileage for,
and not expecting to have to call
meetings over the county to petit
ton you to do right.
Saying the administration of
the county's business is not capa.
bly, managed is no excuse for your
conduct. am no apologist for
the present management, still l
consider a government, as a rule,
safer in the hands of three men
than one. The old adage, 1.-TWO
heads are better than one, even
should one be a sleeps head"
is truth often exemplified.
Why not just as well abolish the
office of sheriff because some Off
cial act does not meet your appro-
val and substitute some other
form of administration.
The show is now over; RAIL
RoADED through according to
program. Now the aftermath,
concluding will say but few men
be they ever so intellectual, but
time will add to their store of
wisdom.
AS to the appointment of Mr..
Geo. W. Rogers, conceeding him
to be a gentleman and emf lent
ly qualified to conduct the bust
ness of the county, he will begin
his labors greatly handicapped.
If elected by a vote of the people
he would have had a majority of
the citizens to sustain him in his
official capacity. AS it is, the
taxpayers will certainly look up
on him as a man thrust upon
them when in a helpless condition
by the official act and favors of

greater SAFETY ON
RAILROADS PLANNED

Washington, Jan. 3--The subcOm.
mittee of the House committee on In.
terstate and foreign commerce, ap-
pointed to inquire into the question of
safety appliance legislation, is to have
an important series OF hearings in
January. Many bills are before the
House. calling upon the interstate car
riers to introduce safety appliances of
all kinds. and II seems to be the de-
sire OF Congress to enact legislation
of this kind, provided the question can
be threshed out thoroughly, thus
throwing the requisite amount of light
upon It,
The testimony the subcommittee will
hear will aturally divide itself into
three general classes. First, the in
ventors will explain the merits of
their safety appliances and tell why
they think these appliances can be
adopted by the railroads without SER
ous Inconvenience or expense. Sec
ond, the safety appliance board of the
Interstate commerce commission will
be heard as to the need OF such ap-
pliances. and as to the merits OF the
work of the Inventors. Third, the
railroad mechanics and operators. In.
cludlng the expert operating officials
and some OF the general officers of the
big systems, will tell what they think
about further safety appliance legisla-
tion.

have the several branches Of railroad
