SEX INSTRUCTION in SCHOOLS.

Catholic Bishop Muldoon OF Rock
ford successfully resisted attempt to
introduce sex education in one OF the
small towns OF his diocese By court
process and his success is afordins
encoura cement to Catholics elsewhere
to resist what they are set against, In
like manner.
The attitude OF opposition taken by
Catholics has ELECTED from Des
MONIES superintendent Of schools the
statement that lectures there will be
confined to practical hygiene and that
no attempt would be made to teach
eek hygiene. DR.. w. A. Guild return

May Celebration
Will Be Success.

Final arrangements for the
May Festival tomorrow have beer
made, even to the minutest de-
tails. and everything points to
one of the most magnificent pag-
eants that has ever been held in
a South Georgia city.
That the parade and the exer-
cises following at the opera house
will be gorgeous, expresses it
lightly. There will be numerous
floats, the decorations of which
will eclipse anything ever seen in
Fitzgerald. The parade will be
at least a mile long. and the en-
tire procession will be photo
graphed for the moving picture
houses. Every effort has been
put forth to get a large crowd to
the city for the festivities, and
in case of pretty weather, there
is no reason why several thousand
visitors shouldn't be here.
The horse races and motorcycle
races in the morning will prove a
drawing card, and to those who
love the sport, a fine time is in
store. The races begin at 1880
at the race track and are abso-
lutely free. The parade will be-
gin at $3.50.

The State Of Berrien Secedes
Z Fishermen in Revolt

The native fishermen around
Banks pond in Bierrien county
have registered strenuous OBJ
.iections to the interference with
their time honored custom to fish
when they please and where
they please. Banks pond has
been a rendezvous for ages for
the lover Of the sport of fishing
and t h e Inauguration Of the
Game and Fish act, Which pro-
vides against fishing without q
permit, seriously interferes with
the common pursuit Of a great
many citizens living in the
neighborhood of that great fish
preserve. There are said to be
about 10, 900 acres n the pond,
which abound in fish of every
known species common in the
waters of the State. A special
warden sent out by the State
Department secnred evidence
against some twenty two balig-
Grant fishermen in and arou nd
Midtown and swore out state
warrents for them. When the
cases were called for trial by the
justice of the peace, matters
became so strenuous that it
was thought best to withdraw
the warrants to avoid a serious
conflict between the game war
den and the excited fishermen
Subsequently Other warrents
wee issued and the cases will
come up for trial at Nashville on
May 10TH. Game Commissioner
Mercer promises to be on hand
at the trials and see that the
laws are enforced and that
his deputies will get the proper
protection.
fhe case is very much like the
Reelfoot case Of Tennessee, but
every effort will be made to
avoid a recurrence of the tragic
features historic case.

Governor Elect Says GeOr-
gas Credit Is Second to
No Other State in
The Union


Atlanta, Ga. May 6-In an IL
terview given out today, Cover
nor elect Jno. M. Slaton expresses
confidence that the State of Geor-
gia will experience no difficulty in
the re-funding and re-issuing of
the SO. SO, 900 of the states bonds
which will fall due in 1915, during
his administration.
The Governor-elect has been
studying the financial situation
and making preliminary inVestfga-
ton with the result that he says
ne finds Georgia's credit is second
to none other in the Union. "Per-D
sonally | would like to say the
new bonds taken up in Georgia"
he says. "They would be state,
county and municipal tax free and
exempt from the federal income
tax. Their purchase by Georgians
would be gratifying tribute to
the State within itself. However,
that may be, there seems now no
reason to suspect that the refund
ing of the bonds will be effected
in anything other than the happiest
of circumstances. "
If it becomes necessary to have
the new bonds taken up in the
north, according to Governor
Slaton, there will be no difficulty
ia doing so. ga thing that seems
to particularly interest the bankers
and financial kings of the north,
he says, sis Georgia's constitution
al prohibition against any increase
of the states bonded debt. Anota-
err feature that they will take into
consideration is the fact that
they will take into consideration
is the fact that Georgia constitu
tiona.ly pledges all the states
property, even including the eS-
ecutive mansion and the Western
e. Atlantic Railroad to the pay
ment of the states bonds. No
other state can hope to surpass
and few to equal the genuine and
substantial security Georgia offers
for its bonds. We have constantly
decreased them and have indicated
a wise and conservative insistence
upon the payment of our debts. "
Under the law lit is necessary
to determine this whole matter in
advance of the maturity of the
bonds and therefore provision
must be made for the refunding,
either by the legislature which
meets this summer, or by the SEES
sion which immediately succeeds
it.
