NORTHERN VISITOR
PRAISES FITZGERALD
Best City In Fitzgerald

(ShelbyviIle, H., Daily Union)
Fitzgerald, Ga, April 25, 1914.
Fitzgerald is an up. to-date city
with 10000 population. 1t has all
the modern improvements. The
city covers an area of one and one
half square miles, around which
is q driveway almost as smooth
as a floor, largely used by automo-
bites, motor cycles and fine horses
Iand carriages. These roads are
prepared by removing the top soil
and thea filled in from the sandy
yellow subs,il from the bitches at
the de. Ihe top dirt is put into
the bitches. The result is no mud
or dust. Main street Of the city
is 100 feet wide, with a parkway
30 feet wide down the center curb
ed on both sides. Tie two rows
of trees consist Of liveoak, mag
nolia, umbrella, sycamore and
camphor trees. The avenue run
ming east and west Is also laid out
in the same manner. Sixteen blocks
of streets are paved with hexagon
concrete blocks, in two coIors.
The business buildings are SUBJ
stantially built of brick and con-
crete blocks, some of them being
five stories high.
There are IL churches-nlne for
whites and three for blacks. The
Baptist church is built of yellow
brick and cost $40, 900. There are
three good graded schools for
whites and one for colored children.
Six miles north of town there is
an experimental school and farm
for colored people where scientific
farming, mechanical trades and
cooking is taught. Fitzgerald owns
its own waterworks and electric
plant and has the best fire depart
ment in the state of Georgia.
Among the many enterprises there
are an opera house seating 5000
cotton mill making thread, two
newspapers, novelty works, two
cotton oil mills, fine court house,
FIVE hotels, etc. The city is neat
and clean and the people are friend
ly and hospiteble as YOU could
easily learn by attending one of
the churches, seeing the earnest
work of the members and hearing
the fine choir of sixty Or more
voices.
/ have been over the country
for a distance of s miles from Fitz-
gerald. The principal crops are
cotton, corn, Irish potatoes, sweet
potatoes, oats and pea hay. About
$4,000 bales of cotton IRE market
ed here at an average price of $50
a bale, making a total of 81. 100000
for this crop alone.

The block is bounded by Divi-

almost exclusively Polish. Louis

SINGLE STANDARD MORALITY

To many the single standard OF
morality means the privilege OF
women to participate with men il
an equally low standard of morals
Fortunately for this old world there
Is an actual double standard OF
morals which has been fixed by ma.
lure and which is recognized in the
laws of good men, Women ARE
capable of exemplifying higher
code of morals than are men, and
men are to that extent made better
through the beneficial influence with
which they are surrounded.
To preserve the innocence of wo-
manhood good men have provided
every protection which as law
siver, they could devise. Society

Jonathan Crabshaw's contribution to

for Paddington to "put It all over"
GreenVille in the matter Of Fourth Of

Then he kissed the little boy and

Mrs. Crabshaw looked at her hus-

body knew that he had plenty Of
money, but no one ever saw him spend
any of it. His wife, who was growing
feeble, was compelled to do her own
housework and get along upon the
barest necessities. He had driven his
son away from home and then blamed
him for not returning, humble and
penitent. Most of his time was spent
in his garden. It was the only thing
he semed to care for.
Having given his wife orders to
write that they had no place for their

granted that the matter was settled
and walked out Of the house.

THE FLAG

Let It IDLY droop or sway
To the winds light will;
F'url its stars, or float in day;
Flutter, or be still
It has held its colora bright.
Through the war-smoke dun;
spotless emblem OF the Right
Whence success ives won.
Let It droop in graceful rest
For passing hour
Glory's banner, last and best;
Freedoms freshest fowerl
Each red stripe has blazoned forth
Gospels writ In blood;
Every star has sung the birth
OF some deathless good.
Let it droop, but not too IonRI
On the eager wind
Bid it wave to shame the wrong;
To inspire mankind
With larger human love;
With a truth as true
AS the heaven that broods above
Its deep field Of blue.
In the gathering hosts Of hope,
In the march Of man,
Open for it place and scope,
Bid It lead the van;
Till beneath the searching skies
Martyr-blood be found,
Purer than our sacrifice,
Crying from the ground:
TIN nag with some new light
Out OF Freedoms sky,
Kindles, through the CULTS Of night,
Holier blazonry.
Let its glow the darkness drowni
Give our banner sway,
TIL its joyful stars go down,

All along the road to Lexington
from Cambridge, Mass, there are
monuments to rebel colonists who
slew British soldiers on April 10, in

which is raised to the memory OF
Samuel Whittemore. He was eighty
years Of age at the time, and he killed
three British soldiers with his own
hand. The stone records that for this
he received punishment Of three kinds.
He was shot, he was bayoneted and
he was beaten. He was then, reason
ably enough, left for dead. The old
fellow must have had a magnificent

most devoted optimist might envy.

THE ONE GUIDE POST.

When the fathers reared the fabric
Of their little republic here in the
new world wilderness, with the equal
ity Of men as its foundation, there
was not a state anywhere whicn
rested on that principle. On the con-
trary, 1t was denied by every other
nation. A few philosophers had
dreamed Of such country, but it
had no existence outside Of books
until adopted here.
And it was not put in practise even
here until years after 1t had been
proclaimed aA the ideal toward which
the infant republic was striving. There
was no political equality in any one
Of the Is original states, and negro
slavery continued for so years to
mock the ftst principle Of the Declara-
tion Of Inh dependence. But It stood,
and It evet stands. as the guidepost
on our only path toward progress. We
have denied It and turned back; de-
cried It and stumbled. At every step
forward We have had to follow it, even
though It led through four years Of
Ere.
