MERCHANTS ARE
DELIGHTED OVER
BIG CELEBRATION

Local merchants expressed them
selves as highly gratihed over the eel
ebratlon OF independence day, "Splen-
did. hugh, grand, wonderful" and the
superlatlve degree of all the adiec-
tives were used by Fitzgeralds con-
sentative merchants to express their
opinions of the celebration and the
day in general. Compliments were
showered on the Chamber OF Com
merce and on its secretary manager.
Mr.. f. Y. Clarke, for his efficient and
able management of the myriad de-
tails of the days program.
A few of the opinions expressed bv
the merchants follow:

THOUSANDS TAKE PART
IN CELEBRATION. SEN
ATOR|AL CANDIDATES
IN JOINT DEBATE

With "whiz" and bang" the
Fourth of July celebration in Fitz-
gerald swept aside all past records
yond the expectations of any citizens
in the community. The weather was
ideal and the crowd is variously es-
ti1nated at from fifteen to twenty
tlve thousand. One body of business
men got in an automobile about 200
o'clock and went all over the city and
the aviation field carefully estimating
ahe crowd at every place and they ex-
pressed themselves as convinced that
ut ZOO p. m. at Fitzgerald and the
aviation I'D combined, there were
people in attendance.
The crowd was good natured and
no trouble of any kind arose during
the day and only four arrests were
registered.
1t was gratifying to all concerned
with the celebration that every adver-
tised event took place and on larger
scale than advertised.
The Fourth of July celebration for
the year 1918 has established fact
in the minds of the citizens of Fitz-
gerald and the public at large that
Fitzgerald is capable of handling an
event of proportion and that the city
is really the leader of the cities of this
section, and the key city of the sec
ton.
All the big city daily papers of Fri
day morning were filled with the re-
ports of the wonderful day in Fitz-
gerald and it was freely admitted by
all that the greatest Fourth of July
in Georgia was held at Fitzgerald.
A feature of the day which was very
gratifying to the citizens of Fitzgerald
was the fact lit thousands of the
friends of the citizens Of the COM
lluniuy who had not visited Fitzgerald
in years came to town and renewed
old acquaintanG)s. 1t was happy
reunion.
The exercises Of the day were start
ed at $3.50 in the morning by a con-
cert by the Fitzgerald band, which
PLAYED throughout the day. The
splen&id musical numbers of the band
were a big surprise to most of Fitz-
gerald's citizens who had known that
there was band but did not know its
quality Captain Cutter commanded
seventeen pieces, ali local talent.
After an interesting drill by the
Boy Scouts under Fire Chief Wilker-
son, who has the boys trained to reg
ular army precision, Attorney Gener
al Clifford Walker, of Atlanta, deliv
cred a patriotic address under, the
flag pole in front of the post office, a
fitting prelude to the reading of the
Declaration of independence and
reading of Ben Hills honor roll of
302 boys in their country's service and
to the raising of the magnificent serv
ice flag of the country. Sen. O.. Il:
Elkins read the names of Ben Hill
countys heroes and presented the
flag for the Chamber of Commerce
with fitting remarks.
The monster parade imme diately
followed these demonstrations 1t
was indeed the most magnificent that
Fitzgerald has seen in years, and un-
