Feb 81, 1920.
Dear Patron:
Pursuing the policy which has directed our efforts
since our opening day, of giving our customers the
very best of service the greatest choice and variety
of groceries at the lowest prices consistent with good
business and fair margin of profit, we are inaugu-
rating new order in this establishment
1t has been demonstrated beyond question that the
store or grocery wherein the credit system prevails
must charge sufficient additional per cent of profit
the goods sold to take of paying for the goods
sold to those people who do not cannot pay their
bills 1t is further patent to the economic housewife
and good business man that the credit system en-
tails keeping of great number of books of account
the collecting of accounts, and on which of
takes the time of one more employees. All this
must be paid for by you who pay your bills.
The total cost of doing credit business approx
mates Is per cent and above the 'for cash"
tail price. And so we are doing away with our credit
business we are installing strictly cash business
system and we deducting from the price of every
single article in Stock the per cent that it has
previously cost and cost you, to do credit busi-
ness
We are sure we will please you with our new plan.
1t has very great many additional beneficial fea-
lures but the chiefest benefit is the direct and
tain saving of big per cent on your groceries.
Trusting you will permit us to you further,
and that we will please you with our new system,
are Yours very truly,

LOCAL SCHOOLS
| OPEN WITH LARGE
ATTENDANCE
Work Began Under Difficulties With
Several Teachers Failing to Report
For Duty.

Il
More than twelve hundred pupils
presented themselves yesterday at the
different school buildings of the city,
croWding almost every room to ca
pacity, with the lower grades exceed
ing the seating capacity of the rooms.
The rapidly growing school population
was evidenced in several of the build
ings, when some of the teachers were
puzzled to find seats for sixty or more
in their class rooms.
In the Second ward building carpen-
tiers are engaged to complete two adj
ditional class rooms, which, when COM
pleted will relieve the situation in that
ward. On account of the unusual de-
mand of the teachers yesterday, SUI
perlntendent Hall was unable to Sc
cure a detailed enrolment in each
building for this issue Of the Leader,
but it will appear in Fridays issue,
with the complete list of teachers.

ELECTION PROCEED.
MGS ORDERLY; BIG
VOTE POLLED

The battle is on, with every effort
being made by the friends of the va
rlous candidates to land their man.
Though a large crowd of voters were
congregated all day at the polls, no
unpleasant disturbances have been re-
ported, and the good humor of the
crowd is a credit to the citizenrv OF
Fitzgerald.
The local election is being managed
by Chairman J. D. Dorminey of the
County Executive Committee, and
Messers J. R. Horton and E. D. Paulk
with Messers w. o. Blackwell, Frank
James and VIM. Mashburn acting as
clerks.
At this writing it is impossible to
forecast the results, the Australian
ballot system being used here. Smith
and Dorsey supporters are claiming
the district for their candidates, which
Ct course is also being claimed by the
supporters of Mr.. Watson. ,Clicord
Walker for Governor seems to have
lead on his next nearest opponent,
Mr.. Hardwick, Holder being conceded
trailing far to the rear of his oppo-
nents. The weather being ideal il is
expected the country vote will also be
heavy, making the final outcome much
in doubt. The race for representative
tor Ben Hill county will probably re-
suit in the election of Tom Luke by
something over hundred majority,
according to most of the election ex-
perts around the polls.

OClLLA, Sept. Mrs. E. L. Cald-
we'll and Miss Lillian Whitley were
painfully injured in an automobile
wreck at Waycross yesterday. They

tempting to pass another car in front
OF him, ran into telephone pole and
completely demolished the car.
The top of the automobile struck
Mrs Caldwell in the face, breaking her
jaw bone and knocking out several of
her teeth. Her face was badly LAGER
ated and her body badly bruised. Miss
Whitley was thrown from the car and
was very painfully bruised, but no
bones were broken. They are at the

ness OF their injuries has not yet been
determined.

Smith Supporters Failed to Make an
Appearance

Although the meeting at the court
house last night was originally called
by supporters of Senator Hoke Smith,
, L. +. WIS stalwart guard was on hand,
H. occupying front seats to give zest to
$ne meeting. When the time for OPEN
ing the meeting arrived Smiths sup
porters failed to make themselves CON
splcuous, and the meeting was taken
charge of by Col A. ]. Mcdonald, who
gntroduced Col. Terry Hendricks of
Valdosta, who came to espouse the
cause of Democracy and Governor
Hugh M Dorsey.
COL Hendricks made splendid
speech. His diction and delivery is
captivating and filled with enthusiasm
Tor his cause made a strong plea for
the election of Mr.. Dorsey. Mr.. Hen
bricks confined his appeal largely to
the League of Nations, the foremost
plank in the Democratic platform, and
insisted that all true democrats must
be judged by their fealty to this plank
In their party's platform.
The speaker fayed the inconsistent
position occupied by Senator Hoke
Smith, which especially delighted the
followers of T. E. W., who made up
the major part of the audience. When
Mr.. Hendricks reached Mr.. Watson's
case his followers began to cheer and
tor while it seemed that the meeting
would get beyond control of the speak
er, who, however, with rare tact and
diplomacy finally convinced the enth,i-
siastic Watsonites that to be consist
ent with their plea for FREE
SPEECH they must give the opposi-
ton to their candidate the same right
which they are rightfully claiming for
themselves, and the speaker was al
lowed to continue without further in
at the conclusion of the speech Mr.
Hendricks, the chairman, threw the
meeting open to such others who wish
ed to be heard, and Attorney M. Gold
berg rose and in behalf of Watson and
Hardwick answered the speaker to the
full satisfaction of the adherents OF
these gentlemen

LETS BREAK THE COMBINE

During the past two or three years the territorial officials at Juneau have steadily encroached upon the business of other towns by attempting to cen tralize everything at the capital city. which adds greatly to the receipts of the firms at Juneau. First the bu- reau of publicity was organized. witt, a lavish appropriation, practically every cent of which has been spent at Juneau with Juneau firms. The bene
 fits to any other part of Alaska have been so negligible that the only effec: in abolishing the office would be to GU: off revenue from Juneau printeries. .Then came the fiasco of 1918, when the legislature turned over the funds of the divisional road commission ers to the territorial officers with head.
