THAT BIGGEST TRIP OF OURS

mai D1GGES1 RlP OF OUkS-ENerV one
OF the school boys know that in the space of 365
days year, this Jolly old earth of ours-iolly not
wthstanding the efforts of trouble distillers to
make it a hell-travels clear around the sun, keep
ing the good safe distance of ninety-three million
miles from him. We all learned that at school
and bother no more about it all our lives
But just how the scientific fellows are worry
ing their heads over another question While we
travel all around him, the sun is at the same time
shooting off in straight line towards some point
IN space, leaving behind him track four hundred
million miles long and dragging the earth and the
other planets he governs, after him. The fact is.
of course, not new but what the scientists are now
worrying about is
Where is the sun going? WHERE will that
four hundred million miles year journey finally
land hnl-and us?
We should worry because they all agree that
with all his speed, he can't reach Vega the
universe system in his path, in less than two mil
lion years
But, dye mind, the great sun Vega. which could
swallow our sun and not notice it at all, is also
travelling bit himself. He is bound somewhere
too, and is in great hurry about it, so that when
our sun and earth reach the heavenly spot of his
1921 location, he may have gone clear beyond our
sight even with telescopes. Nothing sociable
about old Vega
Well, we're willing for the scientists to worry
about such things. But they are interesting to
hear about once in while

THE PASSING OF THE DREADNOUGHT-

THE PASSING OF THE DREADNOUGHT-|
In navy tests the other day two 1000 pound bombs
peace the skill in their work that will make Amer
battleship one of the best in the old German navy,
which was being used as a target in the test.
Neither bomb made direct hit, but the impact
of the explosion in the water the ship opened
its seams and caused it to sink At present prices
it would cost about $3O,OOO,OOO to duplicate that
huge dreadnaught. The hirplane that dropped
the bombs cost about $1,000. The bombs cost
about that much more, If the navy department
went into airpane and bomb production on
large scale the costs could be reduced to fourth
of that sum and $500 worth of arplane and bomb
could destroy $25yOOO0OO worth of battleship any
day in the week and still have the arplane left
in as good shape as before The day of the ex-
pensive dreadnaught is gone. The light, fast and
mobile airplane is the chief war machine of the
age. The United States government has been
spending annually more money on dreadnaughts
than all the states have been spending on educa-
ton. War preparation has cost the people more
in taxes than all the schools and colleges of the
country And the old style of war preparation
benefited no one.
The world has moved and from this good day
henceforth it will be possible to American
armament, the larger part of it, for peace pur-
poses. This is unitarian age. Efficiency is
the high goal of all commercial and government
al effort. We can have real efficiency in arma-
ment. The vast fleets of arplanes can be used by
the postal service in time of peace All first class
mail be carried by airpane in half the time it
is now carried by train. The flyers will learn in
peace to skill in their work that will make Amer
lea supreme in the air if war should come. And
the air fleets will pay for themselves during time
Of peace All the ships that America might
need in time of war; troop ships and munitions
ships and few fast armed ships can be devel-
oped out of the government owned merchant
marine. In peace they can carry American freight
on the seven seas of the world. In war they can
perform military duty. The heavily armed and
armored battleship is of no more use. A two
two million dollar ship with one or two big rifles
to throw shells twenty-five miles will be as effec-
tive in future wars as will the $50OO0OOO or $50
100000 floating fortresses They won't be any
easier to sink and the loss will not be so heavy il
they do sink.
Congress will do we'll to see that no more OF
the American peoples money is wasted in build
ing huge and expensive piles of iron and stee
that can be of no service.

Why We Need A City Court
By Sydney Clare)

lawyer of his day said to me, always
avoid litigation, Losing cocks lose

Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ben Hill County, Ga.) 1921-1964, 1921-07-29

Mr.. Wesley Walkers objection to
the City Court, is in a way we'll taken.
Owing to the procrastination of the
tax payers, the time between the pass
ing of the bill and the opportunity for
the people to ratify it is too short.
This is not a bond election, it is a
matter of real interest to every tax
payer, it is matter of vital import
to the women voters who are SO in
terested in the schools, they are not
aware of the possibility this court op-
ems up. The court that Mr.. Walker
abolished was entirely under the fee
system, although the court did real
service and actually made money,
whenever a fund accumulated it was
pounced on by the officers. Negroes
were herded into court under trivial
charges or no charges at all and the
surplus accumulated was swept away
in insolvent costs.

a salary ought also to have put the
clerk and sheriff on salary in which
case the opportunity for graft would
have been eliminated. The voters
can still have their representatives
to amend this bill. In the meantime
the taxpayers can have an under
standing with the Clerk, (Wiley
Whitley if the court is prostituted as
in former times he will report it and
a way will be found to alter it. Court
is held every month but juries are
only summoned four times year or
less. Thirty six jurors are used
against one hundred and twenty-five
in the Superior Court. The clerk and
sheriff fees are less in proportion, it
has the same jurisdiction as the SUI
perior court except in land and fell
ony cases,

COURT AT NEWPORT

Newport, Sept. 6.-The fall term of the Jackson circuit court convened at Newport Tuesday, with the largest
 iocket in several years. Judge Dene H. Coleman presided with Hugh U. Williamson, prosecuting attorney, looking after the states interests. Both officers in their charges to jurors were bitter in their denunciation of the carrying of pistols, resulting, in many instances in murders. The prosecution of illicit whiskey sales and manufacture was another charge to the men of both juries. There were lO0 criminal and no civil cases to be heard.

 GOES INTO DITCH
Several Cars Leave Track Near Penter's Bluff But
 No One is Injured

FIVE ARRESTS MADE
 IN MURER CASE
Officers Hope to Unrayel Mystery Surrounding Jack
 son County Murder

Newport, Sept. 6.-In the trial to come before the pres ent term of court of Jackson county in the case of Paul Curtis and Otis Harper,young men men held in connection with the murder of Jesse Ford, who was shot while sit- ting at he supper table one year ago, developments are unraveling rapidly.
 Paul Curtis, who was brou- ght from the State peniten- iary Monday was returned there early Tuesday morning in company with Otis Harper, another man implicated, it is said, in the affair. The two will be kept there until the case is heard, which prob ably will be the third week of the term.
 New arrests in the case are Lint Osborne, Mark Harper and Hugh Mound. Each of these men are confined in separate cells and held with out bail. The case will prob ably be the most important to come up at the present term.
 Jesse Ford, while sitting at the supper table with his bride of a few weeks was shot through the heart with a Al calibre pistol, the shot having been fired in the dark and through the window. The tragedy occurred one year ago. Until recently no clue to the murder could be unrav- eled by the officers.

OIL TROUGH AGAIN
 DAMAGED BY STORM
Two Barns, School Building and Church Damaged We'd
 nesday Afternoon

The second storm within a year visita the Dunnington and Oil Trough communities Wednesday afternoon though the wind did not do the dam- age that attended the disas- trous cyclone in March when several persons were serious ly injured and many houses and buildings blown away.
 No one was injured by the storm Wednesday afternoon. The wind travelled the same path taken by the cyclone in March, going down the Dun- nington lane toward Meadow lake. The barn of s. L. Brownlow was wrecked, and large quantities of corn and hay were scattered about the nearby fields.
 A man named Pankie sus- tained a considerable loss when his barn was blown down. At Oil Trough the Methodist church was wreck ed, and the school house was damaged. An addition being built to the school house was completely torn away. A hay shed on the W. P. Jones farm was blown down. No loss of stock is reported. The storm was accompanied by a heavy rain. Crops in the path of the wind were injured.
