The net receipts for April we, e

The receipts for these three months
show a decided increase over those
for March, which were $162,S97.a4.
Mr.. Bugg was only appointed receiv-

between the receipts for the first and

The report also showed that the

Rockefeller Worth
Two Billion Dollars
Author Declares Dynasties in Eu-
rope Are Dead, but Not in America

NEW YORK, August 10. - John
d. Rockefeller's wealth is estimated
at s., 4OO,0O0,0OO, by Henry H. Klein,
whose book, "Dynastic America and
Those Who Control 1t" was made
public here
The book, an argument for the
Theodore Roosevelt amendment "to
limit excess private fortunes" men,
toned Rockefeller as the king of
all the money kings on the earth"
Mr.. Rockefeller is the col1usus
that bestrides the business world"
the book declares. 1t lists Rocker
feller's wealth as follows:
Standard Oil and other securities
$1.OO0OOO,OOO.
Railroad stocks and bonds. $780,
100000.
Industrial corporations, m
and banks. $4OO,OOOOOO.
National state, city and foreign
bonds. $30O,0OOOOO.
Public utilities securities. $780,
100000.
Real estate and mortgages. $780,
100000
Much of this. the author says. has
passed into the hands of the magnets
relatives.
Other private fortunes are ana
lyzed in much the same fashion al
though Rockefeller claims the most
space because of the size of his for
tune and the ramifications through
which the author pursues it.
"This book" says a foreword,
proves that wealth is concentrated.
History reco-cs that the decl...o of
civilization in nation begins with
wealth concentration.
"Dynamistic Europe is dead but
the Dynasties in America flourish
Theirs is the power of life and death
over the whole human race"
The Gymnastics" listed by Klein
include oil, copper, beef, coal steel
railroads, gas light, ships, traction,
tobacco, telephone and telegraph.
There are excessive real estate
fortunes in every large city in the
country" the author states.

Surprise Store Getting

The Surprise Store was closed all
day today, with a big force of clerks
busily engaged in arranging the inter
ior for the big sale which starts at 9
a. M, Thursday morning. A large
force of extra clerks have been en-
gagged to expedite the sale as the ex-

attract an immense crowd to the OPP

good values, Mr.. CARRIER states that
this is his premier effort to give the
people of this section the most for
their money they ever secured at any

Taper in Fitzgerald was the cause
, of his departure
Stewart is a capable newspaper
man having been associated with
several of the best editors in Geor-
gia. He was managing editor of The
Athens Banner, the morning daily
newspaper in Athens. before he came
home last October with the intention
of assisting Editor Isidor Gelders
in launching daily newspaper for
Fitzgerald. Lack of cooperation on
the part of certain business people
of the city who took exception to

the strike made it impossible to put
the daily successfully on its feet.
In Athens, Stewart will be associat-
ed with Mr.. Ear Braswell, at one
time city editor for the Leader which
position he resigned to accept posi-
ton with the Augusta Chronicle.
About four years ago Mr.. Braswell
became City Editor OF the Augusta
Herald, a paper owned by the same
syndicate which lately has purchased
the control of the Banner. the morn
ing paper in Athens, and who were
the owners of Athens afternoon pa

now under the personal management
of Mr.. Braswell. Mr.. Braswell is a

remembered here.

leaving their arms at home when
serving as pickets. Your letter as
sures us that compliance with this re-
quest will secure your cooperation
and protection against any disadval
tageous attacks or assaults"
The undersigned, speaking for the
men and women on strike, are yer
happy to inform you that your letter
was presented at meeting which was
attended by $50 strikers, and they
unanimously accepted it and agreed
to comply strictly with your request.
Our men generally are citizens of
Fitzgerald. many Of them are tax
payers, an therefore we want to do
everything within our power to CO.
operate with you gentlemen and any
other in the proper compliance and
enforcement of law and order, be-
cause the 400 men and women went
out on strike in opposition to an act
on the part of the railway which was
clearly a violation of the Transporta-
ton law certainly does not indicate
that we are not respective of law and
order. Many of us have lived in this
community twenty years and more,
ad during that time we have shown
by every act that at least we stand on
par with any other citizen in the
community and therefore the men
and women who are on strike feel that
they are entitled to the respect of ev-
cry man in the community who be-
lieves in orderly procedure.
We certainly appreciate the court
ly manner in which you approached
us and can assure you and your asso-
ciates that the men under our juris-
diction will always respond to a call
of this kind, because we know they
are right principles an right conduct.
If friendly offers of this kind had
been offered thirty days ago we feel
very confident that the morale and
peace of the community would not
have been disturbed.
Sincerely,
w. M. MARTIN,
Gen. Chairman Federated Com.

About Those Weeds

Fitzgerald, Ga, Aug. 9, 1921.
Mr. l. GelGers.
Dear Sir:
l notice on the editorial page OF
your paper piece in regard to the
cleanliness of our little city. There
is one place that l don't agree with
you, and that is telling the other
fellow about the filth he has on his
place. Because he is liable to give
you punch in the jaw and tell you
to mind your own business.
1 think in that case it would be
best for the Officials of our town
that are getting paid to look after
the upkeep and sanitary conditions
to compel people to rid their prem
ises of weeds and fifth of all kinds
When you get off the pavement in
this town you can't go over two
thirds of the sidewalks here without
wading in weeds knee high and lots
OF places higher. Why don't the
Officials of this town compel the
people to clean up?
Not clean up c1ce year but
make them keep their places cleaned
up. That's what they are getting
paid for. There is not day passes
but what l hear strangers criticisine
the citizens and officials of this towr
for letting it run down like it has
We could have the cleanest little
city in the South if every body
would get together and put theil
shoulder to the wheel. But they will
not do it until they are forced to.

lied to dictate or interfere with the

whom you are the general chairman,

realize that if the present situation
continues between the former employ

than serious trouble will occur in the

can be adjusted in such a manner that
the good law abiding citizens and tax
payrs of our city and county of
which many of you are part, can be
relieved of heavy burden of taxation
which ultimately will be the result, if
the present expense of our city and
county is not curtailed.
The request we are going to ask of
you is done with only the kindest of
feeling of Friendship toward you OF
the men you represent, as we suppose
that you are aware of the fact, that
we took this matter up with quite a
lengthy consultation with Mr.. Corn
