HUTTON


5e-s5ss5s 5eoc5S'S eIe'
The Lang-Horton Athletic ASSOC
alton met its Waterloo in Oakland on
Saturday afternoon last when the
Oakland aggregation defeated them
by score Of 14-3. Naturally this
was anticipated, as Hutton had put
it Over on Oakland a few weeks car
lier with a score that amounted to
even more than that Of Saturday. The
return game was all that could be de-
sired, with the exception that the
Hutton boys flunked in the last naIt
Of the third inning and instead Of
keeping the Giants on Level without
a score to their favor, ''pegscd" the
ball WITHOUT precision as t. time or
distance. 1t was mostly due to these
errors and the errors Of ne irticld
that occasioned Oakland to score as
heavily as they did.
Mr.. Charles E. Hanst, of Haywood,
efficient third baseman, was right on
the job and as usual made scre vcty
brilliant plays throughout the game.
Mr.. Hanst is affiliated with the Lang
Horton team and is indeed Il star that
we are proud to possess. The defeat,
far from dispiriting our boys, has
spulTed them on to even greater
achievements than those they have
already won in the overwhelming
victories Of the first three games
played here this season, nqwoI5 Crcl-
lin, Oakland and Aurora. 1t is their
intention to make up for the game
lost at Oakland on Saturday by chaI-
longing and defeating tears os Just
such calibre as the Oakland team. It
was surely Oakland's lucky day as
everyone on the team did excellent
work.
Frantz and Spates won first honors
by scoring three runs each, while FEY.
Funk and John Collins were second IN
the lead with scores of two runs each
to their credit Walter Hoyt, a ball
player, held up his reputation.
1t was a mighty fine game and the
crowd who witnessed c could not aeip
but enjoy it.

Memorial Shelter to Be Built; Leader
Again Official Organ

At the meeting of the council, at
which Aldermen Ward, Ennis, Paulk,
Griffin, Bowles, Jay and Dorminey par
ticipated, the Leader Enterprise was
again designated The official organ
for 1928.
At the instance of the committee
on Public Building and Grounds, Jay,
Bowles and Ennis, motion to build
Memorial Shelter at the Cemetery,
much needed improvement, was
authorized by the council and the
amount necessary added to the appro-
priation. The Library fund was also
increased to $4,000, the increase being
thought necessary to add to the eff
cheney of the Library and to pur-
chase additional needed books. The
salary of the tax assessor was fixed as
the charter provides and additional
help allowed for the assessing of per-
sonal taxes. The tone of the new alder
men seems to be in line of progress
and for the development of the COM
munity, with due regard to the inter-
ests of the tax payers. The ordinances
which were passed at this meeting
appear in today's issue.

100000 FRENCH
TROOPS In GERMANY
Will Take Mines Today; Expect to
Operate With German Labor.

Dusseldorf, JAM, 18.-The plan of
military operations for the occupation
of the Ruhr valley, as prepared by
Marshal Foch and executed by Gen.
deGoutte, has been completely carried
French headquarters here today.
The French troops in the Ruhr now
number nearly 100000 and the military
authorities are prepared to take charge
Of every mine head in the valley as a
protection to the French economic mis-
sion which has undertaken to operate
the mines with German labor.
The limits of the ocupational zone
begin at the confluence of the Rhine
and Lippe rivers, the most noortherly
point in the hands of the Franco-BeI-
gian forces. The line east along the
Lippe to Dorstein, this part being held
by the Belgians who make junction
with the French at Dorstein.
The French hold the Lippe to Lunen,
the extreme northeast limit of the oc-
cupation. The line then turns south in
a semi-circle around Dortmund to Her
decke and Witten, then southwest to
Sattingen, and thence, skirting Bar
men and Elberveld, joins the Duessel-
dorf bridgehead at Wulfrath.
Gen. deGoutte issued an order of the
day thanking both the French ant
Belgian armies "for the admirable
manner in which you carried out the
operations" and exhorting them to bear
the inclement weather and other hard
ships with fortitude. He added, thu
troops had shown great patience under
provocation and warned the Germans
not to repeat the Bochum demonstra
tons, as the repressive measures woulc
be severe.

FITZGERALD WATER

Letter From Health Director Clears
Up Previous Statements

A letter received in this office We'd
nesday will be of much interest to orr
citizens since it clears I'D previously
published statements in re to the con-
dltlon of the Fitzgerald water supply.
II. L. Woodfall, director of the State
Board of Health writes:
Since a circular letter was issued
IN the early part of January, giving
the rating of all towns having water
works systems, we have very carefully
gone over all existing data in this
Office, such as surveys, ANALYSIS and
correspondence, and we believe that
your town should have been placed in
column | OF table 2 as a CITY having
very excellent water supply
his information will appear in the
next circular letter which is to he
sent out the first of February all over
the state making this correction.
This, however, does not change vour
standing in table l as to the coopera-
ton that your city gave the State
Board of Health in relation to having
the clty's water analysed during 1922.
We hope that at the end of 1929
your city's name will appear in col
umn l Ill both tables. To do this, YOU
must send in at least ten samples dur
ing the year and these analyses must

of the convention and the election is
an impossiblity, and even if possible,
requires an immense amount of mon
ey.
With the electoral college stand
ing in the way, there is no possibil-
ity of an independent candidate for
President having his name placed on
the ballot.
If the people could vote directly
for President, primary elections for
the nominations of candidates for
President would not be nearly so i'm
portant, because in case the conven-
tions entirely disregarded the wishes
of the citizenship an independent
candidate could be placed in thhe field
and elected, but as long as the cleo
toral college exists such a thing is
as impossible as though it were pro-
hibited by direct language in the Con-
stitution.
1t is quite apparent, therefore, that
a primary for the nomination of pres
idential candidates is more important
and more fundamental than primary
for the election of candidate for any
other office in the United States. Ell

Council Appreciates
fitzgerald's Library

1t is great satisfaction to all Ii
brary patrons and to everyone inter-
ested in Fitzgerald's educational ia
cilities that the present city council
should have put the stamp of public
approval on the general benefits of
our library by raising the appropria-
ton this year.
Only the splendid financiering of
Miss Smith together with voluntary
contributions and the drive of last
year could have enabled the number
and quality of the books to have been
kept to the standard so we'll maintain
ed. The increase insures against fall
ing below that high standard this year.
Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ben Hill County, Ga.) 1921-1964, 1923-01-18

The President is the most impor-
tant office of all. He has more to do
both with the making of the laws
and their administration than any
other official in the country. He is
part of the legislative machinery of
the federal government. He helps
to make the laws under which all of
the people must live.
The President is practically SUI
preme in the enforcement of these
laws. He appoints all of the ex-
ecutive officials in the entire country.
He likewise appoints all of the judges
of the United States courts and thus
has an indirect influence upon the in
depreciation of laws as we'll as their
enactment and their enforcement.
Conventions Ignore Rank and File.
Everybody knows that the national
conventions of both of the great po-
litical parties pay but little heed to
the wishes of the rank and file of those
parties
We have seen a great political party
practically dominated and controlled
by sick man thousand miles away
from the place where the convention
was held.
We have seen a great national con-
vention of great political party COM
pletely changed in the sentiment of its
membership by the contests and the
arbitrary rules of national commit
tee in making up the temporary roll
call of the convention.
Every intelligent American citizen
knows that the national conventions
are not controlled by the people but
by the political machines and the po-
litical bosses and when the two con-
ventions of the dominant political par
ties are thus controlled, there is no.
thing left for the people except a
choice between two evils.
When the people do not nominate,
the people cannot elect.
In the case of our President, the
work of the naional convention is the
last and the final act. There is nothing
left except a ratification of one or
another. There is no appeal from
their decree.
Independents Cannot Be Elected.
1t is true that in theory an indie
ptndent candidate might run for the
office of President after the conven-
tons had disregarded the wishes of
the people.
AS a matter of practice, however,
this theoretical right is nothing but
a myth, and it is practically impossi-
Bile for an independent candidate to
make any Roadway in running for
President.
The electoral college stands in the
way.
1t would be necessary to organize
new party and form an organiza-
ton in every congressional district in
the United States, thing that for
practical purposes within the short
time between the date of the holding

Order by Judge D. A. r. Crum
Since ancient English Jurisprudence,
bail after conviction of felonies, less
than capital, has always been in the
discretion of the court
This discretion is to be exercised,
with due regard to the liberty of the
citizen; the health of the prisoner, the
safety of the public; the character of
the crime charged and of which the
prisoner was convicted; the probable
ity, of bail be allowed, of the convict
ed person appearing upon final con-
viction to abide the sentence of the
court.
In this case the minimum sentence
imposed upon the applicant is one
year. in the penitentiary of the State;
this minimum would be effective up
on the good behavior of the convicted
person. He has served approximate
" this time of one year in Jail; the
jailor has confidence that he would
not avoid this sentence or attempt
escape, if finally convicted; many
prominent citizens having truly at
heart, all that makes for law and or
der, knowing all the facts, ask that
bail be granted.
Whereupon it is countered, ordered
and adjudged by the Court that the
applicant Fred Stubs be and he is
hereby admitted to bail in the above
stated case. The amount to be the
sum of Five Thousand Dollars, to be
approved by the Sheriff Of the county.
The form of bond to be prepared
by the Solicitor-General of this Judi
cial Circuit and to be effective upon
final approval as to number and quail
fications of bail by the Court.
Let the order together with the ap-
plication and accompanying affidav-
its and petitions be filed with the
Clerk of this Court and recorded on
the minutes, at the expense of the
applicant.
In open court this January 18th,
