THE news of the death of one Of
the notorious James brothers of Mis-
souri, is almost too good to be true.
The James and Younger brothers
have been the terror of the South
west for several years past and have
robbed and murdered almost with
out let or hindrance. A number of
unsuccessful attempts have been
made to capture them, and in an en-
counter a year or two since between
them and the officers OF the law one
Of their men was killed. Heavy re-
wards offered for their apprehension
have induced private parties to I'M
dertake their arrest from time to
time, but the outlaws have always
made their escape. The Missouri Off
Gals urge in extenuation of their fall
ure to break up the gangs the great
danger of attempting their arrest.
The outlaws have a large number of
passive allies in the section where
they live, who, through fear of bodily
harm, keep them posted as to the
movements of officers. They ride the
f1eetest horses in the country and
are, withal, unerring marksmen, and.
fighting after the Indian fashion
can bring down their pursuers at
very long range. They never allow

consequence Of the dullness of trade

Let Us Be Thankful

THANKSGIVING Day is observed by all Good
Americans. 1t knows no distinction between
colors nor creeds. Thanksgiving Day is for
all who believe in Supreme Power and are
thankful for the benefits they have received.
Thanksgiving Day is distinctly American,
rich in historic associations.
The first Thanksgiving Day was observed
in 1921, about year after the Pilgrims land
ed at Plymouth, November 81, 1920.
More than half of the original 100 settlers
persisted from hardships during their first six
months on these shores, yet arrangements
went forward in the Spring of 1921 for the
planting of corn. Twenty acres were sown to
corn and six acres to barley and peas.
When the harvest had been safely gathered
in the Fall, plans were made for Thanksgiv'
ing dinner. Governor Bradford sent four hun
tiers with blunderbusses after turkeys, then
wild throughout New England The Indian
chieftain, Massasoit, and his men killed five
deer for the feast. The famous Priscilla, to
whom John Alden made love for Miles Stan
q dish, was cook and'it was feast indeed. Fiji
ty-two Pilgrims and ninety Indians sat down
together and enjoyed their first full meal since
arrival in this wilderness :
When one realizes the hardships these stur.
dy pioneers suffered to make this land Of
plenty, can the sincerity of this first Thanks
giving be doubted? And if these strangers in
foreign land, facing death daily in their
struggles for a mere existence, found cause to
be thankful for their preservation, how much
more should we of this wonderful generation
express our gratitude for the generosity of a
kindly Providence.

Look Before You Cross

Drivers of automobiles should be doubly
cautious in crossing railroad tracks where the
highway parallels the railroad.
No railroad crossing should be crossed
without looking in both directions and it is
particularly necessary to safety that this be
done when crossing where railroad and high
way parallel each other.
Careessness on the part of the driver at
such crossings is attended by great danger.
Bear in mind that gears should not be shift
ed on or near the track. Many machines stall
when shifting gears. If necessary to shift
gears do so not less than Is feet from the
track, then loo. in both directions before cross
ing.
A railroad crossing is dangerous only when
made SO by carees driving. No prudent per-

for it is there warning, yet motorists fire.

and break down crossing gates warning them
of an approaching train, but with scarcely less

eliminate the danger when the danger is not
in the crossing but in the driver-Exchange

Is It the Parents Fault?

Every year, it seems, more and more people
are living outside the influence of home life
The fresde fellowship cultural influence and
fraternal spirit of the home circle is not now

why not movement among parents to re-es-
tablish the home circle? Or don't parents
care? Have they, too. lost their interest in
their own hearthstone?
1t is question. Certainly the children can't
be altogether to blame.

A Wilson STAMP

The promptness with which the request of
some of the admirers of Woodrow Wilson that
q postal stamp be issued in his honor has been
acceded to is but further evidence of how
the American leader of the world war period
stands out in history. When the suggestion
was first made there was a question of lack
of precedent for honoring a president in that
manner so soon after his death. An exception
was made in the case of President Harding
because he died in office
dispatch from Washington, however,
showed that all such questions of precedent
had been dismissed. The desire of President
Coolidge that Wilson stamp be issued was
communicated to the post-office department,
and later it was announced that the tribute
would be paid soon as possible. Undoubted-
ly it will be generally approved.

To Pave Central, Main and Lee
Streets

With the passage of the Baby Bond bill
by the last General Assembly, Mayor Mayes
hopes to secure the cooperation of the proper
ty owners on these streets to pave their en-
tire length. The cost under the baby bond
plan would be distributed over period OF
ten years, with comparatively low interest
charges, which no doubt will appeal to the
property owners along the streets.
Under this plan the property owners along
either or all of these streets, must take the lnl-
tial step, by petition to the Mayor and Coun-
Gil, to contract for the work. Three-fourths OF
the lot owners must sign the petition before
the city can take the proper legal steps to in
augurate the work
With all of our neighboring cities such as
Valdosta, Albany, Thomasville, Moultrie and
Waycross, practically paving all of their
streets, it will be up to us to keep Fitzgerald
in its class and pave at least these streets in

elders

What to do with so many violators
of federal laws on the three points of
immigration, prohibition and dope, Is
a problem from several standpoints.
The case of refined young woman
who came without proper passport,
being lodged in common Jail with
criminals is one example. The young
woman came to marry an American
and supposed that marriage would
give her citizenship. What terrible
penalty for a mistaken idea. Surely
there must be a better way soon
evolved to care for those who come
under the federal ban for errors in
passports than housing with crimi-
nails for days or weeks. Frequently a
month passes before the alien cases
are attended to. Then too, the enor-
'mous numbers ief4peHsefis' being held
for violation of the liquor and drug
laws really calls for more and separ-
ate detention places. The states can
refuse them in penitentiaries and
the jails will not hold them all. II
for this reason judges must accept
fines instead of jail sentences for
many offenders, this works still an
other wrong, because drunk people
and speeders should be put in Jail.
The county would have to feed these.
