Alms House Letter
Carrier Is Deac
Had Been Inmate of Poor
House Qver Forty Years
Atlanta, July 22.—01 d Daddy
Jim Hill, who has been letter car
rie at the county alms house for
over forty years, died yesterday
in his eightieth year and will be
buried in the pauper’s field, as no
living relatives of the old man are
known.
He drifted to Atlanta nearly
halt a century ago, a kindly, will
ing and industrious soul whose
wits were slightly clouded, Un
able to find work outside he went
to the poor house, and had been
one of its most industrious and
valued workers ever since. For
forty years he worked happily
ten hours a day, washing dishes
stringing beans and working in
the garden when he wasn’t busy
handling the mail which was his
special care,
Socialist Leader -
Coming To Georgia
Atlanta, July 22.—The Sociel
ists are going to make a real fight
in Georgia this year. They bavei
announced that Eugene V. Debs,
the socialist 12ader and editor, will
be here in September, in connec
tion with the candidacy of A, F,
Castleberry, of Columbus, for
governor of the state.
. Many a little dog has to bark
loudly to keep up his courage; and
we wonder if our too self-assertive
friends aren’t sometimes doing the
same thing.
A man 1s judged by the com
pany he keeps, and by the cigars
he gives away. I
Will Make Test Case
; Over Near Beer Sale
' Brunswick, Ga., July 17—A ques
tion of great interest in the state
generally has just been brought out
here by the arrest of Manager Hug
gins, of the Bellevue Hotel on St.
Simons, charged with a violation of
the prohibition law by selling what
is classified as near beer.
The sale of this beverage has al
ways been permitted on the island,
but recently the Glynn county com
missioners ordered the lid placed on
and the sale was stopped.
Now the question brought to issue
is: How can a man be held for sell
ing near beer without a license when
there is no provision on the statutes
of the state giving him the privilege
of securing a license? Local attor
neys differ as to their construction
of the law, and it is more than prob
able that a test case will be carried
to the supreme court for a decision
Hundreds of people who would
be horror-stricken at the sugges
tion of suicide by the rope-and
rafter method, are daily Kkilling
their best selves with the poison
of self-pity.
Give us your order for a porch
swing. We make them reasonable
and can please you. F. M. Graham

THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1912
Well Deserved
The praise that comes from
thankful Fitzgerald people,
One kidney remedy has known
merit,
Fitzgerald people rely upon it.
The remedy is Doan’s Kidney
Pills.
Fitzgerald testimony proves it
reliable.
Fred A. Harnish, shoemaker,
215 Roancke Drive, Fitzgerald,
Ga., says: ‘For five years my
back caused me a great deal of
misery, being lame and sore. It
was hard for me to stoop or
straighten and I could hardly get
-up after sitting for awhile. I used
plasters and liniments, but found
no relief until I began taking
Doans’s Kidney Pills. They streng
thened my back and kidneys and
cured the pain and lameness, It is
a pleasure for me to recommend
this remedy.” (Statement given
April 12, 1908.) |
A CONFIRMED ENDORSEMENT.

South Carolina Act
for Warehouse Invalid
R i
Columbia, S, C., July 12.—That
the act passed at the last session
of the legislature, entitled ‘‘Anact
to create and operate a state ware
house systera for storing of cot
ton and other commodities,” which
carried with it an appropriatioa
of $250,000 for putting its provi
sions into effect, violates the con
stitution of South Carolina is the
position taken by the supreme
court in a decision handed down
this morning.
At the time of its passage its;
opvonents contended it was un-'
constitutional, but it passed and
received the signature of the gov
ernor. The case was carried to the
supreme court by the attorney
geperal in order that the matter
might be definitely settled.
The act was one of the most far
reaching pieces of legislation pass
ed at the 1912 session. It provided
‘that it shall be the duty of the
state warehouse commission to
provide by purchase, lease or
otherwise a svstem warehouse at
the most eligible site in this state,
capable of storing no less than 250,-
000 bales of cotton,
The commission had been autho
{rized by the act to issue coupon
|bonds to the amount of $250,000
| to carry out the provisions of the
|act. The supreme court holds that
|the act would appropriate public
lrevenues to private purposes, and
! that it also provides for an issue
{of bonds and an increase ot the
public debt without first submitt
ing the question of the creation of
such new debt to the qualified
electors of this state at a general
election, is violation of section 2,
article 10, of the constitution.
It is understood that the Geor
gia legisiature now has before it
for consideration a similar meas
lure.

FITZGERALD, - GEORGIA.
Georgia’s Next Governor.
Atlanta—The big¢ majority by
which the Tippins bill passed the
house last week revived gossip anent
a possible prohibition candidate for
governor, although the necessity for
the anti-whisky element assuming
this attidude is not clear when they
are in a position to enact an air
tight prohibition law for the state.
Heretofore talk regarding a prohi
bition candidate for governor has
had to do with Judge W. A. Coving
ton. More recent rumors, however,
!centered around Hooper Alexander,
of DeKalb, the moving spirit back of
!the Tippins bill. However, Mr. Alex
lander quickly set at rest to these
rumors by stating emphatically that
he had no idea of becoming a guber
natorial aspirant. Leading prohibi
tionists are opposed to making this
question an issue in the present
| campaign.
This apprently kills off the last of
the possible entries and leaves the
field to John M. Slaton, of Fulton,
‘and Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb. |
All candidates for state house offi
.ces must pay the assessment levied
by the state executive committee
by August 1, so opportunity for
other entrants for the governorship
is rapidly passing. \
l As often stated this campaign is
to be marked by unusual quietness,
|and the candidates will do practi-
Ically no general campaign speaking
lover the state. Mr. Hall fills in a
few dates now and then, wh n
there is a slack in the legisa
tive grind. Mr. Slaton, however, is
remaining steadily on the job here
as presiding officer of the senate.
He will have no opportunity to get
among the people in personal appeal
at all, since the legislature does not
adjourn until August 14. Under the
law the president of the senate and
the speaker of the house are requir
ed to remain on duty until five days
I after the adjournment to sign bulls
passed at the latter part of the ses-
I sion. This will keep Mr. Slaton tied
down to Aug. 19, and the state pri
mary occurs August 2. =
Mr. Slaton, however, believes the:
people will appreciate his L
tention to his present duties, and :
will show it at the coming primary.
He is very well satisfied as they ex
ist, and constant assurances from ail
parts of the state give added strength
to the opinion that he will be the
next governor. . W
