The Senate passed the bill allowing women to practice law in
Georgia. The lower House side-tracked it and thus killed it for the
present. The people of Georgia will yet demand equal opportuni
ties for their daughters—it’s bound to come—it’s part of the higher
civilization.

Best Evidence of Fitzgerald's Exceeding
Growth |
Considering our city’s tender age 1n connection with the fact that
Le: bank deposits total about one millicn dollars and that she already
is one of the cities in Georgia that makes up the sixteen Honor Roll
binks in the state, the Ixchange National Bank baving just recently
attained to a place on that roll, is gratifying in the extreme t 5 those
who have cast their lots here. Fitzgerald is the only young town in
the list that has one of these Honor Roll banks.
Some of Our Preferences.

Voters of Ben Hill County.
The primary election will be held next Wednesday, August 21.
Everyone of you, unless sickness prevents, should turn out and ex
press your preference at the ballot box. It is a sacred duty of the
citizen of a Stzte to use his best judgment in the selection of offi
cers of State and county to the best interest of all the people. Pre
judice, petty spite, or any other unworthy motive in the exercise
of this grand privilege of electing your officers is unworthy of a
white man, and we have the confidence in the electorate of Ben
Hill county that makes us confident in the final result of the elec
tion of the best man for the place. Our own vote will be cast with
the sole purpose of electing the men best fitted for the position ap
plied for, regardless of other csnsideration. Your ecandidates for
the local offices are personally known to you as well as to us—we
shall not intrude our personal preference on you, as your judgment
deliberately acted upon will undoubtedly lead you in the channel
that the majority of our people have selected.
But we wish to especially call your attention again to the elec
tion of a Solicitor-General for the Cordele Circuit, and appeal to
you to cast your vote for the home man, Joseph B. Wall. Every
qualification for the office is represented in the Fitzgerald candi
date with greater efficiency than in his opponent from Cordel,
Our personal acquaintance with Mr. Jos. B. Wall leads us to believe
that his efforts to enforce the Law—all Laws—will meet with
more success than could possibly be expected from his opponent,
who lacks some of the necessary attributes incident to the office of
Solicitor-General.

Will Not Change
Says Tom Watson
¢I Am in Democratic Party
to Stay,” He Declares
“This is not an effoit to help
Wilson in the state of Georgia.
’lb is an effort to discredit me.
There is not a word of truth in
)tbe article. I have had no com
munication with Mr. Hearst on
this or any other subject, lam in
‘the Democratic party and I am in
it to stay.”
" Thus did Thomas E. Watson de
clare himself apropos of an article
on the front page of The Journal
of Wednesday, which stated that
he was on the point of forming au
alliance with Hearst for the pur
pose of supportizg Roosevelt and
the progressive party, /
Mr. Watson spent last night at
the Kimball house, He leaves
early this morning for Barnesville,
where he has a speaking date. He
had not seen The Journal when he
arrived but was immediately shown
the article in question |
LET HIM WRITE PLATFORM l
Further commenting on the]
story he said:
““The Journal crowd were glad
enough to get me back into the
party in 1906 and weunt so far as
to let me write the platform in
order to do so. They find they
can use me no longer and they
would read me out of it. I don’t]
propose they shall do any such
thing,
“The attitude of The Jourral x~‘
childish and inconsistent. They
don’t care a tinker’s dam for|
Wilson but they would like to
hurt me. When Wilson wa<l
nominated I abided by the result]
and stated I would support thvl
party’s candidate. 1 am a ;roodl
looser. I wade a speech at Senoia
in which I stated that I would sup- ‘
port Wilson, I predicted for him|
the largest majority since 1908,
and my remarks were x'e':ei\'ud!
with enthusiasm. [
“Immediately after this speech
The Journa.], in etfect, told me.to
keep my mouth shut; that they
were runping things and that 1
would do more harm than good. 1
received no word from Mr. Wilsun
that my services would be welcome.
He did not repudiate The Journal’s
article. Copsequently I have kept
silent. I could pursue no other
course with respect for myself.
“The idea of my leaving the
party, however, is absurd, and
The Journal koows it. 1 have re
ceived many communications from
subscribers advocating Roosevelt,
but I have not published them, for
the reason that I did not wish to
be misconstrued.
HAD HEARD THE REPORT.
“*Some time ago one of The
Journal reporters showed mea
telegram from Washington, in
which it was stated I would be
Roosevelt’s manager in this state,
I stated then that there was no
truth in the report,
““The veriest political tyro ought
to be able to see through. the pres
ent attack of The Journal on me.”

‘The foregoing is a complete list of Honor Roll Banks in Georgia
as taken from The Financier published in New York.
A place on the Roll of Honor is like a mans character—it is some
thing money cannot buy but is won by merit and worth alone.
'An Honor Roll Bank is one whose officers and directors have been
so successful in its management and so wise in their plans that, although
dealing with the public liberally on a Live and Let Live basis, they have
accumulated profits and have left their profits in the banks surplus fund
until this fund equals the ofiginal amount of capital steck paid in.
Surplus fund is purely and simply an additional voluntary pro
tection for depositors, and no bank can have a better sign of strength
and (conservatism, than the sign Large Surplus.
By reading the above list, it is to be noted that Fitzgerald is the
only young town in the state that has an Honor Roll Bank, and this is
indeed a compliment to our city, as well as a powerful advertisement for
THE EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANK. ,
