Our attention has been called to an error in our editorial of last
week when we credited the members of the Woman’s Club with the
splecdid work done 1n the court house yard. Credit should have been
given to the Daughters of the Revolution, It didn’t matter much as
to who did the work, 7The point we wished to make was that, through
the thoughtful help of the ladies, and the subsequent labor of the jani
tor, the yard has been made attractive. We sincerely hope that the
same ladies and 8 “god manv others will co-operate in making the
parks sightly, Oprganize a «« CITY BEAUTIFUL,” lady auxiliary,
and give the council the benefit of your taste and experience.
GREATER FITZGERALD.
i,eading spirits in local development propositions are
formulating plans to extend the trade territory of the city,
to reap where they have sown. The time has come when
Fitzgerald must come into her own, the recognition by her
neighbors of being the biggest and livest city in her terri
tory. The MEN of AFFAIRS in our midst will place be
fore the trading public the important benefits of Fitzgerald’s
advantages and cultivate the spirit of “Trading at Home.”
A committee of the businessmen will take charge and in
person see everyone who will be interested in making Fitz
gerald the Metropolis of Wire Grass Georgia. Let every
man respond in proportien to his means and the benefits
to be detived by him and this campaign will prove the
biggest undertaking for the building of the CITY. Co-ope
ration is the key to success and the enterprise is co-opera
tion in action for the good of all.
To build ““The City’* we must have YOUR help.
Vote For Wilson-—-The Hope of Democracy.
The mere fact that Mr. Woodrow Wilson delivered an ad
dress at a Columbus celebration i 8 no reason why Democrats in
Georgia should stay in their tents and sulk and let the enemy win
the battle. .We are astonished at Mr, Watson to make soo shallow
an excuse for so far-reaching decision. Every dweller upon these
shores, be he Protestant, Jew or Catholic, has this Italian sailor to
thank for the final discovery of this hospitable continent. That
the intent of Columbus was to find a new route to India doesn’t
matter—he blazed the way for others to take courage and follow
and in so doing, opened up this continent to Caucasian civilization.
Aside from this simple evasion there seems to be no cause for Mr. ‘
Watson to leave the Democratic nominee for the sake of an
economic principle, for if there was, we know Mr. Watson well
enough to state that he would openly avow the failure of Mr. Wil
son and to advocate the fortunes of the party coming within the
standards that Mr. Watson believes in. Mr. Wilson in accepting
an invitation to address sq large and influential a body of voters
as the Catholics of New York, showed that sagacity without which
no man need aspire to the high office of President of this Union.
In New York alone, he pivotal State in this election, there are over
half a million of voters. members of the Catholic church and it
would have been party suicide to decline such an opportunity.
Every Democrat in Georgia should turn out and vote for the nom
inee. The issue and the principals of Democracy should impell
every Democrat to go to the polls on November sth., and cast his
ballot for the democratic electors. Turn out and vote, the opposi
tion is alive to the occasion and will lose no opportunity to bring
out their full strength. We have the highest regard for Mr. Wat
son but honestly believe him to be totally wrong in his present at
titude towards the democratic standard hearer.

Well Deserved
The Praise That Comes
from Thankful Fitzgerald
People
One kidney remedy bas known
merit. ..uiinie: o
Fitzgerald .people rely upon it.
That remedy .is Doans Kidney
Pills.
Fitzgerald test.mony proves it
reliable,
Fred A. Harnish, shoemaker,
215 Roanoke 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
1 could hardly get up after sitting
for awhile. I used plasters and
liniments, but found no relief un
til I began taking Doar’s Kidney
Pitls. They strengthened my back
and kidneys and cured the pain
and lameness. It is a pleasure for
me to recommend this remedy.”
(Statement given April 15, 1908.)
A CONFIRMED ENDORSEMENT
Mr. Harnish was interviewed
by our representative on April 27,
1911 and he said: ‘lt is with pleas
ure that I confirm my former
statement regarding Doan’s Kid
ney Pills, I willingly authorize
the continued use of my name for
the benefit of other kidney suffer
ers.”

Slain
Eilijay, Ga.—Charley Tipton, a
noted mountaineer moonshiner of
the north Georgia mouuntains, is
dead. A coroner’s jury has been
unable to clear up the mvstery of
just when and by whom he was
kiiled. The general impression
here 1s that Tipton, who was
known as a desperate character,
was shot to death by mountain
clansmen who had some hidden
grievance against him. Tipton was
famous in this section for his ex
ploits as a moonshiner. He had
been frequently arrested for illicit
distilling, —Ex.

more in fact, for that sum than he could
ever offer before.
Therefore, the Dealer who ties up with the
K-ri-t will be scoring, like others before
him, the biggest business stroke of his
career. He will be tying to a car that
will sweep through his territory just as it
has triumphed elsewhere.
If you understand the technical side of an
automobile, bear in mind that the K-r-i-t
motor, clutch and transmission are a unit.
That means conservation of power, getting
as near as possible 100-per cent efiiciency.
And speaking of power, don’t forget that
while the K-r-i-t is medium in price, it is
full powered, staunch and husky, equal
to any work.
K-rit models are finished in black and
nickel and with 56 or 60-inch tread as
desired. Their equipment is complete.
An electric lighting system including five
lamps, and 100-hour storage battery is
added to each car for $lO extra.
