I hereby announce myself aI
candidate for re-election to the
office of City Tax Assessor. I
promised when I was elected last
term that I would reduce the taxes
25 per cent, and this 1 did, but
the city council afterward raised
the entire assessment 10 per ceot,
and alse raised the rate from $1.40
to $1.65. This was done on account
of the street paving and other im
provements. Regardiess of street
paving and white ways, if elected,
I will not raise the value of any
property except to equalize some
few locations, :

Fitzgerald Postoffice Building Assured This
Session.
Hon. Chas. R. Crisp Secures Promise of Committee..
It is not.customary that the campaign pledges of a candida f
for office are taken scriously, and it is quite unusual that the pro:
ises of a candidate become performances. It is refreshing and the
public will apprecisate the efforts of the Hon. Chas. R. Crisp, whose
term of office will not commence until next March as a member of
Congress. His large acquaintance and popularity with the present
members of Congress afford him the opportunity to fulfill his pre
election pledges, and the people of this community will and do
assure him of the same degree of fidelity to his interest as he has
manifested for theirs. Mr. Crisp writes: :
WABHINGTON, D. C., December 5, 1912.
Honorable A. B. Cook, Mayor, Fitzgerald, Georgia.
My DEAR MR. Cook:—I have talked with the leading mem
bers of the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds and I have
their promise to report a public building for Fitzgerald when the
bill comes into the House. I feel perfectly confident that before
this session of Congress adjourns there will be a public building
authorized for your growing city. I am grateful for the support
given me by your good people and it will always be a delight to me
when I can be of service.
Your friend, ‘CHAS. R. Crisp.
Farm ‘Vealth Product $9,532,000,000;
: Most™ Productive Of All Years.
Most productive of all agricultural years in this country has been
1912, declares the report. The earth has produced its greatest annual
dividend. The sun and the rain and the fertility of the soil heeded not
the human controversies, but kept on working in co-operation with the.
farmers’ efforts to utilize them. The reward is augigh general level of
production, The man behind the plow has filled the Nation’s larder,
erammed the storehouses, and will send liberal supplies to foreign
eountries.
The prides at the farm are genefally profitable and will continue
the prosperity that farmers have enjoved in recent years. The total
crop value is so far above that of 1911 and of any preceding year that
the total production of farm wealth is the highest yet reached by half
a billion dollars. Based on the census items, of wealth production on
farms, the grand total for 1912 is estimated to be $9,532,000,000.
‘During the last 16 years the farmer has steadily increased his
wealth production year by year, with tue exception of 1911, when the
value declined from that of the preceding year. If the wealth produc
ed on farms in 1899 be regarded as 100, the wealth produced 16 years
ago, or 1n 1897, is represented by 84, and the wealth produced in 1912 ,x
by 202 1 During the 16 years the farmers’ wealth production increas
ed 141 per cent,
| The wealth production on farms during the last 16 years reached
the grand total of more than $105,000,000,000, This stream of wealth
has poured out of the farmers’ horn of plenty, and in 16 vears has
equaled about three-quarters of the present national wealth,
The above from the annual report of the Secretary of Agriculture
to Congress. Qur farmer friends may well ask themselves what has
become of all this wealth that he has produced? The statistics gath
ered by the Government are correct, as far as production and values
can give it, but the joke seems to be in the fact that the farmers kept
but mightv little of their surplus, somebody managed to get 1t with
out compensation, The average farmer is no better housed, clothed
or fed than he was in the years of smaller result, so somebody else be
sides the producer reaped the benefit of the apparent prosperity of
the tillers of the soil. We’d advise the hiring of some detective to
discover the thief, . ; .
