The Affair At Milledgeville.
Criminal negligence seems to be underlying the attack on Leo Frank
in the State Prison. The authorities at the prison evidently knew of the
vicious character of Green, the assailant, and it appears that he was in
pissession of the knife during the day and it was up to the guards and
inspectors in charge to account for every tool placed in the hands of the
convicts at the close of the day. An investigatiOn of the affair should
be held in justice to all of the State, and the officials in charge in partic
ular, and blame fixed where it belongs. Says the Savannah News:
“There should be an immediate and rigid investigation of all
the details of the attack upon Leo M. Fank at the state prison
at Milledgeville, to determine whether Green conceived by him
self the idea of attacking him and how it was possible for him
to conceal from the eyes of the guards the knife he used. Noth
ing less is desired by the people of the whole state.”
Mr. Walker's Dog Law. 1
The urgency of the necessity for a law as introduced by Representa
tive Walker for the control of the dog pest is best illustrated by recent
hcal occurrences, which no doubt are mere reproductions of what hap
pens in every other county in the State. A number of rabid dogs have
bien Kkilled by citizens in town and country the past two weeks, some
after having bitten men and children. The decease seems to be more
prevalent this season than the past, and all the dog taxes and dog tags
will not remedy the evil or save a single victim from being bitten,
Muzzle the dog is the only sure preventative, and a dog which is not
worth buying a muzzle for is certainly not entitled to the freedom of the
streets or country roads to endanger every man, woman or child who
have to travel them. The bill has been recommended favorable by the
House committee, and it is hoped that Mr. Walker will succeed in hav
ing it passed. It's the dog or the child, and it should not be hard for
Georgia's legislature to choose between the two.
GOTION ENBARGO KEEPS PRICE LOW.

Hoke Smith Sees Advance if
England Accedes Request
Washington, D, C., July 18—The price of cotton will advance at
least 3 cents a pound if the American note to Great Britain as fore
cast in last night’s dispatches from Washington proves effective, ac
cording to the belief of Senator Smith. The assurance that neutral
ports will be opened to shipments of cotton would, he believes, take
care of most all of the surplus of last year’s crop now held in the
South. )
G Neari
Chol g d Lubli
Berlin, July 18—News of Field Marshal Von Hindenburg’s new
est surprise for the Russians, which the war office announces had re
sulted in important victories, cauased general rejoicing here and flags
appeared throughout the city. The announcement was made late yes
terday.
Military critics attach great significance to the Russian retreat to
ward the Narew river, particularly as the German advance between
the Pisa and Vistula rivers threatens to crumple the right flank posi
tions of the Russians.
With Field Marshal Von MacKensen proceeding against the other
flank, mamntenance of communications is a serious problem for the
Russians. The breaking of the Russian line near Kransnostav, thirty
four miles south of Lublin, brings the (rermans dangerously near
Cholm and Lublin, botn ot highest importance for the Russians,

. Act Quickly
Delay Has Been Dangerous
In Fitzgerald
Do the right thing at the right
time. -
Act quickly in time of danger.
In time of kidney danger Doan’s
Kidney Pills are the most effective.
Plenty of Fitzgerald evidence of
their worth.
Mrs. M. F. Echols, 109 Roanoke
Drive, Fitzgerald, says: “I suppose
heavy lifting or over work brought
on my kidney trouble. I noticed
the trouble most when I got up in
the morning. I had dull pains
across my back and always felt tir
ed and languid. I also had dizzy
spells and accasionally everything
turned black before me. One box
lof Doan’s Kidney Pills cured the at
tack. Two or three times since I
have had a slight return of the
trouble, but Doan’s Kidney Pills
have always rid me of the attack.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Echols had. Foster-

# SPORTING SECTION Ǥ
FRIDAY’S GAME.
Friday Fitzgerald took a close
game from Eufaula. The game
was won in the ninth inning
when two runs were scored by
the visitors, - making the final
score five to three. McFarland
pitched for Fitz and broke the
precedent he has set by giving
up twelve hits. He had the best
support our team has ever given
a pitcher, only one error behind
him, and nine hits, bunched at
the right time. McFarland pitch
ed flawless ball .until the sixth
inning when Eufaula started hit
ting and scored three runs that
inning. This was all they scored
during the game.
1 OCILLA DEFEATS BOOSTERS
~ Friday the Fitzgerald Boosters
played the Ocilla Braves and
were defeated by a score of fif
teen to six. The Boosters were
all young business men of the
city who have not played for two
or three years and the game was
played on such short notice that
they were unable to practice to
gether or even get limbered up
good. The game was hard fought
on both sides. Chaple and Smith
worked for Fitz and Antley and
Hammock for the Braves.
NORTH SIDE LOSE 3
TO SOUTH SIDE.
The North side junior ball club
met the younger generation of
the South Side in a five inning
bout Saturday. The north side
was in a very unorganized state
and the position of captain and
manager was very unsettled.
Capt. Thurmond’s club shut them
out by a very large score. Bill
Dykes for the North side pitched
good ball but had poor and un
organized support. Lowry and
Morris received his hot delivery.
Phil Booth held down the slab.
for the southies and was receiv
ed by Allan Harrell.
. SATURDAY’S GAME.
Saturday Fitzgerald made it
six straight victr ries for the week
ard three wirs from Eufau'a.

Garwood pitched for Fitzgerald
after the first inning and held
the visitors to eight scattered
hits. He had splendid support.
Golcen and Parker for the locdal
team gave up ten hits which
came at the right time for tle
visitors. Bunched hits scored
two runs in the second and tvo
in the fourth.
Score by Innings: RHE

Eufaula 100000000 1 8 1
Batteries: Roseberry, Garwood
and Monahan; Golden, Parker
and Williams.
Six straight victories last week
makes the chances look good for
the Dawson series. If the boys
get two out of the three of those
games, as it is likely they will,
the stands should be packed for
the Eufaula series on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday.
BARFIELD'S LAST TWO GAMES
Barfield has arranged two final
games for the Outlaws before the
season closes. Tomorrow, Tuesday,
they play the fast Frank team. The
battery for the Qutlaws will be Lee
and Buckalew. Osierfield will be
the victim for execution Wednes
day.
Both of these country teams are
very good and have cleaned up with
everything in their class since the
first of the season. These will bcth
be good games and, as an added
attraction, Barfield gives us his per
sonal word that the score from tte
Dawson games will appear on the
big score board by innings, Come
and see the last games in which
Home-run Barfield, the man who
built the ball park, appears.
To Limit Cotten Trade
London. July 15. The British gov
