Rally To The Re-Union
The time is growing short for the preparation of
entertaining the veterans that wore the Gray. We have
been signally honored by the Commander and his staff in
being selected as the meeting place for the i 915 Re-Union
and have prepared an elaborate program for their meet
ing. The various committees appointed to carry out the
features will be responsible for its success. Fitzgerald
has at no time had so good an opportunity to carry its
reputation for hospitality and ability to entertain large
gatherings into the most remote hrmlets of the Empire
State. The sacrifices these men made for the cause of the
Seuth, entitles them to the respect of their fellow citi
zens, no matter how we may vicw the causes that led
up to the struggle or the results of the great contest, the
veterans of those days are due the honor 2rd respect of
this generation, for the gallant fight they made for
what they belicved the best for the Southh and the con
tinuance of the civilization they represented. America
rejoices in the loyality of all sections to the Country of
To Day and the loyalty of the South is never questioned
these days. The veterans, who wore the Blue, in our
midsts, have joined in the invitation to the Veterans of
the Gray and the younger men and women in our city
must rally to the support of the Re-Union committee to
make this an occasion of pride for the whole State and
an example of fraternity between the sections for the
entire,Nation. Much work is yet to be done and the com
mittees all aced the hearty cooperation of all good citi
zens 0 enable them to makeithe Re-Union the big suc
cess to which it is entitled.
Southern Interests Must Be Protected
Congressman Schley Howard in no uncertain language condemns
th.e aititude of England against the southern interests and will urge
drastic measures 1n Congress tor the protection of the cotton planter,
In a recent interview in the Atlanta Georgian Mr. Howard says:
“Kngland has played the dog in the manger to the United States
since 1812, she now continues to kick us and we serenely take it. I
can’t see any way out of the situation but an extra session of Con
gress, when we must tell England what our rights are and demand
that she respect them.
CAN STARVE ENGLAND
“I give my word to my Greorgia constituents that no sooner does
the Speaker’s guvel sound on the table than I shall offer a bill to cut
off every ounce of ammunition to Great Britain unless her cotton
blockade is lifted. Itis in our power to starve England and end the war
in 60 days; yet we are content to let Southern cotton be offered as a
sacrifice in order to get the war munitions trade that a few individuals
may make hundreds of millions of dollars.
*‘The South is just waking up to the situation and it will wake
up none too soon, The crop will be upon us, and we must take care
of it the best we can. I don’t mean to sound a dismal note, but we
might as well face the facts, Our cotton warchouses in the South are
vow filled with the 3,900,000 excess bales from last year’s crop. I pre.
dict that we will raise this year 13,500,000 bales maybe more. Taken
with 4,500,000 bales produced in the Natal, India and Africa, we give
a total of 21,900,000 as the world’s supply.
‘“England will consume the 4,500,000 from her colonies and tell
the South to hustle to sell the balance.” And we will be up against
it unless we call her hand, This can be done by cutting off her supply
of food and ammunition. Reciprocity is the only principle to apply in
this emergency. I don’t expect resolutions and counsel from farmers
orgauizations to do aay good, but the people can trust their represen
tatives in Congress to do the right thing by them.
| U.S. MADE BAD MISTAKE
“The United States made a grievous mistake in turning against
Germany and coddling England. During the two vears preceeding the
war we sold Germany $171,000,000 worth of cotton, and in the year
of the war we sold her only 222 000 bales or $11,100,000 worth, :
“The people of Georgia have not diversified to any extent and
we shall have cotton with us again, Every farmer has covered his
hillside and is confidently expecting to get 10 cents a pound, There
is only ove way out, If we bring England to her knees by a prospec
tive boycott, we can then sell not only all the ammunition and food
stuffs, but the South’s cotton as well. ;
It is time for the South to protect her interests through the ballots:
of her members in Congress and every member must fight to the last
diteh, |
“I have been through the highways and the byways, and I know
what lam talking about, We must speak out in an extra session
and share the bountiful prosperity of the Eastern war supply men and
the Western grain growers, who bardly know a war is going on,”

final score was four to one. Our
star pitcher McFarlin did the
heavy part in the way that made
him a leader in the Flag league.
He allowed only four weak scat
tered hits. Gheesline, the star
pitcher and manager of the
Hawkinsville club, opposed him.
He gave up five hits and his sup
’port was not of the best. Qur
new Indian player did some pret
ty work and hit well. Some of
our boys came back home Friday
evening after the game and went
back Saturday morning. Several|
cars went back with them. 1

FITZGERALD ROUTED
Saturday’s game with Haw-}?
kinsville was a route. The score
was fourteen to one in favor of
Hawkinsville. That one was
given to the visitors out of pity.
‘Garwood pitched five innings and
was relieved by Rosenberry in
the sixth. Seven runs were
scored off Garwood and seven on
Lefty, six of which were made
in the seventh. It was truly a
comedy. The home club hit like
six hundred and our club was up
in the air besides. It was worse
than the game with Unadilla in
this place, worse by far.
- Hawkinsville plays us today,
tomorrow and Wednesday. Fans!
lets go out and make them swal
low some of their own medicine.
Unless Dawson gives us some
games later this month these
games may close the season.
There is no accurate score of
the hits and errors and as the
figures in the score by innings
are so large we will not attempt
to give it. i
~ Batteries, Garwood, Rosenbery
and Monohan; Wiggins and Rey
nolds. Umps, Wagnon.
We wish to correct a little er
ror and explain one ommission
made in Friday’s issue. In the
first game with Hawkinsville in
that place we lost by a score of
two to one as was stated. But
the two runs scored in the fifth
were not off of bunched hits as
H'ville could not get more than
one hit at a time, however ur
gently they were needed. The
runs were scored when McFarlin,
in right field, allowed the rub
ber in his glove to rob him of a
put out. There were two men
on at the time and they beat hls
peg home. 'The ommission was
about the Dawson article. The
part of it which was quoted was
from the Dawson news.
Convicted of Assault

Indians played Thursday. The
facts of the case, as brought out
in court, are as follows: .
Two Indins got drunk Wednes
day night.
According to his custom Bel
cher fined the whole club for
the offence of these two mem
bers. Razar learred of this
at the train and said to Belcher,
‘“You cheap guy, you make
money cheating the poor Indi
an.” Belcher knocked him
down and fired him.
In court Belcher was ably defend
ed by Alex Koplin, who made the
most of his slender eveidence, but
Belcher was sentenced to six
months on the chain-gang to be re
lieved on the payment of forty
dollars including costs. We hope
Natumn will be able to collect the
‘back salary which Belcher refused
lto pay him.
