Reviving The oOld Fitzgerald Way
The successful eatertainment of the Confederate Reunion, the
wrandest gathering of men Fitzgerald has ever had the opportunity,
@@ be host to, should be an inspiration to every man woman and child
of the city. The splendid cooperation that finally made itself mani
fest, when the bizgness of the convention dawned upon our leading
«iirens, should teach us the value of cooperation for the city’s future
development, The Fitzgerald spirit of old, the kind that brought us
through sor:e dark hours during the making, was again in evidence
and for the good of the community we trust it will be kept alive for
tie future. Geographically we are destined to be the center of com
auercial importance in South Georgia it merely needs the continuous
efforts of our leading citizens to vring this about. There should be
Hat one thought in the minds of our people, tomuke Fitzgerald greater,
ewter and more prosperous, to bring within our city’s limits more of
the good people of this country, to share with us the benefits of our
schools, our civic pride, our industry, the development of our county
and the betterment of all of our many advantages that are so patent to
the casval visitor to our section. Cooperation of the men who have
w 2 the past made the city progress will accomplish the same things for
#le future and to those we appeal to stand together for the future
greatness of our beloved Fitzgerald.

LEO M. FRANK
. ‘
Victim of Mob--Hanged Near
Marietta.
Manetta, Ga., Aug. 17—L. M.
Frank is dead, a victim of mob law.
Shortly before 7 o’clock this morn
ing he was hanged to an oak tree
in a wood two miles east of here
after having been removed from the
Georgia prison farm, 100 miles
away, late last night, by a band of
twenty-five men. Thus ended the
career of the man who for two years
has maintained his innocence of
the murder of Mary Fagan.
Frank, on his ride to death, was
clothed in a silk night shirt, with
the letters “L. M. F.” embroidered
over his heart. When found to-day
a white handkerchief had been
placed over his face and a piece of
brown cloth bound around his limbs.
His hands were bracketed before
him and his feet were bound with a
piece of rope. The hangman’s knot
lay against his right jaw.
Discovery of the body was made
at 8.30 this morning by searching
parties which had been organized
after Frank'’s removal from the
prison farm became known. The
news spread with lightning-like
rapidity, and within a half hour
hundreds of people, including scores
of women and children, from Ma
rietta and the surrpunding country
side, began to arrive to view it.
This was continued until Coronor
Booth arrived two hours later.

Fitzgerald felt signally honor
ed by the presence of Governor
Harris at the Re-Unlon Tuesday.
Several weeks ago the Secretary
of the Re-Union committee had
extended an invitation to the
Governor to attend the Re-Union
but at that time it appeated prob
able that the business of the
State would make it inconvenient
for him to leave the Capitol, so
that Gov. Harris sent his regrets
at that time,. It was thereforea
matter of great satisfaction that
with the affairs of the State ad
justed, the Governor found time
to pay the city a visit during the
sessions of the Veterans of the
State, his old comrades in-arms.
Gov. Harris has as yet not de
cided what measures he shall
call upon the special session on
the Legislature to solve in addi
tion to the appropriation bill.
However, he has under consid
eration adding the W. &A. bill
the Webb-Canyon Liquor ship
ping bill and may include both
into the call for the special ses
sion. 'l'he Governors stay in the
‘city, which he intended to ex
tend to Wednesday night, was
cut short by the unfortunate acts
of the mob at the State peniten
tiary. The immensity of the af
fair as it affects the moral and
economic welfare of the State.
so overwhelmed the Governor,
that he returned to the Capital
Tuesday night to take personnel
charge of the investigation of
‘the outrage..
