Our Washington Letter\
Washington, D. C.,
Aug. 25, 1915,
The Leader-Enterprise,
Fitzgerald, Ga.,
Dear Editor: |
I have just received the Leader-
Enterprise, giving an account of
the grand re-union of the Confede
rate veterans at Fitzgerald Geor
gia. lam glad to see the Grays
and the Blues are mingling.togeth
er in one common cause in a united
country, the most glorious coun
try in the world. I am glad to see
the hospitality shown by Fitzger
ald’s people in the magic city of
Georgia, and the magnificiently
cordial welcome extended to the
Grays by theold boys in Blue
and the ladies of the W. R, C.
What a glorious thing it is to
dwell together in unity!
I am very sorry that I could
not have been there to mix and
mingle with my old comrades, the
southern heroes of Georgia, and
the old comrades in blue from
the north and west. It would
have been a glorious meeting for
me. It makes me proud of my
city to see such glowing reports
coming in from different camps
from the “‘old vets.” I would be
pleased when the old comrades in
blue attend the grand re-union if
they will call on me. I will show
them all the courtesy and assis
tance that I can give them in
showing them the beautiful sights
of Wishington while they so ad
journ here. 1f any of the old com
rades want & home while here in
Washington attending the re
uuion if they will write me four
or five days before they leave
Fitzgerald, I can get them a room
at a dollar a night in a good 10-l
cation near the Capitol, a short
distance from headquarters. I liveJ
at 322 Second street, Southeast,
near St, Peters church. I will be
glad to meet any one from Fitz-l
gerald on this occasion. They will
find me at the library door in
the house office building from
Ba.m. to 4 p. m.
Some news for the cotton plan
ters coming South. $30,000,000
relief given by the Government to
tinance the cotton crop. The gov
ernment takes the first step to
move the cotton crop caused by
the decree of war placing embargo
on cotton by England and France
as counterband. I think that now
it would be a fine plan for the
south to put the embargo on
raising cotton, reduce the crop
and increase the price. The south
don’t have to raise cotton and sell
1t to the European government at
the cost of production,
The United States and the south
are self sustaining- We don’t have
to have their silks and satins and
fine linens. We American people
have manufacturers of our own
that we can manufacture goods
good enough for any nation to
wear. Take the Palm Beach suit
thav’s manufactured in the South,
by our southern factories. They
are nice enough for lords, kings
and queens to wear. Everpbody’s
wearing them.
In the last two weeks there has
been -about as much excitement
and talk tere in Washington about
the lynching of Leo Frank as
about the FEuropean war. Some
of the people are condemning, and
others are confirming the action
of the lynchers. I answered them
invariably, in my opinion the ex-
Governor Slayton made a mistake
in commuting Frank’s sentence to
life imprisonment and in not lett
ing the courts carryovt the verdict
of the jury,! The mob made a
mistake in lynching Frank but
two wrongs never make a right,
I believe that God will hold these
men responsible ‘for the deed,
when they weet him in judgement.
No man or band of citizens has a
right to take that that they can’t
give. Christ says, ‘“‘vengence is
mine, and I will repay.” :
I will give some war statisticts
that has been gathered here and
there, The Germans have lost in
a recent naval battle, ten battle
ships in Riga waters on the high
sea, The German submarines
have sunk 13 British large battle
ships since Feb, 18th. The ton
nage of these ships being 140,000
tons. The British experts esti
mates the German army on the
‘eastern and western front of
Russia numbering 3,200,000 strong
and their losses at 2,000,000.
France lost in battle 46.000,
killed and wounded 660,000.
England 181,000, killed and
wounded 200,000,
Turkey 110,000, killed, and
wounded_l44,ooo.
Austria killed 1,610,000 and
wounded 1,860,000.
Russia lost in battls 1,260,000,
killed and wounded 168,000.
Belgium lost in battle 49,000,
killed and Wound;:d_49,ooo.
This will give the readers of the
‘Leader-Enterprise some idea what
the warring nations have been
doing since the war was declared
in Europe. |,
We will turn to some of the §-
nancial recources of the United
States, and agricultural conditions. i
We have made the greatest wheat 1
crop that ever has been produced
THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, WEDNESDAY, SEP. 1, 1915
in America, We have a billion
bushel at our command; all the
other cereals in .the same propor
tion. Uncle Sam’s gold reserve
is the biggest that the world
ever has known. There is more
gold- in the United State than
any other country in the worid.
The latest treasury figures
show that on Aug. 2nd, there
were $2,006,399,539 in gold cash
and bullion, The greatestTstock
of gold of any country in the
world, probably greater than any
two countries in the world.
This shows that we are able to
finance the world.

Work Starts On
Highway Thru Pierce
- Wayecross, Ga., Sept. I. Dixie
Highway boosters will learn with
much interest that the Pierce
county strip of the ‘‘short cut”
route is now receiving attention
and will be in first class shape
within a short time.
Grading of the route through
Pierce started today and will be
rushed. Contract for building
the highway has been given to
Neal Cameron. The Pierce coun
ty part of the highway is six and
three-quarter miles long and has
been the only part of the short
route that has given the backers
of the highway any serious wor
ry.
The badly needed bridges in
Pierce county’s part of the high
way are being built by I. T.
Hickox, to whom the contract
was recently awarded.
