The Douglas Weekly Breeze. FOB OUll COUNTRY AND HER PEOPLE, FIRST AND ALL THE TIME VOL 15, No. 47 A MATTER OF HEALTH Pffl &akikG POWDER Absolutely' Pure HAS MO SUBSTITUTE GEORGIA GINGER CAKES FREE. Will Be Furnished atthe Coffee County Fair to the Hungry Multitudes. One of the unique features of the coming Coffee County Fail will be the production of the famous Geor gia Ginger Cake, made from Coffee County Syrup, on the ground, in full view of the multitudes that will attend, and who will always be ready to test the excellent quali ties of these dainty morsels, dear to the hearts of Georgia boys and girls And the best part of this arrangement is that these cakes will be handed out free. It will be con ducted on the line of a similar fea ture at the St. Louis fair, and the ■suggester, Mr. B. H. Tanner, wants Capt. D. G. Purse, of Sa vannah, to be in control of this de partment. The cakes will be made and furnished fuminishing north and south Georgia editors free, as well as their friends, and this is how the expense will be shared by farmers and merchants: Each farmer who prides himself on his fine syrup will furnish a barrel, and mer chants who are willing to heip in this scheme will donate flour in sacks and barrels, or it may be that some flour mill of Georgia will aid in making the Georgia Ginger Cakes. As we have said, Air. B. H. Tanner is the promoter of this in teresting feature, and he p.omises to donate one or two barrels of fine syrup 'ward making Georgia Ginger Cakes, while we are satis fied other fanners will do as much. Then, as far as flour is concerned the towns of C ffee County will furnish enough to make cakes for all of southern Georgia, in luding Sam Small, of Brunswick and Juo. Greer, of Wuycross. In this connection it may be well to suggest to our farmers that special premiums will be offered for the finest barrel of syrup made , in this county. Presbyterian Entertainment. At the seho !

Tanner, the compe tent and affable Cashier of the Citizens Bank, in this place, in forms us that he will be a member of an organization this fall which will purchase every bushel of sweet potatoes made in this county, if not in this entire section, the pota toes to be sacked and delivered at Douglas, if possible, if not conven ient to the seller, to be delivered at the nearest depot. It is estimated that one acre of good land, well fertilized, will pro duce, if properly cultivated, one hundred and fifty bushels to the acre, at least, and as high as two hundred bushels has been made. Well, figure it out, at 35 cents per bushel and if the acre produces 150 bushels we have $52.00. Sacking and hauling 150 bushels to the depot at 5 cents per bushel would be $7.00; this deducted from $52.00 would leave $45.00 net, per acre. This is better than cotton. It takes two acres of land to pro duce one bale of cotton, which at 10 cents per pound, would bring only $50.00. Cotton is more trou blesome to cultivate and gather than potatoes. So everything con ceded, with a sure market at 35 cents per bushel for potatoes and xo cents per pound for cotton, we have : Two acres potatoes, net $90.00. Two acres cotton, net ...50.00. In favor potatoes bal $40.00. This calculation is made at 35 cents per bushel for potatoes, (good quality, yams and nigger killers only) but we are assured by the gentlemen forming this potato purchasing syndicate that 40 cents : will be paid for the best varities : delivered at the depot. We have endeavored to present 1 this subject in as plain language 1 and figures as we know how, in order tha r our farmer friends may grasp the idea at once, at this time, do their own figuring and plant their crops accordingly. Spring Millinery—Miss Killingsworth & Co. Douglas must congratulate her self that in her rapid strides and wonderful growth two firstc-lass millinery stores are needed to sup ply the wants of her ladies. Miss Minnie4sillingsworfh, one of the leading milliners of Fitzgerald, has established a brach house at this place, which is in immediate charge and supervision of Mabel Sayre, a competent and experienced milli ner, and the ladies of Douglas and vicinity can rest assured of secur ing first-class goods and skillful service. The goods are all of the latest styles—bought purposely for this market and shipped direct from the manufacturers. The la dies have requested the Breeze to extend every lady in the county an invitation to call and see the goods at the opening on the 29th, 30th and 31st. See the advertisement. A prospective patron writes to us from a neighboring village that he “sells coffin’s and caskets,’wants an advertisement »n the Breeze, and hopes the editor will need something in that line before long.” Confoundhim ; we hope we never will need any of his boxes. Douglas, Ga., March 25th, 1905. Bad for the Town- Sometime ago a dispatch was sent out from Fitzgerald, of which the following paragraph is an ex tract : “Because of the division of the social element into Northern and Southern factions, the business harmony of this place is seriously menaced. It is alleged that the Southern element has organized with the intention of ostracising the Northern element, or at least compelling them to move in a sep erate circle.” The above has been copied and commented upon by a number of news papers both in and out of the State, and its author may know more about the state of affairs there than we do, but if be cares any thing about the wellfare of the city in which he lives he has shown bad judgement in publishing the mat ter, even if true, which we hope is not. The editor of the Breeze has made several visits to Fitzgerald, claims that he has some friends there, but in none of his trips has he ever seen a spirit of discord or ostracism among the people. The northern and southern people .all seem to know that the war is over, and we found them vieitig with one another in acts of hospi tality. In social and business mat tery tve did not know one from an other, as far as sectionalism was concerned. All treated us well and we found ourself at home with the northern and southern citizen. Such paragraphs as the above may not seem, on its face, to mean much, but circulated away from home is damaging to the wellfare of the entire section. Society puts a ban on all disreputable persons, in all sections, but we are in doubt as to the existence of a desire among 1 the people of Fitzgerald to do so because of sectional prejudices. In Coffee county a man or wo man is respected if they desire to be. ft LOOISVILLE CHEHHSV Dlscovors a Kaw Product which is proving far moro usaful than Vaseline, V3l*eh HazoO and Arnica.

The target is too far off to allow us to take aim. There is no side-talk about it any longer. Clark Howell is a candi date for governor. Not a word can be said against him that we know anything about. Applications are already pouring in on the railroads asking for ex cursion trains to the seashore. The A. & B. will be in position to han dle the crowds as usual, and will carry them to the most populai re sort in Georgia—Baunswick and her islands. “Brethren,” said a man in the meeting, “so many sinners are ly ing every day that I have come to the conclusion that hell is full.” He sat down when an old deacon, in the amen corner raised the hymn “There’s a place reserved for you. An exchang says it does not pro pose to load its columns with a recital of the crimes and casualities of the section. Then it does not expect to publish the news, but, then, there is a great deal of such news that could be ommitted with profit. The Brunswick Daily News says the handsome and powerful new “red” engine, which has recently been built for the Atlantic and Birmingham railrod, arrived in Brunswick yesterday, and will hereafter be used regularly on the run to and from this city. The en gine is one of the handsomest ever seen in Brunswick or in the state. The powerful monster will be used on the passenger trains. SI.OO per Annum BE CAREFUL BOYS- I This Boy Struck His Companion With a Base Ball Bat. A correspondent writing from ] Americus this week says : Grady larver, the 14-year-old lad who struck a schoolboy companion, Gus Oliver, with a baseball bat, from which blow death resulted subse quently, was admitted to jail this afternoon at the commitment trial in the sum of SI,OOO. Several witnesses testified rela tive to the schoolboy ball game and subsequently tragedy. It appears to be a case of manslaughter at the uttermost. Judge Charles Crisp presided at the preliminary ex amination. City Court Proceedins. City court was convened last Monday morning with His Honor Levi Osteen on the Bench, Sol Dickerson was looking after the interest of the State, and the local and county Bar was represented by Frier and Fuller, of Uroxton, Al len, of Pearson, Pafford, of Nichols, Ward, Quincey and Lankford, of Douglas. The following cases were disposed of. State vs Xach Tovvnsley, color ed, charged with cheating and swindling. Plea guilty, sentence 8 months or S4O. Fine paid. Jim Trice and Clarence Gibson, both of a colored way of cheating and swindling, made same plea received same sentence and paid up like men. Henry Morgan was charged with cursing in the presence of fe males and as he acknowledged the corn with a plea of guilty the Judge let him off with a fine of S4O, which was paid. Sam Jones plead guilty to the charge of assault and battery, was fined SSO, and paid up promptly. John C. Fox denied that he sold the croo he made without the land lord’s consent, but the Jury said he did, and the Judge said he must pay $75.00 and cost or go to the gang. John said he’d see about it later and moved for a new trial. Solicitor Dickerson said be didn’t believe Peruna drops was pizen any how, and if it was lie didn’t believe it would make drunk come if you didn’t drink too much of the stuff, so him and the Judge agreed to knock the nol props from under the cases against some of the boys, and they did. Tuesday morning the Judge saw that the grist in the hopper was running low, so he told the Sheriff, to plow down to the end and take out, and hang the gear on the fence and let the jury go home as Judge Parker would hitch up a new team of jurors with 130 extra ones to se lect from next Monday morning.
