Buggies and Wgons On Two Years* Time
We have been here long enough, and feel that we know sufficiently well the citizens of Ben Hill and
adjoining counties, to offer them any vehicle in our store, and give this Fall and next Fall to pay for
same. All we ask you to do is to give us a note that we will not be afraid of. It has now become a well
known fact that we carry the best line of Buggies and .Wagons sold in Fitzgerald, and while we do not
claim to be the cheapest, we claim the vehicles we handle cannot be sold cheaper and do a straight-forward
business, and a business that will let us stay among you and leave you a satisfied customer.
We carry in stock the famous Weber Wagons, and if you had seen Mr. C. N. Buck leave our store
the other morning with a Weber Waggon, and in a few minutes came back with 22 sacks of guano in it
and pulled by two small mules, you would not doubt it being light and its ability to carry a load as he had
on it then 4,400 pounds. Almost at the same time J. P. Luke came driving up with a Delker Buggy we
sold him, and with evidence he had had a wreck, and instead of the usual “I want this buggy fixed,” he
told us he came by to show only the good material in same, and any other buggy almost would have been
torn show completely up. We were not surprised, as we’ll take our knife and gladly cut the paint on any wheel
to a man what he is buying. You can buy one of these buggies on two years’ time if you need one.
We have just received two more car loads and have more buggies and wagons in stock than all of our
competitors together. We did not sue or foreclose a single paper last year. Why not trade with people
you know will take care of you? Don’t forget the people—look on our windows for

THE FITZGERALD LEADER. SATURDAY. APRIL 15. 1911
Through committees the Wo¬
man’s Club is asking the owners
of automobiles to decorate their
cars and join in the automobile
parade which will'meet the visitors
at the station Friday the 21st at
3:25 p. m. and conduct them over
some of the drives and through
the business section of the city
and finally to the High School
building, where the business meet¬
ing will be held at 4 o’clock.
Another committee of the Wo¬
man’s Club is seeking homes for
these visitors. It is evident that
Fitzgerald will do herself proud
in the coming event. It is very
gratifying to find such whole
hearted support in this undertak¬
ing.
There are other features that
will be announced later. Don’t
forget that the contests are to be
held in the Court House Friday
night April 21st, and that the
athletic contests will be held on
Main street Saturday morning the
22nd.

Flaggs For Schools
Cause Hot Argument
Tallahassee, April 12.—Consid¬
eration of Senator Perkins’ bill to
provide flags for public schools,
caused some warm debate in the
Florida legislature today, and at
times amendments were offered,
and when it was seen the measure
had created such a furore, it was
indefinitely postponed by a vote of
19 to 9.
Objection to the bill was mainly
on account of the negro question,
an amendment being introdued to
make the negro property owners
bear the expense of the negro
scholls, which, with other amend¬
ments diverted consideration from
the original bill to the negro ques¬
tion.
We have a bunch of old papers
at the Leader Ollice, for sale.
R^awlins Boys To
Serve Terms
This case comes before the ex¬
ecutive office on practically the
same presentation of facts as it
had before the trial court and be¬
fore the supreme court of Geor¬
gia, and the supreme court of the
United States, to which the
appeals of these applicants were
successively made.
I have in previous applications
for executive clemency endeavored
to make clear my conception of
the fact that the executive office
of Georgia was not established as
a court of correction or for the
purpose of setting itself in oppo¬
sition to the courts. I can see no
reason developing in this case to
change the above view.
However, from an exhaustive
reading of the voluminous testi¬
mony in the cases of the above ap¬
plicants before the courts I am
forced to the conviction that the
verdict of the jury was correct as
to each of the defendants, hence,
that the sentence of the trial court
was exactly as required by the
law, and, hence, again, that the
supreme court of the state of
Georgia and the supreme court of
the United States were within the
purview of their powers and duties
when they refused to set aside the
verdict or in any way change it.
