The Short Route is still in the
running and tiie Leader can assure
its readers that with but a slight
change, which is under advise¬
ment, the main tourist travel (over¬
land) will come thru the Colony
City this winter. We are the logic¬
al loule and dont intend to be
sidetracked. YOU WILL SEE

ON BEN HILL COUNTY’S
BOULEVARDS IN 1911.
The city and citizens of Fitz¬
gerald handled the visitors to the
High School contests with the
greatest ease and showed every
courtesy possible to be sure. The
band, the schools there and the
general public met the visitors at
the train, and it almost looked as
if more people met the train than
the ordinary mind would think
lived in that fair city. The auto¬
mobile drive looked as if the line
of autos was anywhere from two
to live miles long, and the mileage
of good streets looked unlimited
Free entertainment for every visi¬
tor, the police force hid out, and
the “Colony City” had no mayor,
no officers, so far as the rights of
the visitors were concerned. Fitzy
is a great city and gave the visitors
one of tho times of their lives.—
Cordele .Sentinel.

THE FITZGERALD LEADER, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1911
The State Press has never to our
recollection been quite so unani¬
mous in its endorsement of an act
on the part of any of our previous
Executives as it is in its endorse¬
ment of the refusal of a pardon to
Stripling by Governor Joseph E.
Brown. In this official act, as in
all previous acts of general inter¬
est, Governor Brown has shown
that Brains and not Belly, Reason
and not Prejudice, control his
official acts. His written opinion
in this last act will be among the
classic literature of Georgia and
will be as a beacon to future Gov¬
ernors confronted with a similar
situation.
We may join Cordele and Fitz¬
gerald with a good Highway some
day, but right now we are going
to build the “Short Route” to
Jacksonville via Fitzgerald and
Jacksonville.—Fitzgerald Leader.
Why talk about “some day,” when
Cordele will help you ‘right now’
to build the other 35 between us,
and put your “short route” into
the National Highway at this point
at once.—Cordele Dispatch.
If Crisp county bordered on
Ben Hill we’d build that 35 miles,
but Turner and Irwin counties
have the most of the mileage to
build so when Hying machines
become more staple we may reach
Cordele with an air line.
The Business men and Farmers
Corn and Cotton Contest is proving
very popular with the farmers. The
fact thi.t there is no charge for
entry and the only rules required
are a registry of the land to be
planted, appeals to the contestants.
Quite a number of Ben Hill Coun¬
ty’s progressive farmers have al¬
ready registered with the Leader.
By May 15th we will publish the
entry list and everybody will keep
an eye on the progress of the race.
Drs. R. M. Ware and A. H.
Denmark have returned from a
road inspection trip to Valdosta,
going by way of Ocilla and Nash¬
ville and returning by Tifton and
Irwinville.
