The open saloon is not likely
to be aga'n legalized in Georgia,
but it will be well to keep an eye
on Dick Russell and not enter too
many Prohis for the Governor’s
race. It will require a united
effort on th part of the several
counties to ovetcome the saloon
interests of the cities. The coun¬
ty unit plan of the past would
have forstalled this attempt. The
new rule in Georgia politics unit-
ed the issue. The people may yet
see the unsoundness of the county
unit rule and elect a State
Executive Committee which wili
re-establish it for the State
Democracy.
City Politics.
Several new aspirants for al-
dermanic honors are making
their announcement in*today's
Leader. Others are spoken of
and may make their announce¬
ments later. Every phase of
political alignment has its candi¬
date and the voter will have am¬
ple assortment from which to
make his selection. The impor¬
tance of this, we fully appreciate,
but as the announced candidates
are all men of well know stand¬
ing, we do not see the necessity
of stressing the abilities or vir¬
tues of an v special one or set. The
cityjwill be well served in the
election of any five of them.
Should the circumstances war¬
rant it, we may take up the cause
of a ticket for Aldermen after
Sept. 9th, when the entries close.
The official representative of
the anti-prohis, Dick Russell,
hasn’t created the enthusiasm
that his backers expected. The
people are not in the notion of
giving up a trial of prohibition
at the first call of the whisky
ring. \
The Governor’s race will soon
become interesting. Joseph M.
Brown is expected to enter the
lists shortly. He is the strong¬
est ma; >n the state for the anti¬
saloon men to concentrate on.
His prohibition record and the
steadfast refusal to aid the saloon
interests during his administra¬
tion have made him the logical
candidate. Ben Hill County will
give him a majority.
The Sheriff and police depart¬
ment are after the blind tigers,
and the court docket shows the
result of their efforts. J. R.
Reynolds is the latest catch added
to the growing list of illicit
whiskey sellers. Others will
soon be caught in the judicial
net.
Judges Cotton Contest
Getting Up Data
The Executive Committee of
the Business men and Farmer’s
Cotton and Corn Contest has ap¬
pointed Messrs Marcus Luke,
Elisha Paulk, and R. L. Troup
as Judges for the Cotton Contest
and these gentlemen are now
busy getting their data together.

The Board Of The
Amusement Committee, And The
At a recent meeting of the Board of Governors for the County j
Fair, we emphatically stated our opposition to connecting a Garni*;
val with the Fair. V/e tendered our resignation to the President
and informed him th :t the lots controlled by us, and which we
had tendered to the Fair Association for Fair purposes, could not
be used for a Carnival nor for the Fair if a Carnival was invited,
We have stated our reasons for opposing the Carnival.
ters, mothers, teachers, business men and farmers have expressed
their approval of our position. The cost is too high to the
munity, the stream of immorality and vice flowing from such
gregations can be traced months after their departure. You might
as well attempt to stay the flow of the Mississippi as to reform a
Carnival retinue. Its entire revenue rests on graft and gambling.
The officers of the law are asked to declare an open season for tin
horn gamblers for the Fair week, to give them free license to ply
their trade, to ensnare our city boys and country cousins—all to
satisfy the pride PRIDE OF A FAILURE.
How To Keep Horses
In Good Condition
It is, in brief, to be prevented
by: (1) Feeding a balanced ration
with sufficient variety. (2) By
working the animals that are soft
and unaccustomed to hard work,
moderately, until their muscles
become har ened and accustomed
to it. With a heavy winter coat
of hair, soft muscles and soft foot¬
ing, or soft ground, even mooerate
work may be very severe on a
horse or mule early in the spring.
( 3 ) By gradually and slowly in¬
creasing the feed as the work is
increased and never giving quite
as much as the animals would eat.
There is no better way to main¬
tain the appetite of a horse than
to never quite satisfy that appe¬
tite. In fact, in finding a horse
or any other animal, it is better to
give him a little less than he will
o: up promptly. Fed in this way,
In dl not only keep a better ap-
i , but will stand up to harder
v or put on more increase in
v' lit; How shall we corre
t is trouble when for any cause
we have failed to prevent it? The
average man at once thinks of
medicine, or tonics. These are
very good, in their place; but are
not the most important measures
to be used, nor are they of much
value without proper feeding and

Palmetto Trees
For Wa.ycross
Waygross, Ga., Aug. 26.—To¬
day the city gang finished planting
150 pa'metto trees along Plant ave¬
nue and around the city parks,
this being part of the city’s plan
of improvement. The agitation
for an avenue of palmetto trc< s
has been going on in W’aycross
for over a year. Th; trees are
large ones, secured ftom Florida,
ana set the main street of the city
off to an advantage. The city is
meeting co-operation on every
hand in their improvemennt cam¬
paign that is making such a change
throughout Waycross.
care. By the word care we mean
to include growing, feeding and
regulating the work.
' From the foregoing it will
plainly follow that the first thing
we would do would be to reduce
the feed and work. No more
should be fed than the animals
wili eat up clean and want more,
however small that amount may
be. It will not do to feed a whole
lot and then take away that which
they refuse to eat. They have
then eaten all they wanted and
satisfied their appetites and this
means that tliev have eaten too
much for the best conditions for
increasing the appetite. If the
feed must be reduced to one-half,
or one-fourth of a ration, then
the work should also be reduced
in a proportional manner.
No matter how much you may
need the animal it is economy of
feed and tune to reduce the feed
and work to the point above indi¬
cated, even though, at first, not
more than one-tenth the feed is
consumed or one tenth the work
done that the animal is capable of
doing when in good condition. As
the animal increases his consump¬
tion of feed the work may also be
increased, but no faster, and mall
cases it will pay to increase both
feed and work slowly, rather than
try to force m at ters—Raleigh (N

.WANTED TO MAKE
$50,000.oo Collection jin Fitzgeral
They Would Desire to Seiect a VERY STRONG Bank here.
To find that bank they would look into their bank directory and find a bank
having large deposits, large reserve and controlled by a highly rated set of directors
and officers. To find out the rating of these officers and directors they could consult
their mercantile rating agencies.
An examination and inquiry into the standing of The Exchange National
Bank, therefore, would convince them that they could find no safer bank in this sec-
tion of the state to handle their large collection. The Exchange National Bank
always has more reserve than the National Bank Law requires.
Its stockholders are very strong men financially, most of them self-made, and
of a live and let live kind.
We exhibit below our list of directors, who have been successful in their own
affairs, are men of large holdings, and who meet once a month to give the highest
order of direction to the affairs of The Exchange National Bank.
ROBERT V. EOWEN, Capitalist.
J. B. CLEMENTS, Capitalist and Planter.
W. R. BOWEN, President Empire Mercantile Co.
J. J. DORMINEY, President Dorminey-Price Lum¬
ber Company.
T. S. PRICE, President Ashley-Price Lumber Co,
E. T JAMES, President Planters Warehouse and
Loan Company.
The Honorable Comptroller of the Currency in Washington says in effect:
i i Give me a strong set of stockholders, a strong set of directors and a tried and
proved set of active officers, and you give me a strong bark.”
It is no wonder, therefore, that this bank has ver'” large deposits and stands in-
such high favor with the people of Fitzgerald and surrounding territory.
We shall always endeavor to lend our money first to those good deserving peo¬
ple who have deposited with us, and with whom we have become acquainted, then
we will next serve those deserving people, who have not been able to deposit consider¬
ably with us, always trying to help the different sections around us from whence we
get our patronage.
We shall always endeavor to treat people so liberally until they shall feel that
they have profited by dealing with us, as well as we our elves have profited.
We invite new accounts, and would be glad to discuss in a strictly confidential
way, with prospective patrons their business affairs and probable needs.
