DECORATION AND
MEMORIAL DAY.
It was fifty years ago yester
day, May 30th, that the beautiful
custom’ of placing flowers on the
graves of the dead heroes of the
War Between the States was in
augurated. Since the founding
of the Fitzgerald Colony by Un
ton soldiers it has been the cus
tom for a large delegation to go
to Andersonville and hold memo
rial services there. Yesterday six
coaches conveying 250 from Fitz
gerald with many more from ad
joining towns, together with 29
automobiles, gathered to pay tri
bute to the honored dead at this
National cemetery. The day was
beautiful until about noon when
the crowd was obliged to retreat
to the Rest House on account of
rain, where the program was car
ried out. Rev. E. G. Orahood de
livered the address, “America’s
Progress,” which was a very elo
quent effort. A quartette com
posed of Mrs. L. A. Turner, Mrs.
J. A. Parrott, Dr. Turner and Mr.
Whitman furnished the music.
The exercises here in the city
were under the direction of Post
14, the W.R. C,, and the ladies of
the G. A. R. who assembled at
the W. R. C. hall at nine o’clock,
where the program was carried
out. The address by Rev. Somers
of the U. B. church was on the
history of the Decoration Day,
which was inaugurated in 1868,
and was filled with patriotic
thoughts.
A solo by Mrs. Mary Green,
telling of “The Boy in Blue” was
much enjoyed and the exercises
closed by singing “America.” |
Automobiles and other convey
ances then conveyed the crowd
to Evergreen cemetery where the
graves of the Union Veterans to
gether with those of the Confed
erate dead were alike lovingly
covered with flowers.

PINK BOLL WEEVIL
Atlanta, Ga., May 29.—Local
cotton men have been advised
that the Egyptian government
now prohibits without exception
the importation into that country
of cotton plants, cotton lint, cot
ton seed, seed cotton and cottton
stalks. This is the result of the
introduction into Egypt of the
pink boll worm in badly ginned
Indian cotton.
It appears that the Egyptian
law’is much more drastic than the
regulations which *the U. S. de
partment of agriculture has estab
lished for the fumigafion of all
foreign cotton coming into the
United States. The American
plan, however, it is believed, pro
vides adequate protection for the
cotton growing interests of the
country and at the same time im
poses no more restrictions upon
the industrial use of foreign cot
ton than are essential.

AN EXPLANATION
(Advertisement)
Editor Leader-Enterprise:
In regard to the accident about
six o'clock Monday evening in
which my car collided with that
of Mr. Wilmer Turner, I wish to
say thzt the accident was not
my fault in the least. I was driv
ing on South Grant street toward
Pine at about ten miles per hour
or less and just as I reached Pine
street another auto crossed in
front of me, going east, and com
pletely blockaded me, causing me
to hit it, bending my fender. The
other machine was driven by a
negro, who Wilmer’ Turner says
has driven for three years, but
who Chief Strickland says was at
the wheel of the car for the first
time.
After the collision I turned
east and went as far as Thomas
street where I turned around and
came back to find out the identity
of the owner of the other car and
see how it happened. The other
car turned north and stopped near
Central avenue. The owner, Wil
mer Turner, came back and
charged that I had broken three
spokes- in his wheel. This seems
improbable, as the impact was not
severe enough to choke down
either engine. It is my belief
that the wheel was hurt in an ac
cident to the Turner car awhile
back when it ran up a high bank
into a tree.
This is just to let you know
my side of the occurrence and to
exonerate me from all blame for
the accident.
Yours truly,
Mrs.. William . McCormick.
