Between dying gloriously on the field of battle and perishing

It pays to keep your eyes on two spots—the advertising pages
of the Leader-Enterprise and the stores of the merchants who adver
tise.
‘Many people would like to be good if they did not miss so much

When you think you have reached the point of human perfection
it is time to back up and take a fresh start. You need it.
Tifton Daily Gazette: People in South Georgia who grumble
because local papers charge half price for obituary notices, cards of
thanks, ctc., would be surprised to see the number of columns of such
notices carried by metropolitan newspapers for which they charge
40 cents a line, or about eight cents a word. A rather curious cus
tom in some cities is the publshing of a memorial of the death of a
loved one. Some of these notices refer to deaths many years ago.
DIXIE HIGHWAY BRIDGE AT FOLKSTON
Those people down in Charlton county are to be congratulated
upon their progressiveness. As stated by their “best ever” road
booster that they have the largest county in area and the smallest in
the state, it becomes even more remarkable that those people should
be the first to bridge the St. Mary.’s river to give inter-state travel
on the Dixie Highway, an all land route into Florida from the north.
The commissioners of Charlton county are now advertising for
bids for the immediate construction of a steel bridge to span the riv
er near Folkston. It was a wild shot when we promised the Dixie
Highway Commissioners that this would be done in 1917 but then
thosé splendid fellows down in Folkston inspired us to make the
guess.
LET'S GO AFTER THE JUDGESHIP FOR FITZGERALD
In view of the elevation of Judge Walter George to the Court of
Appeals, a vacancy will be made in the Cordele Circuit of which Ben
Hill is a part. We believe Fitzgerald should receive the judegship
now, as Cordele has had Judge Whipple and Vienna Judge George.
We understand that there are already several aspirants to the posi
tion in the field, asking for endorsement, as the vacancy will in all
likelihood be filled by Governor Harris within a short time.
The Leader-Enterprise would like to see the position filled by a
man whose experience in law is well known, his integrity unim
peachable and his character above reproach, and we think Fitzgeralc
has just such a man in the person of A. J. McDonald. From a finan
cial standpoint we recognize it would be a sacrifice on the part of
Mr. McDonald to accept a place on the Superior Court bench, as the
salary attached is only $3,000 a year, out of which he has to pay all
of his personal expenses, railroad fare and hotel bills when on the
circuit. Superior Court judges are also prohibited from practicing
law m any of the courts, so that this paltry $3,000 constitutes the
entire income for the judge for a year. But life is made up of sacri
fices and we would like to see Mr. McDonald accept this position in
the interest of good government and law enforcement.
iiverybody reads the ads and nearly everybody remembers what
they read. :
- Mrs. Jones remarks to' Mrs. Smith that she simply must go to
the store and get a new dress pattern, or a winter coat, or possibly
a mew hat. - Mrs. Smith has read of the latest creations at some
store in Fitzgerald and immediately springs her knowledge upon
Mrs. Jones, who simply can't resist the temptation to go and see for
herself. Once there she generally buys. -
Jfarmer Hankinsgon needs a new set of harness, or a plow, or
some other implement for progressive.farming. His neighbor ‘has
read the up-to-date ad of the implement house in the local paper and
ancidentally mentions that So-and-So carries a good article, which he
is ‘advertising quite heavily. This excites Farmer Hankinson's cu-
Tiosity and he “just drops in to see it." He, too, often ends with a
buy.
The woman's club, or the sewing circle, or the pink tea ladies
get together and spend the afternoon or evening gathering up stray
bits of information. Anything that.has attracted the eye of any
1 tlember comes in for discussion, and nothing is more dear to their
i carts than those delightful things that were advertised in the last
: sue of the Leader-Enterprise. Of course they all want to know
¢ out them, and then they must see them, and in the end they buy
it em, ;
Bill Dulittle wants a new overcoat, and the well written over
« “tad never gets by him. He drops in and looks over the coats of
v Lich the merchant has spoken so glowingly. They are as repres
¢ ted, and he buys.
Yes, they all read the ads, and they talk about the goods they
riad about, and they buy when they are sufficiently interested to talk
about them. ~ ‘ 3

$30,000 WORTH OrF
HAY IS DESTROYED
Macon, Ga., September 25.
Fire, the origin or which is un
known, broke out yesterday morn
ing at 7:30 o’clock in the ware
house of the National Milling
Company, on the banks of the
Ocmulgee river, Fifth ‘and Oc
mulgee streets, and by noon had
completely destroyed the shcet
iron building, valued at about $3,-
000, and badly damaged or des
troyed the contents, between 25,-
000 and 30,000 bales of alfalfa
hay which, according to one of
the employees of the place, was
valued at about $30,000.
C. L. Shepard, secretary, stated
yesterday that no accurate in
formation could be obtained as to
the exact loss until his bpoks
have been checked over and the
exact number of bales the ware
house contained is ascertained.
He stated that the loss is largely
covered by insurance.
ONE KILLED; DOZEN HURT
IN CHURCH ROW
Waycross, Ga., September, 25.
—A dispute which is alleged to
have started over Lloyd Moore’s
criticising Hall Verine for attend
ing a church festival while drink
ing whisky Sunday night broke
up a settlement gathering near
Telmore in the upper part of this
county, with a general fight.
Moore was killed almost instantly
it is alleged, by Verine, who is al
so said to have perhaps fatally
cut Sam Baldwin and seriously
slashed two others who tried to
stop him. Richard George was
painfully wounded when he was
struck by bullets from Baldwin’s
pistol. Baldw'n was attempting
to shoot Verine. Probably a doz
en received minor bruises and
cuts, getting away from the
church. Many jumped through
windows.
Sheriff Dave Pittman and dep
uties are searching the county to
day for Verine.

HOW TO LIVE LONG
Plenty ot work and plenty of
play is the main secret of longe
vity. If you want to live beyond
the allotted span the first thing
is to keep on taking an interest
in what surrounds you.
If those who come to the con
clusion that life is not worth Jiv
ing who die before their time,
whereas the incurabie opumist
who is eager for all the news and
serenely lays out a new planta
tion in his seventieth year is as
likely as not to reach the century
mark.
The power of interest to con
quer disease and senile decay is
wonderful. Except by accident
or such disease as may fairly be
called accidental, healthy people
rarely die so long as they are
cager to live.—Exchange.
A sly bargain takes its toll in
a guilty conscience.

JUDGE FRANK HARWELL
WILL OPPOSE PRICE
Macon, Ga., September 25.
Probably the most interesting
development of last night’s talk in
the hotel lobbies between conven
tion delegates, is that Judge
Frank Harwell, of LaGrange,
will make the race for the su
preme court bench to succeed
Justice J. Henry Lumpkin, de
ceased, opposing Judge-Price Gil
bert, of Columbus, appointed to
fill the unexpired term of Judge
Lumpkin.
Judge Harwell was the active
campaign manager for Hugh
Dorsey in the primary, and his
chief appeal in the coming race
will be to the Dorsey supporters,
Judge Harwell was a powerful
factor, Dorsey men concede, in
the Fulton county man’s success
ful race for the governorship, and
is making the race upon their soli
citation. ! .
Justice Lumpkn died two or
three days before the democratic
primary, and Judge Gilbert was
selected by Governor Harris to
fll the unexpired term. Under
the law, when a vacancy is creat
cd between the primary and the
general clection, the vacancy ie
to be filled in the general election
Judge Gilbert and Judge Harwell
will oppose cach other in the gen
eral election on Nov. 12. :
The Fourth Congressional Dis
trict caucus, comprising delegates
from Muscogee, Judge Gilbert's
home county, and other counties
in that section of the state, last
night instructed Edgard Chancel
lor, secretary of the caucus, to
record with the convention a res
olution passed by them, in which
it is urged that no endorsement
be given to either Judge Gilbert
or Judge Harwell for the place.
There is no precedent for such
action, the resolution sets forth,
except in the instance of Judge
Candler, seven or eight years ago,
when conditions were different
from those of this period.

INNES APPEAL TO BE
HEARD OCTOBER 9
Atlanta, Ga., September 23.
Argument on the appeal for a
new trial for Victor E. Innes, the
Portland, Ore., lawyer under sen
tence of seven years on the charge
of appropriating to his own use
money of the missing Eloise Den
nis, has been scheduled for Octo
ber 9, before the State Court of
Appeals.
Preparations for the hearing
Monday were being made by
Judge John S. Candger, fudge J.
K. Hines and C. L. Pettigrew,
counsel for the prisoner, and by
the solicitor’s office.
The argument will be on tech
nical points raised by the defense
in the trial of Innes, the chief of
which is the contention that the
Fulton courts had no jurisdiction
to try Innes.
It will be contended by the In
nes lawyers that, in the event the

crime of larceny after trust was
committed by Innes, the venue
was outside of the state of Geor
gia, and that his conveitno and
sentence, therefore, 1s null and
void. Should the court sustain
this point, this would have the
effect of freeing the noted prison
er, that is, as-far as Georgia is
concerned.
A decision is expected by the
latter part of October, or early in
November.
Great interest is felt in the de
cision, for the reason that it not
only will settle the fate of Innes,
but will determine the course of
the state in the case of his wife,
Mrs. Ida May Innes, jointly ac
cused with him. The decision
virturally will decide the case of
Mrs. Innes, as the evidence in
both cases is the same. Her trial
was postponed pending the out
come of her husband’s appeal.
