FATAI, ACCIDENT CARRIES ITS LESSON
Way ross, Sept. 29.—Palmer Bosworth, 14 year old son
ofF Mrs. W. 1. Fve, of Tampa, Fla,, died here today of injuries re
cowwedd yesterday «uring a foothall game. His skull was fractured,
sl according to spectators, he was tackled by two opposing play-
TS '
The boy, with his mother, was visiting relatives here. This is
the first death from injuries resulting from football reported in this
waciyom this year.
The above news item brought tears to many mothers in the city
wha knew the splendid little man, the pride of his mother and the
wdol of his grandmother, Mys. Beck, a former resident of this city.
Fallen a victim to the fool idea prevalent in schools that to make
5 yoan ot of a boy they must be taught to fearlessly tear each other’s
Sothes, hair and recklessly maim one’s adversary or courageously
Jlomy others to mmfifet these terrors upon themselves. Brutality, no
matter under whatsoever guise, can never be excused and though
schaols have built their reputations upon football teams, it is a’ pity
that fathers and mothers stand by and see their children made vic
ts of a falsc standard of courage and usciulness.
At best, cven granting that accidents with fatal results are rare,
what s there gained for the hundreds of other boys belonging to the
schoal, by the exercise that is prescribed for the chosen eleven’s suc
wess? To watch a game of such ferocious tendencies can only tend
#o Bomtabize the onlooker. Regulated gymnastic exercises in which
ali the pupils take part under the guidance of a trained instructor
“awsald bring the beneficial results of regular exercise to all the pupils.
Fitzgerald may well look to its laurels, once so well recognized by
the schools of Sonth Georgia, but our pupils should advance intellec
sually rather than through sprinting or high jumping, or any other
«f the mere physical accomplishments, which may be found fully de
aeloped in the lower animals,
" ORGANIZERS CF LABOR AND CAPITAL
“The thonght of the walking delegate, or organizer of labor unions
dloes not at first appeal to us. But when we hear employers of labor
speak of 'outsiders coming in and interfering with the laboring men,
wr remember that these same men do not resent capitalist coming
fronn distant states, and putting in their dollars, drawing dividends
and ghvmg advice as to how })\'.Mi(‘ l\fifi\y \‘nrln\l';lli(il\.s should be or
ganizod andconducied. We do not blame them for this. We com
mend them and woelcome the capitalist Doth with his dollars and his
advice. . But we cannot sce why one principle apptes to the capita
fist and another to the laboring man. 1 the capitalist has the right
10 come and give advice, surely the laboring man has the same right.
M the exyfert in money matters and in the orgafizationr of capital
should be receir 2d with open arms, something might be said for the
expert in 1_}\.!)0!‘11\;: matters and in the organization®of labor. li“the
capitglist can call for expert advice, so may the laborer, with justice,
it seems txi ns. But above both labor and capital is the right of the
pablic 1o anbroken service. This, in-a measure, was the object of
the arbitration law proposed by friends of both capital and labor in

to G F, Willis, . Atlanta, Ga,,
reads as follows:
Dear Sir: You will find enclos
:d a testimonial from Professor
ixlmer Morris, who 1s one of my
customers. Professor Morris hau
a delicacy in expressing himselt
and granted me the right to give
you the particulars in his case.
He tells me that he has been a
rreat sufferer from chronic stom
ich and bowel trouble, and never
lad . been wble to get anything *o
give him any relief. He fell oif
m weight from 225 pounds to 177
oounds. He went to Dawson
Springs, Ky, and when he can«
vack he sa'd he was no better.
I persuaded him to try Tanlac.
He weighed on my scale at the
tme he began taking it and only
weighed 170 ponads, After tak
ing three i«ttles ot Tanlac he hal
sained 20 puonds. - When he
brought this testimonial to me he
had gained 4 pounds more ard
weighed 194. He did not want to
ret back to 225 pounds and he ce
cided to qu:t taking Tanlac.
This man is a teacher in the
public schools in Stewart county,
Tern. He fives here in one miie
of my store’ and bought the fan
lac from me. His true postofhce

follow: .
“I have just finished my third
bottle of Tanlac and have gained
20 pouncs. i just weighed 170
poun’s avd row 1 weigh 190, and
never felt better in my life.

irom stomach trouble for about
one ycar. [ tried every doctor I

to be the best medicine I éver
tried. ;
Yours truly,
“PROF. ELMER - MORRIS.”

JRAND JURY ORGANIZED
The Grand Jury organized this
norning with Hon. J. G. Min
shew foreman, and Mr. G. L. Kil
rease as clerk. C. Floyd will act
1s bailiff.
Judge George delivered a very
itrong charge on the need of law
nforcement to the body, especial
y laying stress on enforcing all
aws and the unwise theory that
ny one law should be enforced
vith more vigor than any other.
The motive, according to the
‘udge’s charge, for having special
nisdemeanor cases brought to
he attention of the Grand Juries
i the state, is found in the pre
sumption that, if the minor laws
wre particularly enforced the
reater offenders will be restrain
'd through the fear of certain
cumshment. The charge was well
seceived hy the large gathering of
itizens and scemed to have made
1 strong imbression on the grand
iurors to whom they were ad-
Iressed. The personnel of the
ury is:
