Dublin, by the way, has recently pruned her city expenses with
fervor, if not with eclat, while Fitzgerald has increased her appro
priations to city schools and to the Carnegie Library. Which leads
to the possibility that, though considerably c”ntlcw.ed at times, her
city fathers are not ncarly such “step-fathers” as some of our good
people think.
Along the line of Fitzgerald’s superiority, we want to call atten
tion to the editorial statement of the Macon Telegraph that 148 cities
in the United States have appointed ‘“city planning commissions”
to see that the cities shape themselves as they grow into sightly
vistas. Fitzgerald was layed out twenty-seven years ago according
to a “city plan.” It has grown according to this “city plan” of the
early colonists. . ;
A NEW SIDELIGHT ON HIGHWAYS |
AND SOUTH GEORGIA SPIRIT |
Tifton was witness to a big thing Sunday when three neighbor
cities sent fire fighting units speeding along the highways to protect
her from threatening flames. It was the first time such generdl
“sectional unity” had been tested, and it stood up beautifully under
the test. A
All Fitzgerald hurtled along the road to Tifton in that big red
fire truck. It was a sort of heroic Valentine from Fitzgerald *%to a
sister city. The aid, fortunately, proved to be unnceded, but the will
to aid was there. Tifton, Sylvester, Cordele and Fitzgerald can feel
more strongly than ever the bond of mutual interdependence
between them and between all cities in this great South Georgia
land. The fire Sunday was an unusual and outstanding demonstra
tion of it; more subtle evidences ean be found in every day’s work.
That occurence Sunday should get county commissioners all
along the line to thinking, too. The Fitzgerald truck refjuired fifty
minutes for the trip, a phenominal speed and one which actually
endangered the lives of all the men on the truck a half dozen times
during the journey. We should have smooth, straight, paved high
ways between cach city of this section. Better protection against a
general conflagration in any one of them is just one of many good
reasons why,
UNITED WE STAND:
DIVIDED WE FALL
Mean, spiteful, petty jealousy has killed more things than any
other one force. The petty spirit of wanting all the credit and refus
ing to do anything that may rebound to the credit of another, leads
to no progress or development, but only to stagnation and deteri
oration, helping no one, hurting all. "The kind if “unselfish service”
that is given only in exchange for a major portion of limelight is
better urgjven. -In any really worthwhile enterprise there is credit
enough to go around, anyway.
Nothing big can be gained for a community by the unaided
efforts of a few individuals, or a single group of individuals. It
takes the willing cooperation of all. If Fitzgerald is to live down
her semi-stagnation of growth from 1910 to 1920, all her public
spirited citizens and civic organizations must help in worthwhile
public movements. Clique enviousness and factional jealousy will
get no one and get no community anything but vain regrets. Let’s
pull together, folks,
AAR R URS
WHERE WE MUST FIGHT
Says the Tifton Gazette: -
“That the Dixie Highway is in bad shape South of Waycross is
no news to the readers of the Gazette for the past three years, but
some of the newspapers along that line are beginning to recognize
the fact. See where a Fitzgerald man is among the last to admit
it. Perhaps now there will be improvement. When a man is sure
that there is nothing the matter with him, it is pretty hard to get
him to take necessary medicine.”
It is no longer of usey no longer safe, to close our eyes to the
fact that our Dixie Short Route is going to forfeit the popularity
which its natural advantages warrant, unless the folks along the
line from Waycross to Folkston wake up speed the work of putting
the route into tip top condition,
While it is true that the highway is in no worse shape than
most roads through the sandy section of South Georgia, that excuse
is no reason for not making it better than all of them. No trans
continental highway is better than its weakest section. “T'he Dixie
Highway from Chicago averages better all along the line than any
other highway, including that which passes through Tifton. The
Dixie Short Route from Jacksonville to Macon will still be the best
route for tourists returning in the Spring by motor from Florida,
but it should be a lot better.
MR. BUGG CORRECTS
STATEMENT IN LEADER
The Leader-Enterprise takes pleas
ure in printing herewith a letter from
President B. L. Bugg of the A. B. &
A. Railway in regard to a misstate
ment made by one of our editorial
page contributors. The error was not
wilful and the Leader-Enterprise
wishes above all things to he fair in
this dispute. The correction follows:
Mr, Isidor Gelders, Editor,
Leader-Enterprise & Press,
Dear Sir:
My attention has been called to the
following statement in vour issue of
the 16th, published under heading :
“IN THE LISTENING POST
Facts, Figures and Fiction
Y easmmnaneosuoMr. Buge also in
forms us that among the various items
to' be paid is an interest account upon
$40,000,000. worth of mortgages on
the road, otherwise known as bonds.”
As I have at no time made such a
statement, and as such a statement is
not true, I think it should be coretted.
Since the road was re-organized in
1916. the only mortgage bonds on it |
which can be foreclosed for nm\—p;ly-!
ment of interest are an old issue of |
$4.090000 Atlantic & Birming‘haml
Railway bonds, which bear interest at
5%—5204,500 a year. It is necessary |
‘to pay this interest to hold the mad%
together. This is a difference of|
only $35910,000 from the statement
printed. |
- You also make reference to the
statement which I have made lhut!
“the railroad is losing money (‘\'(‘l‘_\'i
month to the tune of $100,000." 1|
have stated a number of times and
now repeat that the deficit of $lOO,OOO
a month does not include any interest

at other times my back would ache
so bad that 1 could hardly get up
