GEORGIA’S COSMOPOLIS
| Fitzgerald Leader-Enterprise and Press: “Did you know this
Fitzgerald is the most cosmopolitan city of its size in the South?
Natives from forty-cight states and ninetcen foreign nations live
here.”
i By the way, some months ago the Savannah Morning News
ran a series of little “boxed” features calling to the attention in a
“Did you know ?’heading to salient pointg about the port of Savan
‘nah. The Macon Teclegraph then saw it was a good feature and ran
‘a long series of fine paragraphs of like kind about good points about
‘Macon. Now the Fitzgerald paper is doing effective work of the
‘same sort.—Savannah Morning News.
A NEW HAND AT THE HELM OF v
THE SHIP OF STATE
K Today is a big day in American affairs. A new president is be
ing innaugurated ; a new political party is taking charge and will put
‘different theory of government into operation.
% Eight ycars ago today the Leader-Enterprise carried an editor
-lal on the occasion of Wilson’s first innauguration. It recalled that
‘the United States had had warrior presidents that had made it
‘strong as a fighting power, lawyer presidents who had given it a
‘system of laws better than any other nation. It predicted that Wil
_son, the first school teacher to become president, would see that its
“educational system was made the best in the world.
* The eight years of Wilson’s administration have seen some
strides made toward the goal of better education but the
great accomplishment that should have been attributed to the Wilson
administration, the establishing” of a Unied States Department of
Education, under the pending Smith-Towner bill, will go to the credit
of the incoming Harding administration. It will be, however, a re
sult of the professor-president’s work.
The Smith-Towner bill has been criticized by many who do not
understand it. However, the idea is a good one, its purpose is
splendid, and one of the big things that come out of the administra
tion of a professor-president.
The Leader-Enterprise believes that the new administration
will bring about an early improvmeent in business conditions. Har
ding will take a sensible attitude toward American foreign markets.
The biggest help will be the fact that people will think business con
ditions will improve. “Asa man thinketh so he is” and as many men
think so are they. Look for cotton to go up a little, money to be
come more plentiful, business to be brisker, and things generally
more satisfactory. But the difference won’t be just because it is
Republicans that are running the government. It will be because
people epect those things to happen and will themselves make them
happen.
FITZGERALD CURB MARKET
OPENS TOMORROW
The Fitzgerald Curh Market will open tomorrow, Saturday,
morning, at 9 o’clock. It will probably open in a small way. Big
things usually start that way. The Farm Bureau and the Woman’s
Club have both labored hard and well to make the opening as impos
ing as possible, but if the first day does not prove as big as the
dreams of either, neither should be discouraged.
Two classes of people have a distinet and heavy obligation in
this curb market project. The women of Fitzgerald are under an
obligation to themsclves and to the farmers to patronize the curb
market from its beginning. The farmers are under obligation to
themselves and to the women of Fitzgerald to bring what produce
they can to the market for sale. 1f each fulfills its obligation, both
will profit.
The housewives of the city can get their food cheaper and fresh
er at the curb market than they can get it otherwise. The farmer
can get a better average price for his produce and get it with less in
convenience than he can get it otherwise. The curb market is a
good thing.' It should be a big success. It will be a big success if
both classes of people to be benefitted by it will support it faithfully.
SOMETHING EXTRAGRDINARY IN
FITZGERALD TONIGHT :
Fathers and Sons of Fitzgerald will banquet together tonight
at the Odd Fellows Hall. The purpose of the banquet, held m\ficr
the auspices of the Young Men’s Recreation Center, is to bring Fath
ers an Sons in [itgerald into closer touch and to show the fathers a
rew way of furthering the better development of their sons and all
the youngsters in Fitzgerald.
- The banquet should be a success. From the standpoint of food
and entertainment it will be a success. The ladies of the Commun
ity Council and the Rebekahs have labored long and faithfully to pre
pare a banquet that will surpass anything of its kind ever attempted
Lere. The program, which appears elsewhere in this issue, is un
questionably the best that has ever been arranged for a banquet in
Fitzgerald.
As far as success in the other and more important phase goes._
the arousing of more active sympathy between fathers as a whole
and ¢ons as a whole____that depends on these who attend the ban- |
quet. The Young Men's Recreation Center offers a medium
through which all the fathers can do a great deal for all the sons that
no one father can do for his own sons alone. Its success will be a ‘
good thing for the boys and the young men of Fitzgerald. And any
thing that is good for them is good for Fitzgerald.
RAILROAD EMPLOYES TAKE COMMENDABLE STAND
The attitude of the employes of tre A. B. and A. Railroad, as ex
pressed at a meeting of their joint committees here Monday, is one
that will meet general approval. The employes resolved to do every
thing possible in order tojavert a choice between the two final alter
natives: strike or acceptance of wage reduction. .
The employes believe themselves entirely justified in opposing
a wage reduction. They contend that the low financial condition
of the A. B. and A. Railroad is due to unfair apportionment of
freight charges between the A. B. and A. and other railroads for
which it is the connecting link. They believe that the road can be
put on a paying, basis if it receives its just share of freight charges
at the present freight rates. They hold that the road should ask the
~Anterstate Commerce Commission o give it a fair rate apportionment,
rather than reduce wages.
In order to defend their position, the employes have de
cided to use every other available means before they consider strike.
They will take the fight through the courts. This course will prove
most satisfactory to the railroad operators and the public served by
the road. The strike is a terrible weapon. It causes tremendous
hardship, not only to the strikers, who always suffer most, but to
the general public as well as the railroad operators.
-~ The men want the railroad to prosper. There is nothing but
friendship between the men and the present receiver and the owners
of the road. The men want their neighbors along the road to enjoy
unimpaired service. But they believe their cause is just.
ANOTHER CRISP :
It would be a great compliment to Georgia if Congressman
Charles R. Crisp should be elécted as floor leader of the democratic
‘minority of the House. :
- His distinguished father occupied that position and was sub
- sequently elected Speaker of the House. ; ;
- The younger Crisp is considered the best parliamentarian in the
_ present House. He was assistant to Hon. Champ Clark when the
gatter vas Speaker aud sat by the side of Ollic James when he pre
: pEe Socmocratic (on e " l*Z'f L e

gians to see history repeat itself again on the floor of the House.
One by one the old Democratic leaders of the House have been set
aside. Champ Clark was defeated in Missouri, as was Cord Hull of
Tennesee and Congressman Rainey of Illinois. Claud Kitchens of
North Carolina has suffered impairment of his health and, although
still in the House, is hardly equal to the strain of minority leader
ship. So Mr. Crisp of Georgia seems to be an available man in the
present emergency.
The Democrats are not going to have much showing in the
House. Kepubncans have a overwhelming majority. Democrats
seem to agree with Senator Underwood, who will be the Democratic
leader in the Upper House, that they will co-operate with the Repub
licans in necessary and constructive legislation and will bide their
time to make issue and to reform the party lines, gradually building
up a record.
Party leadership in the House is going to require tact, patience,
and depotion to Democratic principles. Mr. Crisp’s friends are
certain that he posseses all of these qualifications, —Savannah Press,

ON SACRED GROUND '
If you have sinned be honest, take the blame, repent and go
forward through faith to victory.
This spot is sacred, sanctified, :
Set reverently aside,
Apart from common ground . . . .
And when the reasons found, :
It is because there ones abode, or paused,
Or spoke or wrote a Greater Spirit . . . .
There one Great Soul had hallowed it, had caused
It to be marked, matked by his life; the spot
\yas saturated with his soul. “T'will never be forgot!

RESIST THE LURE OF SIN
Text: “If sinners entice thee, consent thownot.” Proverbs 1:10.
No man ever became a sinner through compulsion. |
He sins because he wants to sin.
It is true that he may be and almost always enticed into sin.
~ He is persuaded and lured into sin, however—never forced into
it.
And, alas, having been enticed into sin, he in turn begins to en
tice others, doing devil’s work.
It is the nature of sinners to entice others, either through malice,
or through heedlessness, into sin. .
So Satan lured Eve and Eve enticed Adam and there “you and I
and all of us fell down together.”
Although sinners may entice most skillfully and winningly we
may resist them successfully.
We can refuse our consent to their proposals.
Not, however, in our own strength, can we do this, but through
the “strength which God supplies through His eternal Son.”
In the midst of temptation, flee to Him for refuge and strength ;
also, recall that, with every temptation, there is a way of escape pro
vided. y
“Resist the devil” and all others who entice you into sin “and he
(and they) will flee from you.”

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
WINS DEBATE
A debate, Resolved, That the gov
ernment should own and opefate all
public utilities, was then held. The
affirmative side was upheld by Gran
ville McPhail, and Stancil Turner; and
the negative by, R?lph Russell and
Harry Kendricks. After a great deal
of humorous and heated argument.
which showed much work by the part
of the contestants on each side, the
judges rendered their decision in favor
of the affirmative,
Before the meeting was adjourned,

remedy any errors which might have
been made. This suggestion, was ac
cepted by the students.
