business and reeidence sections, is situated on the highest point
in the county of Irwin at the crossing of the Atlantic and Birming
ham and the Ocilla and Valdosta railroads, 16 miles north of Tif
ton and 25 miles east of Ashburn. This point was chosen by Ex-
Governor Northern and Mr. P. H. Fitzgerald as the most. desir
able site upon which to locate the great Fitzgerald colony, but
the owner refused to enter into nogotiations for its sale. and
these gentlemon were forced to find another location.

square, will support a town of 5.000 inhabitants or more. It is
located upon two great railway lines and-enjoys excelleat—freight

natural drains which cross the property diagonally and will afford
perfect drainage to the entire town. The neighboring country is
dotted with the finest farms in South Georgia whose owners are,

culturists. The climate is mild and equable and no section of the
south is more delightful and healthy. No fever—no malaria.

To the White Voters of lrwin

On Saturday February 17th,
our Democratic executive com
mittee met at Fitzgerald, Ga.,
and ordered our primary elec
tion to be held on April 26th,
next at which time in addition to
County officers and State House
officials—we we are to nominate
a representative and senator to
serve us for two years in 'the
General assembly of Georgia,
for by our rotation system—it
is now Irwin’s time to name a
‘senator from the 15th, senatorial
district of our state. Up to this
writing, I understand we have
two canidates for both the House
‘and Senate and ‘‘Madam rumor”
_has'whispered it along thetmes
that possibly before the battles
are fought—there may be other
aspirants to these high places of

trust and honor. For several
years to my certain knowledge—
the state of Georgia has been
largely dominated in her state
po'itics by certain corporate in
terest through their hired rep
resentatives whom they send or
keep at the state capitol during
the sessions of our General As

ble, that the majority of our
legislators can be bought by the
mercenaries who compose what
is called by some the 3rd, house?
No, I do not make any such
wicked statement, but some
times it looks very much like
some buying and selling is going
ou—from the queer things that
men sometimes do. I do not
think thatthereis much straight
out trafficing in legislative votes,

the less, I do not think there
ever was a time in our history,
when we have had so many hon
est legislators steered wrong,
and that is why I write this ar
ticle. There are weighty and
far-reaching measures to be
passed upon by the law makers
whom we select this year; meas
ures that are of the highest im
portance to the moral and mat
erial developement of our people.
Unless action be taken during
the next session of our General
assembly—some or all of the
following measures must be pas
sed upon by the law makers in
question, namely.
The ‘‘Australian ballot sys
tem’ which will tend to purify
the ballot—the Fountain-head of
the best system of government
koow to men. :
The “'Anti-jug law” which will
prevent the liquor or wet coun-
}ties from ‘‘slopping’’ over on to
‘the dry counties. :
} The ‘“‘limiting or curtailing of
franchise” by which the largest
‘part of our immoral purchasable
yote will be illiminated for all
time, and then state prohibition
will be assured.
~ The *‘elec}ion of Railroad com
missioners” by popular ballot—
‘which gets us further away from
the one-man power, and will be a
%long step towards equity and
justice equality between the
;Railroads and the shippers.
- The “‘Child Labor bill’’ which
will liberate hundreds of white
children slaves and better their
conditions mentally, morally and
physically.
A “bill to close all the liquor
shops.in Gecrgia,” which if pas
sed—would “with one stroke of
the pen’” bring greater benefity
to the people of Georgia for all
time and eternity, than any law

and other good measures will
have to be passed upon by the
iGeneral assembly of 1907 land
1908. Therefore, I do not think
\it unreasonable, or unjust to ask
each and every candidate inques
tion—to state in plain language
what in the main he stands for—
and also what he opposes. Our
law makers on all great issues‘
should be willing to express
‘themselves—-so that we may
know what to expect from them,
especially, when such far-reach
ing issues are to be passed upon,
we should know before nominat
ing—whether our representatives
and senators will line up with
the corporations, trusts, and
liquor dealers association, to the
detriment of the masses. or will
they oppose the selfi:hness of
the corporations trusts, and
m
whiskeys gang—occupying such
high moral ground—that wilk
enable them to always work and
vote unbiased for all measures
that tend to the up-lift of the
‘masses—and yet not discrimin=
ate against the classes, and vot'{
against all measures that tend'
to make the burdens of the very
poor harder to bear. Yours to
