On the men (and women) of Fitzgerald depend its character and reputation, its future as a home for our families and our children. What are we going to do about it? Surrender to the liguor interests-—-the vicious; the men who would run her wide open and to hell? or are we going to do our duty like men, and give the women and children the protection that a civilized community owes them? ' “WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO BRING THIS DEPOSIT TO THE EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANK.” we asked a new depositor recently. He answered, ‘‘Because I hear so much of your unusual strength, fair-mindedness and common sense dealings. 1 saw also a long list of large depositors, who bank with you, and I thought if they preferred THE EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANK, I might wisely do the same.” We frequently ask new depositors such guestions as the above, and from their frank and open answers we learn positively of the high and increasing favor in which this Bankis held by the public. This makes us more and more determined upon being a bank of EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH RATING. We invite new accounts. . INTEREST PAID ON SAVINGS DEPOSITS. . THE EXCHANGE NATIONAL BANK.

Atlanta, April 11.—When spot cotton went to 11 12 cent per pound yesterday in the Atlanta market, it reached the high water market up to date for this season. Bad weather, floods, continual bull support, and the heavy de mand for the remnant of the 1911 crop, are believed by experts to be the direct causes for the rise. Knights of Pythias. There will be work in the first and second rank to night. BEe on hand to take part in this work. A full attendance of all members is earn estly requested. All Knights in the city not members of the local lodge are invited to be present also. J. E. Turnner, C. C. R. L. King, K. of R. and S. Friends Rally To “Jim” Henderson Ocilla, Ga., April 9.—The friends of Hon. J. A. J. Henderson in the Elev enth district continue to urge him to enter the race for congress, and they confidently look for his formal an nouncement by the end of this week. Many of the letters received by Mr. Henderson express the sentiment that the district should be represen ted by an able, successful business man. It is argued that measures will come before congress affecting all lines of business, and that it is important that some of the repre sentatives should be business men, indeed that they may be in position to understand how the various lines of business will be affected. All agree that Mr. Henderson is a business man of ripe experience and great ability. Beginning life a poor boy, he has acquired and built up one of the finest farms in Georgia, on which he makes more than a thousand bales of cotton per year. He is president of and largely inter ested in the Henderson Lumber Co., of Ocilla, which is one of the largest saw mill plants at present in the state. He is the promoter, builder and lardest stockholder in the Ocilla Southern railroad, extending through the counties of Berrien, Irwin, Ben Hill, and now being built into Wil cox county. But while Mr. Hender son has always displayed great (-n-] ergy and Sagacity in the manage ment of his own business affairs, he has been 2 man who lived himself l alone, but always took the broader view that whatever advanced the best interest of the section in whi(ihl‘ e lived was the surest way to ad lvance his own interests. He has ‘always been a leader in working for ‘every measure which he thought lwould work for the betterment of the people of his county and state. One of his supporters from an ad joining county, while discussing the race the other day, was heard to 'make these remarks as showing how the people feel: : “Mr. Henderson is a man of un: tiring energy, and while always en gaged in a number of business en }terprises. has never yet failed to ‘heed the call of the people when they needed him personally, or in affairs of government. Being a plain man, the people seem to love him as one of their rank, and they adore; his unusual ability. If the people ‘elect him to congress, as 1 am con fident they will if he makes the race, he having been successful in his business affairs, will have no motive except to represent the whole peo ple.” And this gentleman remarked |further: “Jim Henderson can beat any man doing things that I have eversecn’ Don't forget to attend the Motio tonight. rd. \ NATIONAL) BANK Senator Hoke Smith Back in Washington Washington, D. C., April B.—Sen ator Hoke Smith returned to Wash ington today from Atlanta, where he spent a couple of days last week on personal business. The senator is prepared to engage in active op position to the employers’ liability and workmen’s compensation bill, which wilP be taken up in the sen ate this afternoon. He is opposed to making the pro visions of the bill an exclusive rem edy for the adjustment of claims for injuries and fatalities. While the bill has been favorably report ed by the senate Judiciary commit tee, Senator Smith and a number of other senators are by no means ready to accept its provisions which are objectionable to railroad em ployees all over the country.
