ematil
, “Sans-Souci” is the name for the
| "eW swimming pool and pleasure
| park built by E. L. Dorminy on East
'Central Avenue near “the Fitzgerald
{ Ice Company. The name was select
'ed from several hundred submitted
by Fitzgerald people who sought the
'liberal prizes offered by Mr. Dor
miny for a suitable name, The name
]was suggested by both Mrs T. J.
Livingston anl Dr. Frank Ward.
“Crystal Pool” by C. A. Bond was
second, “The Crystat Pool” by Jack
Garrett was third, “Centravue Park”
| by Mrs. R. M. Ware was fourth. The
judges were D. A. Bragg, E. L. Dor
'miny, and J .E. Turner.
} “Sans-souci”, French for the
‘phrase “without care,” is considered
singularly appropriate for the new
pleasure resort. The name is lent
added distinction by the fact that
Frederick the Great called his magni
ficent palace near Potsdam “San
souci.” This palace, 1745-1747, dur
ing the lifetime of the monarch was
noted for the beauty and luxuriance
of its gardens on which he lavished
€normous sums.
" The original Sans-souci is now a
sort of national museum, similar to
the Versailles of the French, visited
annually by tourists interested in its.
relics and associations.
The date for the opening of the
new pleasure park wi!ll be announced
soon. It is to be elaborately appoint
ed and equipped and will be a seasonal
drawing card for motorists pleasure
bent from all Central South Georgia.
WOMAN CAN MAKE MAN
DO WHATEVER SHE WISHES
Constance Talmadge proves that a
woman can get anything she wants if
she only knows how to go about it,
as you will see in “Two Weeks,” a
picture taken from “At The Barn,”
Anthony Wharton’s play, which will
be shown at the Grand Theatre,
on Monday.
Miss Talmadge, as Lillums, 3 show
girl, flees from an escort who has
been rude and winds up at the home
of three crusty bachelors. The grave
old butler is horrified at her appear
ance and tells her no woman are
allowed on the premises. Nothing
daunted, she shows him a slight thorn
bruise and pretends to be suffering.
The butler falls at once and in his
sympathy takes her to the bath room,
to bathe and bind up the wound.
Then Lillums is caught by the
owners, who are shocked at the very
thought of her iusrusion. But a
flirty smile and the toss of her pretty
head wins two of them to her cause
and she settles wown for a visit. And
the third bachelor? Well she vamps
him plenty before her two weeks stay
is finished.

Georgians Await Plums
From Hand Of Harding
ATLANTA, March, 19.—The faith
ful in Atlanta and other sections of
the State are gathering beneath the
Federal plum tree to wait for the lu
cious fruit that is about to fall.
The trees in the Administration’s or
chard are heavy with ripening post
masterships, district attorneyships, rev
enue collectorships and other desirable
offices in Georgia. .
“Patronage has always been the bit
ter that went with the sweet of the
Presidental office” said an Atlanta
politician today. “No president since
Andrew Jackson has been exempt
from its torments. Some have pro
tested against its exactions on their
time, their patience, their good nature
and their peace of mind. Others have
suffered in silence.”
A meonth or so after he was elected
President Harding delicately sugges
ted something of what he was already
enduring from the pursuit of placs
seekers and their friends. He is now,
it is known here, having the Georgia
situation slipped to him with all the
finesse with which the Georgia slate
makers is capable. :
Diligent inquiry on the part of this
correspondent has failed to elicit any
“inside dope” on possible apointments
at the custom house, or post office
building, where a number of fat places
apparently await early attention.
Present incumbents had no informa
tion to give out. “I don’t know a sin
gle man mentioned for my position”
said one. ]
The many friends of Mrs. Alex
Harvey will be glad to know she is
doing nicely after undergoing an op
eration recently at a local hospital.
