That we can afford to give

cause we have a music

month, and have sold
enough pianos to demon

Mr.. John 6. Rogers was over
from Dawson this week and
bought the Samuel Emmons farm
about 3 miles southwest of the
city, paying $4,000. This is
the second purchase Of the kind
by Mr.. Rogers within the month,
and the transactions Indicate good
business tact. The very fine
farming lands of this immediate
section sell now for one fourth the
price of lands no better in the
more thick1y settled sections of
the state. Of course, when good

cleared and the price at a

can be had for less money than
the worn hill sides nearer by,

way in search of farms.

SOMETHING GOOD.

The Enterprise has a large
northern constituency, probably
largest of any country weekly in
Georgia. Many of our home
subscribers haye relatives and
friends in distant states to whom
they write and regularly mail the
Enterprise. To them we make
a special offer. It cost 81 cents
to pay the postage on the Enter
prise one year when mailed by
individuals. Now we will for
50 cents send the Enterprise
one year to any address in
a distant state when subscribed
for by a home subscriber. Of
course we cannot afford to cut
the price of the paper in half to
all foreign subscribers, but on
ly in cases where a home sub
scriber gives us a new name and
pays so cents in advance for
same.
We will say lots of good things

Few people in Fitzgerald, prob
ably none who have not watched
the signs of the times, realize
the wonderful progress of the
city and colony, week by week,
not merely in house building,
which naturally attracts atten-
ton, but in every line. A year
ago when it was shown that real
estate values had doubled with
in the twelve months it was gen
orally agreed that values had
simply advanced from an abnor-
ma1ly depressed state to reas-
enable figure, but not so, the fig
ures were still too low and today
a half dozen squares in the bust
ness center will bring more mon
ey at forced sale than all the
property within the incorporate
limits of the city would have sold
for the day we launched the first
issue of the Enterprise, three
years ago. Within a very few
months we will look back at pres
ent values and laugh at our stu
pidity in considering them reas-
enable.

FREE COINAGE.

Several years ago the writer
was in the West. It was during
Bryan's first campaign when
the country was seemingly crazy
on the free, unlimited and indie
pendent coinage of American sill
YER dollars of the present weight
and fineness. At a hotel in a
southern Utah town we express
ed to a company of live western
rustlers who seemed to have mon
ey and tact, what occurred to us
as unique solution of the Bryan
theory of silver coinage. While
technically in conflict with the
laws of the land at the same time
in effect precisely the same so
far as the public is concerned,
what the proposed Bryan coinage
law meant, that was the man.
ufacture at some convenient
place, probably the waters of low
er California in western Mexico,
of genuine American silver
dollars of the same weight and
fineness as those turned out by
the several minis of the country,
and with duplicate dies. The
vast stock of western silver bull
lion and indeed of Mexican silver
offered a practically limitless
supply of raw material. At
the price then of silver, a pro-
fit of 1000 would be possible,
and under the Bryan theory the
country would be infinitely bet
ter-indeed save the govern
ment the expense of minting the
money. Of course the fact that
such an enterprise would be
unlawful precluded the POSSIBLE
ity of the writer's giving it seri-
Gus consideration, but we've no
doubt thatless scrupulous parties
in various parts of the country
have put the suggestion (not our
suggestion) into practice, as is
indicated by the following:
Manila, Oct. 12.-Counterfeit
American silver dollars are be-
ing made in China and circu1at-
ed here extensively. The sus-
picion is held that some of this
money was shipped from San
Francisco. The dollars are of
silver and of standard weight.
They have been detected through
the improper stamping of the
word liberty" on the goddess.
The low price of silver insured
to the makers of this counterfeit
money a profit of 100 per cent.
American silver circulates as
gold in the Philippines.

In your issue of last night there was

ported to be the truth in the matter re-
garding the disagreement had with Mr..

the purchase of soda fountain and
which presented me in most unfavor-

AS there are always two sides to a
story and the press is supposed to be
eminently fair about all things, beg to
give my version Of the story regarding
same, hoping that you, who are reputed
to be fair. minded about matters and
things, will give equal publicity to my
side of the story, as you did to that OF
Mr Graham.
In the first place l have abundant
proof that the noise and uproar which
you speak about as occurring in the
store OF Mr.. Graham was made mostly
by himself. | used no language of
which 1 am ashamed and | desire to
state further that the contract made
with Mr.. Graham WAS valid one and
that he took desperate and underhapded
means in attempting to countermand
same.
In relation to the matter of upbraid-
ing him or using violent language in his
store his statement ia untrue. Ii loud
and angry words were spoken they were
uttered by Graham. The play he made
with the poker had no part in the talk
which we we're having: it was purely a
business matter and Mr.. Graham took
the poker as a means of letting himself
out of bad job. He did this because
the agent OF soda fountain trust was
here to sell him fountain.
l did not upbraid him in the least and
there was no necessity for him to obtain
a poker to eject me from his store He
did as any man OF his nature will do
when caught at game wherein he
knows he has acted unlike any fair busi-
ness man would do-got mad and at.

all the merchants who use candy, and
they, knowing the facts in the matter,
will support every word have said, and
they are indignant that Graham should
have so attempted to color the matter
and throw odium upon myself.
The law will doubtless decide who is
right in the matter, and in the mean
time Mr.. Graham may have any comfort
he can get out OF the article which he
doubtless inspired in your paper
II any one has any doubt OF the truth
OF my side of the story, l can refer him
to any merchant with whom I have
traded for years and they will substan-
tiate my words. II the house in which
l resided had as much glass as that in
which Mr.. Graham finds home, l would
