sister. The time will come when !

hound story upon which the charac.

based. My friends, / believe Father
Walser innocent until he is proveE'

murderer upon my sister or the as
sault upon the reputation of Father
Walser, the assault made by public

OIL Production Increases.

Toledo, May 5.-The almost over
whelming desire of the oil men to get
producing wells is shown by the
monthly report of operations for
April. During that month there were
completed the following number of
wells: Pennsylvania fields 664, Ohio
fields 2S7, Indiana fields 236. The.
production was increased by 1,036
barrels in Pennsylvania, by 672 bar
rels in Ohio and by $50 barrels in
Indiana. This is the best compare
tive showing Indiana has ever made
"Will oil continue to go up?" an au-
thority on the oil market was asked

producing property are made. the
price is usually $1,000 per barrel pro-
duction. Thus, well pumping two
barrels would sell for $4,000.

street under the knife of heroic
surgery today, there trembles
upon the border land of Silence
one of the last of the great figures
who moved colossal upon the
tragic stage of the civil war.
Wounds and memories both
grow dim with age, and the sor.
did crust of materialism has COW
cred many sentiment and many
a noble Renaissance.
But there yet remain the saw
ing few in whose hearts the Old
Guard of the Gray morta1s
are shrined in reverence and
affection.
Gordon and Longstreet-both
of Georgia are both walking
thoughtful on the silent, solemn
shore of that vast ocean they
must sail so soon." There were
never two finer soldiers of more
opposite type. Gordon, the cava-
lier, the beau sabreur, with the
dash ank chivalry of the Middle
Ages, and Longstreet, the grim
and tenacious-the bulldog of
war-whose grip never relaxed
and whose guns never ceased to
thunder.
What a magnificent possession
to Georgia are these two heroic
soldiers, picturesque in the ruin
OF age and imperishable in the
youth of immortal memories!
The materialism whose sweep
would obliterate the memories
or abate the reverence of a noble
people for these rare and splen-
did figures should indeed be de-
plored.
And so as the keen STEELE of
modern surgerey cuts today in
to the dimming eve that blazed
like lightning over so many fields
of strife, let the noble woman
who bears his name read to her
heroic soldier the message that
the Georgia of the present-the
not ignoble offspring of the Geor-
gia of the past-compasses the
couch of Longstreet with sym
pathy and uncovers his fading
years with unfading admiration
and uhforgetting tenderness"

The election of judges and So
licitors by the popular vote is a
shame. Of all the methods that
have been tried for their se1ec-
ton it is the very worst.
1t is the outgrowth of dema-
gogy, the great blight of Ameri-
can politics.
Selfish men, moral towards
who aspire to Office, who fully ap-
preciate and understand the bad
features of the plan, acquiesce
and often advocate and defend the
system for no other reason than
that of gaining favor with the
masses who will decide their
cases at the ballot box. We
know this is strong language
but it is grounded in an ugly
truth. One that is a disgrace to
our political system.

We are just in receipt of a
proposition from a we'll known
advertising agency at St. Louis
offering us the munifcent sum
of $500, payable on basis of
former contracts" to pay for a

NATTER" with the request added
please insert accompanying
reading article one time"
Think of it! 312 inches of adj
vertising, not counting the read
ing notice, for $500; counting S9
cents for the reading notice, 1
cent per inch.
We get $500, often more,
from our home advertisers for
that amount of space, and these
cheeky galoots, people we never
saw and to whom we are under
no sort of obligations ask us to
do the work for song. Accord
ing to our past experience with
these same people, it is worth at
least $500 to collect bill for any
amount.
We have definite purpose in
writing this, and we trust it will
be read carefully by the business
manager of each of our ex-
changes. The foreign advertis-
ing done by the weekly papers
of Georgia will not average 2
cents per inch net. Something
ought to be done. It is the veri-
est folly to waste time with peo-
pie who make it their business
to keep down the rates of news
paper advertising.
Every advertising agency is
engaged in that business.
The weekly papers of Georgia
could easily arrange for handling
allforeign advertising through one
central Office at fixed and rea-
sonab1e rate per thousand circu-
lation. Of course the advertisers
would kick, but they would come
around all right in very short
while. The saving in postage
alone would be sufficient to pay
the expenses of a central Office to
handle the business, and the saw
ing in losses from deadbeats and
unprincip1ed agencies would
much more than pay the ex-
penses, to say nothing of the ad-
vantage in rates.
By all means let's agree on
some plan of protection.

In another column will be found
a strong protest against the
stock nuisance from Mr.. L. w.
Meakin. Mr.. Meakin has not
essayed to obtrude his opinions
and advice on the community
during his residence here. He
is modest and unassuming but
he has been thoroughly stirred
up and the writer happened to
be an eye witness to the event
that wrought up his feelings.
His little three-year-old daughter,
Fanesta, was sitting on the
door-steps in front of her moth
er's room when a vicious COW
crossing the street espied her and
evidently intended to attack the
child and but for a timely warn
ing from the Enterprise office
across the street, the little girl
might have soon been ON the
horns of the beast.
What appears to be co-inci-
dent is the case referred to in
Mr.. Meakin's protest in which
the little three-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs A. J. Dixon was
vicious1y attacked and his life al
most crushed out by COW that
tossed him off his velocipede as
he passed along the sidewalk.
The timely interference of a car
penter who CHANGED to witness
the occurrence saved the lit
tie fellows life, but not until
he had been rolled and crushed
by the ferocious beast until his
whole face was b1ood-shot. It
was terrible experience and a
very narrow escape.
Both children are about three
years old, both COWS are fine
milk cows highly priced by their
owners and the two attacks were
made within 10 or IS DAVIS near
the same spot.
The city ordinance does not
prohibit milk cows outside the
fire limits and both cows were
just over the dead line and prob
ably felt offended at the law for
bidding them to Craze the sweet
est grasses just inside the dead
line, although there is no effort
to acquaint them with the law.
