American ships last year con-
veyed only s. s per cent. of our
imports and exports. Our regis
tered tonnage in 1861 stood at
2,4S6, 900. 1t stands now at
$4,000. Two-thirds of our once
great and powerful deep-sea
fleet has vanished-and not one
new keel for deep-sea ship is
being laid on either our Atlantic
or Pacific coastline.
In 1861 though we had already
lost our Atlantic steam lines and
our shipbuilding was falling off,
we still carried 65.2 per cent. of
our own trade and some of the
trade of other nations.'

The county convicts are at last
at work on the road between the
county site and Fitzgerald.
They started this week Cat the
Irwinville end, of course) and
commissioner Dorminey inform
ed us that they will continue
right on to the Ocmu1gee river,
about crisp. The commissioner
stated that the original plan was
to let the convicts work about
four months in the Ocilla road
territory, and then four months
in the western part of the county
and the LAST four months in the
Fitzgerald road district, and the
north west part of the county.
But by reason (not of the Enter
prise) of the fact that we so
much need road to the court
house and that the whole north
east section of the county, a vast
area, has not had any work at all
from the county gang, the
commissioners decided to do a
little work at least before Sep. 1st,
when by the original arrangement
we would be entitled to the men,
thus it appears that we will get
10 days the advantage of the
western end of the county if nc
time is lost during the holidays.
This is magnanimous conces
sion to Fitzgerald and one that
is greatly appreciated.
The road that is now being
graded is via Sandy Sam Walk
er's and WILDE big improvement
over the Henderson z route
that set us two or three miles
further from the court house
than a direct route would meas
ure, all as penalty for trying tt
move the court house.
Fitzgerald militia district now
has less than miles of graded
roads against 20 miles of any
other district that pays half as
much tax, but with the road gang
headed this way, even clever
miles distant, we feel like we
have not been entirely forgotten
Gentlemen of the commission
you haye our eternal gratitude.

The State Board of Education,
composed of the Governor, State
School Commissioner, Comptro1-
Ter General, Attorney General
and Secretary of State, held a
meeting yesterday for the pur-
pose of setting in motion the
machinery of the uniformity text
book act.
The board will advertise for
bids, and will send notice, &C
companied by a copy of the law,
to every book publishing concern
in the country. The bids must
be submitted within thirty days,
with samples of the books offered.
The bids will not be opened at
once, but the samples will first
be submitted to a text book COM
mission to be appointed by the
state board, and each one of the
FIVE members of this commission
will submit an individual report
on the books investigated.
The state board will then open
the bids, and will decide about
Nov. l what books shall be used
for period of FIVE years. They
will base their conclusions both
on the quality of the book and
the price bid. This law applies
only to the rural schools, or the
common schools outside of incor-
porated or chartered school dis
tricts, nor does it affect city
school systems, nevertheless, it
is estimated the change will in
volve an expense of about $780,
600 and the purchase of some
thing like 100000 books.

Last Tuesday we publish ed an
account of the sentence of man
to four years Imprisonment who
had plead guilty to the greatest
double crime known to the human
race-that of incestrous rape
and as the case was reported
from Michigan and brought to
our attention by a Michigan man
we called attention to that fact,
deploring the social conditions
there. Since the publication, in
conversation with another citizen
of the colony, who is from that
state, he stated to the editor of
the Enterprise that he approved
our position in the premises.
That he had heard all his life SC
much about the deplorable con-
ditions in the South that he final.
ly determined to come and see
for himself. He has concluded,
as every we'll informed man has,
that the depraved and vicious
are not peculiar to either section,
but common to both.

At the last session of the gem
eral assembly an act was passed
referring the question of bar
rooms, dispensary or prohibition
for the county to be decided at
the ballot box October 1st, next.
At that election the people will
determine whether we shall al
low the present status to stand
or whether the act will become
effective, by which we may have
prohibition or dispensary in each
or either incorporated town
within the county. In other
words, if the people endorse the
bill at the ballot box Oct. 1st Ir.
win county will be a prohibition
county after the first of January
next, except in incorporated
towns where the municipal gov
eminent establishes dispensary
under the provisions of the act

the fact that it will not receiv,
