)ry Goods.

New York, September 19.-Values in dry goods remain unaltered for the most part, but buyers are showing no more inclination to operate except for imne- diate delivery and when such orders are placed, they are of a retail character. The jobber locally reports considerable dminution in his business and while store trade is still more or less active. it is still a considerable distance from the apex which was reached a few weeks ago.

The frauds that have come to light in
the Indian Territory involve not only the
Indians but settlers. over $1,000 Indians
In the Indian Territory are entitled to
land, and only about 20 per cent. of these
Indians have thus far received what is
due them, When Indians come and get
title to land, depending in area upon the
size of their families, they are forbidden
to sell, but can lease. 1t sometimes hap
pens that before the Indian leaves the
land office he has sold his lease at
trife through collusion of the speculat1r
with the government agent. Thus the
Indian Is victimized. Close to half a mil
lion whites have rushed into Indian Ter
ritory, all seeking to get a chance to
lease the Indian lands at a bargain.
Thus it happens that the tribes are i'm
poverished by graft. 1t is said that
FUNDS amounting to about ten million
dollars, and twenty million acres OF val
liable land, are thus being sacrificed to
the present corrupt system of leasing.
The income from these leases should be

Spirits of turpentine are again
bringing fancy prices. The
price has bounded upward recent
ly to the qualification of the oper-
ators.
There seems really to have
been no excuse for the low price
for the last few months.
The price of turpentine is as
improving to this section as is
the price of cotton.
The recent violent fuctuation
in cotton in which contracts for
future months lost considerably
was purely the result of specula-
ton. The condition still favor
the high price. The stock is
practically exhausted. The mills
have no other excuse to shut
down and the crop prospects
point to another short crop.
Indeed it is not likely that the
present crop will reach ten
million bales. This is good cotton
weather.
1t is said that cotton spinners
desired cheap cotton. We fail to
see the advantage to them ex-
cept for-sooth a temporary one
that effects contracts already in
hand. High priced cotton sim
ply proceeds high priced pro-
ducts of the cotton mills. The
real hardship growing out of the
high price for staple are borne
by consumers of cotton goods.

The Chamber Of Com
merce will give $500 for the
best short article on Fitz-
gerald and the colony. Limit
500 words. Time up Mon
day noon.

We lost a subscriber yes
'terday, a good one, one who had
been paying regularity in adj
vance for his paper. Now our
rule is when we lose subscriber
is to get two more in his place
but it will be difficult to get two
who are as prompt about paying.
Subscribers as a rule quit
paperfor good reasons, sometimes
because the paper is not worth
the price. In this instance we
scrafce the valued subscription
in. the performance of a duty
for which we received no con-
pensation in connection with the
removal and quarantine of the
small pox patient. AS
chairmen of committee having
the matter in charge, we had
been appealed to to remove the
patient from the house selected
by the special police. At sacri-
ficeof valuable time we went out
to see what was best to be done
and after consulting the nearest
neighbors and reaching a salts
factory agreement to the effect
that it would be inexpedient and
unwlse to attempt to remove the
patient, and returned to the city
thinking all was satisfactory. In
this we were mistaken.
One of our best subscribers
came clear to town toexpress his
dissatisfaction by taking his
name off the Enterprise sub
scription list.
Now, we secured three new
subscribers yesterday, Robert
Barnett, Morrisvi11e, Ca. Mrs.
J. M. Cox, Douglas, Ga, and R.
E. Davenport, Fitzgerald, and
lost only one Mr.. ]. w. Burnham,
But still we feel the loss of a
good, cash paying subsc riber.
This is long explanation of
what will be considered by some
as small matter. All to illus
trate how in the concientious
performance of duty it is easy to
be misunderstood and misiudged.

Frail in body and a semi-inva.
lid all his life, Pope Leo XIII.
has supported the heavy 1abors
and anxieties of the Vatican for
twenty-five years and lived to be
more than ninety three years of
age. What is the explanation of
this paradox of strenth in weak
ness? A writer in the Scotsman
says it is contained in two words
regularity, diet.
Six years ago, in Latin poem
the Pope gave his own formula
for longevity. The substance
of it was regular and a bstemious
living. He recommended the
sparing use of meat, and a re1i-
ance mainly upon a moderate al
lowance of eggs, milk honey,
fresh vegetables and ripe fruits.
For a beverage he commended
pure, light wine, much diluted
with water, and a little coffee.
His precept is better understood
by reference to his practice. He
ate so little that the average man
would call it fasting. His rule
was to eat only what he needed,
not what he desired. He ruled
his appetite and overruled his
palate.
