The Bryanite who insists that
the Cleve1andites are not entitled
to be heard in the councils of the
party are just as much mistaken
as they were a few years ago
when they insisted thatall prices

the reconciliation of silver.
They we're probably excusable
for the first mistake, but its the
fellow who persists in being a

There are men in congress
whoa spire TO be considered wise,
who secured the necessary votes
by telling the voters that cotton
could never be worth more than
5 cts. a pound unless silver was
re-monetized; that with the gold
standard the staple would surely
decline to 8 cts. a pound. In the
light of what has developed since
that time isn't it natural to con-
clude that they were otherwise
than wise?

The crop prospect in Georgia
was never quite so discouraging
as at present. This is particu-
larly true of the middle and
northern sections of the state.
The cotton is not only small but
the weeds and grass have taken
many fields. There is yet am
pie time for an average crop of
cotton where the cultivation is
good, but the present condition
OF the fields indicate a lack of
labor and some of the acreage
planted must be or has already
6een abandoned.

Mr.. Bryan may have more
sense than Cleveland, although

of the party was twice staked

DIR. TIBBOTT ON THE CITY GOVERN
MENT.

MENT.
In my last com munication l in
timated my intention of discuss
ing other irregularities than the
assessment of taxes.
First, l would consider the
street improvement question. It
has been the rule in all cities and
towns Of which I have any know1-
edge in the past forty to fifty
years, that all streets should be
opened and made passable as the
public demand for such work be-
came evident, at the expense of
the general public, as is now be-
ing done on some Of the streets
of our city, but in the construc-
ton of sidewalks, sewers, the
matchmaking, bricking or as
pbaltlng of streets, the proper
ties abutting such improvements
have been and still are assessed
the cost of such improvements,
the owners of such properties
being the benefciaries, in the
enhancement of the values there
of. This is regarded as the only
just method in regard to such
taxation, and it has been tested
in the courts, and I think that all
the sidewalks of this city are
built by or at the expense of the
owners of property abutting on
them. The other improvements
mentioned should be at the ex-
pense of the owners also. What
does it profit me, away out on
Longstreet Avenue, to have a
sewer on Pine or Grant Street.
But the sewer does profit the
new bank, the Phillips Block and
all other property similarly stu
ated Oh Pine Street. The own
ers of all such properties can
and doubtless will avail them
selves of the opportunity of
draining basement rooms that
they can now probably build,
into the Pine Street sewer.
The water and light question
also has it's inequitable features.
In voting for the issuing of bonds
to establish these institutions we
committed ourselves to the pay
ment OF interest and sinking fund
for the redemption of these
bonds, whether we individually
voted for them or not, as we are
living under the principles of
majority rule. But when these
institutions are established the
benefciaries should pay for their
maintenance. The general pub
lie have done their part, and if
these institutions were the prop
erty OF a corporation there would
be no question as to who should
pay, and pay a profit, too, to the
corporation, equal to both inter
est and sinking fund, in our case
charged to the public. Accord
ing to recent report these iu-
stltutions were not self-support-
ing and the deficiency had to be
supplied from the public tax.
This is fragrant injustice to
the people living beyond the limit
OF water and light. The institu-
lions in the hands of a corpora
ton would be SO managed as TO
pay dividends over and above the
running expenses. There must
certainly be some mismanagc-
ment. A municipality should do
as we'll as corporation and the
people bearing these burdens
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1903-06-30

should never rest till they-the
institutions are placed upon a
paying basis.
We have board of aldermen
entrusted with the management
OF these things. Are theynot as
effective as the agent of a COR
poration would have to be, or be
bounced at the end of the first
month? These gentlemen are re-
sponsible for any deficiency that
may occur. If the price of SER
vice for water and light is too
low raise it, or better, extend
the service by extending wires
and mains. If they were the
owners of these plants they
would find some way to make
both ends meet. "A public office
is public trust whether the in
cumbent gets big salary or 9TH
erwise, and he takes an oath to
faithfully perform all duties that
pertain to the office, but I am in
formed that these, our servants,
for they are such having agreed
to serve us at a stipulated salary,
instead of seeking a way to light
en- the burdens of the general
public, have added thereto by
voting to themselves and the
mayor free water and light. The
agent of a corporation that would
take such liberties, especially in
the face of deficiency, would
find the other end of his service
very suddenly. Is municipal
ownership a failure? If not it
must be chargeab1e TO indiffer-
ence or mismanagement.
These gentlemen accepted the
responsibilities of office knowing
what the remuneration would be
and that public office is a trust
not a sinecure.
TO further demonstrate the in
equality in the water and light
matter it is on1v necessary to
state the facts of the situation
which are these: Those living
outside the limits of these bene-
fits have to buy coal oil while
they are also paying a part of the
price OF furnishing electric light
to those who enjoy it. This is
equality with a vengeance. And
as to the water they pay the same
kind of help money, while if
their houses take fire they must
burn for not a drop Of the water
they are unJustly paying for can.
be used to their benefit. No,
gentlemen, these institutions can
and must be made self sustain
ing, and ifthcse gentlemen mus
ter up the same business tact
backed by the same energy that
they bring into their own bust
ness affairs there will be no fur
Their trouble on this core, and if
not, why not? The official GA h
they have taken demands this of
them. These gentlemen, SO far
as l know, are my friends, at
least l have not the least i'll will
against any of them and because
| esteem as such l make free to
point out their short comincs
that they may amend. We all
know they have the businessaa-
blllty for they are shrcwd bust
ness men, wherefore we placed
in their hands these important
trusts, and look to them to rem
edy these wrongs. There is
much more to be said on the sub
ject of city management and
may be said later. Eternal vigil
lance is the price of good govern
ment as well as the price of lib

AN ARGUMENT AGAINST DISPENS.
ARIES

EDITOR ENTERpRIsE.--As a
Georgian, all parts of Georgia
are of interest to me; hence this
article.
/ see you are about to vote on
dispensaries, and have sent for
the Terrell County Act. Don't
be misled. Bar-rooms is the
enemy in the open field without
artillery. Dispensaries is the
same enemy behind we'll con-
structed entertainments, pro-
tected by the best machine guns.
Every man who honors himself,
fears his God and loves his home,
feels some sense of shame when
entering a bar-room. The same
man will go into the dispensary
with head up, for isn't it a state
institution operated by the
church members as we'll as sin
ners of the county? The bar
keeper knows that when he vio-
1ates the law and sells to minor
he may have to pay. The mana
ger of the dispensary knows that
the more money he turns into
the county treasury the better
the tax payers will be pleased,
and as he is immune from prose-
cution pushes his sales.
A gentlemen from Terrell
county, less than a month since,
told the writer that Terrell coun-
ty paid not one cent Of rent, but
that the men owning the
stores surrounding the dispen-
sary paid rent in order to have it
located in their midst to increase
their trade. Another man, a
restaurant keeper, told me he
had fitted up a room, counter,
chairs, bar glasses ETC., in the
rear of his place, provided a me-
gro to wait on his guests, which
he kept open until II midnight,
and that the sale of the beer bot
ties and whiskey TASKS to the
dispensarY more than paid him
for his outlay, to say nothing of
his increased trade; and that I'M
less a man allowed his customers
to use his house-whether he
sold dry goods, hardware or
anything else-to drink in he
would be driven out of business
in Terrell county. So that
every store is practically a bar
room and the provision that you
shall not drink in the dispensary
is nullity so far as preventing
social drinking. l hope you,
whom l know to be man with
convictions, will go to Terrell
county, or send some one not
known there would do better, and
see for yourself the practical
working of this law, not it's theo-
rv, not its letter, but the real
thing, and I am confident you
will throw the whole weight of
yours and the Enterprises in
fluence against handicapping Ir-
win county with the dispensary
system.
Truly yours,
