City hall tonight, Military bands popular concert promenade; good dance music-'tnuff sed."
 Charles Thorpe, one of the four young men connected with the Faber's switch assault case and who were sur rendered by their ibondsmen few days ago, secured bail this morning. Dennis Allen, farmer in Midd1ebury, and father-in-law of Edward Winne- gar, furnished the requisite bail, $2,- GOO, for him this morning with Clerk Marsh of the superior court.
 The residents of Green street and that part of Riverside from Summit to Bank street, would like to have a lit tie more police protection than they have been getting. They say it is a novelty to see a policeman patrolling those streets. There is a large popu- lation in the neighborhood and they make the night hideous with yelling and singing, besides fights are common occurrences among them, especially after the, saloons close. One resident says they make a practice of stopping in front of his gate at that hour and keeping the neighborhood awake, and wants to know what he pays taxes for.

ed by the people of the town and
county. It has very liberal
commercial patronage, and while
it may not have cleared as much
money in the past year as it's
competitor has lost, it has at1east
paid larger per cent. of dividend
than any other business invest
ment in Moultrie that we know
of.
1t is glad that it is sought by
people who read it and pay for it,
and does not have to depend up
on watered or free circulation.
1t appreciates the support it
receives from business men, and
especially feels proud of list indie

When man NEEDLES with the
family affairs of his neighbors he
is lucky if he escapes with a
whole hide, and the Enterprise is
to be congratulated that what we
have said with reference to the
newspaper situation at Moultrie
has been understood and so fair
ly treated by our contemporaries
there. However we attribute our
good fortune, not so much to our
tact as to the good nature of
neighbors Smithwick and Allen.
We quote below the comments
of each of these very excellent
Moultrie conte mpories on our
last reference to the subject:
The News
We are indebted to the editor
of the Fitzgerald Enterprise for
two column write up in the last
issue of his paper. 1t was he who
said that there was no room for
another paper in Moultrie when
The News was launched. But
we believe that if he knew the
large volume of business that we
are doing, he would agree that the
News is already larger than any
other Georgia weekly. Where
there is no room we make room.
We do not know Mercer personal
ly. but we do know that he gets
up one of the brightest and best
papers that reaches this office.
The News thinks none the less OF
him because he intimated that it
was rushing blindly into occupied
territory. We are glad that we
have been able to convince him
that he was mistaken and appre-
ciate his statement that The
News is one of the best weeklies
in the state.

The editor of the Enterprise
has been favored with the hig h.
est honor in the gift of the people
Of this community, that of the
President of the Chamber Of
Commerce. We appreciate it AZ
coming from the business men,
not from a faction or class Of the
business men, but from all class
es of business men, We appre-
ciate it because it came spontaue-
ously, not at the suggestion Of a
personal friend or as a reward
for any particular act, but as a
circumstance growing out Of the
conditions. That we appreciate
the honor we propose to demon
strate by hard work through the
Chamber of Commerce. for Fitz-
gerald and this God-favored sec

Prohibition has succeeded
at the right place, that is in the
Capitol building at Washington.
For long time that building
has been used not only for the
sessions of the Supreme Court,
the Senate and the House Of Rep

On March the 5rd a bill was a.
greed on that prohibits the sale
of intoxicants in the Capitol

The railrord schedule between
Fitzgerald and the county site is
perhaps the most remarkable in
the railroad world, although it is
eleven long miles between the
two places it is quite possible to
make the trip from Fitzgerald to
Irwinville in a shorter time than
it would be required to go to
Jacksonville, and return, to make
the trip TO Chattanooga or to
Montgomery, or the round
trip to either Brunswick, Savan-
nah, or Atlanta and return. The
schedule is a daisy.

From surface indications, it
would appear that Editor Mercer
of the Fitzgerald Enterprise, has
slightly altered his opinion in re-
gard to the law controlling legal
advertising. The Gazette cor
daily welcomes him as a convert
to its theory Triton Gazette.
If Editor Herring will indicate
wherein there is an indication of
the slightest alteration of our
we'll formed opinion on the ques-
ton of the control of legal adver-
Using, we will vote him the hand
soonest editor in the wiregrass
region. Brother Herring no
doubt has reference to some ex.
preston contained in these col
umns about three years ago when
Sheriff Fletcher made the Enter
prise his official organ. We in.
sisted thenthat 1.-THE law giving the
sheriff the right to select his of
fetal organ based on THE largest
or general circulation" was the
best law that could be enacted to
cover the question, and we are
more firmly convinced that we
were right in that contention.
than ever before. If our mem
DRY serves us. right, we were
right positive in our opinions
before, but let's sec what the con.
dition is now.
About two years ago popu-
list paper printed in a populist
county, but not at the coun-
ty site, was made the official
organ by populist sheriff.
There was a democratic paper
published at the county Site and
a democratic legislature fool-
ishly passed a lava bad law,
amending the very good law re-
ferred to, requiring the sheriff
to place his advertisement ''in
paper published at the county
site, If there be one" Regard
less of race or color, or previous
conditions etc, and as the law
now stands the best paper in
Georgia with subscriberin every
household in the county in which
it is published is outlawed, if it is
not published at the county site,
and a paper with a dozen sub
scrlbers published by a negro or
a populist, flunky or fool, so
it is published at the county site
becomes the organ of the sheriff,
not by his choosing but by oper-
alton of this Ubiquitous law.
AS to the Enterprise we want
to say for The edification of our
Triton neighbor that the present
good sheriff of Irwin county was
lected as a friend Of the Enter
prise. 1t was generally under
stood that the Enterprise would
be his official organ, we might
say he was elected on that issue, !.
and strongly opposed at least by
one paper of the county on that
issue and no well informed man !.
seriously doubts that the Enter
prise would today be the official
organ of the county but for this
new law.

Brother Mercer. of the Fitz-
gerald Enterprise in late issue
of his excellent paper states that
he had turned down a lot Of for
eign advertising matter because
the price offered was below the
space producing cost, and that
he had been assured by the part
les that the same work was being
done by papers throughout the
state with equal circulation for a
less price than was offered him.
He then asks that some exchange
suggest a plan that will be fair
and just to all. He has not atten-
ded the meetings of the Weekly
Press Association else he would
have at least heard of the only
remedy that, to mind of the editor
of the Local, is at all practicable,
and that is that the weekly papers
of the State form. or organize an
advertising agency stock com.
pany, with Offices centrally locat-
ed in the state to whom all prop
ositions for foreign advertising
would be referred. Say that
hundred papers went into the in
corporation and that their comb
ined Giro ulation reached 100000
copies per issue, the agency
would have no trouble in getting 5
cents an inch for each 1000 circu-
lation for the publisher and
handsome profit besides to be re-
tanned for the expense ofconduct.

publishers in other states are
combining for their own protect
ion and preservation, why not we
here in Georgia.-Worth Local.
Editor Allen is on the right
line.
1t was impossible for us to
attend the last Press Conventions;
but we shall not let another
one pass. 1t is a duty every
editor owes to himself and his
neighbours.
The only suggestion we
ever made in a Press con-
vention of a business nature
was to regulate this very matter
of foreign advertising, and at it's
next convention the Weekly Press
of Georgia will no doubt protect
itself against the cut-throat adj
vertising agencies whose busi-
ness it is to get as much from
the advertiser as possible and !
pay the least amount possible to
the newspapers,

The Observer:
THE LEGAL ADVERTISING.


THE LEGAL ADVERTISING.
The Fitzgerald Enterprise is
paper that has been faithful in
service to it's town and locality
and is one Of the best weekly
papers in the state. The Enter
prise, like The Observer, has had
the legal advertising of the county
taken from it for other reasons
than the merit Of the paper to
which the advertising has gone.
1t is therefore able to appreciate
the situation in this county. and
addressed itself to the two Moul-
trie papers and the county
patronage in its last issue.
Y
Merit doesn't always win, Faith
full service is not always properly
rewarded IN this world. The
Observer knows it has not been
fairly treated by the officers Of
the town and county. Those
officers know they have not done
the fair thing in dealing with the
paper; we know it because we
have seen it written on their
countenances when we have met
them. Nevertheless, the Obscrv-
er is not embittered or soured,
it is satisfied with what it has.
1t is not an organ and doesn't
care to be. but it is a NEWSPAPERS
