TUESDAY, AUGUST II, 1908.

Everybody who is anybody
recognizes the value Of a good
newspaper to every community,
county and section. Most good
citizens are loyal to the home pa
per, and while they are cash
paying subscribers many of them
would love to have an opportunity
to do more to assist the paper.
There is one wav they can do
this, and that is to read the adj
vertisements in the paper and
patronize the merchants who
patronize the paper. Not boy
cot the merchants who seem not
to understand the virtue of print
ser's ink, but merely keep posted
on the advertisements in the pa
per and patronized those stores
that use the columns of home
papers. By that means you not
only assist the publisher who as
a rule is doing all that is possible
for his home people and COM
.munity, but assist yourself by
Gpatronizing the enterprising mer-
chants who understand what
the people want and buy it at the
right price. AS rule the mer-
chant who hasn't got sufficient
enterprise to advertise doesn't
know how to buy goods, or if he
does, and is too stingy to adver-
Use, he is too selfish to give his
Customers a fair deal. If you
IRE a friend of the Enterprise
read the advertisements in it
and patrouize the merchants who
hdvertise in our columns.

REPRESENTATIVE GRAND JURIEs

Editor Mercer is decidedly
pugnacious and is glad of the OPP
portunitY to cross swords with
anyone. He fails to answer the
salient question in the Search
Lights article, however-Is the
grand jury representative
body.-Bainbridge Argus.
Representative, yes, repre-
sentative of the best, the sub
stantial citizens when properly
selected, but not representative
of the riff-raff. A representa-
tive" grand jury of Decatur
county would be about SO per
cent negroes, and a per cent of
the white jurors would neces-
sarily be unworthy and incapable
of a proper conception of the du-
ties of a grand juror.
The best argument, to our
mind, that can be offered in favor
of the present system is that our
grand juries are not representa-
tive of the whole population. 1t
is select, is higher and above the
rabble. When the young man
of the Argus has seen as much
of politics and demogogy as has
the editor of the Enterprise he
will realize that the man who
first uttered U0T pOp1Gli U0r
del was a great liar, or just said
it because it was high sounding.
1t has oftener been the vehicle of
worthless men seeking office
than any other four words in any
language.
Although ours is democratic
government, in which the peo-
pie Fare supposed to rule, (and we
admit the rule is a good one)
still there are exceptions, and in
our humble judgment the grand
jury should always and at all
times be one of them. What we
said last week about electing by
the popular vote" every man
who shall have the right of fran
chise was not meant so much as
sarcasm as it was intended as a
serious suggestion of what the
election by the popular vote"
brought down to it's last analy-
sis means.
The suggestion of the election
of grand jurors struck us as
being a most ridiculous propo-
sition, and if such folly should
come about we would naturally |
expect to see serious PROPOSE
ton to select at the ballot box
elect by popular vote-those who
shall be entitled to vote.

IHE fASSsHULDERS AXE THRIFTY,
The following from the Ameri-
Gus Times-Recorder calls atten-
ton to a disgraceful state of af-
fairs. 1t is a shame that the
Georgia legislature refuses to
adopt law against the use of
free passes by state officials:
Some of the Georgia salons
are making a record as bill COL
lectors as we'll as law makers,
and for a ten cents service
promptly render an expense ac-
count of $40. Mr.. Davis, chair
man Of the penitentiary commit
tee, has called halt in this ne
farious practice so far as his
committee is concerned, and de-
mands an itemized bill of ex-
penses of all members of his
committee who go out on special
com mittee work. Under the law
no expense bill is allowed to ex-
coed $40. The $40 limit had
come to be regarded as the
amount a member was entitled
to for any trip, and it was stated
in the committee that members
who went to the Neurological
school to inspect that institution,
the street car fare to which is 5
cents each way, had turned in
expense accounts of $40. The
discussion in the committee dis
closed the fact that some of the
members who are railroad attor-
neys and have ANNALS, turn in
bills for railroad fare, and mem
bers who travel on free passes
issued to them as legislators feel
that they have a right to collect
railroad fare from the state also.

GREAT RAILROAD ENTERPRISES.

GREAT RAILROAD ENTERPRISES.
The following pipe dream of
Editor Pend1eton, of the Macon
Telegraph, brings to mind sew
eral things that e1ike1y to come
to pass in the first decade of the
goth century:
When our first trans-contin-
entail railroad was built it was re-
garded as a world wonder. Since
then upwards of a half-dozen
have been built and all of them
have been eclipsed, in length at
least, by the trans-Siberian rail-
road, and will be so ec1ipsed by
the Cape-to-Cairo railroad in Afri-
ca, three thousand of the latter's
six thousand miles being already
covered.
"A greater enterprise still is
the long projected PanAAmerican
railroad, which is confidently ex-
pected to become a reality. 1t
is necessary to build only 5000
more miles of track in order for
the traveller to take s1eeperfrom
New York to Cape Horn, a dis
lance of more than 10000 miles.
Already it is possible to send
car from New York to the from
tier of Guatemala, and as Ar
gentine, Chile, Peru and Bolivia
are building railroads, the gaps
are bound to be filled in time.
Other large enterprises in
clude the Bagdad railway, which
is to run from Constantinople to
the Persian Gulf, and the Indian
systems extension across Persia
to connect with the Bagdad line,
on the north, and across Burmah,
down the Malay Peninsula, on
the south. When the projected
lines are completed it will be
possible to leave Charing Cross,
London, spend a few hours on a
channel boat and speed almost
in a straight line overland to
Singapore; to take there a fast
ferry through the Java Sea to
Port Darwin and resume the
journey by rail to Adelaide and
Melbourne. The present two
months journey to Australia by
water can then be made by rail
in about two weeks.
But the most daring scheme
is the Trans-Alaska-Siberan con-
nection, which will complete
railroad facilities between New
York and Paris, nearly the
whole way around the world. It
is proposed to tunnel Boring
Strait, which is said to be a |
perfectly feasible undertaking.
From Cape Prince of Wales, in
Alaska, to East Cape, Siberia, it
is barely thirty-six miles. Mid
way lie the three Diomede islands.
The water is nowhere more than
$50 feet deep. 1t is therefore
argued that Bering Strait could
be as easily tunne1ed as the Hud-
son river. Undoubtedly the
twentieth century will see mar
vels of railroad construction not
now dreamed Of"

There is young white woman
in the state penitentiary and al
though she has been convicted of
the theft of diamonds she is said
to be in many respects above
the average prisoner.
There is a rule of the prison
farm that exempts white women
from the ordinary field labor
where they would be subject to
the close association and probable
lnclvll / ty of the very rough
ignorant negroes. For these rea-
sons the few white women who
find the way to the state prison
are given employment about the
homes or headquarters of the
prison officials. But it seems
that this particular Mamie De-
Girls incurred the disp1easure of
the lady of the house, Mrs. Capt.
Allagood. The Captain" mot only
put her to field work but had her
severely logged. The indignity
to the fair prisoner has aroused
the righteous indignation of
hundreds of people all over the
state. The governor has order

IT is said to be the determine ton
of President Roosevelt and the post
master general that hereafter the
postoffice department is to be run
independent of politics. A Wash
ington dispatch to an eastern paper
says that the future policy will-be
to abandon the policy of notifying
congressman of prospective chang
es in their postoffces. The depart
ment will go right ahead and
arrange it's own affaias to suit the
judgment of the responsible Off
Gals. All necessary information
will promptly be furnished senators
and Representatives, when request.
ed, but an effort will be made to
eliminate the postal service as a
factor in local politics throughout
the country. This proposition is
said to have originated with Post
master General Payne and have re-
ceived the hearty approval of the
President. Doubtless such change
from the method that has been pur-
sued would be found beneficial, if it
be practicable, but it is safe to say
that it would encounter very
strong opposition from congress
men generally, with whom the nam
ing of postmasters is prerogative
that most of them will be very un-
willing to surrender. There is, of
course. no valid reason why the de-
partment cannot select these off,
Gals without the intervention OF
senator's: and representatives, or
that if this were done the selections
would not: be quite as satisfactory
as under the present method, but
the course that is pursued has pre-
vailed so long that the proposed
departure assuming the report to
be we'll founded-will not be readily
accepted by members of congress
generally, however strongly ap
proved by: popular opinion. That
the elimination Of the postal service
as factor in politics is desirable is
so obvious as not to need argument
