CAPT. HENDERSON NOT IN THE RACE,

Yesterday a Dispatch man in
tervlewed Capt. M. Henderson
as to his candidacy for ordinary,
and was informed that, after
giving the subject mature de-
liberation, he has decided that
his surroundings Just now will
not permit him to make the race.
The main cause of this decision
is his wife's condition, which
claims his presence and close at
tentlon. He asks us to thank
the many friends who have urged
him to make the race, and regrets
that his circumstances at present
are such as will not permit him
to do so.-Ocilla Dispatch.

Sheriff'S SaIesas an Index.

First Tuesday in May and
not single sheriff's sale before
the Floyd county court house
this morning. Here's text for
some one.-Rome Tribune.
Same thing in Troup county.
AS this happens frequently here
we do not think it worth men
tioning. While there were no
sheriff's sales for the first Tues
day in May, it has been a long
time since there we're more
than one or two on any first
Tuesday,-LaGrange Reporter.
Terrell county has reached
the point where a sheriff's sale
is practically a thing of the past,
and The News has not thought
to do much putting and blowing
about it; but while the subject
is up we merely wish to call the
attention of our two esteemed
contemporaries to the fact that
Terrell county had but one such
sale during the present year,
and that during the year 1908 it
did not have any at all-not a
one. How's that, gentlemen?-

Make More Enemies Than Friends
Fitzgerald, Ga, May 16, 'O4
Hon. ]. E. MERCER,
City,
DEAR SIR:-By your bold and
fearless editorial on the Halsey
incident and advocacy of other
cases in favor of the oppressed,
turning thereon the search-light
of publicity, you but further
demonstrate the fact that you
are no respecter of person,
wear no mans collar" and thew
to the line letting the chips 6all
and hit where and whom they
may" This is right and as it
should be with all editors if they
diffuse real and lasting good,
gaining thereby the love of some
and the confidence and prospect
of all, even their enemies, who
are not always in the minority,
by any means, owing to the
policy adopted and course pur-
sued by them, the said out
spoken and manly editors. Yet,
alas for the country's good, how
few of such there are, the great
majority being mercenary turn
coats and weather-cocks.

l would enjoin upon you to
keep right on in your course, as
l am quite sure you wil1-defend-
ing the cause of right and justice
every time, showing up wrong
dolngs, no matter how high and
mighty the culprits, and you will
surely win out in the end. You
will have made more enemies
than friends-men being but
human beings-but these will be
true and tried. worthy, as Pol1on-
ious says of ''grappliug to thy
breast with hooks of STEEL"
Be ever just and fear not.
Riches gained at the expense of
honor are but bitter ashes. A
man of high position should be
even as a lighthouse to weak,
and erring humanity, using his
influence for his country's good,
and all this too, you know, and
more, as your writings and acts
denote.
BY their fruits we shall know
them"
