EDITOR ENTERPRISE:

EDITOR ENTERPRISE:
Permit few words in the way
of an explanation in regard to
your editorials in the Enterprise
of May 10Th.
You have evidently been de-
ceived by the farmers" as the
writer was last Thursday.
You speak of "the kids who
are feeding the pound X by
going outside of the city limits
for cattle. Yesterday eight
head of cattle, belonging to Mr..
Geo. Mink, who lives four miles
southeast of the city, were i'm
pounded, ETC., etc.
Now to the facts. What are
they? On Wednesday evening
the writer looked from his back
door and saw the same EIGHT
head" of cattle browsing leisurely
around just back of the Christian
church, and no boy was in sight,
save my own, who were playing
in the back yard. I have seen
this same, or a similar herd, just
south of the park on several oc-
casions. And twice have star t.
ed them toward Roanoke Drive,
to save their owners paying a
pound fee.
No boys were in sight of the
herd on either occasion.
But on last Wednesday, (the
herd having come so much near
er I'M I TOLD MY boys to drive
them over to the pound. I fol-
lowed on, and told the pound
master just where I found them.
Thursday morning the Mayor
sent for me to come up and iden-
tify the herd, which did.
Mr.. MINK put up very pitt
full plea, saying II will have tc
give bond, as I HAVE NO MONEY
to pay them out, ETC." He men
toned the editor of the Enter
prise as one who would 60 on his
bond-and some one else, 1 for
get who. He soon enlisted my
sympathies, and I spoke a few
words in his behalf, which saved
him $1.50 on the charges. 81
soon as released from $50 O.
the $500 fees, he, to show, as i
seemed to me, how grateful e,
he was to me, and how complete
ly he had taken me in" pulled
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1904-05-26

Mr.. Mink came to this Office to
state his troubles to the writer,
IA great many people come to us
and, not having any troubles of
our own, we often take on the
burdens of our friends.) With
Mr.. Mink on this occasion was
the old negro Abe McGarvin
who stated to the writer in the
most unequivocal language that
he had seen several boys driving
this bunch of cattle toward the
city. We questioned the old man
closely and his evidence was un-
equivoca1 as to the identity of the
cattle and that they were being
driven by two or three white
boys and one negro, and that
when he saw them they we're far
beyond the city limits, east of the
creek east of the cemetery. We
had no right to doubt his testi-
mony, especially since we had
heard repeatedly that certain
boys had been seen driving cat
tie into the city for the purpose
of participating in the pound fee.
Purely as a matter of kindness
to Mr.. Mink we wrote the mayor
the following letter:
May 10, 1904.
Hon. Thos. Wilson, Mayor.
City.
My Dear Sir:-Mr. Mink has
eight head of cattle in the pound,
while I believe in enforcing the
pound law, in this instance it
becomes more important to
punish the little miscreauts, who
evidently drove the cattle into
the city.
The old negro, Abe McGarvin,
states positively that he saw the
boys, probably the -
boy and the negro boy -
and some other kid driving
the cattle toward the city. He
will make his statement to you.

this, these injured(?) farmers
talked very rough to the mayor
and the chief.
Well, as am getting a little
warm, I will bring my scattering
remarks to close by simply
saying that your Eyewitness"
denied to the mayor that he
brought in any such report.
Now what?
Simply this. I shall encour-
age my boys to drive every COW
they find loose on the streets of
this city, to the pound. And 1
shall, furthermore, be very slow
to lntercede in behalf of those
who claim their cattle has been
driven in by irresponsible boys,
for a fee." In fact, would lust
about as soon believe the boys as
their accusers. I would. For it
is hardly REASONABLE to suppose
that boys who go beyond the linn
its for a fee, would turn the herd
loose to browse for hours, and
finally be driven to the pound by
other boys, after they had gone
four miles for them. This is
not the way little rascals" ordi-
narily do business.
And verify believe, that about

against the boys for going to the
country are made of whole cloth.

It is better to spend a large sum in test work than to contract a mill on improper lines. If another mill saves five per cent. more than the first on the same grade of ore, the reason for the preliminary test work is brought to ones attention. and the mill that effects low saving becomes antiquated in proportion to its loss. measured by the saving effected by the better mill running expense being the same.
