Saturday evening about the
close of the weekly task as we
were issuing checks to our nine
able assistants for their weekly
services, silvery-haired visitor
with a bright face stepped in and
approaching the editor, laid his
hand gently on our shoulder and
said that he had walked all the
way over to the Enterprise office
to commend us for the tone of
our editorial page, and added,
You have done more for Fitz-
gerald than any other one-any
two-any half dozen other men.
And he left the office without
asking for small loan or other
favor. He is a colonist from
Missouri and good man.

| always regret to read such
articles as the one published ia
today's paper by an anonymous
writer, AN old soldier crippled, >"
of one fact I am satisfied, this
soldier never received his iniur-
les in battle, the very name SOL
der is synonymous with bravery,
to my mind it is impossible to
conceive anything so despicable,
so cowardly, a literary assassin
as it were, scandalum magnatum.
These anonymios letter writ
ers were always drafted into the
army, and served their country
in the hospital, and are now liv-
ing on the bounty of a generous
government.
The present editor of the Citi-
zen is a soldier with an honor
able discharge, a man who has
held his integrity in higher es-
TEEN than his business abtlity,'
much to his own detriment.
Should this 'old soldier Grip
pied" ever again wish to stir up
a feud under the guise of peace I
would suggest he should use the
nom de plume of Ichobod, audi

Faithfully yours,
SYDNEY CLARE.
Mr.. Clare who is a director in
the Dixie Printing Company, has
assumed that the article referred
to was aimed at him. While we
can not more than guess who the
odd soldier crippled, and blind"
did have reference to, we feel
sure that he had no thought of
personating Mr.. Clare. 1t will
possibly never be known who
was meant, but unless the blind
old hero of the sixties hobbies
down to our Office and informs
US that he did refer to Mr.. Clare
we can meyer believe it.
An attempt on our part to de-
fend the reference to those who
are now living ION the bounty of
a generous government" would
probably not be appreciated and
we will leave that for some "old
soldiers" task for which we Of
fer the use of our columns, pro-
vided always, no reference is
made to Mr.. Clare. He is our
personal friend and we will not
allow any odd soldier crippled

that matter, toassail him in these
columns Cor, we have a good will
to say, in these times.)
1t has been several weeks now
since we licked a good man (phys-
ically,) we don't mean licked him
physically, but a good man phys
lcally, and we stand ready to de-
fend Mr.. Clare at all hazards.
AT the same time we are in
some doubt, as he uses several
terms that might be, since we
come to think about it, cuss
words, for instance "scandalu m

FOR NEW COURT HOUSE
AUTAUGA OFFICIALS INSPECT SOUTH ALABAMA STRUCTURES.
Erection of Modern Temple of Justice at PrattviIle Marks Decadence of Ante-Bellum Buildings
 in South.
lBy Will T. sheehan.

Evergreen, Ala. Dec. 7.-(Staff Cor respondence.)-Probate Judge G. S. Livingston and the Court of County Commissioners of Autauga County are on a trip inspecting the several new and handsome court houses which have been recently built in South Alabama.
 Autauga County has definitely decid- ed to build a modern up-to-date court house. The county officials are anx- ious to learn the experience of other counties in the matter of court houses. The Autauga officials went to guide their feet in the important enterprise by the experience of the officials of other counties.
 In late years Baldwin, Escambia, Conecuh and Butler Counties have all built new court houses. It Is an era of court house building. The old style court house Is following the stage coach into inocuous desuetude. The nte-bellum court house was a distinct type. Its walls were built like fort, its offices like dungeons and its court room like the main floor of a cold storage plant. Often 1t sits in the cen ter of a square that was set apart for 1t when the town was laid out.
 The old style buildings. however. de- mand for their merit, due share of praise. They were built In the old way for all time and even now while un- comfortable and out of date, they are not falling to pieces. A fine type of the old style court house Is in the public square at Tuskegee. In fact. the Au- tauga County court house at Prattville might stand as a sample of the an- cient old buildings But handsome, airy and substantial buildings are now the demand to replace the old structures. To meet this demand. Autauga County has begun the work of erecting a new structure.
 It will cost about $350.o00. Adver- tisements for plans and specifications have been published. They will be submitted to a meeting of the Court of County Commissioners on December 14 at Prattville.
 To prepare themselves to meet in- telligently their duty in passing upon the plans and specifications. Judge Liv- ingston and the County Commissioners are making a close personal inspection of the South Alabama court houses. Accompanying Judge Livingston are M A. Graham, W. A. Candy. Mims Howard and w B. Sanford. Tuesday afternoon they spent fin Greenville; today they will go to Brewton and Bay Minette. to be built at a cost of $15,000. Both buildings are to be fre-proof.
 The buildings will be paid for by the county warrant system; that Is. the county will issue series of warrants, such warrant to be due at the end of a certain term of years. Court house

 The Board has directed Assistant

It will be recalled that outside of g few hundred dollars of escaped taxes the alleged shortage of Case consisted Of a double allowance from the State on errors and insolvent assessments Those credits were made from time to time and 1t Is now pointed out by Counsel Gray that because in two en- tries of this kind on Cases books the amounts were similar they were mista- ken by the assistant examiner for a double allowance for one of the errors and insolvent assessment credits.

!, Consider this We'll

Constipation causes nine-tenths of all the disease and misery in the world. It leads to more constitutional weaknesses than any other affiiction. When one is constipated the food no longer supplies the necessary nourishment. the blood becomes watery, the muscles fabby, and the general health broken down. Constipation causes poisonous gases to rise, and these are carried by the blood to every tissue of the body. Constipa- tion weakens the muscles of the ali- mentary canal; cathartics and purga- tives only increase this diseased condi- tiou.
