Mr.. HenderSOn'S Announcement,

We are in receipt of letter
today from Mr.. w. N. Smith, OF
Ocilla, explaining that he had
made the copies of Mr.. M. Hen.
derson's announcement for the
press, and in so doing, I uninten.
tionally left out the word white
before voters"
This, as Mr.. Smith states in
his letter, makes material diff
ference. Indeed it does, for, as
every one understands the pur.
pose of the primary would be
nul1ifed if it were not true.
We are glad this correction
has been made. We would not
do Mr.. Henderson an injustice,
or take an unfair advantage. He
is too good citizen. Besides we
are not given to taking unfair adj
vantages of any kind of a citizen.
Mr.. Henderson will find troub-
lie enough in this campaign with
the very fairest treatment. He
has got the hardest job on his
hands that he has ever undertake
en- Irwin in county politics. The
white voters are overwhelmingly
opposed to the saloons and they
do not believe that Mr.. Hender-
son is. At any rate it is gener-
ally understood that he is the
candidate of the saloon men, and
as his opponent is known to be
eternally and uncompromisingly
opposed to the saloons, and as he
is a good citizen and will make a
capable and creditable repre-
sentative in the legislature. there
is absolutely no excuse for an
man to vote for Mr..
Henderson.

The Hearsties are conducting
a kind of ''the-people-be-damn-
ed campaign in Georgian
southwest Georgia, at least.
knowing that the people are not
for their candidate, these ennis
sarles are trying to fix the demo-
cratic executive committees in
each county, and with them,
have a tacit understanding that
whatever else happens at the
primary, that on April 21st, when
the executive committees under
take to make up the delegation
to the state convention, that
Hearst men be named as dele
gates.
This trick may work in some
counties, and in some it may not;
that remains to be seen. At any
rate the hirelings of the Hearst
campaign are working it for all
it's worth. They are not going
to the people at all.
1t might be interesting to know
the names of these political wire
pullers, and the Enterprise pro-
poses to give them at the proper
time.
We admire a bold and open
adversary, but the dirty, under
handed skunks, who dare not
come out in the open, we heartily

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
FOR REPRESENTATIVE.

am a candidate for represent
alive in the legislature of 1866,
from Irwin county, subject to
the approaching primary, and if
elected, I promise, to the best of
my ability, to give the people
faithful and impartial service,
seeking and accepting the trust
as their servant only.
am in favor of anything that
will help the morals of the coun-
ty and towns, and the suppress
sion of crime. Looking first to
that end, I realize that Irwin
county's great possibilities and
the progress made by her citi-
zens, in building up country
homes, towns, villages, and even
cities in her borders, especially
in the last few years.
pledge myself to introduce
and have enacted into law, if in
my power, any local measure
upon any question proposed,
whenever asked to do so through
petition or ballot by a majority
of the voters of the county, or
any municipal government there
in, regardless of my own convic-
tons in the premises, recogniz-
ing that the will of the people is
supreme, and should and must
prevail.
Your support is solicited.

SCHOOL UNIFJCATION.

The University of Georgia has
undertaken the 1aborious task of
trying to unity or systemic the
schools of the state, so that they
will grade up from the primary
grade to the completion of the
work in the state university.
Prof. J. S. Stewart has been
appointed as the state agent to
canvass the state, with the above
object in view.
While in the city Tuesday, to
see what changes would be neces-
sary to be made in order that
our schools would fit into the svs-
tenn, Prof. Stewart said that we
would not need to make anv
changes in our curriculum, or as
he stated it: "You are already in
it." He found that every study
required for university recogni-
ton was already in our course.
1t seems that, in order that
such a system may be inaugu-
rated, not more than an eleven
year elementary course can be
pursued. To make the REQUIRE
ments heavier would cut out
many schools, and, perhaps, de-
feat the entire scheme. So an
eleven year course has been
planned, with a view of raising
it to a twelve year course in the
near future.
For the past four years, the
Fitzgerald schools have had lust
what the university people are
trying to establish over the state.
North Georgia seems to take to
the plan quite readily, while in
the central and southern parts of
the state, much opposition comes
from the private schools and
small colleges. The university
people think that the results are
sure to come in spite of the op-
posltion-a system beginning
with the civic or public schools
and ending with the university.
The course planned is the wise
course. Any person conversant
with the schools of Georgia knows
that they are not in a hopeless
condition, yet they are in a con-
fused and confusing condition.
Although criticisms sometime
come-usually from the unin-
formed-as to our local schools
and the system, it is gratifying
to know that we are doing what
the leading educators of the state
are seeking to have done in all
parts Of the state.

Supt. of Schools.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Ki1mer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fu1f11s every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug

The clique mas volunteered to open up
the "coon" incident again. Possibly,
when he comes back here in time to
make strong that alleged affidavit the
News said he made against one of the
leaders of the clique, with his oath be-
fore the grand jury, they will wish they
had kept it closed There Is one thing
certain, if what the News said is cor
rect, he has sworn that Democrat gave
him money to vote, and, as yet, we have
not heard of him making oath to any
thing of that sort against any Repub-
lican. The burden of proof is now on
the Democrats to show that they are
not guilty as charged by him. The oath
business is against them, and not
against Republicans. Even should
there have been little hearsay in the
matter as to Republicans, it is fact
that that sort OF evidence does not 60
in law, but plain white and black does,
and the News says there is the plain
black and white in the affair, or in
other words that the "coon" did actually
make an affidavit to the effect that he
received $500 from Democrat, who is
member of the clique, to vote the
Democratic ticket. That crowd are men
of ailidayits, as shown by their recent
conduct. They believe in them, rather
than unsworn statements and declara-
lions and according to their own beliefs
and practice, why should they not be-
lieve the Coon" under oath, rather than
work SO hard to believe the Democratic
hand-me-Slown statements, he was al
legged to have made? What is food for
the goose is also food for the gander.
And in this case, since they chose to
fight it out on afiidavits, let them accord
others the rights tney took. The "coon''
certainly had as much right to make
an affidavit as they did, especially, if he
wanted to purify the elections for poll
teal purposes as they did. The trouble
is he probably wants to purify the side
they do not want purified and that is
why then enter such strenuou. objec-
tons. But, if it is true that "coon'
made an affidavit, just let him alone and
see what he viii do. There is nothing

THE pERDIcAR1s AFFAIR.

No one is fooling the people when
they say Harmer is candidate for the
nomination for the state senate. The
matter, 50 far as we know. has not been
settled, and, when the convention meets
the contest may be as much in his favor
as his opponents. BY the way Harrison
county, which is pledged to Thorn, does
not control the district, according to our
understanding of it. The other two
counties have just as many votes az
Harrison.
