Mr.. G. W. Fowler of Hightower,

while serving on a petit jury in a
murder case at Edwardsville, county
seat of Cleborne cotnty, Ala. He
says: while there ate some fresh
meat and some souse meat and it
gave me cholera morbus in very
severe form. / was never more sick
in my life and sent to the drug store
for a certain cholera mixture, but
the Druggist sent me bottle of
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy instead, saying
that he had what l sent for, but that
this medicine was so much better he
would rather send it to me in the fix
l was in. took one dose of it and
was better in five minutes. The Sec
ond dose cured me entirely. Two
fellow jurors were afflicted in. the
same manner and one small bottle
cured the three of u.s." For sale by

A Card from Secretary Osborne.
Fitzgerald, Ga. 9.15-'o5.

wish to correct the statement
in the report of the Indignation
Meeting" made by Mr.. McMil-
lian, that action of the Board re-
garding the change, was not done
in the regular way. Had Mr..
Mcmillan been present at any
one of the three last regular
meetings of the Board he would
be better informed as to what
was done. At the meeting on
Aug. End. at which the change
was made, there we're present,
Twyman, Lee, Paulk, Gill, John-
son and Osborne, all of whom,
after discussing the question,
voted in favor of the change.
The question was not only dis
cussed at that meeting, but had
also been dicussed at a previous
meeting at which Mr.. Mcmillan
was present, and notice was
given that the matter would be
brought up at the next regular
meeting, as was done.
While it is true that no def
mite time was specified in the
motion making the change, the
understanding of those present
was that it was for the school
year, and the two months trial
was unanimously agreed upon at
the next meeting, to show that
the Board was not acting in an
arbitrary way, but was perfect
1y willing to give everybody a
fair show, and abide by decision.
! People who are in favor of the
new plan have as good right to
have their wishes considered as
those opposing. That is all the
Board asked for. 1t seems that
those opposing are not willing to
do this.
am informed by one who was
present, that the Indignation

The attention of the Enterprise has been
called to the crime of early bird shooting IN this
vicinity We are not personally interested tor
we never shoot birds, but Fitzgerald has quite
a number of good citizens who enjoy the sport
and who are naturally interested in having fair
show at the game. The only possible way TO
do that is to comply with the law.
We have been very much disposed to critl-
else Judge Martins hardness, but his thorough
ness is probably more than an offset to what has
been considered waste of time. He has GER

parts for many years. The mill may grind
slowly and it may appear the least bit expensive,
but we predict that at last the result will iusti-
fly the means.
We are not engaged in prosecutions nor III
prosecutions, but we are standing squarely on
the side of decency. We neTer prosecuted but
one man and we regret now that we did that.
We have had no part in any case tried at this
term of Superior Court, and trust we will not
have at the next term. However, we believe
that without prosecutions, and the fear of pros
ecutions this country would soon be too bad to
live in.

SOIbOA
world has known, has written a strong
letter on the crop conditions and the price of
the staple. He thinks it will go to 12c. He
says to the planters:
1T rests with you to decide the price at
which the present crop of cotton is to be sold.
You have shown your ability to combat the
com bned influence of the largest crop of cotton
ever raised, and the united attacks of bearish
spectators in all the future markets of the
world. If you can get ten cents for crop of
neatly 100000 bales, you can certainly get
the worth of the crop that is many millions of
bales less.
Cotton, the emblem of purity; the founda-
ton of morality
Cotton, that which enables christianity and
civilization to move onward and onward, hand in
hand, to victory
Cotton, that which makes every city, every
town, every hamlet in the wide world pay trib-
ute to America.
Cotton, that which is the essential factor of
all industrial life without which it could not
move forward
Cotton, that which creates, developes and
is the foundation of all commercial advancement.
Cotton, that which enables countless mil
lions to reap the joys and benefits of human
istence.
Cotton, that from which our glorious Stars
and Stripes woven; upon beholdiug which
every patriotic heart thrills with JOY either at
home or abroad.
Cotton, that which is making assured the
commercial supremacy of the United States.
Cotton has, is and always will be the SUI
: 4:..;o 6 he
world.
THE MINIMUM PRICE.
The minimum price of II cents for cotton,
as fixed by the Southern Cotton Associations of
Ashville N. c., is unique stonably warranted by
the conditions existing to-day, and the Southern
Cotton Association will soon see the wisdom of
increasing to II cents in a reasonable time and
much higher than II cents as the season pro-
crosses.
Never was there time that the demands
of the world for Cotton were they are at
the present time.
Never were conditions so favorable for a
maximum consumption as is progressing now.
The mills of the world are consuming over
100000 bales of Cotton per month, equalling
fully Il, 100000 bales of Cotton per year.
The demand for their goods is something
marvellous.
The price of the staple has been hereto
fore entirely inadequate to the amount of labor
that has been put into the production thereof by
the planter.
IL cents for cotton is less in proportion to
the benefits that the planter should receive than
any other commodity produced by the farmer.
In 1908 wool sold on the sleeps back for
cents pound.
In 1905 this year, it sold for % cents
pound on the sleeps back, showing an increase
in two years of
400 per cent.
THE planters of the South are indeed to be
congratulated upon their wisdom in forstalling
the bountiful results that must accrue to them
this coming season.

TRIBUTE TO WALLACE.
A Great Soldier, Author, Diplomat and
Statesman.

Lew Wallace, who died the other
day at his home in Indiana. came near
being the ideal type of American.
General Wallace was one of the most
versatile men in American public life.
A great soldier. great literary artist
and, with the making of great diplo-
mat and statesman. men looked upon
him from many viewpoints and always
found him inspiring. General Wal
laces deathless contribution to human
ity is "BenHur." an ideal novel of the
time OF Christ. This novel has been
read wherever the influence of Chris
tianity has extended, and there is ne
doubt that it will continue to WELD
a tremendous influence for generations
to come. Hardly less strong and strik-
Ing have been other novels written by
General Wallace, and his impress on
English literature is strong one.
Aside from his literary work. Gen.
3ral Wallace distinguished himself as
a leader in the Civil war, and later
made very creditable record as terri.
torial governor of New Mexico. His
work in the Southwest did much to
ward the advancement of New Mexico
as a territory. His interest in the
Southwest never died. as evidenced by
the fact that when joint statehood foI
New Mexico and Arizona was proposed
General Wallace uttered vigorous
protest against the losing OF New Mex
ico's identity.
General Wallace's career as minister
TO Turkey was brilliant, and had h.
cared to continue in the field of diplo.
macy he would have become fore
most figure But the literary life suited
him best and the closing years Of his
life were spent in quiet at his home il
Indiana.
Few men have contributed in Sc
many ways to the advancement Of theiT
fellow men. and Gen. Lew Wallace
must rank high among the distin-
guished men Indiana has given the ma
