SUSTAIN SUPERIOR COURT

The opinion by the supreme court in the Meriden case of Martha c. Noxon against Mary E. Remington, has been received by the clerk of the superior court.
 The supreme court sustains the lower court and in its opinion gives reasons as follows:
 'T1he trial court committed no error in denying the defendants motion for a new trial upon condition that the plaintiff should remit $2,050 and ren- derfng judgment for the remaining $1,700 of the amount of the verdict.
 "In North vs. New Britain, which was an action to recover for personal injuries, was held that it was within the power of the trial court to grant new trial upon the ground that the damages were excessive, and to grant it, unless the plaintiff should remit a certain part of the verdict.
 We are clearly O fopinion that the practice of thus granting 8 new trial nisi, in certain cases where the dam- ages awarded by the verdict are clearly excessive, is a beneficial one to the par ties and is in no sense a usurpation of the functions of the jury"

APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT.


 An appeal has been taken in the su- preme court in the case of P. F. Cronan against Thomas W. Corbett, both of this city, for the purpose of having that tribunal determine the legal claims of each of the litigants regarding certain property on Ashmun street.
 Attorneys Russell and Pigott appear ing for Cronan have taken the appeal, as Judge Wheeler in the superior court rendered judgment against his client. The action hinges on whether a lien held by Corbett on three houses on the street mentioned takes precedence over a mortgage on the same property, held by Cronan. Judge Wheeler found that one lien could legally be placed on the houses in question. Attorneys stoddard & Goddhart appear for Corbett.

"HONESTY"-A DEFINITION.

There are men who do not divide actions
merely unto those that are honest and those
that are not, but create third subdivision
that of law honesty, of that kind of honesty
which consists in keep ng clear of the peniten-
tiary. . The distinction upon which we
must insist is the vital, deep-lying, unchange-
able distinction between the honest man and the
dishonest man. There are men
who use the noxious phrase business is busi-
ness as an excuse for every kind of mean and
crooked work, and these men make honest
Americans hang their heads because of some
of the things they do. . The scoundre1
who fails can never by any possibility be
dangerous as the scoundrel who succeeds, and
of all the men in the country, the worst citizens,
those who should excite in our minds the most
contemptuous adherence, the men who
have achieved great wealth, or any other form
of success, in any save clean and straghtfor-
ward manner. "-President Roosevelt at Atlanta,
October 20.
We can not hope to improve on the above quo.
tation from the President, but we can earnest
our approval of every word spoken.
The man who congratulates himself on
keeping clear of tie pententiary never fools his
neigh ors who understand his dishonesty even
better than he does himself.
There are entirely too many men who con-
fuse the word honesty with other terms in the
English language. Inc PRESIDENTS definition
is good one.
1t may not be generally known that Fitzger.
aid has an exceptionally good freight rate on cot
ton. 81 cents TO ship side at the ports of Savau-
nah and Brunswick, or IS cents fiat This low
rate of freight has given US some advantage
over our older ompettors aud to some extend
accounts for our phenomenal growth cotton
market. Ocl1a enjoys the same rate and is Fitz-
gerald's sharpest competitor. Fitzgerald will

The vice protectors of Philadelphia got it

sooner or later the grafters are swept into the
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-11-09

Long editorials, harping on deplorabe con-
dtions, will not reform bad people, but certainly
will give the town a bad name in the minds OF
good people.-Leader.
Now there it goes again.
Bless the old mans heart.
He ought to know better. Five or six years
ago when the Enterprise came into the field,
the writer of the above quoted paragraph had
had five or six years opportunity at the cond-
itons in this town. We do not knowwhether ne
swore out any warrants, or ever did one thing
to improve the moral conditions. If he did, his
efforts were certainly disappointing, for the
moral tester had, under his guardianship, grown
to be a running sore, the mal-odor OF WHICH
had reached the uttermost corners OF the state.
Harlots haunted the rum shops, and mack line
to a bawdy house was considered business
cinch. Scarlet women swept the school girls
from the sidewalks aud practically monopollzed
the hack business of the town. Their brilliant
ribbons and hashy attire were constantly in
evidence on on our streets. Gambling devices
occupied vacant lots, and the rivalry between
poker rooms and gambling dens was more ami
mated than the competition between mercantile
establishments The wide-openers had the
other crowd(?) b1uffed to stand-still.
Such were the conditions in Fitzgerald
when we first took editorial cognizance of the
situation, then the man who 'harps" about the
editorial remedy had enjoyed about five years OF
opportunity with the leading paper in his hands.
In that time Fitzgerald became famous, or rath-
er Infamous the length and breadth of the state.
The knowledge of her sins-shame had not
1eon sDroad Derhans throuoh the editorial COLI
umns of the local press, but it spread just the
same, like sickening miasma.
What we have accomplished through this
paper and through it's editorial columns at that,
is attested, in writing by hundreds of the very
best people in this county, or any other county;
has been approved repeatedly, every day
on the streets of the city and the highways of
the county has been approved and commended
often from the pulpits of the community; then
what else could we say to the editorial harping
above quoted?
We will say, brother, you are mistaken; at
least we are impressed that way. If you under
take to hide the vice and corruption, the stencil
will become more intense and leak out to offend
the nostrils of every passerby.
We would say, if you are welded to your
opinions pursue your courses we will pursue
ours, and thus we both take our chances in the
public estimation.
After all, it is a matter of opinion You
may be right-we do not think so.
Our campaign OF six red-ho: years has lost
us friends and business, while it has made us
friends (of different character) and a repu-
tation of which we are proud.
