Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-11-28
SUNDAY TRAFFIC.

BID the Waycross Journal
The Journal heartily concurs in the position
The recent grand jury-that all illegal Sunday
6siness shall stop.
We also believe that the sale of Peruna has
come detriment to the community and there
no better time to call halt than the present.
hxuna has many high recommendations as
dicine and from personal experience we
s0w it is good remedy for several ills, but 1t
IS become much abused remedy and many
sople are using it to their hurt and to their
1T and to the disturbance of the community
II it is time to rule it out.
Whiskey is a good remedy and was so In
hded, no doubt, by the Creator, but thousands
people have used it to the hurt of themselves
Ill their fellows and the result is inevitable
aust not be sold as beverage.
In this connection it is to be regretted that
report should have gone abroad, without I'M
Sdiate explanation, that our druggists had
Ia indicted for selling liquor without license.
RE. the Indictment did read that way and the
bort was technically correct, but as there was
law against Peruna, it was the only way the
Hictment could be drawn.
The grand jury knew and everybody, who
Eows the Waycross druggists, knows that
liz are all heightened gentlemen and not one
HEN would break the law fagrantly and ma
ously.
Those who have sold contraband articles on
niay have had a long precedent for their
ons and they meant no disobedience to the
&eEN1- &c Go hn foc # hat
v all. with one accord, agreed to comply with
letter of the law as soon as the community
med upon the practice.
We believe that there will be no more vio-
bns of these statutes and those parties whom
Grand jury has exempted, for lack Of evil
Ice or for some unknown reason, would do
to stop their Sunday business, for another
nd jury may not make any distinctions. In
opinion no exemption should be made in any
The law should be the only guide, and
should be obeyed absolutely.
CONGRESSMAN Thomas w. Hardwick author
lie disfranchisemen bill is out in card to
s voters of Ga. that we would like to publish
he Enterprise, but it would require entirely
much of our space. In answer to the claim
The white primary is complete solution of
auestion, Mr. Hardwick asks why does it
fail to soveit in the liquor elections, in stock
Elections, in bond and taxation elections,and
umerous other elections.
But it is contended that if we will let the
fo go he will disfranchise himself, that he
already done so. Undoubtedly, but how
will he stay disfranchised? Just as long
IS vote has no commercial value, just so long
one pays his back taxes and then pays
10 vote. That day will come again, just as
;nly as it came in 1880 when the Colquit-
rcod contest paid his back taxes for twelve
& IN as many weeks, re-enfranchised him
crowned him the senseless arbiter of
mans fight It will come again.
The white primary can never be the per-
ali solution It is only temporary expedi-
amirab1e for the time being, born of the
necessities of the hour. 1t is no more
sanent cure than the anesthetic the patient
