Mayor Paulk has got the habit of running
the fines in his court above the $780, mark

The cross road burgh or village that IS not
asking for new county is certainly sleeping
over it's rights.
John D. Rockefeller Jr is supposed to have
the plunkers but he dosn't look any better than

The Enterprise is opposed to sectonalsm
in the selection of Governor-the sort OF Sec
tionasm that has operated against south Geor"
gia 10 these many years.
Candidates Russell and Howell both claim

u. S. court that settles a loss to the editor of
this paper of several thousand dollars, not on ac-
count of bad business management, neglect or
provdentia1 causes. We are simply the victim
of judicial process that robs us of our private
funds. We were ordered by the state court to
do certain thing which we undertook to do

private funds. The matter was transferred
from the state court to the u S. court which re-

of antagonistic counsel, scrutinized every act
and investigated every item of expenditure and
complimented us on the clean showing we made,
then on the theory that the state court has no
rights that the U. S. court is bound to respect,
in the matter of insolvent debtors, tells us that
our faithful efforts have been in vain and that
the money we used for the estate is lost.

will compare the prices received by Weekly
papers for local advertisements, legal advertise
ments and foreign advertisements, he will find
that foreign advertisers pay less to humbug
people with their patent medicine schemes than
people with their patent medicine schemes than
the home merchant pays to advertise his goods,

ments. This ought not be So We need
