Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-11-07

halls with never an executive hand upl1tted to
stay their unholy purposes.
For Gods sake give us Watson, give us
Populism, give us anything, give us nothing
rather than this icily regular, splendldly null
ignominious, incompetent, corrupting domlna-
ton. For Heavens sake let Georgia rise up
and put out this crowd of ninnies and political
bags that have been handed down from an age
of cobwebs and antiquity.
Think of it, we people of Georgia, that
Clark Howell has been the expounder and keep
er of your Democracy! Ye Gods and little hsn-
es, have a care that your Democratic crowns
are on straight, and your little red fms have not
too much rouge, for this monitor OF the JeHer-
son party will declare that your Democratic
record is not divine or that your fms, dear little
fishes. are too much akin to Populism, or SoclaE-
ism, or some other rubric malady.
If Mr.. Howell were brighter and broader ne
would know that Georgia is not as politically
hide-bound as she was decade ago. He would
know that there is more 1iberality and political
freedom stalking abroad and that the people
are not going to take fright at the scare'croWs
that made them tremble then. His cry OF wolf
at the sight of Tom Watson isn't going to fright
en- even little bit. Tom Watson is about the
most popular man in Georgia today and the peo-
pie are learning to love and respect him more
with every issue of his magazine. If Mr.. How
ell thinks he is discounting his opponent by bug
abooing Mr.. Watson at the people, it is but an
other evidence of his mental limitation We
are gratiied that Hoke Smith has finally come to
an appreciation of this great Georgian whose
Life of Napoleon" alone has done more to
honor Georgia than all the achievements of
Clark Howell and his ancestors. The people
of Georgia would rather play in Tom Watson's
backyard than to be guests Of honor on Clark
Howell's palatia1 front veranda.

it will be wet or dry here next July.
In Philadelphia they have two factions, the
vice haters and the vice protectors. We have
these factions in Fitzgerald. Which side are you
on?
1t is the whole field against Hoke Smith, but
we believe he will pull through all right, and
look and feel better than any of the also rams.
Boston Times.
Ben Jones, of Macon, ought to read what
Carlyle said of the gnat on the bulls horn. He
would then understand what Cleveland will
think if he ever finds out there is Ben Jones.
If what was done in Atlanta is any indication
of what is to take place in the other hundred and
forty-four counties in the state, the people will
tar and feather some county executive commit
tees long before the paign is finished. The
old scheme, trick is good name for it, of work
ing and fixing county committees was worn
thread-bare in this end of the state two years age
when an effort was made to fix enough county
committees to send Jim Griggs to the ST. Louis
convention, and the people will not stand for it il
this next campaign. Mark the prediction thai
there will be trouble in several counties if the
game attempted in Atlanta by Nym Mccullough
is undertaken generally throughout the state
We shall have great deal to say on this sub
iect from time to time, and we are Coins to say il
as strong as we know how
Gags will not work in this baliwick.
