Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-08-15

There is good deal of sympathy with ltU
gerald in this connection, and it may be that the
bill will be generally favored.-Atlanta Constr
tuition.
The People of Georgia Will Make No Mistake.
We are not afraid that the people of Georgia
will make any mistake in selecting the right sort
of governor to succeed Governor Terrell. only
once, or twice at most, in our opinion, nave tney
been cheated in their political expectations our
ing the past three and a half decades.-Bruns-
wick Journal.
Who IS afraid? Certainly there is little
cause for alarm on the part of the friends OF the
leading candidate, who the editor of the journal
seems to feel called upon to oppose
"The people of Georgia" are about as safe
as ever and about as unanimous as we remember
to have seen them on the choice of man that we
feel confident WILL make the right sort OF gov
ernor."
Another step in the march of progress was
taken this morning by the Colony City when the
FIVE carriers on the recently established rural
routes started out for the first time to deliver
mail to their patrons. The establishment OF
these free delivery routes is great convenience
to the agrcu1turists of this section, and denotes
that Fitzgerald has taken another stride in the
direction of becoming metropolitan city.

Our Fitzgerald friends might move to Moul-
trie We have a handsome courthouse already
paid for and will be glad to give them an inter-
est in it.-Moultrie Observer.
Thank you, Bro. Allen, for the kind invitation,
but we hardly think it will be necessary to move
in order to get court house. However, if
for any reason weever decide to become citi-
zenof another town, we know of no place that
would appeal so strongly to us as the Second
Best" of the Wiregrass.
A heated controversy occurred this morning
between Alderman Grover, chairman of the
street and alley committee and Street Commits
sioner Smith, and as result the force of men
engaged on street work were discharged for the
day and the team stands idle in the barn. The
trouble resulted from difference of opinion as
to where work should be done at this particular
time, and appeared to us to be a matter that
could have been adjusted to the satisfaction of
all parties by the use of little diplomacy. We
don't know who is to blame for the constant fric-
ton that appears to exist between these parties,
(probably both of them are more or less to
blame but we do know that the interests of the
city are suffering on account of it, and if more
harmonious state OF affairs cannot be arrived at
in the near future, the mayor and city council
should see that we have new chairman for the
street and alley committee and new street COM
missioner to do the work.

On another page of this issue will be found
a communication from Mrs. Lillian Ingles, in
which she takes issue with the Board of Educa-
ton concerning the recent adoption by that body
of the one session plan for the city schools.
The Enterprise has learned that great deal of
criticism Of the new rule is being INDUCED in by
mothers of pupils in the city, and after giving
the matter little consideration we are inclined
we'll taken. In the first place the new rule will
require the pupils to report at least thirty min
utes earlier in the morning, which we believe
will be almost an impossibility with large num-
Der. Hardness is one of the worst evils our
teachers have had to contend with even under
the new. The mother with several children,
who finds it difficult to dress and prepare them
for school by nine o'clock, will be heard from in
no uncertain tones when she is called upon to
perform this task in less time. The one ses-
sion plan may work satisfactorily in high schools
suits will be obtained in the lower grades as
where the old plan is employed. It is true the
one session plan has been adopted by many
