Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-05-20


" Press Association and unless they change the
Nprogram and 20 to Brunswick from Cordele, we
fear we will not have the chance the pleasure.
Once we had concluded that Irwin was pretty
much of an Estil county, but Pope Brown men
are becoming amazingly frequent-and taIka-
tive.
The farmers candidate, at least has not lost
\ ground on account of recent events.

When we refer to the boys of the Georgia
Weekly Press Association we include the girls.
Don't boys always embrace girls, Brother Mer-
Ger? What were you thinking about, anynoW'

If Editor Stanley comes to Cordele in an en-
1 bracing mood he will get cut cold
We very much fear that if Mayor Drew Paulk
keeps up the pace at which he has been winning
the favor of the people, we shall be beaten Tor
mayor at the next election. That is if Drew
concludes that he wants two years more OF the
trouble on his hands, but Drew may want some
thing better by that time. Be that as it may
we are still in the race and in the to stay.
We like preachers and editors and editor
preachers. Georgia has several all good Ones
and when one of them says anything real nice
about the editor of the Enterprise we clip 1t out
and paste it where we can see it. The following
ia from the preacher-edtor of the Calhoun
County Courier:
Editor Mercer, of the Fitzgerald En-
terprise, runs live paper and speaks out
his mind. We admire a man who has con-
victons and is not afraid to express them"

President Coleman of the Georgia Weekly
Press Association ought to be able to get up an
Interesting program for the Cordele meeting
There's Bro. Mercer-he could write good pa
per on why he pulls for Fitzgerald" Miss Cain
might tell fish story; John Greer's lecture on
babies is said to be suspender-buster Brother
Byrd, over at Blackshear, could tell us all about
the wiles of the patent medicine drummer; Col.
Hilton, over at Townsville, has some clear cut
opinions about political matter; and Editor War
rem Ward could take a shot at the boys for
printing liquor ads.-Nashvie Herald.

In the interest of even handed justice, and
for no personal or selfish reason and for the vnd-
cation of no man, nor for the persecution of any,
we revert to the discharge of Policemen Pant
ridge and Wilson, for whom we have the kindest
personal feelings.
The statement of the case contained in Artie
Zones little paper, "the People, as we'll as the
Statement published in Thursdays Enterprise
were no doubt, intended to put the best side of
the policemens case to the front and not as re-
Abuke to the city council, or the mayor who, GER
skainly acted within their rights and did their
full duty. The charges against the policemen
% sum up the whole, were of an aggravated
nature.
The practice of accepting cash bonds by
policemen, it is true, had been INDUCED in for
years, but nevertheless was clearly wrong
md contrary to law. In the particular
distances charged, the money was held fully
AVS and not until days after the charges were
lawn up and the afidavits made was the money
ered to the mayor who accepted it only to re-
"a It to the parties from whom it had been ex-

srtainly it would be better for all con-
g rest where it is.
