Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-10-19

God give us men. A time like this demands
Clear minds, pure hearts, true faith, and ready
hands,
Men who possess opinions and will,
Men whom desire for office does not kill,
Men whom the spoils of Office cannot buy,
Men who have honor, men who will not lie,
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking.
20. w. Holmes.
A letter from Mr.. W. D. Upshaw informs
Il us that his $1,000 Ocilla birthday present was
really about 81, 500. Two or three communities
like Ocilla, with the same generosity they have
Exhibited, would take care of the ffty-three
Young ladies Mr.. Upshaw is educating at Mon
Il roe Female College.
One of the trio of celebrated Toms, Rev.
Thomas Dixon, Jr, author of the Clansman, and
several other red hot novel successes, is at the
present moment in the intensified lime-light
& One day he is Kissed and harassed by indignant
citizens in South Cardinals capital city, the next
dav he is fairly lifted off his feet with hurrahs
and tiger cheers at Savannah This Tom is
making a reputation and record, and we think
making history.
About once every year we see this old myth
going the rounds of the press "A young
= girl who recently sent SO cents to Chicago ad-
pertiser for a receipt to whiten and keep the
y hands soft, received the following reply; Soak
them three times day in dish water while your
mother rests"
Dish water will not soften and whiten the
hands. It's great thing for the girls heart and
habits character and conscience, there is no use
10 lie about it. The paror and the piano is much
better for the appearance of the hands than is
The kitchen and kettles and things
Candidate James M. Smith has been attack
Id by the traducers, by the SANDER brigade
That has been working over time since the two
Smiths were mentioned for gubernatorial hon
prs Colonel Jim Smith writes salty card to
The several leading dailies, denouncng his SLAM
aerers and pronouncing the charges as unfound-
I'd, false and malicious
In addressing Editor John Temple Graves,
himself a candidate for the U. S. senate he
eloses with the following very interesting sug
Restion:
mr.. EE1roR:
The article above referred to,
signed by N. "A. f1utCneSOn, nj. u,
seems intended to boom you and Clark
Howell. Your friends are mortified,
and your opponents delighted that you
have allowed the columns of your widely
circulated newspaper to become ready
and willing vehicle for disseminating
SANDER, vile and infamous, against an
innocent man.
Sometimes it is necessary for men
to pray, not for the forgiveness of their
sins, but to be relieved from their fool
friends. If r A. Hutcheson M. D., is
a fair sample of your and Clark How
ellis friends and boomers, the sooner
you and Clark sing the long metre dox-
ology and dismiss the congregation the
better.
THE people of Georgia expect and
demand that every candidate shall run
on his merits and point to what he has
done for Georgia, and not what he ex-
poets or intends to do.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, allow
me to say l made up my mind early IN
life to steer clear of immortality and dis
sipation, stick closely to business and
make success of life and leave name
behind me, when | am dead, which will
be an honor to my race, my country
and my ancestors. leave to those who
know me best to say how near come
to my ideals.
"Who steals my pnrse, steals trash;
tits something, nothing;
Twas mine tits his, and has been slave
20 thousands;
But he that flches from me my good
names
- of that which not enriches
