The law and order league, after careful de-
liberation and with full intention to dono body
an Injustice has determined to enforce the Sun
day law to the extent of closing the stores and
refreshment counters on the Sabbath. War
rantswi be sworn out for viol alton after this
date.
Editor Mercer, of the Fitzgerald Enter
prise, had an article in a recent issue IN refer
ence to the extortionate prices charged tor
printing material by the trusts. He speaks
our sentiments exactly when he says something
should be done by the press to put stopt to it.

We want to see the editors and publishers
of the Weekly Press at the Cordele Convention.
There is some important business that ought to
be attended too and can only be attended to by
the men who are running the daily papers of the
state Let the Representatives" stay at home
and let the editors and publishers turn out.

Yes, we failed to get out our Thursdays
paper as it was physical impossiblity for our
mechanical department to meet the demands on
our Job office. We had no idea that the paper
would be so greatly missed and promise not to
do so any more. You shall have your Enter
prise dear reader three times per week. We
are getting out this paper in plenty time to save
the country but will not again take the risk.

The Savannah Press last week told of
in Savannah that coughed up live snail. The
Press further stated that the snail had been in
the mans lungs for seven years, 1t explained
further that it Matched in the mans lungs hav-
ing been swallowed while bringing water. This
no doubt will prove great scare to many and
cause them to give up drinking water altogether
in the future.-Quitman Advertiser.

The Enterprise has been variously inter-
viewed by the friends and the opponents of the
stock law. We find good citizens of the county
on both sides of the question and they 1atter
the Enterprise with the suggestion that
might decide the question either way if we went
into the fight and espoused one side or the other.
This, we do not to do. There is good ar
guments to be used both for and against the
adoption of the law by this county at this time.
AS we have before stated it is a matter in
which Fitzgerald is not vitality interested since
we have adopted the stock law in the city.
We are therefore interested particularly in
one suggested and that is a compromise as to a
date when the law shall go into effect. The
proposition comes from the anti-stock law side.
Among the prominent citizens who strongly
favor the stock law who have been to the Enter
prise Office and discussed the matter with us
within the week are Mr.. A. j. Swords and Judge
Wiley Whitley. Both of them strongly in favor
of the law at the same time they are fair mind
ed and both favor the suggested compromise,
although as Mr. Swords explained, the law would
not take effect until the first of next February.
We believe that it would be better to agree
