Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-08-19
Editor Rogers announces 10 his yesterdays

al amendment allowing the creation OF one
new county, and designating t1tzger-
aid as the county site was killed almost be-
fore it was started on the rounds"
Walter probably got his information( y from
some fellow who had been about the capitol lab
oring under the deluson that they were OBJ
structing the Northen county movement. The
bill, asking for another constitutional amend
ment was not killed at ALL and the only reason
it was not adopted was that it was started on
the rounds" entirely too long before it was at
tempted to put it on it's passage
Walters informant, in all probability knows
more about sheep shearing than he does about
the intricacies of legislation and when the effort
to make the bill special order failed he proba-
bly, really believed that the bill had been put on
it's passage, which was not the case. The con-
gested condition of the calendar at the close OF
the session led the friends of the bill to attempt
to make it special order, but as a two-thrds
vote was necessary in this case, and many mem
bers we're absent on urgent committee work
two votes failed to develop the necessary two
thirds majcrity-only by few votes each time,
good safe majority voting for the special order
in the face of the pressure of many bills OF gen.
eral Importance
No. dear Walter, the bill is not killed, but is
the Invest wire on the calendar ready for early
consideration at the next session. Compose
Yourself me b'hoy, an do not allow any man or
anv fool sentiment to persuade you that dear
Irwnvill's days as a county site are not number"
ed, and that Fitzgerald with her ten thousand
and more population in few years and as the
capital of one of Georgia's best counties will ex-
tend trolly line in that direction over which
bo~ ccitiz occasional

Editor Mercer of the Fitzgerald Enter
Prise is quite wrathy over the receipt of an
ANONYMOUS communication bearing on the new
county matter, and thanks the Lord that the
colony city is not burdened with many such
skunks." In the course of events there will
come to the surface isolated cases of macon-
tents-back pullers-whose pess1m1st1c ideas
are antagonistic to anything tending toward
progressive spirit, yet their doleful harp1ngs
are as chaff against the indomltable energy and
public spirit of those who labor for the present
and future welfare and advancement OF their I'M
mediate section and the whole country as we'll
Sparks Advertiser.
No. we are not wrathy. The little note was
received during the editors long absence IN
Atlanta, and reads as follows:
what will become of poor Jesse
now? A failure as usual. WE'LL as we
all expected"
Temporary Editor Lee naturally resented
it, but we should have passed it unnoticed.
Like every other American community,
Fitzgerald is afflicted with few sorry cusses,
dead heads, nonentties whose principal stock in
trade consists in despising the more industrious
of their neighbors. Men who never contributed
dollar or days effort to the common good,
but who live day after day with no higher
purpose than to back-bte those who are more
industrious and successful.
We have never laid claim to great achieve
ments, or many of them, but we wouldn't mind
risking a com parison of records with the lnsg-
nfcant, back-bting, cowardly skunk-anony-
Three years ago Fitzgerald had one little
cotton warehouse. In it's walls was ample room
for all our cotton at the busiest of the cotton
season.
When the buildings in course of
construction are finished we will have five brick
and stone warehouses. Three of them the larg-
est and most modern type.
Three years ago Fitzgerald did not have cot
ton buyer, the few scattering bales that came to
town were taken by the local merchants when
sure of large margin in the price. Now sew
era1 large cotton companies have buyers IN the
market here and the warehouse competition is
the best guarantee of proper treatment of the
