Editor Mercer says the reason the Yankees
don't like to chew cane is that it gets so dry
after chewing it awhile.-Boston Times.

The farmers here are able to hold their cot
ton, but they are not so disposed to hold it when
offered 10 cents. When they get the twelve cent
fever you will see the price go up.
Il n
Cotton is not the only thing the farmer has
for sale that is bringing good price. The 15c
and zoe chickens are bringing 30c and 4Oc and
often more, and 10c eggs are worth soc.
Jess Mercer intimates that he is trying to
boom the Sunday school cause in Fitzgerald.
There is always hope for the man on the stool

John Herring's paper, the Triton Gazette,
this week carries four full page advertise
ments, and then some. Those are enterprising
merchants at Triton, or John Herring knows
how to work his rabbit foot better than this
editor does.
The Fitzgerald Enterprise continues to
sparkle and if the merchants of the Colony City
don't give Editor Mercer a liberal patronage,
might be the first to regret it-Montezuma
Record.
The merchants of Fitzgerald have been
very kind to the Enterprise, but right at this
time they seem to be late getting in their autumn
ads, although there is plenty money in the pock-
cts of the farmers who come to town every day.
Everybody admits that Hoke Smith is away
in the lead for gubernatoria1 honors and his op-
ponents can only take hope from the query:
"Wil he be able to hold the gait?" The Herald
thinks he will, for Mr.. Smith is built physically
and mentally for the most grueling sort of exer-
cise.-Augusta Herald.
Hoke Smith will more than hold his own in
the hottest and the longest campaign. He is
anchored on the rock of eternal right and he has
the physical and mental strength to hold his
ground and gain on his competitors.

THE ELIMINATION OF GRAFT.

San Francisco Call, Sept. 5.
The overthrow Of the rule of the graft
ers in Minneapolis was the subject Of an
address delivered yesterday morning by
the Rev. L. H. Hallock, ID, before the
Congregational ministers meeting, held
in the Young Mems Christian Association
building. He told of the deplorable con-
dition Of civic affairs which formerly
prevailed in Minneapolis, and explained
the remarkable and wholesale change
under the present mayor, David P. Jones.
DR.. Hallock said in part:
"By judicious and firm measures In
which Mayor Jones has had the sympa-
thy of the truly patriotic public he has
eliminated the graft and suppressed the
disorderly elements of Minneapolis
Mayor Jones is no fanatic, but by moder-
ate and wholesome administration is
steadily accomplishing the renovation OF
the city. o..
HE encounters the criticism Of the
over-radical and the synpathizers with
vice, but the great body of the people
support him cordially and make success:
possible. Under the administration O.
| Mayor Ames, who was convicted of graf
and on technically escaped the peni
| tertiary, the hope Of cleansing the city
seemed a forlorn one, but the people
ashamed and indignant at the deplora
| BILE conditions, rallied and elected an un
compromising defender Of the city's hon
or. The result is great joy to every
| lover Of civic righteousness.
