Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-08-12

When the daily papers arrived in this city
Thursday morning with an account of our fail
ure to secure recognition from the House COM
mittee on New Counties we we're inclined to
believe that our chances Of securing the county
of Northen were very slim, and SO stated in our
issue of that date. Since that time we have
secured information which completely changes
our opinion of the situation. It appears that
we only lost out before the House committee
by one vote and that only resulted after there
had been tie The Senate committee has not
yet made its report but it is asserted by our
committeeman that we stand an excellent show
for recognition at their hands. It is likely that
the name will be changed from Northen to Ben
Hill county, but the main question is to get a
county, and get it now, regardless OF the name.
