Why, Editor Camp Why on earth do you
say that? Specify one word or sentence on that
line from this paper, one unkind word we have
said of Mr.. Howell or any other candidate IN
this race-and we haven't seen it from any pa
per. With all candor, it does seem that the
Howell supporters have an absolute monopoly on
the ugly things that are being said in this cam
paign.-Fitzgerald Enterprise.
The Brunswick Journal has never accused
the Fitzgerald Enterprise of singing mud. Its
editor is too clean man for that. We do say,
however, that many papers supporting Hoke

The Valdosta Times, which has been COM
ing to us for many months only twice per week,
makes its politest bow and announces that, after
Monday, it will come every day. The twice

resenting the Bo1ingbroke Orphans Home
managed by Miss Bette Tyler.
The Home is really founding asylum,
home for infants. These orphans homes are
multiplying on us and at the first blush
thoughtless man might conclude that we have an
unnecessary number of them to support, but not
so, rather it indicates that the good people are
giving more thought, time, attention and money
for the care of the little waits than at any time
in our history. The infants and young children
that in the past pave been largely dependent on
the accidental adoption by some worthy neigh
bor) of the deceased parents, are now taken into
the model homes, orphanages, and brought up
under christian influences until they are able to
make their way in the world. No we haven't
too many orphan homes and we commend Miss
Bette Tyler's work and bid her representative,
Mrs. Ida Harden Gods speed.

The reasons which originally inclined me to
the support of Hoke Smith were two-fo1d.
First-We need strong, fearlesssmen in
executive Office to administer the laws we have.
Second-Political states need to be smashed
occasionally, at least-for the public good.
In Georgia we have never reached the con-
dtions which existed in Illinois, Pennsylvania
Missouri but only man densely ignorant of ex-
listing conditions in this stat will deny that
ring of astute politicians, in league with the cor
porate interests of the state, have controlled it
for years and are controlling it today-Seaborn

pretty girl, isn't she?" asked one Chicago
young man of another few days ago YES"
he replied, II believe will marry her." Neither
of the young men was acquainted with the girl.
You can't do it," said the first young man.
Bet you $780," said the other, that can mar
ry her in three days" You're on" was the
ding came off in less than three days, and the
man who lost paid the 500. The nuptials were
celebrated as a result of love at first sight"
The girl was delighted, and the young man had
doubtless his 500 bet in mind. There will be
some business for the divorce courts few
