visitors, but good advertisement Tor the Colony
City.
Fitzgerald, it is true is nice size, but there
can be no serious objection to doubling its pop
ulation again aight away. 1t will stimulate bus
ness and will be altogether as pleasant Just
let her grow.
The Fitzgerald Enterprise states they need
new county, and need it bad. The motto that
heads your editorial page is indicative OF results.
Cherokee Advance.
Yes, those who are pulling for Fitzgerald
will be sure to pull the new county OF Northern
out of the next legislature.

The editor of this paper has an abiding
faith in this section of Gods creation, and in this
particular community. We realize though as
fullv as any man, that the good that's in it must
be brought out by intelligent human endeavor'
and we are enlisted in the fight for bigger and
better Fitzgerald and Wire Grass county that
will be the pride of the South

FITZGERALD gets what she needs, sometimes
after DELAYS. The City Court is the next
thing on the list We have long realized its ne
cessity and peristently stood for it sometimes
almost single-handed) but never discouraged,
fail. We have been impatient, at times, with
traitors within the camp, but we are willing to
forgive and forget and allow who WILL to claim
an interest in our City Court"

The little town of Lawrenceville has added
a new feature to the prohibition question by
passing an ordinance placing a license of $1,000
on common carriers delivering liquors to parties

attracting wide spread attention.
The Southern Express Com pany refuses to
violate the ordinance but the liquor dealers have
taken up the fight and have filed a bill compell-
ing the Express Company to accept their goods
and deliver them in Lawrenceville. The case
will be passed on by the supreme court and on
the decision of course great deal depends Tor
if the law is upheld hundred other dry towns
will adopt such a law within week.

You have no enem les? Then you have
never dared stand up for the right against the
wrong; you have never protected the weak
against the bully; you have never dared defend
your own right against oppression: Had you
done any of these things you would have enc
mics, Even if you had done none of these
things. but simply achieved a little more success
in YOUR business than your neighbor, you would
have an enemy, for failure always hates success.
The man who has no enemies should be ashamed
of it.-Qutman Advertiser.
The above strikes us with peculiar force
Every word of it is true. Though we have often
been congratulated for the enemies we have

ers and teachers, and seek the association OF the

lie opinion, we take pride in doing that which
tends to the uplift of mankind or that looks to
moral and industrial progress. Very much
more often than we find it pleasant, we decry
those things that retard progress and tend to

We are in favor of all the county prop
ostions They mean a great convenience and
increased values for many without any hardship
or loss for y.-Milledgevllle News.
We are in favor of all the county prop
ostions, where it is evident that the people in
the territory affected need them and want them.
We very much doubt, however, that there
are more than eight propositions where it is
possible to overcome the local opposition, that
warrant the serious consideration of the legis-
lature. In South Georgia, where the counties
are large and centers of population, trade and
railroad centers are remote from the county site
and the county site is merely a cross roa d with
a court house, or at least commercially unlmpor-
tant in comparison with other towns IN the coun-
ty the people are entitled to relief, and II it be-
comes apparent that eight new cou mites are not
sufficient to meet these conditions, thenlt is the
