It's funny that the papers that have pro-
tested against joint debates between the guber-
Material candidates are all papers that favor Mr..
Howell's election. We have not seen an obJec-
ton in Hoke Smith paper and there are plenty
of them. We say it's funny, isn't it?
1t is bad day when Clark Howell begins
to accuse such men as Jesse Mercer of favorlng
an opponent because he received favors from an
administration of which that opponent was
part. Jesse Mercer is not in the habit of trim
ming his conscience or selling his principle for
any sort of pay, and when Clark Howell makes
the accusation he is sure to bring down the
wrath of every man who knows Mercer. We
have known Jesse Mercer from our childhood,
and we know he has a conscience as fine as
gossamer and as true and strong as steel. He
would not favor Smith for all Smith is worth
unless he honestly believed him more worthy
to be governor than Howel.-Waycross Jour-
nal:

The Enterprise is directly interested in

to the political conditions in this state and to

citizens and voters. This paper hates to see the
people so completely surrendered to the political
ringsters, state county and town.-Telfair En-
terprise.
It's brave man who will take the position
of Editor McRae, above stated. He not only
invites the criticisms and jeers of the ringsters,
who are ready to call everything demagogue
that stands out against their Vaccinations, but
he puts himself entirely outside the pale of pos
sible political pull Men who express
themselves that way are literally blacklisted by
the men who control'' state and county politics,
but there is greater reward, where the man
cares for the respect and confidence of the
people.

issues involved in the present gubernatorial
campaign.

This is Jim Turner's rooster, Jim is not
much to crow himself and we put the rooster
up here to crow for him.
Mr.. Turner fought good fght-won in
clean campaign against ugly com binations, we
predict that he will make as clean an alderman
as he did candidate.
Certainly the result OF the election was ALL
right, all right, from the Enterprise standpoint.
No more complete cleaner victory could be
wished for.
Yes, the whiskey question was in it, good
and strong, in spite of all that we could say and
do. 1t was literally rammed down our threats,
but we shall see that nothing comes OF It,
There will be no attempt on the part OF any
alderman to take hold Of the whiskey question,
the ensuing year. The issue will be fought on
other ground, the probability is it will be fought
hard our prediction is that there will be con-
siderable done on that line within the next
twelve months, but what we stated before the
election, we want to stress now, that there is or
was nothing in the recent municipal campaign
for or against the sale of whiskey. The issue
was used Tuesday simply to solidify the oppo-
sition and it was used for all it was worth.
Saturday night the writer present in
mass meeting of carefully selected representa-
tive business men in which it was agreed that
the prohi bition issue and the bank issues would
be taken out of the campaign in order that best
people and the business men might get together
for the good of Fitzgerald. Then we had reas-
on to believe that the agreement would be etfec-
tive but the agencies of discord, the men who
have fattened certainly long enough on our dis
sensions, organized against US. Monday night
after the council meeting, they put their heads
together to rule or ruin. or possibly both. We
do not mention this here throany syleen or spite
for we are feeling too good over the result to
barber any ill feeling, but it is important that
the truth be known and that we understand
each other as We go along.
There was no whiskey fight yesterday
cept in the minds of those who were disposed to
use 10 whip the forces into line, and lets keep in
mind the fact that high in the councils OF that
faction are those who posed for years as the
champion of prohibition.
Now as to the result: We gave our readers
that pretty accurately yesterday morning, soon
after the polls opened. About II O'Clock we
went to press with the Enterprise containing
forecast that is almost literally correct.
For Alderman at large Mr.. J. E. Turner
was elected with % votes to spare, 255 to 232
for Kicker. In the first ward Mr.. J. G. Nnapp
was elected over Mr.. Jason B. Smith, just as we
forecasted it yesterday morning early, receiv-

Miss, at Il o'clock; 1t will leave Artesia at D. m. and arrive at Tuscaloosa at D. m., 1t running only between nere and Artesia. This train will be especially beneficial for the reason that it will con- meet with the southbound Mobin and Ohio on the main line in the morning. and will lie over at Artesia until the ar rival of the northbound on tke main line thus giving Tuscaloosa close connection both ways The schedule of the two trains now on. were In addition to this, made five minutes earlier each way.
 It is understood that Montgomery is making an effort to get an accomm odation train between that place and Tuscaloosa. and in case this movement pans out, then Tuscaloosa will have double daily passenger service on the Mobile and Ohio, something that has been desired for a long time.
