81 There is more to do and at better wages
than ever before in the history of the country
and there are more Migrants.
Of our weekly exchanges, the Georgia Free
Lance and the Mou1trie Observer tie for the
blue ribbon on fourth of July editions.
The vagrancy question offers an opportunity
for some bright young legislator to make rep
utation. The Calvin law needs something to
make it CO.
Rev. ]. R. Gum at the Methodist Church
Sunday night preached unusually strong SER
mon from the subject "As man thinketh in his
4 heart so is he."
The vagrant is usually viscious and trouble
some citizen. He not only refuses to work, but
he is the source of the greater part of the ex-
pense of the criminal courts.

on the sick list and for the time the responsible
tiles of that publication on the hands OF his
son Wallace. Wallace will not disappolnt his

The Mosher resolution adoped by the coun-
Gil last night is audacous of principal, faulty as
4 to facts and puerile in policy. There is not
room enough in today's Enterprise for what we
want to say about it, but we will get out another
paper about Thursday.
Editor Mercer saws the Fitzgerald Enter
prise is out of politics. This does not mean
that he has given up Hoke Smith as bad job,
but that he thinks there is more for Fitzgerald
! in the creation of new county there. And Ed
itor Mercer is right.-Tifton Ggzette.
No living man has ever witnessed times like
. these and no man can more than guess what the
extent of our industrial advancement will be.
Certainly the prospect is grand, but there is
3 lie menace. Labor is necessary and our labor
conditions are without precedent in the history
of America. Will the legislature take hold OF
the matter.
The preacher said Sunday that the thought
leads to the act that acts create habit, that hab-
its form character and that character points to
the destiny of every man. 1t is not true be-
cause the preacher said it, but the preacher said
1t because IT is true. ne uSSu INC OCoutAAuA

with the great Importance of clean thought inn

We invite the attention of the good ladies of
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union to a
resolution, by Alderman Mosher, passed by the
City Council last night. We ask them in justice
to the editor of the Enterprise to carefully read
and ponder this resolution in connection with
resolution offered by this same fellow a few
months ago at which time he was made to ap'
pear as a champion and friend of the w. c. T.
U. 1t is all so fresh in the memory of the local
readers eff the Enterprise many of them will be
anxious to read this extraordinary paper. We
NAV have more to say on the subject in later
issue.
The preacher told us Sunday what he
thought about bad books, dirty literature, VIC
ious novels We are glad he did for the aver
age man, busy with the affairs of every day
life has not the time to think out and apply
these questions to the things that are going on
around him every day. They need to be re-
minded from the pulpit or from the press that
what the children around us read will largely
influence the men and women that soon will take
our place in affairs, public and private Good
books are as potent in character making as bad
books are effective in character destroying.
Give the children good books. Discourage the
ar;bnk6r 81 cheap and vicious literature.
