This has been Home Coming Week" in
\ Alabama and thousands of native born Alabam-
ians have embraced the opportunity of treadlng
once more their native heart and exchanging
greetings with those dear by the ties of blood
an friendship.
Ample notice has been given to citizens and
property owners regarding the numbering of
houses as prerequisite to the establishment OF
city free delivery, and the city will now proba-
bly, attend to the matter for those who further
procrastinate in the matter and cause the num-
bering to be done at the householder's expense
With last Fridays issue Col Luther
Roberts retires as editor of the Lavonia Times
and is succeeded by Mr.. Rush Burton, whose
sa1utatory and first editorials indicate an ability
capable of maintaining the present high charac-
ter of the Times editorial department. The
Enterprise heartily welcomes brother Burton to
the ranks.
The unanimity with which the representa-
tive democracy of Georgia gave greeting to the
Nebraska statesman upon his visit to Atlanta
this week gives evidence of the strong hold ne
has on the unterri6ed in this locality. That

than ever to pilot the hosts of democracy to VIC
tory in 1908 none will deny.
We have this day received from Clerk Mar
Gus Luke Jr. copy of grand jury present
ments delivered to him T b u s a of last
week with recommendation that they be pub
ished in the Enterprise and other papers. We
can not understand why Clerk Luke held the
papers ten days that might have appeared in
the Enterprise of week ago. We will pub
1ish the presentments in our Tuesdays issue.
We wish to direct the attention of our read
ers, especially the farmer readers to the excel
lent article from Louisiana paper published
elsewhere in this issue under the caption Dl'
versifcation Needed" The ravages of the boil
weevi1 seems to have inspired hearticle but the
arguments for diversifcation of crops are strong
ly applicable regardless OF the bollweevil. The
southern farmer is in position to supply pract-
ically all his needs thus rendering him absolute
ly independent of the rest of the world. Not
only may he become INDEPENDENT, but has
great advantage of having the rest of the
VOrld DEPENDENT upon him for the great
southern staple. But all this advantage is
