That was just the way we felt about Clark's

words into his mouth, we could not have i'm

That Mr. Howels friends were dissapont-

Much to Off ST prise, we note that Hevells

Editor Jesse Mercer has been crying aloud
for long lille for South Georgia gubernator-

lie that John Es'i is in the race. That's not
surprising Greensboro Journal.
Yes Editor Mercer realizes that and more.
We are the greatest realizer that is. We have
wanted to see South Georgia's rights recognized
and we do not know single South Georgia man
that we would prefer to J. Holly Estlll. He IS
our South Georgia candidate. Yes we want to
see South Georgia man 10 the gubernatorial

is an accomplished fact, but there are other

Bic representative.
The Enterprise gladly welcomes the trash
cart 1t means a cleaner Fitzgerald. 1t means
healthier Fitzgerald and decidedly more tidy
I Fitzgerald. The Enterprise stands for all of
these. We heartily commend the City Council
From now until next October let SANITATION be
the watchword Every clouset should be
thoroughly cleaned once in every "a hours and
those in the business center twice in every "a
hours. Such scavepger service augmented by
tt e trash cart means great deal for our city. -
In another column is the announcement (by
his many frends) of John D, Paulk for the
office of state senator. Mr. Paulk is one OF the
county's foremost young men, He served five
consecutive terms as clerk of the Superior
Court and gave up the place voluntarily. He
is very strong with the people of this county
and if he concludes to make the as indicated
by the announcement of his friends, many of his
old time friends will rally to his support. He
is a thorough, capable, and high toned citizen
and would make the district splendid repre-
sentative in the upper branch of the legislature.
The Enterprise has no truer friend in the
county.
'We want an independent paper" We
want an editor who is not afraid to speak out"
How often do we hear the above remark. This
independent" business simply amounts to this:
If you pitch ia and abuse some one else it is all
right, but touch No. 1 with ten foot pole and he
is up and coming. Ridicule that mans religion
gu his political views, but dou't dare to touch
mine unless it is to endorse them. How we all
like to see the paper abuse our neighber, but
when be touches us he is gol darn fool
Eastman Times Journal
Yes, brother, the really independent editor
is Independent of criticism and independence
the man who doesn't like it.
The newspaper man WHO'S in business to
make money and 10 make friends can not poss1-
bly, do his full duty to the public, aud adhere
strictly to that policy. There are lot of good
people who believe that they have a right to
make money and friends publishing news
paper, and We grant that they have, but we ale
WAYS thought, at the same time, that there was
rule of duty to the public" that requires, very
often the sacrifice of both. We sometimes
fear, however, that we are mistaken for while
the public concience may approve certainly
there is no commensurate pecuniary reward.
