The period of graft is being supplanted by
an era of reform.
Nothing criminal, just simple error of
Judgment with Mr.. Crenshaw.
The Montgomery Monitor is not gutter.
It is "aein" the new administration. 1t talks up
for Crenshaw.
Don't be a croaker and wilmer. If things
are not to YOUR liking don't spend valuable time
in useless wai1ings, but get busy with those
God-given talents remedying con ditions.

That Fitzgerald needs new county, is not
denied by any one, and we hope to see large
{ majority favoring the amendment polled in Iur-
ner county at the October election. In fact, we
feel quite sure that the people will make no mis-
take by ratifying the amendment to the const1
tuition, Creating Ben Hill County.-Turner Co.
Banner.
Mr.. D. w. M. Whitley will probably be in

as soon as the amendment is ratified.
Little Wiley" as he is popularity called by
his friends, comes about as near knowing every
body in the county as any man in it, and the
thing that stands him in hand at this time is the
fact that every body that knows him likes him.
He is quite capable and will make satisfactory
officer if he is elected clerk.
Dawson has curfew law. The law is
good thing even if the authorities occasionally
forget to enforce it.
The ordinance says:
From and after the passage of this ordl-
nance women, and children under sixteen years
of age, who are unemployed in any way to detaln
them shall not be allowed the public streets OF
Dawson after O'Clock p. m. Any one violating
the ordinance shall be punished as prescribed in
section 1856 of the city CODE"

Weheart1y indorse the following from the
Fitzgerald Enterprise about our friend and for
4 mer townsman, Mr.. A. B. Cook: THE selection
of Mr.. Ansel B. Cook as a member of the State
Democratic Executive Committee is an honor
well placed. Mr.. Cook is not only loyal, Sim
cere party man, but he takes an active interest
in politics and his good judgement and conserva-
tism will strengthen the State Committee. y

It seems that when they know Cook best
they esteem him most Mr.. Cook is from Mil
! ledgeville.
AS soon as Ben Hill county is ratified we
will ask Mr.. F. ]. Clark of the democratic ex-
ecutive committee to invite conference at Fitz-
gerald with the committeeman from the three
Wilcox districts and the Irwin districts inc1ud-
ed in Ben Hill with view to organizing the par
ty in the new county.
While we favor and shall insist on the white
primary rule in selecting all county and munich
pal candidates, it is necessary to organize the
democratic party in the county as it is in every
county in the state on strict party lines and in
conformity with strict party rules.
We take off our hat to Jesse Mercer of the
Fitzgerald Enterprise. When Hon. Hoke Smith
suggested the name of Hon. S. G. McLendon
for railroad commissioner and the democratic
party nominated him, in Macon, Mr.. Mercer
came down in his favor. The Searchlight
would rather see Mr.. Mercer in that position
than any other man.-Poulan Searchlght
We feel like taking our hat off to Editor Pei
ham, but we are we'll pleased 1.-THE presen tstat-
us of the railroad commissioner race. AS sup
porter of Mr.. Smith, we felt it was our duty to
hold up his hands, to contribute what we could
to the carrying out of his reforms We
thought it would be sorry support of the
newregime to interpose our personal aspirations
where If might interfere with the carrying out
Of the well defined plans in vital matter. Real
