Id FOR SMITH AT BROXTON.

Dung man stated to the Editor OF the Enter.
rise that his booming little town was practically
unit for Hoke Smith. II do not believe Howell
would get more than one vote if the primary oc-
cured tomorrow. Later in the day we met Mr..
IT. w. Bvins who has been at Broxton consider
able of the time lately and he said he did not
think there were more than two Howell men in
the community Of course, it is probable that
neither of the gentlemen quoted have talked
with all the citizens of the town on the subject
and that there are other Howell men at Broxton,
but what was said Indicates that there is no
great demand for him in that quarter.

This is the right kind Of weather for c1ean'

Of course those candidates who do not get
any encoura gm ent from the straw votes can not
see any good in them.
The balance of the aspirants are expected
to make their announcement about court week.
or between now and that time.

One of the several good things the council
has been guilty of doing recently IS setting
shade trees on our broad streets. Generations
to come will call them blessed.

If you are a man go to the Central Metho-
dist Church at 8 P. M. Sunday and find out
what kind of man you are. 1t will cost you
nothing to get the information, and may do you
good.
Brother Jno. B. Harvard is getting out a
clever little paper at Cochran. The Courier is
just eight weeks old, but is much brighter and
stronger than some eight year-year-olds that
come to our table.
Editor Mercer of Fitzgerald is trying to
make Editor-- - of Triton -
because he said Hokes reception didn't amount
to hilarious, rough-house ovatlon.-Nashv1lle
Herald.
We did not try to make Editor - any
thing. In publishing a letter from the Mayor OF
1 Triton we left blank some names for good reas-
ons
Thrice honored is the man who is esteemed
by his worthy neighbors for the enemies he has
made.
The Dublin Times says:
sid Lewis set high standard of journal
ism for his successor on the sparta 1SnmaeHtS
to attain to- Ever ready to defend the right,
Mr.. Lewis merciessly exposed frauds; aud 1t
may truly be said that he was hated with
perfect hatred" by those whose schemes and
duplicity he unmasked."
THE drink bill of the United States is
81, 41O, 1885, 7O2. All the corn wheat, rye, oats,
barley buckwheat and potatoes put together
will not pay it.
The liquor traffic costs more each year
than our whole civil service, our army, navy and
congress- the river, harbor and pension bills; all
we pay for local government all National, State
and County debts, and all the schools in the
country. In fact this government pays more
for liquor than for every function of every kind
of government.'-The New York Tribune.
But amt it pity Editor Mercer of Fitzger-
aid can't join in and help fight Tom Watson
this year-Nashville Herald.
Why fight Tom Watson this year? We
fought him every year that he fought demo-
crazy. All the time we were fighting him we
have known he would be good man inside our
party. There is no need to fight Tom
Watson at this time but when he was an actual
menace to the Democratic party we fought him
and Editor Sweat's candidate for Governor
stood by him and gave him more assistance than
any man in the state.
