Pull for Fitzgerald or pull out.
If you find knocker. knock him ana
charge it to the Enterprise.
The Star favors new county for F1tzger-
aid. Isn't that plain enough?-Ocilla Star.
If YOU haven't registered, then you Will
have to let others do the voting at the county
prmary-the books close today.
Editor Mercer says in the present cam
paign it is Irwinville against the county. NOW
we are listening for some smart Alec to add:
The tail trying to wag the dog.-Ocilla Star.

Clark Howell's future loyalty" rule ap-
pied to the primary would disfranchise large
majority of the colonst voters in the Fitzgerald
precinct. The probability is his strikers here
will be willing to make an exception in this case'
since there is an attempt to persuade the PEN
sioners that they are due to vote against Tx
Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith.

Yes, the Rambler is for prohibition. Now,
bows. won't negro disfranchisement mighty
nigh bring prohibition in Georgia?
When Hoke gets to be governor there will
be something doing within the prohibition line
and, boys, he is going to be governor unless
tree falls on him and bruises him to death. You
little fellows had better get on the band wagon.
-Cordele Rambler.
The most powerful political combination
ever formed in county in wiregrass Georgia is
that now on between Fitzgerald and Oc1la and
the sections interested IN the formation OF a
new county seat, and in preventing the erection
of a costly courthouse at Irwinvill.e-Ocilla Star

Law and order leagues are getting to be
common in Georgia. At Bailey Thomasvlle
and Moultrie, and several other places we can
not at this moment recall, the good and law
abiding people have come together in the or
ganization with intent to discourage the evil
doors. The Broxton Journal advocates one for
Broxton. It's pretty good way to manage 1t
when the authorities for any reason fail and the
wide openers get too bold
Selfshness is the greatest and 'commonest
of all the human weaknesses. It's mother, greed,
points the way and whips it into constant &C
tivity Few men have the power to rise above
1t IN the simple CTduSdCtlOAS VI CVCiy udy HAS'
1t is every mans privilege and his honor
able duty to those dependent upon him to look
first to his own interest, with due regard to
the erect line between duty to himself and justice
to his neigh bors. All too often, the plumb line
is swayed to one side or the other by that sell
fshness that ignores every other mans rights.

Every fair-minded man knows that Fitzger-
ale is entitled to a new county, and that it will
not hurt Irwin if she gets it. Then why should
there be any opposition? Eliminate selfshness,
and there will be none.-Ocilla Star.

Every day some voter inquiries of the
proper candidates for county missioner.
The inquiries are made by people willing to sink
personal preference for the general good. We
have been approached by quite number of COL
onists and other voters who realize the impor-
lance of selecting board of county commission
ers that will not obstruct the county move
ment by attempting to build an expensive court
house at Irwinville. We believe that it is i'm
portant to Fitzgerald, Ocilla and the county at
large to select men who will not involve the
county in any such extravagant expenditure for
the sake of obstructing or interfering with the
overwhelming new county sentiment.
There are FIVE candidates for county COM
missioner already in the field, each of their
nouncemeuts appearing in this paper. 1t
seems to us that the proper policy would be to
select three of these candidates Gas three COM
missioners are to be elected,) aud center on
