4 I'd, Merritt
4 Those who said that Clark Howell would
Mer meet Hoke Smith in Joint debate after the
%lumbus meeting, now feel very much like the
~ the calf ran over.-Dublin Courier Dispatch
Clark probably feels like the calf the boy
I'd over by this time.
81 The anti-sa1oon men held an important
Seeting Tuesday afternoon. Representative
Ati-saoon men were present from all parts OF
s county and business of portance was trans
ted. We predict that it was the entering
edge that will result in strict prohibition in
win county within few months.
1 We suggest that the next time Hoke Smith
les to Fitzgerald he appoint an official census
sker so that there shall be no blood shed over
Sle size of the crowd. -Moultrie Observer.
We had the census taker alright, he was not
ppointed by Hoke Smith, and cannot be said to
I've been official the trouble about his count
!. that nobody believes it. He is too lazy to get
st of the way when he sees decent man COM
no jostled his lousy carcass.
The beef Barons, alias the pork packers,
las the meat trust, who have literally squeezed
sillions out of the consumers of meat nine
III of ten of them poor people, were few weeks
10 the envy of the commercial world, even
Rockefeller was becoming envious of their wealth
Id power; now they are literally stencil IN
il the nostrils of the world. They have there
AiIlions it's true, though not so many OF them.
Lii they have lost not only in the esteem OF the
eople, they are the cynosure of the curious and
ae curiously rich, and they have lost in large
Ieasure their power to become richer
Ia another column of the Enterprise appears
ze announcement of John Henry Dorminy, one
h the best known of the county's young c1t1.
ms. AS he states in his announcement he has
sent his life in this county and everybody
srees the county is much better off for that
Ict. He is honest industrious, upright and
raight forward in business dealings. He has
ready attained to that success older men
'ould be proud of. He is fully capable of
erformng the duties of the Office he seeks,
id enough voters of the county understand his
to make him strong factor in the
ice against any and all opponents.

The dog nuisance as it exists in Fitzgerald
the results of loose jointed, nerveless, ad-
Illustration of wise ordinance. Various vot-
IS own dogs and various officials have
st the nerve to enforce tbs ordinance providing
ire the annual tax of one dollar. We dare say
ere is no community in the state afflicted
It'll SO many of the flea breeding pests
We shall have something to say on the sub
ct in future issue.
On the subject the Atlanta News says;
But more important to the city authorities
ian these mere personal considerations IS the
ct that the courts in several states of the
Mon have passed upon the responsibility of
le city for damages of any kind done by dogs
lat are permitted to run at large in its streets.
A person bitten by such a dog may sue the
ty and recover damages in the discretion OF
le court and jury. The value of property des-
Dyed by such dog, as flowers, fowls, cloth
g, ETC., NAV be recovered in a damage suit
yainst the city.
The people own the streets and their rights
pom them are to safe and comfortable passage,
neither on foot or in vehicles. It is not salts
ction of these rights to allow loose and prob
vicious dogs to run upon them any more
it would be to allow mad bulls, wild wolves,
rattlesnakes go uncaged upon them.
The public d enand for the stoppage of this
" nuisance is notable enough, thro appeals
ade to the News and we hope the city council
us no longer ignore it.
