Fitzgerald enterprise., 1906-10-02


q MUST LOOK DowNoN THE HATE OF THOSE BELOW" 3
Atlanta is bound to be prepared for the
next riot Her newspapers talk about the mill
tary company and an armory like they were
things to be desired.
The Thomasvi11e Times Enterprises is good
and strong for any cause it happens to espouse.
Its editorial on the saloon phase of the Atlanta
episode is one Of the best we have seen
The nude picture evil is one of long standing
but is one of the ug1iest features of civllza-
tion The Atlanta riots and the causes that led
up to il will have great influence in correcting
the evil.
All the good things seem to be coming our
way. We are tickled to death at the advance IN
the cotton market. 1t means millions to the
South, an easier money market right at the time
! it is most needed.
& An Atlanta paper tells us how out-of-town
bottle houses are having harvest of dollars.
The writer did not say anything about the out
ars for many years.
Asa Judge David M Roberts is making an ag-
9ressve fight for a place on the bench OF the
appelate court. The Oconee circuit will give
him a rousing vote and his friends in many
counties of the state promise him majority.
Maine correct. The main question is
whether our main street was named for the
sthe state of Maine or whether it gets its name
from beng the main street. The numbering
and nameing force have spelled it with the e".
The probability is the street was not named
from the far northeastern state but that it was
named M-a.i-n and the lettering will have 10 be
Changed.
Mr. w. B. White, of the 1171 Dist, Wilcox
County embraced in the New County of Ben
Hill was in the city last week and interviewed
the Enterprise on the question of candidate
for tax collector. We are not familiar with Mr..
Whites qualifications or worthiness, although
he impressed us favorab1y, but certain 1t IS
that that section of the county is entitled to
and must have recognition in the matter OF select"
ing new county officers. One of the county
commissioners should be taken from
the Wilcox section and we think one of the
tax officers at least altho it is quite likely there
will be several candidates for all the Offices.
OF course, the question will be settled at the
polls, but the Enterprise favors distribution OF
the new county officers so as not to discriminate
against any section.
Tomorrow marks epoch in the history of
the Fitzgera1 ~eelony, and of-Irwin county, and
ashers into Existence new born county in pro-
gressiye south Georgia.
Ben Hill County, whose ratification by an
Overwhelming majority at the polls tomorrow is
ali but assured, makes her advent under most
suspicious circumstances, endowed as BIRTH
right with the honored name of one of Georgla's
most i11ustrious sons, and rich in natural re-
sources, she at once assumes her rightful place
high up in the list of her one hundred and forty
five sister counties.
Not alone must her material rating and
progress engage our attention, but Ben Hill
county must be first class in every respect,good
people, good schools, good morals, good officers,
good roads-we've got the good soil and good
health. God has not blessed another land with
more gracious favors.
Let,every good citizen make it his business,
as it is his duty to set ben Hill pace" that
1ilI be the admiration of the good old state OF
