Ex.Candidate Esti1 says that Hoke Smiths
victory was due to cataclysm, whatever that
mean. It must be something terrific.

The Courier-Dispatch, published at Dublin
is one of the finest weeklies in the South. Its
typographical excellence is unequal in the state.
That whirlwind was no bigger than mans
hand when it first came into sight, but its Hight
was swifter than thought and more destructive
than a California earthquake. -Dublin Courier
Dispatch.
''Pollv" Pendleton, as the Hon. Tom dubbed
him, appeared to other people more like an eagle
during the campaign. Augusta Chronicle.
With the loss of few tail feathers the Gag
lie is all right.
The Enterprise hopes the farmers will hold
their cotton wherever it is possible to do so and
meet their debts, for 10c per pound. Even with
large crop they ought to get 10c and II the
crop happens to be little short they can get
much more.
Jess Mercer is running the kind of race
that we/1ke to see man run. He fought tor
his candidates just the same as if he didn't want
anything himself. Jess is thoroughly compe'
tent man. and we do hope that he will be elect
ed.-Cordele Rambler.

We notice that nearly all of our weekly ex-
changes are endorsing Jess Mercer for railroad
Dor m
some time back. Jess Mercer is man of abill-
~ and is honest 1t will take strong man to
beat him.-Corde1e Rambler.
Hon. Chas. S. Northen secretary of the
state senate is visiting Fitzgerald and this Sec
ton of the state. He finds hearty welcome in
Ben Hill county in the creation of which he rem
dered valuable assistance, rendered at an oper-
tune time. AS secretary of the senate, he was
in position to not only make timely suggestions
but he was willing at all times to do any thing
he possibly could for the new county bill.

Editor Mercer is still running for railroad
commissioner, whether he is a railroad man or
not. He would make good commissioner, too.
Dublin Times.
Editor Mercer is as much of railroad man
as any candidate who has been mentioned for
the Office, and has had eight years of experience,
such experience in railroad business as is con-
templated by the law probably more actual ex-
perience than any man on the present commits
sion.
Editor Mercer says he would not pay ten
dollars in cash for the Office of Railroad Commits
sioner, We can inform him at the beginning
that much smaller Offices in Georgia have been
costing great deal larger price.-Moultrie OBJ
server.
What of it? We are not chronic. Editor
Mercer has plenty to do that is useful pleasant
and profitable. We are going to give our friends
an opportunity and, if they fail to land us, we
shall pursue the even tenor of our way as Sc
renely as though nothing had happened.

]. E. Mercer, editor of the Fitzgerald Emf
erprise and one of the best men connected with
the Georgia press, is out for Railroad Commits
sioner. It seems that the term OF one of the
Commissioners will expire next year and as no
provision was made to select successor at the
primary next week, the race will probably be free
for ali in the regular election. Editor Mercer
Is specially fitted for the place of Commission
er and we believe that if the people OF Georgia
will select him, he will be great addition to that
body.-Lyons Progress.
