Strange Bed Fellows.

Somebody said somewhere some time ago
that politics make strange bed fellows" If
anybody had told the editor of this paper
year ago, that he would oppose the candidacy
of B. E. Wilcox or J. B. D. Paulk, we would have
laughed at the suggestion, but we ARE just the
same with all the earnestness of our nature.
Let's see why. Certainly, it would be pleasant
work personally to advocate the candidacy of
either. On our list of friends, they are both
near the top, friends of the kind we know how
to esteem. There's reason, and but one that
we know of. 1t is simply this, have put
aside personal feelings for Fitzgeralds best
interest.
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1906-04-17

To bring success out of the situation, how
ever, intelligent, united and patriotic action is
necessary. We must stand by our guns. We
can not take the candidates put out by the enemy.
Let's take our own candidates and push stead
lily forward to success We ought to make 1t
practically unanimous in this prescinct for Hen
erson and Dorminy.
The Enterprise is for the New County, if
our best friends have to be sacrificed to secure
it.
Hon. B. E.. Wilcox has announced for re.
election TO the legislature.
We do oppose and shall oppose his candidacy
with all of the zeal of which we capable. In
doing so we are actuated by the single motive
our duty to Fitzgerald.
We find it distastful to oppose a man
like Ras Wilcox, he has been personal
friend and our political ally from the date of
our acquaintance. He is much better man
than some of those, who are not friendly to him,
credit him with being, man of strong convict
ions and phenomenal energy, who finds plenty to
do that makes him enemies and keeps them so.
He is not perfect man however, and therefore
not infallible. He has made a mistake in his
announcement for the legislature. In doing so
he simply fell victim TO human weakness,
personal ambition to hold Office. He has allow
ed himself imposed on by people who have been
anything but friendly to him, in politics
especially and this is where il touches US, BY
PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING INDUSTRI-
OUSLY AGAINST FITZGERALD'S BEST
INTEREST, by PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO
OTHER MOTIVE THAN TO DESTROY
OUR CHANCES FOR A NEW COUNTY.
In opposing Mr.. Wilcox in this campaign,
weshall treat him ABSOLUTELY fairly. We wouldn't
know how to be unfair to man we esteem so
highly.
We believe as honestly as we believe any
thing, that it is our duty, and the duty OF
the community and county to elect DR.. e. }.
Dorminy, and we believe that they will do it by
large majority. If you want to know our
reason for it, read this paper.

Hon. B. E. Wilcox in his published card

Hon. B. E.. Wilcox in his published card
states that he approached DR.. Dorminy and
stated to him, II hope to pass my high liscense
bill during the first ten days of the next session
of the next legislature. Then expect to put
through Immediately thereafter. the New Coun.
ty bill and if do both and you are elected to
succeed me, can we depend upon you to push
the high license bill into the New County"
He says that the doctor said to him, l will see
YOU later about that matter"
DR.. Dorminy tells the Enterprise that the
conversation he had with Mr.. Wilcox on the
subject, was interrupted by third party, that
he has never felt that it was his duty to go to
Mr. Wilcox and make any explanation. He is
not running as representative of the New Coun.
tv, but he is candidate to represent Irwin
County, that Mr.. Wilcox was elected on the
high 1iscense issue, and further states that he
will certainly put no obstacles in his way nor try
to undo any work that he does on that line. He
authorizes us to say that he has no objections to
offer to the high liscense measure introduced by
Mr.. Wilcox, which he promises to pass at the
approaching summer session, and that if any
body is depending on him to undo the work that
thew are mistaken ia him. He says that he is
perfectly willing for Mr.. Wilcox to fix that, that
it is his right and his duty, since he was elected
on that issue.
AS to what will be done in the new county
when created, he has no right to say, as he is
not running as representative of the New
County, but as representative OF Irwin County.
Everybody who knows DR.. Ed. Dorminy,
knows that what he says may be depended on
There is no more honorable or trust worthy
man in the county.
Saturday was record day in Fitzgerald,
not ONLY in political matters but in a commercial
wav. The retail trade was immense and kept
up until midnight. One store forced to
close on account of the Sunday hour and sold
fourteen dollars worth of dry goods while clos
ing up" The Empire store broke the record
with more than 81, 10000 trade, and hit err
rainin,"
We have but one brother and we are proud
of him. but if he was to get in to politics and we
knew he was backed up by the or ovid that pulled
Ras Wilcox into this campaign, we would vote
against him. Yes Ras, its easy to vote against
YOU on this proposition, altho we never have done
so before.
No, No Skin flint, that puny Irwinville push
can't ram any sort of candidate down our throat.

BECOMES FIXTURE AT ECKsTElN'S
W. G. Alvin Takes Vacant Position
of Pharmacist.

Friends of w. G.. Alvin of this city
will be pleased to learn that he has
decided to accept an offer made him by
Andrew j. Eckstein and will become a
permanent fixture in the Pioneer Drug
Store. Mr.. Alvin has had under con-
sideration number of offers and has
been on the point Of accepting one Of
them but this would compel him to
leave the city and having property and
other interests herehe was not disposed
to leave unless it was necessary.
The proposition from Mr.. Eckstein,
came as a relief to him and his friends.
and makes it certain that he will be a
part Of the community. When seen at
his new place of business Mr.. Alvin
appeared to be pleased to be back
again in the harness and is pleased to
see his former friends drop in and say
hello. He and Mr.. Eckstein should be
a good pair to draw to and business
at the Pioneer Drug Store should re-
ceive new life by reason of this new
move.

Eckstein was appointed to see that he
lived up to the conditions of the parole,
one OF which was that he should keep
sober and become useful citizen of
the place. The temptation of the sa-
loon was too much for him, however
and he fell, was admonished to keep
straight but continued to make him
self nuisance to such an extent that
1t was necessary to have the deputy
warden take him back to the reforma-
tory where he will be compelled to
serve out the entire time of his SEN
tence.
He was returned to the reformotory
Monday. He is but nineteen years of
age and will be twenty-five when al
lowed to leave confinement again. 1t
is sad condition for a young man
just, entering upon the estate of man

For Alderman.

Capt. j. P. Graft will oppose Her
man Nagel for the place Of alderman
from the first ward in the election that
is to soon take place and the friends
of Mr.. Graft are quite confident he
will win out. Two years ago he was a
candidate at the caucus for the nomi-

ballot and lost the place on the second
by one vote.
Alderman Nagels term of Office ex-
pires this year and it will be to sue
coed him that Mr.. Graft is being urged
to make the canvas by his friends.
There is no particular issue up upon
which to make a fight except that it is
felt that change in officials will not
be to the detriment of the ward and i,
may be of much benefit.
Mr.. Graft is a young andprogressive
business man and we'll qualified tc
make a good representative of the
people of his ward. He has the repu
tation of saying what he thinks anl
sticking to it, and that is sometime
that is a recommendation to any mai
for public office of trust, and M
doubt if he is elected he will fill th,
office with credit to himself and hi

day Night in Clubhouse.

Fearing death at the hands of her
husband Mrs. Otto Pfeifer drank five
big swallows of muriatic acid Sunday
morning evidently hoping that the re-
lief she would get from death in that
manner would be more merciful than
the prospect that life offered with
drunken and dissolute husband.
Saturday it appears that Otto PEI
Ter came to what he called his home in
condition worse than brute and
proceeded to make trouble. He wan
ted supper and there was nothing in
the house to eat and no money with
which to get anything. His wife set
the table and placed for him some
water with salt in it. This enraged
him and he threatened to kill the en-
tire family consisting of his wife and
two children.
The trouble grew from bad to worse
until in fear that she would be MUIR
dered the unfortunate wife was COM
PEELED to seek shelter for the balance
of the night in an clubhouse. During
the night shots were heard in tn at
vicinity and whether or not they en-
tered into the fracas is not known but
when Sunday morning dawned and the
wife had cut sufficient wood to make a
fire she returned to her hungry chill
dren but still found no sympathy in
her husband. There was nothing in
the house to eat and, worse than desti
tute and forsaken, the unfortunate
woman decided to end her misery by
drinking a quantity of muriatic aciC
that was in the house.
Realizing what she had done and the
consequences of the act the husband
compelled her to drink quantity O
salt water and sent for neighbOrs who
came in time to get doctor, who
called for milk, lard and other com

TRACY GIRLS WIN AT BASKET BALL
New UIm Team Was Not Heavy
Enough For Opponents.

A team of basket ball players made
up OF the girls who are attending the
high school in this city were in Tracy
Friday evening and played a team
from the school in that city and were
defeated by a score of II to IA, which
would seem to indicate that the young
ladies from this place were doing
pretty we'll when it is taken into con-
sideration that they were on an aver
age much lighter and much younger
than the Tracy girls. They had good
time and enjoyed the outing SO that
the defeat was not felt so BADLY.
In speaking in anticipation Of the
game the Tracy Herald has the follow
ing facetious article, which is interest
ing from the way it is written when it
is understood that the writer of it does
not believe in that sort of thing: AS
soon as they were sure of the game
they at once resolved to engage the
services of Prof. Harold Fish. who it
is said successfully coached and trained
the football team of yarmouth College
for two seasons. The Prof. gave them
great encouragement. But he told
them that in order to attain high skill
and physical endurance sufficient to
defeat the New Ulm team it would re-
| quire at least ten days of severe and
arduous physical training, and told
them if they would solemnly pledge
themselves to follow his directions for
ten days he would guarantee that the
girls Of New Ulm would return to their
| homes with their heretofore victorious
banner trailing in the dust. Each Of
the girls crossed their hearts, black
and blue, and took the vow. Accord
ingly they pledged themselves to aban-
don the wearing Of corsets, the use of
beer and all spirituous beverages. COT
fee and tea, caramels, cigaretts, pea
nut candy, pie, cake, pickles, starch,

would observe the most rigid rules

Another Illustration.

Another illustration Of that sort of
justice which is the cause of a feeling
of disrespect for some of the courts
comes from the west. A few weeks ago
two men charged with fencing in and
appropri ating to their own use a tract
of public land thirty-fve miles wide
and seventy-fiye miles long, were fined
$500 each by a federal judge. A week
ago a private soldier in the regular
army was brought before the same
Judge on the charge. of having STOLEN
a bugle from Uncle Sam S store ho,1se
Like the land thieves, the private
soldier entered plea Of guilty. IA
was fined 81 900, OF. 500 more than tn,

land. OF course the land thieves wer,

The case is one that calls for the
