Fitzgerald enterprise., 1906-11-17

The dread OF the invasion of the United
States by President Castro, of Venezuela. is
somewhat relieved-Castro is reported dead.
The Enterprise wants to see all our people
frugal and well-to-do. Open bank account,
keep busy at something useful, and the rest will
follow.
Sufficient houses to shelter those who de-
sire to make Fitzgerald their home is the clty's
CRYING need-two hundred houses could be ten
anted within ten days.
Chicago, which now has less than two
million people must have a million and half
more before another saloon can get license.
An ordinance passed some time ago by the city
council limits the number of saloons to those
already licensed until such time as the propor-
ton of saloons to population shall be one saloon
to everv five hundred inhabitants. If this or
dnance is not repealed, and if its provisions are
enforced. Chicago will have to worry along with
it's present supply of drinking places for several
wears. But those are two big 1fs."
The Enterprise has no fight to make on the
negro in his place. in fact it will as vaantly op-
pose any encroachment upon his rights as
though he possessed white skin instead OF
black one In his place the negro IS all right
but out of it he is all wrong. Being
~sociallv inferior to the white race the
negro is emphatcally and undebatably OUT
OF PLACE located next door to white resi-
dent either as lessee or property owner in the
white residential section of any city or town.
It was mistake when the negro was allowed to
become an owner of reaestate in Fitzgerald in
anv but the section allotted him and the Enter
prise has taken up the work of correcting this
serious blunder by gradually, but SURELY,
eliminating the negro as resident IN any out
his allotted quarters in the CITY,
The negro may not be arbitrarily d1sposs
essed of his legal holdings, but pressure may be
brought to bear which will clearly indicate the
advisabi1ity of his disposing of present holdings
when reasonable opportunity offers and to dis.
courage their again investing OUT OF
PLACE.
AS this WHITE MANS policy becomes
generally accepted by the white citizens of
Fitzgerald, no white man will care to violate it's
tenets by offering for sale to negro any piece
of rea1estate within the prescribed limits.
F1tzgera1 must be WHITE as we'll as
GREAT!
The Dublin Times offers the following
very sensible advice concerning the proper
storeing of cotton being held for the rise that is
generally believed to be inevitable:
Indications are that those who have cotton
now are holding for what is believed to be an in
evitable rise. The opinion is daily growing
stronger that the crop has been so badly dam
aged by untoward conditions that it will not be
as large as indicated some weeks ago and hence
the man who possesses the actual staple and is
able to hold awhile will benefit.
Those who are now making up their minds
to hold their cotton for better prices and are
determined to do so, may have to wait for few
weeks to get their prices. In the meantime the
cotton held must be safeguarded from the de-
structve influence of the weather. 1t will not
pay any man to hold his cotton, if the staple is
to be ba1ed and then thrown out in the weather
without any protection from rain, and sunshine.
A bale of cotton left lying on the wet ground
will injure the staple rapidly and soon cause
considerable portion of the fibre to be unfit for
marketing. Don't allow cotton to lie out in the
weather. if you cannot put it under shelter sell
it at once"
If everybody believed that Fitzgerald was
going to be city twice it's present population
within very short while, and that real estate
was much too cheap at the present prices, and
