lawyers to Confer.

dele and found the attorneys of that county
practically unanimous on the question of a new
circuit,an without difficulty they agreed on the
counties named in Tuesdays Enterprise, tol
wit: Crisp. Turner, Tiff, Irwin, Coffee and
Wilcox.
1t was determined to cali meeting of the
bar of the six counties mentioned to meet at Fitz-
gerald on the 25th. inst. as had been suggested
at the Cordele meeting The local bar will pre-
pare to entertain the visiting attorneys between
trains on that day. The trains will arrive from
$50 to 1920, the meeting will be held at p. M,
which will give two hours for luncheon at one OF
the hotels of the city.
So far as has been ascertained, there is not
one partical of opposition to the new scheme
within the territory named and it is not proba-
bic there will be any from the outside since no
one will be effected except the solicitors general
of the different circuits and they are usually big
enough, broad enough and polite enough not toI
permit their personal interest to influence to IN
terfere with any measure or scheme so just and
reasonable.
The Enterprise shall be glad to see the
visiting attorneys here on the 25th. and we be-
speak for each of them kindly welcome

There is a suggestion, at least definite
proposition, to organize here a live stock compa-
nv, with ptal of $10O,000, to handle mules
and horses The company will probably be
organized the coming summer, and large stone
stables, to be utilized as headquarters, erected
on the three lots now occupied by Luke and
Clements stables.
With such men as Marcus Luke, R. b
Fletcher, r. v Handley and J. c. Boney and
others, the business would be a tremendous
success.
The stock firms here now handle fifty orI
sixty thousand dollars worth of mules and
horses and the new company would be organized
with view to buying at such times and in such
quantities would give large profit over the
prices now paid by local dealers and sell in car
load lots to South Georgia and Florida markets.
The scheme is a feasible one, there is ample
capital and capable men to handle the business.
By all means we want to see the company
organized
The young man of the Leader devotes con-
siderable space to the bids for the city printing.
How newspaper can afford to do work tor the
CITY without charge seems to be beyond his Ken,
or seems to be. This is not the first time the
Enterprise has done the work for nothing. We
have devoted our best efforts for six years IN
the most faithful endeavors for the city without
rewad, or the hope thereof, except such reward
as comes from the confidence and esteem OF the
most worthy and the decent people of the COM
munity. Only last summer we spent a thous-
and dollars worth of time and money in single
instance-that of the new county hght-and
was refused by the council money that we
actually paid out for legal assistance and hund-
reds for other expenses. This same council
might have been glad of an excuse for adopting,
as city organ, some paper that is willing to
sell its independence for the favor.
It is matter of history that our tickets for
mayor and aldermen have been generally sue
cesflu, and it would be easy by a subservlent
policy to have been absoutly independent and
confident in any competition before that body, |
but we prefer not to crook the supple hinges
of the knee It would destroy power for
useful influence in the city government to be
put under the least obligation to any of them.
Some of our warmest personal friends are on the
CITY council, but we would not hesitate an in
stant should it become necessary, to cr1tlc1se
any act of any of them or all of them. AS
reasonable, honorable men they ought not to
expect and probably do not expect anything
else at our hands.
There is nothing remarkable or unusualor
