Tuesday, April u, 1906.
PURELY POLITICAL

Egely to politics, not merely Tor the 1un we
s i out of it but because politics in some OF its
bases is akin to business and this is business
hat touches Fitzgerald's deepest interest
The Douglas Enterprise was simply immense
5. last week. It carried more than five pages OF
'vertising.
Some of our exchange carry as much as
twenty announcements for county office. That
beats us, some quite.
The voters at the ballot box one week from
tomorrow will set it all right and we will all abide
the result wondering why we were ever excited
aboutit.
With J. A. j. Henderson in the senate, and
f. !. Dorminy in the house, we will be as well
represented in the legislature as any county ID
Georgia.
We think pretty we'll of Ras Wilcox, per-
soualv. but we would not vote for our brother II
he was put out by the crowd that pursuaded Mr..
Wilcox to make the race.
MM
If Mr.. Wilcox has allowed his personal am
lature lead him into this race as the candidate
of the Irwinville crowd he has nobody to blame
but himself when he is defeated.
The puny push from Irwinville will have to
vote for Ras now but if they had any idea it
would elect him they would get sick rather than
go to the polls. They want him defeated as bad
as they wanted him to run, and its fully as impor-
tant to their purpose.
n
If Brother Wilcox inferred into his closet and
praved SATURDAY. morning. we fear he forgot
one thing Lord save me from my TRENDS the
enemy who are coming over from 1rwinvllle
today to persuade me to run for the Legislature
because they love Fitzgerald $3.50 much less
than they do Irwinville."
Mr.. Wilcox thinks that he should have been
consulted about the candidates for the house ana
senate He will find out that the friends who
stood by him in the past think they should have
been consulted about his candidacy. They will
not stand for a candidate put out by he men
who are opposing the very things they want.
Let Irwinville elect her candidate, Fitzger-
aid can't afford to help her this time. Every
vote cast here against ]. A. J. Henderson or Il.
J. Dorminy will be counted by the Irw1nvllle
crowd as vote against the New County. They
will take it to the Legislative as an arguement
against passing our new county BILL Mark the
prediction.
The Enterprise has deep interest in the
present county campaign. 1t means a great
deal for Fitzgerald and the county. We are
willing to make any reasonable personal sacrl-
fee for what we consider the best interest OF
the great ma iority of the voters of the county.
The new county is the paramount issue and to
that we shall subor dinate every other question:
Yes Oh! Yes Pauline we will get the New
County all right. The little ripple of the puny
opposition is an acknowledgement of its weak
ness Does it look reasonable that they would
run a Candidate who introduced the bill IT they
thought they could poll corporals guard OF
vote in an open contest. Their candidate prom
ises to put through the BILL that it is the wish OF
an Overwhelming majority"
~
Those who oppose the new county, there
are not manv of them, but about all of them
that could be mustered, shut up the chickens,
turned the cow and calf together, called the
dogs and packed off to Fitzgerald last Saturday
perpared to camp on Wcoxs trailtill he announc-
ed not that they want to see him reelected to
the legislature but they want to see him defeat
