Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-03-02

If this isn't spring time then, gentle Annie
pray tell US what.
The local Law and Order organization is in
the field for business and will put forth its best
efforts for the moral uplift
One of the indications OF our higher civili-
cation is that it is no longer fashionable to get
drunk or swear. Profanity and booze are being
ostracsed by respectable people everywhere.
We are in receipt of Volumn /, No. OF the
Norman Park Press, published by A. NJ. Ben

prosperity.
Even busy man must take day off sooner
or later for the purpose of attending his own
funeral.-Cordele Daily Post.
What, then, is the advantage to be gained
by advancing the day off.

Former Governor w. ]. Northen is en-
gagged in work that is worthy any man and
that will leave its impress on the history OF the
state as long as it has history. His efforts Tor
law and order-agaiust the savagery OF brutes
and the 1awlessness of mobs, will live long af-
ter the current political events of the day have
passed into the great nav of oblivion.
Fitzgerald is the greatest automobile city 10
Georgia. 1t is great in great many other ways
but for motor cars sh is eimmense and, when
her four drives, Sutana, Merrimac, Roanoke,
Monitor, that mark the four sides of the 1000
acres on which this prodigious ten year old
is built, ar e graded and surfaced with natural
clay and soil, then automobling will be the
charm of summer life here.
Mr.. C. l.. Sbley, of Ociila, was here yes
terday in search of his fathers body, which was
entrusted to the Southern Express Company, at
Mama, Fla, Wednesday, to be shipped to
Ocilla for burial. The casket reached Cordele
Thursday night, was taken to Savannah and
brought back to Abbeville, yesterday and for
warded to Ocilla, reaching its destination last
night. If there is a more Irresponsible arb1-
trary unrestraned organization anywhere in
this trust.cursed country than the Southern
Express Company, we have not found it. But
we are forced to patronize it, for the reason that
its monopoly is positively complete, probably
the most complete in the world. One day (not
far Distant the business world will turn its at
tention to this express monopoly and its stock
will tumble from the lofty heights to which it
has climbed during these years of unrestraint.

We do not know how long will keep
up the lick but it is evident to every observ-
ant man who is at ali posted as to our
growth and deve1opment that unless there
is some interruption, Atlanta and Birmiug
ham must look to their laure1s, We mean
invidious comparisons, for comp arisons are
always odous. Certainly, Albany, Triton
nor cambridge have no reason for envy.
They are prospecting beyond expectations
of the most sanguine, but as for Fitzgerald
she is taking on the airs of a boom.-Fitz'
gerald Enterprise.
You had better have care, Brother Mer-
Ger, how you mix a combination of booms
and air. Some times booms become in
flated with hot air that they burst. Hope,
however, that this will not be the exper-
fence of the thriving little capital city of Ben
Hill county.-Doug1as Enterprise.
Well, we have fewer cares than anybody
and we do rot seriously ject to the care
suggested by OAR Douglas neighbor.
Ex-Governor Northen is being highly COM
mended for the work he is now doing, endeav-
oring to bring about better understanding be.
tween the white and coofed races. and pell-
ing higher regard for the law by the white
people, who should under all circumstances be
conservative and and considerate in their deal
ings with the inferior race.-Sandersville Her
