Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-03-12
TUESDAY, MARCH p, 1907.

The fool who sends his money to be invest
ed in gold mine or any other sort of mine,
needs guardian
Fem Bros. have put in a large business
in Fitzgerald, and will in the future conduct
business houses both here and there. This
II is a most enterprising firm of young men,
and we had hoped that their energies would
be confined to Cordee.-Rambler
We will not use linotype. After think
ing over that proposition we have decided
to train young boys and girls to do our
typesettng. This is not only cheaper, but,
as Col. Jesse Mercer of Fitzgerald says,
"You are doing more good in the communi-
ty." We are not attempting impossibties
but we are going to cover this field in the
newspaper line Watch and see!-Cordele
Rambler.
A linotype may be good thing but line
8o'girls at about $50 per week is powerful
good substitute.
Let it be understood once for all in every
county, in every state in this Union, particular
Iy ID this Southland of ours, that even the sug-
geston of social equality shall never be enter
kained That the distinction which God AL
mighty has established dividing the races shall
not be violated, but that as long as the negroes
remain in America they shall have fair trials
md an equal showing in the enforcement of the
law.
Did you know dear reader, that its dread
lily dry in Fitzgerald, now days.
There are some tigers in the city to be
aare, but they are as shy as coon and ia such
WI strata that even their influence is seldom
pserved by the decent people.
The enormous profits from blind-tgers
ire naturally tempting to the scheming lout
Nho is not willing to get down to honest employ
Men for livelihood, but it is growing to be very
Questionable in Georgia and the zebra stripes
the convict will be so closely associated with
he tiger that the nickname of the illicit dealer
lay be changed from blind-tiger to wild zebra.
In Ben Hill County we want the blind-tiger
nsiness and the public-road question to be-
None closely associated. Blind-tigers are splen-
bid road builders, and if we are not mistaken
~ have the judges, on city and superior court
Inches who take that view of it.
BY all means let's have a blind-tiger brigade
he Saloon and Negro Problem in the South
The saloon and the negro cannot co-exist
without trouble. The colored man is more
subject to the demoralizing influences of the
saloon than the white man. The saloon
Graduates loafers, and they become hends
as dapgeroua as wild beasts of prey. Near
all cases of assault and attempted crimi-
nal assault'upon our white women may be
Traced directly and indirectly to the iuhu-
ence of the saloon.
It is an awful thing for our wives, sisters
and sweethearts to live in fear-fearing to
60 out on the public highway alone and
Fearing that fend will break into the
house if left alone. Such are the conditions
in many places in The South where the col
pred people have easy access to intoxicating
liquors. This leads to a clash of races
which results in creating prejudice. Too
often the innocent colored people and the
best white people suffer a result
To bring the Southern States wholly uu-
der prohibition will do more than anything
else toward finding a satisfactory solution
Of the negro problem. The South will BAN
ISL the saloon for these reasons.
