Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-03-19
TUESDAY, MARCH 10. 1907.

The eaperness with which the Tennessee
counties are falling into the prohibition column
Is causing the distillers to sit up and take no.
kice. Jackson Tennessee went dry thursday
by vote of 937 to and another county polled
only II votes against the prohibition ticket.
The one-story brick building on the site OF
the proposed Garbutt-Dopovan Building Is De-
Ing torn away. 1t looks pity to tear away
nice pressed brick building but it IS a mere
Incident of Fitzgerald's evolution and but stres-
ees our insistence that it is folly to put one ana
two story buildings in the business districts
It is large and a bold proposition which
The governor-elect of Georgia lays down to COW
IL with state owned railroad commercial re-
Rion stretching from Savannah to Chicago but
II must not be forgotten that there is great
eovernor behind it. to the reason to sustain IT,

The Enterprise may not be power; we
ave never expected to set the world atre with
he briiliance of our editorial work, but we have
we'll fixed determination to use our modlcum

Mo read these columns 1t may be that the
edicine is some times bitter, but dear reader

IL the doctor.
They sell girls for street beggars in Bo-
mia, and they are profitable slaves Some
hes earning, or collecting at least, good daily
Acomes. It's different in Fitzgerald the beg
8rs would not be permitted on our streets.
The good ladies who are organized to take care
pf such cases, would take them in charge and
Sbon expose the fraud, prosecute the william and
Rscue the girl.
Two clever card sharpers robbed the sports
Berlin out of $5O0,OOO last season. They
ned marked cards. The fraud discov-
red by the use of microscope. They use to
Job unsuspecting and unsophisticated youths
bout Fitzgerald with marked cards, Knockout
drops and brass knucks, but that is all changed
row. Fitzgerald is numbered among the civilized
pmmunities.
IL is announced that the ice men decided in their
Nnnyention last week not to form a combination
IN advance or to fix uniform prices. 1t is
Elaimed that the reason for this decision was
ak public sentiment was too strong against 1t,
the South, and that conditions affecting
8anufacture vary too much in different COM
Snnities, and what would be reasonable price
one place would be too low in another and
aAk manufacturers refusing to enter the COM
Hination, would make it impossible to maintain
hfices. Our guess is that the prices will soar
fright and there will be but little competition.
Editor Allen of t e Moultrie Observer
astonishes us with the following remarkable
statement in closing an editorial indorsment of
Gov. Northen's work:
THE negro is satisfied to fill a humble
position and toll out his days. We lave al
ways said that the difference between a
negro and a sorry white man is too small to
raise disturbance about"
We do not believe that Editor Allen is pre-
pared to defend either of the statements made
III the two short sentences quoted. We hope he
will retract BOTH The lines were probably
written in careless moment n without
proper consideration, W. hope o a least.
What say you brother Allen?
