Hokesmithomania has broken out anew in
Georgia. Nearly every paper iu the state
shows signs of it, even some of those who
thought they had been vaccinated against 1t
last spring and summer.-Macon News

The business men of Fitzgerald got togeth-
er again yesterday, in the old way that demon
strated that they can be depended upon to do
the right thing at the right time. 1t IS this
firm purpose to stand together whenthe necces"
sity arrives that nsures us against the class OF
mistakes that often blight the brightest pros
poets. Fitzgerald is all right and her sensible,
loyal business men will keep her so.

Let it be understood once for all in every
county, in every state il this Union particularly
in this Southland of ours that even the sugges-
ton of social equality shall never be entertained
That the distinction which God Almighty has
established dividing the races shall not be viola
ted, but that as long as the negroes remain IN
America they shall have fair trials and an equal
showing in the enforcement of the law,

Editor Mercer of the Fitzgerald Enter
prise, says he hasn't given up the idea of
getting Georgia weekles together on the
matter of foreign advertising. Gentlemen,
our interests are deeply concerned in this
movement and it is not enough to say that
we are anxious for something to be done;
promise to attend and help to do it.-Mejgs
Review.
Lets organize by ali means; there is so
much to be accomplished by business organ-
cation.
Hayes the Granitoid man, is putting down
tile sidewalk in front of the Knorpp buildings,
the Mcmillan and Dan Mahoney lots and around
the Dickson corner at Grant and Magnolia.
When Hays takes the contract it means
that the job will be a credit to the city. The
spirit that is actuatng so many Of our business
1ot-owners in putting down good side walks is
indeed com mendable. In less progressive towns
an ordinance is necessary to force the laying OF
side walks. At one time in the history of Fitz-
gerald an ordinance was necessary to get rid
of the plank walks.
