Point, $500 gallons has been condemned by COM

Editor Jesse Mercer of the Fitzgerald Enter
prise, is being urged to enter the race for prison
commissioner. If it takes man possessed of
fine sense of right and wrong, great mental capac
ty and fearless spirit to fill the place, then Mer-
GERS the man. But on the other hand, if it takes
political trckery to hold down the job, he'd never
be success According to our way of thinking
Jesse Mercer can find no more useful sphere than
that he now occupies publishing one OF the bright
est and most independent semi weeklies in the
state of GeOrgia.-EdisOn News

Fire.chief Wilkerson and the fire department
want to increase the departm by the addition of
another team. They make the reasonable conten-
ton that the chemical is frequently needed in cases
of fire out of the reach of the water mains. The
number of fire plugs are limited yet, and quite
per cent of the fires are out OF reach, and the
chemical engine which is in frstclass repair is Of
ten necessary. Of course the first response to an
alarm is with the hose wagon and when the chemI-
Gle apparatus is found necessary return TO the
fire house for the engine always means an expen-
sive delay.
1t is estimated that $500. 90 will MAINTAIN an
additional team 1t will not be necessary to in
crease the force of four men as the present force
can take out the two wagons promptly. The eoun-
Gil has heretofore appropriated 81, 100000 annually
for the maintenance of the department., which is
using only about 1880 of the appropriations there
for the appropriation will not necessarily be in
creased.
Fun for Fitzgerald or
When a gentleman stops to shake hands
with low bred he may expect to go away
with soiled glove and in this great Republic
of the free it's an every day Occurance that
some gentleman gets his glove soiled, for the
low bred black guard has the privilege of sail
ing under the disguise of gentleman, and all
men are forced to recognize every man as
gentleman until he learns better-Thomas
Vile Press
That is part of the game brother. 1t is i'm
possible, always to avoid contact with the low
breeds Every decent man runs the risk. most
respectable farmer may sometime encounter poll
cat in his barn yard and realize after the encOunt
er that it were far better to leave him unmOested.
If your glove becomes soiled, make the best of the
situation, look ahead.

DiSCOuragement
Editor Mercer of Fitzgerald wants to be
prison commissioners. We object on the grounds
that the state has more need of his editorial service
Prison Commissioners are easy to get, but good
editor like Mercer does not grow on every bush.-

New Counties.
We are sorry that the County Commissioners
of Brooks county are opposing the creation OF
new county with Abel "a county seat. South
Georgia certainly needs some new counties and we
regret to see opposition springing up against their
formation.
Tt is true that Brooks will have TO give up
some of her territory but this will do her no harm
and there is no reason except one of sentiment
why they should oppose it. Large counties are
harder to manage by their officers and besides this
it is unfair to those people who live good distance
