The warmest thing in the second district cam
pagn is the Thomasville Times Enterprise date of
Saturday, the 10th. Editor Boyer seems to have

-Four hundred and twenty votes, or two thirds
! of 629 votes are necessary for the county bonds.
The vote referred to in Saturdays Enterprise was
in the primary and not the county election. About
1900 votes cast at the primary but the election
January LIST furnishes the basis which to figure.
The only regular election ever held in the
county in which the whole county participated
was on January list, at that election 629 votes
were poled, and in order to carry county bonds on
Dec Doth two thirds of that number, or 420 votes
must be cast
The registration books are open at the tax
collectors office in the Phillips block. They are
supposed t. be open all the time from January LIST,
but as rule no attention is paid to registration
until after an election is called.

There is phase of the new local currency
problem that will now receive the close attention
of the banks and officers of the Clearing House
q Associations that has heretofore been somewhat
neglected And that is the traffic in the paper, by
money sharks who impose on the credulity of the
more ignorant, in most instances negroes and buy
in the certificates at less than their face value.
The traffic has already been started in Fitz-
. gerald but as yet little harm has been done altho
if it were not checked would grow into vast pro
portions and so prejudice the public against the
local currency which every sane man knows to be
! good as gold; that it would become useless, and
the banks would be forced to withdraw the certif
Gates from circulation.
It's crime to impose on the ignorant by tax
ing advantage of their prejudice against acurrency
N they do not understand and by offering less than
100 cents the dollar thereby increasing the pre-
udice and destroying at least the only safe substi
tute for money.
Steps will be taken to prosecute every man
who seeks to prejudice the certificates by offering
less than 100 cents on the dollar for them.

Fitzgerald Enterprise.
We thought the railroad shops were located in
Fitzgerald. We had no idea that they are far
away from that enterprising city that they have
to be reached by tran.-Dubn Courier Dispatch.
Why sure the shops are not so far away from
Fitzgerald The distance is really about hun
dred yards just outside the western limits but the
hundreds Of employees living in different parts of
fhc city could hardly be expected to walk across
BE city to get to their work. There is right much
stance about this town, Stanley.
