Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-12-12

their thinking caps on and prefer to study and
compare ideas before taking any final step in this
most important question that will come before the
present Congress Currency legislation is needed,
but the country is not clamoring for hasty action
that might bring more ills than those now affiict-
ing us.-LaGrange Reporter.
No, Congress will not act hasty and will hard
ly be likely to adopt Griggs Bill, whatever it may
be. Jim Griggs is good hand shaker, possum
hunter and booze fighter, but we never heard OF
his being accused as a fee non ceer

Of all the trusts that have hindered business,
destroyed enterprises, or pressed people-that
has infested this land of trust the paper trust Is
one Of the most remarkable. Why the publishers
Of the papers of this country have not protected
themselves against these robbers it is hard
for us to conceive certainly they have had the
power but for years they have simply ignored
this menacing combination of unscrupulous robbers
who have committed every crime known to such
combinations. With capital of SOL 600, 100000
it does gross annual business of $21, OOO, 600 %
About one third as much business is done as they
have the capitalized at So, 600, 600 con
Germ ought to be able to do S21, 100000 worth OF
business annually. Somebody must pay profit
on this ridiculous capitalization. No wonder
President Roosevelt is using his big stick On this
particular trust There is probablyinot compar-
able case in the business world, and the publishers
of the newspapers throughout these United States
are the victims The international Paper Co., has
not added one single machine for two years and
they control the trust They have bought few
mills that were already in operation, but in all
these years ofunparaelled prosperity and expansion
they have exerted their power to prevent the in
crease of the capacity of the paper mills OF the
country and force the prices beyond all reason.
They have poured water into the stocks until they
have less than 10 cents of real value for every dol
lars worth of stocks and bonds issued

The race question is one that every thoughtful
man must understand is not settled, but will re-
main the issue of all issues, that confront the
American people. A news dispatch from Column
bus, Mississippi says twenty five OR thirty negroes
are dead, five whites and many negroes wounded
and five negro lodge rooms burned in a fierce race
war in progress in Pickens county, Alabama.
Owing to the discovery of plot by negroes to
rise against the whites of the county, every black
is in danger. This plot was carried on by means
of a secret society which had lodge rooms IN re-
mote district of Pckens county.
Fifteen negroes were burned to death in
lodge room near Reform, Ala, last night, when
whites attacked the place, and, finding number
of repeating rifles and shotguns, fired the building
The blacks were penned in by continual
shotting of the whites and those who were not
killed in attempting to escape were roasted awe
Near Gordon three negroes were shot to death
when the posse of white men attacked the lodge
ROOM So far as has been learned the burning OF
another lodge room was without fatalities.
These terrible crimes related but emphasize
the mpossibility of counting the race question set
tied. The truth is, no man can guess what year
will bring forth.
