The Atlanta Constitution write-up of Bruins
wick and her business prospects that will be
read with interest by every reader who is inter.
ested in South Georgia. The development of the
already great A. B. & A. System means great
deal for South Georgia, particularly Brunswick
and Fitzgerald.
We constantly read in the news dispatches
of casualties and catastrophes, a cyclone in
Oklahoma an earthquake or volcano in Callfor-
MIA or the West Indies famine in China snow
storms in the bleak north, and do not stop to
consider that we are living in country that is
practically immune from such disasters. A Pc
culiarly favored country is this
Notwithstanding the fact that there are four
job Offices in Fitzgerald, some of our business
men who believe in trading at home (when it
effects their business )are sending away for their
stationery. The Enterprise Office has more job
work than i! can do, and has had an extra force
for several months to keep up with the demands
made on it, but the work that is being order
ed from abroad could be done in Fitzgerald
and should be kept here.
Mercer of Fitzgerald Enterprise, and

Abbevle was the scene of an affray that as
sumed almost the proportions of riot, yester-
day afternoon. The trouble was with the stu
dents of the Abbevile College. Thursday after
noon one of the students was attacked by sew
eral others and the students were arraigned IN
the MAYORS court and fined $500 and cost each.
The fight was renewed again Friday evening
with the father and uncle of the assaulted stu
dent in the thick fight William and Frank
Carswe1l and Fletcher Mcleod were probably
fatally wounded and Lee Carswell, badly cut.
The governor, Yesterday suspended the
sentence imposed on Stoney Glover by Judge
Martin for violation of High License Law. The
governor did this at the request of the board OF
pardons in order to give the board an opportun"
ity to more fully consider G1over's application
for executive clemency. Glover was convicted
in the superior court and sentenced to pay
fine of $5O00O or to serve twelve months on the
chain"gang. The case was appealed>to the Su-
preme Court and Judge Martin was sustained,
then Glover's attorneys made application
through the pardon board to the governor for
release from the penalty and the board has
asked the governor to suspend the sentence un-
til they can act on the application for pardon.
1t would appear that town on which the
wetness of mountain dew settles as heavily as it
does upon the neighboring borough of Albany
would have little trouble with the blind tiger.
Yet the Herald, Monday told of the arrest of
three negroes for shat crime. All of which goes
to prove said b. t. is not exclusive outgrowth
of prohibition.-Tittou Gazette.
But the fact should not be lost sight of that
when the bli1d tiger opens shop in Albany be is
promptly pinched-whch is rot rule that
holds good in some prohibition towns we wot of.
