The new enterprise. (Madison, Fla.) 1901-1908, 1907-09-26

That fellow L Up to MS i r
Thomas Lipton-is a thorough
bred. He has issued his chal-
lenge and for the fourth time
will try to wrest from the Unit
ed States that famous piece of
silver plate known as the
"America's cup" The New
York Yacht Club, which holds
the coveted memento, will de-
tend it and next year will wit
ness another one Of the great
International yacht races. Of
course, being patriotic, we want
the cup to stay on this side of
the pond, but if it must go back
across we hope that fellow
Upton will be the man to carry
it oyer.

The Mayor of Perry promptly

The Mayor of Perry promptly
vetoed the ordinance passed by
the council establishing a liquor
dispensary so now that town
will not be pestered with the
booze trafic-at least, the lega-
lized traffic. Perry's mayor is
to be commended for his stand
on the matter.

IT seems that the prohibition
question will be forced into
politics in spite of everything.
We regret this fact, Prohibi'
tion is a moral question, pure
and simple, and should not be
thrown into the dirty game of
politics.

That promised extra session
doesn't seem to be forthcoming
rapidly. What's the matter?
It isn't possible, surely, that
The Sun, the Court Gazette, has
made a mistake. Maybe, as
someone has suggested, the
trouble is there is not enough
money on hand to pay the bill,
and the extra session must be
postponed until after the license
money pours into the State
treasury.

 I began to note improvement in my condition very soon after I took on Postum. The change proceeded grad ually, but surely. and It was a mat ter of only a few weeks before I found myself entirely relieved the nervousness passed away. my digestive apparatus was restored to normal ef- ficiency. and began to sleep. restfully and peacefully.

 During the war great deal oi ingenuity had been expended by the Confederates on torpedoes and torpe- do boats. Some years ago l read an account of the most. remarkable of these. Briefly. 1t was. In substance as follows: kS

 However, each one must make choice and pay the bill. The one who can let out coffee when it is known to be slowly setting up disease of some of the organs is worthy of praise.
 The change from coffee and its aches and ails to well-made Postum with its comfort and health, is really quite easy, for the deep seal brown of Postum changes to the rich golden brown when cream is added and the flavor (when made ac- cording to directions) is very like the mild high grades of Java coffee. But the change drives out the coffee troubles and the old condition of com fortabIe health returns.

History and Romance.

It may interest some of our readers to be reminded that the incidents re- lated in the exceedingly valuable and entertaining contribution provided by our. historical editor this week have furnished the foundation for Cyrus Townsend Brady's novel A Little Trai- tor to the South.'' Whatever one may think of the artistic merits of the story, 1t is at least refreshing to find war romance which does not falsify history by representing Southern girls and Northern army officers as eager to fly into each others arms the moment peace was proclaimed. From a com mercial point of view it may be good policy to throw this literary sop to the Cerberus of Northern trade, but as a matter of fact, those of us whose mem ory runs back to the closing days of the war, know that the bitterness of feeling prevailing then was 50 great that any Southern girl who had con- sented to receive the smallest social attention from one who was regarded asi an enemy !ofJcheSt country would have been immediately ostracised by her own people little calculated to en- courage such experiments.

Nv dear co-Workers:

Mrs Palmer, Treasurer, mentions in q recent letter. that the per capita tax of the chapters. already paid in. is less than the per capita of these same chapters for last year. This Is to Do regretted, for the supposition has been that the membership was being i'm creased and was so reported at Gulf port. the figures being the sum total or members reported in the rosters. AS chapter representation is regulated by the amount of per capita tax paid to xlle treasurer, care should be taken to send the full amount due on member sEtp. and when the rosters are sent to the recording secretary to exclude all members names who have not full fillAd this obligation. We trust that every chapter will, from this on, take care tn pay the dues for every mem ber4 It is so difficult to take up the work when it is once dropped and in- tsrest is lost. Wc cannot afford to lose our members. but do all we can to encourage and strengthen the less fa- vofed or conditioned organizations We hope not one chapter will be delin- quent this year. and the few who have dropped out will see their way to Kea7ousiy reorganiZe or their mem- bers join some other chapter. Remem- Der. all dues must be paid one month previous to the convention. May 8.
