Eight years we have published the

Eight years we have pulled for Fitz-

Eight years we have made divi

Eight years we have received good
salary.
Eight years we have made enemies

about one for each year, and that is quite

Eight years we have made friends,

Not year since the organization

but has been fruitful, suspicious, laden
with prosperity for the people and the
Community to which this paper has
been devoted.
We have grown from haplesS and
haphazard village of 500 souls with
S4OO, 900 of tax value, saloon ridden, and
name that was by-wOrd to a city OF
5000 or 10000 prosperous people, with
three and half million of tax values,
without saloon, or even blind tiger,
and as high moral standard as any peO-
pie in our civilization. From wide
open" village of gambling and carouSing
people we have come to be church
loving, moral and decent city, in
which the questions of education and
christianity usurp the place in the hearts
Of the people once held by schemes of
wide open" regime.
The part the Enterprise has played
in the transformation is well known to
all. We want no undue credit. The
publiShingcompany was organized for
the purpose of turning the tide, of point
ing to our opportunities and condemning
the ugly things that stood in the way of
Improvement morally and materially.
We have taken sides" on every
question, in doing so we have necesSa-
rilv sacrificed friend ships. We could not
have been effective if we had been less
IN earnest. There was no opportunity
or temporising nor excuse for compro
nising.

New Counties.

of Brooks county are opposing the creation OF a
new county with Abel as county seat. South
Georgia certainly needs some new counties and we
regret to see opposition springng up against their
formation.
It 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 liyea good distance
from the county seat.
Thousands of dollars will be added to the val
ue of property in the district if the county is
formed

in some instance one hundred per cent on account

Judge Whitson, ito whip out constitu-

GOTHAM'S CAR PUZZLE
Race for Receivership- Met
ropolitan Wins Trick
to Dodge Courts.

New York, Oct. 1.-Chicago never
dreamed Of tangle such as that which
developed in New York's traction mud
die today when the Metropolitan Street
railway voluntarily went into the
hands Of receivers. just an hour or
two before, Attorney General Jack
son fled suits TO have receivers forced
upon the company.
Judge Lacombe. in the United States
court, appointed the receivers for the
Metropolitan on its own application.
The attorney general filed his suit for
receivership in the state supreme court
and a the same time suit for the
dissolution of the New York City rail-
way.
Under ordinary circumstances one
court does not interfere with another
after a receiver has once been ap-
pointed. If the supreme court grants
the attorney generals application it
VIII mean a conflict between the state
and federal courts. and the attorney
general declared today that in that
event he would carry the case up with
out delay to the highest tribunal.
Trick to Dodge State Courts.
He is of the opinion that the Net
ropolitan's application for receivership
in the federal court was trick TO
block action in the state courts. He
charges collision between the Metro
politan and the New York City rail-
way, which leases lines to the Metro
politan. In federal action, the purpose
Of which, as he sees it, is TO preserve
the system intact
The legal tangle precipitated by the
double receivership would battle cor
poration lawyer, and the financial mud
die revealed by the days developments
is even worse.
In the suit he filed asking for the
appointment of receivers for the Met
ropolitan, Attorney General Jackson
makes charges of extravaganza, fall
ure to account for millions of dollars,
and hints at big frauds. He alleges
that the appointment of receivers for
the New York City railway company
by Judge Lacombe in the United States
circuit court a few days ago was IL
legal. and demands that the defend
ants be directed to pay back all money
and the value of all property which
was lost and wasted by or through
them"
