Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-10-26

The decline in the price of cotton five dollars
per bale, this week, is far more important to the
South than anything that has recently happened
in the business world.

A life insurance company has been organized
in Athens this week with half million dollars OF
capital stock. We need more insurance companies
in the South. The millions that are sent to the
Northeast monthly as insurance premiums is one
of the greatest drains on this section

''The man with the hoe' is about to lose his
job. Science has disco rered that ten per cent
solution of sulphate of iron will destroy yellow
dock, cOckleburr, smart weed, rag weed and Spanish
needless while it will not jure corn, wheat, rye,
ETC. If it will only kill crab grass, pesimmon and
sassafras sprouts the man with the hoe will be out
of job in short time.-Cotton Journal.

The failure of Henze and Morse, two Wall
street plungers, completely ratified the New
York banks and disturbed the money market
throughout the United States and great many
bankers are now congratuIating themselves and the
country in general that we escaped panic. Isn't
there something radically wrong with the financial
system that can be so easily shaken, and by two
or three reckless spectators?

This trust-breaking administration of
proposes Il new tack on the trusts There is q
neglected provision of the law that it is claimed
Mas just been discovered. The law they now say
they are going to enforce is that any article owned
by trust which operates in violation OF the
Sherman anti trust laws, that is in "restraint of
trade, =" is subject to seizure and confiscation by
the federal government and confiscated The
owner of the article seized, if he wants to get it
back, must go into court and prove that he is not
violating the laws. This is very clear provision
of the law which has been on the statute books for
seventeen years. Already $3.50, 900 cigarettes be-
longing to the American Tobacco Company have
been seized and if it wants it's property back it
must go into court and prove that it is not con-
binaton in restraint of trade.

brownsville still tolerates the cow nuisance on
her streets The Times Enterprise which is
strongly opposed to the liberties of the bovine,
says:
''Her depredatons her filth, her uncouthness
her terror to the littlest Ones all outweigh the one
reason for her staying and, in all fairness, we
question the sincerity of the sole reason which has
been given for her staying, thatshe keeps the poor
widow from suffering. Thomasville possibly has
her quota of poor widows, and the Times Enter
prise would be the last to rob them of their main
stay, but before we agree to recede from our po-
stion you will have to ''show us, both that they
exist, and that the REMOVAL of the COW from her
present grazing ground would work irreparabe III.
Jury to them We are of the opinion that the
widow would be as much benefited by the change
as any other member of our community"
The point is we'll taken, Fitzgerald has long
since forbidden the freedom of her streets to the
marauders and for more than year the household
of the editor of this paper has been supplied with
butter, first class and plenty of it by poor widows
and they are not as poor they were when the
cattle roamed the streets.
