The Enterprise is doing fairly well these short
days and long nights. Some nights we put in
about fifteen hours with three job presses going at
top speed We have made a hundred and fifty
thousand dollars within the week--of Clearing
House Certificates. One hundred thousand fol
the Fitzgerald Clearing House Association and tif
ty thousand for the Triton bankers. We have
been complimented variously on the capacity Of
our job Office and the character of work we turn
out. But then we never love to brag

Trustees, T. W. Garbutt, r. V. Bowen and D.

mittee whose signature, one at least, usually two
appear on every certificate issued by the Clearing

While it is highly improbable that any
counterfeit or forgery will be attempted yet it is
the duty of every business man at least who
handles the certificates to familiarize himself will

DIR Len G.. Broughton told the people of At
lanta, and the state that Atlanta had a sorry mar
in the mayors office and went into specifications
that make the statement look plausible. He said
tThe reason why this thing was allowed was
because the head of the city government the may
or himself allowed itand the reason he aowed it is
in strict keeping with the kind of life that helkes
AS a matter of fact Atlanta has got no mayor. She
has splendid baseball sport and horse Jockey, but
as mayor there isn't thinking man in town that
does not know the office is vacant absolutely va
can't. Just as vacant as a nought with the rim
rubbed off, This the whole city realizes but il
realized it too late"
The people who voted for Mayor Joyner,
majority of them at least wanted q sport instead
of business man. Atlanta is not the only city
with mayor selected more with view to his
sporting qualities than for his business capacity
his probity or his responsibility. The man who
loves toddy enjoys draw poker and courts the
fellowship of questionable characters often has
all the advantage on election days of the church
man of high business integrity and moral scruples
On election day they have the advantage be
cause that class OF voters turn out and take an
interest in landing their man.

For fear that the state at large constructs the
action of our Board of Trade in telegraphing the
governors in conference the other day. asking that
if possible they reach some compromise with the
railroads on questions at issue i'll the matter OF
railroad transportation, to mean that Governor
Smiths administration is not being endorsed by
Ware county, we would stop for just a brief time
to make plain the action of the Board of Trade OF
the city of WaycrOss.
During tie last two or three months it has
been remarked on several occasions that much hurt
has been done the city of WaycrOss by recent egis
lation in regulation of railroads. These remarks,

not only opposed to Hoke Smith in his race for
governor but men, who, since his inauguration as
governor of the state of Georgia, have opposed him
in every way possible within their very limited
power.
Now, by these people who entertain such un
friendly feeling to Governor Smith and his admin
istratiOn, it may be considered that the action oil
the Board of Trade meant criticism of the admin
istration of Gov. Smith 1t may be that these
gentlemen are attempting to force such cOnstruc
ton upon the action of the Board of Trade in order
to have it appear that WaycroSs cone of the most
prosperous cities in the statc) is not in sympathy
with the governor and thereby weaken i'll q way
the power or influence of the governor In fact
it NAV be that the moving spirit that brought
about the meeting of the Board of Trade on the
day the governors were in conference i'll order that
q message might be sent to the three great COVER
norS of Alabama North Carolina and Georgia and
from the Magic City of the Wiregrass, came as d
dlctatlOn from the SfeIt central organization, Of
body that has for its purpose the shielding of the
railroads and the opposition of reform. We hardly
think this to be the case, however, but on the
other hand we except the belief that the real pur
pose and object of the meeting Of the Board OF
Trade on last Friday was to send message to the
three governors that would impress upon Their
minds that down in Southeastern Georgia there is
the Magic City, WaycroSS that is ever alive to the
interests of it people and to all its interests.
We believe that we express the feeling OF
ninety per cent of the members who attended this
meeting when we say that THE SENSE OF THE
