Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1907-09-07

A Virginia politician has invented a scheme
by which he may avoid kissing all the babies and
mothers in his district.
After thinking it over for a few days, he gave
an order to a confectioner for ten thousand candy
''kisses,D with the following verse printed on the
wrappers
'Heres a kiss for the baby,
A bow to mama;
Hoping they will get me,
The vote of papa
These he has distributed lavishly in his dls,
trict 1t is believed that this brilliant scheme will
mark new era in politics.
Pull for Fitzgerald Pull Out.
Fitzgerald's water, the city water, not the
water from the surface wells but from the deep
well, many hundred feet thro the rock, out of
reach of any possible contamination, from which
the pure liquid spouts in almost continuous jet,
hundreds of gallons per minute into small cover
ed reservoir thro which stream almost continual
ly flows is as pure as the imagination can conceive
or the heart could WISH There is no mountain
spring more wholesome and pure. 1t is hardly
possible that our supply of pure water appreciat
ed.
We write this much on the subject of water
for the reason that the users of surface well water
run great risk of fever The few cases of fever that
have appeared thisseason easily tracea BILE to the
surface wells.
Until the water mains have been extended to
every section of the city including the new territory
taken in by the new Charter, it would be hard
ship on some to condemn the surface wells but
certainly they ought not to be permitted longer
than next spring. Every surface we'll in the city
should be filled up before next May. The health
record has been good the past twelve months and
every precaution should be taken to keep the
health of the city good.
There is no doubt that the fine water afforded
by the city well is largely responsible for the very
healthy condition of the people
luI for Fitzgerald
Negro residents among the homes of respect
Able whites are always Objectionable, not only in
the South but in any community in the United
States.
But
When disreputable negro wenches, hallOts,
PROGRESSES settle themselves in respectable white
district 1T is almost the limit and 1t is usually the
timid who wouldwait for the action of the law
The editor of this paper is law and order adj
vocate We headed the law and order league or
gained 10y the ministers of this city for several
years. and we've been worker III the Law ana
Order League ever since its organization; we were
designated and hold the honorable place OF chair
man of the Law and Order organization, recently
instituted by Governor Northern in this cuonty; but
there are instances when it is scarcely to be eXpec
ted that the law can give relief This social ques-
ton in a city like Fitzgerald seems to present the
most difficult phase of the hardest question with
which the Southern people have to deal.
We do not, and shall not, approve any person
al violence to any citizen Of any color or character
but the white men who have undertaken to protect
their families against the encroachment Ofvery I'M
desirable negro neghbois have our full sympathy,
as long as they refrain from bodily harm.
The Enterprise has long advocated the segre-
cation OF the i'll this town and we shall insist
with more earnestness such step fer the immedi-
ate future. We hope the men, eve have not seen
nor heard one word from either Of them will keep
within the bounds of the law, but stand firm
against the invasion of their neighborhood by PEG
pie who would not only destroy the value of their
