The Enterprise returns thanks for ten years of
prosperous business not this one year alone. We
are particularly thankful for the loyal friends who
have made possible that success

The Atlanta papers seem to be unanimous
against Jim Woodward and that ought to count
for something even in town where the average
gentleman of unquestiOned responsibility cuts but
sorry figure in politics.

The Virginia Carolina Chemical Company has
recently signed mortgage on it's various plants In
Georgia to New York bank for $15, 100000 to be
paid in fifteen years. A great many farmers give
the Virginia Carolina Company mortgages and
possibly many of them do not suspect that the
Chemical Company itselfsgns papers of that nature

If per cent beer is Intoxicating, 8 per cent
beer is slightly less If percent beer will make
a man drunk, 2 percent beer will make him half
drunk The compromise that Georgia is making
with the rum sellers is not to her credit The people
of Georgia want prohibition and our prediction is
that the next Legislature will that it is forth
coming.
Supt Coombs, of the state Prison Farm, is
again in the lime light. This time the Governor rec
commends his discharge. He has been drunk and
disorderly on the streets of Macon and Governor
Smith seems to take the view that man in his
high official position should not be guilty of such
conduct or rather that being guilty ofsuch con-
duct he should not be kept III office. On October
81 Supt Coombs was arrested in Macon for drink
ness and disorderly conduct, to which he filed a
plea of guilty and was fined SIS in Recorder court
When the report came to the Governor he made
personal investigation of the case and Mayor A.
T.. Miller sent Chief of Police Wescott from Macon
to Atlanta to place the facts before the Governor
in person.
The entire correspondence was submitted to
the Commission, which will hold its next meeting
on December Z.

Another municipal campaign is on us. Can
didates are announcing with encouraging regularity
We seem to have in Fitzgerald political barkises in
plenty 1t is a healthy sign to see the people
ready to be sacrificed on the political altar. God
bless the patriotic and liberty loving Ftzgeraldite
who is willing to stand the criticism Of
the Fitzgerald Enterprise for the sake Of serving
the dear people and the honor of being city father
Now we are not going to make much trouble
in this campaign, everybody is entitled to run and
get elected if they can, but put them on notice
now that we hold to the old privilege OF saying
what we think of their official conduct For more
than year we have had little to sly in criticism
of the CITY officials The truth of the matter is
thew have not deserved severe criticism but lest
false impressions get abroad in the city we say it
now. that the men who are elected in the present
campaign will be expected to come up to full
measure of duty. We want and must have greater
and better Fitzger AID and the city council
as governing board viii greatly influence that re.
snlt or retard its contamination.
