The ever thoughtful Constitution carries on
It's editorial page Tuesday morning a harrau-
que against Governor Smith, which is taken
from the Augusta Chronicle and duly credited
to that paper.
The Chronicle says that Governor Smith is
responsible for the extra session and that it
will cost the state of Geordia not less than
$40, 900 and probably more than that; it furth
er declares that this expenditure will be due
to the governors ''playing politics"-very bad
politics. the Chronicle so knowingly adds
To those people of the state who are inter
ested in The Chronicles statement, The Geor-
gian wishes to give it's opinion
Governor Smith is responsible for the extra
session, it will certainly not cost less thaa
$4,000, and it is perhaps the finest act of his
public life. If the convict problem is settled
and is settled sely-and that is the end
for which the extra session is called--the state
of Georgia will i'll one year make back that
$40, 900 and $4O, 900 more, and will have abol
ished disgrace that sears the soul of every
self-respecting and patriotic citizen The con-
vict broker-who has made his hundreds of
thousands-will be denied his blood money
and honesty and humanity will be given
chance.

Governor Smith was 'playing politics"-as
The Chronicle charges-in leading the force of
his office and of his personality to the move

The Colony Receivers LItI-
cation.

For quite five years or more
there has been more or less specu
lation and within the last two or
three years litigation anent the
Colony receivership.
About two years ago a petitloh
was flied asking for an auditor to
review the work OF the four r2c9lV-
ers appointed by Judge Roberts
about five years ago to wind up the
affairs of the American Tribune
Soldiers Colony Company, which
had about run it's course, or at
least course of usefulness to the
city and colony.
Judge Roberts appointed as re-
ceivers: Sydney Clare, VIM. II.
Bowen, j. 3. Clements and Thos'
S. Price, four well-known, proml-
nent business men, men familiar
with the colony, with the business
of the county, and with the people
and, tactfuI and capable in business
affairs. As the receivers had SOLD
every piece of real estate and per
sonal property belonging to the
Colony Go. and distributed the
p,oceeds among the stockholders
who had filed their certificates for
settlement, amounting to 34c on
the dollar, and were preparing to
ask for discharge by the court, q
petition was filed by certain stock
holders, (who had not, for the rea
son that they not filed their stock
for distribution, participated in the
settlement, to have the acts OF
the receivers reviewed by an audi,
tor, with view ultimately of APP
pointing new receivers, and specl
fically charging fraud in the sale of
much property, particularly Of the
Lee Grant Hotel and the square
on which the postoffice was built,
and several hundred lots sold to j.
B. Seanor and D. B. Ware.
Judge U. V. Whipple denied the
resale Of the property above men
6ioned, which had the effect OF
sustaining the titles as given by
the receivers and denied the petit
ton for new receiver.
The case was appealed to the
supreme court, that court has just
sustained Judge Whipple in de-
cision handed down last Saturday,
The effect of the ruling Of the
court sustaining Judge Whipple in
denying the petition will probably
have the effect of discouraging any
further litigation in the matter
that has dragged its way through
the courts all too long, and the
possibility is that the receivers
will now be permitted to make the
final report and be discharged.
However;
Judge Haygood, just back from
Atlanta, states to the Enterprise
that the decision of the supreme
court does not effect the main
issues in the colony receivers lit
cations, and that the main suit
will be prosecuted with vigor.

The population of Fitzgerald in 1896

grown to 1850. That's growing some, but
what else could be expected, the Enterprise is
published there and Jesse Mercer is its editor.

The Enterprise predicts, that is we predicted
last Thursday that Fitzgerald's population would
be 20, 900 within five years Probably somebody
would say that is predicting some, but we have
been predicting for the last nine years and in re-
viewing our predictions we find that they are
usually short of the mark. When we started this
paper about nine years ago, Fitzgerald had less
than half million taxable property and we pre-
dicted that it would double every two or three
years, but it has done great deal better than
that and still doubling.
