Hon. Jesse Mercer
For Prison Com.
Is the Only South Georgian
In the Race this Year.

The WrigAtsville Chronicle, in
it's last issue, has this to say in ref
erence to Editor Mercer, of the En-
teprise, and his candidacy for Pris-
on Commissioner.
Inspiteof the fact tibet this years
ticket is one of the longest of recent
years, it is peculiar in the respect
that there is but one South Geor-
gia candidate on it for contesting
position.
The gentleman from South Geor-
gia is Hon. Jesse Mercer, of Ben
Hill county and the City of F'itz-
gerald. He is q native Georgian
and a man of splendid ability, with
as much backbone Of the right kind
as any man needs to do his duty.
In the performance of duty, Mr..
Mercer KNOWS neIGnef Iflenu nOl
foe, and is the uncOmpromising adj
vocate of that which is aight re-
CARELESS of opposition.
He is just such a character as
would fill the Office of Prison Com
missioner we'll. AS the South
Georgia candidate for this position
to succeed the only South Georgian
on the board, Hon. Tom Eason,
who will retire after this election.
Mr.. Mercer will receive IL heavy
vote, especially in South Georgia,
and throughout the state.

DR., HOItzendOrf
Sees Victory.
For Smith In Fulton County.
By Personal Observation
Found the Ratio
six to Two.

DR.. G. A. Holtzendorf, of this
CITY, returned from Atlanta this
morning where he had been befOre
the railroad commission in the in
ter, st of the Fitzgerald 4 OcilIa
trolley road, in which he is fnan-
cially and otherwise interested.
The doctor was interviewed at
his Office shortly after his arrival
by an Enterprise reporter and when
asked about his reception by the
railroad commission he enthusiasts
tically stated that had he been rep
senting an enterprise Of gigantic
proportions he could have received
no greater attention. He stated
that Chairman McLendon went
into detail with him pertaining to
a number of measures the commits
sion had in mind and went over
considerable OF the work that they
had done in the past. Besides the
attention of Chairman McLendon,
Commissioners IIilIyer and Hill
extended cordial and courteous
welcome to him and greatly assist
ed his work of getting his matter
before the board.
The doctor was then asked what
he thought of Fulton county going
for Brown. "Do you know" heI
answered, III had heard so much
about Fulton county being solid

The Miners are here today. Four
games will be played. the first one
this afternoon. Sunday there will be
a double header.
Much interest during the Joplin
series will attach itself to the work
of .Stevie Ragan and Doc Pollard.
Ragan performed here for over
three years and has wide circle of
friends among the baseball players.
Pollard made many friends during
his stay here and he has done well
since going TO Joplin. He will pitch

calls could take the lead while fight
ing the Nets next week on their own
grounds.
Monday is an off day Tuesday the
team leaves for Enid and Oklahoma
City where three games apiece will
be played. The locals will leave in
better shape than at any previous
time this season. S. Olson will be
back and Dick now has good pitch
ing staff with Hagerman, Selby ana
Root to bear the brunt of the work
and Hollingsworth and Boles to fall
back on. -
Boles seems to be one of the best
run getters on the team. In the
three Webb City games Boles scored
five out of the fourteen runs made by
the locals. In addition his batting
was timely and three of the runs
during the series were driven in by
his batting. In fact, Walter alone is
responsible for as many runs as the
entire Webb City bunch scored during
the season. "He is one of the best
players I ever saw" said Cooley this
morning, land 1 would like to use
him in every game if I could With
Boles. Wooley and Cole, Cooley will
have three of the best run getters- in
the league.
