Sunday FIRE.

At 1880 Sunday p. N. a gcnor-
al fire alarm brou ght half the
city's population to the streets,
but the failure to turn in the
alarm properly or to phone the
department came near resulting
disastriously.
The old Chambless warehouse
used by G E. Taylor as a shingle
storage room and which was fired
by a passing engine two weeks
before, was again ablaze.
The alarm was phoned into the
power house instead of the fire
department.. %The fire whistle
simply sounded the ''third ward"
and left the balance to guess work.
The blaze Was small and the wind
kept the smoke from rising, Chief
Wilkerson was out promptly but,
not knowing in what direction to
go they leisurely proceeded thro
the business part Of the city I'M
til the fire was large enough to be
seen. 1t was then too late to save
the building filled with shingles
and lumber, and indeed houses
near the fire were in great dan
ger from the flames famed by the
gale.
The fire department would have
saved the building, as was easily
done two weeks ago, if the alarm
had Teen sent in properly. A
general alarm is all right for bring
ing out the people but the fire de-
partment wants to know where to
find the fire and a phone mess lge
to the department-not the water
and light plant, is the most i'm
portant thing.
Every body should know how to
notify the department promptly.
The building and contents were
destroyed.

SPEND YOUR MONEY AT HOME.

.@. The Enterprise has done yOemanS service III
the matter of educating it's readers on the import
ance Of trading at home. ight years we have kept
this idea before readers.
Z Governor Hoke Smith has so strongly stated
the case that we give space here to his expressions
no the subject
s'The man who spends his dollars at home will
N that dollar again sooner or later. The man
sends his dollar to some distant point viii
eF see Il again, and he makes it impossible for
that dollar to do any service to the local enterprises
and local people who would be benefited by its
use
sit is serious matter to take money out of the
channels of business and send it away so that it
cannot be used to pay the wages Of the men and
women and girls who have part in our industrial
life and who are expected to pay out their money
so that in turn it will furnish business for the
butcher, the baker, the mechanic, the farmer and
the merchant thus keeping our state prosperous
and our wealth increasing.
tsWhat chance has Georgia man to get hold of
dollar that is in Chicago or New YOrks
E'If the dollar is in his owl town and he does
all that he can to keep it there by patronizing
his home folks he will get it again many times,
for dollar that is kept at homo goes round
and round and round.
Georgia is far richer today than she was be-
fore the war;. when 1926, 100000 of wealth was
represented by the slaves. Leaving out slaves,
the state is twice as rich as it was before the
war. Much of this increase in wealth has been
due to our manufacturing industries
'sThe following figures may be interesting:
In 1861 the taxable values of Georgia were $67o,
600. 600 including 1926, 600 of slaves. Last
year the taxable values were $699, 600, 600 with
ont the slaves In 1880 the total tax values were
but two hundred and fifty million dollars while
this wear they are about seven hundred millions
and it will not be long before the tax values OF
the state OF Georgia will amount to a Billion
The value Of our manufactured products
amount to more thanone hundred and fifty million
dollars annually. The increase was sixty per cent
in the first five years of the present decade and
the census of 1910 will no doubt show that
we are producing by the industry of our Georgia
neople manufactured articles worth con sderably
more than two hundred million dollars.
WWhat has been the effect? The manufact
urers have made their profits, of course, as they
deserve to do, but all the people have shared in
the benefit The farmer has better home mar
ket for the product of his labor Towns have
sprung up lands have enhanced in value and
cities have grown.
''Ourfortunes are all interviewer We all
nrosner together. The man who helps his neigh
Dor helps himself.
ssNothing will do more to hasten the time when
Georgia will be a billion dollar state than set
4 tiled policy on the part of our people to, as far
possible, keep our money circulating among
.elres .bv patrr ssss home terprises.

There seems to be an under current pressure
from many sections in the Third congressional
district to get Judge q. A. Littlejohn to make
the race for congress
Judge Lttlejohn is Judge of the superior
court of the Southwes tern judicial circuit
and is one Of the most popular judges On
the bench in the state today.
If there is any truth in the above assertion
there is one thing quite certain, and that is
that Judge Littlejohn would come all the
way round being elected. 1t practically goes
without saying that he would carry Crisp,

no doubt be offered him at the converting of the

him returned and we believe the sentiment in this
