An air of romance hovers about
the county jail; the odor of turkish
cigarettes is waited thru the barred
openings; Willie Porter languishes
in durance vile.
Willie has been regarded as some
thing of sport since he has been
in Fitzgerald and, last week, lavished
his affections, and some cash on a
pretty vaudeville danseuse.
There is considerable to the
romantic side of the story that could
be made readable and involves local
celebrities, but the Enterprise is not
much on romance-rather disposed

Ny DEAR SIR: I do not know
whether Fitzgerald has been billed
for the Soul Kiss" or not, but since
it is to appear here on the 3Oth' pre-
sumo it will also appear before or
after that date in Fitzgerald
About a year ago, when this play
made its appearance in New York.
a writer in Success Magazine came
out in a long article, commenting
on a number of the new plays, and
among others condemned The
Soul Kiss" as indecent, vulgar and
unfit for respectable people to see.
He says that he is unable to under
stand why it is called The Soul
Kiss" because Everything about the
person is exposed except the SOUL
and advises all cities to bar it from
the seasons program. Some cities,
among them Richmond, Va, have
done so. The Queen of the Moulin
Rouge" is another play ne very
strongly condemns, and | see that
the Macon News in an editorial
severely criticizes its recent produc-
ton there
Knowing your stand on all moral
questions, if either of these plays are
offered in Fitzgerald hope you
will hit them and hit them hard"
| have the article in question and
can produce it when necessary.
heartily endorse your stand
against near beer holes"
Yours,
w. S. HARDEN.
We are not quite sure that the
above letter was intended for publi-
cation, but we will take the chances
and promise Brother Harden and
others who may be interested, to
take care of the Soul Kiss" if it
comes our way.

that the Masons will lay the corner

A Young Man In Jail Charged
With Cheating and SWindling

to the practical side of things. We
would think more of Willie if he
thought less of diamonds and
cigaretts, dancing girls and fancy
hosiery, and more of earning a few
dollars at useful employment.
The young man, who is about is
years of age, halls from Gainesville
and is said to be we'll connected.
His present predicament excites our
sympathy.
He will stand trial next Friday
on the charge of cheating and
swindling and we hope will come
out all right.

Opposition to Warren.

Mr.. H. R. Peavy will possibly con-
test Mr.. H. M. Warrens election to
the board of county commissioners,
or rather oppose his election Oct. 5th.
Mr.. Peavy was a candidate in the
county primary but fail to receive
sufficient votes to give him a place
on the democratic ticket but Mr..
Peavy claims Mr.. Warren cannot be
legally declared a nominee for the
reason that he was not a legal voter
and therefore disqualified for the
office.

The Central Avenue crossing OF
the A. B. & A. railroad was the
scene of another accident this morn
ing.
The OUTGOING Thomasville passen-
ger train at 6 o'clock this morning
encountered a mule and wagon driv-
en- by a negro boy on the Central
Avenue crossing. The mule was
killed and the wagon wrecked, but
the driver escaped by jumping from
the wagon just before the train
struck.

Revival Meetings.


Under the leadership of DR.. Arch
C. Cree revival services were inau-
gurated at the First Baptist church
last evening and an active and ear
nest campaign of protracted services
will be conducted throughout the
week and longer if the results war
rant. The morning hour is at 10
o'clock, at night 7:3O.
Pastor 7. M. Galloway and his
church membership is earnestly en-
listed with the evangelist and the
services are expected to accomplish
much good.

A DEADLY GRADE CROSSING
Townsville Passenger Kills Mule---Wrecks Wagon
---Frghtens Boy.

There was nothing to obstruct the
view, or explanation or excuse ap-
parently for the accident, except
that the crossing is a dangerous
trap, at the bottom of a street grade
where there is much travel.
The train was probably running
faster than was consistent with due
caution. Certainly the city author
tiles should devise some scheme to
guard against the frequent repetition
of such accidents.

COMMUNICATED

The following has Deen nandeu 10
us for publication. We have not had
an opportunity to personally look
into the case, but will do so and
have more to say on the subject as
soon as we have.
There is a man in this county
by the name of Logan. who is sell
ing mining stock to negroes alone.
He has a copy Of a deed purported
to be made by C. E. Caraker and
his wife, which is witnessed by
Arnold Broyles, of Atlanta. He has
a certified copy of the articles of in
corporation; he has copy of pur-
ported certificate signed by Joseph
M. Brown, Governor of the State of
Georgia, in which it certifieS that
the signature of Arnold Broyles to
the deed made by Caraker and his
wife is Genuine. He also has GER
tificate from C. M. Wise, Ordinary
of Ben Hill County, in which
Mr.. Wise certifies that he
has examined his papers and they
appear regular on their face. He
takes these and exhibits them to
the negroes in the county; shows
them these certificates and thereby
gets them to buy mining stock.
It is a pretty clever scheme, hav-
ing a purported certificate from the
Governor of this State and a certifi-
cate from the Ordinary of this Coun-
ty, but, it should be known to the
darkies, and it is the duty of every
white man in the County to advise
these negroes to whom he is at
tempting to sell the same, that the
only thing the certificates amount
to is that he has had company in
corporated; that Broyle's signature
to the deed is genuine and Wise's
certificate that his papers appear
regular on the face. None OF these
parties know anything about the
mine. they certify nothing as to the
value of the mine.
The proposition may be all right,
but there is no certificate from any
of these officials that it is. could
90 to Atlanta, get Mr.. BrOyles to
witness the deed for me and have
Governor Brown to certify that the
signature appearing on the deed
was Genuine and the certificate
would simply amount to Broyles
signing his name to the deed. l
could get a charter and have a
company Incorporated and | would
not have thing in the world ex-
cept the charter and the mere fact
that these parties have articles OF
incorporation. These certificates
amount to absolutely nothing.
What these darkies should insist on
when they offer to sell them the
stock is, not that they have a Ger
tifcate of Broyles signature and
that the charter appears regular,
but the certificate of the Governor
of Georgia and of Mr.. Wise, Ordi-
nary of Ben Hill County, that the
mine is worth One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars, they are seeking to
get the negroes to pay"

New High School
Building at Ashton

IL LGlINfhlLDb AEA'p OSRN' ~
Editor Enterprise:
Dear Sir. Kindly allow space in
your paper to give notice that the
new High School building for the
Ashton District, is nearing compile
ton. The people of the Ashton Dis
trict and surrounding community
should congratulate themselves upon
securing the erection of such a
magnificent structure. This building
when completed and furnished will
cost something over $500, and to
show to the County Board of Edu-
cation and our worthy School COM
missioner the appreciation of such
an institute, the citizens and patrons
of said school have gone down into
their pockets and paid one half OF
the cost of this building, those that
have paid on this building are out
spoken in behalf of the accomplish
ment of this school building, which
is for the benefit of the entire COM
munity, and those that paid have
not lost any sleep over the amount
they have paid, but stand ready to
assist in any other worthy cause that
will build up their community in
elevating their boys and girls mind
and hearts to higher and nobler
things. In unity there is strength,
peace, and prosperity. Every COM
munity should be united for the
education of their children, for we as
parents should put fourth every
effort to give our children that which
is in their reach while they are child
rem. (education) We should not be
so self conceited as to live life
that will not be beneficial to those
of our neighbors and citizens OF the
community, financial or otherwise,
for after all life is short and death
is sure. So it stands us in hand to
do all the good we can, as often as
we can, to as many as we can, while
here on earth we chance to stay, for
we do not know the moment we will
be called away.
The erection of this school building
will be a living monument to the
rising generation for the forethought
and interest their parents had taken
in them in providing for thier future
advancement in meeting the battle
of life equally with those of other
communities in the way of educetion.
There has been some contributions
collected from friends who are not
residents of this community and
indeed it has been highly apprecla-
ted, those that have contributed to
this fund have a special invitation
to call and investigate this work and
to do this am sure they will feel
grateful to themselves for assisting
their friends in securing this needful
institution, which will be opened to
the public, and will be absolutely a
free school, and will be graded into
three departments this year.
The county school board is calcu-
lating to put wagons on the road
and haul the children that are too
far to walk.
Mr.. Editor, | ask your pardon for
this lengthy communication already
written, but in writing on this SUBJ
ject get interested beyond express
sion. The intention of the notice is
to get it into the minds Of the pa

Was Officially Ended Saturday-Ex-
ira Police Details Ordered for Today.

New York, Nov. 13-Oficially the
strike by the express drivers and
their helpers ended yesterday with
the vote of the Jersey City workers to
returne to their wagons tomorrow, but
there was unrest in union circles all
today and tonight the Jersey City po-
lice received word that the entire sit
uatlon may be reopened tomorrow
Men Insist on Wearing the Button.
The men insist dkl wearing union
buttons and the Jersey City police
have heard that the five transconti-
mental companies which employ them
will take back no man who bears q
button. Therefore extra police details
were ordered out for strike duty to-
morrow as usual.
If this information proves correct,
New York will find itself as much af-
fected as the city across the Hudson,
for the two sets of drivers have work
ed in harmony throughout the strike.
No Union Meeting Sunday.
There was no union meeting in this
city today but buttons have been dealt
out to all the men and they We're pre-
pared to wear them tomorrow. AS the
companies involved are the same on
both sides of the river it is supposed
their attitude toward union buttons
will goven alike in both cities.

When Secretary C. W. Foster of the

as to the attitude Of the companies
towards the union button, he seemed
much surprised.
IF that's so,'' he said, ''the fight will
start all over again."
