THEIR MAY BE SILVER IN
THIS CLOUD.

Reports from every section of
the south indicate that much dam
age has been wrought to all grow
ing crops by the cold weather
of Monday and Tuesday of this
week.
Reports from authoritative
sources seem to indicate that the
fruit is not damaged to any great
extent in Georgia; but this, prob
ably, is more a matter of conjec-
ture than of fact. The Enterprise
sincerely hopes that Georgia s
great and growing fruit industry
has escaped the damage that ev-
eryone would naturally think
would result from such weather
as that of Monday and Tuesday,
hut We are afraid fuller investiga-
ton will show considerably more
damage than is now reported.
1t is Just possible that the back
set to the cotton crop, which was
Just getting out of the ground,
may prove more of blessing
than calamity. Prices last year
were splendid, and. as is always
the case, gave the planter a great
impetus to put every available
acre in the fleecy this. year, and
the reports Of ususually large sales
of fertilizer in Georgia was a har,
blnger Of a tremendous crop this
fall, which might have been So
large as to give the price of the
STAPLE a downward tendency.
Be that as it NAV. the damage
done young cotton the first of this
week is going to eurtail the crop
to a considerable extent. and rec
ord-breaking prices next fall will
CO airlv result.
The doctrine, what is. is for the
hest" can be anplied TO advan-
taee, any way, in promoting an
optimistic view Of condition for
which no man is responsible.

WRITES ON REGISTRATION
LAW.

Editor DELLA Star:
In your paper Of last week is a
letter from our representative,
Hon. j. A. j. Henderson, stating
that he would use his influence to
have the new registration law re-
pealcd or amended. His PROPOSE
ton to change the law before it
has been given a fair trial, it seems
to me, does not show that Judicial
temperament which the lawmaker
should possess. He passes judg-
ment upon the law before the evil
denee is all in, Wouldn t it be bet
! ter to Keep a clear head while the
railroad organs and the politicians
blow off their venom, give the law
a fair trial, and then condemn, if
had, Or approve, i good9
| Time was when we didn't have
auy registration law. When the
law was first passed years ago, a
number Of good lnen forgot to reg
lister and so We're disfranchised in
that election. But because good
men all over the state were de-
lprived of their vote, did the legis-
lature take impulsive, premature
action and repeal the law? Not q
bit of it. And did those honest
voters who faile dto register re-
fmain disfranchisedq Bless your
life, no! Before the next election
rolled around, they had placed
their names on the registration list
and were read to vote with the
rest of the boys.
| Suppose the S. A. L. train leaves
| DELLA at 8 a. m. and the schedule
is changed to 8 a. m. Perhaps s
dozen people will be left the frs
week because they failed to no
tice the published change and ar
rived at the depot too late. Now
just because several people fail tt
reach the train in time, would Mr.
, Henderson go before the railroad
commission and have the ole
, schedule restored? OF course hi

The COUNTY PRIMARY.

On the eve of the county prl-
mary unusual interest centers In
the matter of registration.
The work had been done well
and faithfully by the county tax
collector, and the lists showed q
very full and complete reglStra-
ton.
The books were turned over to
the registrars and arrangements
had been made to publish the
lists.
MIR. Will w. Bruner, Of the En-
terprise, took charge Of the books
containing the list OF l53|th dis
trict Monday morning, the day ct
the fire, and was making fair pro-
gress in setting the names IN
type when the fire suddenly
changed the whole program and
the printers escaped without the
books or any Of the other valu-
able papers or property.
Fortunately several copies of
the list (names only had been
made, and the tax collector made
a certified copy to the registrars
on which they based their work OF
purging and correcting.
The lists are in good form, and
the most complete and
correct registration in the coun-
tvs history.
