Benevolent Society

The entertainment at the Court
House Tuesday night for the Benev-
olent Society did not get the patron
age it deserved.
Prof Stewart and Mrs. Livingston
acted their part admirably.
The program as published in the
Enterprise was carried out to the
letter and was greatly enjoyed by
the rather thin audience.
The ladies of the Society are
greatful to Prof. Stewart, Mrs. Liv-
ingston and Miss Julia Prentiss for
their efforts to please and to make
the entertainment a success. They
were simply unfortunate in the
selection of the date, following so
many entertainments and meetings
The Enterprise is deeply interested

regard it as one of the most useful
organizations in the city. They
have done much good work in this
community and deserve encourage
ment from every good citizen.

One of the longest nights of the

when total eclipse of the sun will

forget the eclipse occurs tomorrow
(Friday) shortly after 5 o'clock. for
if you forget you may think some
thing else is happening along about
that time.

Race Question Up In Congress
Trying to Prevent the Intermar-

Washington, D. c., April "a
Two members of the Georgia delega-
ton are about to involve the house
in a discussion of the race question,
a problem that always causes en-
barrassment in the national capitol.
The district committee intends to
give favorable report to the bill
introduced by Representative Hard
wick prohibiting the intermarriage
of blacks and whites in the District
of Columbia.
The subcommittee on public
buildings and grounds charged with
the task of remodeling the house
restaurant proposes to include
among it's recommendations one
providing that the restaurant hall
be used exclusively for whites. Ne
groes are now permitted to eat in
that portion of the restaurant
marked public" although they
have never seriously abused the
privilege. The subcommittee that
will raise this issue is headed by
Representative Roddenberry of the
second Georgia district.

Memorial Day Observed.


Memorial day yesterday wasygen-
orally observed in this city; business
was practically at a standstill. The
exercises at the county court house
in the evening were not as largely
attended as might have been ex-
pected.
After the close of the program as
published, the cemetery was visited
by quite a number and the graves
streWn with flowers.
The fact that there are very few
Confederates buried in the cemetery
at this place detracts from the gen.
eral interest in the occasion.

Isn't This Going To Ex-
tremeS?

J. S. Berger, the man who has
been trying to pull off aviation
stunts in several places in South
Georgia, has been arrested by a
postffice inspector, charged with
using the mails with intent to de-
fraud, says the Cuthbert Leader.
His alleged crime consists in claim
ing that he has the worlds greatest
aviators under his control.
At first glance it seems that Ber-
gers claim might be difficult to
substantiate in court, if one were to
judge by his experiences at Way
cross, Valdosta and Fitzgerald. But
possibly his aviators made better
records at other places where there
was more Cor less) hot air.
If Jesse Mercer, of Fitzgerald, had
dined on one of the biplanes as he
threatened to do if it would not fly,
we should suspect that, suffering
from indigestion, he had put the in
spector on to Berger to even up
matters. But Mercer and the flying
machine both made narrow, escape.
But speaking more seriously,
doesn't it seem that Uncle .. Sans
agent is going rather far to arrest a
mana flying man at that-for do
ing a little boasting by letter or
circular? Berger may really believe
what he claims. We have seen a
man with an old plug who actually
thought he had fine horse. And
his aviatorS may be all right. We
incline to the opinion that the gov
eminent is going to extremes in
constituting the postal laws. If this
tendency be not checked it may
lead to the Weekly Tooter,s being
barred from the mail because j.
Einstein has advertised in its col
ums that he is selling goods below
cost.
Or Chollie Saphead may beTrin-
dicted for writing Maym Giggles
that she is the only girl The ever
loved, when it can be clearly proven
that he made the same statement
to thirty seven other girls.
Thus it seems that there is danger
of Uncle Sans going too far in his
zeal to protect the dear people. He
may curtail the freedom of the press
and interfere with pursuit of hap
piness. He should not be so9pater-
nalistic as to endeavor to force
morality.
While not advocating prevarica-
ton, we hold that a man ought to
be allowed to do a little plain lying
by mail without subjecting himself
to arrest. (This" lis no allusion to
Berger)
We agree with Congressman Viii
liam Schley Howard that the post
office department needs investiga-
ton, and possible ought to have
brakes applied in certain quartes.
