Left Athletics.
Now for brief sketch of Jackson's
progress and record. He was EARNED
OUT by the Athletics in 1900 to Savan-
nah, Ca, where he made the highest
batting average in the South Atlantic
League. Ssh lii 1910 Jackson made an
other advance in the base ball world and
entered New Orleans as a regular field
err for the Pelicans. He set things on
fire again by his hard hitting and scored
another good mark by topping the South
ern League batting list. with percentage
of .3G6 in about 135 games.
He was secured from New Orleans by
the Cleveland club. Connie Mack OF the
Athletics had claim on him. but that
claim was relinquishedy In vtew OF the
trade of Bris Lord to the Athletics Tor
Reth Joe took part in twenty games
with Cleveland, getting an average OF
1857. That's going some for this twenty

at learning base ball lore and that's his
life work

PICK UP A PIANO
IT IS GIVEN AWAY
$3.50 Cote Piano Needn't Cost
You a Cent. Ask Your
Friends to Help.
Votes GIVEN TO CUSTOMERS
For Subscriptions, Job Printing
or Advertising at The Enter
prise Office or Merchan-
disc at The Bazaar.

That advertising is now science
is again demonstrated practically to
the buying public of this section by
the wonderful advertising system
now employed by the enterprising
business of The Bazaar, which is
going to give away absolutely FREE
to some of their customers on De-
cember 26, 1911, the beautiful Cote
Piano which is now on exhibition at
their store The piano sells for $3.50
and is a high class instrument in
every respect. Just think of it! A
$4,000 Piano to be Given Away!
A few years ago, if a merchant was
to do such a thing he would have
been considered a fit subject for an
asylum, but conditions have chang
ed, yet in the face of the enormous
sum spent in advertising the fact
of The Bazaar giving away a $3.50
piano is stupendous undertaking,
and it clearly demonstrates their
desire to be always up to and a
little ahead" of the spirit of the
times.
Every purchaser of ST worth of
goods from any department of their
store will receive a coupon good for
100 votes on the piano. For every
So subscription to the Enterprise
5000 votes will be given, also 100
votes for each Dollar paid on adver-
Using or job printing. The person
presenting the largest number of
votes on December 18th will receive
the piano absolutely free. No favors
will be shown and every person will
receive an equal chance. The repu-
tation enjoyed by The Bazaar for
square dealing" insures this fact.
We think the buying people will ap-
preciate this extremely liberal offer
of Mr.. R. l. Maffett, and we predict
a lively scramble for votes. When
making purchases, or paying for
subscriptions, advertising or job
printing, ask for votes.

For Two States OF Georgia.

According to a Waycross cores
pendent, the representatives in the
legislature from Ware county is
preparing to offer a resolution to
cut our State in twain, believing
that there should be a North Geor-
gia and a South Georgia as well as
two Carolinas and two Dakotas.
We, agree with the Valdosta
Wines that the gentleman from
Ware" will encounter much opposi-
ton in his own section of the State.
In our rapidly developing Southern
counties there is of course pride
in old Georgia and in all of it from
Nibkajack to Tybee Light and from
Richmond's sand to Lowndes Ocean
Pond; but North Georgia will be a
trife startled to learn the chief
reason for South Georgia's opposi-
ton, as revealed by the Times which
says;
To divide it would simply limit
the territory which South Georgia
is going to control in future. 1t
would limit the territory over which
some good South or middle Georgia
town will be the capital city in the
days to come. There might have
been some sense in a resolution like
that few years ago when this
section of the State was nothing
more than the tail to the North
Georgia kite, but now since posi-
tons are about to change, we think
it well enough for the South Georgia
kite to have a tail to it. Therefore,
we want to keep Atlanta, Rome,
Dalton and the country around
those cities in Georgia"
AS the statistics showing South
Georgia's rapid development in pop
ulation, wealth and industries, in
dictate there is much more of sound
bases than of mere boasting in this
prediction.

VETO OF THE CITY COURT BILL.

Governor Smith found it neces.
sary under the circumstances to veto
the bill creating the City Court of
Marietta, but his course meant no
dissatisfaction with either Mr.. Clay
as Solicitor or Mr.. Northcutt as
Judge. He recognized their ability
and fitness for the positions, but he
felt that the people of the county
were entitled to vote on the ques-
ton of establishing the Court. In
addition there were serious defects
in the bill, which the Governors
legal training at once disclosed to
him. We publish in full his reasons
for the veto and they are unanswer-
able. They also show the paintak-
ing care with which Governor Smith
disposes of even purely local mat
ter. With hundreds of new laws to
be read and passed upon he could
easily have shifted the responsible
ty upon the legislature, but he did
not do so and we think his course
will be generally approved. If the vo-
tiers favor a City Court they will
tsill be able to establish it and by
taking more time will be able to so
frame the measure as to avoid the
defects so forcibly pointed out by
Governor Smith. With three terms
of the Superior Court, however, it
is doubtful if the people will favor
another court. At any rate they
are entitled to be shown all the adj
Vlntages and the cost.

he went to the war when a lad of

self the poem so full of tender senti-
ment, for there is very deep senti-
mental side to your Uncle Gid. The
day was an especially pleasant one to
