The City Primary Election
As indicated by the cfficial returns in to days Leader Enterprise
a large majority of the voters expressed their preference for a liberal‘
construction of the Prohibition law and the continuarce of granting
licenses to near beer saloons by the city council. Mayor Drew W.
Paulk received such an overwhelming vote, more than three to one
against his sole opponent Mr. L. O. Tisdel, who represented the No-
License ticket in the election, that his election can be taken as a con
clusive endorsement of his position on the beer question in the city.
Mr. Paulk’s successful business administration during the several
terms that he served in the same capacity, contributed to some extent
to his elcction at this time, The ten citizens who had offered for al
dermanic honors were representative men in the various walks of life
and the five successful candidates, aside from the main issue upon
which they were elected, will make acceptable aldermen to all of the
citizens, as their aggregate abilities, led by Mayor Paulk, will assure
the city of a continuation of an economic administration of the City’s
affairs, We shall not trouble our readers with a post mortem exami
nation as to the causes that contributed to the defeat of the five excel
lent Gentlemen, representing the prohibition sentiment, but can assure
the public that everything was done by those in charge of the election
machinery to give them the fairest election ever held under any cir
cumstances in the city.. The voters expressed their preference un
hampered and of their own free will and it becomes the duty of all
good citizens to lay aside prejudice and ill feeling and cooperate with
the administration to make Kitzgerald greater and better. There is
nothing gained by suiking.
Petrograd Threatened
It looks very much as if the Russian army, if it escapes, will be
cut off from Petrograd and will be forced back toward Moscow. We
refer to an army holding itself together—not to troops that may be
taken from it. Soldiers may be taken from the army that the Germans
are now forcing back and be sent on trains to the defense of Petro
grad, but the army considering it as an organization is today further
from Petrograd than the Germaus are, ard they are cutting off more
and more of its northward line of retreat.
If the Teutons take either Russian capital anl follow the iine of
least resistance they will take Petrograd. They would be much better
situated at Pet-ograd than at Moscow. |
A day er two ago the Times-Union said that in this railroad age
the Germans woulc not find it impossible as Napoleon did to provision‘
armies in the heart of Russia, but expressed the opinion that they
would need a million men to guard the railroads in their rear, This
would be true of an army at Moscow, but not of one in Petrograd,
The Germans control the Baltic and it would afford them a means of
communication that would not have to be protected by the army. The
Germen navy would keep open this line of communication. During a
part of the year ice in the Gulf of Finland would make it impossible
for vessels togo to Kronstadt unless the GGermans should adopt some
meaas of keeping the navigation open. This has never been done all
the year, but it will not do to speak of impossibilities in connection
with German military operations,
The fact that the Germans are already about half way between
Warsaw and Petrograd furnishes the reason we corsider good for
s ispecting that they will attempt the capture of Russia’s capital city,
D :spite this we doubt whether they will presstheir invasion of Russia
much further. They probably will not do it unless thev see a strong
prospect of forcing Russia into a separate peace. Otherwise it is
much more probable that they will transfer their armies to the west
anl bring over powering force to bear against France and Italy,
J Idging the future by the past it looks as if they could attack either
aad that the other would sit still and await its doom after its ally had
b en crushed.—Fla, ITimes Union.
Why A Farm Demonstrator Is Worth While l
At a meeting in Baldwin county the other day to decide whether
t' e farm demonstration agent’s work there would be oontinued for |
snother year, one of the farmers made the somewhat amazing state-'
vi nt that “‘nobody in Baldwin county should be farming who did not
i ow how to build up the land and grow better crops.” If there is.
'l need of building up the land and growing better crops in Baldwin |
county after all the years since farmers first began to growjerops there
ten there evidently is need of somebody to teM the farmers how to
wweet that need. |
Evidently there is somebody farming there who doesn’t know all
THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE WEDNESNAY AUG. 11 1915
he ought to know ahout tte business of farming. Some of-the farm
ers don’t know all they ought to know about building up the land, else
it would already have been built up until it was remarkably rich. And
they don’t know all they might know about growing better crops, else
Baldwin county would produce much more to the acre under cultiva
tion than any other county in thestate. If the farm demonstrator
can help the farmers to improve toeir land ani crops he is worth the
little that he costs. It isn’t surprising that some of the speakers at
the meeting were farmers who had fornd the demonstrator worth
while, who actually could point out ways in which he had heiped them
to make their farms more profitable.
There is not a county in the state where a demonstrator could
not do some good and that' hasn’t some farmers who might be told
sormething about how to make their soil richer and improve their yield
per acre, The results obtained by corn club boys, who have in many
instances made twice as much money from an acre as their fatheis
from the same bit of land is evidence of that. And the fact that so
many farmers want the services of a demonstrator is evidence aplenty
that they kuow there are sowe things they can yet be told about their
own business.—Exchange.
We Should Whip Both or Neither
If we fight Germany for its attack on the lives of our citizens who
ventured on belligerent passenger ships laden with ammunition, it
seems that we will also have to fight Great Britain for its interference
with non-contraband goods to neutral countries. Both countries have
returned practically the same answer to the same protest, As a mat
ter of theory we can find plenty of ground to standon if we are just
obliged to go to war, much more ground perhaps than we could fina
to stand on after we got into it. But as a matter of prudence and old
fashioned common sense, if we will just keep our persons and our be
longings away from the fire, there will be little danger of them getting
burned, insurance or no insurance, It we have gotto go to war to
satisfy the jingoes who won’t fight and the bloodthirsty citizens who
will fight, let us be consistant and lick both England and Germany to
the queen’s and the Kaiserine’s taste. The United States will never
find a time when either of these countries have more irons in the fire
‘than they have at present.—Elberton Star.
The ending of a full year of war has brought out in the newspa
pers sumaries that stagger the human mind. With the roll of the
dead made up of 2,225,000 names and 8,770,000 men wounded in the
twelve months, and with $15,500,000,000 spent to producesuch results
the cost of war in lives and money is seen to be too great to permit
any one to think lightly of America becoming involved.
The publihed reviews coincide in admitting that Germany has
made such progress that it should win, but they goon to say that
Germany can’t win because England can’t permitit But more will
depend on England’s power than on her wishes, as is now realized,
judging from dispatches frow the British capital The outcome will
certainly depend upon whether the Allies stick together, and latest
developments in Poland have raised a large doubt as to how long Rus
sia will persist in a losing war. .
Except in the region of Riga, where Germans evidently have
been checked, the Germans and Austrians still move forward.
Their progress is not unhindered, however, for the Muscovites con
tinue to fight vigorous rear guard battles,
Lomza, the Russian stronghold on the Narew, has been cap
'tured, the fortress of Kovno is threatened, and Vilner, 225
miles northeast of Warsaw, is being evacuated by the ecivilian
population.
The Teutonic drive eastward and southward to the nor th of
Warsaw, directly east of that city and to the South on the east
bank of the Vistula, still is in' progress, whilein the region be
tween the Vistula and the Buz and along th 2 Vieprz the Russians
continue to fall back before the oncoming Teutonic allies.
Sir John French, British commander in the West, announces
the evacution of a slight portion of the terrain captured near Hooge
Belgium, Monday. This he says, makes no material difference in
the British line as the other captured positions are being held.

’ For many moons you have
‘probably heard from parties in
terested that there is just as
good baseball stuff here at home
as we can get elsewhere. We
hope this is' so as do all other
resident fans. This claim will
be given the acid test Friday.
Barfield and his Outlaws, all
home boys except the pitcher,
and he expects to be a home boy
if he can get the right kind of a
job here, will battle for honors
against the first team which has
proved its strength during the
last three weeks by copping
everything. The first team is
the line up which beat Hawkins
ville decisively, Eufaula and Una
dilla shamefully and gave the
Indians, who have defeated the
strongest, a strenuous run for
their money. These two teams
will fight to a finish on Friday
the thirteenth, game to be called
by Umpire Wilkinson at four o’-
clock. This will most likely the
last time the two clubs go into
action this season so come out
and show your loyalty to them
and your appeciation of the man
who built the ball park. ‘

Backache Is Discouraging *
But Not So Bad If You
Know How to Reach the
Cause
Nothing more discouraging than
& constant backache, Lame when
you awaken, pains pierce you when
‘you bend or lift. It’s hard to work
or to rest. Backache often indicates
‘bad kidneys. Fitzgerald people
‘recommended Doan’s Kidney Pulls.
Read this case:
A. Kratz, 506 W. Magnolia St.,
Fitzgerald, says: “I suffered from
lame back and distressing pains
across my kidneys. It hurt me
every time 1 stooped and if I sat_
down for a while, I couldn’t get
up. My back ached nights and 1
didn’t rest well. Doan’s Kidney
Pills completely cured me.”
Over six years later Mr. Kratz
said: ‘‘Doan’s Kidney Pills cured
me and lam still - glad to recom
mend them.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Kratz had. Foster.
