The Thomasville Tlmes-Enterprise seems to be having some trouble with some of the citizens of Thom asville who are urging the Times- Enterprise to “go after" some om- cials, but who are ready to stand baik when it comes time for them to lake their pla.e in the iirinj line. Thomasville is no exception in this matter, in fact, the same con ditions prevail throughout the coun try. There are always plenty of people who want the newspapers to pull their chestnuts out of the fire. And we wonder why it is. We do not believe in knocking and jumping on everything in sight.

Door lie. All newspapers are glad to keep posted on current events and the workings of everything that is of In terest to the people and when the paper sees that something Is wrong, and has, after investigation, found the condition to bo wrong, it is then time to do the jumping. A newspaper which is free, un trammelled and unmuzzled, and which has not been bought out, knows when to Jump and It will in variably do It and a newspaper of this class will not persecute or nag at anybody or anything to indulge a personal spite. Hardly a day passes that the Her ald is not advised to knock some thing or other, and the invariable admonition is, "Don’t mix me up In th!».” The Herald is always glad to hear accurate Information in connection with all matters of public Interest, but when it comes to the Jumping act, we will reserve the right to use our own judgment. And when the proper time comes, we will Jump, as we think we have shown without any shadow of doubt.—Waycross Herald. It is the duty of every voter in the city to Inspect both the Young's College and Mallette Heights and find out which is most available ror the purpose. l'KLLAGRA AXD ITS CAUSE. The Atlanta suffragette men are getting cold feet and of course the women can’t go along without them •o there wont be a Georgia repre- eentatlon. That there are thousands of cases of pellagra in the South and West today is not questioned. Medical statistics are too accurate for any doubt on that score.

We urge all good citizens to aid the officials in run ning down and capturing these per sistent fellows who are making diunkard of our boys, ruining our homes and breaking our mothers’ hearts. We are anxious to have a copy of a poem written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, entitled, “A Sign Board,” or something like that name, and any of our readers who may have it, will be greatly thanked if they will send a cony of it to “Uncle Si,” Box 100, Coolidge, Ga.

We venture the assertion that as many commercial travelers visit our little town as do any other of its size. I don’t think there Is ever a day but that some are here. Why? Because we are doin* the business, and they know a good thin.? when they see it . Well, the old man’s grey head is most too rambling today to try to write, so he will just quit. “UNCLE SI.” Mr. and .Mrs. Jedie Spence an 1 Mr. and Mr3.
