“Thomasville is growing and every-

tioner recently. ‘‘I was in Brunswick
the other day and several people remark
ed upon the fact that ThoznasviUe was
acquiring a new reputation as one of the
best and growingest towns in Georgia.
It was not ever thus, and the Time»-En-

ing previous ideas. Let the good work
go on!”
' Indeed we will let the good work go
on. There is a love song- that says,

VICE PRESIDENT DISMUKE.
“There has been considerable talk
about a southern man for vice-president,
on both tickets,” said a politician yester
day. “The Atlanta Hews has mentioned
Byron B. Bower, the bold bad boy from
Bainbridge, as a Democratic candidate.
The Atlanta Constitution has mentioned
Walter Johnson as a vice presidential
running mate foy Teddy. I want the
Times-Enterprise to win fame by sug-
gesting Frederick D. Dismuke, Jr., as
the man for-the place.”
Actuated by a sincere desire to raise
the morale and personnel of the Repub
lican ticket, wo make this nomination
with'pleasure—“Teddy and Freddy”—-is
a slogan that would sweep the south.
We are afraid Booker would not agree,
jbut we think our white friends could
overcome his opposition.”

'' NOT A GAME OF CHANCE.
The Times-Enterprise in seeking for 3
some scheme for the mutual pleasure -
and profit of itself and its readers do- j
cided upon the dot contest, which it ore- ,
sen ted yesterday morning.
It was influenced to no small degree in
its choice of this scheme by a desire to ,
avoid any gambling device or game of ,
chance. This is not an apology for the ,
dots. It is merely to call your attention ,
to the fact that in the dot contest the
feature of chance has been so far as pos
sible eliminated.
Of course there is a certain amount of
chance that adds zest to the contest.
There is the chance that your count, may
reach the office sooner than your n< igh-
bor’s. There is a chance that he may
miss one dot—and the organ. Bnt in
. the main the contest depends upon skill,
patience and perseverance. And tire
twenty dollar prize we guarantee for
every correct count, ought to be a pow
erful incentive for you to exercise these
three virtues.

Chris whipping, the Georgia legislature,
or thq Cotton crop, bnt of “left hooks”
“short-arm jabs” and “solar plexuses.”
