Editor Tlmce-Enterpriae:—Aa a pen
alty for yoor error‘ In yeaterday'a paper
aa to the prioe paid for the new Hospital
site I claim a little apace lnwhloli to
eet thinga atraight. 1 hope that the
pablio will not seriously think that we
hare thirty-lire, thousand dollars to
apend. The prioe paid la twpnty-foar
boadrad. Thia will make a big bole in
our available funds but the Board felt
that a apacioua and well located ehe
waa of the highest Importance to the
mooeaa of the Hoepital,
Plana for.the new Hospital are nearly
perfected and 1^ la expected that the
building ytll soon be under way. The
plan contemplates three bnildings. an
administration building and two ward
buildings, connected by enclosed par*
sage ways. Every thing will be flnt
class abd strictly in accordance with the
requirements of modern hospital sci
ence.
Meanwhile the old hoepital la doing
good work. Its efliuienoyhaa just been
greatly increased by tbe arrival of Mias
Tates who takea charge aa head nurae.
-Mlaa Tatea ia biglily qualified for her
portion. She haa had ten yean expe
rience In the b6epitala of Birmingham
Ala. ^ppaaooU Fla. and in private nurs
ing betides taking a post graduate
oourte in the Hew York Fotyolinio,
She comet with the very highest recom
mendation! and the hoepital ia fortunate
in securing her aerricee.
How it only remains for tlie citizens
of ThomiaviUe to give the Hoepital
their liberal support.

Since the resignation ot Mr. J. L.

The salary attached to the position
of secretary ia by no means munificent,

TALKS FOR MONEY.
What Tha LongOlstance Phona Telia
For 49 Days Amounted To.
Th e old adage says that money talks.
There is also euoh a thing aa talk money,
and the-telephone people know what
tide is. 'Telephone tolls form a good
way 10 judge the business of a commu
nity, for people are not ao fond of pay
log over coin just for the pleasure of
hearing their own voice, or some
Mend’s over the wire—unless of eonrae
it ia a lore ease, when all signs fall.
Thomasville ia the biggest melon
market in 8onth Georgia. Tbe froit-
bovers come here In large nnmbere and
they(do the business too. Jnst how
much they do is indicated by the re
ceipts of the long distance telephone
during the fruit season. I Manager
Stone ot the Southern B«U Telephone
Company daring the fruit season from
Jane ISth to Ang. 1st took in more than
$2000. This is an average of $30 a day.
It refers only to the long distance tolls,
and has nothing to do with the local
basilicas. Of coarse'nearly everybody
in Thomasville has' a telephone and
eight girls are kept busy answering the
calls-in the central office. j

We have often heard of jay legislators.
Thomas county had 4 “J” candidate
for the legislature yesterday. They
were J. B. Rountree. J. F. Mitchell, J.
. Singletary and J. B. War. Bntthe
J" stands for judgment, justice, and
other good qualities not poaeaaed by
the ordinary jay legislators. Three
chaere for Thomas county’s J legislative
trio. 1 Onr only regret is -that ajl four
couldn’t go..
The following is going the rounds of
the psess credited to Hon. William J.
Bryan:
Every bit of information I have been
able to gather indicates the success of
the Democrat!* ticket. I want to see
the ticket elected, and intend to do
everything in my power to bring abont
that result. I believe the elevation, of
Jndge Parker will bring about a reorga
nization of the Democratic party. He
will pat an end to imperialism. I am
also confident that in four years be Will
pntan end to the military swaggering
spirit tliat has been incolsted and
fostered by Rooaeveli.’’
another- column of this week's
paper will be found expressions of opin- -
ions from five of the most prominent
men In tlie United State* who are also
among the most prominent winter resi
dents of Thomasville. Each of thorn is
a ■"«" of wealth, col tore and navel, and
they know whereof they speak. They tell
of the advantage: of ThomasvUle. and
they speak in ho uncertain terms. Their
words do not have 'the automatic ring
of patent medicine endorse menu ground,
ont by machines. Their words oome
from the heart and they are anrh com
mendation aa money conld not boy or
flattery wheedle.
The mere fact that men and women
of this character oome to ThomasviUe-
when the resorts of tlie entire world are
open to them, shows that ThomasviUe’e.
climatic claims are not empty and
that we have the goods here ready for
delivery.
The explanation offered by Mr. Wade
ells the story,“South Georgia and Oar-
olina are too cold and bleak, and not
sofficientlr green in tbe winter to be
attractive. Middle Florida is too hnmid
and not bracing enough for outdoor ex
ercise.’’ TbomaevUle presents the de-
Ughtfni mean between these extremes in
winter, and in summer it has every ad
vantage of North Georgia with bat few
of the gnats and moeqnitoes and none
o( tbe slopping over of the thermometer
that is characteristic of Florida.
The effort that resulted in the secur
ing of these testimonies should never be
passed without a word of commenda
tion. The committee that are compiling
the ThomasvUle booklet. 1 are getting
abont their work in a manner' that is
scientific and that wiU result in vast
good There are hundreds ot people aU
over the north who know Mr. Wade.
Mr. Mores. Mr. Jones, Mr. Metcalfe and
Mr. Stranbridge. They have confidence
in them andswhen in donbt they wiU
take thetradvlse.lt is merely aqnesllinof
getting these opinions before the north
ern public. The committee is adopting
tlie proper means.
WORK AHEAD.
Tlie Times-Enterprw© takes pleasure
in extending its heartiest congratula
tions to the county officials who wero
chosen Friday by the suffrage of their
whito fellow citizens nt the polls. AU
lire men of experience iu busiuess and
official life. They are not now or un*
tried men. Their neighbors know' them,
hare tried them, and are satisfied with,
them. That so ? many of them
should be returned without opposition
is a high compliment, and an nnnsnal
oompiiment, bnt also a deserved com
pliment. We do not believe that there
is a betier set of county officials in
Georgia than Thomas has. This is as
it should bo for Thomasville is the best
county in tlie state. ,
There is much work ahead for these
county officials. Not work only in their
official capncitieH.’m macing out reports,
fliliug out blavfrv, etc., but in looking
after the larger and better welfare of
the comity.
They are placed in administrative
capacities by their neighboti and they
fall short of their full duty if they do
not take an active interest in every
movement for the county’s good.
K^ecially is this true of the county
commissioners.
The men liave never failed to meaaore
up all deihandA made upon them. They
will not fail to do so in the fatnre, and
the prospects .'or the grand old county
are better thaq ever. t
