The regular edition of the Times- Knterprtec is not by any means a mid get but it conics in largely increased size to Its readers today. There are 22 page's in what we choose to call our “special industrial edi tion.” Be sure that you get them a!‘ for there is something worth read ing on every page. When yon con shier tiie great amount of labor in volved in getting out one of these/ special editions you will agree that the world Is moving. There thirty thousand more revolutions of the press made this t week than is usu ally the case. There are more than forty columns more reading matter sent out today then ordinarily greets you. A few months ago such an un dertaking here would have been be yond the range of human endeavor This week it has been done in our shop without interfering with the regular course of business in the slightest and without yelling for help from anyone, It’is a tribute to me chanical perfection and the modem methods of newspuper making. It is no small satisfaction to us that our facilities have been able to meet this unusual demand upon them, and thntf every line can bear the brand “made in Thomasville.” The issue has endeavored to mir ror faithfully the progress and pros perity of the town. It is the first time tiie present management has issued a trade edition. If they had been waiting for the proper timo that time is certainly here. The hol iday season is at hand and everybody is bubbling over with Joy which from a knowledge of a good The industrial edition could not help but he optimistic, even if it wanted to be otherwise, which, praise Providence, it does not. There is a text to be read between the lines in i edition and that text is “oppor- Ity.” There have been opportunities in the past and the men of whom you ad in this paper have taken advan tage of them. There will l»e greater opportunity in the rosy future for lic.se and other men. As previously announced more than ?n thousand copies of tills paper will be sent out. That means that fifty thousand people will read its pages. Many of these will ho strung* and residents of other cities. For them we have tried to gh'c a note of welcome that will draw them here. Most of tho edition will be read at home. That Is all right. It was factored at home and it is In tended to he consumed at home. The Times-Enterprlse and the busi ness men represented in tills edition do not ask any better audience than that afforded by their neighbors. The homo renders will learn some things about their town that they did not know before. For the first time In the history of all Thomasville the pictures and descriptions of Thomas- ville’s public buildings are all pre sented at one time. Than should prove valuable for reference. This is the first time that any spe cial publication has been issued em phasizing tho industrial side of life In ThoninsvHIo mid Thomas county. There have been pamphlets and book lets about Thoniasvillc and Thomas county as a winter resort. There have been advertisements of individual firms... But never before has the city made any attempt to acknowledge to themselves and to convince others that this is a splendid business and Industrial center.. .The theme of the special edition of the Timcs-Enter- prlso Is not >( Tliomasvillc, a health resort,” or Tliomusvllle, a pleasure place,” but Tliomnsvllle THE BEST TOWN IN THE STATE TO LIVE IN AND TO MAKE A LIVING IN.” This is what the new* Tliomnsvllle Is and what she must continue to be and that is what tills paper Iins tried to THE CLIFTON BUSINESS J.

The Tlmes-Enterpnso a as always maintained that a little opposition to those holding public office is a healthy thing. It makes fhe man opposed hustle around In n livlter manner In the Interests of his con* stitueuts and keeps him from think- ring that he has the warrantee deed on tho office. The proof of this Is sallows In the case of Congressman l-ewls of tho third. Dudley Hughes ’is out arter his scalp. Congress has •oeon In seslon three days and Lewis lass displayed more activity In the !nrlof lime than he ever did In all the j.liree years of his previous career, opposition Is the thing.

And Sam laughed. The old members of Congress call the newones -kids," They get that from the days of Tommie Hardwick, probably. It begins to look like a case of “strike and the world'strikes with you. Work and you work alone." Boston spent six million dollars last year for beans. Better this than booze. .
