OCTOBER HERE.
October is here; I It Is a month cel.
ebrated In song and story. You will
Mod college lads,, who all of their
days will warble the praise of brown
October ale, etc., etc. The most en
ticing thing abbot October, not ex
cluding the cooler nights, and keen
er days. Is the shiny October dollar.
Now, Is the time to go after the (fol
iar.
There is no reason why this Oc
tober of 1906 should not be the piost
prosperous In the history of the town
of Thomasvllle. The city and the
county, the cttlsens of both are on a
sound financial basis. Some tottery
concerns have been weeded out, and
their absence is a blessing, tor they
added nothing to the fabric finan
cial. October has noted an advance
In the price Of cotton. Business Is
brisk. The town is preparing to
pave the streets, is now extending
sewer hnd water mains, brick build
ings are replacing frame shanties.
Jkel'e ar* a down applicant* tor
qvery six vicant house*. Prosperity
Is in the air. Hurrah for October.
Let us make It the best October in
the history of the town and" county.
The news columns of this paper
yesterday morning carried an inter
esting account of an Incident at Tiff
ton. A very small affair was mag
nified by trie tongue of rumor into
an assault and lynching. Some,of
the South Georgia newspapers (lid
not take the trouble to Investigate
the report and printed stories of the
affair In Its exaggerate^ shape. By
’.his they did a great. Injustice’to the
teople of Tlfton, and Yan ttie risk of
Inflaming public opinion, already ex
cited enough. Now Is ttie Smti' to
he careful.
The sympathies of the editorial
fraternity will go out to Editor F. J.
Wind, of tj)e Cairo Messenger, In
the Iobs of his aged mother. Those
who know him as we do, realise the
tender devotion that mnt/ed his con
duct toward her, and know that the
blow Is a heavy one. All our sym
pathy Is with him, and our only re
gret Is that we cannot do more to
allay his grief, than proffor mere
words of condolence.
We should be delighted to see the
dominant political faction In Geor
gia pass a law prohibiting the .sale of
liquor to negroes. It Is no more
unfair than the proposition that the
negro shall .not vote, to which they
stand committed, Is almost ar easy
of accomplishment and would do fhr
more good. Let Governor 8mlth dis
franchise the sale of liquor to an
black men.
Well, we sleeted Hoke yesterday,
but he will not take' office until th*
last Satarday In June, after the leg
islature meets and declares the re
sult.
Thomas county went against the
court of appeals and Ben Hill county.
The sentiment of the voters seemed
to be “We have enough judge* and
enough counties.”
This Is the season for turning over
old leaves. The new leaves have
their turn about the first of Janu
ary.
Editor Tlmes-Enterprlse.
I ask space In your paper to say
a few words to the cotton growers
and cotton pickers of Thomas coun
ty about the labor conditions in
South Georgia. What |n the world
Is, the matter with labor, espec'elly
with the negro of Thomas county?
> Negroes Scorn Work.
Let me tell you how the negroes
of Thomasvllle treat us, when we go
to town begging and pleading with
them to go to the country and pick
our cotton. We promise to carry,
them out and bring them back each
week, and pay from 55 to 65 cents
per hundred for all they pick. Yet
some of them will have some .-.ort of
an cxcuso, and others will laugh you
to scorn and talk'like this: "Why
we doesn't pick cotton, we doesn't
have to pick cotton'. White man,
that hpt sun out there will make us
sick. We Isn't used to that hot sun
like Jtou i». Us Uveeln town."
Well, 4 'wejet,tnad and In order to
avoid appearing before Plt.man or
Bibb or some other officer we drive
back on empty wagon* Just like we
came.
Enforce the Vagrancy Law.
jflfow let me tell you how the while
people treat us, the officers of Thom-
asvUle. We have a vagrancy law.
Why !* th world is it not enforced'’
I am satisfied that there are hund
reds of roftroes In Thomasvllle »»id
other towns In Thomas county, pIbo
white people that have not onttigh
money to keep them off the vagrancy
list What do the people l*i the
towns want with the negro /hen lie
has no money, and will not vork?
Thii Is something I would he glad to
know.
The negro or white man who Is
physically able to do work, but will
not work and canot show means for
aa honest living Is not wanted in
Thomas county or any other coruty
In Georgia. I hold that the dirty of
the officers of Thomasvllle and
Thomas county is to pay stricter at
tention to this matter than ever be
fore. It will benefit the gathering of
the present crop if nothing else.

Into Righteousness.
Let There be Revivals Now of Good
Health.
Let us resolve that wj will bo
healthy, that we will dmf from our
system all vestige of disease. Let ua
take this subject into our hearts and
if we think qpon it seriously w shall
discover that life without health Is
a pain Instead of a joy, that ill health
dwarfs our manhood and limits our
possibilities. -
There is one thing universally de
sired and it Is something most peo
ple might possess If the voice of ex
perience and the dictates of com
mon sense and reason were more
generally heeded.
Everyone wants good health and
nearly every one might have it by
using Dillingham’s Plant Juice to
keep the appetite good, the digestion
and asilnillation perfect, elimination
free, equalized and strong, nerve3 en
ergized and all organs and function?
of the body ton*»d to the requirements
of the strenuous life.
Weakness Is not natural; sickness
especially chronic diseases, should
never be; people should never be:
people should never let themselves
run down In vital force and gradual
ly drift Into the sorry conditions of
chronic. Invalidism. Such a course
Is a lasting regret, the greatest-mis
take of their lives, a sin against salf
and society.
We have no moral right to be sick
when ways and means to attain
health are at hand. It Is a sin N>
trlr’o with art fulness and happiness,
to deprive others, to put ofT from day
to day matters of such vital Impor
tance as the attaining and preser
vation of health and efficiency.
He kind to the only body you have,
keep It in repair so as to enjoy It
while you may, "for when you nr*
desd, you are a long time dead."
