There are thirteen candidates for the three new places on the court of Appeals. Among this number, we have Judge Walter George, of Vienna, right at our very door, and we hope that Coffee county will give him their vote. He is one of the ablest, jurists in Georgia, and an up right man in every respect.

REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO., Winston-Salem, N. C. THE RAILROAD STRIKE. What seemed to be a very dark cloud in the question of the proposed railroad strike, has clarified to some extent this morning, although the matter has not been definitely settled yet. It is simply pushed ahead of us a few' weeks, whiie congress is trying to adjust the differences. It was scheduled to take place next Monday morning at 6 o’clock, and preparations for the acute situation it would bring about, was being made and is still be made, in an effort to forstall in some degree the untold suffering the strike would bring on. It would probably have lasted a week or ten days, and there is no estimating the results of it until we have met it face to face. Ju>t what the final outcome would have been, and what it will be, should congress fail in their efforts, no one can predict. The Enterprise don’t like to be pessimistic, and we generally are not, but to our minds this is a very serious condition of affairs, and when it starts, it is iike a snow ball, gets bigger as it rolls along. Complication after complication may set in, other unions may join in or follow suit, and the old threadworm story of capital and labor war, may be at our very door. It is the opinion of many far sighted men that should the strike take place, then it will be a fight to the finish. Some figure it out that this big strike question has grown to such stupendous proportions in the last decade, that the climax has got to come sooner or later, and it might as well be settled now and for all time. It is one of the great questions of the day. It is a problem to be solved, and while we tremble at the thought of a tv.nl experiencing it, it is a foregone conclusion that a final settlement must be reached some day in the near future, and now is about as good a time to settle it as any other. President Wilson has acted his part nobly and used every effort in trying to bring about a settlement, but it seems that he is powerless. Congress may do something today or tomorrow, but it now looks like they will have to pass it up. In the meantime, every enterprise is making preparations for the worst, but with our lights all trimmed and burning, it will be a dismal hour for America. u We never could figure out how these candid ates could make their rounds should strikecome. No trains aiui no gas, but you can bet they would find the voter, if they had to crawl. 0 Jet Bowden says that he will sweep the dis trict, beating his nearest opponent over 3000 votes. Jet will carry his home county in a storm, and he may get 3000 in the district. 0 They are all after Hugh Dorsey. That is the candidates. The voters will make their decision on next Tuesday week, and we believe, fom reports from all sections, that he will sweep the state, similar to the time Hoke Smith run away with Howell, Estill, et al.
