Gov. Harris says “the people gave and the
people „ook away. Blessed is the name of the
people of Georgia.” The old Governor is a
jrrano. old man and will always have the love of
the people of Georgia.
The Enterprise has had to eat crow in several
gubernatorial races, but it happens that we will
forego that this time. The most remarkable
thing about this race is that very few will have
to eat it, as nearly everybody was on the band
wagon.

To Our Customers:
The conditions this year are somewhat different to
what they usually are at this time of the year. Cotton is com
ing 1 in very much earlier than it ever has. Most of our paper
is not due until October first. However, if any of our custo
mers are in shape to pay us before the notes are due, we will
appreciate it, and will only charge interest up to the time
payment is made. A good many have already paid us be
fore it was due, and if others will follow suit, we will promise
to put the money in circulation immediately.

Governor Hugh M. Dorsey.
Tuesday’s primary brought forth many sur
prises, but in the case of Hugh M. Dorsey, who
swept the state, it was no surprise. The rumb
ling of the tidal wavs could be heard for many
weeks in advance, of its approach upon the state.
There was plenty of warning that a new leader
was upon the scene of battle, a man destined to
be a power in Georgia politics for many years.
Mr. Dorsey made a most remarkable race, and
while for the past two weeks, the press of the
state united in an effort to shape public sentiment
against the young leader, and combine the op
posite forces on the present executive, the peo
ple of Georgia had made up their minds, and
no power on earth could change them, and they
spoke in no uncertain tones as to their opinion
of this young man.
Georgia has a new leader today. The old
politicians of the state, Hoke Smith, Joe Brown,
and Tom Hardwick, might as well get their be
longings together and quietly slip away, while
the going is good. The vote at the polls last
Tuesday for young Dorsey spells more than the
mere election of a chief executive, it means the
birth of a new leader, who will have to be
reckoned with for many years to come.
And Mr. Dorsey has all the capabilities for
leadership. He has the executive ability, pos
sesses the traits of a diplomat, has courage and
ability, with plenty of character behind it all,
and is equipped in every way for the leadership
of the state, and we predict for this able Georg*-
ian a most brilliant career.

Judge Lankford’s Race.
One of the big disappointments of the pri
mary, to the people of Coffee County, and many
others in other counties, was the defeat of Judge
Lankford for Congress.
No man ever run for office in Coffee county
who received such loyal support as did Judge
Lankford. His home people stood by him
almost solid and were as loyal in their support
of him as they were for any man. He should
ever feel grateful to his fellow citizens (for their
loyalty and love, and we know that he does.
Judge Lankford's race has given him a recog
nition in the district and state that will be of
great'help to him in future years, and though
lie lost, he has von for himself a record for mak
ing a clean race, and leaves his name as it has
always been, without a stain or blemish.
