It appears that the Sunday Schools of the
city ha\*e taken on new life. New classes in all
churches have been organized, and there is
more interest in that branch of the church work
than has been in a long time.
The Richey meeting is over, and it is not
for us to offer any kind of criticism. The
preacher put Hazlehurst on the map. and did
more to advertise the town than a hard working
Chamber of Commerce could have done in a
whole year.
The Enterprise wants to congratulate Mrs.
Fred Brewer on her elevation to the presidency
of the Douglas Woman’s Club, also the club on
her acceptance. Mrs. Brewer will make the
club an able presiding official, as well as keep it
in the front ranks of Georgia clubs.
The Healthmobile will reach Coffee county
tomorrow and remain in the county twelve days.
It will be of interest to read our front page arti
cle which gives dates and places, and it will pay
those interested to be on hand for the vast
amount of information to be at their disposal.
BEAUTIFUL HIGHWAYS.
Eleven counties in Florida now have official
“highway beautification committees,” charged
w'ith preservation of natural beauty, prevention
of the encroachment of disfiguring signs, plant
ing of trees, etc.
“Sw'at the sign and save the scenery,” is
the slogan of the anti-advertisement campaign.
Fifteen counties now prohibit delacing signs,
and instruct road crews to destroy all such
which may be erected. Four counties report
ten thousand signs destroyed.

A UNIVERSALPRODUCTION
MONEY IN 40c FRIERS.
Forty cents a pound for friers and thirty
cents a pound for cotton. It takes almost all
the year to make a crop of cotton, while a new
crop of chickens will be ready for the market
every few weeks—and the boll weevil can’t ea 7
them.—Tifton Gazette.
Therefore, it would appear to an outsider
who lives out of a paper sack that it w-ould be
wisdom on the part of the farmer to raise a few
bales of forty cents friers along with a few
bales of thirty cents cotton. By using the lat
est improved methods a farmer may reasonably
expect four or five bales of cotton on five acres.
On the same five acres planted in chicken feed
there is no telling how r many bales of friers he
can grow—we are sure that in dollars and cents
the friers would do as well as cotton—Worth
County Local.
The foot and mouth disease is found only
among the lower animals, but there must be
something wrong also with the man who puts
his foot in it every time he opens his mouth.
Six Italians are doomed to die on the gal
lows today for a crime committed in 1921. This
is an unusual case but it proves that the law is
supreme in the state of Louisiana.

When the cold, sober judgment of the peo
ple took up the Mellon plan, dissected it and
found what a gold-brick it really was, it is not
surprising that it should have gone to the trash
pile. The fact that it was fathered by a multi
millionaire who added much to his coffers dur
ing the world war, while objecting to compensa
tion for those who made real sacrifices, was
enough to subject it to suspicion.
The two outstanding candidates for the
democratic nomination appears to be at this
time. Wm. G. MeAdoo and Gov. A 1 Smith. Of
course there are many other candidates who
will figure in the convention. Now watch this
prediction of a country weekly: A 1 Smith will
never be nominated, and if so by some chance,
he w ill never be elected. He is too “wet” and
too close to Tammany, besides, this country is
not yet ready to name a Roman Catholic as its
head.
