^ And the Georgia Legislature meets
[^ ^»ext Wednesday. Not all the afflic
tions that visit us come forewarned.
; Now watch the men who make
politics a profession and always en-
] deavor to get on the winning side,
Upin tlieir frantic efforts to change
horses.
The principal things of interest
before the Btate General Assembly,
'which convenes next week, will be
- the convict lease question and the
dismissal of Railroad Commissioner
Brown. There is not the most re
mote possibility of an amendment of
the present prohibition law, except
by friends of the measure. As usual
some one will propose extending the
state road to the sea, but if it reach
es every town that asks for it, the
extension must have as many legs as
the centipede. Jacksonville, Fla.
even named as an objective point.
The first accounts sent out on the
day after the Georgia primary that
the entire state delegation to Con
gress had been returned were incor
rect. In the Third district, Hughes
defeated Lewis. In the light of
events which occurred three days
before the primary, we feel impel
led to congratulate the people of the
Third on the defeat of Lewis and to
pity them on the nomination of
Hughes. To one who loves common
bonesty, there is but little difference
between a corruptor of the ballot-
box and a receiver of stolen good:
If what both charge are true, both
men should represent the people -of
the Third in prison instead of
Congress.
The pardoning of Caleb Powers
and Jim Howard last Saturday was
a foregone event since the election
of a Republican governor in Ken
tucky. For eight years they haivo
been m prison Charced with the -as
sassination of Governor Goebel, and
the evidence against them on the
day of their release was perhaps
even a little stronger than it was
the day they were incarcerated.
But criminality in Kentucky appears
largely a matter of politics. A Dem-
, ocrat was assassinated, hence Demo
crats must prosecute those accused
of his murder and Republicans seize
the first opportunity to pardon them.
To us it should make little difference
but one is led to wonder how long
the old Blue Grass state can stand
this sort of thing.
Tifton, even more than the bal
ance of the state, has had a surfeit
of politics. Every contest, local,
state or national, in which bitterness
crops out, hurts business, and many
©f Tifton's business men have allow
«d politics to interfere too much in
their commercial affairs. City, coun
ty and state are fairly well governed,
and just now Tifton needs the service
of every able man in main tail
ing her commercial supremacy and
desirability as a business location,
bet’s drop politics for awhile. Turn
your back on the next man that men
tions them to you and if that don’t
stop him, throw him into one of the
sewer excavations. Let us get about
something useful, something which
has dollars in it. If Tifton’s citizens
allow themselves to be aligned into
two or three warring factions, they
will end by cutting each other's com
mercial throats and there will be
houses in plenty to rent before marry
more years. United, we have noth
ing to fear from anyone; split into j
factions we will add ourselves to our I
With the death of Mrs. Nettie C.
Hall, in Fitzgerald Sunday last, a
veteran newspaper woman and one
of the most noble women whom
South Georgia has been fortunate
enough to have as a citizen in many
years, has passed to her reward.
Mrs. Hall came to Fitzgerald with
the colony in 1895, and established a
newspaper, The Enterprise. She
was a leading Christian temperanc?
woman, and while temperance had
but a small showing' in the early
days of the Colony, with the- cosmo
politan citizenship which first popu
lated the Colony city, there was am
ple opportunity for good Christian
temperance work, and on this oppor
tunity Mrs. Hall rose to the occasion
and performed her duty well. Truly
can she say, she fought a good fight
and kept the faith, and the moral
standard of Fitzgerald today can be
in part attributed to this persevering
and noble woman. Her only son was
a railroad man and was killed while
in the performance of his duty, and
probably owing to this her heart
turned to the railroad men and their
work and no person was better
known to them in Fitzgerald, than
“Mother Enterprise,” as she was
lovingly called. The railroad men
in Fitzgerald requested of her adopt
ed son the privilege of conducting
her funeral and it was the largest
attended and one of the most note
worthy held in Fitzgerald in many
years. The Eastern Star, of which
she was a member, and the local W.
C. T. U. also took part in paying the
last tribute to one whom all had
known to love. Mrs. Hall was 08
years of age and is survived by two
adopted sons, Trueman Hall, of
Fitzgerald, and John Brewer, of
Thelma, Washington. She was born
in Kentucky and her maiden name
was Miss Nettie C. Crabb. She was
twice married, her first husband be
ing Mr. Wiems, a union veteran, and
her last husband, Mr. Cleveland T.
Hall. She resided for some time in
Indiana, moving from there to South
Dakota, aid came to Georgia when
the Colony was organized in 1895.
Some of her best newspaper work
has been done in this state, she hav
ing been associated nearly all of its
■life with tAie Enterprise, but for a
short while before her death, with
the Fitzgerald Leader.
FORMAL DEDICATION.

Melon and Truck Shipment*.
Fifteen years ago, Tifton was
shipping flae first peaches from
Georgia, beating all other sections of
the state by from ten to fifteen days,
and this was kept up for many
years. Gradually, however, as the
price of lumber increased, and naval
stores und cotton became more
profitable, lees attention was given
to peach culture as well as truck
growing, the orchards were allowed
to he ruined .by insects, and nearly
all of the trees have been cut down
and the land devoted to farming.
Considerable truck has been raised
here every year., but principally for
eloquent plea for the maintenance
and the multiplication of the churches 1
of the world
After hia sermon, he took up a
collection for the expenses of build
ing the church, and the sum of
$4,800 was donated. At night an
other collection was taken up, and
the sum increased to something con
siderably over $5,000.
Dr. Jameson started off by solici
ting contributions of $1,000, of
which only one was made, that of
Mr. H. H. Tift. Next Mr. W. W.
Timmons, W. W. Banks, and J. B.
Murrow each gave $500. No one
responded to the $.'100 request, but
to those of $200, Mrs. J. J. L.
Phillips contributed and then what
was one of the most remarkable con
tributions was $200 given by Wong
Lee, Tifton’s Chinese laundryman,
who is a regular attendant at Sun-
lay school and whose predecessor,
Joe Gong, is a member of the Bap
tist church.
Following these contributions were
eight of $100 each, several of $50,
several of $25 and many more of $10
and $5, making the total amount
mentioned.
It is only just to the membership
to say that they had already given
liberally, and $2,500 was raised last
week. In Sunday’s contribuiions,
Methodists and all denominations
joined
Rev. W. W. Webb led in the dedi-
catorial prayer. Rev. Mr. Webb
came to this section thirty-three
years ago when this was almost a
wiregrass wilderness and has since
been doing pioneer work for the
Missionary Baptist church in this
part of the state, being one of the
most potent factors in its progress,
and his selection on this occasion
was eminently proper. He has the
appearance as well as the record of
a patriarch, and has richly earned
what his magnificence stature, flow
ing beard and striking presence well
denominates the title, of a father in
Israel. His name should be inscrib
ed as one of the pioneers of Mission
ary Baptist work in Wiregrass
Georgia.
Then came the formal dedication,
a ceremony as striking as it was im
pressive. The words were first read
and then led by Pastor Miller, and
following him pronounced by lhe|
congregation.
This ceremony had been witnessed
only once before in Tifton, when the
old Baptist church building was
dedicated by Pastor Frederic T
■Snell.
An organ recital by Miss McCrea,
-in the afternoon, and the evening
service were both largely attended.
At the latter. Dr. Jameson preach
ed one of his soul-stirring sermons,
and the singing, as at the morning
sorvice, was very fine.
All praise is due the choir for its
sweet music and excellent rendition
“Th. Subsidized Press.”
When a campaign spieler wants to
excite sympathy for the candidate
or the cause in whose interest he is
bestirring himself, he makes fre
quent reference to "the subsidized
press.” Defeated candidates for
public office who have been long on
claims before election but short of
votes at the polls find a world of
comfort in laying their defeat to
this puissant “subsidized press.”
They don’t have to be specific, and
seldom are. Newspapers are pub
lished wherever there is civilization,
and the defeated candidate railing
at hostile newspapers can train the
batteries of his indignation im
partially upon unprotesting victims
in every quarter of the globe.
No one will be so foolish as to say
that there have not been and will
not continue to be cases of news
paper subsidizing. There are news
papers in this as in Europen coun
tries, that are owned outright by
interests opposed to the public weal,
and the mission of such journals is
to influence public opinion in favor
of those things which they are main
tained to promote.
But on the whole the press—and
particularly the press of the United
States-is wholly independent. It
bows the knee to no set of men and
fights for no cause which it does not
believe to be good. The average
editor is an unselfish patriot. He
not for sale, and his opinions are of
his own making. He fights in the
open for those principles which he
believes to be good and against those
he considers evil, and he asks no
higher reward than the satisfaction
born of knowledge of duty well per
formed. He sells his space and his
paper, but never his convictions.
For what he receives he gives full
value in honest service.
Herein is the secret of the power
of the American press. The people
know it is not subsidized. They may
disagree with an editor, but they
know that the editor is honest in ad
vocating a cause or supporting a
candidate, and respect him accord
ingly. The man who sneeringly
alludes to "a subsidized press” sub
jects himself to the suspicion that he
has been disappointed in his efforts
to buy its support for his own pet:
projects.—Albany Herald.

last Thursday to consolidate the re
turns, notice was received by the
chairman from Mr. Roddenberythat
he was unable to make a detailed
report of his campaign expenses at
that time, but that a statement
would be completed in the course of
a few days and copies mailed to
each member of the committee.
These copies were placed in the
moils yesterday at Thomasville and
by this time are in the hands of most
:f the district committeemen. Mr.
Uoddenbery gives in detail a trans
cript of the record of his expenses for
the campaign. It appears that • he
spent $4,240.55 for legitimate cam
paign expenses. This is more than
double the cost of Representative
Griggs’ campaign, who spent as
shown in his report to the district
executive committee, which was pub
lished in last Thursday’s Herald,
$1,778.56.

Fi*h-Fry Near Rebecca. ^
The writer pulled off from his
routine work Wednesday evening of
last week, went over to Rebecca and
drove out three' miles to J. W.
Hogan’s, ate a fish supper and
chatted about things in general and
after a fine, restful sleep, arose next
morning and took in the farm, apple,
plum and peach orchard and was
ready for a fish breakfast.
After these social repasts, we rig
ged up a two and a one-horse wagon
and were soon troubling the fish
tribe in Alapaha river and by noon
enough had been caught to feed
about sixty persons and enough Jeft
over to bring home to three fish hun
gry families, each claiming to have
enough.
I claim no honor myself for I did
not catch more than twenty pounds.
Messrs. Hogan and Dixon, who were
so interested in a hungry paper man
and have hearts open and generous
enough to be missionaries are to be
credited for this supply and day of
great enjoyment.
The manager may have to adver
tise for his reporter soon and if some
bow-legged,one-eyed detective wants
an easy find; go over to Alap&ha
river, near Rebecca, where there are
fish and a lot of good, clever folks
who have open doors and hearts. R,
