Hush of matter is eomniercially
ruled and paid for accordingly.
Tin* opinions and aeiit iment ol the
paper arc expressed alone by its
editor uinl owner, and not throghh
communications of a personal
nature over the signature of other
men. Plain enough, is it not?
The Dublin Times used some
strong language in regard to local
concerns and public officials send--
ing t heir orders for job work oil
to other places when the local 1
plants could handle these orders
just, as well. The Enterprise j

Meltue mid some public officials
who have recently scut their ol

lon*. Vet these men would think
very strange of the Enterprise if
H advised people to go to cities or
neighboring town to do their trad
ing, of if it advised that the j
people of this county let, the folks j
in other counties do the voting for
certain officials when they offered j
again for election. I Ins would j
sound strange and unpatriotic.
Polks expect a paper to preach
home trade uml potronugo of home j
enterprises and papers do this ns
a rule. Hut it is blasted discour
ugeing to try to do this for people
who practice to the contrary.

GIFTS WITH STRINGS TO THEM.
The Home Tribune culls upon
the people of that town and of
tieorgin to raise SSO,<XH> tor the
Berry school for poor mountain
boys. The occasion of this call
is the otter of Mr. Andrew Car
negie and Mrs. Bussell Sage to
give sls,oooeach if the school can
raise $50,000 more and matte a
land of SIOO,(KXL The Telegraph
not long ago gave in its Inlitnri&l
columns some interesting tacts
about t Ins school and its founder, j
Miss Martha Berry, who is said
to have devoted Iter whole private
fort-turn of $100,OU) to the work.
All the accounts indicate that !
this school is well worthy ol the I
proposed endowment, hut it i»
usking'u good deal of Miss Horry
that she go out, or send out,
and raise $50,000 for her school
alter sho has spent SIOO,OOO of
her own money. Raising such
sums in n pint of the country
where tariff-made millionaires are
not plentiful is not as easy a*
Mr. Carnegie supposes. Moreover,
when In* gave Tuskegee SGOO,IKK>
a few years ago, he did not re
quire that Booker Washington
raise another $000,OlX), and all
t mt Booker Washington is doing
f>r young negroes Miss Berry is
doing for her white mountain
waifs, with the added benefit to
them of association with a lady!
of her character.
Mr. Carnegie's pi hoy is to give
half a library on condition that
the benefited t-own will give the
other half, and in this way there
can be twice as many “Carnegie
librarie*." as there w ould be other
wise. It must be admitted that
there is the further advantage of
stirring public spirit in the bene
fited towns, though some towns
have been known to tax them
selves beyond their ability in or
der to raise the other half of the
fund and maintain the institution
from vmr to year. But this poli
cy does not seem quite fair in the
caw* of a school such as Miss
Berry's.—Macon Telegraph.
HUDSON TO MAKE
RACE FOR CONGRESS,
Atlanta, May 22. —There does
not appear to be any doubt about
the fact that Commissioner of
Agriculture T. O. Hudson is
going to be in the race for con-1
gress m the Third congressional j
diet rict. He is telling his friends ,
everywhere that lie is squarly in i
it.
Mr. Hudson has put maiiyofi
his friends on notice, and present
j indication are that the race in the I
Third will be between him and |
Congressman Dudley M. Hughes
I of Tw iggs county.
rims Congressman Hughes finds
a hot contest on his hands almost ,
before he enters upon his emigres- j
sional service. Helms participated
only in the extra session now in !
progress.
Mr. Hudson is known as a
j splendid polit ician,and with these
i two in the race, there is no doubt
it will be a battle royal.
The question has arisen as to j
whether Mr. Hudson will resign
the office of commissioner of ag-
I rieulture because ol Ins congress
ional race, before the expiration
of his term. There is no special
i reason why he should do so unless
1 he should find it. necessary to give
lull of his time to the congreasion
| al fight.
Still there are some candidates
; for the position of commissioner
;of agriculture, who are speculat
ing upon the idea that he may
j resign and are already at work en
deavoring to bring influence to
| bear in favor of their appoint-
I incut.

GOTTON SEED OIL CAUSED j
LIVELY TIME IN SENATE.
Washington, May 22.—A com
mittee amendment proposing a
duty of three cents a gallon on
cotton seed oil precipitated a live
ly debate in the senate this after-!
noon.
Chairman Aldrich of the finance!
committee proposed the amend
ment as a new section to the bill,
and instantly Southern senators
sat up to take notice.
Senators Tillman, Bacon and
Money interposed serious objec-l
tion to the amendment and Sena
tor Beveridge also offered opposi
i tion. Senator Smoot joined Al-
Ulrich is trying to defend the com
nnttee’s action. Because of the
unanimity of objection from the j
j South and the prolonged debate;
that was threatened, Mr. Aldrich
* finally withdrew the amendment,
'and cotton and oil will remain on
j the free I ist.
The present law places a duty
jof four cents a gallon on cotton
seed oil. The Payne bill placed
I the product on the free list and
j the finance committee left it in
this shape until today, when Mr.
Aldrich offered the committee
j amendment for three cents a gal
lon. Mr. Smoot, in explainng the
action of the committee, said it
was feared that the pauper labor
!of Europe would come in compe
tition with the free labor of the
South, lb* said he had been so'
informed.
“Well, anybody who told you
that lied and be knew he was lying
j when lie said it,,” exclaimed Mr.!
Tillman. “The idea of any’ labor
i competing with the negro labor
of the South in making cotton j
and cotton seed oil is prepos- J
| terous.”
MORRIS COHEN FINED
IN SUPERIOR COURT
Atlanta, Ga., May 21.—Morris
j Cohen, u well known Decatur St.
merchant w»s fined SI,OOO by
Judge W. D. Ellis, in the superior
court today for violating the pro
hibition law. The alternative sen
tence is twelve months on the
1 chuingang.
Cohen luib become known as the
j king of local blind tigers, as he
lias been regularly fined every
| month or so since the prohibition
law went into effect. About a half
jdozen sentences given in the re
corder’s court are hanging over
| him, but lie has never served one j
of them.
The recent decision of the court
'jof appeals upholding the heavy
penalties given blind tigers by
Recorder Broyles leads the pro
hibitionists to hope that some pro
nmient members of the blind ti
gor tribe will be compelled to
! serve a sentence some time in the
future. Despite tho activity of
local officials and courts, no vio
lator having means to keep up the
fight lias yet been forced to the
stockade or the chauigang.
GREENE-GAYNOR BOND TO BE PAID.
New York May 21.—A decision
handed down today by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals
affirming a ruling of Judge Hough,
probably means that, after one of
the most stubbornly contested
suits on record, the government
will be able to obtain the forfei
ture of the SBO,OOO bail in the
cases of Greene and Guvnor, the
two men convicted several years
ago of trends in government har
bor contracts.
Today s decision was in the suit
of the government against the
estate of James D. Leary, who was
on the bond of Benjamin Greene,
and sustained judgment in favor
of the grovernment by .Judge
Hough. The Circuit Court of Ap
peals iu today’s decision held that
the bond was legally forfeited
when Green failed to appear iu
court, and the decision in this
ease, which was made as a test,
will be applied by the federal au
thorities to the proceedings
1 against Guvnor's bondsmen. *
