In one of our last issues we
"r >te a few lines on 1 he tragic end¬
ing of John A. McCall, president
• f the New York Life Insurance
Company. In the course of our
rp marks we expressed our sympa¬
thy for the dead President.
Collier’s Weekly in it’s issue of
Mn-ch 8rd expresses a simular
sentiment. It savs:
“To day he lies dead, amid the

THE DREADNOUGHT.
This is now the biggest hattle
ship afloat a n d it has ten 12-inch
guns the largest of naval cannon.
The Mikasa, Togo’s flagship, the
biggest ship of the Japanese navy,
and the one perhaps, which did
more than any other to sink the
Russian fleet in the battle of the
Sea of Japan, carried lour 12-inch
guns, These immense engines ol
destruction, can do their work at a
range of from five to ter miles and
all the guns of smaller caliber are
useless because of the lack of carry¬
ing power.
The Deadnought, it is now be¬
lieved, is capable without the aid
of any other ship of the British
navy, to engage single-handed the
entire navy of any country in the
world.
Thus goes on the building of
naval machines ol destruction,
each country trying to outdo the
other in size and equipment. Eng¬
land now having the largest, Ger¬
many, France, the United States
and the other powers will be com¬
pelled to build one that will equal
in size or be at that mercy.
Where will all this end? Is the
United States on the advice of Mr.
Roosevelt to continue the building
of battleships, to meet the size and
effectiveness of the largest of Eng¬
land 111 order to secure peace?
To us this is a queer way to se¬
cure peace and it is strange that
the proposition could for once
secure the sanction of any reason¬
able being. Ju3t as sure as nations
go on inventing monsters of des¬
truction with the avowed purpose
using them if circumstances
it, wars will occur just as
have in the past. The care¬
fully worded speechs of diplomats
will not always prevail, and wars
will break out in the future that
will eclipse the Ruso-Japanese war,
just as that has succeeded all
others in horrrr and magnitude.
Never was there a l ime when a
Court of international arbitration
was more needed.

MR. HYDE’S BALL.
This social event started the in¬
surance raid. Spectacular and
pleasuable doubtless it was, but
what a sequence!
It was au innocent little perfor¬
mance—this ball of Mr. Hyde’s,
with its brilliant array of merry
makers, but the aftermath was
awful.
It was a great day for
Mister Hyde and a great day
for Mister Alexander, this ball
February, 1905, and they both
very likely remember it to be
time when the public began to
press its opinion of them both.
Poor blighted public! Not
know what such great men were
doing for the policy holders in
big insurance companies—not to
know how well the money was
bemg spent by these great men—
Mister Hyde and Mister Alexander.
The ball it is said cost $100,000.
Could the money have been spent
better? \Ye think that this was
the most useful expenditure of it
all—Mr. Hamilton’s was perhaps
excepted.
President Harvie Jordan, of the
Southern Cotton Growers Asso¬
ciation will, within the next three
months, visit and speak in every
part of the cotton growing beit of
the country. Mr. Jordan is using
all his energy m keeping down the
cotton crop next year. That he is a
forceful speaker i3 reconized and
no doubt this trip wall be worth
much to the Cotton Association
and to the South in general.

is totally blind. Governor Can¬
dler lost one eye during the war,
and the other has been gradually
failing him for several years.
He is a hard student and the
constant use of one eye causes the
failure of that one. An operation
will be made shortly, which it is
hoped will restore his sight,

WE WANT YOU
FO* A PARTNER.
We have always believed in co-operation, believe
in it now, and always will.
The publication business, in the hands of compe
tant men, is a handsome dividend payer. There
are stock companies owninig and operating a pub¬
lishing plant in dozens of Georgia towns that do not
offer near the advantages, nor the possibilities that
are offered right here in Covington, yet they all pay
dividends. have
Covington and its surrounding towns a pop¬
ulation of 5000, while Newton county has about
18000. There being but two- publications in the
county, The Enterprise and the Mansfield Leader,
only one at the county site, its opportunity to make
good profits is excellent.
In our opinion the Enterprise Publishing Co., is
going to be a big success—a dividend paying success.
But let’s get down to business. In the first place
the amount oi capital stock will be $3,000.00, 300
shares of $10.00 each—each share being full paid a 1
and non-assessable. The shares are put at this small
cost to give all a chance. T he man with little as

idea may be carried out. only a limited amount will

In offering you we you some
thing that has been tried—that bears all earmarks of
success—a good dividend producer. Inis is not
guess work, not theory, but fact. I
You can buy this stock at the very low price of
$10.00 per share.
Your money will go into an established enterprise.
You may expect a dividend on e •ery dollar you in¬
vest.
You will not run any great risk.
You will not be speculating. untried proposition.

You will be making a conservative business in¬

We have shown our faith in the Enterprise by put¬
ting our own money into it and we honestly believe
it to be a good A i ment.
Some of our pro i L U .. . Q :>UO
scribed stock, Some r e of our stockholders represent
the acme of business integrity and financial success.
We would publish their names but such men do not,
as a rule, like to be exploited before the public.
It is a business that will bear the closest investiga¬
tion. We invite prospective purchasers of stock to
examine our books.
Don’t you as a business man want to make such
an investment?
Remember in buying Enterprise stock you are not
buying goldmine stock; you are not buying futures,
betting on the other fellows kame, but you are buy¬
ing a tangible asset, that has a marketable value.
You take practically no chance of loss. The propo¬
sition is safe, conservative, a dividend producer of
# i splendid possibilities.
We want you to understand that there will be no
handsome salaries paid. There wtll not be a multi¬
tude of managers. The object ot The Enterprise is
not primarily to furnish someone with a job, but to
work for the moral and material advancement of
Covington and Newton countv.
I We want the co-operation of business men all over
I the county, especially farmers, but for that reason we
would raise the stock right here in Covington.

Let us illustrate vividly the difference in mean¬
ing of the words might and will—the child might
live; the child will live. Might implies doubt; will
means will live certainty. will Might live means might dicj
means not die.
These two words aptly illustrate the difference
between Johnson’s Tonic and the horde of commer¬
cial remedies on the market, and that vast horde of
m inert professional remedies which only bear the
Sgi sanction of the High Priests of medicine. s.
