EDITORIAL NOTES.
$75,000 is the amount paid to
Cornelias Bliss, treasurer of the
Republican National committee,
according to a voucher said to have
been exhibited by Judge Andrew
Hamilton. Mr. Bliss after being
informed of the matter denied all
knowledge of such payment, and
yet Hamilton produced a receipt
form, such as the Republican cam¬
paign committee uses! Somebody
has a bad memory.
\*
And so Mr. Bliss comes within
the chaimed circle of insurance fa¬
vorites. Like many other celeb¬
rities; like Depew, McCall, Mc¬
Curdy, etc , we shall expect that
he too will soon be sick at his resi¬
dence.
* *
Sometime since we expiessed a
sympathy for Mr. John A. McCall,
who died under the strain of the
Armstrong investigating commit¬
tee; we are now thinking of Sena¬
tor Depew. Old, broken in health,
reputation gone, young wife makes
the “most unkindest cut of all,”
by refusing to return from Europe
to console the old man in his clos¬
ing days. £Iis case seems to be
the most pitiful of all.
***
1 1 I was asleep, that’s all.” This
is the explanation of the operator
who is said to be responsible for
the Colorado railroad wreck, one
of the worst known in railroad his¬
tory. To us this is a most signifi¬
cant expression, and must have
been made by a man who in some
way perhaps is excusable for his
conduct, One account says that
he hud been worked three days
and nights by his employers with¬
out respite; another says he took
the position 1 of a friend who was to

may be, he has not been arrested,
, and doubtless will.not be and a
silence resigns over his case since
he uttered the one sad seilteuce,
« ( I was asleep, that’s all. > J "HVe
do not feel harsh towards this
young man, because jt is evident,
that he was at work either for the
railroad or for a Iriend, but it is a
r •*
lesson which emphatically teaches
that we should not-undertako to do
too much—that our limitations
she uld be known and our capacities
directed to some end which can be
accomplished according to such
capacities.

“The Dreadnought is only a
dregout alongside the battleship
that Secretary Bonaparte wants to
*
build,” . the headlines of dis¬
are a
patch from Washing^ 011 to the
Savannah Morning News. The
Dreadnaught is now the largesj
battleship in the world, aud. to
out-match th : s English warship,
uur secretary of war, Mr. Bona¬
parte, advocated this year an ap¬
propriation for the construction of
a 19,400 ton battleship which is
much larger than the Dreadnaught.
We predicted this sometime since
in the columns of The Enterprise.
What does this mean? Will France
and Germany, as soon as the ton¬
nage of our ship is decided upon,
huild others superior? The pre¬
sumption is that the country which
has the most money will have the
largest warships, built at the ex¬
pense of the tax payers of that
country. Are we to have the
largest ?
I« The man who can provide
RICHARD B. RUSSELL.
Hon. Richard B. Russell, of
Winder, better known as “plain
Dick Russell” made an eloquent
and able argument for the princi¬
ple for which he stands in the
present race for governor.
Mr. Russell is not an orator in
the common use of the word, but
he is undoubtedly a strong man
and an excellent debater.
He surprised many of our citizens
by the strength of augument used
by him in his own behalf.
Mr. Russell has been in the ser¬
vice of the people lor many years
and has not yet lost his hold on
the voting element. That he is to
be reckoned with in the coming
primary is now recognized by all
other candidates now in the race.
His strength comes from the rural
population and to hold that class
■of people steadfast friends as long
as has Mr. Russell, certainly shows
that he is capable, honest and fear¬
less.
HON. P. D. COFFEE.
Hon. P. D. Coffee is in town at¬
tending court this week and the
many friends of Mr. Coffee are
urging him to enter the race for
representative on a Hoke Smith
platform, and it is generally un¬
derstood that Mr. Coffee is in
sympathy with several of the lead¬
ing planks of Mr. Smith’s platform
as follows: He is in favor of a
child labor bill, disfranchisement,
and equitable freight rates.
It will also be noticed that Mr.
Coffee takes in a part of Dick
Russell’s platform in that he is in
favor of a law- being passed mak¬
ing the place of delivery of intox¬
icating liquors, wine, beer etc., the
place of sale.
Should Mr. Coffee decide to en
ter the race on this platform he
would make a strong fight as he
has many staunch supporters
throughout the county.
A HEART-TO-HEART TALK.
What the editor wants is news,
and we are going to get it, too, and
want your help in the matter. If
your wife knocks you down with a
poker let us ki.ow and we will make
it right with the public. If you
have company tell us, if you are
not ashamed of your visitors. If
a younster calls at your house,
begging for rainment, buy a box
of cigars and come aiound and we
will find as suitable a name for
him or her as the circumstances
will permit, and if you have a so¬
cial gathering of a few your
friends, bring around a big cake,
seven or eight pies, and a ham, not
necessarily to eat, but as agudfVan
tee of good faith. You can' do , a
great deal for us, and by. so doing
make the paper even better than it
is. —Mexia (Tex.) Ledger. * '#
homes for industrious and strong
armed citizens is a benefactor to
the race,” says Mr. Guy Klliott
Mitchell in the Augusta Chronicle.
Certainly. But what sortvof
a condition of society is that in
which one man might be enabled
to provide homes for “industrious
and strong-armed citizens?’’ Who
is capable or strong enough to be
his brother’s keeper, and has the
necessary qualities to providg
homes for citizens? We dislike
the doctring and the pxpression.
{‘Strong-armed and industrious
citizens” should have homes, not,
provided by auother, but should
have them independent of anyone's
provision. A man who is willing
and able to work fora home should
have it, and he should not be un
der the humiliation of thinking it
“provided” to him by any bene¬
factor except himself,.

We have been asked many ques¬
tions concerning Mr. McDaniel’s
farm in Rockdale county, on ae¬
count of what we said about it iu
the last issue of the Enterprise.
What we know about this farm
has been learned from seeing it
from the train and from the infor¬
mation given us by Judge Gleat on,
of Conyers. Mr. McDaniel can
doubtless give valuable lessons Oil
Southern agriculturv to any one
who will go to his farm to learn
his methods.
THE ENTERPRISE, COVINQIOX, OA.
HOKE SMITH IN TOWN.
Very unexpectedly the Hon.
Hoke Smith arrived in town on
the Central train Friday afternoon.
Mr. Smith was returning from Eat
onton where he made a speech on
that day. He remained in Cov¬
ington until 6:50 o’clock, taking
the Georgia tram for Atlanta.
Mr. Smith did not retire to a
hotel but remained on the street
surrounded by a group of Smith
and Howell supporters, answering
questions and explaining his posi¬
tion on many points to be decided
in the coming primary. Among
other things he was asked about
the Alabama disfranchisement law
—a law which he claimed that
disfranchised 95 per cent of the
negropopulation and not one white
man who cared about voting. Mr.
Smith claimed that clause which
allowed the registrars to put on the
registration list the name of any
person who understood the duties
of Citizenship under a republican
form of government allowed any
white man to come in and register
and once registered always reg¬
istered.
In speaking of the Bishop Tur¬
ner appointments he said that the
negroes were under civil service
and he could not discharge them
that they were not appointed by
him, that they came to his de¬
partment by transfer from other
departments and be could not con¬
trol the transfer. As to the letter
of recommendation to President
Cleveland from the negro, Bishop
Turner, he knew nothing of it.
That Dr. Chase, of Milledgeville,
had written to Mr. Cleveland ask¬
ing if he received such a letter and
that Mr. Cleveland said that if he
received such a letter that he had
no recollection of it, that he asked
Dr. Chase to publish the letter and
that lie refused to do so.
Mr. Smith undoubtedly makes
votes by getting out talking to the
people, be is always ready to an¬
swer. The people like this better
than the caudidate that shuts him¬
self up iu a room and hardly peeps
out. Of some candidates who
come to town you might say,
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat,
IIow I wonder where j’ou’re at,
Up above the people so high,
Like a tea tray in the sky.
As there was some discussion as
to the policy of The Enterprise
during Mr. Smith’s stay we wish
,to say that we are so far, absolute¬
ly impartial, that the purchase by
the present management was not
made with a view of coming out
for any candidate for any office on
the face of the earth, and that we
object to a man who is not a sub¬
scriber to The Enterprise and who
;has never read a line that is in the
paper since the change of manage¬
ment (if so he borrowed it from
>his neighbor) to enterpreting our
INTENTIONS, in fact we object
to any human being attempting
doing that.
We do not remember of ever
having done anything so rash as
to make us unworthy of belief and
here is a plain statement—
WE ARE WORKING FOR THE
UPBUILDING OF NEWTON
COUNTY AND NOT FIGHTING
THE POLITICAL BATTLES OF
A POLITICIAN.
HON. CLARK HOWELL.
Hon. Clark Howell, candidate
for governor, addressed the voters
of Newton county in his own be- 1
half last Thursday. We gave a
full in report of columns, Mr. Howell’s holding speech j I
our news our
paper from the press for no other J
purpose.
Mr. Howell made a very good:
impression on tile people of our
county. That ha i, a man of abil
ity no one denies. While we are
n ± t Supporting ..r. nr tt Howell ,, in . , his .
race for governor, and do not
agree, «e r fiankly admit that . hlS
■
was an earnest and able speech to I
tilt __, people Ot , comity. ,
our
Mr. Howell has many warm ad¬
mirers among us who were more
than pleased at the impression
that he made on fhe general voting
public in our midst.
THE ENTERPRISE GROWS.
The Enterprise’s circulation
growth has been greater by far
during the past thirty days than
the new management had antic*
ipated. the
This fact demonstrates that
people of Newton county apprec¬
iate an independent newspaper
with the courage of its convictions
—one that prints all the news hu¬
partially—one maintaining an edi¬
torial page free from the domina¬
tion of any ring or clique—a paper
that is not tied up t«> or with any
man or set of men—especially,
any big or little politician or ma
chine boss.
All the Enterprise asks of the
people of Covington and Newton
county is a fair shaw of patronage
and support, based on sound busi
ness principles, In return for
merited pationage (no other kind
wanted) the Enterprise pledges its
best efforts to the development and
upbuilding of Covington and New
ton county.
