Georgia’s able senior Senator,

years at the coming session of that

MORE STRINGENT WHIS¬
KEY LAWS.
Solicitor General Howard re¬
ports that there are thirty licences
issued by the L . S. Government
t i citizens <>f Newton county to
sell liquor. Now the question
arises, what d ■ they want with*
these licences it they do not intend
to se'il whiskey. Would they pay
$25 fur a license and not use it.’
We are in favor of parsing a law
which makes the holding of a L
S. license to sell liquor prima facie
evidence of the holder’s guilt.
Such a lav.' eu:i be passed, and
would stand the educational test.
The illicit handling of liquor m
Newton county must stop. The
good citizens in every community
should declare themselves in un¬
mistakable t*-rms on this question.
A tame and time serving policy on
the part of the citizens in a com¬
munity breeds contempt for the
law and encourages those engaged
in this ntfariotis business to in¬
crease tbeir efforts.
Two »>r three convictions ac¬
companied by severe punishment
in a community, will go a long
way toward removing the greatest
-vii and nuisance in Newton
county.
We have no desire to interfere
with the private business* of any
individual so long as that busi¬
ness is conducted in a legitimate
manner; hut when an individual
tries to over ride and ignore the
laws ot bis state and carry on a
I'U.-iness that is corrupting the
young men in the community, >ve
have neither respect nor sympathy
for him.
A CONTRAST.
Below we give a simple illustra¬
tion of some of the pleasures and
vicissitudes attendant upon the
life of a country editor.
While it may appear to a cas
usil reader that the average man
cotild not long endure the criti
cisSn, we place the compliment
aijid the criticism side by side.
It takes a certain amount of op¬
position and disappointment to
d j ve!« p a man or business, cons*
quently we look upon these little
e'pisod-s in a charitable manner.
H^re are the illustrations:
E litor Enterprise,
D ar Sir: Y >ur notice concern
ing my subscription receivtd. I
enclose $2.00, $1.00 to pay arrears
and $1 00 to renew my subscript
tion. Y< u are giving us a good paper
and 1 appreciate it. I consider it
one of the very best weeklies in
Georgia.
Editor Enterprise,
‘Ton say I am due you $1 00.
I am not. I never did renew my
subscription. I subscribed ouce
and you just kept on sending the
paper. 1 won’t pay for it.”
Now, we received numbers of
each of the above in response to a
notice we sent out. There may
be some folks meaner than the
fellow who takes a paper two or
three years and refuse to pay for
it, but somehow we have failed
to locate them. We suppose
they’ll ignore a grocer’s bill upon
the same grounds that they ig¬
nore a subscription.
But on the other hand, the
large-hearted sensible fellow,
who pays up, praises yofir paper,
more than compensates for the
measly fulminations of the Annu
nias subscribers. We trust thf
latter will see the error of their
way.? and repent. It they do re¬
pent and reform, The Enterprise
will begin what is known as a
“Conscience fund” where money
received from conscience stricken
subscribers will be placed.
May the Lord have mercy upon
their souls, and may they be
saved and their subscription to
The Enterprise paid ’ere it is too
late.
Southern U. S. Senators can now
almost speak of a solid South for,
with a single exception, the repre¬
sentation in the Senate on the
Democratic side is confined to the
South.

SPRINGTIME IN THE
MOUNTAINS. ,
Lovely spring weather such as
w- have already been blessed with
our thoughts to wander
backward to a day gone bv when
P" - deny
I stood upon a gra-sy hillock in
northeast Georgia and viewed tin
landscape o’er when ill nutur?
awakened to newness of life wa
’
fresh and • beautiful '•
From many a leafy bower swelled
the chorus of a thousand winged
songsters, while the babbling
I .rook in the valley below, in ca
dence soft a»d rythmic, sang it.
greeting to the early morn.
Suddenly a ray of light shot
athwart my vision, and as I looked !
upward saw thoNleecy clouds ot I
morii all decked with crimson and j
gold, and the dark gray of heav¬
en’s vault give place to a canopy i
of blue. Then the King of Day
tnajestica 1» arose above the east¬
ern horizon and flooded earth and
-.kv with a deluge of light.
The flowers seemed to smile ai l
waft their sweetest fn^jrance to
greet the rising suu; the laughing
str>am!et glided by with a interr: r
lay; the birds sang their sweetest
carols, and ail nature seemed to
burst forth in one grand a it them
of praise.
Here I left t he seme until on
the evening zephyrs the soft, sweet
chimes of vesper bells were gently
wafted to my ears, and I wended
my way again to the same spot
to view the landscape in the
gloaming.
The brilliant orb qf day was
slowly sinking behind the west¬
ern hills, but ere he found his
resting place on the awaiting
couch many a sunbeam was sent
out to kiss the tired flowers a
sweet “good night.’’ The song of
the sweet,-voiced bird was hush, d
and the flowers, like tired childivn ,
folded their petals and dropped
their heads. A mist ascended from
the stream below, and the clouds
above exchanged their gold-be¬
spangled garments for raiment of
leaden hue. The last sunbeam had
departed and everywhere around
the shadows grew thick and fast
There was a stillness everywhere,
broken now and then by the hoot¬
ing of an owl or the monotonous
tones of the distant brook. Then
it seemed as if a great suble man¬
tle Ml from the skies, covering
everything, and I found myself in
the deep, dark, gloomy shadows of
the night.
Note the change! In the morn¬
ing the sunbeams danced and
played ; in the evening the shad¬
ows fell and it was night.
The sunbeams and shadows that
cross our pathway are indeed very
much like this life of ours—the
dawn of hope* and love, the crown*
ing glory of a brilliant day ; then,
the gloom of disappointment and
the black night of sorrow and of
death. T.
INDIFFERENCE TO R. F. D.
SERVICE.
Georgia and other southern
states bid fair to lose a goodly
number of their rural free delivery
mail routes unless thefe is an a
wakening of interest in the ser
vice to a point that will justify
their retention.
Orders have recently been issued
from the postoffice department
abandoning several Georgia routes
for no other reason than that the
patrons, as a result of their a
mazing in difference, have made it
no longer worth the while to COtl
tinue them.
1 here wer° plenty ot patrons on
these routes, it is stated, to have
justified the retention of the ser
vice upon them, but so many of
them seemed not to care about the
prompt delivery of their mail that I
the department came to the con
elusion they did not want it.
About all that is requ.red of the
patrons by the government is that
he or she shall provide a mail box
in accordance with prescribed
specifications, placed within easy
reach of the carrier when in his
itsi, • rom *1 to TI :,r 11.50 o:wh>, yet there "’ 5is are
,n .ny in this section who refuse
even to go to that expense, and

in existence, and have made it a
point, to afford every possible as
sistance to the government and
the carrier m the delivery of
mail.
The rurttl free delivery service
if » the ° ; e thing which has iocrea?
ed the pleasure and tne p<>s i 1 »i 1 i
tiea ot life in the country districts,
more than any other, within the
last quarter of a century. Here
is a splendid educational system,
to maintain which the govern¬
ment spends some $80,000,000
annually, and yet it is known to
bi an actual fact that there are
people who prefer to do without
it rather than spend a dollar and
a half fot a mail box which they
would not have to replace under
five years! Think of it, 80 cents
a year for daily delivery of mail !
One thing is certain and that is
the government is not going to
make any effort to force the rural
delivery s-rvice on people who do
not want it.
It will pay those who do ap¬
preciate it, and do want it, to chip
in and buy mail boxes for their
obstinate neighbors and thus pre¬
vent the abandonment of these
routes.—Atlanta Constitution.
