A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
To our subscribers and friends in
Covington and Newton county:
As we enter upon the new year
we wish to express our npprecia- j
tion of the support and patronage
given us during the past year.
Our business has not only been
wholly satisfactory, but we have
had many evidences of unusual loy¬
alty and good will on the part of
our readers. Under Col Cooley’s
management the paper has grown
in popularity and had unpredentiul
prosperity.
And now to each and every one
of you we wish a happy, healthy
and prosperous new year.
For 1908 there are many things
in store for Covington and old
Newton, and as our citizens enter
upon the new year with love a* the
weapon and with it dominating in
genuine sincerely, and a strenuous
execution of file law countless
thousands will be made better.
ON PROHIBITION
At the midnight hour of Tues¬
day, which brought to a close the
year of 1907 and ushered in the
new year of 1908, prehibiton be¬
came effective in Georgia. In the
recently enacted prohibition law
there appeal no loopholes of escape
from the strict, enforcement of the
provisions of the bill.
Public sentiment, no matter
how at variance during the excit¬
ing campaign the passing of the
prohibition measure by the Geor¬
gia legislature, is now in thorough
accord regarding the absolute
neeessitly for an honest, and .ex¬
acting execution of the law. Men
whose bust: ess it t9 to sell liquor,
wholesale or retail, have, with few
exceptions, yielded in a manly
fashion to the inevitable, and,
like law abiding citizens, are
preparing to do their part in carry¬
ing out the letter and the spirit of
the statute. Men wb i biiDrly
opposed prohibition when a public
issue are now prepared to use
their influence conscientiously in
making the law effective in all the
"alksof life.
Private citizens and state and
municipal officials all seem act¬
uated by a desire rnd a d 'termina¬
tion to assist in tie enforcement
of prohibition as applying to the
business and social life of the state.
The action of many < t the promi
rent social organizations in lb
large cities of Georgia is peculiarly
significant and encouraging and
b'speaks a law-respecting senti¬
ment worthy of emulation.
Local opt ion in a large propori ion
(f the counties of tiie state has
been effective for so long a period
that prohibition can not be said to
he un experiment in many sections
of Georgia. But as a state law
prohibition will be a uover ex¬
perience, the result of which will
be eagerly watched in other port¬
ions of the repulic. There will be
not the slightet toleration either
by the properly constituted author¬
ities or by an alert and sensitive
public sentiment of the smallest
infringement of the statutory law.
Georgia intends to make 110
failure in this prohibition matter.
She is ready for the supreme test
of the law and proposes to furnish
such an example of deference and
respect for the minutest provision
of the bill that she will provide an
unanswerable aigument fer the
value of prohibiton in the great
national anti-liquor struggle which
lnevu.i.fly will wage in every part
of the country in the near future.
Simultaneously with the enforce
ment of prohibition in Georgia
"ill U*e same law becomeeff.cive j
m ; certain parts of Alabama.
i
a statutory meisure prohibition
vil not go into effect until 1909
‘ 1 Alabama, but several important
counties of that state will adopt
the most stringent prohibitive
enactments w.th the advent of the
new y ear -
Georgia will be on tiial during
the coming year as a:i exampleand
exponent of the best legal settle
men . 0 c . e P r °hi ..... ntion problem,
a11 ^ ^ iere ' 9 every reason to be
heve that as a state and as a peo¬
ple theie will be nothing to bring
THE ENTERPRISE COVINGTON Ga
n shade of reproach or u suggestion
of failure in the final test. An
honest, law-respecting public
opinion presents an impenetrable
bulwark in defense of prohibition
as a statutory law.
The law-abiding sentiment of
tin people ot t he state, regardless
of earlier differences of opiniou,
will make the enforcement of pro¬
hibition in every phase and detnil
of the tremendous problem ab
soulte and imperative.
There will be neither desire nor
effort to circumvent, the law. The
loyalty and self-respect of all
classes of Georgians are pledged
to a support and indorsement of
prohibition There will be no
appeal from this test of the good
faith of a noble people Georgia
will prove to the country at large
the prohibition can be readily and
successfully enforced because her
citizens are to be depended upon
us a law abiding, law-respecting
people, loyal, to principle and
sensitive to any reflection upon the
good mime of the common wealth.

The Prosperous Farmer.
From every view point the farm¬
ing class of this county is in better
shape now that, at any period
since the civil war More people
own homes and little farms; more
are free from the yoke of bondage
inflicted by burdensome debts;
more are becoming independent
each year by making a comfor¬
table living for their fnmlies;
more are waking up to the ne
cessity of giving their children
better educational advantages,
and withal, prosperity and con¬
tentment seem to prevail through¬
out the country, progress st 1! be
our watchword.—Buena Vista
Patriot.

Mail Order Purchases.
Some of our citizens arc not in
the be3t of humors today, as a re¬
sult of Living ord red
Christmas gifts from catalogue
descriptions of the out-of town
mail order houses, and found to
their sorrow that the beautiful
present* wh ch they had ordered
at a cheap price, were not a quality
suitable for a present to be given
to an intelligent loved one. We
cannot sympathize with these uu
f->r$ unatee, as we suppose that
every man, woman and child m
this count/ had long sine* learned
by experience that tlie place to
purchase their supplies, is from
the stores of the merchants, where
they are not asked to pay in ad
vance tor a jack in the box.—
Quitman Adveiiser.
1 he Pesky Cow
Horses and chariots were used
by kiqgs to carry on war, engines
of death and destruction, but it
was the patient ox that tread out
the grain and ploughed the ground
in every age of the world. The
use of the cow lias been indis¬
pensable to the human lauuly,
her milk sustains the flickering
life of tho infant that may be de¬
prived of the nourshment of its
mother’s breast. Her hide shoes
the feet of earth’s teeming mil¬
lions, her fleash furnishes meat
(91new and muscle) for earth’s
a jii„g millions, more than any
other beast of the field How,
then, can you anti-cow speak of
the question as one of little in’
, )0 rtance?
The automobile may side track
the noble horses, electricity.
gasoline and steam, power may
be harnessed t the plowhand,
mower and reaper and to a large
extent take the place of the mule,
but no electric motor, gasoline
tank or steam locomotive will ever
produce the indispensable com
modities that come from the body
and back of the so called pesky
cow.—Thomasville Press.

Harry Thaw Will
Be Tried Monday.
Oi: next Monday Harry Thaw
will be called a second time before
a jury to make his defense to the
charge of having murdered Stan
f >rd White in' a Madison Square
r -of garden in New York last year.
There has been several postpone
me uts of the date* of the hearing
in this noted case, but it is said
now that there will be no further
delay.
There have been many rumors
as to the plans of the defense for
the second hearing of the case and
it has been predicted that an en¬
tirely new line of action might be
followed, It. can be authoritative
ly stated, however, that the de¬
fense will again be the same, that
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will again
relate her story to the jury and
that an imposing arrav of exiert
alienists will again undertake to
establish the theory that Thaw
was insane at the time he killed
Stanford White, but has so far re¬
covered his men'al balance since
that time as to be no longer a me¬
nace to the community, and there¬
fore is entitled to freedom.
In the coming trial, it is de¬
clared, there will be no mention
made of a higher or unwritten law,
but the defense will adh re strict¬
ly to a plea of legal insanity at the
time the act was committed. Mis¬
takes were made at the first trial
which it will be the attempt of
Thaw’s attorneys studiously to
avoid during his second hearing.
Thaw is looking forward auxious-
1 y, it is sai i, to tho beginning of
his new fubt. He feels that all
chance of further delay is passed
and will enter the court-room with
the suine confidence of acquittal
which has marked Ids attitude
from the first.
I 4 simplicity of p'au and prompt
ness - f action are what the peo¬
ple need and will demand,” says
Seeietary Corielyou, in his animal
report *'» reierring lo the i eed 1
the enactment by (lungo-ss of leg- !
! islatiou providing for a more elas¬
tic currency. Regardless of the !
recommendations of the Treasury
or of those of the Committee on
Banking and Currency which
Speaker Cannon appointed with
such pains, Senator Aldrich, that
autocrat of the Senate, and his
immediate advisers will, iu their
own good time, prepare a bill that
will receive the hearty sanction of
both homes of Congress. It is
common gossip that the President
and the Speaker are both relying
upon the colossal brain of the
Senator from Rhode Island for an
adequate measure in ibis trying
situation.
