OUR ATTITUDE IN THE GUBERNATORIAL CAMPAIGN.
When took charge of The X Enterprise
we it was our aim to stay
out of politics. The temptation was hard as the county campaign
was on and many times we felt inclined to have a word to say about
the candidate offering for the different offices. In the county
cam
paign we believe we were fair to all the candidates. In the guberna
torial campaign we shall endeavor to be fair to the candidates, of
course putting forth our best efforts for the man we believe to be
most competent for the governorship. We shall all cw every reader
of our paper the same privilege we lake—the freedom of speech and
choice—and we will still be friends. It shall not be the policy of the
Enterprise to antagonize one class against the other, nor tolerate any
of the mud-slinging ’ portion of the campaign.
Within the past few weeks many of the citizens of our city and
county have come to us to find out how we stood in the present
campaign. To those we wish to say that The Enterprise it for Hoke
Smith for governor. We believe in his administration and have con
hdence - m i- him, and j intend . , to the columns of this
we use paper, in our
i W£ Y^ to aid in the re-election of Mr. Smith, and to advocate
j with our best efforts his past administration,
As to Mr. Brown, we are wholly unable to see anything in the
man that would fit him for the governorship of Georgia. Three of
: his cards have appeared in the daily press of the state, and on the
leading issues of the campaign he "straddles” the fence, and not one
time does he make a clean, clear statement as to his attidude on
these subjects.
WE ARE SORRY TO LOSE YOU.
We are sorry' to have to part with some of our ‘‘long standing”
subscribers this week, but according to a recent ruling of the postal
authorities at Washington City, we are only obeying the law when
we cut off those subscribers who owe us for more than one year.
Gutting a man from our list does not release him from his in
debtedness—we shall mail them statements of their accounts, all of
which must be closed up by May 1st or we shall place same in the
hands of an attorney for collection. We have honorably and justly
earned every cent we have outstanding, and it will take it all to
meet our obligations.
For some weeks we have been ‘‘sounding this note of warning”
and many have come forward and settled, for which we are deeply
grateful.
We didn’t want to lose e single subscriber from our list. W’e
tried our best to avoid it, but ‘‘tKe powers that be” say it must be
done unless they come forward and settle.
PLEASE attend this matter as scon as you read this notice:
