In another column will be found the an
buncement of Uncle Toney Howell, who will
sand for re-election at the primary as County
Preasurer. As all the people are his friends,
t is unnecessary to refer to his capabilities or
rfhiness, but on the idea that there will be
0 opposition to his candidacy, the Enterprise
Buggests that we make it unanimous.

. We hear that the three ‘other self-announc
ed candidates will not be good for Smith but
jvill have a tendency to draw votes from his
Bide, all nonsense,the people that are going to
Vote for Hoke Smith are firm and steadfast in
their faith in their leader and all combined
iforces cannot move or cause them to desert
their man. THey are as true to Hoke Smith as
the needle is to the pole, and our prediction is
that Hoke Smith will be the next governor
bf Georgia.—Tennill Tribune. :
1 : By
I The papers that claim’ that Howell beat
mi‘h are practically unanimous in oppo
sition to further joint debates, and the Smith
ipapers are as unanimous in a contrary conten
fion. The Smith papers want a little more of it
and the Howell organs do not. Their attitude
: the question is significant touching the
’Aincerity of the claims made by the friends of
each candidate. If Mr. Howel! beat Mr. Smith
at Columbus anything like his organs claim,
ithen why not have two or three more debates
‘and put Hoke Smith out of business?

. The Fitzgerald Enterprise is the free offic
ial organ of that city.—lrwinville Courier.
i And would be the paid official = organ
fof this county but for a pernicious and
isurreptitiously-passed = law, requiring the
'sheriff to select a paper published at the
‘county seat, if there be one, regardless of its
‘merit or circulation, whether published by a
negro or with a dozen bonafide subscribers.
The Enterprise is not only the official organ,
but it is the businese man’s organ, the church
than’s organ, the organ of the decent and law
abiding,
E
E_ Criticisims to the contrary notwithstanding,
the spirit of verile discussion, which has charac-
Eerized the present cam paign, will have benefic
jal results. /This much we say to Mr. Howell's
Fcredit. For it will not be seriously denied that
he is largely responsible for it. e not only
bantered Mr. Smith to enter the race, but with
his own pen and through his own paper; started
this campaign of bitter personalities, which has
disgusted some of the more conservative people,
but in the end it will bear good fruit. As yet
Mr. Smith has not been harmed. ‘but is today
stronger with the people than he has ever been
in the past. On the other hand it has nerved
him for an energetic campaign against existing
evils and threatening corruption in the state
government. The benefits will be great,

;- The question has often been asked why
Savagnah cotton prices are usually lower than
Augusta, Memphis, and particularly New
Orleans, Houston and Galvestion. The pub
lished daily quotations show that Savannah is
about one-half cent lower than these markets
named. The Morning News, of the 19th, un
dertakes to explain by stating that it is a dif
ference in the grading and also a difference in
the quality in the New Orleans territory that is
responsible for the variance in prices. Now, if
this be true, and we accept the News as best
authority, then it is important, urgently need
ful, that a new system of grading be adopted
and perfected. ;
In addition to the difference in staple re
ferred to by the News, there is an entirely new
staple now on the market, “Floradora,” of
which a few thousand bales were produced this
season, but in all probability there will b!un
dreds of thousands of bales of this vari on
.the market next fall. This staple sells now at
z to 3 cents more than the ordinary upland.
strikes us that the South has been in the
Pcotton busined® long enough to be able to per
fect a system of grading that will not be mis
deading or confusing. -We know of noagency
iat could be of more service in this respect
; mr five weeks or more the weather bas
been unusually warm. The temperature has
been so high that the®sap has gisen in the fruit
trces and another week or so of warm
weather would be very harmful,
O
Since the institution of the white primary,
the rule has been:
“It is further ordered, That all
white voters, without regard to past
political affiliations, who desire to align
" themselves with the Democratic party
and who will, if their right to partici
pate in said primary be challenged,
pledge themselves to support the nomi
nees of the Democratic party, are here
by declared entitled to vote therein and *
are cordially invited to do so.”
There has not been the slightest deviation,
even in the verbaige, and the State Democratic
Committee should stand by the old policy this
year. '

Clark Howell has been to Eastman and nas
been heard on his candidacy, ard this is what
the people said immediately after his visit:
Mayor Highsmith, of Eastman, gives this
‘as his opinion: ‘I feel sure that Dodge County
will give Mr. Smith a majcrity of her votes when
the election occurs.”
R. B. Carnes, a naval stores dealer says:
“Hoke Smith will carry Dodge by an overwhelm
ing majority.”
L. M. Peacock Jr. says: ‘I feel confidgnt
that Mr. Smith will carry Dodge Ccunty.”’
Col. Wiley Williams says: ‘‘Hoke Smith is
in the lead in Dodge County and it will take a
lot of hard work to take Dodge County away
from him.,”
C. M. Rozer, a well-to-do and succedsful
farmer says: '‘Mr. Smith is bound to win out
in Dodge County.”’ :
Wm. Mcßaesays. ‘I was never more cons
fident of anything in my life than that Hoke
Smith will carry Dodge County by an over
whelming majority.”
Dr. W. E. Miller, one of the leading phy
sicians says: ‘‘When I say that Hoke Smith is
a choice of a majority of the voters of Dodge
County, I express a conviction that I gather
from close association with the people in all
sections of the county.”
C. C. Burch believes: ‘“That Smith will
win out in Dodge by a safe majority.”
J. H. Hargrove says: ‘'ldon’t think there
is much else toit in Dodge County but Hoke
Smith.”
C. H. Chambliss, proprietor of the New
Upland Hotel says: ‘‘They can not take Dodge
County away from Hoke Smith.”
R. E. Ponder, who is familiar with the con
ditions, says: ‘‘Dodge County will give Hoke
Smith a majority.”
Now if that’s the way Clark fixes ’em
wouldn’t it be best for Mr. Smith to stay at
home and let Clark do his campaigning?
AR
Editor of the Telfair Enterprise is not
terse, butimmeasurable emphatic onone of the
greatest issues to come before the next legisla
tur, ‘‘the power of the pass.” We quote him be
low.
" ““‘Suppose you controlled by reason of your
services to one or more railrcads the placing of
‘free passes’for your section of the state. Then,
if you were also in politics, don’t you think you
would be tempted to use your free-pass placing
power in the interest of your individual advance
ment in politics whenever such use did not con
flict with the interests of the railroads.
““We believe most men in such a situation
would not only be tempted but would use what
ever power the free-pass distribution _gave
them to boost their own political strength and
to influence votes on the side of public questions
where their own beliefs directed.
“I¢ is remarkable to note the comparative
number of successful politicians who are em
ployed'as counsel for the railroads. It seems
from our observation that the surest road to be
come a railroad lawyer is to get first. elected or
appointed to certain political office. These rail
road lawyer-politicians are naturally advisors in
the pass distributions.
‘“‘Free passes arealways placed for a pur
pose. Railroads have been known to furnish
transportation as an absolute charity to worthy
people who were placed in unfortunate circum
stances and could not pay the fare. They give
reduced rates to ministers of the gospel and
free transportation to heads of the importrat
scheools and other institutions which collect the
interests and travel of large numbers of people
to certain centers; they furmish newspapers
transportation under contract for advertising;
and they furnish county officers and higher
state officials with free passes because it is a
customn to extend these official courtesies.
“We donot know when or how these official
‘courtesies’ originated, but we are convinced
that the railrcads canvnot afford to hand out so
much value without compensation.
““Werealize that even the newspaper pass,
which is supposed to be paid for in advertising,
has a different kind of ‘‘influence’—causesa
different kind of feeling—from that inspired by
regular cash-bought tickete, and we cannot be
lieve that an editoris naturally more grateful
or reciprocating than are other classes who are
favored with ‘courtesies’ railroads and other
similar institutions.
““We do not like to state it that way, but we
belieye that ‘the power of the pass’ is almost
greaterin these daysthanis the ‘power of the
press.'” . § i

Teach Your Dog City Manners.§
1f you own a dog and live in!
the city teach your dog city man
ners. If you go aboutit right he
will socon learn tbat it is very
bad form to bark at each of the
hundreds of people passing his
gtreet, Tell him that he ap
pears as verdant as people who
want to take up all the sidewalk
themselves. He can soon be
taught that it is only the cow
ardly canine or, silly poodle who
barks all night at the man in the
moou bringing down upon his
head as well as that of his owner,
the anathemas of all hanest peo
ple who believe in sleeping after
night lets her sable curtain
down.
- You can soon make him under
stand that a dog that answers
every noise he hears in the city
will be classed with dogs who
never knew any life but that of
chasing rabbits. Try it and see
how soon your faithful Tray will
become very civil and polite ex
cept when a real burglar is nigh
and then he will perform his
part thoroughly. Teach him
that barking dogs never bite but
that they do annoy their neigh
bors and jar the sensitive nerves
of children and invalids.
“The happiness of your life
depends upon the character of
your thought; therefore watch
well over them, and entertain
nene that are contrary to purity
and truth, so that if your soul
were laid open there would be
nothing but what would bear
light, and call up no blush.”
