Work, work, work—will it never, never end,

Work! Why that is all thereis to life. It
should never end until the end. The consola
tion Editor Grubb finds in ‘good health aod
good spirits” comes from work. Work is the
great paracea. Work and good health ard fine
spirits should be man’s greatest delight.
Without work, work, work, we are sure our

Voters who do their own thinking are stop

Editor Press.
I see that Mr. Howell is very fearful since
be failed to make a deal aith Mr. Thomas E.
Watson, that Mr. Smi h and Watson will dis
rupt the democratic party. Of course Mr. How
elland Mr. Watson would not disrupt the party.
Ob, no, but Mr. Smith and Mr. Watson would.
Come, now, Mr. Howell be truthful, in
spite of what Mr. Watson said about your lying
qualities, and if you cannot be truthful, then be
as truthful as you can, and tell us whether it is
the Democratic party, or the whiskey interest
you are afraid they wili disrupt? They both
are opposed to whiskey, while you and your col
ored friends are for whisky, and waunt to perpet
uate barrooms, withall of it’s attendant curses
to bumanity ard to a christian civilization. Say,
Mr. Howell,are you not somewhat of adisruptor
your little chuffy self? Don’t you remember
last spring that Mr. Haivie Jordan was plead
ing with the farmers to plant less cotton, use
less guano, that Theodore Price, a cotton Bear,
the farmer's very worst possible enemy and rob
ber, to counteract Mr. Jordan’s work in the in
terest of the farmers, got up an advertisement,
advising the farmers to plant all the cotton they
could, that it would be impossible to make too
much cotton. But right here came the cotton
Bear’s extremity, iow to get his advertisment
to the farmers, and he not being an Editor nor
owning a paper, sohe must get some plastic
friend of bis, who has a paper, to ca-ry his de
ceiptful adveriisment to the farmers, so he hir
ed one Clark Howell, of Atlanta, Ga., the ring
candidate for Governor. And Mr Howell did
carry the Cotton Bear’s deceitful, disrupting
advertisment to the farmers. If the robber
Cotton Bear’s intention was not to disrupt, dis-~
organize and destroy the farmers’ organization,
who can tell what were his intentions? Aad Mr,
Howell aided and abetted the B-ar by sending
the Bear's advertisement to the farmers.
He havioga paper aad the Bear baving none,
doing for the Bear that which the old grizz'y
rascal could not do for himself,thereby making
himself a party toan effort to disrupt, disorga
nize and destroy the farmers’organization. Dort
this make you a disruptor, Clark? Be truthful.
Now Mr, Farmer, if you think you npeed a
Cotton Bear in your business, torob you of your
honest toil, and to disrupt, disorganize and de
stroy your organization, and if you think you
peed a rich *‘paid agent’’ of the robber -Cotton
Bear for Governor, a man who aided the Cotton
Bear in an effort to work wreck and ruin to
your organization for your own protection, then
you should unhesitatingly, willingly, glad!y avid
joyfully vote for the very Hon. Clark Howell of
the city of Atlanta, Ga. 2 :
But if you bave no need of such evil influence
and agencies in your business, and if you want
to preserve your organization from wreck and
ruin I think you had better let Mr. Howell se
verely alone, as you would a red hot stove.
Say, Mr. Howell, the farmers are thinking
about commencing their crops for this year,
doa’t you think it is time for you to begin your
crop of robber Cotton Bear advertising? If you
can't get a new cne perhaps the old one will do,
what say you? _

The Enterprise is boping that Judge of the
City Court Kennedy, Solicitor McDonald, Mayor
Drew W. Paulk and our unbribable Police De¢-
partment will do for Fitzgerald what a Law and
Order League may be called upon to do if they
fail,
We are doing what we can for the creation
of a healthy moral sentiment, but there is an
immoral sentiment here that will not down. The
protection that is offered is audacity itself,
We have heard some very ugly things lately,
and we would certainly give names and partic.
ulars—astounding details—but for the fact that
we are publishing a family paper and it would
be entirely unfit for the eyes of the women and
children who read the Enterprise regularly.
We appeal to Judge Kennedy, Solicitor Mc-
Donald, Mayor Paulk and tae police force, in
the name of decency.

The tax dodger will continue to dodge his
just dues to the state just so long as he is allow
ed to send his friends to the legislature. Oar
tax laws are rotten and will remain so uatil a
lot of real reformers, who are not crazy for
office, rise up and take the matter in hand.
If we are nct paying taxes on what we own we
ought to be forced to do it.—Darien Gazette, 3
“Uantil a lot of real reformers who are not
crazy for office rise up’’ etc. Ah! There’s the
rub.
When a lot of real reformers have ever riscn
up, in all the world’s bistory, a lot of other fellows
who are crazy for office have always risen up on
their hind legs and brayed to the tune of dema
gogues. Whoever heard of a lot of real reform
ers that were not denounced by a lot of fellows
who want to defeat the reformers and their laud
able efforts. ?

Birthday Offerings for the Ceorgia Indusirial Home,
OUR ANNIVERSARY APPEAL. : ’
SPECIAL ISSUE—This issue of “Our Right Arm” is our Anniversary Number. The Geors=
gia Industrisl Home will celebrate the Seven'h Anniversary oa Feb. 221, which will mark the'end of
seven years of remarkable history and the beginning of the most promising year since the Home was
established. We are facing a GREAT NEED and a GREAT OPPORTUNITY. Let all who
receive this paper read it carefully and respond to to the noblest impulses of the human heart.
A Personal Word to You.
This is for you, my dear reader, and I most earrestly solicit your interest
in the matter here presented. The situation at the Gzorgia Industrial Home
will appeal to anyone who will consider the matter for one moment. Briefliy
stated, the situation is this: One hundred and fifty children to be sheltered, fed,
clotbed, educated and trained rel:giously, morally and industrially. Hundreds
of others, now peri~hing in the slough of destitution, look to us as their only
source of help. The great need which gave birth to the Home has now come
into full view and urges its claim upon our sympathy and generosity more
strongly than ever before. "
It is clearly seen that we are in the presence ofla great need and a great
opportunity. A great battle is to be fought. It is to be a battle against the
wrongs upon childhood. a battle against the foes of innocent and helpless child
ren, a tattle for bumanity. I have bezn chosen as the general to lead the fight.
I feel most deeply the tremendous responsibility. I eantreat you with all the
earnestness of my soul to give me your sympathy, your prayers and your sup
port, in return for which I pledge my time, talent and energy which I shall zeal
ously and persistently apply toward the fulfillment of the noble mission of the
Georgia Industrial Home, Yours for Humanity,
: J. R. GUNN.
——The Enterprise earnestly appeals to the people of Fitzgerald in
behalf of this Georgia institution. It certainly has the sanction of God -
and every right minded man. e
Fitzgerald has several orphans in this home and two others will seek
its shelter and protection this week. .
