_Thirty-five gentlemen, most cf
them supoorters of Hon. Hoke
Smith for governor, were pres
ent at the court house last night
when the Hoke Smith Club ofij
Thomas. county was organized.
There was a considerable amount l
of enthusiasm for that candidate|
and plans for a thorough orgaci
zation of the county were made.
The ball was started to rolling
by Mr. Herbert Brandon, who
nominated W. A. Pringle for
temporary chairman. The same
gentleman was made chai:man
of the meeting, and S. W. Davis
was made secretary. The secre
tary read a list of 81 residents
of Thomas county who had sig
ned, a pledge to voteand work
for Hoke Smith. After the roll
was called several more signed,
and a few others went up after
the meeting, so in all the Thom-l
as couanty club has between
ninety and a hundred members.
H.J. Maclntyre, in an eloquent
speech, nominated Dr. T. M.
Mclntosh as president of the
club. The Doctor was unani
mously elected and accepted the
honor in his customary eloquent;
style. He thanked his fellow cit
izens fur the compliment and
caused applause when he refer
red to Mr. Smith as the great
champion of the people against
corporate greed, corruption and
politicians. The following offic
ers were chosen by acclamation:
H. J. Maclatyre, Vice-President
and S. W. Davis, Secretary.
A lively debate as to whether
the organization should be called
the Thomas County or Thomas
ville Hoke Smith club was par
ticipated in by the two Brandous,
J.B. Way, W. P, Sparks, J S
Ward, J.D. Strioger, H, J. Mc-
Intyre and others. The former
name was decided upon.
The advisory committee, to
confer with other parts of the
county and supervise the forma
tion of a club in every precinct,
consists of W, H. and H. H.
Brandon, J. B. Way, J. D. String
er, J.S. Ward, Jr.,, W.A. Prin
gle and H. J. Maclntyre. They
held their first meeting imme
diately after the club adjourned,
which event took place at 9:45.
The fact developed that Mr.
Smith would probably be here
during court week in April. The
president will correspond with
him and fix a date to suit his
convenience. When he comes
they propose to have a great
Hoke Smith rally in Thomasville
All of Mr. Smith's supporters
say he wil] carry the county, and
they plan to make assurance
doubly sure by hard work,

Tax sales on delinquent land
in Irwin county went higher last
Tuesday than at anytime since
the colony was organized.
Mrs. E. W, Reid, of Tifton,
returned home Tuesday after
spending a week visiting with
Mrs. E. E. Perkins of this city.
And now we are putting on
city airs with a travelliag fruit
wagon, by W. W, Martin, who
makes his headquarters near the
Wilcox & Dorminey corner,
Evangelist Stanton, and his
singer, Milam, held special
services for the Biue and the
Gray, at the Central M. E.
church on Tuesday.. A good
sized audience was in attendance.
Montgomery Ward & Co., of
Chicago, Ilis., sent the free read
ing room of this city, two well
bound volumes entitled ‘‘On the
road to Arcad:a’ by Mabel Nel
son Thurston and ‘'Natural
Theology.”
Where is the Blue and Gray
Park Association and where are
the seats belonging to the park?
What is being done to make that
park the attraction of the city—
a thing of beauty and joy for
ever. That park pntiato proper
shape would lessen crime—edu
cate the young—comfort the
aged and bless all of our citizens
and advertise the town.
The National G. A. R. Encam
pment will meet in Minueapolis,
Mion., on the thirteenth of next
August. The railroads have
offecred such low rates that the
Council are not contemplating
asking anything better. There
is no prettier or more interest
ing city than Minneapolis with
the great Mississipi river runing
through it with its great lumber=-
ing interests, its streets thirty
miles in length and bordered
with magnificent homes—a city
of lakes—real lakes—fine air and
bracing climate.
We hope every church inthe
Association will be represented,
whether they bave a Missionary
Society or not. Please notify
Mrs. W. J. Barton, Ocilla, Ga.,
who will come, so homes will be
prepared for you.

~.ln speaking of the Spanish-
American war when some 300
men of this colony enlisted, were
mustered into service and went
to the war, among them was
Arthur Collier, then a young
’man in his teens—now a stout,
lbroad shouldercd man one of our
night police. He was the young
bsoldier into whose hands Mother
Eaterprise and Mrs. Dempsey
placed the flag which our boys
carried all through that war and
Collier brought it home with
him and today, his voice takes
01 a caressing tone when he
mentions it. His greatest re
gret is over the loss of his identi
fi:atioa badge which we sent
from here apd he wore all thro
the war to have it stolen from
him by a curio friend in Ten
nesee.
A little lad—not much bigger
than a grain of wheat (figurativ
ely speaking) applied for a posi
tion in the Enterprise office.
B ing persistent he was granted
t e privilege of his ability. When
the whistle blew for dinner on
his first day he put on his hat
and started home with the rest
ot the MEN. As hefneared home
his strides became more lengthy
his hands delved deeper into his
pockets—his head took a higher
and more independent tilt and
his little heels a louder echo on
the sidewalk. He was now a
wage earner. He was a citizen
of this great commonwealth—he
was of more impo-tance in the
world than ever before. He was
a laborer ready to battle with the
world to the fullest capacity of
his eleven short years. We said
nothing but did a lot of thinking.
This boy was an exemplification
of the pieNITY of labor. It had
tranformed the shrinking, timid
child iato an independent, self
respecting citizen of the greatest
country in the world. There
was a grandeur about that little
freckled face boy—a spark of the
Divine—and yet we wished that
he was in school every hour of
the school year.
