) Rome, Ga,, April 19. 1906.
) A fair and an honest ballot of the del
| egates of the county superintendent.’s
~ convention of Georgia, with seventy-six
. counties represented, taken by G. C.
( Adams, county superintendent of New
| ton county, and myself. resulted as fol
| lows: :
) Hoke Smith, 48; Clark Howell, 7; Nur
| nally, 7; Estill 4; Jim Smith, 2; Russell,
. 2; non-committal, 10, :
j Four other delegates at the Cherokee
hotel request that their votes be record
| ed for Hoke Smith, making a total of 52
) for him, as against 22 for all the other
) candidates.
\_ Secretary, Hon. M. L. Duggan, of
j Hancock, says that The Journal may
. quote him as saying that all the com
| missiocers with whom be has discussed
| politics are of the opinion tbat Hoke
} Smith will carry their counties by large
\ majorities.
? The delegate from Marion county,
| who voted for Clark Howell, says that
‘ Hoke Smith wili carry his county.
|- Superintendent E L. Ray, of the
| new county of Tombs, says tbat Hoke
. Smith will carry the county and will get
{ more votes than all the other candidates.
§ The delezate from Early voted for
| Estill, but sard that bis county would go
) for Hoke Smith. 7The Madison county
) delegate voted for Jim Smitb, but said
| ‘that if the election should take place now
, Hoke Smith would carry his county,
! He added, however, that when the elec
) tion is held, Jim Smith would carry the
) county and that the politicians are not
) going to let Hoke Smith be governor.
) Hon. Lawrence Duffey, d-legate from
| Henry, says that he beard the Smith
| Russell debate hnd that be believes that
.\ Hoke Smith will get five votes to all the
| other’s one in his county.
) Hon. E R King says that the race
| in his county (Clay) is between Hoke
- Smith and Clark Howell and that the
. former will double the latter,
< Hon. Henderson Hall, Jr., of Baker,
) says his county is irrevokably for Hoke
) Smith,
) Hon. E. W. Childs, of Randolph, says
| that Hoke Smith will get an overwhelm
' jng wajority over all the othcr candi
-3 dates in his county.
) Hon G. G. Strange, of BRanks, in
) Judge Russell’'s circui*, says that he
f) believes Hoke Smith wili carry his
a county.
The above illustrates how these dele
) gates view the gubernatorial situation.
) It is the concensus of opinion of these
9 delcgates that the people of Georgia are
. so overwhelmingly in favor of Hoke
\ Smith that there is no chance for the
/ politicians to defeat bim, and that it will
' be a bright day in Georgia, educatioa
» ally, when the people sball cast their
) ballots in electing Hoke Smith the next
) governor of this state.

The Enterprise bopes that the animosities
that have been aroused and which is &0 patural

xR :
The only issue in the present campaign
that has intcrested us ix the NEW COUNTY.
Whatever happens at the polls tomorrow, the
New County is safe so far as Irwin is concerned.
The opposition to the New County has always
been weak. The candidates put out or encour
aged by the opponents to the New County, that
is the people directly interested in Irwiaville,
have declared in favor of the New County.
Hon. B. E. Wilcox, our present representative,
who is one of the candidates in this election,
has so repeatedl y uncquivccally declared his in
tention to stand by the New County bill and
urge its passage at the next session of the legi--
lature, that the purpose of the small opposition
is thwarted in any event. Noman doubts that
it was their intention to get Mr. Wilcox i 1 this
race with the hope of seeing him defeated, aand
thus so dissatisfied that he would oppose the
bill that was introduced by him at the last ses
sion of the legislature and which he now promi
ses to push to its passage. '
A R
~ In the present campaign there is nothicg
more gratifying, from the Eaterprise stand
point, thaa the fact that the court bouse crowd
failed in their efforts to rob the New Couaty
movement of the assistance and iofluence of
Hon. B. E. Wilcox. Mr. Wilcox states that he
knows the New County is favored by an over
whelming majority of the citizens of the county,
and that he will faithfully carry out their wishes
at the next scssion of the legislature. Failing
in this, of course they bhave gained nothing ex
cept a littie trouble fr their pains,
M A
Dr. E. J. Dorminy is not only favorabl: to
the New County and a consistent prohibitioaist,
but he is one of the county’s most bonorable acd
trustworthy citizeaas, He will make the county
an excellent represcatative, besides being of
valuable assistance at the coming session in the
matter of New County legisiation.
M oR
Let’s make it unanimous, if not unanimous,
as upnanimous as we can.

Fitzgerald real estate has advanced a little
since the A. & B. shop proposition Lecame
known and some trades have been made at the
advanced prices, but as soon as it is realized
fully what we are to get in the way of shops,
division headquarters, the rew county site in
all for the year 19::6, we expect to see prices
soar away up yonder. Real estate is entirely
too cheap in Fitzgerald-and has been ever since
the second or third year of the Colony.
O
We probably do not fully appreciate this
God favored section, free from casualties, al
though we read of the stupendous catastrophes
that visit other parts of the earth,
“United we stand, divided we fall.”’
We don’t know who first said it, nor why,
but the feilow was up agaiost a propo
s tion very like the present campaign,
and that rule ‘aj plies to Fitzgerald now
as strictly as it could ever be applied.
Let’s make it unanimous.
