FRIDAY. APRIL 29, 1904.
Defeated candidates cau find

Bible: “Many are called but few
art chosen ”
Just received ten barrels of
fine cut glassware at the Cincin
nati Bai-gain House. Come and
get first choice; all going cheap.
The Louisana Purchase Expo¬
sition opens in St. Louis tomor

A very cheap rate has been put
on by all the roads and this will
probably be the largest attended
exposition in the history of the
United States. The hotel capac¬
ity is 47,000 guests per day' at
prices ranging from 50c a day up.
The Common Enemy.
The tendency manifested by
newspapers claiming to be
democratic to give themselves
over to criticism of democrats
rather than devote their attention
to the common enemy of detnoc
r e.v, is to be deprecated no mat
tir in which direction they tend.
only certain result of such a
ilicy is to make for strife which
will injure the chances of the
party in the coming election.
This is true whether it is ap¬
plied to those who are endeavor¬
ing to deprecate the candi dacy of
Judge Parker making it appear
that be stands for only one set
of democratic politicians, or to
those who seem bent upon at¬
tacking other men who aspire to
the presidential nomination.
As we see it, there is absolute¬
ly no sense in this sort of criti¬
cism. Its natural result is to¬
ward misrepresentation and the
opening up cf the old sores. It
is easy enough to deride, belittle,
c-iticise and misrepresent; but
this sort of thing does not make
f >r democratic harmony, and
without harmony that is real,
there can be no hope for demo¬
cratic success.
All democrats and all lovers of
honest government have a com¬
mon enemy in the republican
party. Differences of opinions
as to the availability of aspirants
for nomination at the hands of
the democratic party are natural
but there is no excuse for their
expression in terms that only
make for party strife. These
should be reserved for the real
enemy.
The republican administration
and the republican party pre¬
sent a sufficiently vulnerable tar¬
get for democratic attacks and
ail of them should be aimed in
that direction.
The above article from
Constitution is timely and in the
opinion of the Enterprise calls
attention to an evil that does, but
should not exist. Democrats
need not hope to accomplish any
political success until they can
all get together and work united¬
ly for the interest of the party
instead of doing and saying
things that tend to make a breach
in the party ranks.
Action of the Committee.
The county executive commit¬
tee, after consolidating the vote
of primary held last week, ap¬
pointed the following as the rep
lesentatives of Mitchell county
to the Congressional Convention
to be held in Albany today:
Messrs. C. M, Baggs, S. S. Ben
net, R, D. Bush, B. F. Dawson,
E. M. Davis and J. J. Mize.
The meeting endorsed the can¬
didacy of Judge Alton B. Parker
for the nomination as the stan¬
dard bearer for the democratic
party.
Messrs. J. W. Everett and J.
B. Lewis were selected as dele¬
gates to the state convention
instructed to vote for
Griggs as one of the delegates
from the state at large to the St.
Louis Convention. The
then adjourned without
delegates to the senatorial
vention or electing a new
tive Committee to serve for
next two years. -
There ha9 been some talk
calling a mass meeting to trv and
undo some things that have been
done and to finish up the
that was left undone. The unfin¬
ished business of selecting
gates to the Senatorial convention
and a new Executive committee
is in order, but the
can’t see where any good can
accomplished by trying to
what has already been done.

BOOMING SOUTH GEORGIA.
A. & B Road Creates Industrial
Department.
Mr. George W. Duncan, of Ma¬
con, was in Moultrie Monday.
Ivlr. Duncan is Land and Indus¬
trial agent of the Atlanta & Bir¬
mingham Rai’wayCo, His office
is in Macon and he was making a
tour of the road, studying condi¬
tions and listing available farm
lands. It is his purpose to carry
on a campaign of advertising in
middle Georgia and among home
seekers everywhere. He has
great faith in the future of all
South Georgia, and especially
Colquitt county. He thinks he
will be able to turn scores of home
seekers in -this direction before a
very great while.—Doerun Head
light.
This is commendable on the
part of the Atlantic <fe Birming¬
ham Railway Company, and is
but following in the steps of the
Central, and Georgia Southern
& Florida, who, with the untiring
efforts of Maj. W. L. Gleaner as
Industrial agent, have done much
towards the development of the
country through which these
roads run, and the people appre¬
ciate the efforts that these agen¬
cies have made to better their
condition and settle up their un¬
inhabited territory.
It is true that great progress
and improvement has been made
along the different roads under
the management of the Atlantic
Coast Line, better known as the
old Plant System, but it has not
been brought about by any ma¬
terial aid furnished by this great
railroad system, which has grown
rich through the patronage of
the farmers and business men
located along their line of rail¬
roads. It is true that Mr. Plant
did much for Florida in the way
of helping to develop her re¬
sources, but the people along its
original lines of roads, the old S.
F. & \V. and B. & W.’ have been
left to work out their own salva¬
tion as best they could, being
forced to take just what was giv¬
en to them in the way of public
accommodations. Despite these
facts, there is no section of
the country that has grown and
developed more, but its era of
development can be directly
traced back to ihe building of
other lines oi railroads in this
section, with the natural advan¬
tages of the territory and not to
any material help or encourage¬
ment of the A. C. L. System
whose policy seems wrapped up
in its fine Florida through trains
for tourists and common coach
attachments to frieght trains for
the accommodation of those who
really furnish the business and
pay the freight.
An intimate friend of Judge
Alton B. Parker is quoted in the
New York Herald as saying the
Judge is opposed to the idea of
making an active canvass, in the
event that he is selected as the
Democratic standard bearer by
the St. Louis Convention. Judge
Parker, according to his friend*
is of the opinion that, in the case
of the presidency of the United
States, the office should seek the
man, and not the man the office.
The position is one of so great
honor that he would avoid any¬
thing that savored of or suggest¬
ed a scramble for it__Savannah
New.
If he is nominated at St, Louis,
that is sufficient indication that
the office is seeking the man and
then the man should show his ap¬
preciation by accepting and do¬
ing all he can towards securing
his election. He must be the
leader.
