Pelham mil Camilla Papers Discuss
the Questl°n in f Interesting Way.
Yesterday’s Pelham and Camilla
papers have some interesting after-
math as to the bids of their respec
tive townB. It shows that the
brethren are not dwelling together
in Biblical peace and unity:
"The Thomasvllle Tlmes-Enter-
prise, after an interview with Dr.
M. R. Mallette, the Trustee from
Thomas county, says: “The col
lege wonld have probably have gone
fo Camilla bad it not been for the
fact that their cash offered was not
hacked by ironclad guarantees.'
Now, who raised the question of the
ironcladness of her offer! Who of
the trustees was it that questioned
the honesty and the sincerity of the
men representing Camilla, as her
committee, her spokesmen, In pre
senting her bid? Surely it was not
her own trustee that thus knifed his
own county, and if It was, what
'purpose could he have had In view
ether than the hope that he might
satisfy his own personal ambition
and selfish ends.
"Camilla’s offer was an hones
hid, hacked by every Interest in the
city and by nine-tenths of-the tax
payers of the city and by business
men who have never yet repudiated
any obligation and if the school had.
come here every dollar-would have
been paid, and it would have been
nurtured and cared tor 'with the
best efforts of her people and those
of the county for miles In every dl-
rection."
The Pelham Journal says:
"Camilla’s bid was high but its
weak point lay in the fact that it was
rather a proposition to raise the
money In the future than an assu-
rance that it was immediately forth
coming. They stated that by wir
ing they could arrange to put up at
once a certified check for $10,000
Of the amount subscribed.! Under
the circumstances Camilla made a
fine showing.
"Caift Tift offered to give a
check for Tilton's entire cash bid on
the following day if wanted.
"Pelham'* bid wm la business
shape with certified checks guaran
teeing that the cash had already
been raised.
. "Pelham also made to the OamlJ-
IS people an offer to put tip a certi
fied check for $5,000 to go to tho
school If secured . to Camilla, pro
vided Camilla would do the earn
for Pelham. This would have had
the effect of adding $10,000 each to j
to bids of Camilla and Pelham but
Pelham declined the proposition-

people of tbe town for innumerable
kindnesses. I only accept the call
to Augusta because it opens fields
of brosder usefulness. - I have
always felt that Yhomaavlll* was

All of the conditions of my work
have been most harmonious and
sever my connections with the place,
only because I feel It my duty.

to all the people of the town, for he
has been active in the various
branches of community life, espec
