Judge Sheffield, of the Pataula
circuit, is solving the blind tiger
problem in the dry counties of his
circuit by sending the violators
to prison without the opportunity
of paying out. When he gets all
the tigers in the pen, the proba¬
bility is the several affected will
be not only theoretically but
practically dry. A judge with
thb backbone to apply the rem¬
edies provided by the legislature
in such matters deserves com¬
mendation — Fitzgerald Enter¬

The Federal Grand Jury have
found wholesale indictments
against express agents through¬
out Kansas and prohibition coun¬
ties in Texas, and of liquor deal*
ers who have been shipping
liquor into. these prohibition
states. It seems that the ex¬
press agents have been acting
as agents for the liquor dealers
and to avoid the law, the whis¬
key was shipped in sealed pack¬
ages addressed to fictitious
names and when not called for
were sold by the express agent
for charges

The Camilla Enterprise this
week shows marked improve¬
ment under the practical man¬
agement of Editor W. A. Allen.—
Albany Herald.
Mr. W. A. Allen, for so long
publisher of the Worth County
Local, has taken charge of the
Camilla E nterprise. We
thought that he could not long
remain out of editorial harness.
He is a good man and we wish
him prosperity in his new field of
labor.—Cuthhert Leader.
The Camilla Enterprise, that
has been so ably edited by M. E.
Bush, is now under the business
and editorial management of W.
A. Allen. Mr. Allen has several
years experience in newspaper
work and we predict for the En¬
terprise a continuation of its
progressiveness.—Times, Thom¬
as ton, Ga.

Farming That Pays.
Messrs. W. L. Bennett, Hardy
Butler and others in and around
Camilla have solved the problem
of making money on a farm in
that they do not depend altogeth*
et on cotton as a money crop.
These gentlemen always see
to it that the farm is made as
near self-sustaining, as possible
by planting a plentiful supply of
food eropsfor both man and beast
and then they see lo it that all
the cotton chat can be made is
produced.
In connection with their crops
these gentlemen are engaged in
raising and fattening for market
both cattle and hogs, which is
proving to be a source of much
profit to them as shown from the
fact that they recently shipped
three carloads of fine beef cattle
co Jacksonville, Fla., and on the
same da, a carload of porkers to
Albany. It is said that the beef
cattle averaged them about $20
per head while the porkers net¬
ted the shippers quite a neat
sum.
Diversified farming is the kind
of farming that pdys and there
is no section in Georgia that is
better adapted for it than Mitch¬
ell county. All that a man has
to do to succeed is to put his
shoulder to the wheel and pay
close attention to his business.
