Mitchell county is well able to
fix up her public buildings and
grounds and give them an at¬
tractive appearance.
Wise farmers are not going to
neglect their provision crops this
year. Staple food product will
be bringing war prices before
summer.—Sparta Isnmaelite.
The County Commissioners
need not be in a hurry about it,
out splendid‘opportunity they really are missing a
when they
don’t have the court house square
terraced and leveled up.
“The laborer is worthy of his
hire.” No merchant can make a
practice of selling goods at cost
and remain in business. Nor
can a newspaper give away its
space and five.

The Republican idea of rec¬
iprocity seems to be to protect
the trust in congress and to be
protected by the trusts campaign
contributions when elections roil
around—Atlanta Journal.
The Enterprise is here for the
purpose of doing all it can to¬
wards helping build up Camilla
and Mitchell county, and there is
nothing that will help along this
line more than neat, attractive
streets, sidewalks and public
buildings and grounds.
How about organizing a public
improvement club? Can’t some
one suggest ideas along this line?
A great deal can be accomplish¬
ed in the way of beautifying the
town if we will but unite our ef¬
forts and all work together for a
common purpose.
The Panama Canal Treaty has
been ratified by the U, S. Senate
by a vote of 72 to 17. 16 Demo¬
crats were for it and 17 against
it in the total vote, Both the
Georgia Senators, Bacon and
Clay, voted for it. Whether
right or wrong, the United States
will proceed at once to dig the
big ditch-,
To-morrow will settle the ques¬
tion tor sometime to come as to
whether or not Mitchell county
will remain in the list of prohi¬
bition counties. The Enterprise
will not presume to toll you how
to vote. You are free American
citizens and are supposed to
know what is for the best inter¬
est of yourself and your county.
The farmer who neglects corn,
potatoes, peas, hay and other
money making crops for cotton,
will find he has made the biggest
kind of a mistake. Raise plenty
of hog, hominy and hay not only
for your own use, but for the ac¬
commodation of th< se who do
nut, and then your cotton crop
will furnish you spending mon¬
ey.- Ex,
The Russian-Japan war is pro¬
gressing slowly. Neither, from,
the reports sent out, seem to be
doing very much. Russia says
shi was not ready for war, but
that something will be doing as
soon as she does get ready. In
the mean time the little Japs are
going ahead quietly and giving
the big Bear every lick they can
without saying anything much
about it;
We heard one farmer talking
the other day whose head is lev¬
el. He said that his plan always
had been and would continue to
be'to raise plenty of hog and
hominy, regardless of the high
price of cotton. In fact, said he
‘‘I don’t intend to increase my
cotton crop a single acre, even if
the staple shotild go to 25 cents.”
—Hawkinsville Courier-Dispatch.
The Quitman Advertiser says:
“It never pays a man to lie to
get business. He may gain a
temporary advantage: may get a
few dollars by false pretenses,
but his gains by disreputable
methods will in time be losses.
There is nothing that pays so
well as sterling honesty, even ib
this lying, deceitful, sinful era of
greed and grab. A dollar dis¬
honestly gained is a curse in¬
stead of a blessing.”
It’s an absurd idea some peo¬
ple have that its the duty of a
country editor to tackle every
two side! question that bobs
up and fight other people’s bat¬
tles for nothing. Its the editor’s
duty to tackle just such ques¬
tions as he may see fit, and at
toe same time open his columns
to all other reasonable men to do
the same thing over their own
signatures. The man who is un¬
willing to do this has no right to
criticise.—Georgetown Tribune,
AN EARLY PRIMARY.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee Will Meet Feb. 29th.
Chairman D. J. Brown of the
State Executive Committee has
called a convention to meet in At¬
lanta cn February 29th. This is
considerably earlier than the
State Committe has been con¬
vened in a good many years.
Chairman Brown said, however,
that everybody was anxious to
know what was going to be done
about the primary date. He se¬
lected Feb. 29, because it is the
fifth Monday in the month, and
it will be more convenient for the
out-town members.
The general idea seems to be
that there will be an early prim¬
ary and a convention held some¬
time before July 6, so it may
name delegates to the national
convention as well .as attend to all
other matters before the party.

Big Contest Between the Schools
of Mitchell—One Month Left
for Training.
The largest and most exciting
contest in Oratory, Elocution,
and Music ever had in this coun¬
ty will take place one month
from today, Friday, March 26,
at the Auditorium of Camilla
High School.
On this occasion the successful
contestants will receive hand¬
some awards distinguishing them
as the champions of Mitchell
county. This is a new and at
tractive feature introduced by the
management of the Camilla High
School. As formerly: the win¬
ners in this preliminary contest
will represent the county in the
grand contest at the Albany
Chautauqua, which begins April
26th.
The various schools of the
county are training hard their
pupils, and it is impossible to
make any certain forecast as to
which will have the victory. We
insert the following from the Ba
eonton Items of last week: —
“As the number stands now Ba
conton will have six contestants
in Camilla for the places -at the
Chautauqua : two in instrumental
music, one in vocal music, two
in reading and one in oratory.
M» • Lane, whose training brought
Baconton’s medal last year, will
train those in. reading and ora¬
tory, while Miss Bacon, that
sweetest of musicians will train
those in music. T e other towns
had best prepare for at least a
contested fight.”
Dr. John M. Spence, has en¬
tered the race for representative
in the legislature from Mitchell
county. See his announcement
