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. r ----------------.— a— , ---------- ,,, 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. $100 Reward, $100.

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.
