Mitchell “Wet” By a Majority
of 15.
Agreeable t > the published
"Notice” an election* on the pro¬
hibition question was held at the
different voting precincts in the
county on last Saturday to de
termine whether Mitchell county
would remain in the prohibition
column, or whether it was the
will of the people that intoxica¬
ting liquors should be sold in the
county and when the vote was
consolidated on last Monday it
was found that the county had
declared for liquor by a small
majority of 15 votes.
The election in Camilla passed
otf quietly and with apparently
no friction between the two con¬
tending elements, and while it is
true there were two or three al¬
tercations, they were in no way
connected with the election, but
were individual matters, which
were adjusted Monday morning
before,Mayor Pro. Tem. M. C.
Bennet, by the parties contribu¬
ting five dollars each to the town’s
treasury.
The result of the election is,
as far as the e litor of the Enter -
prise can learn, tha fruits of
indifference and carelessness on
the part of those who claim to be
in favor cf prohibition, but did
not take interest ehougli in the
matter to even register and it is
said that about half of those
tful register did not turn out and ,
v °te.
Mitchell County has about 2,-
800 voters. There were about
1,400 reg ; stered and about half
that number felt interest enough
ill the matter to goto the polls
and.TOte! and vote!

The editor of the Enterprise
is a strong believer in prohibi¬
tion' and gave his reason for that
belief when the notice cal!'
ing far the election was first pub¬
lished, and truly regrets that the
result commits the county to the
sale, but now that the die has
been cast and the people have
said by incur ballots and by tnoir
indifference we want intoxicants
sold in Mitchell, it is right, under
the law, that the minority yield- to
the will of the majority.
But, if there is any way by
which the matter can be compro¬
mised so that bar-rooms cannot
be opened we believe it should be
done, yet we have no suggestions
to make or plans to advocate.
The terrible ox has been turn¬

rative of the birthday of Wash¬
ington appropriate exercises were

deserve especial mention, and
among them we may be allowed
i to give especial r.oio of Master
» Plant. Plant Gull^ns. Cullens, whn who nftnHp.rftrf rendered his his
recitation in perfect style.
The large attendance of friends
and patrons is commendatory.

school children will be tne Oratory
and Music contest on the 26th.
