Bond Election.
The Enterprise calls atten¬
tion to the notice in another col¬
umn calling for an election for
bonds with which to build a jail
that will be in keeping with the
progress of the county and to
meet the demands of the times.
Let every voter who has the. in¬
terest of his county at heart
consider well the question and
let progress be the motto
The Democratic Congressional
Executive Committee for the 2nd
district met in Albany yesterday
and fixed the primary for April
20th and called for a convention
for April 29th at which time the
action of primary will be ratified
and the result declared. Will
publish full proceedings of meet¬
ing next week.
I beg to inform the citizens of
this and adjoining counties that
I have with me for the spring
season an experienced trimmer,
Miss Bramlet, of Atlanta.

Impurities Are the Cause of Geor
gia Syrup Souring and
Fermenting,
The analysis of the syrup made
by the Tillman process stands;
Purity 93.5, 94.2, 94.5. Tnere
were three samples sent to the
chemist. There were, also, three
samples sent, made by the old
process, which shows a purity
(the samples maker's) being from 36.5, the best
syrup of'36-7, 37.0.
All syrup, made by the old pro¬
cess, and kept over, has long
since soured and fermented, Tillman
while that made by the
process is as sweet, nutritious
and well flavored as it ever was.
It is but reasonable to conclude
that syrup made by the old pro¬
cess will not be in much demand
another season; and it is just as
reasonable to conclude that that
made by the Tillman process will
readily sell, in the markets, for
more than double what can he
got for that made by the old pro¬
cess.
HENRY G. TURNER HAS
RESIGNED.
Judge Evans Succeeds Him
Justice Henry G. Turner has
resigned from his. seat on the
Supreme Court of Georgia, and
Governor Terrell has appointed
Judge'Beverly D. Evans as his
successor.
Mr. Turner does not give his
reasons for resigning, but it is
thought that illness in his family
is the cause.
Judge Evans was a candidate
for Justice Fish’s place on the
supreme bench, and this ap¬
pointment leaves Justice Fish
without an opponent..
Chief Justice Simmons is now
the only opposed statehou.se of¬
ficer. Judge Russell is contest¬
ing for his position.
A bill defining anarchists and
providing for their punishment
by death lias been introduced in
the Virginia legislature. An
anarchist is, according to the
bill, any one who uses explosives
for robbery or other purposes,
places obstructions or explosives
on railroad tracks attacks offi¬
cers of the law, makes attacks
while masked, commits criminal
assaults on any female, or har¬
bors or conceals any one guilty
of such crimes. His punishment
is fixed at death by hanging, the
governor being empowered to
offer a reward of $1,000 for his
capture.—Exchange.
It would be a good idea for the
Georgia legislature to adopt the
above, or something better if it
can be had, into law.

VICTORY GOES TO SYLVESTER
County Site of Worth To Be
Moved from Isabella.
Sylvester, ^farch 16.— (Spe¬
cial.)—“After a hard fought con¬
test in this county to move the
county site from Isabella to Sy]*
vester, the election today result
ed in 2.126 votes for removal to
Sylvester to 430 against Syl\es¬
ter.
The election passed off quietly
everywhere.”
The Enterprise congratulates
Sylvester and the people of
Worth on this decision. It is
one that the editor of this paper
did what he could on former occa¬
sions to bring about, but the con¬
ditions then were materially
different from what they are now
but the pluck and enterprise cn
the part of Sylvester citizens in
building up a nice little county
town has won the day.
