FRIDAY, MARCH 25, I0p4.
Teddy has ordered congress to
pass a 825.000,000 service pen¬
sion bill. The pension grabbers
must bo satisfied in some way.
Tm key must be getting ready
to do some fighting her own self
as she is reported as having
bought another cruiser and a
large lot of rnauser rifles.
Col. John Triplett, the late vet¬
eran editor of the Thomasville
„iL.w Enterprise says that
Mitchell county is the best aver¬
age county in south Georgia, and
he can be relied upon as authori¬
ty for he has traveled extensive¬
ly over all of them and knows
whereof be speaks-
Marshall E. Bush Lead.
Camilla was shocked on Fri¬
day afternoon of last week when
it was announced that Mr. M. E.
Bush had died thatj morning at
nine o’clock at his hotel in San
Antonia, Texas where he and his
loving wife had arrived that
morning at 9 o’clock enroute to
New Mexico, having left Camilla
on Tuesday morning before,
Mr. Bush had been a sufferer
for aoout two years with pulmon¬
ary trouble but at the ( time he
left home seemed to be somewhat
stronger than he had been for
some time.
Upon the advice of physicians
and friends he had arranged his
business affairs so as to spend
some time in west Texas andJNew
Mexico, where it was hoped that
he would be able to arrest the en¬
croachments of the terrible dis¬
ease and possibly overcome it
altogether, but fate decreed other¬
wise and within an hour after his
arrival in San Antonio, he was
attacked with a severe hemor¬
rhage and died in a very few
minutes.
Within a few' hours after their
arrival in San Antonio the devot¬
ed wife, a stranger in a strange
city; had arranged for the return
trip, and with' the remains of her
noble husband was enroute for
Camilla, the home of relatives
and friends who loved them. The
journey was indeed a sad one.
At Montgomery, Ala., Mrs. Bush
was joined by her sister, Mrs. W.
W. Meadows, who accompanied
her on the remaining portion of
the return trip. Judge I. A.
Bush also met her in Montgom¬
ery and returned with them, ar¬
riving in Camilla at 6 o’clock on
Sunday afternoon.
The funeral services were held
at the Methodist church at 10
o’clock Monday morning, where
it was manifested bj r the
gathering of people the high os~
teem in which Mr. Bush was
by those who knew him.
felt eulogies were delivered by
pastor Rev, O. T. Clark and Rev.
J. L. Underwood, who urged up¬
on all young people that they
emulate his moral and Christian
character which was above re¬
proach.
Tne burial was at Camilla’s
new cemetery where he was laid
to rest beside loved ones by
the Knights of Pythias, of which
order he. was an honored member,
Mr. E. M. Davis presiding as
Prelate.
The editor of the Enterprise
had only had an acquaintance of
a few months with the deceased,
but in that short time he learned
to esteem Marshall Bush as a
friend and true man, but the best
thing that can be said of him was
the utterance of one of his com¬
panions in boyhood and y;ung
manhood. “I have known Mar¬
shall Bush all my life and I never
knew him to engage in anythihg
of a questionable character or to
do a small, mean act of any kind
whatever.”
The relatives from a distance
who were in attendance upon the
funera' were: Rev, and Mrs. R.
L. Wiggins, of Lumpkin, Ga.,
Rev. S. P. Wiggins, of West
Point, Ga., Mrs. YV. W. Meadows,
of Montgomery, Ala;, Dr. I. A.
Bush, of Baltimore, Md., Mr.
Ross Bush, from Oxford, and
Miss Calista Bush from Macon,
with Judge Sheffield and Messrs.
Charlie and Smiley Bush, of
Arlington.
Under the recent act of the
legislature it is illegal to shoot,
ensnare, trap betweehjthe or kill in any man¬
ner snipe, months of
March loth and July 15. The
law is very emphatic and says
liable any one purchasing snipe will be
to the same proscecution
as the party who kills them.
PELHAM’S BIG FIRE.
Flames Monday Ni^ht Swept
Away Property Valued at
$ 75 , 000 .
While a large number of Ca¬
milla’s young people were having
all the enjoyment and pleasure
possible to be derived from so¬
cial mingling on last Tuesday
evening their neighbors at
Pelham were engaged in fight¬
ing the flames that threat¬
ened for a while to destroy the
larger portion of the business
Part of this enterprising town.
The alarm of lire was sounded
at the oil mill of the Hand Trad¬
ing Co.', at about 9 o’clock. Fire
was discovered coming from the
roof of the oil mill, and cn ac¬
count of failure of obtaining a
sufficient pressure, the fire sys¬
tem attached was useless, ami
the bucket brigade could do
nothing against such a fire.
The flames spread rapidly to
the guano factory, which, togeth¬
er with the oil mill was totally
destroyed. At one time it look¬
ed like the business portion of
the town would be destroyed,
but the wind changed in time.
The livery stable west of the
railroad caught several times
and the residences of Dr. W. S.
Hill and -J. W. McKenzie were in
danger a while, from falling
sparks.
About 15,000 gallons of oh in
the tanks made a lire equal to
that caused by the burning mill.
Several-box cars on the railroad
caught fire, and one was des¬
troyed. It contained about ten
tons of fertilizer.
Mr. J. L. Hand states that the
loss was about 840,000 with in¬
surance of $27,000; that he will
commence to rebuild at once*
Brick will be used to build a
modern, up-to-date mill, and
Mr. Hand expects to be ready
for another season’s business on
about August 1.
The Oil Mill Company will
probably be in die market for an
entire oil mill outfit, as most of
the machinery is a total loss. It
was fortunate that the fire came
when it did, at the close of a
season, as a month or two ear¬
lier would have caught them
with large fertilizer contracts to
till, and later would have delayed
their rebuilding well into anoth¬
er season.
Dr. Scaife gets funny and gives
a burlesque announcement for
the legislature. O n his platform
he should run for congress.
FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
To My Friends and Fellow Citizens:
I hereby announce myself a candidate
for Representative to the Georgia Legis¬
lature, subject to the Democratic pri¬
mary.
My platform is:
1st. I am a prohibitionist. I am in
favor of prohibiting the issuing of recti¬
fying licenses to the big whiskey con¬
cerns and distillers who take a barrel of
whiskey—made to-day—doctor it to¬
morrow and the third day put it in ten
barrels—all full—and brand it seven
year-old whiskey. I am in favor of pro¬
hibiting the prosecution of little law¬
breakers (pot distillers and blind tigers)
and let the big law-breaker go free.
2nd. I am opposed to dispensaries,
because they are a monopoly, pure and
simple, and because it brings to light,
the fiiddeu things of some of our moral
guides and shows they are not so wed¬
ded to prohibition after all if there is big
money to be made out of whiskey.
3rd. If we must have whiskey and
the dispensary cannot be run on a de¬
cent plane, then I am in favor of the
open barrooms, and let the law be so
broad that it can be sold in every ham¬
let in this county.
These are my sentiments; if yon agree
with me vote for me and I will shell the
woods. \Y. L. Scaife.
Notice,
As our church is undergoing repairs
we call on all of our members and
friends to worship with the Presbyte¬
rians next Sunday, the 27th.
C. T. CLARK,
Pastor M. E. Church.
