FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1904.
Colquitt Superior Court will be
held in Moultrie next week.
Quite a lot of business is sched¬
uled for a hearing.
Capt. E. Tillman, command¬
ing Camp Colquitt, has called a
meeting of the Colquitt County
Veterans to be held at Doerun,
on Saturday April 9th, and a big
time is expected.
Judge W, A. Covington has re¬
signed his place as Judge of the
City Court of Moultrie to take ef¬
fect April 1st, and Mr. W. S.
Humphreys has been appointed
to the judgeship. Judge Coving¬
ton is making the race for repre¬
sentative.
New York Declares for Judge
Parker.
The result of the primary elec¬
tion he’d in New York state this
week, gives Judge Alton B. Park¬
er a majority of the delegates to
the state convention to be held
in Albany, N. Y., which secures
to him the vote of that state at
the national convention, and his
friends throughout the country
believe that he will receive
enough votes throughout the
south and west to make the nom»
ination of Judge Parker as the
Democratic candidate for the
presidency certain.
The editor of the Enterprise
has not and is not worrying him¬
self a great deal over the candi¬
dacy of any man, and especially
that of the president. We have
no abuse to make against any
man who offers for office and we
have no patience with those who
resort to low tricks and vilifica¬
tion in order to carry things their
way, whether it be in politics oj
business.
If Judge Parker is declared the
nominee of the Democratic party
the Enterprise will support him
heartily and it can say the same
for Mr. Hearst or any other man
who stands high enough in the
estimation of the Democratic
party to receive the nomination.
The only thing that stands be¬
tween the Democratic party and
success in the coming election is
party division. That is what
kept Bryan out of the White
House and it will keep any other
man out, it makes no difference
what his qualifications or ability
may be.
Some people who claim to be
democrats have been heard to
say that they did not desire the
success of the democratic party
for fear of business depression,
and 9uch democrats (?) as these
will do all they can to bring
about dissention and division
which means defeat.
A Day at Rock Lake.
While Camilla’s young people
have been having an enjoyable
time with their parties and re¬
ceptions and the ladies getting
all the enjoyment that comes with
the selection of “Easter bonnets”
some of the men folks have not
been slow in getting together
now and then for a day’s sport
and enjoyment. Such an occa¬
sion was that of last Tuesday
when Messrs. J. B. and J. H.
Palmer, B. F. Collins, L. H.
Adams, A. B. Joiner, W. H. Cul¬
pepper, W. M. Acree, W. L.
Butlei. I. Smith and the editor
of the Enterprise met at Rock
Lake and enjoyed a splendid fish
fry and basket dinner.
The Messrs. Pa!mer own the
lake and have all the conveniences
necessary for catching the fish
which abound in plenty, and their
friends are not slow to heed an
invitation to join them in a day’s
pleasure and recreation from
business cares.
The grounds are ideal for pic¬
nic occasions and last Tuesday
was an ideal day for that pur¬
pose and after the large
quantities of fish had been clean¬
ed and fried to a queen’s taste
the party gathered around the
sumptuously spread table and
partook of as fine a dinner as one
need wish to have set before
them.
Mr. J. B. Palmer is an expert
at making lemonade and Mr.
Ben Collins can’t be beat clean¬
ing fish, while Mr. A. B. Joiner
is one of the best cooks going
and Mr. Adams knows just how
much salt and meal is required.
Sheriff Smith was in his place to
keep the peace and see that we
did not disturb it by eating too
much.
Crops, politics and other mat¬
ters were discussed but no new
candidates were brought out and
all went home happy over a day
at Rock Lake.
Announcement.
Pelham, Ga., March81, '04.
Messrs. G. W. Swindle and H. H. Merry:
In»the petition presented I notice a
large number of the best citizens of
Mitchell county say, “We need in the
State Senate the services of a man who
understands its resources and is active in
its development. We therefore request
that you allow the use of your name as
a candidate for the positiou of State
Senator in the approaching primary elec¬
tion to be held on April 20th, 1904.”
Having been honored with this posi¬
tion in the past; this renewed expression
of confidence coming -as it does from the
people of Mitchell county, where I have
lived and labored for more than thirty
years, imposes on me an obligation
which 1 cannot ignore, and I therefore
yield to their request to allow the use of
my name as a candidate for the State
Senate. If they should decide by their
votes at the approaching primary- that
my past experience in public affairs and
my active participation in the develop¬
ment of the rich resources of South
Georgia would be valuable to them in
the next Senate I promise to bring to
their service the same fidelity, zeal and
energy which characterizes my manage¬
ment of business affairs entrusted to my
care. Sincerely Yours,
J. L. Hand.

Mitchell County’s Way.
One day this week, Mr. H. p.
Butler, one of Mitchell’s pro¬
gressive farmers, sold to Mr.
Norris, of Newton, twelve tine
hams weighing 205 pounds.
These hams were well cuied and
were better and more healthy
than any shipped hams that can
be had.
This is the kind of farming
that pays and it is becoming
more general among our farmers.
In fact it is Mitchell County’s
way of farming now.
LOST.
One medium sized dark brown
mare mule, with bushy mane and
tail; strayed from our lot on the
24th instant. A suitable reward
will be paid for the return of this
mule to our mill at Pelham, Ga

Entertainment at Newton.
On last Friday evening at the
new hotel in Newton, the Misses
Fleming and Ledbetter gave a
reception in honor of Camilla’s
young people.
Those who attended from Ca¬
milla, were Miss Kate Cochran,
Miss Ethel Perry, Prof. B. S.
Branham, Mr. M. C. Bennett,
Mr. E. M Davis and Mr. Harry
Powell. They report a very en¬
joyable evening.
NOTICE.
After today we expect to get
fresh bread from Albany on
Tuesdays and Fridays.

To the Public.
I understand that the rumor is
being persistently circulated
through Spence, the county by Dr. D. A.
who favors the election
of my opponent Dr. J. M. Spence,
that I have retired from the race
for Representative and that I
have retired in favor of Dr. J.
M. Spence. No such thought or
action has ever for a moment
been considered by me and I
take this method of informing
my friends that I am in the race
to the finish and they will do me
the favor to deny flatly any ru¬
mors to the contrary.
Very Respectfully,
Z. H. Jones.
CapC Purse of Savannah has
received from a gentleman in
Mobile a sample of heavy card¬
board made from begasse of the
refuse of sugar cane - after the
juice has been pressed from it for
syrup-making purposes. The
method of producing this card¬
board will be explained by the
discoverer of the plan at the cane
growers’ convention in Jackson¬
ville April 4, 5 and 6th, The ma¬
terial produced is a very fine
grade of cardboard and is almost
as tough as leather. If it can be
made at a reasonable cost what
is now a source of expense and
bother to cane growers may be¬
come a source of profit, just as
the cotton seed has become to the
cotton growers.
