Official organ of Camilla, Ga., • • And Mitchell county • • TELEPHONE NO. 64. 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. If it’s a bilious attack, take Chamber¬ lain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets and a quick recovery is certain. For sale by Lewis Drug Co. 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 Higgston Lumber Co. 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. Lewis Drug Co. 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.
