FRIDAY, AIRIL 15, 1904.
Mitchell county is one of. the
best in south Georgia or any
other state for that matter, and
can furnish homes for all good
people who will come to this fa¬
vored section.
The Lyons Progress published
at Lyons, Ga., together with the
post office, four or five stores and
the Seaboard Air Line railway’s
depot was destroyed by fire re¬
cently. The Progress says that
they will rise again in better and
more substantial form.
The Times Enterprise says:
“We have heard aiguments
against everything under the
canopy of hpaven but never a
sound one a£a : nst good schools
or good roads.”
Mitchell County’s New Jail.
There is not a voter in the
county, who has any county
pride, but what will acknowledge
that the present little dilapidated
coup that gbe s by the name of
county jail is an eye-sore to the
average citizen and that it is in¬
adequate and un°afe to meet the
demands made upon it. Not
that crime is on the increase, but
rather that our population is rap¬
idly growing arml therefore the
demands are greater upon the
county and while there are com¬
paratively few criminals, yet
those who are charged with grave
offenses have to be taken out of
the county to more secure places
of incarceration, thus entailing
much unnecessary expense upon
the county for which there is no
return.
That a jail must be built no one
will deny. That it should be one
that will reflect credji upon a
prosperous and progressive coun¬
ty all will admit.
The only question that must be
determined by the voter, is, shall
it be built by direct taxation or
by the issuing of bonds'?
Our servants, the county com
missioners, all of whom are ex¬
perienced and progressive busi¬
ness men, chosen to serve the
county because of their fitness
for this duty have made a thor¬
ough investigation upon the sub¬
ject and they unanimously re¬
commend bonds as being the
best and most economical way of
accomplishing the desired result.
The jail must and will ba built
that much of the question has
been determined by your com¬
missioners because necessity de¬
mands it and now it is with you
voter whether it shall be done by
the levy of a direct tax upon
your property to meet the de¬
mands in one year, or whether
you will have bonds and thus
have the expense divided out
ov< r a number of years and in
such small amounts as to not be
materially felt by any tax pajer.
It is for you to determine on
next Wednesday ley your vote
whether you prefer to take from
your pockets the whole amount
in one year and deprive yourself
of the use of that money altogeth¬
er, or whether you will borrow
from outside capital the amount
required at a very small rate of
interest and have the payments
of same extending over a long
term of years to be participated
in by every new citizen who may
make Mitchell county his home
as well as the young and active
generation that is now coming
forward to grow uf and take
your places in a short time.
It is simply a business proposi¬
tion and should be met in a busi¬
ness way and all the argumenls
of sound business call for bonds
and the Enterprise believes
that it will be your pleasure to
vote for bonds on next Wednes¬
day.
The Ice Plant a Certainty.
Parties representing the man¬
ufacturers of machinery for mak¬
ing ice were in Camilla this week
and closed a trade with the Mitcn
ell County Manufacturing Com¬
pany for a plant which will be
installed just as soon as it can be
shipped here and the people of
this section can rest assured that
they can get all the iee they want
this summer right here at home
without having to pay freight on
it.

Mill and Factory Sale.
The Enterprise is pleased to
announce that the enterprising
firm of B iggs & Perry, two of
Camilla’s hustling young busi¬
ness men have arranged for a
Mill and Factory sale at their
extensive department stores to
begin on Saturday April 23rd
and last for ten days during
which time some of the ran st
bargains will bo offered to the
people of Camilla and surround¬
ing country that has ever been
offered them before, and to ad¬
vertise this big sale more exten¬
sively, the Enterprise job office
has turned cut five thousand
large full double page bills enum
eiating many useful and neces¬
sary articles of merchandise that
are offered at astonishingly low
prices.
The Enterprise takes a three¬
fold pride in this big sale, first,
it brings right here to the yery
d >jrs of the people of Mitchell
county the advantages offered by
the big department stores of the
large cities where they have spe¬
cial bargain days in which the
people can supply their wants
with a comparative small outlay
of money. Second, it shows to
the world that Camilla is right
up in the procession of up-to-date
towns and that she has business
men who are not slow to see and
grasp Che opportunity to push
their business, advertise their
town and benefit their fellow citi¬
zens by placing within their reach
merchandise at the lowest possi¬
ble prices.
Third, it gives the Enterprise
an opportunity to show to the
people of this section of the
country that it is not necessary
to send away off to some large
city for large advertising bills or
other printed matter that may be
needed by the business men of
this section.
It illustrates the fact Camilla
is not a dead town by any means,
but is more enterprising a. d
prosperous than at any stage of
her past history, even in the
palmiest days of the bar room or
dispensary period, for is it not a
fact that a majority of the peo¬
ple now have money with which
to buy, not only the real necessa¬
ries of life, but are providing
themselves and their families
with[t ie comforts, and, in many
cases, the luxuries of the age.
We congratulate the people of
Mitchell county that this oppor¬
tunity is placed within their
reach, and M sire. Baggs &
Perry upon their enterprise and
wish for them all the success their
venture may merit.

organizations were formed in this
state last week:

Nothing Equal to Chamberlain’i Colic, Chol¬
era and Diarrhoea Eemedy For
Bowel Complaint in Children.
“We have used Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in our
family for years,” says Mrs. J. B. Cooke
of Nederlauds, Texas. ”We have given
it to all of our children. We have need
other medicines for the same purpose,
but never found anything to equal
Cliamberiaiu’s. If you will use it as di¬
rected it will always cure.” For sale
