Ere another issue of the En¬
terprise is published the Primary
will have been held and the sue
pense of the candidate will be at
an end. All cannot be success
fu*. Some must go down in de¬
feat at the polls. To all the En¬
terprise would say, be prepared
to meet success or defeat in a
manly way and not allow your¬
selves to be carried away with
success, or depressed because of
defeat. Look on the bright side
of life’s picture and be cheerful
under all circumstances. If you
are numbered with those who are
successful in the race it will be
because a majority of your fel¬
low citizens believed that you
were fitted for the office and
therefore gave you their suff¬
rage and it will behoove you to
acquitt yourselves like men and
under no circumstances allow
yourselves to betray the trust
confided to your keeping.
If you are not successful re¬
member that a public office is
the gift of the people and that
this was not the time when they
would honor you with a public
trust and that your future suc¬
cess would largely depend upon
the manner in which you deport
yourself under the severe trials
of a defeat.
In justice to those who have
presented their claims for office
before the people in the columns
of the Enterprise we call special
attention as to who they are as
best we can, and the office they
ask at your hands.
For the office of Senator from
this district, Messrs, .l-udson L.
Hand of Pelham, and Mr. I.
ples, of East Mitchell, are con¬
tending for the honor. Mr. Hand
is a man who has made a success
of life and from a small begin¬
ning has built up a splendid bus¬
iness and commands the respect
and confidence of his fellowman
in every walk of life at the same
time his opponent, Mr. Maples
has also made a success of life
in all ;that surrounds a sturdy
farmer and his fellow citizens
have already shown their appre¬
ciation of his worth and merit by
honoring him as their present
representative in the legislature
where his record stands out as
public property and is not assail¬
ed.
Next in order will be found
Mr. Z. H. Jones, Dr. J. M.
Spence and Df. H. C. Dasher,
contending against each other
for the nomination at your hands
for representative of Mitchell
county in the legislature. Mr.
Jone3 of South Mitchell, is mak¬
ing a clean canvas and is making
friends wherever he goes, his
neighbors speak well of him and
that is the best recommendation
a man can have, while Dr.
Spence and Dr. Dasher are both
citizens of Camilla and are known
and respected throughout the
county in which Dr. Spence was
born and raised, while Dr. Dash¬
er served you honorably for thir¬
ty years in the office of Ordinary
We believe that your interest and
the interest of Mitchell county
will be safe in the hands of eith¬
er of these gentlemen. Take
your choice.
For Ordinary you will find
that Mr. Edwsrd T. C:chran is
making the race against the
present incumbent, Mr. J. G.
Wood. Mr. Cochran is a
man of fine character and excel
lent qualifications and would
j doubtless make you an able of-
ficer if honored with the ' tiusi
while Mr. Wood who is now fill¬
ing his first term as your servant
in that office, has already ex¬
emplified his qualifications for
the office and again asks for your
endorsement of his candidacy
and it is for you to say on next
Wednesday who it is that you
will have to serve you in that
office for the next four years.
For clerk we present the names
of Mr. Judson L. Green, a suc¬
cessful young business man of
Pelham, born and raised in the
county and Mr. Thomas B. Beck
one of the county’s best known
farmers and citizens who are
asking for the nomination at your
hands. Choose ye whom you
will have to serve you as clerk of
the Superior Court.
For* sheriff, we have but one
name to present, that of Mr. 1.
Smith who asks for re-election
to the offioe he has so ably filled
in the past.
For Tax Collector we have on¬
ly one name to offer you as an¬
nounced for that office, that of
Mr. D. W. Faircloth, an old and
honored citizen of Mitchell, who
is fully qualified for the office
and will serve you faithfully if
honored with the nomination.
For Tax Receiver we present
the names of Messrs. G. T.
Akridge, J. J. Bradford and W.
B. Whitley three of Mitchell’s
sterling citizens either of whom
if honored with the office will
make you a faithful servant.
Mr. Akridge is the present in
cumbent and has already exem
plified hi. fitness for the plaoe he
asks. Mr. Bradford is one of
your best citizen's and makes
fliends of all with wnora
in contact, while Mr
( Whitley is most appreciated by
j those who know him best, for his
| worth and ability. One of his
neighbors speaks thi3 of him. “I
have known Mr. Whitley inti¬
mately for twenty yea> s, and have
never knovn or I ea d of his do¬
ing one small oT ungentlemanly
act. He is honest and fully
qualified for'the office he seeks.”
For the office of Treasurer we
p -esent the names of Mr. Jonah
Palmer, the present incumbent,
and Mr. J. L. f ’ochran, who atk
that you give thim the nomina¬
tion. Both are perfect gentlemen
and fully qu lifted to fill the of¬
fice with credit to themselves and
the people they would serve, It
is like placing two articles of
equal merit before a man and
telling him to choose the best
It’e hard to do, but then you must
decide the question for yourself
next Wednesday.
The last the Enterprise has
to offer you in the way of an
nouncements is that of MeesrB.
W. M. Faircloth and B C. Davis,
who offer for places on the
Board of County Commissioners
for Roads and Revenue, both
popular and progressive citizens
of their respective sections and
if honored with your suffrage
will exert themselves to represent
the interest of the entire county
in the discharge of the duties of
tne office.
Now, voters, here they are,
choose ye, on next Wednesday at
the Democratic primary whom
ye will have for your public ser¬
vants. It is not our privilege
choose for you and we would
if we could. It is a matter
every voter must settle for him
self.
