The Judiciary in Politics.
■Our esteemed contemporary,
The Albany Herald, jumps on
Judge W. N. Spence and con¬
demns him for dabbling in second
congressional district politics,
when in fact, under the law as it
now is, every judicial office in
■ho state is a political office over
which candidales may scramble
and fix states to their heart’s con¬
tent, and in doing this it is but
natural (hat aspirants should go
into the field and do all the “log
rolling’’ they can for their friends.
The editor of the Enterprise
is on record, however, as being
opposed to this system and while
editor of the Worth County Lo
c.:!, opposed the idea of electing
the judges and solicitors by the
pipulai vote of the poople and
gave as some of the .reasons for
hi s opposition to .the system the
very things that are now being
condemned by the press of the
state.
No, brother Herald, don’t con¬
demn the Judge, but condemn
the law that makes him a politi¬
cian. Let us go to work to get
it repealed and in lieu thereof,
let them be appointed by the
Governor and after due notice is
ser ved on the people in the cir¬
cuit to which ho is appointed and
no valid objections are filed, then
let his appointment be confirmed
by the Senate. This or some
other like plan is the only way
that the judicial ermine can be
removed from the political mud
puddles that are to be found in
every county, circuit and district
in tho state.

A Word to the Wise.
It is impossible to estimate the
value of a newspaper to a com¬
munity. Put this question to
yourself, “Would I be willing to
live in Mitchell county if I knew
it would have no newspaper pub¬
lished within its borders for the
next ten years ?’’ Every sensi¬
ble man would move somewhere
else if he could. Nobody wants
a dead county. Any old citizen
who knows the history of this
prosperous county will tell you
that newspapers started the
county on the up grade and have
kept it there.
Now the writer wishes in the
public interest to make a simple
suggestion. It is this—foster
the interests of your home paper.
Patronize it liberally every way,
subscribe to it yourself and have
it sent to all your friends at a
distance. If you are a business
mar. give it all your job work and
advertise everything you have to
sell.
The writer will add his great
gratification at the recent ’'im¬
provement in the general makeup
of the Enterprise— so newsy,
so clean, sc sound, so neatly
printed, and so promptly mailed.
He has known Editor Allen’s
great worth as a man for years,
and knows what he has done for
Worth county as an editor. Mr.
Allen and his excellent family
are a great acquisition to our so¬
ciety, and the county paper could
not be put into better hands.
Work for it, everybody.

The Ice Plant.
The brick building for Ca¬
milla’s ice plant is completed and
the machinery with which to
manufacture ice has been ship¬
ped from the factory and will be¬
gin to arrive in a few days when
it will at once be placed in
position and put to work man¬
ufacturing- a prime article of
artesian ice.
The management is satisfied
that they will, inside of thirty
days now, be ready to supply all
demands for ice and furnish cold
storage for all who may need it.
Mr. E. R. Wilson is opening
up a nice line of general mer¬
chandise this week in his hand¬
some new store on Broad street.
Mr. B. B. Watkins will have
charge of the business as man¬
ager, and as they expect to do a
strictly cash business and pay¬
ing cash for their goods, with no
house rent or clerk hire to pay,
they expect to give their custom¬
ers the benefit of this saving in
very low prices for the goods
they sell.
