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 Let us go to work to get it repealed and in lieu thereof, let them be appointed by the Governor and after due notice is ser ved on the people in the cir¬ cuit to which ho is appointed and no valid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. Commencement. [1 & of th^Camilla High School will be held on the 30th and 31st of May. The program cf Monday night the 30th, will consist of a produc¬ tion of Longfellow's Hiawatha by the Intermediate and Grammar Grade pupils. On Tuesday night the 31 st of May the graduating exercises will be held at which time Hon. Walter Park of Blakely, will de¬ liver tho diplomas. The music during the entire time will bo furnished by the pu¬ pils of Mrs. Clara Twitty’s class. An admission of 10c will be charged to be used towards de¬ fraying expenses to the purchas¬ ing of new books for the school library. 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. J. L. Underwood.

Let all Camillaites turn out and let us have one grand gala day together in an annual union pic¬ nic dinner. T. R. Bennett, j J. H. Hilliard, | J. C. Wilson, i J. Jj. Brown, j- Joint Committte J. G. Bailey, of Arranegmen', Jesse J. Perry, B. Lewis, 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.
