The Camilla second team of ball tossers went up te Albany last Friday where they'crossed bats with the second team of that city. The teams were well matched and the game was'hotly contested throughout, ending in a score of 9 to 6 in favor -off Camilla. For the first live reniings the score stood 2 to 1 -and bid fair to be a shoitscore for both sides, but it the 6th. 7th ani'Oth innings soiw. timely batting ajid some untime¬ ly errors increased the score considerably. The CawsiiSla boys are pleased with tthe treatment re¬ ceived at the (hands of the team and are'planning to do f gallant act ire return on the diam<*nd this afternoon.

The game waMhecalled prompt¬ ly at 3 o’clock and everybody invited to go out and the boys in their efforts to ke«p their bateball scalps. The Most Prosperous Town The most prosperous town the one where thorn is the great¬ est evidence of local pride. It doesn’t require mansions and great lawns and the trappings of wealth to make a prosperous town or city, but order, cleanli¬ ness and the evidences of civic pride are an absolute essential. The neat, clean, well kept home with the evidences of personal interest, clean streets and back alleys free from rubbish, the things that may be possessed by ;all save the really unfortunate, are the thifigs which make a town inviting and upon which prosper¬ ity in large measure rests — Valdosta Times. Camilla could profit by the above if her people would but adopt Hie plan it outlines. The improved appearance of the court house already shows what a little touching up will do. Notice. The closing exercises of the Camilla Colored High School, will take place Friday night May 27, 1904, at Bennett’s Hall. We give this as an invitation to white and colored friends who have always shown us their appreciation. J. I. Williams, Prin, Cooperation in Schools. We copy the following from the Dublin Courier-Dispatch, frown its report of the convention of county school commissioners recently held in that town: ’“Commissioner Wade H. Wood spoke on “Co-operation of Super¬ intendents, Teachers and Pa¬ rents” in the school work. He said the people looked to the su¬ perintendent as a leader in edu¬ cational matters, and he should be a man who knows and loves children, a man of character, of executive wisdom, free from pol¬ itics, and should visit toe schools of the county often and keep in close touch with them; and the teachers and patrons should unite with him in the cause of education. “Prof. E. W. Childs, commis¬ sioner from Randolph, also made a plea from the subjet. He com¬ pared the county school commis¬ sioner to a general in an army, the teachers to the soldiers— needing more substantial sinews of war in better salaries. Worthy teachers should be kept in some schools for quite a number of .years. Local school taxation was commended by Mr. Childs. Su¬ perintendents should devote their time to the work of education. The speaker made an intelligent appeal for the full co-operation ■of all interested m educational matters.” The Enterprise believes that in Prof- J. H. Powell, as county school commissioner, Mitchell county possesses a leader for her public shools that commands the respect and esteem of the teach¬ ers and the love of the children throughout the county. One thing is needed in every school district in the county which would aid materially in the work of advancing the cause of education, and that is a small lo¬ cal tax with which to supplement the public fund so as to keep open school at least nine months every year in every school dis¬ trict.
