FRIDAY. JUNE IT, 1004
It has been noticed that very
few of the jurors who serve in
the Superior and City courts of
this county are citizens of the
northeastern portion of the coun¬
ty— And the question has been
asked why the names of many
good citizens from that quarter
s.ce not in the jury box. No one
for a moment thinks chat the jury
commissioners would be guilty of
tiny intentional slight to any of
Vheir fellow citizens. The mis¬
take has originated from the fact
til at most of the people of that
■section do their trading in Albany
or Doerttn and are net so well
Jknown at the county town as the
-people from other sections of the
county. The Enterprise is con¬
fident that the jury commission¬
ers will look into the matter, and,
if a mistake has been made, it
wv;li not be re, eated.
Hon. H. G. Turner is Dead.
News was received in Camilla
on last Uriday morning that this
distinguished Georgian was dead
the sad event occuring at the home
of his brother, Dr. E. V. Turner
in Raleigh, N. C., at 2 o’clock on
Thursday morning.
This sad death came as a shock
to all Georgians, but more espec¬
ially to South Georgia, where he
was known and appreciated for
his great worth as a private citi
rn in his home and section, as
an able lawyer and a wise states¬
man, having occupied distin¬
guished positions of trust, with¬
out his seeking, at the hands of
his fellow citizens, both in the
state and national halls of legis¬
lation and later occupying a seat
as an associate justice in the Su¬
preme Court of the state, which
he was compelled to resign be¬
cause of his failing health.
It is useless for the editor of
the Enterprise, who has known
Judge Turner for more than thir¬
ty years, to attempt to eulogize
this noble gentleman in language
befitting the man more than to
say that he |was a man of deep
thought, firm in convictions
which were always founded upon
a thorough knowledge of the sub
ject at hand, attained from close
study. For him to act was to
know, beyond a teasonable shad¬
ow of doubt, that he was right.
I i public life, his disposition
was modest and retiring, which
made him appear cold and dis¬
tant, yet he was easy of approach,
gentle as a child and polite and
respectful to the most humble
citizen.
His death brings sorrow'to the
entire country and to none moie
poignant than to his old Mends
and consutuenis of >he Second
Congressi:r*al District.
What Shall Camilla be?
Judge Underwood, Camilla’s
hustling real estate agent, in¬
forms the Enterprise that he
just can’t find an eligible resi¬
dence lot for sale in the town;—
that again and again he hai tried
to buy lots for parties and the
owners wont sell. What’s the
matter? How are we to build up
a town if the people will not sell
lots? Look at the big corn fields
and cotton patches right within
the corporate limits that could be
cut up into lots and sold at prices
that would put more money into
the owners’ pockets than the nett
profits of the cultivated land will
pay in a life time. If we are go¬
ing to have a town let’s have one.
If we are going to keep Camilla
in a cotton patch and corn field,
don,t call it a town. Camilla
must decide. It can’t be country
and town at the same time.
Mr. W. L. Bennett has bought
20 acres of land in South Camilla
from Mr. C. C. Cochran. This
means much for Camilla and the
county. Just beyond this tract
lies the Hoggard place now own¬
ed by Mr. Bennett, which he al¬
ready has greatly improved. He
will, as soon as the crops are
gathered, continue Harney street
through to the Hoggard place,
and then ran a wide lane on to
the Underwood lane. Then this
can be made the public road to
Pelham and the two towns of
Mitchell county will probably
soon have something like a pub
lie road connecting them. They
have at present a [ oor apology
for a public road and ti e county
authorities should look into this
matter. Mr. Bennett is going to
do a good thing for the town,
county and himself.

Double Your Crop.
The following from t he Atlanta Journal
is published by request.
S. W. Reynolds, Atlanta, Ga.
Editor Semi-Weekly Journal;—
Please let me say in your widely
circulated paper that every acre
cultivated from now on as follows,
will at least double the produc¬
tion. Stop all your plows until
the futl moon, as the surface or
feed roots are now running out
very rapidly, and will continue
until full moon when all this will
die off. Then for two weeks (from
full until change there will be
none) plow alt your crop over with
your deep plows—corn with turn¬
ers, and cotton with scooters.
Plow as close up to cotton as you
can with small plows, say two fur¬
rows, and middles with larger,
but have them long and sharp
Use turning in corn if foul to save
hoeing, and the vegetation cov¬
ered will be a fertilizer. To many
of the farmers of many
this is no longer an experiment.
Of course this is not

Note By Editor ; —The
of doubling our crops as sugges¬
ted above by Mr. Reynolds is di¬
rectly antagonistic to present
methods employed in plowing
crops during the summer months.
The agricultural editor has nev¬
er tried the plan suggested and
would not advise its adoption ex¬
cept on a small scale and noting
the results as compared with
shallow culture in conformity
with the regular adopted systems.
