a raise in salary July 1 from 850

The Sunny South is indeed
‘‘God's own country.” She pro¬
duct's four fifths of the cotton of
the world. Nearly 15,000,000
tons of coal come from her mines
every year, to say nothing of
iron, lumber and countless other
neeesaarit s sent out to benefit and
bless mankind. Couple these
facts with her sunny climate and
the room she has for millions
moie people than she has, and
sne stands out sublimely as one
of the most inviting spots in all
ti.e world.— Citizen.
The Ice Plant Running.
The Camilla Ice Plant was put
in operation the latter part of
last week, turning out their first
manufactured product on Sunday
morning which proved to be as
fine ice as can be manufactured
anywhere and for the first two
days of this week all who wanted
to keep cool were furnished ice
free of charge. All the people
had to do was to go after it. It
is estimated that at least one
hundred and fifty dollars worth
of ice was given away.
The ice plant is owned by the
Mitchell County Fertilizer Com¬
pany and will be run in connec¬
tion with their manufacturing in¬
terests, and will add much to the
business of Camilla to say noth¬
ing about the convenience it will
be to the people of this section
who will be able to get all the ice
they want at any time.
An ico wagon will be put on at
once which will run six days in
the week delivering to any part
of the town in any quantity de¬
sired.
The Blackshear Times, in its
“Farmer’s Column” makes a
most enticing exhibit of what a
few men have accomplished on

single out fancy farms, either.
None of them came under a
thousand dollars net for the
year, with meat, corn and syrup
to last for a year.
Thrown From a Wagon.
Mr. George K. Babcock was thrown
from his wagon and severely bruised. He
applied Chamberlain’s Pain Balm freely;
and says it is the best liniment be ever
used. Mr. Babcock is a well known cit¬
izen of North Plain, Conn. There is
nothing equal to Pain Balm for sprains
and bruises. It will effect a cure in one
third the time required by any other
treatment. For sale by Lewis Drug Co.

R. V. Bush, Camilla, Ga,
The Legislature of 1904 Is At
Work.
The General Assembly of 1004
was called to order at 10 o’clock
on last Wednesday morning by
President Clark Howell, of the
Senate, and Speaker Morris, of
the House. It required a very
few minutes to make this formal
announcement and give the gov¬
ernor notice, when the legisla¬
tive machinery began to move
Mitchells representative, Hon.
I. Maples will have a number of
local bills to present and it is but
natural that the friends of these
measures will be on the anxious
seat until they are disposed of.
The county site removal ques¬
tion over in Worth is also a
measure that will claim the at¬
tention of those in this section
who have business in the courts
of that county, for they are nat
urally in favor of the removal of
the county site from Isabella to
Sylvester so as to do away with
the great inconvenience that has
heretofore existed.
Another measure that will be
brought before this legislature is
one seeking to amend the consti¬
tution so as to admit of the for¬
mation of some new counties
The Governor in his message
has this to say on this subject:
“The inflexible rule of the con¬
stitution which forbids the crea¬
tion of any new county, has
brought about in some sections
unexpected and unintentional
hardships. Counties that in 1877
were geographically laige, but
sparsely settled, have greatly in¬
creased in wealth and population
but the line of growth has left
the body of the inhabitants re¬
mote from the county site, to the
manifest inconvenience and det¬
riment of those who under condi¬
tions as they existed in 1877 un¬
doubtedly would have been gran¬
ted relief by the creation of a
new county. The matter is one
calling for an appropriate amend¬
ment to the constitution provid¬
ing for the creation of new coun¬
ties up to a fixed limit, or by
such other legislation as will meet
a condition of serious and per¬
manent hardships to many good
citizens who are entitled to re¬
lief.
The governor’s message also
calls attention to and invites con¬
sideration of the growing senti¬
ment in favor of placing every
possible safeguard around our
primary elections that will make
them fair in every particular.
He also advocates the enact¬
ment of some law looking to the
equalization of taxes, and the
establishment of agricultural
schools to supply the gap that
now exists between the common
schools and the state University,
and che school of Technology and
other colleges throughout the
state,
The governor’s message deals
with many other things but those
mentioned above are, perhaps,
the most important.
Camilla Supply Store Burgla¬
rized.
On last Saturday night, or very
early Sunday morning the store
of the Camilla Supply Company
was burglarized by parties, who
effected an entrance by breaking
open a window in the rear of the
store, and after they had helped
themselves to such articles as
they desired they deliberately
opened the side door and took
their departure.
An investigation was made
Monday morning and it was dis¬
covered that several pairs of
shoes, some pants and shirts,
and some toilet articles were
found missing and syste¬
matic efforts were put forth at
once to try and apprehend the
guilty party or parties with the
result that Evans Cooper, col., is
now in jail and a number of ar¬
ticles aioltn have been recovered.
Nathan Colbert, col., was found
with a pair of the shoes on his
feet and promptly arrested, but
was released on bond. Nathan
claims that he bought the shoes
from the negro Cooper, who
claims that he received them from
Isaac Gillison, employed by Ca¬
milla Supply Company as a por¬
ter.
A commitment trial was held
yesterday afternoon but Evans
Cooper and Nathan Colbert wav¬
ed trial and demanded indictment
before the Grand Tury.
There was no evidence to eor
oberate Cooper’s claim that Isaac
Gillison was implicated, therefore
he was not even arrested.
