FRIDAY, JUNE J4, 1904. •The rural mail carriers will get a raise in salary July 1 from 850 to $60 per month. A ten dollar raise in the good old summer time ■would be acceptable to even a country editor.—Citizen. 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 the farm there, and it does not 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. FOR SALE—cheap.

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. DeWitt's^M Salve For Piles, Burns, Sores* ILLINOIS CENTRAL R. R.
