Camilla, Ga., July 1, 1904.
Work Convicts on the Public
Roads.
Mr. Editor:— It is important
for the welfare of our county for
some needful changes to be made
in our present road laws as the
present system is unsatisfactory.
The public roads of the county
are growing worse while the de¬
mands for good roads and better
transportation facilities are on
the increate. We assert that un¬
der the present system but little
if any improvement will be made
in the' condition of the Mitchell
county public roads. Time has
brought about a change in the
situation in this county under
the present system it seems un¬
just to our road subjects to en¬
force the present law. For in¬
stance, here is a section of road
four miles long that has on it
twenty*-one hands, while the next
section of road one-half mile hav
ing on it nine hands and just a
little further on is another section
of road one mile long and having
only five hands and overseer.
Now the lastmentioned have be¬
come discouragedover the amount
of work required to keep up their
respective section of the road
and have quit working them.
The second mentioned section
declare they will go to jail or pay
a fine before they will work their
section any more so long as other
sections fail to keep theirs in
passable condition. We see by
this the injustice of the present
system. Our young men have
drifted to the town and public
works that surround us and we
have not left enough road sub¬
jects to do the work. In other
words we have more roads than
hands and the communities and
county suffer in consequence.
It therefore seems necessary to
change the present road law to
conform to the changed condi¬
tions. It will ot course require
time and consideration, to make
the change but the sooner they
are made the better it will be for
all. I deem it unnecessary to
enumerate the advantages of
having good roads, for all think¬
ing men agree on that point.
The question is often asked by
citizens, “why don’t your county
commissioners work the convicts
on the public roads?” I think
the majority is in favor ot doing
so if they can get at it on a prac¬
tical and equitable basis.
It seems to be the idea of some
that if we could have the convicts
placed to work on the public
roads it would relieve the road
working subjects from that duty.
This is correct if we will pay
enough to hii e a sufficient amount
of labor to work the roads. That’s
the question. Are you willing to
do this. Now let someone speak
out and let’s get the ball to r 11
ing. If the Editor of the Enter¬
prise will allow us space in his
valuable paper we will see if
there is any one interested in
good roads and betterments and
the discussion will give rise to a
mass meeting which will find out
the will of the people on this mat¬
ter. I trust that the old adage,
what’s “every body’s business is
no body,s business” will not be
verified in this instance. Let’s
hear from some public spirited
citizen who is interested in the
welfare and prosperity of the
county' I believe in a local road
law in each county suited to its
own local condition.
Yours Resp’t.,
Jas. L Palmer.

We are having plenty of rain
now, and some of the farmers
are trying to keep down the
grass which grows vigorously.
Some of the farmers have stop¬
ped working so hard and are
spending their time fishing.
Why just think! “Aunt Jane”
went fishing last w 7 eek, but she
wont say what success she had
for it wasn’t very good.
Mr. A. A. Bullard and family
went fishing last Thursday, and
caught all they wanted.
Mr. Cull Campbell and sister
Miss Lautry Campbell have been
visiting their aunt Mrs. Cal Hall,
of Baker county, for a few days.
Mr. Tom Beck, of Camilla,
accompanied Mi. Bullard on his
fishing tour.
Mrs. Rose Blount and little
son, John Milton, of Tampa, Fla ,
are visiting Mrs. Blount’s aunt,
Mrs. Frank Beck.
Although it rained till late
Sunday p. m., there was a large
crowd out, mostly young people.
After Sunday School was over
they practised some new songs.
We hope to have a better Sun¬
day School from now on. You
have often heard the saying
“There is always room for one
more” but there is always room
for two and more at Sunday
School. We would be glad that
all would come that could. Your
presence would always be ap¬
preciated by the superintendent
and organist especially.
Aunt Jane.
Baconton Items.
With the promise of something
entirely different next week,
“School Girl” sends only a few
items this week. Itisn’t because
news is scarce but because “time
flies.”
The young folks of Baconton
spent Friday afternoon at Wal¬
ton Springs. Boat-riding was
the chief pleasure, but climbing
over the stepping stones to “the
rocks,, in the middle of the river
was hardly a secondary one.
Miss Bell Gurr, of Americus,
is visiting at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. L. C. Fleming.
Miss Pauline Cochran, of Ca¬
milla, spent several days here
this week.
Miss Jewel Jackson entertain¬
ed delightfully in honor of the
visiting girls Wednesday eve¬
ning.
A moonlight pic nic, was billed
for Wednesday night of this
week, but at the time of this writ¬
ing was not a certainty. It was
to be at Blue Springs and in hon¬
or of Mr. John Cochran, of Syl¬
vester, who is visiting relatives
here.
Misses Alma and MariKate
Cochran will go to Camilla Sat¬
urday to visit relatives there.
Mrs. Jesse Mercer, of Una
dilla, is visiting here.
Mrs. Fannie Glaze, of Dawson,
spent several days here this week.
Mrs. Annie MerceT, of Albany,
is visiting relatives here.
Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Turner
with Miss Jewel Jukson spent
Sunday in Pelham.
Childrens’ Day Service, under
the supervision of Miss Ella Ba¬
con was unusually sweet Sun¬
day.
Mr. W. M. Brooks, of Albany,
was here Sunday.
Mr Gus Culberth, of Albany,
was here Sunday.
Grapes, watermelons, peaches,
cantaloupes and candy! Surely
somebody is feasting.
Barbecue here Friday, July 1.
Don’t forget. Let our editor
come and enjoy the day with us.

Notwithstanding all that is done by
boards of health and charitably inclined
persons, the death rate among small chil
dren is very high during the hot weath
er of tlie summer months in the large
cities. There is not probably one case of
bowel complaint in a hundred, however,
that could not be cured by the timely
use of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
