SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR - - - ^IX MONTHS - - - Official organ of Camilla, • • And Mitchell county • • TELEPHONE NO. 64. FRIDAY, JULY T, 1904. Camilla to Have Bar Rooms. On Monday morning the of whiskey from bar rooms be started in Camilla. A weeks ago Mitchell county wet, and a dispensary has ready been established at Pel¬ ham. Three and possibly bar rooms will open in Camilla —Thomasville Times. The above clipping has going the rounds of the press for some time, but in is untrue especially as to rooms in Camilla. While it true that the county went wet the election some time ago, it did not signify that bar rooms w( uld naturally follow, because of fact that the law requires that petition of two-thirds of the free holders be obtained by the ties desiring to open bar rooms, before same can be opened, ar.d up to the present have failed materialize although efforts have been made. There are dispensaries at Pel¬ ham and Sale City, and it is pos¬ sible that a dispensary may opened in Camilla later. Through trains of the Louisville and Nashville railroad will be running between Atlanta and Cin cinuatti, Ohio, by October 1. There’s a Reason-Why?

The editor of the Enterprise has the greatest respect for any minister of the gospel who is try¬ ing to elevate mankind by preach¬ ing the word of God and trying to persuade men to quit their evil ways ahd follow in the footsteps of the lowly Nazarine, but has very little faith in the efficacy of the work of those who employ sensational methods, or who take unto themselves the prerogative of the courts to condemn and abuse men, without a hearing, using the pulpit as a bulwark for their own personal safety, or to advertise themselves. Such seems to na\e been the methods of Dr. Len.G. Brougn ton, who is conducting a series of meetings at the Chautauqua Au¬ ditorium in Albany, when on last Sunday afternoon, he made the statement that “the ehief-of-po lice had been taken from a house of ill repute in an intoxicated condition.” We do not know anything- as to the huth or falsehood of these charges, but we do know that it was a matter that should have been brought for investigation before the police commission and not paraded before the public as has been done through Dr. Broughton’s utterance Sunday afternoon and Chief Westbrook’s assault on the proaoher with a cow hide in a barber shop Tues¬ day afternoon. We understand from Wednes¬ days Herald that the matter has been taken up by 24 prominent oitizens of that city and will be ventilated before the Police Com mi-sion, but it is too late to save public scandal or close the breach that has been made between the parties and their friends. That was not Christ’s method of winning souls and we do not believe that He approves of such methods. TO REBUILD AT PELHAM. The Higgston Lumber Co. Has Purchased the Machinery and Will Begin to Rebuild Soon From the Pelliam Journal. The Higgston Lumber Com¬ pany will rebuild at Pelham. The announcement is very gratifying news to our people as this large lumber concern is an industry cur p 2 uple did not want to lose Since they burned out some time ago it has been a matter of some speculation on the part of the public as to what they would do and when it was announced this week that the mill would be rebuilt the news was gladly re ceived. A large saw mill plant of the Enterprise Lumber Company with a capacity of over 50,000 feet per day has been purchased and this week the mill is being loaded at Sylvester and shipped to Pelham. The Managers of the Higgston Lumber Company propose to put up a thoroughly first class mill in every particular and one with even a larger capacity than that which was burned. There has been some effort on the part of the company to ob¬ tain a suitable site on the F. R, & N. E. out from town but failing to do this they have decided to rebuild on the same ground. We gladly welcome this splen¬ did mill back to the list of Pel¬ ham’s industries and hope that a similar fate will not await its re¬ habilitation. Two 6-pound boys and a 5 pound girl came into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Williams, who reside about four miles from Blakely, Sunday night. Fiiends of Mr. Williams are puzzled as to how to approach him just now.— Blakely Reporter. Prosperous South Georgia. the Savannah Press. Attention is being called to the that there are very few sher sales advertisements in Geor¬ papers this year, and especial¬ in the papers of the South Geor¬ counties. No better sign of prosperity could be asked for than this. When the sheriff is not busy the people must be mak¬ ing money sufficient to meet their obligations as they mature. This is apparently the blissful condi¬ tion in which South Georgia stands today. Its farmers and country merchants have enjoyed a couple of years of good crops and good prices. Cotton, naval stores, lumber, truck and fruits have all done well and the bal¬ ances have been on the credit side. It has been but a few years when low prices, with no profit to any one save the transportation companies, had brougnt many agriculturists and storekeepers down to the verge of bankruptcy. Fortunately this era appears to be over for good. learned to di¬ Our farmers have versify their crops more, they have learned to get more off of an acre than before, they have learned the secret of holding down ex¬ penses wl -lie running up the gros>9 income, and it is safe to say that as a class the planters this side of Macon are in better shape than at any time since the war. South Gecrgia was at one time the poor¬ est part of Georgia—not in possi bi'ities, it was always enormous¬ ly rich in them—but in cash and progre.siveness. Today it yields the palm to no section, either of Georgia cr of the South. When the tide of immigration sets into this state this section is the one that will be the most benefited by it. It has an abundance of land, to be had at reasonable prices: it has climate unsurpassed, and it ha3 a people full of the “milk of human kindness,” who will giad ly welcome the honest, industri¬ ous man who comes to cast his lot with them, no matter what country he may have had his origin in.
