FRIDAY. JULY 8, 1904.
The Nomination of Judge Parker
Conceded.
'Ihe national convention of the
Democratic party is in session at
St. Louis this week, making a
platform and nominating candi¬
dates for President and vice
president,
Judge Parker, it is claimed,
holds 587 votes for the first ballot
and it is thought that he may
get more and possibly the 667
that is required to nominate on
the first ballot.
John Sharp Williams was made
temporary chairman in theorgani
zatiori of the convention, and in
Mr. Williams’ opening speech
rcfeieoce to Grover Cleveland
elicited a perfect outburst of ap¬
plause. There were numerous
names before the convention for
second place on the ticket, but as
yet it is not known who will be
the lucky man.
So far as the editor of the En¬
terprise is concerned we have
little or no preference as to who
the candidates shall be, what we
desire is that men be placed in
nomination who can lead the
party to victory this fall.
The Supreme Court has decid¬
ed that guessing contests are il¬
legal.
What this country needs is
fewer laws and more enforcement
thereof.

The House has passed the con¬
stitutional amendent to create 8
new counties in Georgia. But it
has yet to pass the senate and be
sanctioned by the people.
The $50,000 Court House, of
Wilcox county, Ga., is built upon
the old site and covers the spot
where Jefferson Davis camped
the night before he was captured
at Irwinville.
If all the bills of the govern¬
ment were paid in silver dollars
it would require 22,297 wagons,
each loaded with a ton of silver
dollars, to haul enough to pay
the full amount.
Judge Speer has decided that
municipal courts cannot send
prisioners to the county chain

seems to us in line with Demo

MITCHELL SUPERIOR COURT.
Called Terra for Criminal Bus*
iness.
Agreeable to published notice
the called term of Mitchell Supe¬
rior Court was convened on last
Tuesday morning with Judge W.
N. Spence presiding, who an¬
nounced that the first, attention of
the court would be to hear the
jail cases, some of which could
not be heard at the regular term
on account of the pievalence of
small pox in the jail where the
prisoners were then confined.
The same grand jury that serv¬
ed at the regular terra was in the
box and it was not necessary for
the Judge to make a lengthy
charge, merely calling their at¬
tention to such matters as the law
directs that they should diligent¬
ly inquire into. However the
Judge called special attention to
the condition that Mitchell coun¬
ty is in on the liquor question

asked the Grand Jury to in¬
quire into and see if they could
not offer a solution or remedy
that would settle the vexed ques¬
tion.
At a recent election held in the
county a majority of the votes
cast declared against prohibition
and in favor of the sale of whis¬
key, yet under a local law for the
county it cannot be sold except
in incorporated towns and then
only by the consent of two-thirds
of the free holders. So a man
might obtain license from both
the state and county and yet,
without the consent of two-thirds
of the free-holders of the incor¬
porated town he could not legally
proceed to sell liquors.
The county has no dispensary
law, yet two towns in the county
are selling whiskey under a li¬
cense issued to an individual.
The profits from the business,
after expenses are paid, going
into the town treasury, thus they
are operating dispensaries under
