'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.

This is the truth.—Waycross Herald. 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 gang - . This important decision seems to us in line with Demo oiatie ideas of Justice.

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 Berman’s Opening’ Sale Now On!

BERMAN’S BALTIMORE % BARGAIN # HOUSE, Camilla, = Georgia. 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 English clay worsted pants, in hair lined stripes and pin head dots, nice weights for summer or winter, all-wool, worth $6 going at $2.75. 50 pieces of Amoskeag ging¬ hams, brown-blue stripes and checks sold everywhere for 10c —our opening sale price only 8c. 10 pieces white and drab linen toweling worth 15c.
