PASSED THE SENATE UNANI¬
MOUSLY.
Cromartie Bill, Without Amend¬
ment, Goes Before the People.
Atlanta, Ga ; July 12—The
Cromartie bill, providing for a
constitutional amendment in¬
creasing the number of counties
in Georgia from 137 to 145, was
passed unanimously by the Sen¬
ate today. The measure now
awaits the signature of the Gov¬
ernor only, before it shall
ready for submission to the peo
pie of the state.
This bill merely provides for
an amendment, increasing the
possible number of counties in
Georgia from 137 to 145 and the
companion legislation in regard
to representation and other mat¬
ters involving new counties is
still pending in the house. Re¬
cently the Senate Committee on
Constitutional Amendments
amended the bill as it came from
the house, making the number of
possible new counties 150 but
this amendment was withdrawn.
An effort was made by M r. Tis
inger of the twenty-fifth to amend
the bill, so that no county having
less than 525 square miles should
be affected by any county chang¬
es. He finally reduced the fig¬
ures to 350 square miles, but the
amendment was lost.
There were thirty-eight votes
for the bill, none against it.
The Camilla Ball team went
down to Cairo last Tuesday for
the purpose of playing a game
Wednesday afternoon, but the
teams disagreed about some of
the players anJ tne game was
called off.
One yelling, slashing driver

Give Us a Square Town.
While the qmstion of wat r
works u being agitated don’t for¬
get that one of the greatest needs
of Camilla just now is more
streets and better streets.
You may put in all the im¬
provements you please in the
way of water works and other
conveniences, but, unless your
tjwn presents an attractive ap¬
pearance a stranger will not want
to make investments here or
make it his home.
Square up the town, gentle¬
men. Lay it off into neat blocKS,
surrounded on all four sides with
good, wide streets and then you
will invite immigration and cap¬
ital to the town, but as long as it
remains in its present uninviting
shape, with its long crooked
apologies for streets you cannot
reasonably expect Camilla togrow
very much in population. The
writer has already heard such
expressions as “It’s an old town,”
and, “Its full grown” from some
who were visitors to Mitchell’s
capitol city
While you are considering wa¬
ter works consider your streets
also. To make the former more
profitable, build up a cosc com¬
pact town by opening up your
streets.
Mr. Robt. Daniels Dead.
News of the death ol Mr. Rob¬
ert Daniels, which occurred Ju¬
ly 12th at Memphis, Teen., reach¬

issue of the Enterprise. Mr.

employ and remained with them
until his death. His first vif

ter of Mr. J. H. Powell of this
county. He leaves a wife and
four children, with other relatives

many friends in this county. Mr
