STATE ELECTION OCT. 5TH.
The Ticket Will Contain Seventy
Five Names and ?eve
al Amendments.
Secretary Phil Cook is sending
out the election blanks for the re¬
turns of the general election
which is to be held on Oct. 5th.
The state ticket this year will be
longer perhaps than any former
state ticket as there are more
than seventy-five names to be
voted for, along with four consti¬
tutional amendments.
Unless the Populists put out a
state ticket, which is not at all
ptobable, the Democrats will be
the only candidates in the field.
Only the Democratic party has
notified Secretary Cook of its du¬
ly nominated candidates.
In addition to the candidates
for state offices the following
constitutional amendments will
be vo*ed upon:
Amendment to article 7, sec¬
tion 1, (limiting advalorem tax
to 5 mills.)
Amendment to article 8, sec¬
tion 1. paragraph 1, (local taxa¬
tion for public schools.)
Amendment to paragraph 1,
section 3, articl s 3 (limiting the
number of representatives to 183)
Amendment to paragraph 2,
section 1, article 11 (to make the
number of counties in this state
145.)
These amendments are to de¬
termine whether the tax rate
shall forever be fixed at no high¬
er than 5 mills, whether or not
the state shall have 145 counties
instead of 137, whether the state
shall have 183 members of the
house instead of 175, and wheth¬
er the people cf the different
school districts can vote for a lo¬
cal taxation for school purposes.
The ticket with all the candi¬
dates for county offices will be
more than a yard long.
From An Exile To His Homefolks
Richmond, Va., Sept. 3-04
Dear Enterprise:- Here I have
been for more than two months
in a cancer hospital, The afflic
tion is an awful one and the
remedies for most cancers is
necessarily severe. I had tried
three or four remedies at
home without avail and was near
despair, but I am now glad to
hope that the favorable end is
near. It turned out that there
were three cancers on my lip and
chin, the largest one being a very

stubborn one. This and the sec
or.d one have been out and the
third, a very small one, has
k lied, and will be out in a
days. The doctor said to me
yesterday, ‘‘you may write to
your folks that you can
home in two more weeks.”
The Enterprise lias been a wel
come visitor every week to my
lonely room tn suffering. I hope
everybody in Mitchell county will
appreciate such a good paper.
I was soi ry I couldn’t be at
hoon the occasion of the death
of Mrs. S. E. Cox, to tell what a
noble good woman I knew her to
beandthenm.v old friend, Mr.
Matthew Pope, one of our oldest
men has passed away from the
southwestern part of the county.
He was the last of the original
of old Evergreen church. He
led the simple life of a former,
| and had many fine traits of char
acter and was a most excellent
citizen.
Any sign of improvement in
Camilla always gladdens my
heart. What sort of an improve¬
ment is a barroom? Let the tears
and shame and anguish of the
drunkard’s poor wife answer. I
can remember when we had bar
rooms in the past long years ago.
What a glorious change in the
county generally was wrought
when they were abolished by
prohibition! How the county
has prospered and the people im¬
proved none but the older citizens
know, Well, here we are. The
dispensary demoralized us and
lowered the moral tone of the
county. No doubt of that, and

again is the difficulty. “Hie la

Aunt Jane wishes to thank
School Girl for her congratula¬
tion. Would like to thank you
in person sometime, School Girl.
Rev. Burnette came and preach
ed three very impressive ser¬
mons for us last Sunday night,
Monday and Monday night.
There was a large attendance
Sunday night and Monday, but
on account of rain and bad weath¬
er. there were only a few pres¬
ent Monday night. We were all
glad to meet Rev. Burnette, and
hope he will ccmeand preach for
us again sometime in the rear
future.
Misses Janie Bette and Alice
Burns Tharpe, of Thomasville,

relatives before going home.

Saturday and Sunday.
Mr. Wallace Cooper left Tues¬
day for a business trip to Flor¬
ida.
The ice cream supper given by
Mr. H. D. Culpepper, at his
home, was a perfect success.
The cream and cakes were de¬
licious. There was quite a
large crowd present. Aunt Jane
thinks tip dance after the sup¬
per was enjoyed as much as the
supper.
Messrs. John Perry anj Mor¬
ris Hall attended the ice cream
supper at Mr. Culpepper's,
Mr. John Smith and Miss Lucy
Williford, of Bratvchville, atten¬
ded the ice cream supper.
And what little girl was it,
that said she wanted her name
in the paper?
Girls, before you ride much
with the young men, who are
such veck’ess drivers, and more
especially at night, where there
are three young girls and only
one young man in one buggy.
Aunt Jane thinks it would be ad¬
visable, to buy a pair of gold
rimmed spectacles and a lighted
lantern, and it might be best to
let the horse use them for the
benefit of those in the buggy. It
might save the buggy from run¬
ning over a stump and the occu¬
pants from falling out.
Oh, my! I do wonder what
lias gotten the matter with so
many of you girl’s fingers. It is
always the third finger on the
left hand. They surely must

As School Girl says Dame Ru¬

if what Aunt .Jane hears be true.
