TENTH PLACE.
Mitchell County Tax Increase
Gives Her Tenth Place.
The tax returns from every
county are in the hands of the
Comptroller General and places
Mitchell right up along side of the
most progressive counties in the
state.
This is an extra good showing
because it is largely due to in¬
creased agricultural investments
rather than to city or town in¬
vestments.
The ten counties showing the
largest increase in tax returns
are as follows:—Fulton shows an
increase of $2,772,099; Bibb $2,-
516,100; Muscogee, $1,317,795.
Thomas comes fourth with $594,-
307. Decatur is close behind
Thomas with $547,397. Irwin is
sixth with $525,731. Floyd sev¬
enth with $465,635. Chatham
eighth with $465,935. Sumter
ninth with $462,617 and Mitchell
tenth with $429,301.
One of the most striking fea¬
tures of the entire table is the
prominence of South Georgia
counties. It will be noticed that
the fourth, fifth, sixth; eighth,
ninth, tenth, and eleventh places
in the table of increase are held
by South Georgia. Seven out of
eleven isn’t bad.
There were only nine counties
in the state that show a decrease,
and after deducting those, the
total net increase is $23,914,000.
The Edison News is the name
of a new paper that makes its
appearance on the sea of journ¬
alism. It is'edited and publish¬
ed by Mr. A. M. Lane, who, un¬
til recently, was editor and pub¬
lisher of Courier, at Arlington.
The initial number of the News
is creditable and judging from
its advertising patronage, it is
appreciated by the business men
of Edison.

CAMILLA’S MARKET.
Is the Place in Which to Buy
and Sell.
Other places may boast of their
achievements, but no place can
excel Camilla as a trade center
for all kinds of produce and mer¬
chandise.
During the winter and spring
her merchants handle thousands
of pounds of country cured hams
and bacon, to the exclusion al
most of the products of the pack¬
ing houses, besides large quanti¬
ties of other farm produce.
There is a good demand all the
year round for chickens, eggs,
butter and other produce at
remunerative prices, in fact,
there is not a time when these
products do not find leady sale.
As a cotton market, her buy¬
ers, men of experience, and hav¬
ing Camilla’s interest at heart,
are prepared to handle every
bale that is brought here, for
which they pay the highest pri¬
ses the market »ill afford, com¬
mensurate with safe and legit¬
imate business methods.
Her warehouse facilities are
equal to the demand and furnish
safe storage facilities against fire
or theft to the farmer who does
not care to sell his cotton in a
spot market. Every safe guard
possible is assured the producer
that his product will be handled
so as to bring him the very best
results that can be offared by any
market.
Her buyers handle between five
and ten thousand bales of cotton
each season and if they did not
treat their customers right, it
would only be a question or a
very short time, ere this large
amount of the “fleecy staple”
wouid go to some other place and
as a consequence her buyers
would be driven out of the field,
but instead of this condition ex¬
isting, confidence is maintained
and her cotton receipts are in¬
creasing with each succeeding
season.
As a market in which to buy,
there is no place in this section
of the state that offers better in¬
ducements, or carries better se¬
lected stocks of merchandise.
Her large department stores, car¬
ry everything that the country
demands and the farmer who
needs supplies advanced during
the seasons of planting and culti¬
vating, can be accommodated by
four or more firms at such prices
as usually follow close and per¬
sistent competition, which is an
assurance to the buyer that he is
getting his supplies at as low a
price as they can be sold, even
though he paid spot cash for
them.
The majority of Camilla’s mer¬
chants are men who have spent
all their life in Mitchell county.
You know them they are and have
been your neighbors for years
and what they have accomplished
in a business way has been done
by honest dealings with their cus¬
tomers. Tiiey want your business
and are roady *o meet all fair and
honest competition from what¬
ever source it may come.
What is Life?"
In the last analysis nobody
knows, but we do know that it is
under strict law. Abuse that
law even slight, pain results. Ir¬
regular living means derange,
ment of the organs, resulting in
Constipation, Headache or Liver
trouble. Dr. King’s New
Pills quickly re-adjusts this. It’s
gentle yet thorough. Only 25c

Killed by Unknown Party.
From Saco this week the Jcur
nal received the following ac¬
count of what seems to have been
a murder near there nearly two
weeks ago.
On the 20th inet., Hariy Miller
was shot and killed and is sup¬
posed to have been robbed near
here.
After trying all day to get cor¬
oner Spence for the purpose of
hu’ding an inquest and failing to
g .t him or the Justice of the
Peac?, Mr. W. B. Thomas, N. P.
and Ex officio J. P., empaneled
a jury and held the inquest. The
jury was composed of I. Maples,
.1. R. King, T. J. Bowen, H. P.
Palmer. A. A. Maples and J. B.
Maxwell.
Aftei going carefully into the
investigation and failing to de¬
velop any testimony saddling
guilt of the deed on any one the
jury returned the following ver¬

Fishing Party.
On last Wednesday Mr. Green
Spence, acting as chaparcne,
guide, protectorate, or whatever
term is applicable to the occasior,
accompanied the young married
peoples club on fishing excursion
to Dry Creek. Those attending
were Mr. and Mrs. David Einstien,
Mr. and Mrs. George Smalley,
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Clark and
Miss Rosa Harrell. They had a
good picnic dinner, but fish was
a very small part of the menu.
