WH1TELY WILLIFORD TO HANG
ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6TH.
Judge W. N. Spence, of the A1
^bany Circuit, called a special
term of the Superior court yester¬
day morning for the purpose of
trying Whitely Williford, the ne¬
gro who shot and killed Mr. Har¬
mon West in April of last year,
at the same time shooting Mr.
' Turner Cox, but made his escape
and was not apprehended until
about two weeks ago when he,was
^captured at Chipley, Fla., and
then turned over to the sheriff of
Mitchell county, who placed him
;in jail at Bainbridge, out a few
-days ago Judge Spence was noti¬
fied that rumors of the formation
of a mob to go to Bainbridge af¬
ter the prisoner wae being circu¬
lated. Williford then hurriedly
moved by the Judge’s order to
another jail, and the Governor
notified that if the prisoner was
given military protection he would
call a special term of his court at
once and try him.
Upon this Governor Terrell or¬
dered the military companies
from Albany and Americus to
come to Camilla on yesterday
morning where they would join
the Thomasville company, who
would have the prisoner in charge
and aid them in giving the pris¬
oner all the protection that thi
law guarantees to its citizens.
Promptly at 9 oclock the court
was called and organized, after
which a recess was called until 11
o’clock when the prisoner arrived
on the Thomasville train in charge
of Deputy-Sheriff Haircloth, with
the military escort under the
command of Maj R. L. Wylly,
who under hurried movements
escorted the prisoner into the
court room, when the trial was at
•once entered into.
Williford had no lawyer to
represent him and the court ap¬
pointed Messre. S. S. Bennet and
Scaife & Lane, the ablest council
of the town, to defend him. Col,
Wooten for the state announced
ready, whereupon council for
the defence made a motion for
change of venu, upon the ground
that the prison-r could not get a
fair trial in this county because
of the feeling that existed, but
when the court officials and one
pannel of twelve jurors had been
examined on this question, the
’ Camilla; (3a.. Sept. 16,
1904.
motion was over-ruled and the
trial proceeded with.
Some little time was consumed
in securing a jury after which the
evidence was taken, all of which
showed beyond doubt that Willi¬
ford killed West, even his own
statement admitted the killing
but he claimed self-defense.
The Judges charge was clear
and forceful bringing out every
point of law contended for by both
the defense and the state, after
which the jury retired to their
room, where they deliberated
over the evidence and the law for
some time, but at about 8:90
they agreed upon a verdict th_t
Whitely Williford was guilty of
murder. The court then sen¬
tenced him to hung on the 6th, of
October.
Maj. Wylly, with his soldier
boys still acting as an escort, left
on a special train with the prison¬
er for Albany at about ten o’clock
last night.
This morning the town is as
quite as ever and theie is no
evidence that 120.soldiers patrol
ed the court house and grounds
yesterday and last night.
The calling out of the malitia
was simply a matter of precau •
tion against a repetition of the
Statesboro trouble.

The Ladies’ Pleasure Club.
This is the name of an organ¬
ization formed by the ladies of
Camilla last Wednesday after¬
noon at a meeting held at* the
home Scott of Mrs. C. C. Spence, W.! on j
street, at which Mrs. J.
Butler, was elected as the Club’s!
first president.
The object of the Club as it’s
name indicates is entertainment
and pleasure for its members at)
least during two afternoons in j
each month.
This is an advance stop in the
social life of Camilla, for while
the ladies here seem very prompt
to discharge all social obligations,
they need something to bring
them in closer touch with one an¬
other, something that they will
feel a common interest in. The
names of twenty-four ladies were
enrolled.
The initial meeting was a very
pleasant one indeed. After the
organization, musical selections
were rendered by Misses Susie
and Toy Spence and Mrs. Clara
Twitt.y favored the club with two
sweet songs. Then came a gen -
uine surprise in the shape of the
most delicious refreshments,
sherbet fancy cakes; frappe with
cherries having been served ear¬
lier.
The club adjourned to meet the
28th, inat, with Mrs. J. T. Owen.
Handsome Drug Store.
The work of enlarging and ren¬
ovating Dr. F. L. Lewis’ building
is about complete and the Lewis
Drug Co., moved in this week,
and as a consequence Dr. Lewis
and Messrs. Brazelton and Char¬
lie McNair, with their helpers
have had a very busy week in¬
deed.
The new- quarters of the Lewis
Drug Co., is all that one could
wish in the way of convenience,
fitted up as it is with the latest
patterns in polished oak cabinet
shelvings and large commodious
glass case counters, while the en¬
tire front is thrown open with
large glass doors.
The Enterprise believes it can
safely say that this gives to Ca¬
milla one of the handsomest, if
not the handsomest, drug stores
to be found south of Macon. In
fact it would be a credit to any
city and all Camilla is proud of it
and no one can pass it by with¬
out sloping to look and admire.
