Business Prosperity For Camilla.
The prospects for business
prosperity for Camilla and for all
Mitchell county was never bright¬
er than are presented thus early
in the openiag of the fall season.
Crops throughout the county
have been reasonably good and
prices are remunerative, thus
putting more money in the chan¬
nels of trade ifean ever before,
thereby increasisg ifche volume of
business along ail .lines.
Our merchants nave selected
large stoeas of merchandise of
every description foam which all
can supply their wants and there
is no reason why every business
man should not feed stimulated
by the hopeful prospects and ev¬
ery branch of trade quietened by
the impulse of prosperity.
The gins are worked 4s their
utmost capacity, notwithstanding
the fact that they have almost
been doubled since last season,
and the streets of our town .have
thrown off the dullness of «iaa 2 -
mer and are thronged with -tmey
people every day. Cotton is com¬
ing in rapidly and is bringing .a
good price; old accounts are be¬
ing rapidly paid, and in many in¬
stances notes are being paid be¬
fore they are dae, which shows :
conclusively that the farmer is
prosperous and when this is true
it naturally follows that the mer¬
chant and everybody else will be
prosperous too.
There are no rumors of mort¬
gage foreclosures and if the sher¬
iff had to depend upon civil busi¬
ness for a living he would have
to throw up his commission. The
writer has been publishing the
Enterprise, the official newspa¬
per of the ccunty, for eight
months and has not advertised a
sheriff’s sale during the entire
time. What bettor showing of
prosperity can any town or coun
ty make?
Tax Rate For Mitchell $9.50.
The County Commissioners
were in session on last Tuesday
and levied the tax for 1904 as
follows:
Pauper fund .20
Jury .50
Bailiffs and witnesses fund .70
County officers $1.00
Public improvement 2.30
Total for county purposes Si 70
State levy 4 .80
Total for state and county §9:50
This is comparatively a low
rate, when we take into consider¬
ation the fact that provision had
to be made for the payment of
the $15,000 jail that has been
contracted for and upon which
work will soon be commenced, as
the material is now fast arriving
and being placed upon the
ground.
It is thought by many that the
commissioners have been very
conservative in their estimate,
and really think that under all
the circumstances that they
should have put the total amount
at $10, so as to have avoided any
.shortage in funds next summer
and fall.
The commissioners are deter¬
mined, however, to use every pre
cau sion against unnecessary ex*
penses, and will adopt a cam¬
paign of rigid economy in all
county matters.

The Enterprise is in receipt
of one of the neatest booklets,
entitled “Albany and Dougherty
county, Georgia,” ever issued
from the southern press. It is
intended to advertise Albany and
Dougherty county as a contribu¬
tion to the “Greater Georgia”
movement, and as it treats of the
section of which Mitchell is a
part, it is but natural that she
will receive benefits from its cir¬
culation. Messrs. H. T. McIn¬
tosh and J. A. Davis, Jr., who
are its publishers, deserve much
credit for the work they have ac¬
complished iu the get up of this
handsome booklet which will be
a splendid souvenir to send to
your friends in other sections.
The Methodist congregation at
Statesboro condemn the recent
lynching of the two negroes at
that place, in strong resolutions
and calls upon all members of the
church who participated in that
revolting drama to either come
forward and make public ac¬
knowledgment and repentance
or else withdraw their member¬
ship from the church.
Let’s everybody get behind the
movement to build a railroad
from Ashbtirn via Sylvester and
Camilla to Bainbridge. The sub¬
ject has been one of agitation for
more than two years. Some
work has been done on the line,
but the way for Camilla tosecuie
it is for everybody to get behind
it with a will.
Georgia day at the St. Louis
Exposition will be held on Sept
29th, and the Governor wants as
many Georgians as possible to
be in attendance.
There will be more free shows
at the big State Fair at Macon in
October than Carter had oats,
and they say he had a sight of
them.
What is Life?

Apropos of the recent prohibi¬
tion election in Leon county, the
people of that section may well
congratulate themselves on hav¬
ing followed the example of this
community and done away with
open bar rooms, when they read
the following from an exchange:
“A poet has said of the saloon tliat it
is appropriately called st BAR.
A bar to heaven, a door to hell:
Wlsoever named, named it well.
A bar to manliness and wealth;
A door to want and broken health.
A bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door to sin and grief and shame,
A bar to hope, a bar to prayer,
A <k*.r to darkness and despair.
A bar to honored, useful life,
A door to brawling, senseless strife.
A bar to ail tliat’s true and brave,
A door to ever}- drunkard’s grave.
A bar to joys that home imparts,
A door to tears and aching hearts.
A bar to heaven, a door to hell,
Whoever named it, named it well.
