A Gala Day at Thomasville.
On last Friday the editor of
the Enterprise together with
quite a number of Camillaites
went down to Thomasville to par¬
ticipate in the pleasures of the
big picnic and barbecue given by
the good people of that splendid
little city for the entertainment of
their friends from the surroun¬
ding country and nearby towns
and how well she did it can only
be attested by the five or six
thousand people who were in at¬
tendance.
The Enterprise has not the
space for a write up commensu*
rate with the big undertaking
and the grand success attained.
Mayor Roddenberry is a capi¬
tal master of ceremonies, in the
home, on the rostrum, or in the
arena directing the pig and ox
races or other sports.
Splendid addresses were de¬
livered by Judge Covington, of
Moultrie, Congressman Griggs
and Senators A. O, Bacon and
A. S. Clay. It was Senator
Clay’s first visit to Thomasville
and judging from his address,
the many surprises that greeted
him on every hand, so different
from what a North Georgian ex¬
pects to find in the wi regrass
country, acted like an inspiration
in his splendid words of praise
for the present and predictions
for the future.
The spectacle at dinner was a
grand one, for there were more
than five thousand people being
fed at one time and the supply of
food seemed inexhaustible and
everybody was happy and con¬
tented.
Here’s to Thomasville, her fra¬
ternal organizations and her
board of trade.
Motion Denied.
The attorneys for Whiteley Wil¬
liford, the negro who was con¬
victed at a special term of Mitch¬
ell Superior court held two weeks
ago, made a motion for new trial,
whioh motion was heard on last
Monday morning before Judge
Spence, but after all argument
had been presented the motion
was denied, and, unless an ap¬
peal is made to the Supieme court,
Williford will hang on Oct. 6th,
as decreed by the court.
Remember The Election, Octo¬
ber 5th.
The election for state and coun¬
ty officers is to be held on Wed¬
nesday of next week, an! the
“yard stick” ticket that is to be
voted will require some study on
the part of the voter if he hopes
to get it into the box in an intelli¬
gent shape.
Nearly all the judges and so¬
licitors as well as the regular
state house and county officers
are to be voted for and then there
are four amendments to the Con¬
stitution that will require your
attention.
The amendments are as follows:
For Ratification of amendment
( to Article 7, Section l, of the Con¬
stitution of this state (limiting
ad valorem tax to 5 mills).
Against Ratification of amend*
merit to Article 7, Sectionl, of the
Constitution of this state (limit¬
ing ad valorem tax to 5 mills). I
For Ratification of amendment
to Article 8, Section IV, para-1
graph 1, of the Constitution of
this state (local taxation for pub¬
lic schools).
Against Ratification of amend
mant to Article 8, Section IV,
paragraph 1, of the Constitution
of this state (local taxation for
public schools).
For Ratification of amendment
of Paragraph 1, Section III, Ar¬
ticle 3, of the Constitution of this
state (limiting the number of
representatives to 183).
Against Ratification of amend¬
ment to Paragraph 1, Section III,
Article 3, of the Constitution of
this state (limiting the number of
representatives to 183).
For Ratification of Paragraph
2, Section I, Article II, of the
Constitution of this stale (to make
the number of counties in this
state 145).
Against Ratification of amend¬
ment to Paragraph 2, Section I,
Article 11, of the Constitution of
this state (to make the number of
counties in this state 145).
The Enterprise is not quite
sure that the first, which has for
its aim the limiting of the tax
levy to 5 mills, will be a good
law, because conditions might
arise in whioh a greater levy
would be necessary in order to
preserve the state’s credit and in
that event hei officials would be
powerless to do anything.
The second we look upon as a
good move in the interest of edu¬
cation, and while many may op¬
pose the measure for fear that
the whites who pay the greater
part of the taxes, will have to
contribute more than their share
towards the education of the ne¬
gro, yet if proper care is exer¬
cised in the selection of County
Commissioners and Boards of
Education, who have the matter
of employing teachers in their
hands, this danger, if it be one,
can be averted by hiring teachers
at fixed salaries instead of paying
so much per scholar per day.
The last two, one for increasing
the number of counties 137 to 145,
thus creating 8 new counties, and
the other to fix the number of
representatives so that the new
counties will be provided for, are
companion amendments and one
goes with the other. These, if
ratified into law by the people,
will be of great benefit to some
sections of South Georgia, where
the counties are large and the
center of population, through
development, has drifted away
from the old county sites as estab¬
lished years ago and, while Mitch¬
ell will not be directly effected,
the editor of the Enterprise is
willing to vote for these two
amendments in order that he
may help oat those who live in
sections where new counties are
really needed.
Remember that next Wednes¬
day is election day and that it is
a duty you owe to your state and
county and to your nominees that
you turn out and pell a full vote.
