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.
