CITIZENS BANK OF CAMILLA.
The Organization Perfected and
a Splendid Business Com*
mencement Made.
On Wednesday afternoon of
}ast week the stockholders o. this
new business institution, which
means a step forward for Camil¬
la, met and perfected a perma¬
nent organization by electing the
following directors:
Geo. C. Cochran, E M. Davis,
John C. Wilson, C. L. Taylor, F
L- Lewis, Spence Perry and J.
P. McRae, who in turn elected
from their number Mr. Geo. C
Cxffiran, President, Mr. E. M.
Davis Vice President, Mr. John
C. Wilson, Cashier- The capital
stock was then fully j aid in and
the Citizens Bank of Camilla, at
once formally opened its doors
for business, meeting with nat¬
tering encouragement from the
very beginning.
No bankin southwest Georgia
has nicer fixtures, furniture and
conveniences for doing business,
and those in control of its affairs
are thorough business men,
courteous and obliging to their
customers to the fullest extent
allowed by safe and legitimate
banking rules, and as they pos¬
sess the confidence of the pec,] ie
of Mitchell county, there is no
doubt that this enterprise will
meet with success.
Competition is said to be the
life of trade and it applies to the
buying and selling of money just
as forcibly as it does to anything
else connected with the commer¬
cial world and in this connection
the Citizens’ Bffiik of Camilla so¬
licits your business by placing a
nice advertisement in this issue
of the Enterprise.
Their capital stock is thirty
thousand dollars and the stock¬
holders are liable for an amount
equal to their paid in stock, which
gives to depositors sixty thous¬
and dollars worth of protection;
and therefore you can feel as¬
sured that your interest will be
looked after as carefully as
though it/were their own,
Mr. G. M. Bacon, at DeWitt,
lost his residence together with
its contents by fire on last Wed¬
nesday afternoon. We have not
learned any of the particulars as
to the cause of the fire.

VOTE FOR BONDS.
Let us Have Waterworks and
Let the City Own the Elec*
trie Light Plant.
For some time the question of
waterworks for Camilla has been
discussed by the voters of the
and many suggestions have
? Seen made as to how they could
%e procured. Every body will
admit that they will be of great
benefit to the town in the way of
prod action to property against fire
and .that they will also add much
to health of the town, but the
main ^question has been what
would be the best way to pro¬
cure thus much desired step for¬
ward attdhe least cost to the tax
payer baLh in establishing and
operating ijie system and it has
been decided by those who have
given the question much thought
that the best plan would be to is¬
sue bonds to the amount of $20,
000, two .thousand dollars cf
which will be a#ed to retire the
school house debt and eleven
thousand be used for waterworks,
while the remaining seven thous¬
and would be used in the pur¬
chase of the electric light plant
from the present owners, so as to
runene in connection with the
other and thus divide the expense
of operating which would natur¬
ally cheapen the cost of produc¬
tion in both plants.
One set of power machinery,
one set of employees and the fuel
required for one would operate
both and the people could be fur¬
nished both water and lights at
cost.
- But the best reason why we
should vote for bonds is that
Camilla should own and control
her own waterworks and electric
light franchises and if there is
any profit accruing it will go to¬
wards paving the expenses of
the town government and there¬
fore will lessen taxes, at any rate
the city will get its water and
lights at actual cost of produc
iion. Vote for bonds.
Wednesday’s Election.
Was one of the quietest ever
held in Mitchell, very little inter¬
est being manifested as is shown
by the small vote polled. In fact
only 317 votes out of over 2000
registered from the county were
polled, and with this small vote
some scratching was done.
The State house officers, judges
and solicitors received 312 votes,
except Judge Spence who receiv¬
ed 309, Senator Hand 310 and
Representative Jno. M. Spence
309.
All the amendments to the con¬
stitution received a majority vote
for ratification except the one in
the interest of education.
Nearly all of the county officers
received a full vote.
The people evidently wjre
mere interested in getting cotton
picked while the sun shone than
they were in the election.

Mr. £. H. Grihta Reported
Drowned.
Tbe IbTTiEBPKiSE took no stock
io tbesensational reports seat-out
last weeds from Savannah., regard¬
ing the mysterious disappear¬
ance of Mr. E. H. jrrifiin, believ¬
ing they were -simply -manufac¬
tured by some space writer seek¬
ing notoriety and not founded
upon facts., and for this reason
refrained from giving the matter
any publicity in last week’s is¬
sue, bat nearly two weeks now
have elapsed and nothing more
has developed as to his where¬
abouts than was known at first,
however, the Savannah News of
last Tuesday presented the theo¬
ry that Mr. Griffin had doubtless
drowned himself in the river,
for in no other way could the
missing man have disappeared
without some one knowing some¬
thing about it.
To further strengthen this
idea, a number of person have

be >n found who claim that Mr.
Griffin was constantly
ing that he had eons-ucaption
that he suffered with severe
an his head, and that be had
ten spoken of suicide.*
Mr. Griffin, or “Pat” as he
more familiarly known in
la, where he resided fora num¬
ber of years, after whieh he re
moved with his family to Bir¬
mingham, Ala. from which place
he travelled as a salesman for a
Richmond, Va., firm until a few
months ago when he met with an
accident, in which a bridge fell
in with him and bisteam, result¬
ing in the death of the driver and
one of the horses and severe bod¬
ily injury to himself, and as soon
as he had recovered sufficiently
to travel returned with his
wife and babies to Camilla about
a month ago. During his stay
here he seemed to be getting
along nicely and just before he
left here for his old home in Quit
man, announced that he felt suf¬
ficiently recovered to again take
his place on the road, which he
would do as soon as h° could
(dose up some unfinished busi¬
ness that called him to Quitman.
The reports coming from Sa¬
vannah, therefore, were a sur
prise to members of his family
and friends here, who were loth
to take them seriously, firmly
believing that he would yet turn
up in Birmingham, wheie his
sample cases were, and that he
would be all right. There is no
positive evidence that he drown¬
ed, but there is plenty of evidence
that he has not been seen by any
of his friends for nearly two
weeks and no tidings whatever
had of him.
