Death of Babes.
The closed and crepe draped
doors of the Lewis Drug Com¬
pany last Saturdav, told a tale of
grief to the passers by—told of a
home from which so much of the
bright promise for the future had
been taken. After one short
night’s illness from cholera in¬
fantum, little Rebecca, the sweet
baby daughter of Dr. and Mrs.
Lewis, succumbed to the Grim
Destroyer. The little one had
not been quite well since she de¬
veloped a case of aoute indiges¬
tion at Indian Springs about two
months ago. The interment was
made in the ne* cemetery Satur¬
day afternoon.
Especially sad, too, was th.
death of little Harry Berman,
Saturday night, the mother being
ill and the father in New York on
business. The child, seemingly
in good health, was stricken with
convulsions eariy Saturday
mcrning and nothing that phy¬
sicians or friends could do
brought relief, and death ended
his suffering. The remains were
accompanied to Albany Monday
morning by Mr. A. Edison, a rel¬
ative of the family, who came up
from Valdosta, and Mr. B. Lu¬
bin, Of Camilla, where they were
laid to rest in the Jewish section
of Oakview cemetery.

A FATAL TRAUEDY
IN LOWER MITCHELL.
Becoming Involved in Shooting
Scrape, F. K. and John Smith
Were Killed and Charles Gi •
lenwaters Badly Wounded.
The news of the terrible trag¬
edy at Faircloth reached the En¬
terprise office Thursday even¬
ing after we had gone to press.
Bad blood had existed between
these men for some time, and
Mr. F. K, Smith and two sons,
John and Turner, stationed them¬
selves between Mr.Gillenwaters’
house and store, one with a shot
gun and the other two with pis¬
tols and begun firing on Mr. Gil¬
len water-s when he started from
the house to the store.
Mr. Gillenwaters was unarmed
and ran to his store for a weapon.
His daughter having seen the as¬
sault, met him on the way with
his shot gun. Mr Gillenwaters
loaded the gun and turned on bis
assailants. The first shot he fired
killed John Smith, the shot tak¬
ing effect in the head. Thinking
this would stop the assault Mr.
3illenwaters hesitated at firing
on the other two; but seeing that
F. K. Smith was leveling a gun
at him, he fired his other charge
into Smith’s breast, killing him
almost instantly. Oneof the last
two shots fired by Smith took
effect in Gi'lenwaters leg and
stomach, but he will recover.
No arrests have been made.
NOW FORfWATERWORKS.
The Election Wednesday Was
108 For, to 13 Against Bonds.
It is now up to you, Messrs.
Mayor and Council, to proceed
at once with the sale of the bonds,
and the putting in of the system
of waterworks as contemplated
and the acquiring of the electric
light system we now have, which
needs impiovement in many
ways.
It is a step forward for Camil*
la, the next move now must be
towards a system of sanitary
sewerage.
Negro’s Throat Cut.
After imbibing enough l 'fire
water” to beccme dazed, John
Bowen, colored, was assaulted
on a dark corner Saturday night
by an unknown party who struck
him twice in the face and then
cut his throat and dodged away
into tht- crowd before they could
be recognized. Eowen will re*
cover.

SHOT TO DEATH.
Mary Johnson Killed by Adopted
Son, Pearl Boon.
On answering a call from Mc
Ree & McNeil’s quarter about 8
o’clock Saturday night, Deputy
Faircloth found Pearl Boon sur¬
rounded by three or four ne¬
groes, who were holding him
till an officer could be summoned.
He is charged with killing Mary
Johnson. The shot was fired
from a winchester rifie, taking
effect just above the heart. A
doctor was called but the woman
died soon after he arrived.
A great deal of excitement pre¬
vailed at the scene of the crime
and further trouble seemed evi¬
dent, but Messrs. McRee & Mc¬
Neil arrived and soon succeeded
in restoring very good order, al
though the crowd had to be
t .reatened with the police once
or twice.
Mary Johnson is the wife of
Jack Johnson, the stiller for the
firm of McRee & McNeil, and
was thought to be a good negro.
Boon claims that they were tus¬
sling for possession of the gun
and that the fatal shot was fired
accidentally, but, after hearing
the evidence, the coroner’s jury
returned a verdict of murder.
Boon was taken to the Albany
jail Sunday morning.
An Attempt At Murder.
At the merry-go-round early
Saturday night a foul attempt
was made on the life of Mr. Will
Rachley, a young white man who
lives near here.
Instead of going around him a
drunken negro woman tried to
persuade Rackley to get out of
her way, and failing in this, be¬
gan to throw some sulphurous
language at that gentleman.
When he slapped herin the face she
grew more furious and threaten¬
ed the use of a razor, whereupon
Rackley settled down and landed
several jabs straight from the
shoulder, each of which caused
the woman to fall back several
feet.
Rackley followed up quickly
and gave his opponent no time to
use her razor and it seems that
his successive leaps forward in
following up this enemy saved
him from serious harm from an
unknown foe in the rear, as a
while later his coat was found to
be split considerably where some
one had tried to stab him in the
back.
