The Camilla Enterprise.
VOLUME VIII.
1.0.0. F. LiGE
INSTALLED HERE
Several Prominent Members of
Pelham Lodge Came Up to
Install New Lodge.
The latest addition to Camilla's
secret organizations is Camilla
Lodge No. 468, of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, which was
installed here last Tuesday even¬
ing, and there is every indication
that it is destined to have a large
membership composed of some of
Camilla’s best citizens.
An installation team from the
Pelham lodge came up to confer the
degrees and formally install the
new lodge. They brought along
all necessary paraphernalia for the
initiation, and a very busy time
they had in introducing the caudi
dates into the mysteries of the or¬
der.
It was after midnight before the
work was finished. The meeting
was then adjourned until Friday
night, when other applicants, who
could not be present Tuesday
evening will be given their degrees.
After the work was over the vis¬
iting brothers were escorted to the
City Cafe, where an excellent sup¬
per had been prepared for all.
The visitors from Pelham were:
Dr. O. B. Bush, Messrs. M. S.
Stewart, L. P. Tucker, J. J.
Blanton, T. J. Flint, T. P. Stew¬
art and T. F. Perdue.
Carload of Hogs From Florida,
Messrs. Jamie Keaton, J. H.
Baggs and F. B. Spence have just
returned from a trip to Florida
where they went in quest of hogs
to eat up Mitchell county’s tre
mendous crop of peanuts.
They brought back something
over 200 head of assorted sizes
which, wc understand, they will
sell out to the farmers in this sec¬
tion.
Hogs have been in considerable
demaud all summer and many of
our farmers have not been able to
buy enough to eat the feed-stuff
they have raised for this purpose.
The greatly increased acreage in
corn aud peanuts this year is un¬
doubtedly responsible for the un¬
usual demand for hogs and if our
farmers succeed in getting all they
want there will be little meat ship¬
ped into this county next year.
Shot in The Face.
Somewhat of a mystery sur¬
rounds the shooting of Paul Bailey,
a negro, last Saturday night. Bai¬
ley was in that mellow frame of
mind usual for him on Saturday
night, when he has just gotten on
the outside of a quart of “trouble
elixir,” and was scouting around
in the neighborhood of the new
gin, when in some way, he has
been unable to explain, he got in
the way of a pistol bullet which
entered one side of his face and
come out just below the ear.
There are two theories advanced
as to the cause of the shooting.
One is that Bailey received a stray
bullet fired by some colored gen¬
tleman in his regular Saturday
night target practice; the other is
that Paul was trying to slip up on
the blind side of a “tiger” to re¬
plenish his jag and was mistaken
for an enemy.
His wound was dressed by Dr.
J. M. Spence and at last accounts
he was getting on all right.
CAMILLA, GA., OCT. 15, 1909.
Mr. J. H. Spence Granted New
Trial.
Judge Frank Park issued an or¬
der last Saturday granting a new
trial to Mr. Jas. H. Spence, who is
under a twelve-year sentence for
the killing of Mr. R. L. Mallard, at
Brauchville last Spring.
The motion was heard the first
of last week, Judge Park reserving
decision until Saturday. The
ground upon which the motion
was based was errors alleged to
have been made by the Judge in
his charge to the jury.
The attorneys arguing the mo¬
tion for the defense were Cols. E.
E. Cox and S. S. Bennet. The
state was represented by Solicitor
W. E. Wooten and Judge W. M.
Harrell, of Bainbridge.
It is probable that the case will
be brought up at the October term
of Mitchell Superior Court, which
convenes here next week.
Little Josie Mae Griffin Dies.
The sympathy of the entire
community goes out to Mr. and
Mrs. E. H. Griffiu over the death
their little daughter, Josie Mae,
which occurred Tuesday afternoon
at 4:30 o'clock, after an illness
only a few holirs. The remains
were laid to rest in the city ceme¬
tery Wednesday afternoon at 4
o’clock. The little girl was the
ideal of fond hearts, a bright aud
attractive child and will be great¬
ly missed.
Mr. and Mi’s. Griffin also have
another child seriously ill; which
fact makes the affliction doubly
heavy.—Bainbridge Searchlight.

Mr, J. R. Ford, a former resi¬
dent of this county, who has been
engaged in the turpentine business
at McDonald, in Coffee county,
for the past several years, hits
moved back to Camilla with his
family and will occupy the Morgan
house in the southern part of the
city. Mr. Ford has accepted a po¬
sition with McRee & McNeil.
Tuesday was a delightful day
for the millinery opening of the C.
G. McElveen Millinery Co., the
weather being just cool enough to
remind the people that winter is
at hand. The large store room
next to Berman Brothers was
handsomely decorated for the oc¬
casion and the store was well filled
on both days with shoppers.
Mr. O. O. Warley has puchased
two large building lots just north
of Mr. R. T. Cochran’s residence
on Peachtree street and will com¬
mence the erection of a residence
in a short while on one of the lots
which will cost him in the neigh¬
borhood of $3,000.00. Mr. Wor¬
ley considers residence property in
Camilla a good investment aud
says he will probably build a
house on the other lot in the near
future and rent it.
A yell of terror emiuating from
the jail caused some little excite¬
ment last Sunday afternoon.
Upon investigation it was found
that one of the prisoners had shied
a bottle at his cell-mate, and when
the other retaliated with several
well directed upper cuts, he set up
a howl that led many to believe
murder was being committed.
Sheriff Crow soou put a quietus on
the scrappers and all was quiet
again.
We have on our desk a commu¬
nication from Mr. W. B. Rodden
berry, of Cairo, president of the
Georgia Cane Syrup Association,
which we will publish next week.
This association was organized at
the mass meeting held iu Meigs on
Oct. 9th and a meeting of the as¬
sociation has been called for Octo¬
ber 23rd at Cairo, Ga., and every
farmer or business man interested
in the growing of cane and the
manufacture of syrup is earnestly
requested to meet with them and
join in a movement which has for
its object the improvement of meth
ods of manufacture and increasing
the market for Georgia cane syrup.
This movement is well worth in¬
vestigating and the farmers and
business men of this section inter¬
ested in cane culture aud the man¬
ufacture of syrup should go to
Cairo or* the 23rd and help make
the movement a success.
Hotel Additions.
Mrs. J. M. McNair is thinking
of making some extensive improve¬
ments in the McNair Hotel build¬
ing which will add considerably to
the accommodations of that pop¬
ular hostelry. At present the
capacity of the building is taxed to
its utmost and oftejj*. during court
week or special occasions guests
have to be turned away for want
of sleeping accomodations.
The addition proposed will be
erected on the north and west
sides aud will be cut up into large
roomy bedrooms.
