Pelham Defeats Camilla
in Score of 5 to 2.
Iu~bne odtftt?
ball games ever played on the lo¬
cal diamond Wednesday afternoon
Pelham defeated Camilla in a
score of 5 to 2.
It was a clean game skillfully
contested and was intense in its
interest from the start. Up to
the seventh inning not a score was
made and it began to look like a
professional game. Then Ewart
Twitty made a spectacular run
and the local rooters went wild.
In the eighth inning Camilla
scored two and Pelham again
passed a man over the home plate
which left a tie to contest over in
the ninth. The visiting team
failed to score in the ninth/and
tension was at the highest when
the local team went to the bat.
One was down and three on j
'
bases when Judson Twittv sent a
long fly safely into left field and .
brought three men home. Then
things went wild. , |
The batteries for both teams I
were strong and did fine work. •
They were Stewart and Mize for
Pelham and Turner and Harts
field for Camilla. i

PELHAM, GEORGIA, FRIDAY,
Squire Holloway Imposes
on the Joe Brown Slogan.
When “Squire” Holloway, a
dark hued citizen who has pre¬
viously seen the inside of prison
walls, was arraigned before Jus¬
tice H. B. Tucker just after elec¬
tion on the charge of stealing a
sack of meal, he imposed some¬
what on the election slogan,
“Brown and Bread.”
“Squire” was charged with hav¬
ing taken a sack of meal from the
grist mill of G. W. Kornegay and
the goods having been found in
his possession he admitted the
theft.
But he put up an interesting de¬
fense that to some of the enthusi¬
asts is considered worthy of seri¬
ous consideration. When Justice
Tucker Vith his usual grave dig¬
nity demanded of the prisoner
that he stand up and answer
‘ ‘gu i 1 ty ’ ‘ t -unity’ ’'the ac
~rose and answered, “F m
guilty, yer honor. But I heerd
every body talking ’bout Brown
and Bread, and Brown was ’leer¬
ed, and I wanted some bread and
I thought it was alright to take
dis meal.”
This seemed to be satisfactory
to the darkey and he sat down sure
of his dismissal from custody*
Justice Tucker, however, after
suggesting that a loyal Joe Brown
supporter might hail him out com¬
mitted him for appearance before
the City Court of Pelham and as¬
sessed his bond at one hundred
dollars.
The State Convention.
The delegates to the state con¬
vention from this county were
elected by the executive committee
f its meetlI1 S 111 Camilla on June
Camilla The d ® and le S*“ D. M. * re Rogers E ' E ^ ' C ^ ot °* Pel- f
ham. The alternates are R. D.
Bush of Camilla and C. M. Baggs
f>f Pelham.
The convention will.be held in
Atlanta .June 23rd. At this con¬
vention a state platform will be
adopted and delegates to the Na¬
tional Convention to be held in
Denver will be chosen from the
stale at large. At this time it
seems certain that these delegates
will be 0. R. Pendleton of Macon,
A. H. Cox of Atlanta, Thomas W.
Loyless of Augusta and James An¬
derson from Savannah.
The convention will doubtless
abolish the majority rule inaugur¬
ated by the Macon Convention un¬
der the dictation of Hoke Smith
and restore the unit rule whereby
the counties will be represented
according to the number of repre¬
sentatives they have in the legis¬
lature.
First Car of Melons.
Messers McKefifp and Tucker
made a shipment &f the first car
of melons from this point Satur¬
day. The melons' were grown bv
E. M. Kenningtojn, Jr. and were
loaded Friday. June 5th. is per
haps the earliest that melons have !
ever been shipped from this point, j
The car contained 1400 melons
of the rattlesnake variety averag¬
ing 18 pounds. They went t o
"brokers at New Orleans and it is
expected that they will net the
shippers a fancy price.
Shall The City Have Two
Voting Places.
The task of counting out the
votes in Pelham hay become so
burdensome when there are a num¬
ber of candidates to be voted for
in an election that it is becoming
hard to get some one to help hold
the election.
In Thursday’s election the man¬
agers did not finish-Counting the
vote until long after midnight,
having commenced t lie count as
soon as the polls closed at three
o’clock.
The registration indite Pelham
precinct is nearly three hundred
more than that in the next largest
precinct in the county and it is
being urged that the tedious task
of counting out the vote ought to
he relieved by establishing an¬
other voting place in the city.
