The Enterprise has one Of tie
best subscription lists in this
part of the state, not especially
large, although larger than any
other paper published in the
county, but unusually strong.
It is recognized as the organ of
the people, who come after it, Or
send for it read it and pay for ii,
and wi .hout solicitation. The
sorriest business in the world is
going round begging people to
subscribe for a local paper, and
next to that is going round ask
ing for the subscription price. We
allow the people to ask us for the
Enterprise, which earnests their
appreciation of the paper and
their intention to pay for same.
We are proud Of our subscrip-
ton list, it's kind Of honor roll
and on it are many names that
we honor.

amined the tickets printed for

to the copy sent out by the chair
man Of the state democratic com
mittee. The probability is that
most Of the counties of the state
are provided with the same sort
of tickets, and if the defect is in

course the amendment will be
overwhelmingly lost. 1t is pos

DEFECTIVE BALLOTS.

"Winder, Ga, October 3.-A
singular feature of the ballots
prepared for the state election of
next Wednesday for use in this
section has been widely discuss
ed the past day or two by the
lawyers, then by the political
factors and finally by the busi-
ness men of this city.
There is some perp1exity as to
the probable result of the varia-
ton in the form of the paragraph
relative to the amendment pro-
vidiDg for the increase of Geor-
gia counties from 1877 to 145.
Whereas the paragraphs stat
ing the vote for or against the
Other amendments, state in the
body of the amendment to be
voted on, the paragraph in refer
ence to the increase in counties,
by some strange oversight,
stand as follows:
For ratification of paragraph 2,
section /, article II, of the con-
stitution Of this state (to make
the number of counties in this
state 145)
well known lawyers and able
iurists IN this section have teen
questioned as to the legality of a
vote in accordance with the terms
of the above paragraph, which
provides for the ratification Of a
paragraph of the constitution
which is manifestly unnecessary,
instead Of ratification Of an
amendment to the constitution.
The verdict Of those who have
looked into the question is that
such vote would be invalid aud
could not be registered as a vote
for the amendment, which is
being submitted to the people Of
the state.
On the other hand the con-
trary vote is stated as a vote
against the amendment to the
paragraph and reads:
Against ratification Of amend
ment to paragraph ?, section /,
article II, of the constitution of
the state (to make the number of
counties in this state 145.)
"Thcse tickets, it is allegc cd,
have been printed both in
Gwinnet and in Walton county,
on different presses and circu-
lated by different county COM
mlttees and the similarity of the
two ballots in this respect, Off
fering as they do from tbs ballots
of other counties Of the state,
has aroused general comment
and much speculation here.
The citizens of Winder have
been very much interested in the
success Of the amendment pro,
viding for an increase Of the
counties Of the state from 1877 to
AS, and would deeply regret to
see a number of good votes lost
TO their cause by mere tecbni-
cality. If the amendment car
ries, Winder will be the county
seat Of one OF the proposed new
counties"

Ocilla was the victim Saturday
night of the Before Day Club"
agitation that has alarmed
various communities recently.
It seems that the whole town
became alarmed, and that prepa-
rations for trouble we're general.
The male population slept by
their loaded rifles, and an armed
guard watched over the town un-
til Sunday mornings sun. l.,
was rumored that the negroes
would attic mpt a raid, or some
diabolical scheme, against that
community Saturday night.
1t seems that a drunken negro
had told negro woman Of the
alleged plot, and that she in turn
reported the matter to some
white friends. Little heed, how
ever, was taken of the report at
rsf, but late Saturday afternoon
negroes began TO disappear

II was related too that a

tried to induce Registrar Warren

1t appears that Mr.. Paulk, who
is the son Of Mr.. Lucius Paulk,
refused to act On the request cf
the negro, the father of the
late Dolfus Paulk, the negro
postmaster at Holt until his
death, less than a year ago, and
chairman of the County Republi-
can Com mittee. 1t is said that
the negro stated to Mr.. Paulk,
the registrar, that there were
negroes enough in that section 10

words to that effect. This oc-
cured several weeks ago, but was
not seriously considered until
Saturday night, and as the Holt
settlement is just southeast Of
Ocilla, all of these things were

with the result that prac-
tically the whole community be-
came alarmed.
Fortunately, Sunday morning
dawned without any ap-
pearance Of trouble, and quiet
and confidence we're soon restcr-

New York, May 27.-The cotton

ing as result of continued dry
weather in portions of the eastern

the advance met little opposition and
soon carried prices to a let gain o.
to 13 points with the late months
showing considerable firInness. l.dt
the squirt of buying was sooh eX-
hauSted and a little later the market
began to sag off under heavy lqu da-
ton. Prices during the balance of
the session ruled more or less i"Ttg-
ular, being rallied quite sharply at
one time in the afternoon by large ex-
ports reported from New Orleans and
going chiefly to Great Britain. There
was also little buying by New Or

Thus far conditions have not been

With the change of the moon ON the
18th the possibility OF rain storms has
been diminished. Showers come and
go but are of little help. Good soak
ing rains are absolutely necessary
to prevent total destruction Of cotton

the nature of State reports through

foolish to expect a good bureau re-

going to get very nervous next week,
and October cotton will gain more

Cotton Letter

Raleigh, N. c.. May 27.-The posi-
ton of the cotton market begins to
look decidedly interesting. For some
time the average trader has been la
boring under the belief that there was
nothing in store for the market but
lower prices as the net result of the
transportation with its favorable
start Selling has been general and
for weeks it has been difficult to find
anyone in the market willing to buy
hundred bales of cotton for higher
prices. There seems to be no ques-
ton that the market is short. The only
traders have been the bears who were
bears at Lee last fall and have
been bears ever since. The South has
sold a good deal of cotton for fall
delivery and the temper of the trade
has been bearish to man The
course of prices has encouraged this
position and for a month there has
been money on that side of the mar
ket. But If present accounts from the
South can be relied upon there is
rude awakening in store and it begins
to look as though it might not be very
far off Last week the market broke
about half cent on rains in the At
lantic coast region. Until the records
were available it was impossible to tell
just how extensive the rainfall had
bSCil. II 10 INV hiiONll ltldl Tie pre-
cipitation was scattered and not at all
heavy enough to do the work neces-
sary. Vast regions east of the Missis-
sippi river have had no rain in six
or eight weeks. State reports show
that cotton in many fields has died
Let there be no confusion regarding
the condition 1t is not simply that
rain is needed. There is a drought
in county after county, some of the
best cotton growing sections of the
Eastern belt, and there is no question
