v To Delinquent Subscribers.
The Postoffiee Department at
Washington issued an order on
December I, 1907, which requires
that all weekly newspapers sent to
subscribers who owe for more than
one year’s subscription, shall not be
admitted to the mails at the regular
newspaper rate of postage.
We have some subscribers on our
books who are in arrears and we
urge them to settle their subscript
lions at once. Those who tail to
settle by April 1st, 1908, their names
will have to be stricken from the
list.
Half a Dollar.
If you are in arrears with The
Democrat on account of subscription,
We will send you the paper one year
for half a dollar, if you will come in,
pay up arrearages and filty cents m
ad vance. We prefer to paying de
linquents to paying a lawyer to
eolleot the bill. Now come across.
To Vets.
If the State pensions of the Yets
are to be paid before the first of
March, announcement will be made
ip the Democrat as soon as possible,
coming through the Ordinary. The
fee allcfwed the Ordinary heretofore
is paid now by the county and not
by the pensioner.

PERSOSELLE OF CANDIDATES.
Mr. A- A- Subers.
This estimable gentleman, resident
of Donaldsonville, has entered the
lists for Representative from Deca
tur in the coming Democratic pr -
mary. (Ilis announcement \yas
handed ns too late, last week,,for
editorial attention)
Mr Subers is a man of affairs and
fully qualified for the position he
seeks, and is, with all, a most genial
gentleman. He is a brother of the
late Mr W C Subers of this city and
an uncle of Mr J I Subers, the
jeweler, and has lived in this c.ou *ty
some ten years or more.
We commend him to the favorable
consideration of voters.
Mr. C. A. Smith,
candidate for Sheriff, from Brmson,
Ga., is a young man of fine parts.
(His announcement appeared last
week among the other cards but by
an oversight no reference was made
to it editorially.)
Mr Smith is well and favorably
known on the West Side as a gen.
tleman of exemplary character and
has hosts ot friends who are desirous
of seeing him Sheriff, a position he
is well qualified to fill, and we com.
mend him to the favorable consider,
ation of voters.
Mr Chas- T. Mims.
This most competent and popular
gentleman, who has held the imi
portant offlee of County Surveyor
for several terms, is a candidate for
reselection and The Democrat speci
ally commends him to the favorable
consideration of voters. He is with
out opposition, so far, and this is as
it should be. Capable, faithful, fair
and honest he should have the ucu
divided support of every precinct in
the county.

purifier, makes it especially useful

Crude Turpentine
Bainbridge now has a market lor Crude Turpentine I
will be interesting to every one making the product for a
ket. Seeing that a market for this enterprise wa5>nece»
in South Georgia, I have opened a Crude market at Bainbril
Ga., by reason of its many advantages as a shipping point
propose to buy crude turpentine anywhere on the O f ij
or the Coast Line railways, within 50 miles of Bainbrl
Besides, it can be shipped here from either one of the rival
small cost. I intend that teis market shall be second to J
for Crude Turpentine. Wilmington, N. C., has had then
tation of being the best Crude Market in the world. It i>|
oldest but no better than Bainbridge. I quote virgin gumr
day at $5.oo; old dip, $4 5o, for 280 pounds. For utri
information write me at Bainbridge.
