Here Shall the Press the People*s Rights Maintain BY JOHN M BROWN. 1 BAINBRIDGE. GEORGIA. THURSDAY ■0RNINC. JULY 9. 1908, | Vol. 39—No. l6—$l.oo a Yoar r ' u$> P J 31 4 Ar- ^^ > -f a .= STATE HEWS =*i :-: GATHERED FROM ALL SECTIONS :-: "T T- T 1 T"- r ^ O: Nineuvn billion i in* were inano-. ft Min-t! !a«t year, but you can never find one of them when von need it most. Stick one right, here. Another link in the Darwinian Hit ory. A scientist now says vanity knows no sex in the monkey family, md we are half disposed to believe it. While tiie legislature is consider, ing a four-year term for the gov ernor, it %tonld do well to consider biennial sessions for itselt. Some Oregon cities celebrated the Fourth of July during three days. Now that is something like it; one day to get wound up and properly keyed; one to realty eeU> bril<; one to recover. It is a gn at ► ••heme. Those girls who did not connect with a marriage lie nse 1 st month need not despair. Tue vinculum matrimoni is j :st as strong and binding when assumed in any other month of the year Senator Wiikes of the Seventh district introduced a bill in the ups pe* house of the legislature last week providing for a division ot school money between, the whites and blacks according to the taxes paid by each Senator, we’re with yon, tooth amt nail. Maybe, after all, it would be a good thing to let the legislature see how’ Georgia prohibition works in Chattanooga, and in Jacksonville as well, since the members have seen it in Atlanta. A New York drummer says the only difference he could notice in the three cities was that in Chattanooga and Jacksonville they leave the ’abels on, while in At lanta they soak them off. When Joseph ft! Brown receives notification of his nomination to the governorship of Georgia, h > w ill -land upon the same spot that his father stood on fifty.one years ago when he was notified ot his selection tor the same office. The' exercises will he held on the fawn in front of Mr. Brown’s residence in Marietta. Governor Smit"' recommends in his message that the date ot the primary for state honse officers be fixed by statute. The recommend*, turn is a good one. Such an irnpor' taut matter ought cot to be left to the control of scheming politicians. The primary wns held oa r ly this year, and there was much criticism ot those who fixed the date ot it. It i* nnnecessarv to inquire hero why *>■0 -arlv h date wa« decided upon. • I •' governor now seems to think “ 0 date should be considerably '»t - ard that it shotfld be made permanent, an 1 in this we agree with him. A family in Waterbuty, Conn., has been driven om ot the house by snakes. Too bad when a whole farndy turns to drink. It ;«* Bryan ihisand Bryan that— Bryan will and Bryan won’t—at Denver. Isn’t trie national Demo cratic party ro have anything to say at Denver? The men who make money out «>t ihe convict leases will be very busy about the eapnal the next few weeks. Tiny will have lots of friends who will have lots ol money to pay tor the near beer or nearly anything else ilmi looks iik*- that it wants to be paid for. There are so many more important things to talk about just now; the blackberry season; ihe crime of aduL (erasing ice cream; the value of beer as a cooling beverage—anything but politics. We can’t vote till November Many ol us can’t vote then. Let us have peace until the dog ditys are gone! We understand that a local option plank rmght h^ve h en passed in the state platform, but for the wishes of Mr. Brown, who h:d signed the pledge to ihe preachers on the other side. Somebody says a local option plank might have stampeded the convention. Now, what did the c nvention think abo .t prohibition, anyhow? Mr. Adams, of Chatham, is after the money shark. He has ju-t passed through the legislatures, bill making it a misdemeanor lor any person or corporation to charge 1 more than 5 per cent per month for the loan of money. Of course, this legalizes then any ra*e ner cen'ura up to 60 per cent per annum on •loans. Verily Shylock is alive |a rain. ! There is talk th.it an eminent ' Georgian 1* already laving plans to oppose Senator Bacon four years hence. Senator Bacon is the b gs gest man Georgi 1 has had in Wa-h^ ingt >n in many years, and the peo ple are going to keep him the<e as long as lie will serve them. Bacon is a cr. dit to tSeorgta and to th<~ South. There was nothing wrong in the recommeudaiion of the platform o. the recent stale convention that ali the sinecures be cut out of the state government. This reform is of the genuine sort and it Senator Peld.r is sincere in his efforts 10 this end he deserves support and commenda- lion. We have of eo in isted tbar we have too many state offices. 3i seems to be the work ot every !e_' islature to create a new department or emp oy extra help to carry on tire j state’s business. The Remedy That Dees. “Hr. King’s New Discovery is ' m remedy that doe^the healing “t i 'f' pu.rri=e ’njt fail t 1 perform.’ c kv> Mr--. K R. Pier«oUj of Auburn ' • ntro.

And the Macoc News sends back this answer “Not that we have ever heard of. In lat- it costs roost fo’ks the shirt on ibei backs. All we have ever been able to learn about this question is, rbaj. it pays well to soil 'em, but not t drink’era. Y*-u wiil notice that i is the dealer that wears the di uiouds &n l cot the drinker. Th question cau best be answered a 1* remade we heard a whiskey dra iner make when ask- J to i.av • dr.nk: ’Excuse l,c, I sell rt an i h tools drink iu’” 1 he Convict Problem. Th re is another view to take ot the convict labor problem which is now before the state legislature for solution. It is no’ to be denied that by fault of oar own is this problem on as. Figures were given oat from At' ianta a few days ago which show that the state convicts represent at least 1,000 lives taken by murder; but in not one ot these cases was the law administered to the lull ex tent. In every case there was an escape from the gallows. Coinraeutii»4 upon the problem presented by the state convicts the Augusta Chronicle points out that “<«f the 2,500 convicts m the peni tentiary nearly half are there for rape dml murder, for which offenses they should have been hanged long ago. * * * We d.serve to be lormen'e*1 for a’lowing nil this i •. - nocen; blood to carry out lr..m the ground ig-.inst us in vain*. We cannot expect to di- bey ihe Divine edict, Thine eye shtii not pity him, and then lead easy lives. “No one thmg has more contrib uted to British prosperity than Eng land's relentless extermination of murderers. No matter where the crime < ecu is, in London or on the frontiers of a foreign possession, the c.imina , if fairly found guilty, is strung no at <mc€. “But we,-shame on us, hire him out and pocket the ‘.hirty pieces of silver!’ ” No man, 1 o state, no nation arises above his or its ideals. It Can’t Be Beat. The best of ail teachers is expe nence. C. M. Harden, of Silver City, Nor h Carolina, says; “I fir.G Electric Bitt«-rs does all that’? claimed for it. For stomach, liver an . kidney troubles it can’t be beat. I have tried if and nod it a most excellent medicine.” Mr Harden is right; it’s the best of ail medicines also lor weakness, lame back, and *11 run down conditions. Best too for chills and malaria. Sold under guarantee at all drug store*. 5oc. Now that prohibition and dis* franehis mc-nt can take a rest there* in, the Georgia legislature i» taking some lime to “reform” the peniten- liary and tho chaingang atrocities. Certainly the s’ate needs money, but shoald it take blood money? When fonvmts are farmed out to sawmills and tnrpentme operators at fabulous wages, be sure these men will be oppressed and 'ground to death. Gone Forever. Tea years ago, a Decatur county farmer pat- his Ai rals on a dollar bill. The next day he came to Bainbridge and spent it with the editor of this paper. Before the year was out h- got ihe dollar hack Four -iraes in six years the dollar came back to Liin tor produce and three times h^ heard of it in tt.e pockets of his neighbors. The last time he got it back five years ago. He sent it to a mail or. der house. He has sever seen that dollar since, nor never will. That dollar will never pay any more school or road rax tor him, will n \er build nor brighten any of the homes of the community. He 6ent it entiiely out of the circle of use* fulness to himself and^ ne ghbors. However, many 'honsand* have been sen; to mail order liduses for which 11 * good results have b en re.-eired—and never will be. Up and Boo ning. Tell me not in mournful numbers that the town is full of gloom, for a man’s a crank that slnmbers in these bustling days of boom. Life is real, life is earnest, and the grave is not its goal; every dollar that tL on turne8l helps to make the old town roll. But enjoyment and Dot sor row is our destined end or way; if you have no money, borrow—buy a corner lot each day! Lives of great men all remind us we can w.n immortal lame. Let us leave the thumps behind us, and we’il get there just the same. In this wodd’- bread battle, in the bivouac of life, let us make the dry bones rattle— buy a corner for'your wife! Let us then be up and doing, with a heart lor any fate; still achieving, still pvrsuing, booming early, booming late. 25 Cents a Pound. Let the merchants and. ; warehoiue men get together nnd set a p’ic on the first bale of cotton and fix the A price high enough to attract the cot* ton. All aie interested in cotton receipts, which is one of the great - est factors in the city’s commerce. Let the increase of 1908 be the greatest in our history. It can be done only by showing the farmers that Bambridge intends to pay them a good price for their cotton. It is always troublesome t<> get up a premium price after the cotton comes to town. We want to see the first bale bring at least 25 ceDts per poanl and the business men can easily arrange it if they will start in time. If Women Only Knew What a Heap of Happiness It Would Bring to Bain- bridge Homes. Hard to do housework with an aching back. Brings you hours of misery at leisure or at work. Ifwonen only knew the cause—that Backache pains come from sick kidneys, *Twould save much needless woe. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys. Bainbridge people endorse this. Mrs. AI. J. Reynolds, living in Bainbridge, Ga, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills and I have suffered from Jkidney troubie fur a long while and although I do not expect a complete cure in eO short a time, 1 can 9ay tn«t Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at the Wil li- Drug Company, gave me great relief, and have rati-fied me that :n y«re an excellent remedy for | feiauey complaint. 1 do not object to giving inynaiueHrt »d tndur-o of Doan’s Kidney Pills and hope that other suff-.rors will try this remedy amt be benefilted by its use.” F ir -on* ny ail dealers.
