Bainbridge, Gs., Doc. lO, 1968
There’s plenty of men in Augusts
who would loan Mr. Taft their fur
nished homes this winter and live
in the barn for the sake of a nice
federal appointment.
It was real kind of the railroads
to put on those reduced rates for
the holidays in view of the fact
that they have been doing the
Fame thing for many years past.
The prospective visit of Sanfa
< l,?u« has caused the little folks to
he juntas good as can be. They’d
better or old fcauta wiil not rembor
f: iir stockings'.
‘‘The next president stands six
feet one inch,” remarks an ex
change. It matters little how tali
Uc is, the question that the South
wouid like to know is, how broad’
he is.
Now that Atlanta has cured her
self of the Jim Woodward habit,
what next?—Augusta Uhrou icle.
If the new mayor doson’t dry the
town ar d drive out the dive ele
ments he will fail of his duty.
Georgia will have to have a law
t» protect the game else sooa there
will be no game. There is’nt a
great deal now, and insect life—
the kind that devastate crops are
increasing at a tearful rate, on ac
count of the dearth of bird life.
It looks like one who likes chit
terlings as well as the editor of the
Moutgomery Advertiser does,
would not spelt the word “chit
lings.”—Columbus Enquirer.
And they smell and taste much
better when spelled and dressed
right.
Georgia is holding her breath
anent Atlanta’s mayoralty muddle.
May have to hold her nose after it
cames to an eud.—Oglethorpe
Echo.
Why so? Maddox the clean cut
ehristian gentleman is elected. It
all depends upon the view point.
So far the people of Georgia have
not shown any great worry on ac
count of the alleged deficit that the
next administration will have to
face.—Columbus Enquirer.
Its on account of the source of
the “alleged deficit” alluded to and
the purpose of the allegation. The
people of Georgia have very little
faith in any statement emanating
with that source.
Governor Hoke Smith spoke to J
the South Georgia conference la>t
week at Quitman. Ga , on the sub
ject ot “Chris;ian Education. ”His
OFFICIAL GAZETTE OF SHERIFF address was received with the great
est interest by the preachers. A
large audience was present-.
Governor tmith said in part:
“I long to see the resources of our
wonderful state fully hand ed by a
people skilled in the highest degree
I would have them thrifty and pros
perous, mentally, morally and spiriti
ually strong. Then we may expect
that ideal‘condition where weabh
and power are distributed to the cit.
izens generally, and where abun
dance and happiness is the condi
tion of the laigest possible number
individuals.
“Educatior, broadly speaking, is
the preparation of man for his work
in life. It applies fo the head, the
body and the heirr. It should con-
! sist oi the highest possible develop-
! rnenf, menially, morally and physi-
j cally. of the child and the man, hav-
! ing in view, as_ far as i ossible, his
; life work. It should begin at the
j cradle »nd continue to tlm grave
ADVANCEMENT OF GEORGIA.
j “We should lontrihute tor the
I advancement oi the men and c foils
j dren of the world, but our chief m-
| terest is lor Georgia and our imme
diate neighbors. They come first.
We would have all Georgians be-
ievers, but they must be prepared
to be doers as well, if we* make re
turn of the talents with which this
section and this peoule baye been
entrusted
“The white children of Georgia

Misfortune has caused his parents to

“What an inspiring purpose to

others to prepare themselves, that
this may be the loiemost of all

in the character of her citizens.
W hat a life f ull^of joy should come
t* those who help this noble work.
“Our people must prepare to use
the opportunites which God has
given. Not the rich fields, but the
minds and character of the men
constitute the power ot a state. We
have our university, our colleges,
our technological school, our nor
mal institutes and a number of ex-i
cellent high schools, but8o per cent
of our boys and girls reach none of
them. It is for this 80 par cent that
I ask your service.

Prohibition— Panic--Pros
perity
The claim has be n often made
this year that Georgia was standing
the strain ot the panic better perhaps
than any State in the U nion. The
advantage has been credited to the
saving of money for the retail trade
by the closing of the liquor houses.
We repeat the claim The end of
the year approaches and the city ot
Atlanta with $15o,ooo cut out of its
revenue by the loss of the whiskey
tax, is so much rich er in every other
way that the able and painstaking
chairman of the finance committee,
Mr. John D. Grant, announces that
the city will pay all its bills and will
have & balance over.
Bank clearings, real estate, build
ng permits, postoffice receipts, and
ali other lines of business that have
registered themselves automatically,
show that the city has prospered uiu
d r prohibition in ihe very teeth of
the panic.
And now comes the announces
meet that me Sta’e is $4.ooo,oeo
better off than last year, a Ithoug..
the railroads have succeeded in beat
ing down their assessments by about
l4,ooo,ooo, In other words, general
prosperity in Georgia shows an in
crease . f $8,000,000 during the year
of prohibition and panic. By some
bokuspokus the rai'roads seem to
have lost $4,000,000, so that the
State’s balance to profit is $4,oo>>,-

Gov. Smith is a man of varied ac
complishments. Last Monday he
spoke to the Baptists at Madison
and yesterday to the Methodist at
Quitman. He also found a few
minutes Thursday to speak to the
good roads convention in Atlanta.—
Enquirer Sun.
, Isn’t It the truth? Our great
Governor not only covers all Geor

A Chicago scientist claims to
have discovered that metals show
fatigue. The Augusta Herald
thinks that may be correct, since
some metals show a pernicious ac
tivity in getting away out of some
people’s pockets—Rome Tribune
Herald.
This alt depends—Our trouble
has been and is to earn and g t
hold of enough of “metal” to ex
pertinent with.
Up in Georgia under the new law
the demand for convicts exceeds
the supply. In these days ot en
forced idleness this fact should be
a hint to the criminal classes to
move into Georgia where the de

THE RURAL SCHOOLS.
“I would have the rural schools
rest upon the heart of ti.e minister
as a great responsibility. By his
prayers and by his labor each week
he can lighten the burden ol the
teacher, and carry inspiration and
growth into the mind of the child.
“I wish that we could have that
training for our people which eu*
ablts each child and each man to do
with the skill of an artist whatever
he is required to do.
“Artistic skill in the use of the j
hand can be made to build character j
as well as to surround its possessor
with the comforts of life and both of
these can be used to make the man
turn his thoughts upward, and lift
hin. from the purely wordly to the
spiritual.
NO ROOM EOK TEMPTATIONS.
‘•The child or the man filled wtth
a purpose of accomplishment,skilled
to do with artistic excellence any
class of labor, has been given some
thing which will help turn him away
trom evil, and fill him with higher
thoughts, leaving little room for
those temptaions that will always
beat hand.
“We need to fill with this spirit
the educational werk work of the
state, that our God-given oppors
tunities may be ultilized, an 1 that
there may dwell a citizenry of in
dependent individuals, earnestly and
hopefully engaged in the ullilizatian
of toe possibilities which surround
them.”
The governor’s speech was receive
ed with great enthusiasm. Bishop
Candler told him that he had done
some good preaching, and in a way
that indicated that he had Metho
dist associations.
Two Blind Tigers Caught.
On Tuesday last two barrel- of hot
tied whiskey was received by Ex-”
press here by one A b Garrett, and
stored as crockery tn a rrom of an
blacksmith shop near the county
bridge, controlled by a negro blaek-
smitn, who it appears believed it to
be crockery.
On Saturday the officers of the
law got scent of the tiger and set to
watch developments, not knowing
at that time the laii of the tiger.
Meantime Garrett, who is a one
armed white roan about fifty years
of age, and a partner, named H. H.
Bernard got busy disposing of the
booze to the best advantage.
Saturday night Officer Helton lo
cated the lair and “swiped” ihe booze
and arrested the owners and d’ss
pensers, and locked them up and thy
Sheriff locked the booze in the vmlt
m his office and the prisoners in the
county jail. On Monday they went
to trial in City Court and plead
guilty—whereupon Judge Harrell
sentenced Garret to the chaingaag
for six months and Bernard for four
months, withont alternative fiue.
