Pringle drove to the Jones Bridge Wednesday afternoon to inspect the progress of the work They fonnd everything nnected with the new steel span ing along m good shape. in all the places wliere such work , seemed advisable. The eMpen-j***[ o]i [ for , ters have .repaired the gun house, bridges and buildings this fall at a coat of about two hundred dol lars. t The tennis court and golf oourse are in most excellent co|>, dition andthe same can be said of the bridges which have beeu re built. Audj the ones that were destroyed by the freshet last Sep tember have been replaced as have also the one* that had be come unsafe owing to age. In the removal-by death of onr steward, Wm. Moore, the club suffered the loss of a faithful ser vant who always filled bia posi tion admirably. We are fortu nate in having other competent employee# who have undertaken to take charge of the Clnb House and I am glad that no word of complaint has been heard and trust the present arrangement will prove satisfactory. Automobiles have made their appearance in onr grounds and as they have come to stay and as there will probably be numbers of then); from now on, I would suggest ' that they be .welcomed and that certaiu roads be alloted to them, so that -people driving fractious horses will know where they-enn drive and feel sure that tlioy will not meet autos There fore I suggest Shat the old bicyele road juBt inside the fence be con verted into ;• road for automo biles. Also I would suggest that the club or else the members as individuals encourage the present game laws which have been pass ed «o stop quail shooting for the market and take steps to form a game protective association which will also own the shooting rights on as many good fields as seems advisable and issue weekly, mouthly and season tickets for same and thus draw sportsmen to Thomasville and in this way in crease the number of winter visit ors that will be desirable clnb members. One other subject, that may seom out of place in this report, I wish to toudh upon—and that is <the condition of the woods bor dering the road leading from town to onr elnb (grounds.

A Reply to "Voter.” I am surprised at the weak and inconsis ontsrtiole signed “voter” iu yesterday's paper. Barrooms have beeu driver from Tliomae county for all time. And I do not believe that the pco- pis are ready to welcome a dead lier nnd a more damnable foe— ili« dispensary system. In othor words, I do not behove that the people of Thomas coun ty have driven others out of the liquor business in order to eu gage in it themselves. If there are thoso who went to go to war in fsvorof s dispensary, lie people are reedy for battle A* to an abandenoe of blind tiger*, especially in Thomaaville. I can only say that I believe they are hero (I want to add also, that 1 liblinv" -ome of them might be aught.) But tho dispensary aye- cm doM not lessen blind tigers.
