Swindell rc Co. candidate who does so run* the | Dessert Lumber Co chance* of being flagged. Alabama’s liew constitution will forbid the iss.iing of free passes by railn-ada to legislators. Now let Alabama pass. A merchant in an adjoining town advertises “Honest Shoes" for sale. 'FI c r.egrQus of that community will probably go it bare-footed. According to the New York World it is difficult to tell whether the man with the black eye has been on all excursion or umpiring a baseball game. Jack Winters, the fellow who re cently robbed a California smelting works of $280,(910, and subsequently made confession, will probably find things as not as summer. A candidate may run under a full iieud of steam ami not be eternally popping off. In fact too many men setthuir pop valves so low that the steam escapes as fast as it generates. Lei’s “harmonize” matters a little in Booth Georgia. Mr.- Turner and Mr. Estill should get together and one of them drop out, as we aren’t piggish euongh to elect both of ’em governor. A wealthy Minnesotan who recent ly died left the provision in his last will and testament that his belongings $450,000 in cash should be burned, in order to prevent a scramble over bis properly by relatives. To effect this purpose an exchange thinks he should have carried the dough along with him. According to the recent census re turns the number of deaths in the United States during the last period of ten years has decreased nearly ten percent from that of the previous term. The further showing is made that in 1890 the average age at death was 31.1 y.-ars, while in 1900 it was 35.2 years. An exchange says that the editor of a newspaper has no business to make mistakes; has no business to even gel inything in Ins paper that .people do not like. He ought to know juet what would suit each in dividual, or be ought to take each item before it is published and let the person whom it concerns censor it. He has plenty of time to do all this, and all he has to do is to hunt news and clean rollers, set type clean the floor, pen short items, Inis tie for advertising, fold papers and wrappers, talk to visitors and die- trib ite type, read proof and correct mistakes, d->dge the lulls and dun dekiiquehts, and take cussing, and tell the subscribers that he needs some moucy. 50,(100.00 45,300.0(1 49,000.00 40,900.00 38,000.00 37,865.00 For Cash Only WATER STREET, BAIN BRIDGE, GEOkGU 33,750.00 33,195 00 32,080.00 S.

Four teen of these large tax payers live in Bainbridge, and is an assurance that the city is getting in a position that will enable it in the near future to embark in industrial enterprises that will bring increased wealth and pros perity to our city. There is no use dodging the ques tion ol better public roads for Lfqca- tur county and the sooner the. work is begun the better for the county. Good roads ar.i absolutely essential to the material growth and develop ment of the several seutionS arid the nearer bringing together of town and county. Good roads, good schools and good churches are equal necessities to every commitimy, and the absence of either discredits the enterprise of the citizenship of such community. Let our people stand out boldly for better roads, and then we shall have them. It appears that the several candi dates for governor each have a spe cialty upon which they are basing their claims on the suffrage of the people. For instance: Guerry rides prohibition, while Estill runs ou newspaper popularity. Pope Brown is a farmer aud ex-head of the State Agricultural Association, and of course he should lie chosen, while Mr. Turner declares, “I told you s)o.” But some one asks: How about Ter rell? Well, Joe is just a good ici- low generally aud good looking be sides. May be Joe runs pn Ins face. Alabama negro ..republicans are raising a mighty howl against the new constitution of that state which speaks their disfranchisement. It is not probable that the article-will be dropped trorn the constitution. Shamrock the II, Sir Thomas Lip- tou’s racing yacht, has arrived New York aud is in perfect shape.
