New Industry For Bainbridge.
A Golden Opportunity for the Investment of Idle Capital
as Shown Below by the State Chemist.
We call attention to the advertisement of the Bainbridge Turpentine and
Pine Product Company, sale of $35,000 first mortgage construction bonds.
We have taken pains to investigate the new industry of the South, and
while it is new, we believe the success of the industry is an accomplished fact,
judging by actual results of plants operation- How John A. McCandless, State
Chemist of Georgia, has by anylization given it as his opinion that the product
of turpentine from plants similar to the one to be established here produces 91
per cent of pure turpentine from wood distilled under or up to 330 degrees Far-
enheit. The sale for rosin oils, also a product, creosote, tar and charcoal is a
ready one. The plant here will cost fifty thousand dollars, and the lightwood
materials here in Decatur County is so abundant and good that we believe the
plant will be a good dividend paying one from the start.
These bonds bear 8 per cent, interest annually and also contain the pro
visions that these bbnds shall draw the same dividends as the stock. The bonds
are secured both interest and principal by a first mortgage upon the plant, this
making the.r security perfectly sound. <
As an investment we believe that the bonds will be first class and pay
fully as much in dividends as is claimed they will. Addition to this, it is wise
for our people to aid in this matter by investing in these bonds because it will
be the means of employing labor and utilizing a material that now goes to
waste. To our farmers it will be an invaluable industry,‘as it will bring into
market pine stumps upon their land, no stumps on land make a good farm.
We feel safe in recommending those who have money to invest in these
bonds to so as this means to Bainbridge and Decatur county an industry that
will aid in increasing our property in a degree that will be felt over the county
by our farmers. This plant means that others will follow.
Theo. R. Manry to Wed.
Mr. Theo R. Manry, of the
wholesale firm of McRee and Cal
lahan of this city, will leave Sun*
day for Rathburn, Tenn., where
he will wed Miss Rosalie Glenn,
Tuesday, July 14th, at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. M. Gray.
The bride-to-be is one of the
fairest maidens of Tennessee,
formerly of Macon, Ga„ and Mr.
Manry is an energetic young busi
ness man of Bainbridge. Both be
ing popular in social circles their
many friends will be interested in
their marriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Manry will be at
home to their irienos about the
20th, inst., at the home or Mrs.
O’Neal on Shotwell street.
The preacher says “I’m glad
salvation’s free.” The legislator-
man sing, “I’m glad railroad passes
are free.” Some newspaper cusses
would go to- well for free hash.
But the moneyless man has arrived
at the conclusion that only starva
tion is really free.
The Wainhurst Railway.
Application has been filed in
the clerk’s office of the superior
court of Decatur county asking
that the Wainhurst railway be in
corporated,.
G. J. Cook and J. K. Joice, of
Chicago, and J. A. McIntosh and
H. M. Graham of Decatur county,
are the petitioners and are repre
sented by Attorney M. E. O’Neal.
A copy of the application is pub
lished in another column of this
issue.
The incorporators desire to
build a standard guage railroad
trom Brinson in a southwesterly
direction for a distance of twenty
miles. This railroad is to be used
principally for hauling logs, lum
ber, naval stores, farm products,
merchandise and wood. While it
is to be used and operated for the
the benefit of the enterprises en
gaged in by the incorporators,
still they are seeking tbe right to
become a common carrier and thus
accommodate the public living
long and contiguous to the pro-
and
posed line and make rates
charges therefor.
This will make an outlet for a
very valuable section of the
county that has hitherto had no
railway facilities, and it is expect
ed that this section will develop
radidly under the impetus given
by outside communication. The
gentlemen at the head'of this en
terprise are doing much for the
section through which their road
is to pass, and w 11 no doubt have
the hearty co-operation of the cit
izens to be benefitted. • They are
The same parties who own the
Stuart Lumber Co., and the
Spring Creek Naval Stores Com
pany.
The capital stock of the Wain -
hurst Railway is to be $50,000
fully paid in. They desire the
privilege of increasing it to $100,
000. The principal offices of the
company will be at Brinson
Score another for the Georgia
Senate. It has killed the so called
Australian Ballot Bill. Mind you,
“killed” not “scotched.” Selab!

The Fourth at
Hinson and Havana
Last Saturday, quite a crowd of
people gathered at Hinson and
Havana, Fla., two flourishing
towns on the G. F. & A. railway,
located among the finest fields of
tobacco in the world, to celebrate
the Fourth of July, the 127th an
niversary of the Independence of
these grand United States of
America from British oppression,
The picnickers were made up of
the best people of Bainbridge, Tal
lahassee, Quincy, and other places
along the road and of that section,
The day was an ideal one for the
occasion, and was spent in perfect
harmony; the old discussing the
crops and current issues; while the
young spent the time in romping,
frolicking and making love under
the shade of Florida’s beautiful
trees. Plenty of ioe water and
cold drinks wete served on the
grounds and every body kept cool.
At 12 o’clock dinner was an
nounced and a most sumptuous
feast it was, about 1,800 souls
gathered about the long tables to
partake of the dainty and delicious
food, and after the appetite of
everyone had been fully conquered
there still was enough left to sat
isfy another crowd of the same
number. Indeed, the good ladies,
of that community know how to
prepare a good dinner and please
hungry picnickers.
The 4th Regiment Band from -
Bainbridge was on hand and made
excellent and appropriate music
tor the occasion at Hinson and re
ceived many compliments from .
the people.
In the afternoon the crowd
gathered at the Havana ball
ground to witness a game between,
the local teams. It was a fine and.
amusing game to see some profes-.
sional plays made and errors to-
counteract the good plays.
The day was ended by a pleasr
ant dance given at the Hinson
Hotel in honor of the picnickers
and guests. The attendance was
large, composed of old and young,
and many old dances of our fore
fathers of ye olden times were in
dulged in and all enjoyed the even
ing immensely.
Through the hospitality and
courteousness of the good peoplei
of Hinson and Havana and the
efficient management of the G. F.
& A. railway, everyone was made
to pass a delightful day and hope
to visit that community again on
the Fourth of July 1904.
We would earnestly Invite Con
gressman Crumpacker’s prayful
consideration to the recent utter,
ances of his black brother Crum,
of Charleston, S. C. If he may
find a crum of comfort in them, he
is welcome to them. Bully for
Crum!
Stockholders’ Meeting.

ida and Alabama Railway Com
pany will be held at the office 0
