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! l 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.
