AND BAIN BRIDGE.
Bainbridge, Ga.,> September 25, 1903.
It is contended that since Sir
Tom Lipton's latest defeat by the
Reliance he has Shamrocks to
burn.
The Savannah Press thinks that
the negroes should not be deported
till they have at least gathered
the present cotton crop.
The marvelous beauty and glory
of this fall weather is knocked sky
high by the thought of the ad>
vanced price of coal the coming
winter.
The baseball season has been
closed, and the baseball fan has
gone the way of all other fans
with the approach of cooler
weather.
The Lincolnton Home Journal
joins the ranks of those who declare
that sensatioual newspapers are a
curse to any land, and the Journal
is about correct
On account of the serious dam*
age to the crop the Florida orange
will bring an unusual price. The
one consolation of the grower is
the fewer the oranges the higher
the price.
The Albany Herald and the
Thomasville Times Enterprise are
highly creditable sheets, and are
factors to be considered in the
growth and development of South
Georgia.
The Darien gazette remarks that
the proverbial thirty cents is much
larger than that small politician
who continues to move around
trying to get an office four sizes
too large for him.
Senator H. W. Hopkins, of
Thomasville, has been mentioned
as a probable candidate for prison
commissioner to succeed the Hon.
Sid Turner as chairman of the
board. Mr. Hopkins has a strong
following throughout Georgia, he
was an advocate of the Felder
bill and would no doubt receive
substantial support from friends of
the Bibb representative. Clean in
his habits, sober in his judgment,
strong in his convictions, the able
senator Hopkins would make a
good commissioner should there
be a change in the board.
A brother editor is indignant
that the term “fortune hunter”
should be applied to “Miss Goelet’s
Duke,” and calls it a true love
match because the Duke claims
that his bank account equals that
of his bride-elect. The Duke
stands acquitted; naturally if he
were a fortune hunter he would
acknowledge it. What is the mat
ter with our brother, is it a case
of a guilty conscience?
The government agricultural de*
partment is to experiment exten
sively with the mango, having an
eye to popularizing it as a fruit in
the United States. The fact is
that the "man”go is already a
popular vegetable among the fe
male contingent of your Uncle
Sam’s domain. Another fact
that what makes the mare go won’t
alwavs make the mango.
Bobby Walthour, Atlanta’s idol
has strengthened his hold on
Atlanta’s affections by his recent
victory over the “Gentleman of
France.” Bobby though married,
hasn’t met his match yet.
The State of Georgia should change
the date of her exhibit to Ootober of
the present year and transfer her
$30,000 appropriation to Macon.
Considering the trouble she seems to
be having it would bo more conven
ient if not more appropriate.
The Dawson News has passed
its 21st birthday and is one of the
brightest and best weeklies that
comes to our exchange table.
Editor Rainey is giving to the
people of Terrell a local paper of
which they need not feel ashamed.
A Jersey City man used an ax
on his wife and a knife on himself,
which leads an exchange to re*
mark: “That’s just the way with
some men—they think anything
will ao for their wives, while they
save the best for themselves.”

The Quincy Herald has again
changed hands, this time W. H.
Ellis of Quyicy has purchased the
entire interests of the Quincy
Printing Co. W. E. Inman will
be at the editorial head of the
paper and will direct its policies.
Capt. Dan G. Purse, of Savan
nah, delivered before the Farmers’
Congress in annual session this
week at Niagara Falls, an able ad
dress on “The Sugar Supply of
the United States.” Capt. Purse
is an untiring worker for the cause
of sugar cane culture in the South
and it may be depended upon that
he did not fail to give out a tew
figures as to the possibilities of
Southern Georgia in this direction.

Mr. Hobson, of Merrimac fame,

I that she take her little hatchet and
I construct a stage of her own.
