OFFICIAL ORGAN DECATUR COUNTY 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.
