SEARCH LIGHT. S. RUSSELL BRINSON, eai-rom and pmjp OFFICIAL ORGAN DECATUR COUNTY AND BAIN BRIDGE. Bainbridge, Ga., October 16, 1903. WHEN BROWN CAME TO TOWN. That Wall street controls the price of cotton is an undisputed tact, however lamentable. The bulls and the bears constitute the opposing factions who are forever playing their little game of see saw at the expense of either the pro ducer or manufacturer of cotton. When the bulls by a. toss of their horns pitch the prices sky ward the farmer shouts and the miller howls. When the bears by the weight of their mighty paws crush prices earthward it is the farmer’s howling time and the millers laugh with glee. As a rule, about the time farmer is ready to market his crop the bear contingent begins to fee! its oats and cavorts around the ring and corners the market and it seems to be beyond the power of the lusty bulls to horn them off until it is too late to do the farmer any good. This year has proven one excep tion. A mighty bull appeared on scene at New York; his name was Brown, and he hailed from the city of New Orleans With tail erect and horns crouched, he went at his enemies, gored them full of holes and routed them irom the ring. Thus he made two success ful corners and put prices up to figures satisfactory to the farmers. By his operations he put several millions of dollars into his own pockets and incidentally many millions into the pockets of the farmers all over the South. Bull Brown, of N. O., should be called the farmer’s friend and they will no doubt remember him in their prayers. He may then, in the great hereafter, get forgiveness for the sin of trading in cotton fu tures. JUDGE HANSELL. Judge A. H. Hansell, of Thom- asville, who was for fifty years^a Judge of the superior court and who retired a few months ago from the judgship of the Southern, cuit, has again entered the active ptactice of law. Judge Hansell has formed a part nership with H. J. and W. I, Me- Intyre under the firm name of Hansell McIntyre & McIntyre. The bar of the circuit over which he presided so long and with such wisdom and justice will welcome his return among them to prac tice and his valuable services will no doubt be in demand. The young men of the firm are men of brains and promise and are ex tremely fortunate in their asso ciate. The Memphis Commercial Ap peal has comp d and published a list of the names of those involved in the recent P -t Office scandals. There wen twenty-five indict ments on the charges of bribery and conspiracy to defraud the ov- ernment Such a state of affairs would not be tolerated—in fact would have never occured under the Democratic administration. Pleasant Stovall, the brilliant editor of the Savannah Press is be ing prominently mentioned in con nection with the next Congression al race from his district, Editor Stovall stands high in the etima- tion of the people and he would make a strong opponent to Mr. Lester should he enter the race in opposition, which is considered very probable. It is said that Roosevelt is the first president we have had in some time who wrote his own speeches. In writing the address that he is to deliver at the unveiling of the statue of General Sherman, we fear he will find it difficult to avoid mentioning the name of the Gen eral. Perhaps this time, he has decided to give the “devil his due.” :S ALE Profit Sharing Construction Bonds. "Here is something worth know ing, says an exchange: "When a splinter has been driven into the hand, it can be extricated without pain by steam. Nearly fill a wide mouth bottle with hot water, then place the injured part over the mouth and press tightly. The suction will draw the flesh down and in a minute or two the steam wilt extract the splinter and the inflamation together.” That Russo-Japanese entangle ment has assumed such propor tions that it is now evident that there must be some fighting or a retraction. As compared to Rus sia’s fighting strength, the little Island empire of Japan were but as weakness itself However the Japs arc great fighters, The average Georgia darkey will seek to know whether Liberia pro duces watermelons before be takes much stock in Bishop Turner’s de portation scheme. The varying estimates as to the Presidents weight is due somewhat to the size of the pistol he happens to be toting at the time his weight is taken.

The following truth was uttered by a wise but unsophistocated phi losopher: “The country papers have many faults, they make many blunders and leave undone many good works. Yet when you follow them month after month you are convinced of the loyalty with which they stand by their commu nity, and the constancy with which they preach the doctrine of good citizenship and fair play in all things. The flood swept coast of New England has the sympathies of the rest of the country. It is said that wreckage lines the shores for hundreds of miles, while the loss to property both on land and sea has been enormous. Joe Chamberlin’s stand for tar iff legislation for Great Britian is not being very well received by that government.
