AND BAIN BRIDGE.
Baiabrldge, Qa., November 4, 1403.
The Pelham Journal continues
to grow in interest.
And so Mr. Johnsing didn’t
have even a ghost of a show in
Ohio.
It is unfortunate for the quail
when the gunner doesnt kuow it is
loaded.
It is getting about time the
"coal man" were coming up with
his little joke.
George R. Carter has been ap
pointed to succeed Dole^as gov
ernor of Hawaii.
GOOD PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.
The war clouds “Low-ered" over
New York republicans to the tune
of 70,000 yotes, i
Macon's annexation proposition
is now up to the Supreme court of
Georgia for settlement.
President Roosevelt has issued
his annual proclamation; naming
November 26th, as Thanksgiviug
Day.
The problem “How old is Ann’
has pcen solved by a process of
Ann-alysis. The question now is
How long will Ann be able to bear
up under such a disease.
Sam Jones has reminded those
who seek to go up against him
physically, that he has been
saulted thrice in a life time, but
never a second time by the same
man.
Southern Texas or that portion
of it. afflicted with fever will no
doubt welcome the coming frost.
Texas bids fair to rival New York
in the number of her plagues and
misfortunes.
The Valdosta Times remarks
that the cork leg trust is going to
raise prices and the man who has
neglected to get his cork leg is up
a stump. He at least is entitled
to a vigorous kick.
The Mormon elders haye been
travelling through this section re-
cently distributing their literature.
The peculiar thing about it is that
we have not as yet heard of them
insulting any respectable white
women.
It now appears that the race be
tween Judge Fish and Judge Ev
ans for the supreme court bench
will be a warm one before the pri-
maries are over. Judge Fish is
the present encumbent of the po-
sition
The Pine Forest and the Wire-
grass Blade, Emanuel county’s two
local papers have recently com
bined under the style of the For
est-Blade. S. J. Tyson and W. E.
Boatright, editors, at the helm
ought to make it cut a wide swath
in Georgia journalism.
We understand that the trio of
excellent representatives of Thom
as county in the last legislature
will be candidate for re-election.
There have been rumors of opposi
tion but thus far it seems doubtful
that it will materialize. At pres
ent the county representation is
pretty well distributed, there being
a representative from the extreme
eastern and western divisions of
the county and the third frr>m
TUimasv i-le.
Before the year 1904 passes we
hope to see inaugurated in Deca
fur county a movement for better
public roads that will not down.
Nothing adds more to the taxable
valuation of the property of the
Bounty; not to speak of the con-
venience of the citizens, than the
introduction of good public roads.
Many counties of Georgia are al
ready alive on this subject; Clarke
county, for instance, which has is
sued bonds for that purpose. Early
county for several years has been
employing the road tax system
with the most gratifying results.
Road machines are operated with
free labor as it is found that this
is cheaper than employing con)
victs in the face of the high prices
that are in effect. We are not yet
suggesting what plan should be
adopted; we are rather preferring
to get the people to see the im
portance of good roads, believing
that they will not be slow to adopt
the best means of securing the re
suit.
The fight between the railroads
and the lumbermen oyer the ad
vance made in the lumber rates to
points north of Ohio, is continued,
A conference was held last week
with the hope of effecting a com
promise, but no satisfactory agree
ment could be reached and the
meeting was adjourned until Do
cember, when it will be held ii
Washington. It is to be hoped
that the Interstate Commerce
Commission will be able to arbi
trate the matter satisfactorily and
that all litigation between the
lumbermen and the railroads will
be abolished.
SALE OR
Profit Sharing Construction Bond;
South Georgia syrup is begin
ning to do for this section what
the native grass crops have been
doing for the past several years.
It took a good deal of urging to
induce our farmers to accord to
Georgia hay that attention which
its immense value demanded, but
now urging is no longer necessax
ry; and since the native cane crop
has forced its importance upon the
attention of progressive agricul
turists, it is claiming, every year,
a greater share of their attention.
The future of Georgia hay and
Georgia cane is magnificent. Says
the Albany Herald.
Judge Griggs has recently been
hobnobbing with Thomasvillian*,
and while there was a guest of Col.
Anderson Roddenberry Mr.
Griggs is a staunch supporter of
Hearst for president, and has even
been mentioned as the probable
chairman of the National Demo
cratic Executive Committee in the
event of Mr. Hearst’s nomination,
for the presidency.
One of the leaders in aristocrat
ic circles in Washington, Mrs. Van
Renssalear Cruger, has invited
Booker Washington to be her
u<-st on bis next visit north. No
wonder Yankee Journalists so
harshly condemn lynch law in the
South.

Pickpockets have been unusu
ally aotive in the vicinity of the
fairs that have been held thus far
in'Georgia this year. There are
other fairs to be held and our
readers are warned against the
festive sharper who follows these
assemblages of the people.
A more or less severe storm
passed over this section th<- first
of the week. At Colquitt, in Miller
county, the wind unroofed the gin
nery ot F, E. Fudge and did'other
damage. We have heard of no
ca&Un.ities in this county.
