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. H. H. CHEATHAM, M. D. GENERAL PRACTICE.

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. Bainbridge, Georgia. Capital $60,000; Paid up $25,000; Bands $35,000, CHARTERED UNDER THE LAWS OF GEORGIA.
