NDITON AND MOf.
OFFICIAL ORGAN
DECATUR COUNTY
AND BAIN BRIDGE.
Bainbridgc, Oa., November 20,1903.
A large sand paper manufactory
in the north his been destroyed by
fire and as a cinSequ ;nc.‘ we fear
things will not run exactly smooth.
' VV. J Bryan's European tour in
dicates his belief that, just at this
juncture distance might lend eii-
chantmcnt to the view of his fit-
ness for presidential nomination.
After Jan. ist Texas will be
classed among the prohibition
states. Yellow fever and boll wee
vil were bad enough bur even Job
would rebel against this triple com
bination.
The fishing season is over and
the lying fisherman gives way to the
tclhnv with the smart pointer dog
and who kills forty odd—usually
forty-seven—birds out of a possi-
ble fifty.—Albany Herald.
Andrew H. Green known as
the "Father of Greater New York”
was killed last week by a negro who
was presumably insane. This in
sanity game is growing too com
mon and too convenient—to the
murderer.
Brunswick, by dint of hard
struggle, has at last secured a
white primary The movement
was in the hands of representative
men of both sides, and although
strenuously opposed by the News
it was carried with apparent satis
faction to both parties.
Moultrie is enforcing the Calvin
Act without regard to sex. Last
week nine negro women having
no visible means of support were
arrested on the charge of vagrancy
and after a preliminary hearing
three of them werefound guilty and
will be tried at city court this
week.
Thoniasville disclaims all knowl
edge of the man, Tim S. Pickens
who is implicated in the Baron von
Friezen affair. The authorities of
that city say that if he is from
Thomasvillc Picitens is an alias.
Even the fact that the victim is of
noble family can't induco Thomas-
ville to recognize her degenerate
son.
Roosevelt’s nomination of the
negro Crum as collector of the
port of Charleston, S. C., is only
another mistake added to his al
ready overflowing catalogue. His
administration will go down in the
annals of history as the “epoch
of errors’’ and Roosevelt himself
will wear the appropriate title "a
strenuous blunderbuss."
THAT SMOOTY AFFAIR.
Politic s—religion—women.
What singl . foe could withstand
this tripple alliance? With the
three most powerful forces in. the
universe combined to defeat him
the would-be senator from Utah
will be compelled to return to his
harem and seek consolation for his
blighted ambition in the sunny
smiles of his better halves
Reed Smoot is doomed. These
powers that be, have decreed that
he shall be removed from his seat
in the United States Senate. His
trial has been called, witnesses
subpoenaed all that now remains
is to hear the argument tor the
defense—merely a necessary form
in this case—then the grand in
quisitor will don the black cap and
pronounce the sentence of banish
ment. For what these powers say,
they do.
Very mysterious are their move
ments yet it has been noised abroad
that the financiering committee of
the Smoot opposition has employ
ed John G. Carlisle to conduct the
investigation of the case. He will
prove that the Hon, Mark Hanna
and Perry Heath, chairman and
secretary respectively of the Re
publican national commute, pledg
ed immunity to the Mormons on
condition that the electoral vote
of Utah be given to McKinley in
1900. Just another form of the
epidemic now prevailing in the
U. S.—graft. But then all graf
ters are honorable men!
Furthermore—and this is the
religious and feminine phase of the
affair—it will be proved that Reed
Smoot, one of the twelve apostles
of the Mormon church, despite
his denials, is a polygamist; As
such he is unfit for the high po*
sition he so desires to occupy.
And so Reed Smoot is doomed.
The Religionists will breathe the
calumnies, the politicians will
prove them. The woipen of the
nation drawing their skirts daintily
aside from the polluting touch will
cry "unclean, unclean,” while the
world in virtuous indignation casts
the stone that drives the moral
leper from our midst. “The mills
of the gods grind slow” but they
mete out justice in full measure,
Miss Laura Galt the little girl
who could sing but refused to be
made to sing “Marching Through
Georgia” was the toast at the Con
federate Veteran’s Reunion at Au
gtista. The Augusta camps have
decided to nominate her at the
next U. C V. reunion the succes-
sui ot Winnie Davis as the‘Daugh
ter of the Confederacy.’
Archeologists who have been
for several years searching for
Egyptian records and data have
recently discovered important pa-
pyre that has been buried since
the second century The majority
of the documents consist of a col
lection of the sayings of Christ.
They are all addressed to St. Thom
as and begin “Jesus saith;” but in
most cases the last words of the
line are effaced, fn addition to
these writings an epitome of Livy’s
six last books was discovered. It
is cla med that these documents
throw valuable light on the past
and future history of the world.
And now the City Council ot
Atlanta has plac-l tne buck-board
behind the receding tide of Atlan
ta’s depot proposition by refusing
to allow the Atlanta Terminal Co,
to those up Nelson street bridge
temporarily until the end of the
depot fronting Nelson street can
be completed, if is feared that
even after I he depot has been com
pleted, it wit! be unsafe.
It is no longer “How old is
Ann” but “How would you eut the
pie?” The problem that is agita
ting the public now is how in cut
up a pie which costs 14 cents at
wholesale into just enough five
cent pieces to give the pieman 20
per cent profit. We would like to
ask if the man who discovered
Ann’s age should also solve the
pie problem, would he be termed a
■ A Unitarian minister has pro-
