SEARCH UGHT. S. RUSSELL BRINSON. 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- i posed to put painlessly to death 1 all persons with incurable diseases or injuries, contending that it ; would be an advantage to society 'as well as to the sufferer If the sufferer in question were consul ted he would probably prefer a living rather than a painless death, i The idea is startling to say the ; least and smacks strongly of whole- i sale murder. As the originator pf the thought is evidently incurably ! insane he would be quite eligible ! and appropriate for a test case. j Hon. Judson M. Strickland a • prominent lawyer of Griffin has announced his intention of becom ing a candidate for the ofHce of prison commissioner to succeed Joseph S. Turner. Mr. Strickland j has a number of friends through. 1 out the state. He states that if ; elected he will give his whole at- ! tention to his duties as a commis- k pianist.
