^‘aud reflected great
•olice
The many edibles and dainties
that graced this superb dinner
were helped to their destination by
a small river ot Mumms Extra Dry
with creeks of other drinkables,
As the wine flowed tne spirits of
the party rose somewhat above
normal, and toasts and eloquence
followed. Judge Spence started
the ball rolling by offering a toast
to the new and the old administra
tions and to the city of Bainbridge
which was responded to by “The
Man About Town.” Other toasts
and sentiments were offered and
drank to, bringing out responses
from Judge Spence, ex Mayor
Hines, Aldermen Gurley, Wimber
ly, Patterson, Chason, Harrell and
ex Mayor Toole. The affair was
one of the pleasantest we ever at
tended and will linger long in our
memory. '
And the new administration is in
the saddle for better or worse, to
be cussed or commended. Much
is expected of it and we believe
the public will not be disappointed.
Mayor Willis has been at the
head of the government two terms
before and the people are acquain
ted with bis ability and methods.
That he will give the city good
and efficient service isnt a matter of
doubt in any particular. He is
honest and fearless, and he willl
size up with the best.
Now let every citizen ot this
town who has its interests at heart
give to the new government his
best encouragement. Bainbridge
must not halt on the road to prog
ress and prosperity. With all of
us pulling together for the com
mon weal there will be no such
word as failure in our vocabula
ry.
“Cotton is King!” This is a
pungent proverb as true today as
when it was first uttered, when the
South was the richest section of
this terrestrial globe. It is still the
king of all the earths productions.
No other section of the world can
compete with the South in the
growing of the finest cotton. Dur
ing the civil war when her ports
were blockaded and the industry
was almost extinguished other
countries tried their hand in
growing cotton and supplying the
demand for the staple. Egypt,
India, South America and the
Islands of the Sea were placed un
der contribution, but all signally
failed to supply the demand of
mankind. Now, since the South
manuafetures more cotton goods
than New England; now that cot
ton factories are springing up by
the score in every Southern state;
now that the manufacturers are
moving to the cotton fields; now
that the demand for cotton goods
was never greater in the world s
history and constantly increasing
—the prices of the staple is nat
urally rising higher and higher so
that today the Southern farmer is
assured that the price of this sta
ple will never again be too low
for him to receive a fair profit for
his labor and his toil.
No matter how much he raises
he may never fear the bugaboo of
over production. Such a thing just
cannot be done in this age of the
world’s progress. If every availa
ble acre of land in the South were
planted in cotton the market could
not be overstocked, for the com
bined nations of earth are looking
towards this God favored section
for their cotton supply, for the raa
terial with which to clothe their
teeming millions. We have no
suggestion to offer to our farmers
on this line, we only »tate the
naked truth for their considera-
tion. ... . .
Cotton is king, and will be to
the crack of doom.
