OFFICIAL ORGAN
DEOATUR OOUNTY
AND BAIN BRIDGE,
Baisbridfe, Ga., Fecruary 5. 1904.
A MATTER OF IMPORTANCE.
The River and Harbors Com
mittee of Congress in sympathy
with the policy of the Administra
tion, have announced that no ap
propriation bill for improvement
of rivers and harbors will be allow-
ed to pass through the committee
this session; which of course has
aroused the righteous indignation
of those representatives who had
hoped for appropriations for this
purpose.
Locally of course this shuts off
any effort our immediate represen
tative in congress might have in
tended making for appropriations
for improving navigation on Flint
and Chattahoochee rivers.
The South Georgia Progress,
Thomasville’s weekly paper, has
ceased to exist as an independant
paper and has been ceded to the
Times Enterprise. It will still be
issued by the latter paper as its
weekly adjunct. Editor Blanton
has transferred his affections along
with his paper and will in future
occupy an editorial position on the
staff of the Times Enterprise.
The term of Minnie Cox, the
negro postmaster of Indianola
Miss., has expired and she refused
to accept re-appointment. Roose
velt appointed W. B. Martin one
of her bondsmen to succeed Min
nie Cox. The question is which
is the leaser evil, the negro post
master or a white official who
stood bond for the negro.
Mrs. Maybrick the American
who has been serving a life sen
tence in an English prison for
poisoning her husband has been
released on special license. Her
case has caused much comment
for some years and many efforts
have been made to secure her free
dom.
That Chicago coroner's jury
which inquired into the Iriquois
Theater fire, were rabid radicals in
politics, at least. The language
of their attack on Mayor Harrison
would indicate as much.
The funeral of Whittaker
Wright the millionaire suicide was
quite an event in England. The
grave was literally covered with
beautiful flowers, the gift of En
glish women.
Macon at last has Atlanta “in
the swing.” A basket ball team
from the Central City has sue
ceeded in defeating a similar team
from the village of Atlanta.
Mrs. Maybrick free, Bass Fra
zier discovered, the next thing on
the program will be the resurrec
tion ot Will Myers and Charley
Ross.

Just Like His Father.
A school teacher has received
the following note from the moth
er of one ot her pupils:
Dear Miss—You writ me about
whipping Sammy. I herby give

time it is necessary to learn him
lesens. He is juste like his father:
you have to learn him with a club.
Found nolege into him. I wante

Great excitement was caused
last week by the failure of A. B.
Baxter cotton brokers. The firm
has 138 branch offices and the as
signment will probably involve
over ^3,000,000. The suddenrise
in cotton is said to be the cause
of the failure.

Congress should turn its atten
tion to preserving the safety of
the country—the national honor
is gone.
Congress has redeemed itself by
the passage of a pure food bill by
a vote ot 201 to 68. The interes
ting feature of the matter is that
269 members were in the House
at one roll call.
Last Friday was the anniversa
ry of the birth of the late Pres.
McKinley, and in honor of the day
all the members of the House in
Washington wore a red carnation,
the favorite flower of Mr. Mc
Kinley.
Willie Hearst has at least con

—that if selected as their standard

riest chases for the White house
that the country has witnessed in
years.
