AND bainbridge.
Bainbridge. Ga., May 13, 1904.
Mon. H. H. Cabaniss has retired
from the race against Clark Howell
as membero f the National Demo
cratic Executive Committee.
President Pollock has returned
to his position at Mercer Univer
sity after having been absent some
time on account of his health.
If the scenery was as fine as the
railroad folders and the exposition
as pretty as the chromos, we would
tlnnk we were going to heaven in
stead of St. Louis, says the Times
Entei prise.
The Brunswick Journal has a
long editorial on “Sincerity.” The
htilliant young editor must have
been up against an early case of
summer girl.—Times-EnterpHse.
And then again it .might be
only a case of "Brunswick (polit
ical) stew."
]n tl.ese days of political wows
and pow wows, there bobs up se
renely the “Hearsties’’ and the
“ficeties," the Parkerites and the
“blatherskites,” the “Gormandiz
ers” and the early risers. You
can pay your money and take your
choice.
On May 5th C. J. Austin of
Tifton, shipped the first, peaches
of the season from Georgia. Ten
crates of Snead variety were ship,
ped to an Atlanta firm. Last year
Mr. Austin shipped the first
peaches on May 13th and the year
before on May 2nd.
Col. VV. T. Revill, the veteran
editor of the Meriwether Vindica
tor, died Monday after a short il'
ness with pneumonia. Col. Revill
was recently elected to legislature
from Meriwether county. He was
universally popular and his death
will be regretted throughout the
state.
There is always some one ready
to bring fortune out of misfortune.
Some one has figured out that the
boll weevil has been a great bless
ing to the cotton raisers, in spite
of its ravages. We guess it would
be a hard undertaking to convince
the Texans of this.
Appropriation; to the institu
tions ni higher learning in the
state may be all right, but more
attention should be given to the
prompt payment of the common
school teachers of the state. It is
unjust that men and women who
earn then money, have to dis
count their papers,or svpit twelve
months to receive their pay.

Marshal Barnes Removed.
The news that United States
Marshal John M. Barnes has been
removed by President Roosevelt,
from his position which he has
filled for the past seven years, has
created much comment through
out the state this week.

Mgr and Chas. B. Meyers of New a ]j g enera i i D foimatiori address,
York. Mr. Hatch the Secretary IT, J. Bottoms, T P A Thomasville,
entire seven years,) there has been
trouble between the United States
Marshal and Jucfge Emory Speer,
and the trouble culminated at the
recent session of U. S. court held
at Valdosta, when Mr. Barnes
openly denounced Judge Speer. It
will be remembered that this court
was adjourned, because of the sud
den illness of Judge Speer. Since
then no court has been held.
Judge Speer, District Attorney
Ackerman, and Hon. Marion Er
win recently paid a visit to Wash
ington. and as a result, Marshal
Barnes, was removed. Mr. Barnes
says that he was removed without
reason or explanation.
The office of U, S. marshal is
filled by the appointment of the
president and covers a term of
four years; the president having
the privilege of removing or chang
ing the appointment at his pleas
ure. Mr: Barnes was appointed to
the office seven years ago by Mc
Kinley, was reappointed to the
office a second time during that
administration and when Roose
velt became president was appoint
ed a third time. He filled the po
sition satisfactorily and during his
term of office made many friends
who regret that he has been re
moved. Although no one has yet
been appointed to succeed Mr.
Barnes it is probable that Mr.
Mack Corbett will be given the
position.
Col. W. J. Neel.
A recent personal letter receiv-
e 1 by the editor of this paper from
Col. Neel, who it will be remem
bered recently spent some time in
this city prospecting with a view
to locating, will he interesting to
the citizens at large. It only im
presses a fact of which we have
been aware for some time, that
and Treasurer of the Georgia Pinej Ga. ■
W. II. Leahy, DBA Savannah, Ga.
stated to a “Times” representative
that his company had bought the
C. T. &. G. and would probably
take charge on or about the first
of June but that no details had
been perfected yet and it was im
possible to say just what would he
done or when they would take
charge.
He stated that the present
schedule would be changed so as
to avoid any lay-over in Tallahas
see and that a through train would
be run t> Atlanta and possibly
later on a sleeper. The new com
pany is desirous of doing all in its
power towards benefitting the
shippers and passengers of this
section and Mr Hatch says they
will do so. The time of the gen
tlemen was very limited as they
returned at four o’clock but they
say that they will return and spend
more time looking into the interest
of the road and our people, Capt.
Mohr met the steamer with his
cirriageand drove Mr. Williams
around the city. We are sorry to
part with the old officials of the C
T. & G. yet it is better for Apal
achicola that the change has been
made as the new management has
more facilities and a better oppor
tunity to do good for our city than
the old and we trust that at an
early date Apalachicola will be the
termii^d ol the consolidated roads.
Mr. Oliver will, probably remain
agent at this place.—Apalacnicola

Georgia. The following is an ex
tract from Col. Neel’s letter:
“My present purpose is to be
come a citizen of Bainbridge about
the first of next January. The first
impressions received by me' have
been confirmed by subsequent ex
perience and investigation, and I
am confident my health will be
materially benefitted by moving to
vour city. The soft winter climate
is very attractive to me, and 1
found that the artesian water was
just the thing I needed. The bus
iness conditions and prospects of
Bainbridge and Decatur- county
impressed me most favorably, and
1 have no doubt tne future holds
j great prosperity for that section.
“Another thing that appeals
| very strongly to me in considering

the cordiality of your people. I
