__tor the Georgian:
Judge W. R- Hammond’s and
John EL. White’s letters on
gubernatorial campaign in
eorgia are simply amazing, and
fact that several former pro-
bition leaders agree with them,
id some anti-prohibjtion dailies,
ily causes the plot to thicken..
Who said our wholesale prohi-
tion law can not be enforced
mply because it is a “legisla-
fiat?” And who said that
vote of the people will settle

BAINBRIDGE. DECATUR COUNTY. GEORGIA, FRIDAY. DECEMBER 1, 1911

F.
i can not be enforced.
That disloyal, law-breaking
ry was started by anti-prohibi-
ion papers which fough the en-
ctment of our statewide prohi-
ition law—papers that have ad-
ertised in their columns the
devilish liquor whose importation
nto Georgia has contributed
argely to the defiance of our
aws, the subversion, of peace,
nd the debauching of our poli-
:s.
And these same papers, mark
m (let the people of Georgia
member this), these very dame
iapers proposed the compromis
ing platform of submitting to
the people” a law already en-
icted, and which needs only the
loyalty of good men to make it
iffective.
NOT “SECEDERS,” BUT FIGHTERS
Dr. John E. White, speaking
i behalf of the platform of his
misguided member,” says: “It

mind that the one thing the pro-

Caps, Ladies’ Sweaters, Automo- i with interesting and impressive
bile Robes and Gloves, is attract- j Masonic form in Greenwood cem-
ing wide attention because of elery the following Sunday after-
the excellent quality of the noon.
His illness was long and try
ing, through which he exempli
fied the affection of a husband,
the considerate regard of neigh
bor and interest in home and
other affairs.
Mr. Wilkinson was a typical
personality in that great throng,
-whose sterling industry, straight
business habits and plain com
mon sense make the country
strong and give security and en
joyment to the community.
He leaves a wife and one boy,
Andre J. Wilkinson, on whose
-young,shoulders must now rest
the management Of the fqrm and
the care of a mother.
These two bereaved ones wish
to offer through the good offices
of the Search Light, their sin
cere grattitude to their many
friends and neighbors for the un
tiring kindnesses and help . ex
tended to them for eight long,
weary weeks of watching and
suffering.
It is the finest line of
these goods ever seen in Bain-
bridge.
Mr. Caldwell has made a repu
tation for handling only the best
and in the lines mentioned no
finer quality can be had any
where. Another feature is that
the prices on these goods are as
low as the same quality can be
had in New York. *
. Such a firm as this should be
e cry that legislative^ prohibi- j a pp rec j a ted by the people
throughout this whole territory,
as it obviates the necessity of
sending away to other places
when the very best and finest
quality of goods are wanted.
To say the same thing in an
other way; when you want the
best and finest of anything,
come to Bainbridge, and when
you are looking for the best that
is carried in the lines mentioned
above, go to Caldwell Motor Car
Co., and you are sure to find it
Humphrey-Steadam.
At 11 o’clock at the heme of
the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. T. Humphrey, on Sunday,
Nov. 19th, Mr. J. Edgar Stead-
am and Miss Sadie Mae Hum
phrey, wore united in the holy
bonds of matrimony. Revs. C.
C. Boland and Edd Johnson, of
ficiating.
Mr. Steadam is a prosperous
farmer living near Arlington,
while his bride was one of the
fair maidens of Union Chapel
neighborhood.
A real enjoyable feature of the
wedding was a dslicious dinner.
Good things were in abundance.
The happy couple left at 1:30
o’clock for their future home 7
miles from Arlington.
’ Their many friends wish them
a long and happy life.
Clieit Hardware Co.
TheCliett Hardware Co., are
well pleased with the outlook for
business. They of course judge
the future by what they have
been doing. This firm lias made
a remarkable record in sales the
past year. Especially is this
true in agricultural inpliments.
They handle the Deering Hne for-
the International Harvester Co.,
and have sold more mowing ma-
chints and binders than any
.other agency in the Jacksonville
hibition cause needs more than territory
anything else in Georgia is the
clear-cut submission of the mat
ter to the people of Georgia. ’ ’
I answer: It is as clear as
noonday to my mind that the one
thing the prohibition cause in
Georgia needs morei than any
thing else is the united support
of all prohibitionists, to say noth
ing of other good citizens—and
not the secession of erstwhile
leaders who walk in somnambu
listic blindness into the trap set
for them by the forces that have
always fought prohibition in
Georgia. •
Just think of the picture. The
anti-prohibitionists knew that
with the present legislature pass
ing the Tippins bill at its next
term both the whiskey and beer
forces would be down and out.
Next would go the locker clubs,
and “Ichabod” would be written
over the habitat of John Barley
corn. And in their desperation
these same liquor forces who
have always fought submission
when the effort was being made
to get rid of saloons, now rise up
in a prohibition state where the
law could be perfected by one
stroke of the pen, and call for
to ■ "Democratic idea of submit
ting it to the people.”
In their main line is carried
Builders’ Hardware, Cement &c.
In the agricultural line is carried
the well known Oliver Plow and
B. F. Avery & Son’s Pluto Disc
Plow, Grain Drills, Stalk Cut
ters &c.
In their general line is carried
Stoves, Woodenware, Tinware
and the famous line of Keen Kut-
ter tools.
In their special line is to be
found the Remington and L. C.
Smith’s Shotguns and U. M. C.
and Winchester Shells. In fact,
you can find almost anything
you want in the hardware line at
Cliett Hardware Go’s arid at
prices as low as the lowest.
High Class Entertainers.
Seldom does it occur' that
amusement loving public of a
city the size of Bainbridge have
an opportunity of witnessing at
home such high-class entertain
ers as are the people composing
the Starnes Stock Company
which is to open in this city for
one week, commencing Monday, I
Dec. 4. This company is beyond i
all doubt the best show travel- j
ing the South today and they are i

Burroughs Escaped From Gang
Tom Burroughs, a young white
man who has had various couri
experiences in Decatur county,
and who was serving a term in
the county gang, escaped from
the guards Tuesday morning and
up to this writing has not been
overtaken, although efforts are
being made to apprehend him.
It seepis that Burroughs had
been sent with an axe to cut the
limbs from the top of a tree and
while performing this task he
used the axe for the purpose of
trimming the shakles from his
ankles.
Burroughs is one of the “slick
est” of the kind ever known
around Bainbridge. He has
been in the toils a number of
times, most of the time manag
ing somehow to escape.
