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 is as clear as noonday to my mind that the one thing the pro- Caldwell Motor Car Co. j The special line being carried Mr. Benjamin F.

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.
