Federated Club Notes '
Mrs. J. E. Donalson,
Pres. Bainbridge F. W. C.
My Dear Mrs. Donalson:
Thru you as President of the
Federation of Woman’s Clubs of
this city I wish to express my
respect for and appreciation of
the efforts of that organization to
better the civic welfare. It is
probable that there will be times
when I would gladly enlist your
co-operation in the interest of
the children of the public schools.
Just at present I am anxious.for
a favorable outcome of tne bond
issue that the material conditions
may be so improved as to add
greatly to comfort, spirit, schol
arship and health.
Should my calling this import
ant matter to your attention in
duce you to aid the Board of Lady
Visitors for the school in its ef
forts to secure these values I
shall be very glad and apprecia
tive.
Very sincerely,
J. F. Thomason.
At a meeting of the Bain
bridge Woman’s Club on Wed
nesday, October 3rd, a motion
was made and carried that the
following recommendation be of
fered the Bainbridge Federation:
In consideration of the vita^
question to be voted upon by our
citizens on October 28th, the
voting of the city bonds for a
new school building, it would be
well for every woman to interest
herself in this important matter,
and bring to bear* her individual
influence upon the men, not only
of her immediate family, but up
on every voter that she knows.
If the issue is to be a close one,
it is further recommended, that
the Federation adopt such
measures as may see..i .aost ex
pedient to bring about the pass
ing of these bonds, thereby se
curing a new school building and
putting our children in line for
better educational advantages.
Frances PoIpe Barney,
Chairman of Education.

Regretted.
(fty a Member).
That Rev. C. T. Clark should
have been removed is very much
regretted, both by his members
and numbers of admirers who
are not in % his flock. The splen
did manner in which the business
of. the Conference was conduct! a
and the ability displayed by Mr.
Clark, reflected great credit on
Bainbridge. A favorable -and
lasting impression was made on
the visiting Pastors, and we
appredbjte the energy of Mr.
Cifurk, for his chprchand his city
He i* a very lovable man, and
our daily contact with him is an
inspiration to us. When he
leave* us and enters upon his new
field, we will miss the hearty
hand-shake and pleasant greet
ing that always awaited us- Mr.
Clark is a man of convictions, he
alway* takes n firm stana v on the
moral side of questions. Hisles
sons from the pulpit are deliv
ered in an impressive end force-
1 ful manner..
Having had the South* Georgia
Conference with us, gives us an
opportunity to better realize and
determine that we have had a
Pastor who would do full credit
to the largest charge in the Con
ference. Now that we are to
lose him, we express our deep
regret. We shall miss him as
Pastor t Friend, Citizen, and from
every standpoint that a God fear
ing, Christian gentleman should
be missed.
Council Proceedings
At the regular meeting of the
Mayor and Counoil Monday night
a recess was taken until Tuesday
night, when the body met again
and trnsacted some very import
ant business.
Those present when the meet
ing first opened were Counciinien
Callahan, Baggs, Jaing, and
Nussbaum. Mayor Jno, E. Toole
came in later. Duing the
Mryor,s absenpe however, Mayor
Pro Tern Callahan occupied the
chair.
Gne of the interesting works
of the body was the fixing of
licenses for near beer places for
1912. There developed a consid
erable difference of opinion in re
gard to this, Messrs. Callahan
and Baggs favoring a higher
license, the others favoring , low
Tiie Election In Decatur.
Pope Brown carried Decatpr
county yesterday, by a small
margin, only 35 votes being to
credit over the next nearest
man, Joseph M. Brown. Only
876 votes were cast in th j coun
ty, Pope receiving 356, Joe
Brown 821 and Dick Russell 199.
Three districts did not hold
any election. These were Bells,
Fowltown and Kendrick. The
yote by districts was as follows:

to be q serious one in Bainbridge.

and the votes of Messrs. Laing.
and Nussbaum carried Mr.
Laing’s resolution so that the
license for selling near beer,
wholesale and retail, in Bain
bridge, will be two hundred dol
lars for 1912. Eight place made
application for the privilege td
sell near beer, including one
wholesale house. These were all
granted.
Another interesting matter was
the fixing of the pay for the
Mayor and Aldermen for another
year. Besides a smalLsalary the
Mayor has heretofotV been re
ceiving a fee from fines, arrests,
etc., which has amounted to a
considerable sum. It is under
stood the entire sum last year
amounted to more than $1,500,
It will probably amount to more
than this next year. It is thought
that this amount is more than the
Mayor of Bainbridge should re
ceive, and besides, there is con
siderable opposition to the fee
system in any form. After some
discussion the salary for the
Mayor was fixed at $600 for the
year and the Aldermen. to re
ceive $4.00 per month. Ihe sal
aries of the other officials will be
arranged by the new Council at
