Drinking Fountain Dedicated
The ceremonies Wednesday af
ternoon attending the dedication
of the sanitary drinking fountain
given.by the ftginbridge Woman’s
Club, were most interesting.
Judge W. M. Harrell, Mrs.
Max E. Nusebaum and Col. R.
G. Hartsfield were among those
who made talks. It was a fitting
tribute to Capt E. H. Smart,
who devoted the greater part of
his life to the service of Bain
bridge.
The Bainbridge Concert Band
furnished music for the occasion.
It is well enough to say just here
that Bainbridge is coming to the
front with one of the best bands
in the state. The music they
furnished Wednesday afternoon
was good proof of this.

Georgia politics.
He says all these forces are be
hind Slaton. And yet, Joe Hill
Hall says, and others, including
Hooper Alexander say, that
Slaton is trying to run a cam
paign of secrecy or silence; that?
he is trying to ignore the other
candidates. Joe Hill says that
Slaton has been trying to ignore
him all the time. The argument
they use is to effect that Slaton
is being backed by such an enor
mous amount of money furnish
ed by the various organized
“interests”, that he need not
notice any one else; that he is
perfectly safe, it makes no diffe
rence who else may enter the
field. That argument is heard
right here on the streets of Bain
bridge.
That argument is pretty
“catchy”. Unless the voter who
wishes to keep Georgia a prohi
bition state, thinks very seriously
this “bluff” will take him in
But let’s see.
Slaton’s strongest supporters will
admit that Slaton is not a prohi
bitionist. The question will resolve
itself into one of prohibition and
anti-prohibition. There will be a
pretty straight line-up of these
forces througgout the state.
There is no getting around it
If Joe Hill Hall is to be believed
the whiskey interest are sqaurely
behind Slaton’s candidacy. That
will force the prohibitionists to
line up for Hooper Alexander.
Alexander is the only prohibi
tionist in the race. He stands
for everything in Georgia advo
cated by the great body of pro
gressive Democrats. Of all the
great and strong men in Georgia
Alexander is the logical man for
Governor. The following reasons
will convince any progressive
Democrat and prohibitionist that
Alexander should be elected:
He is the only progressive
Democrat in the race
He is the only prohibitionist
in the race.

took an active part during the | this entire section of Georgia,
creation of this new county. I
can state, truthfully that the ef
fect of the creation of Grady
county in this section has been
wonderful and in many respects
has far exceeded our expectation
in the way of increased devel
opment.
Our tax values are nearly
double what we estimated at the
time the county was created.
Our population has increased
and the impetus put upon our
people in the way of progress
and renewed efforts in devel
oping our resources has been
very marked and this increased
development and rapid growth
has been largely caused by the
creation of the new county as
our people are much more enthu
siastic in making their best ef
forts than they were before the
county was created.
There is universal satisfac
tion among our people over the
fact that we have a new county
and the convenience to them is
very great indeed. The few
people in our county who were
opposed to the creation of the
new county are now much
pleased that, they were overruled.
We believe that it is certainly
good policy on the part of the'
State of Georgia to make these
new counties w he fever the te
ritory is sufficient to authorize
the same, as it results in more
rapid development and progress,
thereby,pf great benefit to

The Cotton Worm
The big papers have been say
ing for the past few days that
the cotton worm in its travels
from the west will be in Decatur
county in a few days, and for
the farmers to look out.
It is stated by some of the
farmers that the pests have al
ready appeared in several places.
They are said to be very destruc
tive, and farmers should use
every precaution against them.
The Bainbridge Drug Company
is making preparations to furnish
the means by which they can be
destroyed. Some of it is adver
tised in this issue.

Services at SL John’s Church
gan in earnest Monday. The
first brick was laid by Mayor J.
W. Caliahan, at the junccion of
Broad and Shotwell street*.
Mayor Callahan, not being an eft-
pert brick layer, was coached by
the men who have the work in
charge. The Mayor laid seven
short rows of brick. In the
midst of this small block is one
brick, on which is the name “J.
W. Callahan, Mayor 1912.’'
The laying of this brick marked
what is regarded the greatest
step in the foward march ever
made by the city.
The laying of the brick has
been steadily going on since. It
is remarkable how fast they can
be placed by the expert men who
handle them. It requires six
men to keep one of these expert*
in brick. These men can place
at least 25.000 brick in a day.
Some have been known to place
as many as 40,000 in one day. '
It will require about one mil
lion brick to do the paving work
in Bainbridge. This will repre
sent about 25,000 square yards.
The paving work is of the very
best that can be made of brick;'
so it claimed. The base is laid
with a four inch baseof concrete,
this being covered with two
inches of sand. The brick are
laid on this an brought to a level
with the steam roller. After
this all the joints are filled in
with cement mortar, which it is
claimed, will make the pavement
water proof.
Rapid headway is expeeted to
be made from now on until the
work is completed.
By the time and even before
the work is finished, the lights
