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.

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. Every reactionary paper in the state is fighting him. Every whiskey paper in Geor gia is fighting him.

The Ehrlich drug Co. is bound to be one of the greatest business concerns of the South. They the county was organized, as I are now on the topmost round in 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 Stqulg hJ ruflm.

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.

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.
