lU perintendent Eiwards and
force of men have been busy
the past few days complet-
the White Way around the
t The eight lights were
,p]eted the latter part of last
h, and it is saying it only
when the statement is
tie that Bainbridge now has
0 f the most beautiful parks
any city of its size in the
iited States.
[policeman Barber has made a
ig gestion for one thing that
to be the only thing lack-
L to make the work perfect,
e suggestion is for an arm to
extended over the monument
,d to have a cluster of lights to
laminate both the monument
id fountain at nights. This
ould show both off to beautiful
•ect and it is hoped the sug-
istion will be carried out.
The Search Light joins with
any others in urging the city
thorities to begin arranging
ir a big day in celebration of
ie White Way; As has been
fore suggested, the big event
wuld include not only the White
ay, but the street paving, the
:hool building, the city hall and
the other splendid improve,
tents going on around Bain
ridge.
it is expected that the date
pill be fixed soon and it will be
nade one of the biggest days
ver seen in Bainbridge.
Some More Good Cane
Mr. W. R. Lambert, living out
n the Lime Sink road five miles
rom Bainbridge, brought to the
earch Light office Tuesday
orning two stalks of cane, one
if the green variety, the other
■ed, which shows up way above
he average for cane in this sec
ion at this season.
The stalk of green cane shows
5 joints, that of the red 21
oints. As cane continues to
cow till frost the samples
nought here would indicate that
Hr. Lambert will be hard to beat
in the cane business this year.
He says his other crops show up
correspondingly well.
It is a grati tying fact that most
farmers in the county are doing
their best to see just how much
can be produced on their lands.
In other words, th *y have gone
more into the intensive plan of
farming. This is the plan by
which all the farmers can make
clear money each year.

Major Dunwody was adjutant

“A PERFECT EAR OF CORN.”
How many have ever thought what constitutes a perfect ear
of corn? Probably no one is not actually engaged in agriculture,
or the study of it.
Bainbridge is to hold a “Boys and Girls Fair” next ’ Jonth for
Decatur county, and a number of prizes are offered thv gh the
City Federation—one of a ten days Scholarship in DomestW^Science
at the State Agricultural School at Athens, during January 1913,
to the girl making the best canning exhibit; one prize of $20.00 to
the school making the best exhibit; also a prize of $5.00 to the boy
growing the most perfect ear of com.
For the benefit of any boy competing for this last prize, the
Federation has secured from the State College of Agriculture, the
cut below, of two ears of corn. Ml
Mr. Campbell, State Agent of Bovs and Gjrj *Aibs, states that
these are not perfect ears of corn, but the;,r\i..fc'St *to perfect of
rny pictures he ceuld send at this time. He says: “Y^y will note
that the corn is well filled, the rows are close together, and the
com is well filled, the rows are close together, and corn is very
compact on the cob. The objection to the longer ear is that it ta
pers too much towards the end. The shorter ear is almost cylin
drical in size and shape from one end to the other. The objection
is that the rows do not run exactly straight.”
Killing at Hutchinson’s Ferry
Just before going to press,
news was received by the Search
Light of the killing last night of
Mr. Robert Cloud, woods rider
for Mr. J. F. Tolar. The killing
was at Hutchinson’s Ferry and
was done by a negro named
Yancy Knowles.
The particulars in short, so
far as can be learned are that
Deputy Sheriffs Lewis and Mar
tin had gone to the place to ar
rest another negro. On arriving
they found that the negro in
company with the other negro
Knowles, were away some dis
tance. The officers, in company
with Mr. Robert Cloud and Mr.
Fletcher Griffin, hid themselves
near the cabin to await their re
turn. The two negroes came in
later and sat down outside the
cabin. While sitting there the
officers and men heard them
plotting to kill Mr. Cloud, with
whom they had a difficulty yes
terday afternoon. They finished
talking their plot snd went into
the cabin, which the deputies
and men immediately surround
ed. Deputy Martin went in and
arrested the negro for whom
they had a warrant, and brought
him out. Deputy Lewis then
went in to arrest Knowles.
When he got inside and struck a
match Knowles sprang out at a
door, where Mr. Cloud Was stand
ing. The negro and Mr. Cloud
both fired at each other about
the same time Cloud’s shot
missed the negro but the negro’s
shot struck Cloud just about the
point of the shoulder and the
bullet ranged diagonally through
the body. Mr. Cloud staggered
around the corner of the cabin
tnd fell. He was dead in a few

First Cane to Search Light
Mr. J. C. Pollock, one of the-
successful farmers living 15 or 16
miles north of Bainbridge was in
the city Monday and brought to
the Search jLight office the first
stalks of cane the office has re

of the red variety and among the
finest seen here at this season of
the year. One of the stalks had
14 matured joints and all of good
length.
Mr. Pollock says he is not cul
tivating much land but what he
has in cultivation is doing splen

acres in cotton from which he
will gather three bales. His
other crops are all good accord
