BAINBRIDGE, GA., SEP,20, 1912.
It is now predicted that Geor
gia will fall short in the cotton
crop to the amount of several
hundred thousand bales.
Don’t fail to send a dollar to
Hon. L. F. Patterson to help
swell the democratic campaign
fund. It is badly needed. It
will require lots of money to cap
ture and cage the bull moose.
Governor Wilson and Mr.
Roosevelt are both making a
swing around in the northwest
and West. Great crowds are
flocking to hear them and it be
comes more evident each day
that the real fight for the presi
dency will be between these two.
It looks now as if Taft is going
to be lost in the shuffle.
Don’t forget that the Second
of October is election day for
State house officers in Georgia.
There are a number of constitu
tional amendments to be sub
mitted to the people. Every
voter should study these care
fully, as there are some very
important questions involved
in these proposed changes.
The pull of the Search Light
for a bond issue to grade the
county’s roads is meeting with
much favorable comment. It is
believed by many that the plan
will assume definite shape and
will be carried through. It would
be a great saving to the county
beside getting all the roads grad
ed in less than half the time un
der the present system.
to receive campaign funds, i Supreme Circle in Bainbridge.
Hon. L F. Patterson, of Bain-1 The g e Circle of the 0r .
has been appointed to L of of Amerlca ,
bridg
receive contributions to the na
tional democratic campaign fu
for this county. He wi^J be;
at once to solicit contnDution
from those who will cont#)ute.
It is desired that all democrats
have a hand in electing the Pres
ident thfs year, and each voter
will be asked to contribute as
much as one dollar to the fund.
It requires a vast sum of mon
ey to conduct a presidential cam
paign in the United States. The
democratic nominee, Gov. Wii-
■ >n, does not want contributions
from great corporation. He pre
fers that the common people
shall take hold of the campaign
and finance it as well as assume
other powers that belong to them.
One dollar from each democrat
in Georgia will mean a snug sum
from this state. You can give
more if you wish, but it is desired
that the amount be raised by the
great common people of the coun
try.
It is believed among the lead
ers of the party that Mr. Roose
velt is the man Gov. Wilson will
have to beat. Mr. Roosevelt has
a mighty strong financial back
ing and it will require the united
efforts of the rank and file of the
democratic party to meet them
on the field with sufficient money
to conduct the campaign as it
should be.
Mr. Patterson will gladly re
ceive any sum, let it be one dol
lar, five or ten dollars. The
Search Light will publish the
name with the amount of each
contributor. Let the dollars roll
in.

SOCIAL LIFE FOR FARMERS.
Gov. Wilson, the Democratic
candidate for President, in an
address to the farmers, called
attention to the neglect of. the
school houses. He set forth the
necessity for conference and
consultation among farmers. He
said that the place for the con
ference was the school house,
unoccupied a greater part of the
time. The substance of this ad
dress is published elsewhere in
Home and Farm, because we
believe it especially applicable to
farm life and farming conditions
throughout the South and West
Better farming, better busi
ness, better living—this is what
we should all be striving for,
and they can be accomplished,
not by individual effort alone,
but by co-operative effort, by
joining forces with neighbors
and friends, by consulting, by
conferring, by comparing your
own experiences with the exper
iences of others.
There is another thing to be
said in regard to the local gath
erings of farmers: they supply
what the whole farm family
needs—occasions for social inter
course, for friendly meetings
purely for pleasure. It is not
important whether these be held
at ni^it or in the afternoon: but
it is important that they be held,
and at the time and place which
will bring together the greatest
number of farmers and families
of farmers. “Rest,” says a
peet-phrtosopher, "is not ih quit
ting the biasy career: rest is hut-
fitting oneself to one’s sphere.”
That is what the farmer has
to do. He must fit himself for
the work he has undertaken. It
is possible for the farmer to live
under the happiest auspices of
any man in the world, to work
under conditions the most at-
ir. ctive. He has been working
ui der hardships that only the 1
f longest survive. Let all farm-
• r* everywhere consider what
to reach here in time for the first
session. If names of delegates
have not already been sent in,
please send them at once to Mrs.
C. S. Hodges.
Churches where no organiza
tion exists are earnesHy request
ed to send one or twcPdelegates.
Delegates will be met at all
trains. Dinner will be served
on the ground Saturday, the 28th.
Nearby country churches are
especially invited and urged to
be with us. •*
Yours in the Work,
Mrs. C. S. llodges,
Supt. W. M. U. Work.
Negro Killed S^rday Night.
Tom Dennard, a aegro, was
killed by another negro named
Tom Weston, near Iron City,
Saturday night. The report is
that Weston was handed the pis
tol with which he did the shoot
ing, by Sam Brown, who was
trying to shoot Dennard, but was
being held by others.
Brown and Weston both got
away from the scene but Brown
was captured at Donalsonville
and W’eston at Thomasville. They
will both probably have to an
swer to the charge of murder a
the next term of the Superio:
court.

Swicord School Won Prizes.
The cash prize offered by Mrs.
John W. Callahan, superintend
ent of Scientific Temperance In
struction of the Bainbridge W.
C. T. U., through the teachers of
Decatur county while here in In
stitute last Decomber, for the
three best scientific temperance
essays from the county schools,
has only recently been awarded.
The delay was caused by the fail
ure of essays not being sent in
promptly.
The judges were Mrs. Walter
Anthony, Mrs. W. M. Harrell
and Mr. W. 0. Fleming.
The Swicord School, near Cli
max, Miss Mary Jeter, teacher,
wen the three prizes.
Miss Lilia Worn won the 8th
grade prize of $5.00, the subject
being "The Value of Total Ab
stinence to a Life.”
Isola Swicord of the 6th grade,
$2.50; and Julia Worn of the 4th
grade $2.50, the subject of the
two last being "The Harm in
Glass of Beer.”
Miss Mary Jeter is especially
to be commended for the consci
untious and efficient way in which
she has fulfilled the spirit and
the letter of the Georgia law
which says that “The nature of
alcoholic drinks, and special in
struction as to their effects upon
the human system” shall be
taught to “all pupils in any and
all the schools.”
While state school commission
er, Mr. Pound in a public ad
dress in this city, said "The
State of Georgia is not so much
interested in whether the chil
dren are taught to read and
write as she is interested in
whether they are trained to good
and efficient citizenship.”
A sacred trust is given the
teachers of today. All lines of
business are in a sense depend
ent upon their fidelity to this
trust. Froesel says “The edu
cational calling should be a priest
ly calling.”
