The Ekctiou Wednesday.
In the general state election
Wednesday there were 305 votes
polled in Decatur county. Three
hundred of these were Democratic
votes and five were Socialists.
Bainbridge polled 127 of the to
tal vote of the county.
Of course all the nominees
were elected. All the amend
ments were carried through,
This seems to be true throughout
the state. There were some ob
jections to one or two of the
amendments in places, but the
opposition did not amount to
enough to make it close for any
of them.
An election was held in Bain
bridge at the same time for trus-
treesfor the Bainbridge Public
Schools. In this election 79 votes
were cast, resulting in the fol
lowing gentlemen being chosen:
For the two-year term—E. J.
Willis, Dr. Gordon Ghason, G.
B Toole. For the one-year term
—W. V. Custer, W. J. Holder,
All these are most excellent
gentlemen and will no doubt
make a fine showing in the di
recting of the affairs of the city’s
schools. It is harJ to conceive
of a more responsible position,
and just at this juncture, when
the superintendent and faculty, 1
as well as others are making an
effort to bring the High School
feature to the front, the work of
the Board of Trustees 4>ill be
especially valuable. v
By another year Bainbridge
can advertise to the outside that
she is prepared to care for a
large number of students in the
High School department. The
location of Bainbridge should
make it one of the greatest edu
cational points in south Georgia.

Death of Mr. Napier.
Mr. J. W. Napier returned
Friday from South Carolina,
where he went to bury his fath
er, Mr. J. E. Napier, who died
at his son’s home at Climax.
The body was interred in the
cemetery at Bethlehem church in
Marlboro county South Carolina.
Mr. Napiar was 71 years of
age at the time of his death.
He was a Confederate Veteran

Among the delegates from
Bainbridge and Decatur county
