Stovall, of Savannah, lose name will touch the hearty jponse of all loyal Georgains, the state press and the press of the south, as they all recognize his fitness and great work in the itate primary for his friend and ichool mate, Governor Woodrow Wilson. If Mr. Stovall’s loyal friends will ask it, Georgia will have a man in the cabinet that will not a peer, matters not who the other me nbers may be. Yours truly, J. M. Scott. The Search Light heartily en dorses every word said by Mr. Scott. Mr. Stovall is one of the Wrongest Democrats in the country and is numbered among the party’s strongest leaders in Georgia and the South. The editor of the Search Light ►is glad he stood side by side with Mr. Stovall in the Georgia primary fight for Governor Wilson when the name of that great man was being so bitterly assailed. It was easy for one to vote for Wilson Tuesday. He was the party’s nominee. But Mr. Stovall was just as loyal for him in the primary as he was in the generel election. Every Democrat in Georgia should second the nomination of Mr, Scott The Georgia Pie Counter. Now that the truly loyal have dented their derbies with tossing them in the air, now that the shouting is over and the bets paid, those valiant captains who helped carry the banner of Wood- row Wilson to victory are pausing today to consider the most mom entous question which Southern Democracy has faced in exactly twenty years: “What do I get?” There is a large and juicy Die to cut and distribute, even if the civil service rules did lock up the side dishes several terms ago. In Georgia alone the new admin istration has about 100 presiden tial postoffices, two district attor neyships, one job as Collector Of internal revenue, probably one district judgeship and several score of minor places to give those faithful ones who gave freely of time, gasoline and. ora tory to the cause. And the word has gone forth from Seagirt that in Georgia old fac tional lines are to be forgotten in cutting the melon, and that The Lyceum Course. Believing that there are a great many of the people of Bainbridge who wish a series of high class entertainments-sometbing that is instructive, entertaining, and elevating a series of four splen did Lyceum attractions have been looked for this season. It is now for the people of this city to show wheather they want some thing that is worth while or not. In this series of attractions there will be nothing that will shock the modesty of anyone. There will be none of the usual “stage profanity.” There will be no impressions made on young minds that should not be made. The four attractions engaged are among the best and costliest sent out by the Alkahest Bureau,. and the people of Bainbridge are assured that nothing better will come to the city this year. The course will consist as follows; The Chicago Ladies Orchestra. The Cambridge Dramatic Players. Charles. M.

Every Democrat and every true progressive, of whatever alliance must now lend his full force and enthusiasm to the fulfillment of the people’s hope, the establish ment of the people's right, so that justice and progress may go hand in hand.” This was Gov. Wilson's first utterance of a public character after his acceptance of the re port that he had been elected. Notice.
