OKKIL'IAJ. LUKIAN OK TUB <T1'V OK BA1NHKIIKIK ANI) DKCATtiK COUNTY. Telephone No. 239 If you are real anxious to make a fellow mad, tell him the truth. Never saw one yet that could face it without yelling. A womans mother can and often does make a hard bed for another woman’s son to lie on. Most of them keep on lying. The boys of Decatur county are taking interest in the corn and pig proposition and they have it in their hands to knock Mr. Boll Weevil into the head. If you dont believe that the Bainbridge ladies and girls have real histrionic talent you should have been out to the Story Book Land attraction Friday night. The Post-Search Light has bought some newjjob presses and will take care of all work that is offered it and do it promptly. Let us make you prices when you are in need of anything. Mr. Advertiser, we want your business but we cant give you the same rate in a paper with three thousand subscribers that you got in one with l()i>0. Please keep the difference in mind. Did you ever know why some folks dont like you? Well you just wont do as they want you to do. Let them run your affairs as they wnnt to and they will like you for a fewjjdays and then despise you. Well there is about as many folks that think they know how to run a newspaper as there is that know just exactly how to iun the government. Did you ever take any notice of that. Is’nt it funny that the woman with that “perfectly angel child’’ can find so blamed many things wrong that kid’s sire? The kid may be perfection but the old man is something awful. The boys are lining up now to come under the wire. There will be some to win and some to loose in this county campaign. Is’nt it a pity that all of them cant win. The whole bunch are good fellows. Have you reserved your space i i the Bainbridge Booster Edi tion. It is only a few days now until it will be published and vou wnnt to get in on it. Let us call and explain what it means to everybody. The town council has bought a lire truck, cneof the latest and most up-to-date kind. Hope it will run into some ot the auto s >eeders that- start under full speed the minute they hear the alarm ring. Some day when the fir • alarm rings we are going to hive an nwfnl accident. Watch the prediction. When the machinery of the Democratic party runs the party to the good of the members of it and not curry favors with dis gruntled elements, then the party will exercise that power which belongs to it. The way of the transgressor is hard. See where a fellow went to poison his neighbor’s chickens and got his own pointer pup. The guy that gets too lavish with his poison is liable to run into some himself. Georgia had a few more troub les this and last year along mob lines than she deserved or rel ished but at the same time she made more material progress than any other southern state. The short skirt situation has releived the women of taking any unnecessary exertions now when a rat gets in the room. They used to yell and jump on a chair or table, but the rat now looks and falls dead. Necessity is the mother of invention. This will be a splendid state to live in when the politicians tell the truth, the woman quit frilling and the teachers get their pay promptly, the men quit —well, you can’t stop them from lying. Soon will be the time for some of the athletic events of the county schools to be pulled off. We will look for some pretty stiff competition between the county boys when this time conies. The boys and girls are taking great interest in this work. Dont you get tired of the spring poet holding forth on the joys of the country boy down on the farm. The poor boy has nothing to do between the hours of ten at night and 4 the next morning. What a world of lei sure the country boy has. What, does he do with all of it? We would like to know the names of the bunch that told the Attorney General that Watson could not get a fair trial in Geor gia. All we got to say is that it Tom cant get a fair one he will take one so what is the difference. If your neighbor’s dog annoys you, tell him so and give him a chance to keep him from being a bother to you. Dont poison him or feed him glass as some have done recently here. Dont slip around under the cover of night and poison him because that looks like a very mean way to act. Did you eves see such a mess? The Thomasville Times-Enter- prise refers to an anteluvian an- tiflagistinated an i m a)cu 1 at- ed paragrapher. If the Alphabet had held out that fellow would have “cussed” him plum out. A man must be mad to man-handle the English language in any such brutal way. If the charge of the Grady County Executive Committee be true, that the boys over there are traflicing with their votes we wonder what will become of our old friend Barber, the Represen tative. He spent all he had last summer in Atlanta and cant in dulge m much of that luxury so feared by their county chairman. If the statecommitte will send delegates to the St. Louis Con vention pledged to Wilson and save the state the trouble and expense of a primary they will do us all a favor. Georgia is be hind the administration and there is no need for the committee to take up any time about the matter. Ordinarily this might not be a wise precedent, but Deniocr.itieall/ sneaking it is political economy just at this time. The way that some of the folks are coming into the told and becoming readers of the Post-Search Light is indeed grat ifying to the paper. We are doing our best to give you the money’s worth. Several hundred new readers have been put on in the last month and you will see results of this encouragement in the improvement of the paper. Most of the members of the present house of representatives it seems from the reports will stand for re-election. Their ac tion on some of the most import ant matters meeting the approv al of the people in the main. The weeklies from the different counties they represent standing by them judging from their edi torial utterances. We did not know anything about Judge Brandeis. We did not know whether we were for or “agin” him until we found Wall street fighting his confir mation ana now “bejabers” we are with him teeth and toe-nail. That fellow Wilson is a wise man in his appointments. He never suits Wall street or Teddy Roose velt in anything that he does. Mr. Auto Owner it is about time that you bought that tag. The new law is very binding on the Sheriff and if you fail to attend to it you will naturally bring on yourself an unpleasant situation. You know the law, you know that the officer has no authority show you any special favors and you ought to attend to it and not try to abuse somebody later on because you are careless and get your hook hung. It will save vou embarassment to look after it NOW. They have passed a law in Tenneessee that a woman can’t wear a dress more than four inches above the ground nor ex pose more than three inches of her neck. That is a good law. We never did have any idea of moving to Tennessee and we know that now we never will. Don’t like the state anyway but j might have made a mistake and stumbled there on a visit, Let the ladies dress as they want. The Chairman of the Grady Democratic Executive Commit tee has a long and interesting explanation of the law against vote selling and from the full ness of that explanation any one would infer that the boys over there were selling their vote, That guy ought to be ashamed of himself to cast any such in sinuation. It is a reflection on this great American Republic for a man to accuse the citizens of selling his vote. A terrible ac cusation. How much do they pay for them over there anyway Bill. Well Garrison quit. He could not have it exactly as he wanted it and he threw up the job, de serting his chief at a most serious time. Wilson is responsible to the people for the policy of his administration and the people will back him if the entire cabi net leaves the work. If a few more resign we will feel like quoting the saying of a former prominent Republican that the Democrats could be depended on to act the fool at the right time for Republican interests. What has the Frank case to do with the National Campaign for delegates to the Convention? If Watson wants to hoist that mat ter into politics why dont he be gin at home and try Hugh Dorsey for governor? Dorsey has had his ear to the ground but soon found out that while he has been regarded as a man doing his duty, that act did not entitle him to the governor-ship. As a liter ary man and Lawyer Watson has no superior but as a buster of the old Democracy he has proven a failure and will always fail. The party has done too much for the people since the civil war for one man’s animosities to disrupt it. Bainbridge has become the most decent town to live in that we know of. And did you know Bub that it was made so by a bunch of old rounders. Old rounders that knew the dangers of the things they were fighting fiom actual personal experience. Did you know that? Thoughts of higher things put the senti ment into action and the old rounders with the nerve made the sentiment a living and breathing reality. The bunch of loafers that used to infest this town and disgust every citizen have sought other fields of action. The vampires of society that will knock a man in the head for two-bits are not here now. DOVE BAITING Complaints have been coming into the city about Dove Baiting, a violation of the game law go ing on. Considerable agitation in parts of the county of this matter will undoubtedly result in some of the boys getting in dutch before many more weeks. From the information that we gather the men violating these laws are the very men who favored the game laws of the state and call for their enforce' ment in loud terms on other game. It is about time that each man read a law as applied to himself. The game laws were passed to apply to everyone and from all we can gather the dove baiting is being done by men who know the laws and understand their provisions. An ignorant man may violate a law not knowingly but there is not a man in the county indulging in this dove baiting business that does not know that he is laying himself liable to prosecution. We have been asked to call attention of the people to this lawlessness and we are doing so. The slaughter of doves is against the law, it is going on and complaints are being made about it. Let whoever this ap plies to read, and govern himself accordingly. The Jewish citizens of the town have been out recently to The north Georgia counties that have been having race troubles ought to come down in the Empire counties of South Georgia, Grady, Thomas and Decatur and see how the races get along down here. They both attend to their own business and a difficulty between a white man and a negro is a raritv. You seldom hear of any inclination of any trouble among them. It is easy to read why. Because both are satisfied that they can’t do any better anywhere and con sequently the leading element of both races are determined to get along. Had you ever thought of it in that light? It is true and a little observation will prove it to you. The discontened ele- Tom Watson launched his cam paign against President Wilson last week at Thompson, Ga. Wil son wont kick out Tumulty, hence Thomas is against him. The sage of McDuffie has bit of a big job to undertake to swing the old state of Georgia against Wil son on such a bunch of issues as he outlined on this occasion. If the President or any other of ficial hires or fires a man because of his religious convictions he violates the constitution of the nation and nobody knows this better than Watson. This open ing of Watson will go like all his other efforts to break the solidity of the Democratic party in Georgia, in words, abuse and slander and fail as quickly as his oth«r efforts. It is so strong in old Georgia that Watson cant keep himself out of their pri maries. He and his friends will vote in those primaries under a pledge to support the nominees they will bol: as quickly as if they had no moral obligation to support the action of the primary hanging over them. ask their friends to assist therajj^gj,!- j p races breed the in the erection of their Syna- j troubles you read about and in gogue. They met with a very | this section both races are satis- nice encouragement, borne of fi e d with their counties and its the citizens liberally and gladly | pr0S p ec t s , hence the peace that joining in then movement.

The building of this Synagogue will add quite a bit to the progress of the town and the spirit displayed up to now has been such that will help. While there are not a great many Jews living in Bain bridge and the church will of necessity have to be small, still it will be an attraction to the city in many ways. The work is under way and any progressive citizen that feels like assisting them will find his interest very we have ever seen engaged in the evangelical work. He knows when he has finishes his sermon and stops right then instanter. He does not particularly love to hear himself talk. He says what he has to say to the sinner and saint on that particular occasion and sits down. Result; more hard-headed business men go out to hear him than any man that has been here on the same mis sion in ten years. He knows that many a good and inspiring sermon has been ruined by too much appreciated by those for- much after trimmings and that warding the work. The Post-Search Light wishes to thank its old subscribers for the way they have responded to our efforts to collect up back subscriptions and get our list in shape to comply with the mail I laws. A very few have allowed their feelings to get ruffled over receiving statements but all ot them know that there was no in tention on the part of the paper to hurt any one’s feelings. We felt that the paper was worth the price and if an account was correct we only wanted to collect it and if it was wrong we were just as anxious to get that ac count corrected as we were to collect it. We found some that had not been credited as they should have been and their ac counts have been properly cred ited now. If any felt ruffled we feel sure that they will see the business side of the matter, which they will when they think over it many audiences enjoy a discus sion that don’t enjoy repetition. Go hear him and see for yourself. He will get under that shirt bosom and talk to where you live if you do go.

BARBER First National Bank Building Bainbridge. Ga THE REVIVAL The Bainbridge folks are ha ing about the best revival th have ever had here and it i s t kind of a revival that read out afer the fellow that they truly after getting. Coma sense, every day talk, the ki that soothes and draws a fell, and makes him feel like he really wanted seems to bet burden of the work. The preacher that they ha knows just exactly what he talking about from experien he knows how a man feels tl is out of the church and knows how to stir that feeling the way to do the most good. Most evangelists lose sight the fact that the average m out of the church knows in own heart that he is not whi he ought to be and they ( a bull whip on him fromt very beginning, driving hi furher away, but this j Moore still believes him to be some service to the country j endeavors in a nice way to him know it and know that it expected that he does mi himself as useful to his fell man and the community as p sible. The singing, it is good, it tenderness and love. Chai Tillman leads it, none is bet qualified in the state to lead He has sung his way into hearts ot the people of t state, he has sung sinners i light out of the valley of spondence for Imany years, he is still singing to them of beauties of the Cross and great and good traditions, verse and in song he picture them the story of the Babe Bethlehem, the brow ot Cai ry and the splendor of the surrection morning. His singi is the battle cry of decent i high-minded living and it rii true through every verse, love Tillman in this county, man as well as the song, has been working for the peo of this state for this wage years, our love. He has b paid and is paid [full wages every man loves his name! his spirit. Great good is coming fi this revival, even the man wli permission was not sought hold it has been impressed he is many, The street cot critic who knows just hov should be conducted has all concluded that Rev.
