Notice where one fellow called
another that name and|have tried
to figure out whether he was
cursing or complimenting him.
Donalsonville wants the at
tention of everybody in the sec
tion right now. She is going to
make one big effort to pull off
that state fair sized local fair.
The last week is now on the
candidates and the work will
soon be over.
Dont miss getting that adver
tisement in for the Special Edi
tion. The time for its appearance
is drawing nigh.
Grady county is having some
campiagn herself. It closes to
morrow and we sincerely sym
pathise with the boys.
Garrison, Bryan, Teddy, Taft,
Watson, Barnes et al. Versus
Woodrow Wilson. That the line
up. We take Woohow in our’n.
Have you discussed the new
hat and dress proposition with
friend wife up to now? If not you
had better get busy as it is most
time for that Easter garb.
There can be but little reason
for this county not having the
advantage of the boll weevil pro
position if they will just accept
their opportunities in the stock
line.
The death of Dan Hughes re
moves from the scene of action
of the most - lovable men about
the state capitol. Dan had hosts
of friends that will learn of his
death with regret.
Tell your wife the truth about
where you were last night Bill
and see her fall dead. The shock
would kill some of the Bainbridge
ladies we are acquainted with if
Bill did pull oil' this stunt.
Watch out Mr. Voter tor the
“RULE or JRUIN”man as he is
dangerous. He is a man that
favors any custom that suits him
but gets real raw when said
custom works against some ot
his pet hobbies;
The State Committee has call
ed the Presidential Primary for
April. This no doubt was necces-
sary under the custom but we all
know that [Georgia is right be
hind the Wilson administration
and will stand by the president.
Bill Bryan is still harping
Teddy still talking and Garrison
gone. All of these ginks should
take a liberal dose of Globe Tonic
or Tanlac and get their liver
right. Their bilious attacks annoy
the public.
The effort to repeal the bank
ruptcy law will meet with some
encouragement in many sections.
If they , would just let it stand
long enough tor every guy that
has been stung by it to sting the
other fellow it might not be so
bad.
Jacksonville is still sending
out her liquor circulars. Dont
that gang down there know that
we are all on the wagon in this
state and that we will not build
another sky-scraper for them,
They must build their own build
ings in the future if they want
them.
The Atlanta ring are at it
again and trying by devious
methods to get control of the
state politics again. But they
will never get it with Tom Felder
as the decoy. That duck cant
well float with other ducks.
Nope.
Mrs. Icie Wolf of Atlanta
wants a divorce from her hus
band. Hurry boys and give the
lady what she wants. Anybody
with a name like that ought to
have anything writ. Dont believe
her husband would object to her
having two or three divorces ii
they will help her any with name
hung to her.
Well, Watson has worked the
Democratic papers of the state
fo» another big bunch of free
advertising. He is some lime
light manipulator; that man from
McDuffie. If intemperate speech
were a virtue he would be a
Solon.
The Thomusville bunch want
our hog cholera station. You boys
get one of your own. Dont be
envious old hoy. Just wish for
one like ours and not for ours.
The Donalsonville News made
its appearance last week. A clean
ly printed neat little sheet that
will battle for that city and sec
tion in all their porgressive
moves.
Memory is a bad thing at times
for some of the brethren. How
much would Tom Felder give to
know the folks had forgotten all
his doings prior to his being fired
by the Wholesale Whiskey folks.
Tom is now the loudest mouthed
denouncer of his former bosses
that we have known in many
years.
The state committee has laid
down the chance for Watson to
combat the administration it he
wants to. Let him name his man
and put him before the people
and see how much headway he
can make. Wilson will beat any
man in this state fifty thousand
votes.
This is the [last shot that the
boys will have at the game this
week. There will be no further
issue of the paper before the
election and we wish to thank
all the candidates for their
courtesies to the paper under a
most exciting and trying period,
it is almost impossible to serve
them all at the same time and
we have given every man’s
matter a full consideration in a
business way.
Macon’s new experience with
liquor and a pistol makes one
wonder how any community that
licenses beer ’’Jints’’ can throw
such holy-horror fits when they
just get the results that should
be expected from such license.
The drunk man with the gun is
not much more to blame than
the town that will permit such
^doings.
j The Atlanta 'Journal lambasts
Tom Watson for meddling in the
Democratic primaries. They are
right but they should remember
who it was that first invited the
gentleman to come back and take
a hand ; n that memorable year
of 1906. The Journal had as much
to do with tearing down the
restrictions thrown around the
party as any other agencies and
were duly warned but they saw
different. Has the light dawned
on Sir Richard?
boys, for his is only a few days
now and full of bubbles and
troubles, yet another week and
his troubles will be over.
Mayor Woodward of Atlanta
objects to the raise in the price
of water in that city on the
grounds that water will be all
they can drink up to there in a
few months. Water is not a
luxury and Jeems think that
Atlanta gang needs plenty and
often baths. Wonderful old Gink.
Mayor Pierpont of Savannah
promises to enforce the prohibi
tion laws of the state in that city
after May 1st. Why does he not
do so now? A strange and funny
proceeding, that the Mayor of a
town should set a day to begin
the observance of a law that has
been in vogue for }) years.
Mr. Farmer did you know
that you are throwing away your
money to subscribe for a paper
from one of the street fakirs
that have been intesting this
section in the last few months.
Subscribe from some man that
you know.
The Harris-Felder-Eckey et al
are losing sleep over what Bill
Burwell may or may not do.
Said William Burwell will do
just like he wants to and if
Eckey don’t watch his persecu
tions of Burwell will make him
governor. Bill’s refusal to bow
on bended knees to Eckey is
making the folks look his way-
The preacher rapped the she-
gamblers last Sunday night and
it was a right laughable thing to
see some of the he-skirted heavy
hitters squirm. Even the brethren
who have elimed the Eucalyptus
tree a time or two had to smile
at their wiggling.
xnis paper has made it a point
to see that all the boys were
treated as fairly as we knew
how. No favorites bsing played
and every man taken care of as
far as possible at the time his
copy was turned in. This has
been the most gentlemanly cam
paign that we have had in many
years so far as the press was
concerned. The usual stalling to
get the advantage of each other
in the last issue of the paper has
not been shown in this race.
Every man running is a gentle
man and worthy of the job he is
after. The county has reason to
feel proud of the list that the
voters have to select from next
Wednesday.
One of our subscribers, gentle
man of culture and discerment
walked in Monday morning laid
idown three bones and said “I
like your paper, it is the best
weekly that I have any know
ledge of and I don’t want to miss
an issue.” Now that fellow in
making use of such appreciative
terms was l'ar more welcome in
this office than his three bucks,
although we did not shy at them
at all. He made the week bright
er for everybody in the office
and besides the man demonstrat
ed that he could talk facts.
The Atlanta Journal and the
Macon Telegraph have been hav

Six weeks ago we invited dis
cussion on the county unity
system and until this week we
had very little response. We al
so notified the folks that we
would not handle anything that
required an answer in the last
issue. It being the best week
for pay stuff that we would have
in one year of course those that
wanted to discuss the school
business wanted to shove out al!

care of the candidates as it was
their last go round and conse

the free stuff sent to us.
The nasty and dirty little flings
that Echeilberger or whatever
his name is had made at Speaker
Burwell has at last brought from
Burw 11 the statement that Eckey
lied. The personal malice and
indicative hate that this head of
the Commonwealth has exereied
towards Mr. Burwell has shown
the little in the Editor and has
injured the cause ot prohibition
more than all the work of liquor
interests. Eckey seems to think
that because he is a preacher
that he has a right to make any
kind ot statement against a man
that he could not boss and that it
must go as facts. His dirty
methods in dealing with Burwell
has cost him all the weight that
he might have in the temperance
work. There is no better, cleaner
or more honorable man in this
state than Bill Burwell and no
one knows this any better than
tilts foreign traducer that has
dodged under the white banner
of temperance and decent living
to vomit his filth and hatred at
one of the best men in tlm state.
If he did not sund at the head
of the anti-saloon league he
would be Kicked into the gutter
by all good tren as unfit for de
cent society. It is a shame and
disgrace that this organization
that should rest on the manhood
of the state has at its head the
man who woild wilfully traduce
a man of Burvvell’s standing and
integrity. If they dont mind
Eckey will nag Burell into the
Governor’s chair.

would be the loudest to critcise.
We wonder if Tom Watson
were to use his splendid ability
to help out: the only party that
can aid his section, the Demo
cratic. and do it honestly if lie
would not attain much higher
honor than lie is attaining by his
constant desires to disrupt the
Party. We believe that he would
could he convince his people that
he was sincere. The doughty
Thomas is always reviling the
party of the south but never of
fers us any thing better. He
would do well to remember that
all the infidels in the country fall
flat because they do not offer
anything better than the religion
that they so bitterly attack. They
and he say that the construction
is wrong, attack the material but
have never offered any improve
ment. Tom would have us quit
the Democratic party to go—
where and with whom. He cer
tainly does not think that the
Republican party offers us any 1
more, or the Progressive or even
ana party that he might head.
Where would this Moses lead us?,
perhaps to his own feet and there
we would stop. Tom does not like
Wilson. Who is better? Who does
he suggest? It is very easy to
say that Wilson wont do but
much harder to say who will.
Perhaps Tom is of the opinion
that the safest man to follow
lives at Thompson, Ga. but he
will find that Dame Democracy
is gun-shy of him despite his
brilliance and ability. What does
it mean? A Republican presiding
over |his meeting when he
launch s his grea attack on
Democracy. Is that our haven,
if so we want nonejof it. We all
admit Tern’s ability to tear down
but doubt his ability to build up.
