OFFICIAL ORGAN OK TIIK < TI'V OF BAINBKIDGK AND I WAT I K COUNTY. Telephone No. 239 —-m mu. b u mimnuieu auifUUiBi. 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 ing an editorial wrangle over the I “whatness of Watson” ana Tommy is sitting back giving them both the horse laugh at the good advertising that he Is getting for nothing: Go to it boys and see if Tommy cares. ire awoxe iror hi WITH THE EXCHANGES Isn’t it pitiful that not a single Atlanta man has even been “mentioned” as Garrison’s successor. — Times - Enterprise. If any town in the world needs a secretary of war it is our town of Atlanta. The Two Big Birds The dove of peace gets most of advertising, but the stork manages to deliever the goods.— Valdosta Times. The bird of Peace has to flap his wings be fore said Stork gets on the job. A Mississippi editor-who killed another has been sent up for life. His labors are still to be confined to the pen. — Savannah Press. A little change for him perhaps in climate but not in atmosphere if he was operating a weekly. Is is said Villa may appeal to 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! the candidates We had to take care of the candidates as it was their last go round and conse quently we could not handle all 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. The Liberty Ccunty Herald advocates a law to automatically depose a sheriff that allows a ; the Mormons.

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. Hundreds of Customers -Waiting For You...
