The blacksmiths had the game cinched before the kick off. rierpont may run 'against Dorsey says the Macon News. Well, there is no law against run ning that we ever heard of. The cold weather of last week was very useful after all, Blue stem col lards are heap better When the frost falls on them. The Carnival is gone, so is a few of our old rusty nicklee, that is some of the folks change not ours. We had none. The solid South and the Golden West played h with the sordid east says Bud while in town last Saturday morning. One more week passed and no body killed by; a speeding auto. What great and lasting mercies seem to be extended this town. How long will it last? The papers say that the “Adamson Eight Hour Law'* is being attacked. Well, what of it? Are’nt th£ Ten Command ments in for many a jolt too? CirdUs in Thpinasville Monday. That old newspaper gang over there was always a lucky crowd. Had a barbecue and now a circus and we had neither. It is a long lane that hasnp turning. See where Alabama will offer Underwood for’the Presidency in 1920 and if she does she will offer the best man that we have in the south to get the job. JVc'H bet an I'urb” that we get a arcus To the poor and un enlightened ffii ‘orb’ is in the Bainbridge boot black’s lingo a nickle^ The labor situation has become a source of worry as well as speculation in this section. The time is here for some careful and serious thought to be given this matter. * Glory be, the ladies all had seats on the benches in the park Sunday afternoon. It is some what of an improvement over what we have seen the past year or more in that direction. The North Georgia Methodists will meet at Griffin, Ga.. next time. We hope to goodness that fellow Duke will be on his good behavior and not have those preachers resoluting about bad habits of editors. . —- — -o- — ■■■■■ — It we can just get that circus, the Savannah Press that Alta- maha Bridge and Dick Grubbs get those bi-ennial sessions of the legislature happiness will just ooze out in gobs all over this country. Iiow about making this thing a spiked team and go after these things in a bunch? Being as the Savannah Press has requested us to do so we are going to let Vermont and Penn sylvania go democratic next election provided they bring forth proper repentance. Well it is to be hoped that those negros that go north and contract consumption in that severe climate will stay there after contracting it and not bring it down into this country. Roscoe Luke is a lucky guy. Gets that job and then gets the six year term. Never saw any- that equaled a south Georgia cracker for luck in my life A man is lucky even to be allowed to live down here. Tom Felder has been silent for some time until he comes out and kills all the chance that Pierpont might have for governor by saying that he was for him. Forty thousand voters in south Georgia know Sir Thomas. Two ton truck got on a Sav annah fellow’s belly and not kill him gloats the Press in a head line last Saturday. Had a heavier a load on our’n many a time and we have not been kilt yet. What the use in having such a foi ti- ffcation now with Savannah dry? The political Liar will please step back out of the way now and let the bird hunter have his inning. There never was a more glorious liar than the guy that tries to make a hundred dollar pointer pup out of a mongrel cur. Bainbridge is fast becoming one of the best markets in the section for the.farmer’s produce. Mr. Farmer it will pay you to fee what you can get here before you sell your stuff elsewhere. We have some live buyers here now. The farmer that laughed at the boll weevil and said that it was a scheme to sell cotton seed is the same guy that laughed about the negro leaving. That same laugh means that he will have to go to work himself and then you will hear a howl. You old grouch, in a few day? you will have Thanksgiving day to observe and you ought to sit. down and be thankful for being out of jail if nothing else. Try to find as many things to be thank ful for as you do to ,'growl about and you will coax a smile to your mug anyway. The Statesboro News is ad vocating the election of the post master ’,by popular ballot and some of the folks are taking the matter up in earnest. It would relieve every congressman of lots of aggravation .but cost the winner about all he could make for several years. The Greensboro Herald-Journal s^ys that the Progressive party in Georgia progressed the wrong way. A sad story to tell the bullies that expected to get the yankeejdough that was to be sent in this direction. A sadder tale still to the guys that expect ed to control the trough. The Carnival is a melting pot sure enough, or at least 49 is. In this attraction our leading society folks and most distinguished crap shooters danced in the same set. Nothing more democratic was ever pulled off in this burg than this old 49. The merchants are preparing for a big Christmas trade and the people will do well to shop early. To pick their goods while they can and not wait until the rush of the holidays are on and when they cant get half waiting on. The folks in town can very easily shop soon and give the balance of the time to the folks that live some distance from the town. The melodious sound of the stuck pig is in the land now and who in the section is so heartless that he cant synpathise with the man who suffers from indigestion or dyspepsia? He is hard hearted indeed that Jdoes not feel from his heart for him when the hog jowl and collard begin to do about. Mayor Pierpont of Savannah says that it is to premature to mention his possible race tor governor. Quite so, quite so, about two years too premature. The mayor ought to recall what happened to another gubernator ial possibilty that got in the bed with Tom Felder recently. The Coast city has some splendid timber but this horse cant get under the starting wire. What are all you fellows worry ing about whether a girl shuts her eyes when she is kissed or not? Why dont you find out? If you cant do anything else attend one of these church auctions where they let you kiss ’em from fourteen to forty for i.two bits a buss and then you will have first hand knowledge. The Soperton Sentinel an nounces that a Carnival arraives there next week. Now B. W., old sport, tread carefully for you know the last time you went to a carnival what happened. Course you will do very well un til that band hits up an old and familiar tune, well, wish we could come over and help you take that celebration in as it ought to be. Nay Pauline, you dont have to let that guy get mad about some Thanksgiving Day affair and stay mad until Christmas unless you want to. But if you do you fall for his game and let him save that present. e — We sure have the ins of Vir ginia. We get our two quarts of boose while the FFV’s only can get their one measly little old quart. It just as well be one gill as a compromise. Guy cant pitch one on two quarts nohow. The chief of Police of Macon has entered Bankruptcy. A most remarkable thing and must be a remarkably honest man. Best kind of pickings in that job and here is a cop busted. How did it happen? They “do say” that W. J. Harris will oppose T. W. Hard wick for re-election to the Sen ate. This same said Harris will make some of the boys sit up and take notice for he is a campaigner that wakes ’em up way back into the Ozarks. We are waiting for Census Bill to shy his hat into the ring. Fellow that has spent four dollars advertising in five years has requested us to take up t he matter of folks ordering things from Mail order houses It is our bounden duty to heed his re quest. He has been so liberal with his patronage these past five years to the local paper. The labor situation is serious, so serious that the best minds ot the section will do well to do some thinking over it. To dis cuss this matter as it ought to be and to be and to get at the truth of it you have to admit some things that some of us dont like to see done. That is that the negro is a factor in it and has to be considered. Watson wants five thousand of his subscribers to send him five dollars each for ihat much of his stuff so as to keep the Jeff alive. It would take two box cars to haul five dollars worth of any thing that he has set out lately and then it could be only used for fire purposes. Tom wants the dough and as sure as you live we do too. See where some Pelham fel lows spent a week ir. Alabama investigating boll weevils. Just a scheme to fool their wives to get off on a trip for they well knew that they could drop down here in two hours and find out all they want to know or see what they wanted to see. Why is it that men will prevaricate to their wives so glibly. For a real simon pure, out and out, copper riveted country paper, the Richland News carries the best editorial page that we have had the pleasure of seeing. Old Brown rides the mail and while making those long rides thinks up some good stuff for his readers. Having bought out the News en tirely we can look for some last ing improvements in it. The editress of the Miller County Liberal since seeing the help that the women in the west rendered the Democratic ticket and other things that she is about convinced they can do bet ter than lots of men. We agree with her that they could improve on about seven million men that did not know any better than to vote for Old Whiskers. An Alabama doctor went to Atlanta and advised the Atlanta women against kissing under the statement that it tended to spread disease. He said very little to men about it for he knew darn well that if a gink had a chance to kiss a pretty woman he would buss her if it gave him hydropho bia, whooping cough and the measles. And we think his ad vice to Atlanta women is love’s labor lost from what we can learn about it. Notice where Herman [Shup- trine of Savannah has been made the President of the Commercial club of that city. A better man could not have been picked for the place and v/hile we have been a little luke warm on some of the Coast City publicity pro blems it will give us great plea sure to pull with Shuptrine for south Georgia. That guy’s heart is big enough to reach from Savannah plum to the Alabama line and we know it. May good luck go with the Commercial Club. In some sections the city authorities are having trouble about having the meat inspection ordinances carried out. If a man is honest and is selling honest meat it is strange that he would object to inspection. He will scrutinize anything he buys very closely. Meat inspection injures no one but the man that is trying to sell meat that ought not to be sold. This town would do well to see that the meat that is hauled around town all day in an open wagon is inspected before it is sold to the people. A good step that would prevent lots of disease. SELLiJVG HEAD* LESS HOGS. Quite a number of our farmers have been talking with the edi tor about the advisability of the council passing a law making it a punishable offense for a market man to buy a hog with his head cut off. It seems that quite a number of the farmers in the north eastern part of the county have been troubled with hog thieves and that it is very hard for them to get the evidence be cause of the fact that the hog is not sold with his head on but with it cut off entirely so as to remove any chance to identify the hog. We have a law that provides punishment for a man that will .buy stolen property and it does look as if any reason able man would know that a hog is stolen when he buys him with all signs of his marks cut off. The farmers afflicted are asking the city council to give them this protection until the meeting ot the General Assembly when a general measure affording them protection will be passed. The council is asked herein to take this matter up and if they signify a desire to hear from the farmers on the matter a committee of farmers will call on them at their next meeting and discuss the matter with them. When a market man buys a hog with his head off entirely it does look like he would know by that, the hog was stolen or that the seller had some reason to destroy the marks on the ears and we think that in justice to everybody concerned that when a hog like that is of fered him he ought to at least call the attention of the officers to the matter. But as there seems to be going on in 3ome sections a lot of hog stealing the city council would show a disposition to do what would be beneficial to the farmers if they would take this matter up. An ordinance by all the town councils, Climax, Iron City, Donalsonville, Brinson Attapulgus Bainbridge would make it very hard for a thief of this kind to dispose of his stolen hog. wit>J vote. Thatl Some of the farmers come to town, get a hundred dollars for a bale of cotton and about twenty for the seed, fifty cents for an old hen, forty cents for a dozen eggs and raise very harry when a merchant has to charge 12 cents for a yard of gingham. They dont seem to want the pay the advance of cotton goods when they are the first benefi ciaries. That is carrying the matter a little on the other side of reason, - 1 homai eir uttvnir next week. step boys as all the be with you and W e ? 0ns to have to make any ^ for your daily walk and sation afer the brethren' Weare watching yj" eagle eye boys.

Calomel Salival and Makes YoJ Sick Acts like dynamite 0 J sluggish liver and yd loose a day’s work! There’s no reason why a son should take sickening, vating calomel when 50 buys a large bottle of Do: Liver Tone—a perfect substl for calomel. It is a pleasant, vegel liquid which will start your just as surely as calomel, does not make you sick ai not salivate. Children and grown folksl take Dodson’s Liver Tot cause it is perfectly harml Calomel is a dangerous It is mercury and attacks banes. Take a dose of calomel today and you will weak sick, and nauseat morrow. Dont loose a day’s work, a spoonful of Dodson’s Tone instead and you will up feeling gaeat. No more oushess, constipation, slug ness, headaches, coated or sour stomach. Your drui says if you don’t find Dodi Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your monl waiting for you. Swell sample line of coats that you can make own selection from cheap, them at W. J. Brady’s Tom Whtson has only one re ference to the election in his Weekly Warp ot last week and that is where he denies askirtg any one to vote for Hughes. What a simple fool dodge. He says that he never asked any one to vote either way. What did he mean by his vicouos attacks on Wilson? How some people are being led by such a flimsy old blatherskite is remarkable. If he did not desire them to vote for Hughes, Or Wilson the dirty thing wanted to rob them ot their vote at all. Yet he preaches about the privileges of the people. If a man has read that paper and believes that Watson did not ad vise folks to vote for Hughes, let 1 him stand on his head. He is meaner than the people thought' he was for he misled many of his followers into voting for Hughes and he owed them enough to ad vise them right. He got the stuffing beat out ot him and now has gone to lying, that is all there is to it. See where in some places that the schools will take up again the use of slates because of the high price of paper. It would be a good idea for all the schools to let the children use such paper as they can get without much cost rather than have the teach ers specify their using certain papers that are high and not one bit better than any other. Some man a few years ago had a yellow tablet that he wanted to sell and advanced the idea that it was bet ter for the eyes than any other and lots of teachers fell for it, making children use the yellow paper. When, as a matter of fact the men that work with paper dodge the yellow paper because of the injury to the eyes. What is experience anyway when it butts up against a man with a graft or a fresh graduate with an ism. The parents of Bainbridge have been made the victim of this thing and It is about high time that the school teachers took a hand and let the children save this much for their parents. Certain papers cost the children more because the manufacturers have to pay the expense of send ing men out to advance thejideas to the teachers that their paper is helpful to the eyes while it is no better than any other.
