Organ City of Bainbridge
and Decatur County
A. Railroad, should awaken these peo
ple of Bainbridgc to such a spirit of
brotherhood championship, that the
sincerity of their actions could not
be mistaken.
Think what it means to those men
of families who arc out of employ
ment by the loss of the Red Ball
freight, and think again of those, in
the event other trains are removed!
Then, materially and individually,
perhaps, think of the business to be
affected. And the ABSENCE of a
pay roll that is the life of more than
one business. If there is not co-op
eration quickly, to the assistance of
that, that should be the pride of
Bainbridge, only a brief period will
be needed to show.
Citizens! The keynote of the situa
tion is LOYALTY!
Loyalty to the support of that,
which means the very heart of your
Buinbridge.

We see the Red Crross (shades of
Florence Nightingule) becoming part
and parcel of the international con
spiracy against liberty, for it ad
mitted by its head, that hundred mil
lion dollars were used to help France
stiiy in the war, the Red Cross re
fuses help to Russia, the Red Cross
refuses help to Ireland, and in Poland
the Reil Cross systematically exclude
Jewish nurses.—E. S. Negoid in Post-
Search Light of December 30.
It is not a very good thing to take
issue with one of your correspond
ents, but the editor huving served
Publicity Chairman for the Red Cross,
can not well let this statement go
unchallenged. The Red Cross may
have had some officials who used bad
judgment, made fool statements or
even diii evil deeds, hut the entire
fabire should not any more be con
demned for this reason and charged
ns being a part of a conspiracy
against liberty any more thun the ex
istence of Juiins Iscariot should mar
or eradicate the wisdom of the Chris
tian religion. If nursing the wound
ed, healing the sick nnd helping the
hurt of France was helping them stay
in the war, then the Red Cross is
guilty in the same manner that th
were guilty of keeping the Americans
in the front line by nursing them
getting them well and letting them
go buck into the fray. Our friend
makes a grievous error to make such
a statement. By searching any mem
bership roll of any organization from
the Church of God to the Amalgnted
Soils of Satan carefully, you can find
certain individual members or even
officers thereof, that are a set-back
and often n disgrace to the organize
tion, but that does not leave room for
cause to hamper the real humanftari
an part of the work by criticisms that
may be misunderstood. The Red Cross
have never refused to help Russia
and they are actively at work now
helping the damned Bolsheviks that
wouldn’t give them guarantee of pro
tection. WHY only a short time ago
the Red Crorss carried 2000 children
all the way around the world to keep
them from falling into the hands of
this gang. Help Russia, help Russia
HELL, she ought to be shot from the
face of the world along with Turkey
Nations that have violated every rule
of war, fired on Red Cross tents, fired
on hcspitnls and turned all charity
work to their own ends. Thank the
great God that they did not help Rus
sia. We wish that it had not but it
did and is doing it. Every time a de
cent advance was made to the gang
in control in Russia, the reply has
been the knife or the bomb. Beasts
nnd brutes that are in control of
Russia have no claim on humanity.
The Red CrosI may have made mis
takes as to Ireland anif perhaps us
ing Jewish nurses in Poland, but we
have vet to see where there has been
anger, illness, death, \vouml$, hell
or riot that the Red Cross was r.ot
there a long time before police au
thority was.

Start Taking Pepto-Mangan
Now Is the Time to Build Up. You
Will Be Strong This Winter
Every house has a supply of fuel
for winter. People know cold weath
er is coming. They get ready for it.
How many people get their own
bodies ready for winter? Most of us
go around all summer in the intense
heat burning up energy, working hard
all day and sometimes lying awake
nights sleepless in the heat. i
Winter comes along. It catches'
many people totally unprepared phys-1
ically. Few of us take stock of our
health. Whether we will be well,
healthy and strong, we often leave
too much to chance.
But not everybody. Nowadays peo
ple are learning. They know this
matter of enjoying good health is a
thing they can help control. If you
live right, eat right, get plenty of
sleep, breathe fresh air and keep your
blood in good condition, you will be
all right.
It is so simple. If you feel a little
off in health—perhaps worn out and
pale—don’t take chances. There’s no
need of it. Buy some Pepto-Mangan
of your druggist. Begin taking it to
day. You can get it in liquid or tab
let form. Tell your druggist which
you prefer. But to be certain that
you get the genuine Pepto-Mangan;
usk for it by the full name—‘Gude’s
Pepto-Mangan,” Look for the name
“Gude’s” on the package.— (adv.)

While Congress is trying to work
up u bonus for soldiers that did not
get hurt and officers that drew big
ger salaries in the army than they
earned in civil life, they might work
up a bonus for the TAX PAYERS.
It seems to us that the tax payer had
quit a bit of burden in this war. A
wounded soldier is entitled ,to any
thing he needs, but one that did not
get hurt does not want any bonus
and it is just a bunch of cheap poli
ticians playing the string to try and
get the soldiers vote. We haven’t

An Ordinance to amend the regis
tration ordinance of the city of Bain-
bridge so as to permit women citizens
to register for the purpose of quali
fying as voters.
Whereas, the Constitution of the
United States has been now amended
to th eeffect that the rights of citi
zens of the United States to vote shall
not be denied or abridged by the
United States, or any State, on ac
count of sex, and
Whereas, the ordinance passed and
approved by the Mayor and Aider-
men of the city of Bainbridge on Sep
tember 2nd, 1918, known as the regis
tration ordinance .permits only the
male citizens of said city designated
and described in said ordinance, to
register for the purpose of becoming
qualified voters in elections held in
said city, now.
Be it Ordained, by the Mayor and
Aldermen of the city of Bainbridge
in council assembled, that the regis
tration ordinance passed and approved
cn September 2nd, 1818, be, and the
same is hereby amended, and that
after the passage of this ordinance
the women citizens of the city of
Bainbridge who have like qualifiea
tions with the male citizens of the
city of Bainbridge and are similarity
situated as such qualifications • are
set forth in said ordinance, shall have
the privilege of applying to the Treas
urer of the city of Bainbridge, ifand
after taking ($he oath prescribed in
said ordinance, said women citizens
shall be permitted to register on the
registration books of said city and
become a registered veter under the
terms of said ordinance, in the same
manner as said rights are extended to
the male citizens of said city of Bain
bridge; and thereafter the names of
such as may qualify and register
shalifbe listed by the registrars on the
voter*’ list for any election to be held
in said city. The intent and purpose
cf this ordinance is that said registra-
on record, that he has fully adminis-1
tered said estate; this is therefore to |
cite all persons concerned, kindred
and creditors, to show cause, if any
they can, why said administrator
should not be discharged from his ad
ministration, and receive letters of
dismission, on first Monday in Feb
ruary, 1921.
