The club intends to pay for it and open it without a bill attached. Senator Boykin has introduced a bill that will show up some of those dear brethren that have shed teai-s over the poor school children that need school books. He has introduc ed a bill to provide that every time one of the rich and well to do want to buy a drink at the soda fount he will put up a penny for the school children of the state. He says that the folks paid this tax to get money to kill men and they ought now to pay it to make men and women. The Senator may not get his bill through but he will show up those hypocrites that pretend to care so much for the school kids. Cold drinks age luxuries. It will put the drug stores to a bit more trouble to keep up the tax, BUT what is a new tax more or less to the drug stores? Every tipie anybody wants to raise any money, they levy a new tax on a drug store and they are used to it now. There has not been a new tax bill introduced in the state in ten years that did not put a new tax on them and they won’t kick. Not at all. At any rate we are glad that the senator shot his bill in the hopper. Not that we think that more, burdens ought to be put on thc tax ridden drug stores of the country, BUT be cause we want to see rome of thc cheap politicians put in a nine hole on this matter. It is a sure thing that a man that is able to buy cold drinks ought to be able to toss the school children of the state a penny while enjoy ing his cool drink doesn’t it. AND WHAT IS FURTHER this bill is going to take root and get to be an issue. Senator Boykin is not after placing any burden on the drug stores or the drink founts. He merely wants to tax a known lux ury to help the school children. Let every weekly paper take this paper up and discuss it. Then we will get rid of a lots of hypocricy in this school book game. Senator Boykin says that he has received wonderful encouragement on his bill. The only draw back at all is the fact that it puts more work on the drug stores that are already ridden. They wont have to pay the tax but they will of course have to keep books on it. This bill is going to smoke out things. BOARD OF TRADE MEETING TONIGHT TO ELECT A NEW PRESIDENT AT THIS MEETING. EVERY MEMBER BE PRESENT. Ap important meeting of the Bain bridge Board of Trade is annunce.l for Friday night, July 14th, at the city hall, and 1 all members are urged to be present, as a number of matters ! of vital interest to the organization | are to be acted on. I The principal business to come be- j fore the meeting will he the election j of a new president to succeed Presi dent Garrett, who recently resigned j because of being called to Statesboro I for a few months this fall. After 1 this has been-carried out, other mat- ! tors will camp up for discussion, and l a full attendance is urgently desired. | The Board of Trade is again be- j coming active in promoting the up- ' building of Bainbridge and Decatur : county, and is accomplishing splendid I results. The organization deserves I the unqualified support of every busi- : ness man and citizen of the city, j Recently an extensive advertising ' campaign has been conducted in the columns of the weekly press of north ' and central Georgia, in an utfort to induce farmers to locate in this coun- ! try. A number of inquiries have been | received as a result of this advertis- | ing, and all land owners who have land for sale are asked to list it with I the Board. Mrs. T. E.

I FT. HUGHES NOW BEING BEAUTIFIED DONATED TO THE CITY BY TUB CHASON ESTATE FOR CHIL DREN'S PLAY GROUND. The grounds that surround Ft. Hughes on the approach to the banks of Flint river that mere deeded the ■ city of Bainbridge'for park purposes —so long as they were kept as such, as a memorial for the late Dr. J. D. Chason by the heirs of his estate, are being put into beautiful shape for a park and children’s play grounds. The work started early Wednes day with Mrs. Otis Bell, E. T. Hines, chairman, street and land committee. C. C. Bell, Mercer Baggs, T. E. Rich, Dr. Wheat and Chief Barber on the grounds. | The city force was made stronger by the county convicts. The derhis and underbrush is being hauled out, trees trimmed and vistaH cut through to the water’s edge. Swings of chains with board seats were filled with chil dren as soon as the workman could hang them. The limbs well be pad ded to save them from injury of the chains. Sand piles will be built and benches will be built around the great oaks. The city had water running -on the grounds early and the work 4a > rapidly ahead. Immense« ing with moss, old cedars, ■< and pines stand in magntfioeot: ever two or more acres of load a) i most in the heart of Bainbridge whose J children can play In safety. I Florida street, which leads to the park, is an avenue of very tall and , beautiful cedars which makes the ap- porch to the play grounds and park j very beautiful. When men go after ; civiq Improvement the way those vet erans of civic pride did, Bainbridge , will indeed be a beautiful littlfe city. 1 Those men left duties to do the work. They called on the Mayor for certain privileges that he cheerfully left other business to grant. ( Enthusiasm ran [ high and as Mercer Baggs, said: “Let's do it all while we are on the job.” ! Men offered to donate lumber for the cause and men gave chains for the swings. These men can always be counted on to do things that means , civic improvement and pleasures for ; the little folks. The grounds will be easily accessible for our friends from the country and neighboring places to rest in, they will be lighted and can be enjoyed in the evenings as well. And another thing, they will relieve Willis’ park somewhat. it Getting Into Politics Sure Enough 'wtors to Lanark to enjoy ’fwn-OTn swim, and iK-cial Sunday evenng din- ’ Lanark .Inn. * h'" "’K-ration of this special to.,’, stashore-on Sundaes by t A.

That “cotton-picking" time will soon be here is evidenced by the fact that open bolls have been received the past few days by the Post-Search Light- from every part of the county. Some fields, according to reports,; are already taking on a white tinge,! while open cotton bolls arc said to be numerous over the country. With- j in th© next two or three weeks cotton- 1 picking will be actively under way. ! The cotton crop in Decatur county is said to be in fairly good condition, in spite of the boll weevil handicap, and an average yield is expected. ! However, the acreage devoted to the fleecy staple is considerably less than; in previous years. j BAINBRIDGE NEGRO SAVES HIS OWN LIFE LUTHER ORR, ONE OF THE BEST NEGROES IN TOWN HAS , NARROW ESCAPE. While laying sewerpipe in a deep excavation for the drainage of water that accumulates on West street, Luther Orr, a negra, nearly lost ’his life on Wed nesday. Men ahead were digging the ditch and Orr was following, connect ing the pipes, when the earth caved in. Orr saw the earth was giving way, and stated later that he figured that if he would rest against the side with his arms over his fare he would not quickly smother, and the act saved his life. His fellow-workers gave assistance immediately by dig ging with all their might. Orr-blithe best negro in Balrdn-idge and ht* rescue is the gratification of many white and colored fritndi. This place, where the water stands several feet deep when in rains, 4am been the cause at much compla feat % the residents of that locality. Money has been spent several times by the council in an effort to remove the cause, but without success. Recently the present council, with Troup Hines, chairman, has undertaken the job of stopping it by laying sewerage of a sufficient depth and distance to carry it off.
