THE BAINBRIDGE POST-SEARCH LIGHT
The outstanding feature of the reg
ular weekly luncheon of the Bain-
bridge Kiwanis Club, held at the Cal
lahan last Friday noon, was a brief
but interesting address delivered by
Senator William J. Harris, Georgia’s
able senior representative in the
United States senate, who was the dis
tinguished guest of honor for the day.
Following the lupch the eession
opened in the usual form, after which
a number of visitors were introduced
to the club by president Mayes, among
them being Senator Harris, Judge W.
M. Harrell, Mr, R. I. Denmark and
Mr. Holland, of Pensacola, Fla.
Reports Postponed.
Messrs. H. J. Bruton and Will Flem
ing, having just returned from a meet
ing of the Georgia Association, held
in Atlanta, had a number of important
and interesting matters to bring to the
attention of the club, but on account
of allowing Senator Harris time in
which to make his talk, these reports
were postponed, and will form an im
portant part of the program for the
meeting tomorrow.
To Outline Program.
Chairman Mayes expressed the be
lief that the club should have a def
initely outlined program to carry out
in behalf of Bainbridge, and to this
end suggested that each member
write upon a slip of paper the par
ticular thing they most desire to see
accomplished. These suggestions will
be read at the next meeting, and from
them it is hoped to select the more
important and valuable to the city,
for the carrying out of which the club
will concentrate its activities in the
immediate future. It is hoped that a

Reduce

Production
Costs
Farming, like every other business, must cut
down the overhead.
It is not a question of being able to afford a
Fordson; it is a question of being able to con
tinue farming on the old too-costly basis.
The farmer's problem is not all a sales problem;
it is also a production problem. He must cut
down the cost of production.
The Fordson does more work at a lower cost
and in less time than the old hand methods.

SHERIFF’S SALE
To Operate Ginnery.
Chairman Mayes stated that he had
received many inquiries about the
operation of local ginneries the com
ing season. In this connection Mr.
Gans, stated that the ginning plant of
the Empire Cotton Oil Company will j
he in operation all throughout the
cotton season, and that the farmers
of the county will experience no dif
ficulty in getting their cotton gin
ned promptly here.
Several of the club members were
engaged in jury dRty in the city
court, and were excused before the
session. After the regular business
TOUtine had been disposed of Chair
man Mayes introduced Senator Har
ris who, in a brief address, spoke
interestingly of his recent visit to
the Orient. The Senator told about
incidents of his stay in China, Japan
and the Philippine Islands, giving
his hearers a clear insight into con
ditions prevailing there. The speak
er stated that he was particularly im
pressed with the work being done in
Oriental countries by American mis
sionaries of the various churches, and
stating that far more good is being
accomplished than is generally sup
posed. His talk was instructive as

Mercer in 1903-04, immediately after
which he began the practice of law
in Sylvester. He began in a part
nership with C. E. Hay, now solicitor
general of the Southern circuit, re
siding at Thomasville.
When this partnership was dis
solved, Judge Bell formed another
with Mr. L. D. Passmore, a promi
nent attorney, still living at Syl
vester.
He removed to Cairo in August,
1905, and resumed the practice jof
law in a partnership with J. S.

•was soon dissolved, but was re-es
tablished in 1912, and continued un

Judge Bell was elected solicitor gen

in one of the most vigorous camppigns
known to this section of the state,
carrying by large majority six of the
eight counties of the circuit.
