THE BALv BRIDGE POSY-SEARCH LIGHT
WILL NOT CALL
EXTRA SESSION
DEPLORES DEATH OF AUDIT
BILL BUT WON’T RECALL
SOLONS.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 20.—Governor
Hardwick said Saturday that he will
not call an extra session of the Gen
eral Assembly to revive the audit bill,
which was discovered Friday to be
dead.
By a fluke the bill met its death
in the House on the last night, al
though the House voted its passage
by a considerable majority and
thought it was left a live measure.
The Govenor declared that failure
of the bill would hit the business of
the State departments a serious blow,
but he would not call the lawmakers
back into special session to pass it.
Govenor Hardwick expressed his
disappointment at the Legislature
failing to provide any revenue meas
ure, and stated that he intended to
go very slowly in signing appropiation
bills until he ascertained exactly what
amount of revenue the State would
have available.
He had signed only one appropiation
bill Saturday—a bill carrying $45,7:16
to pay an overdue* State printing debt.
He signed a number of local bills.
It was generally reported that the
Governor would veto the pension bill,
which contains an appropriation in
crease of more than $1,000,000 to
pay the* confederate pensioners. He
indicated his course when he said he
expected to go slowly on appropria
tion bills.

Atlanta, Aur. 21.—Eleventh hour-

marked the close at noon of the entry ten thousands. An extension of time
The following program was ren-
dered by the H. E. B. Wednesday-
night:
Song—Society.
Invocation—H. D. Salter.
Helpful hints and business proceed
ings—Society.
Recitation—Louvele Salter.
Solo—Jack Martin.
Duet—Paul Salter and Carey Thom-
i pson.
Humorous Episodes—Jack Martin
and Andrew Avery.
Affirmative’s challenge debate, re
solved that “Prohibition las benefit-
ted our country.”
Affirmative—H. D. Salter.
Negative—Andrew Avery.
The debate was perhaps the most
remarkable feature of the program.
However, the program in general was
well gotten up and each character
delivered his or her part in a very
enthusiastic and satisfactory way. The
question for debate was timely and
both sides presented good arguments.
The question was rooted up from
a moral standpoint and naturally very
much interest was manifested. The
affirmative speaker based his argu
ment on the vices of the Saloon
age. Saying in part “the abolishment
cf the Saloon way first aid to the
suffering women and children and a
moral stimulant.'’ The negative re
futed this statement by emphasizing
effects on the moral situation saying
in part "There is something radi
cally wrong with any law that can
not be forced except at such tremend-
uous moral cost. The wrong in the
statute is that it is too intemperate,
too drastic, it prohibits where it
ought to regulate.” He also compar
ed the Saloon with the present grade
of shine, which alone is a tendency
to create immoral offenses. He main
tained that prohibition has slain its
lists for the September (i primaries.
The entry fee of Mr. Woodward
was paiil by friends at 11:69 o’clock.
The signing of the check was com
pleted just as the whistle blew noon.

where he has been looking after busi
ness interests.
Rev. E. A. D. Sheffield, the vet
eran minister, of Prosperity church,
filled his regular appointment the
second Sunday. Mr. Sheffield’s con
dition is such that it is the general
opinion of many that he cannot much
longer be here. Rev. Sheffield has
been in the ministry for approximate
ly twenty-five years and has always
been a faithful and conscientious ser
vant. Having served a good number
of years here and as a result he
has been endeared to ail. This of
course explains that his departure
was a sad occasion. Despite his feeble
condition Rev. Sheffield engaged into
his sermon, expounding the cause of
Christianity and exhorted the church
to continue in the faith that will
lead them home. His sermon was
eloquent and impressive throughout.
He has for sometime suffered with an
acute attacks of the hemorrhage of
the lungs and physicians say that
his ease is about to reach the crisis.
He is continually spitting and cough
ing clear blood. His physician at Col
quitt referred him to Dr. P. M. Lewis
of Bainbridge, for a more thorough
X-ray examination and it is thought
little hope is entertained. The par
son told the church he couldn’t be
here long unless a change was made.
Rev. C. A. Lord directed prayer ser
vices and in a sad spiritual manner
commented on the record of the wor
thy pastor and thanked him sincere
ly for his faithfulness and charity.
A more consecrated Christian gentle
man would be hard to find.
Mr. Alex Lodges and Miss Alice
Harrell, of Grady county, attended
the H. E. B. Wednesday night.
Mr. Joe Dollar, Sr., a prosperous
farmer of Prosperity district, was
here Sunday.
Mr. George Martin, of Sutton’s
Chappel district, was in our section
last week.
Sickness prevented many of the
H. E. B. patrons to be here Wednes
day. However, a good crowd was
present. Four counties viz: Mitchell,
Decatur, Grady and Thomas were rep
resented.
Rev. Chester Williamson, of Bain
bridge, will preach here Saturday’ and
Sunday.
Miss Zudie Adams, of Fountain
Head, and Miss Dallys Ard, of South
Carolina, were among the out of the
burg visitors here Wednesday night.
Rev. Will Clenny, filled his special
appontment here Saturday night and
Sunday. Mr. Clenny preached very
eloquent and impressive sermons, and
thereby interesting his many hearers.
The church extended to the to the
Faceville Baptist minister a most cor
dial welcome. The singing club de
serves no little praise for their de
voted service. Both the church and
the singing club are worthy of com
mendation for their fuithful and con
scientious services. Wholly unpreju
diced the occasion was enjoyed. Rev.
Clenny’s sermon here Sunday morn
ing was an eye-opener to sympathiz
ers and enlightening to those who fail
ed to agree. His text was “pro
phecy.” He made his points in a
clear and comprehensive manner. He
took his Bible and named every sign
of time in order and mathematically
proved each assertion. For the infor
mation of those who would like to
read and meditate over his text we
give the references in rder.»' 4th
chapter Ezekiel; 11th Chaptr Romans;
2nd Chapter Daniel; 12th Capter of
