TOBACCO MEETING
WELL ATTENDED
GRATIFYING PROGRESS BEING
MADE IN MOVEMENT FOR
TOBACCO CULTURE,
The preliminary meeting held Mon
day morning in the court house in the
interest of the Virginia Brighc Leaf
tobacco cultivation in this county, was
well attended and was considered a
successful one.
The plan of collecting information
and discussing some in open session
was carried out in an interesting
manner. Mr. Shaw, of Quincy, Fla.,
having read in the papers of the sch
eduled meeting and its purpose, was
present and stated that the right pro
cess had been started and that it
was well to become familiar with the
subject before the expert on this to
bacco culture told them more about
it.
The nexT meeting will be held in
the court house, on the morning of
the 12th of October and every one in
terested in this subject is invited to
not only be present but talk out in
the meeting.
FIRSTFOOTBALL
GAME OF SEASON
BAINBRIDGE BEAR CATS WILL
GET INTO ACTION FRIDAY
AGAINST BLAKELY,
The Bainbridge Bear Cats will get
into action Friday, September the
29th when they tackle Blakely High
school for the opening of the 1922
season.
Not much can be told yet as to
the strength of the Bear Cats. They
have been hard hit by the loss of six
of last years Varsety, and to date
the new men have not seemed able to
fill the gaps left by these men, how
ever, the squad has been hard at
work for two weeks, and it is likely
that the Blakely game will give some
indication of what may be expected
from the new men.
Bainbridge is undertaking a hard
schedule this year, meeting Moultrie,
Valdosta, Dublin, Thomasville, Tul-
laassee, Quincy, Dothan and other
strong teamB.
There ore six of- last years’ Var
sety on .hand and all are showing up
well. Metz Holder has been re-elect
ed as captain, and he will be ably
seconded in the back field by John
Holder, Albert Jacques, Glenn Grif
fin or difton White. In the line, Ju-
lien Graham, Amos Martin, Innes
Subers, Lee Dollar and Clifton White j
look better than ever. In the back- 1
field John Holder will act as quarter
back and those who saw him in ac- ;
tion last year know that he is one of I
the headiest quarters in this sec- j
tion. t
It is probable that the team will I
line up as follows:
Left end—Clifton White.
Left tackle—Albert White.
Left guard—Richard Wood.
Center—Crowder Moore, Herbert |
Knowles or Burton Nussbaum. j
Right guard—Innes Subers.
Right tackle—Amos Martin or Ju-1
lien Graham.
Right end—Lee Dollar, Marvin j
i Tucker or Emmett Mathews,
i Backfield—Metz Holder, John Hoi-!
| der, Glenn Griffin, Albert Jacques, i
I Subs—Marvin Griffin, Maston O’- j
! Neal, Clifton Butler, Hugh Hamil,

Washington, Sept., 26.—Senator
Thomas E. Watson of Georgia died
suddenly at his home, 8 West Mel
rose street, Chevy Chase, Md., at 3
5’clock this morning. Death was due
to acute asthma.
A week ago the Georgia senator
suffered a severe attack of asthma,
of .which he had been a victim for
the past fifteen years.
At Work.
At the final session of the senate
Friday he occupied his seat, though
his attending physicians, Thomas K.
Conrad and GrVnt S. Barnhart, pro
tested.
Sudden End.
Sunday afternoon he dictated some
editorials for his newspaper, the
Columbia Sentinel, and was appar
ently in improved health last night.
He partook of a hearty dinner, but
soon after suffered a relapse and
his condition became critical. Mrs,
Watson, who returned to the Watson
home in Thomson, Ga., last spring
after a severe illness was notified of
her husband’s death.
The Funeral.
The funeral will take place at
Thomson, Ga., Thursday, geptember
the 28th at 1:30 o’clock.
Senator Watson is survived by one
brother, W. A. Watson, and one sister, j
Mrs. Julia Cliatt, both of Thomson,
Ga.
In his last speech in the senate, de
livered only a week ago last Wednes
day, the Georgia senator severely
criticised the administration for its
course in connection with the rail
road strike situation. His previous
attacks on the administration and
most notably his charges of illegal
hangings in the American expedition
ary forces, the subject of exhaustive
investigation by a senate committee,
had maeje him a conspicious fig
ure in the senate body during his
brief service there.
A Georgian.
Bom in Thomson, Ga., in 1856, Sen
ator Watson grew up and practiced
law for some years before entering
state politics. After serving in the
Georgia house of representatives and
later in 1888 as Democratic elector at
large for the state, he was elected to
congress in 1891 on the Populist tick
et. After being- defeated on that
ticket in the next two elections, Sen
ator Watson was nominated as the
choice for vice president of the St.
Louis Populist convention, which en
dorsed William J. Bryan for Presi
dent in 1896. Nominated for Presi
dent by the People’s party in 1904,
Senator Watson conducted an active
campaign to revive the party.

In the death of Mr. Reuben Rey
nolds, that occurred at his old home
at Reynoldaville last Thursday, this .
section loses one of it’s most influ*
ential and picturesque figures.
Mr. Reynolds was 76 years of age,
and was a native of Decatur • county,
his entire life, with the exception of a
few years spent in Florida, ■ being
lived in his home county.
He was a man who adhered to 'the
principles of doing right because It
was right, and was ever a strong
| benefartor in his community. He
_ „ ait wvg\ i was 8 cons 'rtent member of the Bap-
RrlfVl. INnTAI I Km list church at Bethany, having unit- '
DClnVl IllJInLLCU ld with that denomination in 1864.
The last sad rites were solemnized
in the church yard at Bethany, and
this sturdy old citizen was laid to
rest where the oaks and pines that
have sheltered him for lo, these
many years, may bend above him,.,
and sigh a requiem over his ashes.
He is survived by his loving wife
and eight children, who are joined in
their grief by the many friends of
the deceased in Seminole and De
catur counties.
Senator Watson gave no indication of i the- national capital. It was not
any impairment of the vigor and ac- generally known until noon today as

Judge Smith Makes Terrible Mistake;
Attacks Integrity of Decatur County
The editor of this paper loves a scr. p as well as any
body on earth and id the last man on earth to grfve up when
he thinks that he is right.
In the recent primary he was beaten by one measly
little vote for representative. The returns showed that he
was just one vote shy of election. That is a pretty hard
jolt to many folks but such a thing as that has never warped
* our judgment or frozen the milk of human kindness in our
breast. Just because we failed to get that one vote we are
not willing to say that the managers of the election in the
various precincts were thieves or there was any one man in
the county assisting the election managers who would steal
a vote or a few votes or violate their oaths just to keep us
from getting that one much needed vote.
Being a good sport we took our medicine feeling that a
bunch of Democrats and white men had held the election and
that we had gotten what we were entitled to. Of course, a
recount might have shown a few votes difference ony way or
the other and they would be just as liable to be against us as
forus. Therefore we accepted the dose and went to work.
Lo and behold now comes a man from out of the county
who makes a wholesale blanket charge that there was cor
ruption in the holding of the election in this county and that,
he was euchered out of the election. Judge Smith makes
that kind of a charge against' the party machinery of the
county and in doing so he made the one fatal mistake of
his life if he has any future political ambition in the cir
cuit.
Of course we folks here were for our local man and he
got the bulk of the vote. There was about 1800 votes polled
in the county and the Bainbridge Precinct can vote that
many if they were registered up and they would be regis
tered up, too, if the judge we»-e to run again after making
that kind of a charge against the party machinery of the
county. He is contesting the results when, lo and behold we
felt like if there was any one that had a right to do such a
thing it was the man who lost by one vote.
Judge Smith in his allegation sets out the statement that
he has the information that he received at least one third
of the votes in Decatur county. Well we don’t believe that
he can bring a mu living in the precincts of Decatur county
who will say that he believes any such, thing or any that
said it.
We regret to see that the Judge has made such an awful
blunder and we feel like if any one has given him any ad
vice or information they have taken advantage of him.

cost more than the entire office would
have cost in 1906. In these years
the present mnnager has seen some
stormy times and three panics. The
panic of 1908, 1914 and 1920 and
we are still kicking lustily.
We have seen many in our line
go down and out in that time and
we are glad to say that we are here
to stay with a modern plant in
every way and one that entitles us
