that he dares Governor Smith to do
Most all -the constitutional amend,
ments met defeat in the Southern
states' last Tuesday. This goes to
show that our people are very well
satisfied ertth the old rag, in spite
of the arguments of the ismists that
we have grown out of it. . The fel

Germany better be glad that she! out the ** Pulsions in
had her war before this set of Bain
bridge kids got to playing football.
If this gang had hit her lick or two
amidships Germany would have been
knocked slap into the ocean, and
brick-batted if she had stuck her head
out after she went under.
If America pays any. part of any
indemnity to Turkey for her war ex
penses or allied occupation of Tur
key we hope that the Ku Klux or
some other agency will take the offi
cials out that does it aqd show then
the “Cordele Trick.” If they dont
know what that is we will tell em.

We need not vyorry so much about
our flappers when you look over the
loafing set of young men that'they
ffiave got to pick husbands from. One
can’t well blame them from shying
at the outlook, and pressing on the
bit somewhat. If they had much in
ajght to look for men they would per
haps get a different view. Don’t you
worry half as much about the flap
per as you do about that loafer you
are rearing, brethren and sistem.
