Cairo is a hustling town for
business.
Who said trust? We are
trust people straight-out, but it
reads like this—Trust Parker
will lead Teddy a light.
When you are asked if you
know of a good town for a man
ufacturing industry, give the
name of Cairo.
a I knew it would be Parker, *♦
is the cry now, although it seem
ed that they were not exactly
satisfied when the applauses for
Groover was being read off
daily.

The showers that we have
been having for hhe past week
has put the crops in “trim. tt
Doubtless you have heard the
cry of dry, dry, dry off and on
for the past three months, and
there has been a few of our far
mers to suffer considerable dam
age, we have made numerous
inquiries, and as a whole we be
lieve this ns airound and excep
tionable fine crop year up to
date.
At a woman’s sufferage meet
ing up in Boston the other day,
one of the ladies present—a sin
gle lady of course—proposed as
a compromise to be offered to
the male population that in re
turn for the right of suffrage
they offer men the privilege of
piuralty of wives. The married
ladies present opposed the prop
osition, denouncing it as an old
maid scheme.
The Daily Bainbridge Argus
will make its first appearance
on next Monday, so says the
weekly.
It is up to the people of Bain
bridge to place another feather
in their cap for the town; a good
daily is a credit to any town,
and especially a prospering
town like Bainbridge. Let the
people show their appreciation
of Bro. Tiller’s effort by giving
him their support.

VIEWS ON THE
REAPPORTIONMENT BILL.
Whenever a bill of any sort is
introduced in the state legisla
ture for the purpose of giving
the growing counties of South
Georgia advantages which be
long; to them bv everv kind of
right, some fellow from the up
per part of the state rises with
a bill to offset these advantages
by giving to the counties in the
upper portion advantages which
do not belong to them by any
kind of right.
Now, we really hope that we
do not misunderstand the bill to
be introduced for the reappor
tionment of representatives
from the various counties of the
state, which is said to be a com
panion of the bill to create new
counties, but it looks to us like
the bill is for the purpose of
giving to counties in the upper
section of the state advantages
they should not enjoy. By di
viding some of the larger coun
ties in the southern por
tion of the state the number
of representatives from this sec
tion would be increased and to
that extent South Georgia
would be benefited. But this
section is entitled to all of the
benefit that it would give her.
She has the population as well
as the wealth and her present
growth indicates that she will
forge ahead of the other sections
of the state in the near future.
It is probable that the won
derful strides which Georgia is
making causes some of the poli
ticians in the upper section to
look forward to the time when
the state’s political center will
drift considerablv below the
geographical center. If a reap
portionment can be made on
lines .so as to give the larger
counties in the upper portion of
the state advantages over the
majority of counties in the sou
thern portion, the act will pre
serve to that section much of
the political power which has
drifted from her as the tide of
population and wealth have
ccme this way.
The average politician in
North Georgia is not satisfied
that every state institution
should be located in that sec
tion, but they want every other
advantages that can come to
them. The time has come for
South Georgia to exert her in
fluence in Georgia’s affairs, and
she should begin to reach out
after the ripening “plums, ’ t as
well as work to secure such a
changing of the map and appor
tionment of counties as wfll
give her what she deserves to
have, and no more. Her repre
sentatives should be on the
lookout for mearsures that are
framed to rob her of advantages
that are clearly hers.—Valdosta
