Think.
-O
No kind deed or great good
has ever been done, but that the
right thought preceeded it.
-O
Again we call upon the right
thinking people of this country
to fight the forces of evil by
voting against all wet candi
dates in November.
The same old Tammany Hall
whiskey gang is heading the
National Democratic Party.
Fight them with the ballot as
you did in 1928.
-O
Some of you subscribers are
so far behind in your payments
on subscriptions to our paper,
we have about come to the
conclusion you think we have
taken you to “raise.” Now be a
sport and send it in. We bate to
cut you off the list.
O
You can not beat this section
of Georgia. We now have those
fine oysters coming in on the
market. There is the fine marsh
hens too which many of our
people are having sport shoot
ing.
O
“Ma” Ferguson, the demo
cratic nominee in Texas for
governor is facing a sure enough
fight now. Hoover-Democrats
ana dry forces are going
support the republican nominee.
Wa hope they will eliminate the
Fergusons from politics in
Texas. We have never been quite
able to understand why a real
he-man state like that could be
so apron-stringy.
-O
Some of you died-in-the-wool
democrats see what we are talk
ing about when Huey P. Long
the “Kingfish” of Louisiana
went up to see Franklin D.
Roosevelt a few days ago, and
told him the “Solid South was
his.” They have your votes in
a box already and you know
too. What is the use of you
ing to the polls? Now answer
that.
■o
The Associated Press’
mary of business survey
distinctly optimistic after
business industrial quiery
out. Leaders in various
of the country prophesy a
ness revival. Although it is
and not many more men will
employed the trend is now
much on the upgrade.
There is a possibility of
liquor interests getting a bill
thru the next congress repeal
ing the eighteenth amendment.
But that is not the half of it.
Thirty-six state legislatures
would have to ratify that for it
to become effective. That is next
to impossible as local candidates
would have to run the
of the best people in the United
States. Now try it you liquor
ites.
-O
Several days ago, we visited
the Ttate Marble Works at
Tate Ga. That wonderful mai’ble
quarry is running day and night
six days in a week. We saw
those huge seventy ton blocks
of marble, the largest ever
quarried in the world which
that company is getting out for
the new public building in New
York. Many men are being
given employment by Mr. Sam
Tate, and his company.
-O
The Roosevelt - Garner ticket
may carry the solid South this
year, but they will find hund
reds of thousands of the people
voting for HooVer again. Never
again can the national demo
cratic party claim the Solid
South as they once did. We
made the claim four years ago
in this column that the
electorate of the South had been
handled as a chattel and the
time had arrived when that
would end.
We shall see that
realized on the 8th of November,
We say again when people
come to use a mite of pure
thought they will realize
tho south bv her single nartv 1
system has become worse than
servitude. No outstanding
statesman other than Charles
II. Crisp is to be found in the
South to-day. And folks look
what they did to him last
month.
--O
We want our readers to know
that we stand firmly where we
did four years ago on the
questions that have to do with
the welfare of our nation. We
firmly believe President Hoover
las made the greatest president
in the history of our nation.
He has suffered more real
heartaches and worry over the
conditions of our citizens
brought upon this country thru
no fault of his or the republican
administration than any other
president. Millions of our people
are idle and with it the ills that
go with a depression. But any
thinking person will have to
admit he has handled the situa
tion admirable and it could
have been much worse. We are
proud that we supported him in
1928, and shall do it again next
month. Some of our people who
supported him before may not
feel the urgent need to do so
this year, fa ut we want to
especially urge i you that the
same wet forces in America are
making a desperate effort to
elect Roosevelt thinking they
can, in some manner nullify the
Eighteenth Amendment.

not apply to manufacturers or
producers hauling their own
products to market and not
operating for hire.
Second: That the length and
Width of the buses and trucks
allowed to be operated on these
roads shall be greatly reduced
for the safety of travelers.
Third: That no truck shall
be allowed to carry a greater
load than the license calls for.
Fourth: That patrols shall
be placed on the highways at
the State borders to see that

Woodbine, ....... Georgia
It was necessary in 1929 when
hard times started riding down
Main street to borrow $24,000 to
run the government. So an ec
onomy program was ordered and
the next year onN $10,000 was
borrowed. Last year Bainbridge
got $4,000 in a loan and this year
no money was borrowed.
Property valuation declined
about a million dollars—a lot of
dollars in a little agricultural
city like Bainbridge.
But working on the 5 theory
that everything should be re
duced the city fathers cut the
tax rate five mills and then fix
ed the budget within the income
and held it there.
Taxpayers were unable to pay
very promptly so an installment
plan was ststotad and citizens
now can pay their taxes a
little at the time,
The little city of Bainbridge,
which is recognized as m ox
the live-wire municipalities ot
the state, has been kept in the
forefront by its newspaper, the
Bainbridge Post-Sqarchhght,
edited by E. H. Griffin, former
member of the Georgia Legisla
ture, and one of the best known
newspaper men in tKe state.
