But he had best leave his white wife

THERE is likely to a 'ively debate
in the senate this week which ins
voles a moral queston. A joint
resolution yrovides for a house
warming in the vew capitol on the

mittee on public property hss
reported an amendment to the res.

be po dancicg. Some members
regard this as rather puritanical
and claim that the dancing people
have as much right to use the cap~

The debate will nodoubt be lively
and the action of the senate will be

Dawson's Futare,
The future of Dawson presents
wany intecesting aud prophetic
speculations, Dawson is on the
highway to greatness, glory and
grandeur, and if there he an:
who wish to deny this propeaition,
fo. their convietion many eculm
demonstrations stand out to view
in every direction. From every
point of observation we sce most in
contestable evidence of great vital
ity among the citizens of the town.
Oid and dilapitated buildings are
being removed to give place to
new ard elegant ones, and wmany
lots that have never been improved
are being ornamented with stately
snd commadius mansions. In fact,
a iind of buiiding mania seems to
have secized upon the entire popu~
lution of the town, and the conia
gion is reaching far into the coun
try in all direciions. With all
these demovrstrated facts spread
out to thy eyes of the world, and
appearing clear as the sun at meri
diam height, who will have the
hardilicod to gamsay the proposi
tion that Dawson is on the high
road to rapid growth and great
‘ness?
Ard it must be borne constant
ly in mind that all these things,
and much untold, have come to
pass more in anticipation of other
railroad advantages than what
we now enjoy, and if all these have
been done in the green ‘ree,
what will be the result of the dry?
Many important enterprises are
at this time in contemplation, and
only awaiting the completion of
the Colnmbusg Southern to mark
their existence.
Give Us Better Public Roads.
Toe recent road congress hc!d'
in Atlanta «ppointed a committee
to present a memorial to the Geor
gia Legislature and to petition for
a change in the road Jaws of the
state. This committee has present
ed its mcmorial. After calling
attention to the deplorsble cous
dition of the public roads of the
state and tlhe inefficiercy of
our present roal laws, the com
mittee offers the following recom
menca ‘ons:
“The commiittee respectifully
tecommends that as far as practi
cable the misdemanor conviets be
worked upon the public roads of
the state upon such terms as will
‘enable each county to gecure the
proceeds of its own couvict labor.
} “We further recommend that avp
act he paszed which shall provide
for a superit tendent of roads for
cach county in the state,whose du~
ty it shall be to lay off the publie
roads in sections and s the road
autherities in cach county may de~
termine, either let them out by
contract or enploy overseers,
under whomthe roads shall be work
ed;provide for stringent rules tocom
pel the road workers to perform
the labor asse-sed upon them or pay
its equivolent in money, provide
for a tax upen property as addi
tional means for {urnishing road
tools, grading ard aiding labor in
keeping the public roads in order,
leaving the road authorities of
each county to determine the
amount and character of work to
be done within it,
“We reconimend that assoon as
consistent with the good taith of the
state thav the penitentiary conviets
be put upon the public roads ”
We corsider the suggestions of
the committee good and timely,
The NEws has for a loug
time advoeated putting conviets to
work on the publie roads. We
ought tobave a better system of
road laws. This question has been
very generally discussed all over
\the siate during the past eix
monthg, and the people are unanis
‘mously in favor of better roads laws
‘and better public roads.

The School Question Again.
Mr. Editer: Your cemments
upon my positionon the educations
al question are calculated to leave
none of your readers in doubt as to
jour own views on this important
matter, and but for the fsct that
you lettit to be inferred that I am
“squarely in the fight for Dr. Fel
ton’s hizher ‘education’ scheme,” 1
would not again seck to oceupy
your valuable space. I feel un»
der oblizations for your prompt
and courteous support of Cuth' ert’s
Branch Co lege in i sclaims, under
the existing state of things, and
while the typos made havoe (in
one or two ivstances) of my words,
Lattiibute itall to my poor writs
ing - nd ch erful'y bear witness to
the broad liberality manifested by
you iu the publication of my com -
wiunication. 1 now beg that I may
vot be cousidered as abusing your
(‘()lll’fl_’r‘\' mn hguin :lpp('lllillg llp')u
‘the same subject.
[ find Dr. Felton’s bill burder.-
ed with unwise provisions uutil it
18 absolutely objectionable, and
should not, in its present shape, re
ceive the sanction of our law mak~
ing powers,
Tne great object of the bill purs
ports to be the advancement of
education—especially higher edu
eation- thr.mghout the state, yet
it recks to adopt as a eriterion tor
our need in educational institutions
the arbitrary lives of the teu scv-i
eral congressional disiricts, regard~
less ot the tact that the state will
very -oon have to be redistricted,
and ignoring the possibility, under
this plar, of crowdinz twoor three,
and even more branch colleges, into
a very emall section, thus leaving
large tracts of the state absolutely
barren of guch facilities.
The bill would set aside a large
#um to be appropriated to “‘schol+
arships.” I‘t always appears to mel
oad pelicy to scatter, unnecessarily,
any funds intended to be used for
‘the permanent good of maukind,‘
and to let out in small driblets the
~tute’s fund for educational purs
j poses 89 that it will be practically
uufelt as against the solid field of
illiteracy in Georgia, vould seem
to be exceptionally unwise.
I would coneentrate this sum,
andin a lump empty it into the
common school bagket.
The bill is objectionable in this,
also, that it seeks to devote too
much money to the University at
Athens, more than can be wisely
and we.l used tor the legitimate
wauts of the institution, [ would
reduce the sum to the lowest effi
cient working amount, and the
balance I would also give to the
common school fund.
It is very unfair, not to say
unkind, to insinuate that the friends
of bigher education are willing to
cripple the prospect of aid for the
common schools of the country,
In nosense do they oppose liberal
provision for these schools, but they
go further and contend that the
state that izable to build a million
tdollar eapitol is also able to do
somcthing to prevent her laws all
being made by the rich and for the
rich, by giving to all her sons
equal opportunities to become
stutesmen, and thus participate in
their enactment.
Your editorial is tor “education
for the people,” as opposcd to high
er edueation. 1t is for the people,
my people, my own boys aud girls
[ plead, that they may have at
least cqual advantages to those
northern f naties and eunemies to
our race are placing within the
reach of the young vegroes of the
state, Shaltl not, theu, urge upon
the Jegiziature to grasp this whole
matter, nor rest until every boy
and girl in the siate, however hum
ble and poor, may proudly ex laim
lam a Georgian, and Georgia
does not forbid me her high places
by keeping the good things provid
ed mn the volleges and umversities
of the world out of my reach, and
even the barefooted urchin run.
ving looze on the streets may safely
rcount on being fitted (it he only
wills it) to «it in the council of the
state, amidst the splendor of our
new capitol.
Most earnestly do I hope the
coad sense of our legislators will
be utilized in perfecting the Felton
bill, and then, that their patriot
| ism and wisdom will be shown by its
jenactment into law, at as early a
iday as possible, that Georgia may
at once commence the gigantic
strides she is sure to make in ma-s
terial advencement whenever it be
comes her fixeld policy to educate,
in the fullest sense ot the term, her
youth of both sexes.
It is pure bosh, that we are too
E»oor to commence this great werk.
'he good people of Dawson see and
appreciate the situation at their
own doorg,and no doubt like wise,
patriotic men will prove equal to
the crisis. Georgians must corn
mence to do for Georgia what you
Mr. editor, are urging Dawsonites
to do for Dawson; it will not then
be long till Georgia will abundants
ly cure for all Georgians and be
come to them the Empire state of
the world. So mete it be.

Randolph’s War @1 Trusts.
Recently the alliance of I:ndolph
county passed resolutions boycott
ing any or all the merchants of
Cuthbert, provided they sold or ex
posed for sale during the coming
season jute bagmng. This is a
step a little ahend of any other
county alliance in the state. The
merchants of the place have been
disposed to respect the wishes of the
organization and none of them
gave orders for jute. A proms
inent wholesale house of Montgom
ery,after vainly trying to sell bag
ging to an established trade, des
cided to ship carly in the season
two thousands rolls of jute bagging
to Cuthbert, and employ a wan to
gell the same for them. Sinee then
Mr. Jsaae Easly, an old and res
liable grocer, has decided to stem
the storm alone, ard it remains to
be seen what will be the result, On
the heel of this decizion of Mr. Easly
the alhance were in session on Sat~
urday, aod went a step turther.—
They now deelare they will not
‘buy,if possible to prevent it, any
corn, salt, eats, coffee or any other
goods wrapped in jute sacks or any
goods ‘ied with jute twine. The
alliance of Randolph county is cers
tainly making a reputation in
their war against the tru-t.

DRUGS, CHEMICALS and PATENT MEDICINES in the city of
Dawson Beginning with a mederate business, they have built up the
most substantial drug trade in Southwest (Georgia. By honest and fair
dealing, coupled with politevess and kindly courtesy to all, they have
attained that degree of popularity with the public that none can gain
say. Their business to-day is ‘a living testimony to the fact that
potience, perseverance and fair dealing are not without their reward.
A thorough knowled re of the action ot different drugs enables them to
give timely counsel to the uncertaiv purchaser and save him monev
by directing him to the wmost cer.ain means hy which health and heppis
ness may be restored. ~ Alive to their interest as druggists they keep
psted on the good things that are continually coming out in the way
of new remedies, and allow none to pass by that are known to have
merit in curing diseases. They make 2 number of medicines in their
own Laboratory that have gained an enviable reputation in the dis
eases for which they are recommended. At the head of this list stands
CHOLERA CORDIAL

Than which none better is known for the cure of Dysentery, Diarrhcea,
Cholera Morbusfand Cholera Intantum. “It gets there,” say all who
have used it in those diseases of the bowels peculiar to hot weather, It
you want to be eonvineed that there is at least one eertain remedy for
