OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY,
DAWRSON, GA., Jury 24, 1889
Advertisers should remember that
the Nows is the C Yjicial pa per of both
the soon and County Officers, and
we guay.ntee our Circulation to equal

Oth r pepers published in the county.

Tur deploreble accident at
Smithville, on last Wednesday,
will necessitate the election of an
other Judge to preside over ihe
courts of the Pautaula cireuit.
Dawsin has a citizen who has
heretofore been prominenily men
tioned in convection with the
judgeskip, and pow it is the uni
versal wish of our citizena that he
make the race. 'We refer to Hon.
James . Guerry. He would, with
out any doubt, muke a capable,
conscientious and upright Judze.
If he consents to make the race
his election is an almoest foregone
conclusion,
Dawson and Her Merchants. |
During the psst three or four|
years, Dawson has been steadily ad- [
vancing. ler prosperity is now
asured and, in the next year or
two to come her growth and de
velopment vill be more rapid
than it bas been at any time dur- ‘
ing the pust. Lven within the
past few weeks several new fami
lies have moved into Dawson, and
there are others yetto come between
this and the new year. The populas
tion of the town is, therclore, con
stantly on the increase;and, as this
increases, o will enterprise na
business devclopment. Every
house in-the city zo far as we know,
is either already occupied or spo
ken for, Lesides the new buildings
constructed during the year. The
time will come in the near future,
we apprehend, when the city of
Dawson will number at least five
thousand saule: and in the y.* s to
conie-it is not impossible thit the
population will rezch two or three
times that number. The crowtl
and euter prise of the town hes beey
due. in the main to,our merchants,
They have evinced a spirit of
liberality in the conduct and man.
agement ol business that has atirac
ted trade and patronage from cve ry
section of the country, for many
miles around. Dawson has Lecowe
the centre of trade not only of
Terrell, but, as well, a considerable
=ortion of Webster, Calhoun auad
Btewart, also portions of Sumter,
Lee, Randolph, Doughterty and
others. In all of these ¢ i 1
ties the News has a good civeola
tion, ard muuy of our merchaonts
have used its columns in inducs
ing this increased patronage and
trade to our city. Wpon the whole,
the outleok 1s bright, and though
the year Lusbeen a hard one, in
wauy respects, thereis no cause why
any should despond. Should the
present year prove a good crop
year, we coufidently predict that
Dawson will receive not less that
twelve thousand ba'es of cotton.
In the meantine Jot everyhody
rpeak a gnul word for our grm\'ing
city and endeavor to control as
much trede as possible.
Brady’s Biil. -
~ The Brady bill,which was killed
in the renate in the last legislature,
may pass muster this time. The
popular sentiment against the use
of guave is guining ground. The
larger proportionot guano is bought
on a credit, and as the Brady bili
would kill out most ffectually all
time sales the passage of ths bill
would have a tendency to keep
time with the pepular seniment
It it passes there will Le a reaction
ina few y ars coming from the sam
ple who low fevor its passage.
I;:ere is o doubt Lut that guano
increases tle yield of cotton. Wil
the farmers who baven't the cash to
pay be willing for those who have
money to ecjoy the benefit ot in
creasing their crops? Men who
make large erops can afford snall
wices better than they who are
’orced to work poorland. Some
times a rebounding ball hitsa heavy
lick, suys the Wayncstoro Troe
Citizen.

‘ the state,
The Nuws iz opposed to the Fel.
' ton bill, and is ur compromisingly
t opposed to the untairness of dottiy.g
branch colleges over different see
’ tions of the state. The mattor js
| 2lso under consideration by the
i legislature of inereasing the pum
t ber of these branch colleges.
’ We are told that these branel
| universities are to benefit the mase
| €B, that they are seattered over the
' state to make them more easily ae
? cessible. They are casily ac-essible
l' to whom ? To the children of the
town and the immediate neighbors
Liood in which they are located. To
;nobody els:. But it is said that
men can board their children there,
ard thus avail themsclves of the
Dbenefit of free tuition. In this
event the tuition is, Ly far, the
least item in the list of expenses.
Ouly the rich and highly favored
are able to pay the board. Tle
i poor can scarcely support therr
families at home. Thus the pocr
‘ are ent'rely deprived of the benefit
ot this state aid, unless they nie
! fortunate dweliers in thosa favored
i sections. Why are people of Cuth.
il;vrt entitled to education at the
hand of Gerrgia more than are the
| people of Dawson, Albany, Ameri
| cus, Montezama, or any other town
E of the state ? ‘Are they more loyal
| citizens, or do they pay to the gen
o
eral government a higher rate of
taxtion? Wy this preference, this
great immuuity ?
We suy nothing against the
efficiency of these schools. Their
teachers are riece, cultivated and
polishid gentlemen, fully compe«
teut to teach. Bu* we do attack
the injustice of the scheme, and
demand that in bebzlf of ou. own, |
and other towns and communities, ‘
that these brarch colleges be dizcon- |
tinued. Tor the general good this
is desired: They cripple our indi
vidual efforts in trying to foster and
build up our own institutions of
learning. Tln our efforts to Jo this
we must contend aguinst public
influences and public donations,
Have the people of Cuthbert, of
i'l'honms\'illo, ot Milledgeviile, and
}uthsr places, thus highly favored, |
shown a greater interest in educa- |
[ tion than Dawson ? We do not 2sk {
for a branch university in Dawson
: We Jo not desire it. All we ask is
that public aid mey be withdrawn
from other towes,
\ We donot desire to be taxed to
cducate the people of Cuthbert, or |
other tewns, that are now drawing
large deaughts from the publie pap.
I'l'hm-c i 3 no sort of justice in it.—
lEthe state of Georgia is avle to
‘w,(lnv;:xc all her children, let her
l give to all alike ; both to ber sons
cand her davghters. Let the money
e appropriated to all the countics
5 in proportion to population, and let(
‘;\1! her children drivk knowledge
} from the eommon fountain.
| Another objection to branch
! schools at some places is that they
are used exclusively for the educas
‘ tionof boys. Are notour caugh
ters entitled to as much considera
tion by the stateas are our sons?
Why discriminate Letween lhel
sexes? This, indecd, is barbarism;
and this very thing works a h:mhl
ship upon some of the unfortunate |
pocr cven in thoso highly favored
towrs. A poor nan living there
hes no soug, but several daughters;
he cannct enjoy the benefit of stato
aid, Lecause bis children are girls,
but at the same time he is taxed
to educate the sons of his wealthy
neighbor. Ilis daughters, like
Promethus,are chiinelto the rock,
and canvot slake their burning
thirst for kno yledge, though the
fountains of knowledge well up on
every side This is the greatest ins
Justice to the fuirest part of God's
creation, and it ought not so to be.
It the education of the one, or the
other, must be neglected, it is infin.
itely better to educate our daugh
tees. They are to Lecome mother:,

it would be wiser to sell the siate
‘road than to lease it even at an in
l creased rental. Georgiaought to go
~out of the railroad busiress. 1t is
an anomaly for a state to enzage in
any busit ess in competition with its
citizens, It will be impossible to
prevent the Western and Atlantic
road from being a corrupt polits
izal iufluence as long as it is owns
ed by the state,
The road can he sold now for a
sum large enoug to pay the state
debt. Tt may not be pessible to do
thisat the expiration of the pros
posed new lease. New railvoad
lines may reduce its velue below
the fizures of the state’s indebteds
ness,
Thiz would seem to be the sug
gestion of wizdom in business meth
ode. Tt wouud at least remove a
distracting and corrupting influs

Georgia reports an increased area
of clover aund grass over last year.
Thisis one of the most hopeful

means a better system of farmiog,

Mr. HasrzrLrn,of Webster cour.a
ty, opposses the bigher education
idea. Instead of cach district hav
iog u college, he wants ezch of the
137 countics to have an academy
and appropriate $1,300 to each,
By this means all classes would he

Mr. Harrell on this question,

GrLANDERS prevail in a number
of counties of Georgia and the

quite seriovs, The disease is said
to have been brought here by Tex
a3poLics,

Groraia does not need hiher

be surprised if he knew how much
