DAWSON, GA., Avcust 7, 1889 Advertizers should remember that | the News is the Official paper of both | the Town and County Officers, and | we guarantee our Cirewdation to equal | the combined circulations of the two | other papers publishea wn the county. | A Reflection on the City. l‘ The regular Sunday afternoon | dog fights, sparring matches and base ball discussions that are in dulged in by the youth ot this city are disgraceful in character and disgusting to decent people. Such coarse conduct as thisis a reflection on the city and should not take place on our streets, es« peciaily on the Sabbath. One of Dawsen’s Greatest Needs. ! Among Dawson’s many and pressing meeds is.a good system of waterworks, _Thecity's rapid growth demands it, and it remains to be seen if our present progressive and en terprising board of aldermen will arige to the emergency and win the still greater commendation of their | admiring constituency. The city is cut of debt and has some money in the treasury, a"dl it.is said by one of the aldernien that the financial condition of the‘ town will warrant the building of a first-class system of waterworks. Instead of being an expense, the waterworks could be made a source of revenue to the city. Thereare but few families who would not . pay ten or fifteen dollars a year to have a supply of good artesian water at their homes. Thus, it will be seen, this annual income from the citizens for water privis leges would soon pay the expense of the erection of the worksand be a source of steady income to the city treasury for all time thereaf ter. Let our aldermen take the mat terin hand and work together to give Dawson something that she bas long needed and must soon have. Lowrey--Sullivan. The prompt response of Gov. Hill to the demand of the Governor of Mississippi is a final answer to the sneers of bis enenies that Gov- Hill would not dare offend the bul lies of the metropolis by acceding to a demand for the extradition of Bullivan. It is quite as swift and positive a reply to the critics of Gov. Lowrey, who has thus given #ignal evidence of his ability to up bold the dignity of his state. Sullivan’s only hope now isin finding a second MeAlister. U~ less he can doso he is certain to contribute a handsome sum to the treasury cf Mississippi and to wear the garb of & convicted felon. - The “champion” in a striped suit would be an object lesson in law and or der which would not be without its uses. This case is not to be considered merely as a violation of a law against prize fighting. Had Sulli van and Kilrain met by secret ap pointment at Richburg, fought a finish, gathered up their several remaios and as quietly departed there would have Leen no great bueand cry. It is doubtful if any paivs would have been taken to ar rest them had they succeeded in es- ‘ caping from the state. But the circumstances were wholly differs eot. That they intended to fight either in Mississippi or Louisiana on a certain day was well under stood, and preparations were made for the accommodation of several thousand spectators at so much each. They were warned that it was against the law of both states, and that measures wou'd be taken to punish them if they violated ic. They defied the Governor, mocked the state and laughed at the sheriff who commanied the peace. They set themselves up as greater than the state, and as despisir g its laws. If it requires every dollar in the treasury, and the time of every man in the etate, they should be made to suffer the extreme penalty of the law. Tne Terrell farmers have spent less money than usual this year to make their crope. This fact and a prospect for a good yield warrants the belief that farmers will start out ia 1890 under brighter clouds, | The Brady Bill. The following is coatributed to the Constitution coneerning the Brady bill. It expresses our views exactly: Oneeffect of the Brady bill, if it becomes a law, will be to impose upon the fertilizer manufacturer the additional guaranty that a cer tain oumber of poundsof ammonia, phosphoric acid and potash shall produce a good eropeotton or corn under all circumstances or be con- ! sidered worthless or of o practical | value and su%Yject to a plea of fails ‘ ure of consideration, a proposition which is unreasonable and absurd. | Such a guaranty vould be to ins sure the farmer against the improj« er use of fertilizers by his hands, ! against bad seed, frost, hail, had stands, lice, rust, blight, sore shin, | floods of rain, grass and weeds, | drought, bad cultivation, lazy nc~! groes, and other contingencies too nunerous to mention. It would | be a premium to dishonesty, and an 1 chievous incentive to litigation to | evade the payment ot just debts. | Besides this, it isan lasult to the ] intelligence of every honest, pro gresgive farmer, who, knowingz the ! uniform, well established chemical | value of the the three elements which fertilizers contain, and the 1 protection he has under our pres ent fertilizer law against any fails | ure of consideration in the analysis or weight of these elements, as guaranteed, does not need a guar i dian to protect him agaiost hisown act when he signs a note for value received. The above will he one effect of the Brady bill, if passed in its present shape. Another ef tect will undoubtedly be to abolish all time sales ot fertilizers in Geors gia and put the trad= strictly on a cash basis,a result which will prob» ably suit the manutacturers ot fertilizers better than it will the farmers. T. ~in Stopped by Grasshoppers. The grasshopper does not attack small matters likecrops in Chatham county,but he has exhibited capaci ty enought tostop a train, Friday night this slight and acile insect tackled the mogzul and won the fight. The Tybee train was push ing its way through the marsh that night whea itsuddenly stopped.— The passengers imagined that brigands from the wmarsh haa sprung upon the engineer and throttled him, but it was not so. A grass hopper had held up the iron mons ster. On the island there is to be seen a cane brake thick enough t, furnish with arrows all the archers of the world. These unused weap ons in nature’s arsenal are bent down with the burdensome grass hobper. He is large and numer ous to an extent beyond imagina~ tion. Friday night he conceived a wild fancy, ILying low and thick upon the rail, he chirped gleefully as the train bowled along. Greasing the track with his blood, the wheels went round, butthe ens gine, tender and coaches stood still. The grasshopper conquered and died and at last the traia sped cn. A BILL 10 tax dogs at the rate of 81 each has been introduced in the legielature. The bill provides that the collection of the special tax will l not be enforced where a dog is re~ turned for taxation at a valuas tion of £5O. Dogs should certainly be taxed.

Thisis one of the nicest hotel buildings in the state, and under her management there will be none more popular, T Killed by a Snake, One pight last week a fine cow belonging to Mr. T. Y. Martin, of this city was bitten by a rattle snake. The next morning the cows neck was badly swollen and in a littie while she died. - The Artesian Well. Is the artesian well for the con venience of our ecitizens, or is it intended as a loafng place for all the idle, insolent negroes of the city? Some of our people prefer to use artesian water, but they cannot persuadcthemselves to pars take of it afterit has passed through all tl e filth caused by these lonfing d irkivs, e s “All spirits produced by Distill ers who use other materirls than Apples, Peaches or Grapes, Muyst be et ered in Distiilery War house ard be stamped with warehouse stamp, (this makes first stamp on barrel) and when withdrawn trom Distillery Warchouse on payment of tax, the tax paid stamp (which is the second stamp on and is the laroest) must be affixed.” The avove is the law on all dis tilled gends and goods not distilled donot gome under this rquirement, but are foreed to be stamped with one stamp oaly. tt.
