OFFJCIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY.
T
DAWSON, GA.,MAR. 30Tm., 1892.
A ——————————
GENERAL SICKLEs went back to his
New York hLome minus the three last
letters of hLis name.
CHAUTAUQUA is in session at Albany
this week, and most all we Dawson folks
have been, or are going, over.
Tue NeEws doesn’'t believe that Colo
nel Bob Mitchell doesn’t want to go to
Congress. That will do to tell the ma
rines.
Epironr J. H. EstinL has tendered his
resigration as the Georgia member of
the Na‘ional Democratic Executive Com
mittee.
CorrPorAL GUNN is muchly interested
just now in editing the: Congressional
campaign. He’s into it up to his chin
whiskers.
STANDING room on the Ocala platform
will soon be at a premium if the number
who hope to get oftice by stepping upon
it continues to increase.
CLEVELAND may not know how to
manipulate a Presidential boom, but he
certainly knows how a Presidential can
didate should demean himself,
Tue Texas Legislature has elected
Hon. R. Q. Mills to tha U. S. Senate.
The Texas legislators telegraphed the
news to Dave Hill and Speaker Crisp.
CoL. BiLr Harris, of Worth, says he
is not a candidate for Congress. Colonel
William thinks the secretaryship of the
Greorgia senate is more profitable, and so
do we.
Tue people of Terrell county are go
ing to take enough interest in the presi
dential question to see that they are cor
rectly represented at the State Conven
tion in May.
ATLANTA, usually so generous with
her pyrotechnics, can hardly be excused
for her lack of enthusiasm at the recent
presence of so distinguished a notable
within of her gates as Mr. Hill,
THE Savannah News says that Savan
nab, notwithstanding Mr. Hill's visit, is
for Cleveland. The enthusiasm did not
seem to enthuse over Mr. Hill. [he
News says Savannah is not a Hill town.
Nerrngr of the Bainbridge papers
like either of the present Congressional
candidates, and Ter NEws would not
be surprised at any time to see a Decatur
courser trot out with head up and tail
over the dashboard.
A LARGE majority of the Democrats in
Congress are opposed to the free coinage
of silver. In a test vote 82 Democrats
were put on record as favoring it, while
137 opposed it. Speaker Crisd put Lim
self on record as favoring the bill,
Tue District of Columbia has elected
Uleveland delegates to the National Con
vention, and soshave the States of Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island and North Dako
ta. il still holds Lis mid-winter dele
gates from New York—only them, and
nothing more. Y ;
v i -
SoMmE fellows who think that the future
of the government rests upon their broad
and patriotic shoulders, are writing all
kinds of communications on the Congress
ional situation, Sowme of the correspond
ence is as long as a lightning rod, and
is much thinncr,
Tne Buena Vista Patriot says this
was about the size of the Hill boom
some time ago:
Quite recently it has collapsed to some
thingabout like this:
O
SENATOR CoLquirtt was one of the
speakers at the Hill rally in Atlanta and
made a painfully laboréd effort to inject
some enthusiasm into the meeting.
Among other artful dodges, he endeav
ored to excite sympathy for himself, and ‘
incidentally for Hill, by a resort to his
old campaign cry of ‘“persecution!’—
but it wouldn’t work. Painful and dis
piriting as *he conviction must be, it is
revertheless true that the people do not
hang upon the Senator's oracular utter
rnces or follow his leadership as blindly
as of yore, and it is evident that he is
fast becoming a back number, =
DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING.
In accordance with the call of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee there will
be a mass meeting of the Democratic
voters of Terrell county in Dawson on
May 10th next. :
The purpose of the mce ing is prima
rily to glect a new executive commitice
to serve the ensuing two years. In some
instances, heretofore, this has been done
without due consideration. None but
staunch Democrats have ever
served as committeemen, so far as we
know, but there have been some men
on the committee who were careless of
the duties devolving upon them,
The politieal welfare of the county de
pends largely upon the character of the
work done by the Democratic Executive
Committee, and none but men who will
‘be prompt and active inlooking after
the details of the campaigns should be
named as members of the committee.
Therefore, it is a positive duty of all true
Democrats to attend the mass meeting
and participate actively in the selection
of thé Fxecutive Committee that will
manage the coming county campaigp.
In addition to the selection of the Ex
ecutive Committee, delegares will be
chosen to attend the convention that will
meet in Atlanta on the 18th of May
to select delegates to the national Demo
cratic convention. These delegates
should not be carelessly chiosen, and an
other reason is added for a large attend
ance of Democrats at the mass meeting
on Mav 10th.
et Ol P B e
IN commenting upon the item in Toe
Niews that Ordinary Roberts is finding
it distressingly dull in the matrimonial
market, the Thomasville Times says:
“Down this way they just go ahead
marrying, i. e., everyone who gets a
chance, trasting to a good blackberry
crop, summer picnics and big meetin’s
in the fall to pull them through.”
Up here in God’s country the people
are not use to such hard living,
and for fear that they might have to
resort to the bill-of-fare mentioned by
our contempora~y they are staying in
single Dliss,
Tue DAwsoN NEWs is the first to dis
cover that the people are better off now
thon they ever have been. This is indeed
news, and should have been marked
special.—Camiila Clarion.
Tur NEwsis not a calamity howler,
while the Clarionis. The people are nt
as near on the verge of ruination and
dammnation as the tom-tit statesmen who
wanted office two years ago have taught
them to believe.
Wuoar Georgia most needs at this l
time is a campaign of self-dependence.
Not a narrow, splenetic of sarcasm at
the misfortunes of an impovished agri
culture; but an emphasis of the natural
drift of a country whose villages and
towns are filled with the agencies of
draining every hard-ecarned surplus dol
lar to building and prospering New
England factories for the things which
can be made at home.
Tms will be a year I<.>ilg to be remem
bered in politics. Political wire pulling
is going to be the order of the day, and
some of the wires are going to be very
tricky. In the meantime, plant a good
crop of corn, get in lots of sweet potato
“slips,”” and have a hog-killing time next ;
fall, That is the main issue, and no mair
‘can deny it. Hog and hominy first, last, l
and all the time.
SOME people seem to think the proper
way to remedy the laws favoring one
class of people is to make new laws for
the benefit of ancther class. This con
clusion is not reached by the t achings
of moral philosphy or logie, but it is ar
rived at according to the rule in algebra
that minus multiplied by minus gives
plus.
ALL three of the Congressional candi
dates will meet at Blakely next weck.
Judge Guerry will be balancing the
scales of justice, while Mr. Stevens and
Col. Wooten will be telling the dear peo
ple howdy,
“Tue first blood’” in the Congressional
campaign was drawn in Clay county last
week. Two fellows down there, fcr Ste
vens and Guerry respectively, have been
et
‘using blows and *‘cuss words' as argu
ments.

“When I was a young man,” said Jona
| than Gray,
“If a fellow took physic he knew it,
you bet.
It would era vp himall up ina collicky
WAy,
And, good Lord, what a twisting his
insides would get,
But the pills in use now-days by sensible
folks
Are as easy to take and as pleasant as
jokes."
Of course, the kind referred to by Mr.
Gray was Dr. Pierce’'s Pleasant Pellets,
the very best Liver Pill ever made—mild,
but sure and effective. The only pills,
sold by druggists, absolutely on trial!
Satisfaction guaranteed, or your money
refunded.
Congressional Grist. :
From the Bainbridge Globe. ;
The Congressional situation is still
very much mixed. None of the declared
candiates, Mr. Stevens, Mr. Guerry, or
Mr. Wooten. seem to have caused a
ground to swell. Each of cowise have
strong friends and have developed
strength in certain sections, but judging
from newspapers there is much casting
about ard lookin,; around yet, and the
eyes of the disuict are turned often to
wards Decatur, recognizing tle fa t that
shie has strong claims upon the district
Judce Bower and Col. Hawes are fre
guently meutioned as being well fitt»edi
for the position Should either Judge
Bower or Col. Hawes declare themselves
in the race they would weild much
strength. ,
From the Thomasvile Ezonomist
The Xconomist publishes this week
an address to the voters of the Second
Congressional District from Hon., O. B.
Stevens, who was suggested by the Cuth
bert convention as the choice of the Alli
ancemen in the distriet for Congress.
The address is one that will bear close
and careful reading, and in its scope it
treats exhaustively of the great questions
that have been agitated by the Alliance
for the past six years. Mr. Stevens
speaks plainly, and to the point; he does
not mince his words, nor modify his
opinions. It will be noticed that a vein
of conservatism runs through the whole
address, which is in admirable keeping
with the demands and intercsts of the
hour. :
Mr., Stevens in his address does not
scek to antagonize those who follow
other calling than farming. He is too
bread minded and conservative himself
to do such a taing, and if he is elected,
which will undoubtedly happen, he will
make a representative for the whole
people of the district.
From Clay Grand Jury Presentments.
To your Honor (Judge Guerry), we re
turn thanks for your able, concise and
comprehensive charge, and for your im
partial administration of justice.
We arve glad that through the medium
of these presentments we are afforded
the opportunity of giving expression to
the sentiments of esteem which we en
tertain for you as a citizen, and to thus
testify our exalted opinion of you
as an able, just and faithful public ser
vant.
From the Albany Herald.
Hon. C. B. Wooten addressed the peo
ple of Berrien county at Nashville on
Tuesday, and the Herald is reliably in
formed that he made a very favorable
Cimpression. Hon. O. B. Stevens was
ther :, and he undertook to quiz Colonel
Wooten while the latter was speakiag.
This just suited the Colonel, and gave
him an opportunity to shell the woods a
little. Mr. Stevens was invited to speak,
but he declined to do so.
