THE DAWSON GUARDS. .
Tue NEws regrets that the Guards
were not more liberally patronized at
‘their recent entertainment.
The company deserves our suppoit.
Such an organization is no child’s play,
but is one of the most important powers ‘
for good in any community, the very fact
of its existence often proving sufficient
o quell the riotous feelings of the vicious. :
Let's encourage the Guards, and make |
them feel that they are properly appre
wiated at home. |

WHY PORK IS HIGH. |
The New York Sun gives a logical and
satisfactory explanation of the present
high price of pork.
The Sun says the present high prices
<or swine result logically from the cessa
+ion of the increase of the corn area that
«gecurred about the middie of the last de
.eade and are likely to continue with
#fluctuations dependent for their range
and duration upon an average yield of
«corn upon an area constantly diminish
‘ing, relatively to population, even should
such yields be always at the maximum;
and such prices are not likely to be any
lower by reason of the fact that the
swine supply of the United Kingdom has
declined more than 25 per cent within
‘the past year.
Cheap pork depends upon an increase
«of the number of pig growers proportion
ate to the increase of population, and the
‘imerease of pig growers depends upon an
rineease of the number of acres of corn,
‘which seems to be impractical, or at
teast wholly impossible, and has not ob
taimed durirg recent years. It is true
rthat since 188 additions have been made
20 the number of farms, .but almost
‘wholly in the northwestern region where
*wheat is the one commercial staple and
wwhere swine production hardly suffices
ifer home needs. We may, and probably
shatl continue to add to the nun:ber of
farms in the northwest, but in so doing
shall add only to the wheat growers, and,
in the towns and villages of that region,
20 the pig eaters just asin the '.st eight
-years there has been no appreciable ad
dition to the number of pig growers,
although there have, inthis period, been
a 0 less than 11,000,000 added to the pig
«aters; and the result, the inevitable re
sult, is seen in depleted stocks, ascend
dng prices, Jecreasing exports and some
addition to an adverse balance of trade.
‘The folly of the farmers in the south
“who do not raise their own meat is grow
ing more and more costly., Unless the
preduction of pork is Increased its price
-will go still higher, as the number of
ssonsumers is growing constantiy. :
Haog and hominy is the sign in which
#he southern farmer may conquer.
- 4@P -
AR ANT! -ADMINISTRATION PARTY.
Unless appearances are very deceitful,
There are well-founded facts which seem
to indicate that the remains of the third
party are to be exhumed and passed off
on the public as a branch of ihe demo
wcratic party. There are several parties
to this'scheme, one an alliance leader,
“Tom Watson another, and the third be
dng a journalist of Atlanta, says the Mad
dson Madisonian,
But the scheme will not work., There
‘have already been too many Lazaruses
exhibiting their sores and lmw.lipg at the
outer sfate. These three men cannotsuc
‘cessfully combine the alliance and third
party forces of Georgia, That has al
ready been tried and it fell through of
its own iunate rottenpess. The people
‘are on the watch for wolves in sheeps
«wlothing, and they cannot be imposed
upon by political shysters and thimble
viggers. The day has passed when dem
*ocratic alliancemen can be fooled by a
‘a lot of leather heads who seek to gratify
ipersonal ends. 17 there is anybdy in
“ieorgia who wants to be governor, or to
rextend the circulation of his newspaper,
‘he had better try another schewme than
this. Itis too thin, and most anybody
wcan see througsh it
SrrciaLs from Washington last Friday
announeed that Hon. W. Y. Atkinson
Had gone to Washington in respouse to
telegrams. These specials also say that
when be arrived he was offered the mar
shalsh p of the northern distriet, which
he promptly deciined in a manner as
“firm asthe vock of ages.” The honorable
Billie doubtless has his opties upon the
pubernatorial chair, which is being re
rerved for some South Georgian,
EprTor Bascy MYRICK is soothing his
«disappointea ambition by writing cards
and pul) ishing editorials in which he
shows hi s anger towards Mr. Cléveland.
This is probably his last spurt before
dropping into inocuous desuetude.
TuERE is considerable hue and ery in
certain. circles about ‘‘unquestionable
efforts being made to seduce the demo
crats of the state from the old path.”
Tur NEws hasn’t discovered any effort
on the part of anybody to ‘‘seduce’” the
democratic party. The trouble is, the
old bosses have been thrown overboard
and they are desperately at word to ‘‘se
duce” the people into putting them in
the lead again. Itisnot the “seduetion”
of the democratic party that is worrying
them, :
LiviNGsToN is making a stupendous
ass of himself about Hoke Smith influ
encing some Georgia appointments, and
is being very ably assisted in it by the
Constitution. Mr. Smith bas as much
right to recommend an applicant for
office as any other Georgian, and he is
not the man we take him to be if he
desn’t do it every time he feels inc'ined
to.
The Valdosta Times pituily says that
some of the old-time bosses in Georgia
have been left, and they and their friends
are studiously warning the people against
the possibility of the evolution of some
new bosses. They are against bossism
—of course.
Or course the Constitution claims the
sole credit of having bad Boss Buck
bounced. But that doesn’t lessen the fact
that the many thousands of democrats
who went to the polls last November are
responsible for it.
M. CARTER, one of Uncle Sam’s ad
vocates before the Behring Sea tribural,
consumed forty-eight hours in getting
off his little say. And the members of
the court still hive!
Hoxe Swmirn is all right. He towers
head ana shoulders above those envious
fellows who are trying to impress the
people otherwise. Georgla needs more
Hoke Smiths.
CoLoNeL HENRI JoNESs, Colquitt’s pri
vate secretary, has sent us a copy of his
speech. It is almost as interesting a
document as the Congressional Record.
It 1s suspected that the powers at
Washingtoa frown upon office-seeking
for publication only. They are doubt
less patronizing a pie speak-easy.
Surprosk an income tax act should be
enacted, wouldn’t it greatly increase the
zumber of poor folks in this country?
That is, peop'e without incomes.
CoLoNeL LiviNaston has unfolded his
tale of woe to President Cleveland. Ev
ery time Hoke Smith hits Lon on the head
with a hammer Lon holle"s.
Turre are too. many people who ex
pect misfortune brought on by them
selves to be repealed by an act of con
aress. :
SixcE that plum missed Bascy Myrick’s
apron it seems that he has renewed the
fire under his epithet pot.

Storing a bey’s mind with book knowl
‘edge until he is 18 or 20 years old, at the
}snme time not having the faintest idea
-what oceupation he is going to follow, is
a very poor-way to make a suceessful
business map out of the boy. Better find
out what his matural inciinations are and
what is best suited to him, and then ed
ucate him for the calling be proposes to
follow. When this is done there are nine
chances to one in favor of his success.

The boy who loves work will always
find work to do, and by close economy

race for success.

Before this section prospers any great
sight the people will have to build man
ufactories. All the towns in the cotton
country have had some tough expéri
ence in the past few years, and Dawson
is no exception. Some towns have con
tributed to their own financial distress
by unwise management and lack of bus
iness judgment and town patriogism,
Perhaps a lack of harmony, too, as as
often as anything else added a mite to
the general distress.
* * *
In somé respects Dawson is a model
town. We have the best people and a
perfect system of public schools, and
there isn’t in the state or ou* of it a more
charming place for a man to live inand
die in,
=* * *
Besides, in the way of internal im
provements we have made rapid strides
in the past few years, and with a little
patriotism and a little harmonious effort
Dawson could easily take some long
strides forward. The public good can
not be subserved except through a will
ing disposition of the people to contrib
ute something to the general prosperity,
and TyE NEws believes that is does not
appeal in vain for harmonious and patri
otie effort that the city may be built up
and the limit of its trade widely extend

Let every citizen in Dawson contribute
‘to the general good and live net for him
self alone, but in some measure for
others.

Persons and Things in Georgia.
—Judge Allen Fort is being menioned
for governor.
- Some of the women in the mountain
counties wear gourd bustles filled with
whisky, which they peddle out.
—OQur congratulations to Mr. William
Dollar, of Jonesboro, Clayton county,
Georgia, Mr. Dollar is 104 years old,
and is as sound a dvllar as there is in the
country.
—Two banks collapsed in Brunswick
Thursday--the Oglethorpe National and
the First National. Mr. Ullman, presi
dent of the Oglethorpe National bank,
committed suiciYe.
-—Here's one of Stanton’s hits: “A
Gecrg.a editor recently bought a bicycle
with which to run down delinquents; the
sheriff levied on the bicycle and is now
running down the editor.”
—The Atlanta Constitution is on the
right track. We need a reformatory for
juveniles, and every citizen of Georgia
and every aewspaper in the state should
advocate this muchi needed instituticn. .
-—A. J. Laird, father of the postmis
tress at LaGrange, and who was assistant
postmaster, has robbed the office of
$2,000, and,skipped. Where he is these
balmy spring days the officials would like
to know. :
—There is plenty of frost up in North
Georgia these mornings, and it is said to
have a good effect on the wheat crop,
which bids fair for a good yield. Fifty
thousand dollars was pard out in Adairs
ville last year for home-raised wheat.
—On May 29th, 30th and 31st, at Cum
berland Island, there witl bethe largest
bicycie race,meet that lias taken place in
the south. The whole country has been
invited. and the meet will be conducted
under the League of American Wheel
men rules,
—Atlanta had another big sensation
last week. Harry Hill, a sporting dude
who was intimate with the wife of a bank
president, sold %26,000 worth of paper
with Ler name to it and skipped out to
Mexico. Relacdiyes of the woman and
oliicers of the law are now both looking
for Harry, but Harry didn’t leave his fu
ture address. : :
Stop to Breathe.
From thie Macon Evening Nows,
Georzia seems to be in a swir! of sen
sational excitement. - While Atlanta to
'the north is torn and ren: by a social
l scandal, Brunswick by the sea is torn to
pieces by the failure of two leading
buanks and the suieide of a prowsinent
':md respected citizen, wihile thironghout
the state sensations 'of les.cr mag. itude
I & R .
are daily coming to lghi through the
‘luolumus of the newspapers. ‘The same
condition of things exists in other siates
and in other sections of th-country. The
entire United States seems to be ima
whirlwind of unrest and a fever of ex
citement.
Where will the end be?
The covatry needs a breathing spell.
We have been living too fast, going the
pace that kills and unless the gait is
slackened and people pause a while and
give their boiling bloed a e¢bance to ceol,
there is no calculating what the end will
be. Now is the time for cooler heads to
exercise their influence and by their own
deportment and wise judgment ve
duce the more exciwable ones to a state
bordering on the normal.
Let calm judgment prevail. Let the
circulation of wild exaggerations and
harmful rumors cease. Let the minis
ters of the gospel bring words of eom
fort and peace to the people rather than
tear them asunder by sens.tional ser
mons. Let neighbor bear with neigh
bor, and let us all jolly one another
along.
Cheer up, folks, cheer up.
Smash This Slate.
From the Gwinnett Herald. |
Did you kncw that there was a new
party organizing in Georgia? It's a ¥heel
within a wheel. Itis a combination in
side the democratic party that proposes
to sweep the stakes and gobble up every
thing in th 3 iaterest of a few political
mendicants and bummers. * Keep your
ear to the windward and ycu will heay
the rumbling of this new train. It em
braces every oftice from governor down”
to the old negro that sweeps the capitol. l
As the scheme develops the peopie will
catch on. We only threw out an alarm
signal now, but will a tale unfold !aierin
the season, backed up by abundani proof.

Justice Brought Into Contempt. |
From the Atlanta Herald. ‘
Harry Hill, charged with forging paper
to the amount of $20,000, skipped town
and the police were not even asked to
arrest him. Tevi Morrison, a half-blind
and half-witted negro boy, convicted of
stealing 50 cents, was sentenced to the
penitentiary yesterday for a year. This
is the sort of thing that brings the so
called machinery of justice into con
tempt.
