HELP THE GUARDS.
Prize Drill and Supper Friday Evening,
On Friday evening che Dawson Guards
will entertain their friends with a com
petitive drill and supper at their armory,
and a pleasant time is assured all who
will attend.
The object of the entertainment isto
raise funds with which to meet the obli
gations of the company. They have
bought the hall used for an armory, and
the proceds of the entertainment will be
apphed to that debt.
The Guards is an organization that
appeals strongly to the liberality of the
people, and THE NEws hopes the public
will demonstrate their appreciation in a
substantial way on the night of the drill
and supper.
Mr. L. C. Hoyl, Jr., who now wears
the medal as the best drilled soldier of
the ecompany, will have to look to the
safety of his laurels, as several of the
company have a covetous eye fixed upon
the handsome gold badge.
THE HIGHEST AWARD.
Roysl Baking Powder iias all the Honors.
In “Strength and Value 20 Per Cent.
: Abdove its Neares Competiteors.
The Royal Baking Powder has the en
viable record ot having received the
highest award for articles of its class—
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly combined—wherever ex
hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibitions of former years, atthe
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs where
it has been exhibited, judges have in
variably awarded tne Royal Baking
Powder the highest honors.
At the recent World’s Fair the exami
nations for the baking powder awards
were made by the experts of the chemi
cal division of the Agricultural De{;art-j
ment at Washington. The official re
port of the tests of vbe baking powders
which were made by this department for
the specific purpose »f ascertaining
which was the best, and which has been
made public, shows the leavening
strength of the Royal to be 160 cubic
inches of carbonic gas per ounce of
powder. Of the sream of jtartar bakins
powders exhibited at the fair, the next
highest in strength thus tested :ontained
but 133 cubic inches of leaveping gas.
The other powders gave an average of
111. The Royal, therefore, was found of
20 per cent greater leavening strenth
than its nearest competitor, and 44 per
celtt' above the average of all the other
tests, Its superiorit( in other respects,
however, in the guality of the food it
makes as to fineness, delicacy and whole
semeness, could not be measured by fig
ures. |
It is these high qualities, known and
appreeiated by the women of the country
for so many years, that have caused the
sales of the Royal Baking Powder, as
shown by statistics, to exceed the sales
of all other baking powders combined.

GENERAL C. A. EVANS,
It is'safe to say that oneof the largest
and most enthusiastic campaign ¢lubs in
the state will soon be organized in Gen- |
eral Evans’ interest, and nothing will bel‘
left unaone to make certain his success.
General Evans has said that he would
visit Dawson soon. The people here are
anxious to welcome him,and he will meet
with an ovation from all classes and
ages of ovur citiz'ns when he ¢. €.
= A Sketchof General Evans.
The subject of this sketch was born in
Stewart county, Ga., and descended from
a long line of ancestors, all farmers, al:
though many of them filled positiens cf
trust with the same distinguished abili
ty that characterizes the man who now
stands foremost in the race for the gov
ernorship.
General Evans received his education
at the Lumpkin academy and, after
graduating at the law school at Augus
ta, began the practice of that profession
when only 19 years of a‘fe. The yoang
student and lawyer had a natural love
for farm life and followed this congenial
occupation in connection with his law
practice very successfully. He was
elected judge of the county court shortiy
after he attained his majority and held
this position until his twenty-fifth year,
when he was called to represent his dis
trict in the state senate, where he rc~
mained until the opening of the war,
when he enlisted from his home county.
A natural born commander, the young
soldier earned promotion to the rank of
major, then colonel, then brigadier-gen
eral until, early in 1864, he was raised to
the command of a division in General
Lee's army, ¢
General Evans served under Stonewall
Jackson, Ewell, Early and Gordon in the
campaign of Virginia and the invasions
of Marylani and Pennsylvania, finally
surrendering at the lasi battle of Appo
mattox. He was wounded several times;
twice severely. One wound in the body
at Frederick City, Md., which did not
fully heal over for eleven years. Anoth
er severe wound at Gettysbury, from
which he still suffers. His other three
wounds were painful, but not danger
ous. His bngade was the famous Gor
don brigade, with which he served from
the first to the last. It was composed of
seven Georgia regiments, and came from
all sections of Georgia. '
After the surrender at Appomattox,
General Evans returned to his home in
Stewart county and immediately carried
out his purpose to enter the ministri by
joining the Georgia Conference, which
he has served for more than 25 years ac
tively. until released from active duty by
the conference om account of trouble
from his old wounds—which disqualified
him to some extent, at least from the
pastoral duties of his profession. He
his sharge of the superannuate fund and
the educational loan fund, in which ca
pacity he is now serving the church. |
General Evans has always felt an act
ive interest in the affairs of his native
state, but has never been an office seek
er, nor in anyway connected with ring
politics in Georgia. His candidacy is
the result of urgent appeals from his
friends and admirers all over Georgia.
General Evans is in com.nand of the
Georgia Division United Confederate
Veterans and is engaged in formin t! asso
ciations in all parts of the state, for the
‘purpose of collecting history, preserving
Confederate memories and taking care of
‘the needy.

A RECEIVER WANTED
For the Thomasville Times-Enterprise by
by Some the Stockholders.
Judge Jas. H. Guerry, representing
some of the stockholders of the Thomas
ville Times-Enterprise, has filed a peti
tion asking the court to put that paper
in the hands of a receiver.
Judge Hansell, who presides over the
circuit in which Thomasville is in, is
disqualified, and the petition was filed in
the court here.
Judge Griggs has passed an order re

PARROTT HIGI SCHOOL.
This Popular Institution Now Owned by a
Stock Company. ‘
The incorporators of _arrott High
School cailed the stockholders tozether a
tew days ago for the purpose of electing
directors and for transacting such other
business as might come before the meet
ing. R. J. Anthony, R. F. Cook, J. L.
Parrott, J. H. Wiliiford and J. C. Whaley
were elected directors for the ensuing
year.
This corporation had been formed for
the purpose of aran.ing the debt hang
ing over the school property. It was
proposed to divide the stock of the com
pany into shares of five dollars each, and
to buy the school property for an
amount sufticient to pay the deb!, This
of course wonld leave those who had
contributed Levetofore without any show
ing for the amount contributed. But at
the meeiing last Friday it was decided to
issue certificates of stock to all who have
heretofore contributed, and to the full
«mount of such contribution.
This school debt, and the question
growing out of it, nas caused scme fiic
tion 1 the neighborhood, The action
of the meetirg last Friday will remove
every element of discord. Absolate har
mony will now prevail in the school n.an
agement. Our people will act as a unit
in sustaining the school, and prosperity
will necessarily ensue.
PARROTT PEOPLE.
JUDGE GRIGGS.
A Handsome Compliment for Dawson’s
Young Jurist.
Sunday morning’s Macon Telegraph
contained this: *Judge J. M. Griggs, of
the Pataula circuit, hus presided in Bibb
superior court for the two weeks just
past and will return tomorrow and con
tinne the court for the disposition of
the business, as Judge Bartletv has not
tyet sufficiently rcco-ered to preside.
Judge Griggs is a new map upon the
bench, but had served as solicitor-gen
eral of his circuit unti} elected recently
by the legislature, and is doubtless the
youn test judge in the state; but he has
made 2 most favorable impression upon
the Macon bar and people. He has con
‘ducted the business of the court in such
a manner as to give general satisfaction,
ruling prcmptly and fairly i? cases in
wolving intricate questions of law, expe
diting the business of the court, and by
his courteous manner winning the esteem
of counsel and li igan!s. Judge Griggs
has made many friends in Macon, who
wi!l watch his future career with inter
est, and expect him to attain even greater
honors in the public service.”
