Newspaper Page TextTHE NEWS. , | ‘ i Al By E. L. RAINEY, i e e e . OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY. i DAWSON, GA., Mar. 21st., 1354 ‘ —_— A TEMPEST iN A TEAPOT. r - We publish in another column of THE _ News an inane lecture from the Bain : l)'rfdge Democrat to the editor of this pa - pér on the sin of aspiring to the honora ble position of postmaster at Dawson. as well as an elaborate but somewhat lame “defense of (,‘ungresﬂnau Russell’s record. Of Mr. Russell's record Tue Nrws has nothing to say at present. That isnot now in issue. But we beg to remind the ~ esteemed gentleman who now represents " the second distriet in congress that while it is true that Baalaam's ass once spoke with wonderful effect and to the ever lasting welfave of his master, itis not given to every long-eared animal to speak & with the same intelligence, force and ‘effect that characterized the guadruped 3 which carried the mighty Baalam into ~ thefields of the Moabites. 'f}'f We have confessel to a desire for the Dawson postmastership, and we are not * ashamed of it. It is an honorable ambi ~ tion, and at one tims was the highest that animated the bosom of the gentle man who now sits in congress as our representative, We were encouraged to - apply for it not only by the words but by the illustrious exampie of the gentleman ~ himself, who handled the village mai's ~at Bainbridge during Mr. Cleveland’s - first term. But we do not propose to givé up our rights as a citizen, nor shirk = "_(‘)m‘ duty as a chronicler of the news, in * order to obtain the gentleman’s endorse- | ment for this or any other office. | Al the time our first ariicle was writ ~ ten Mr. Russell had endorsed no one for . postmaster here. He did, however, if ;‘.rumor is to be credited, hasten thereaf ~ ter to endorse another good man for the . j)osition. Does the declaration of the Demoerat, ‘“such motives are natural to - small minds,” apply to Mr. Russell’s as ;,tion in this matter? The whole affair is a tempest in a tea pot, and arose from the simple publica .~ tion of an articlein Tue NEws given solely as gossip and with no intention of . arousing any antagonism to Mr. Ruassell, _or of lacerating the somewhat exposed ~and apparently tender breast of the ~ Bainbridge Democrat’s managing edit r. THE TARIFF BI.L. % . The tariff bill has not yet been report ~ed to the senate by the finance commit tee, & Itfs being considered by the full com mittee, and the republicans are trying to - persuade the democrats to make changes. - Up to date none have been made, but the republicans, assisted by Senator HiJl and @ few other democrats, are managing to ‘delay things. Just when the bill will be. _reported no one knows, but perhaps not | (Qater than this week. i "It has been discovered since the senate committee put a duty on sugar that an-l other change will have to be made to l make this effective. Under the reciproc ity clause of the McKinly bill, Presideut ~ Harrison formuiated treaties with Cuba, Germany and several South American ~ countries by which their produc*ions of . sugar should be admitted free. . These treaties will have to be abrogated or else the sagar dulies in the-new bill will amount to nothing. . Nobody seems to have thought of this unb il recently. | If the bill should finally | l)‘écome alaw with a duty on sugar, it '-’ will be necsssary for the president to be ' . given authority by congress toabrogate these treaties, or else the duty on sugar iill 2:aount to nothing. b > . e ——— . N ABUUT PUBLIC SCHOOLS. "%7517 legisla uie has to tinker with | )' school law, and, strange tol 4, 7, they usunally leave it in a muddle. ‘ ‘ The last legislature passeda bill which | intended t» change and simplify the ! qf: ire system, so that there would be no l further trouble. The object sought to| : ‘ accomplished was to grade the teach- ‘ fers and put them upon a salary instead | {}?eaving them to get their pay :\cc«.rd-‘ J-f_ o the number of pupils in aueud-! ance i 4{”“ 1 e proper construction of this law | ‘deft it doubtful whether the county‘ boards of education were authorized to contract with teaghers for a sa'ary ov on the oid plan, Commissioner Bradwell held that all teachers should be under contract for salary, especially so if they would receive Ynarterly payments. A case was appealed from Forsyth county involving the application of the new law, and the state board overruled the com missioner’s decision and held that coun ty boards have the power to pay cither a salaly or upon average atiendance, in their discretion. The teachers are entitled to draw their pay after the first of Apiil. W AT ‘ A NEW SCHEME. . . The senatorial race in Georgia appears to be a'subject of lively Interest amongst { the Georgia congressmen at Washington, and, from all veports, the matter is right badly iangled at that end cf the line. According to a Washington correspond ent, the members of the Georgia delega tion have evolved a pew scheme. It is to have a senator nominated by the state democratic convention when it meets to nominate a governor and state house officers. Nearly every representative is reported as being favorable to the plan. Tue News agrees with the Albany Herald when it says “‘itis not at all prob able that the people of Georgia will de part from the custom that has prevailed in the democratic party of the state here tofore, however, and even if the state convention were to assume the right to make a nomination it would not be bind ing upon the general assembly, anc the members of the latcer body would be almost sure t) reseat having their action forestalled in any such manner.” Tug first joint debate will occur at Griffin today, After listening to the thunders of applause following the hal lelujah licks put in by the general, M. Atkinson will be convinced that he is not the choice of “the whole people.”” That yell will not come from the ‘‘Atlanta ring,”” but from the woolhat, cowbelly shod boys of the raral districts,those who follow the plow and pick the cotton and split the rails; and it will be convincing argument with lifted voice that the At lanta ring is not in it when it comes to claiming the nomination of General Evans. | HERE is an interesting item from the Calhoun Courier: *‘lt will be news to the people of the second district to learn from Congressmin Russell’s home organ that the Chicag) platform does not favor free silyer. Wonder if Uncle Ben, whose name flies at its masthead as elitor, is willing to father the statement of the Bainbridge Democrat that ‘‘iree silver failed in the Chicago cmvention; failel before the people, and it has failed in congress. It canun)t grow strong.”’? SENATOR CorQuiTT has been with the people and for the people on all the great issues. If true devotion to their inter ests and wishes is worth anything, i will be a hard matter to convince the people that he should be repudi ated. True devotion to duty is not mean ingless, and it will cut a figure in the campaign. WHILE the Macon Telegraph is tear ing its hair over General Evan’s candida cy the people of Georgia are aflame with in‘erest in his cause. The mountains are speaking to the wiregrass, and the general is a coming. Our Macon com temporary may possess its soul in pa tience. This is not the colonel’s year, THE bank of Americus and the Plan. ters’ bank of Ellaville are examples of what Mr. Cleveland would denom'n ‘e ¢ inancial repose.”’—Americus Times-Re corder. Well, that beats all! How is Mr. Cleveland responsibie for the Eila ville bank being robbed by an individual? TaE Macon Telegraph says it hasn’t seen a sinjle good r2asoa why Mr. At kinson should no be governor. If the Telegraph will lend an ear, TuE NEwS will -give it one. Ii is this: thereisa better man running., | Tue Atkinson organs have revived th: talk of a third candidate. They a-e awakening to the fact that they are chasing a forlorn h pe, and are wildy wishing for another man to pit against the general. THE people are not needing at this time a ‘‘nicely trimmead politician”’ for governor, but a min who meets all the | gualifications of perfeet man ‘hood. They find the latter in Clement A. Evans. Hox. F. G. pußieNoN speaks confi dently of his prospects in the senatorial race. Mr. dußiguon is bold, brainy and popular, and 1s going to have a large an 1 enthusiastic followinz. | “TruTH ecrushed to earth will rise agiin,” and those nawspapers claiming : the state for Colonel Atkinson will wake up some morning and find Clemen: A. | Evans governor of Georgia. I As before remarked in these columns, manufactories bring people to towns, and people make prosperous cities. That's why Dawson sh uld have a cotton factory. Tur articies of he Biinbridge Demo crat ave given publicity here. If the Democrat cared to be fair it would re ciprocate at the other end of the line. TuERE is meat in the smoke house, - Plenty of corn inthe crib; The farmer laughs at cotton, As he eats backbone and rib. Mz. CLELVELAND must face the Bland bill. It passed the senate Thursday by a vote of 44 to 31. Senator Colquitt was i present and voted for the bill. i ——— ' Macox has got her exposition project mixed with politics,and a lively wrangle is on hand. Macon should get together if she intends to have a show. | Mgr. TUBNERis catching dinky in some quarters for running for two offices at the same time. Lot’s of the boy’s have their knives out. MAJor BAacoxN has been formally put on the senatorial track, He's going to prove a fast racer, too. Mg. ArkiNsoN will speak to a big crowd to-day. General Evans will be there. CoroNEL T.

TuHE NEws further knows that he was elected not to get post offices filled by demcrats so much as he was to repre sent the people in the Halls of congress on the pending issues which are more vital to every citizen in the district and state and nation than the Dawson post office is to you! however much you may want it. THE NeEws also knows that in this duty Cougressman Russell has never failed in a single inscance, but has made as much reputation during the time he nas been in congress as any ne ¥ member from the south or the narth. “Tue NEews further knows that the policy of the present administration is -and has been in favor of the civil service bill—in pursuance of its oath of office, and if the Dawson republican postmaster has not been ousted it was because of this law—coupled with the failure of yourself and your endrsers and the other good people of Dawson fo make it appear that he was an offensive partisan and unworthy of the trust repo-ed. “Rather *‘cuss your ill-luck, Brother, and give our congressman credit for what he has done. “Ask, Bainbridge, Alban#® Alapaha, Tifton, Camilla, Whigham and a large number of smaller places whether his ef forts in their behalf were successful when they had made outsuch a case as would justify the administration in re moving an offensive partisan. “Neither is it the poliey of the Demo crat to inject personalities into political discussions—and not even to oblige THE NEws will we descend to that level, and its good or bad opinion of us is a matter of no concern to its readers or ours, and much less so to us—but before we dis miss this subject we beg to suggest that anless you like crow you talk less, for vou are certain to have to yield Mr. Rus sl your support, after the district con .ention again puts the party standard in I:is”g,lrallant hands—as it will certainly do.
