As before mentioned in THe NEwS,
a motion was adopted at the last meeting
of the city council to hayve the census of

the city subject to street tax and who
they are. The codneil also desired to
know the exact population of the city.
Messrs. G. M. Roberts and C. G. Lewis
were employed to take the census, and
they have completed the work. Mr. Rob
erts tells THE NEws chat there are 2,540
in habitants in Dawson, and that there
are 126 more negroes than whites, The
whites number 1,207, and the negroes
1,383.
DEATH OF MRS. WALTER GURR.
She Passed Away After Several Weeks of
Buffering.
Mrs. Walter Gurr, a lady loved and
esteemed by all who knew her, died at
the home of her husband, pear Dawson,
on Tuesday night.,
Her married life was a brief one—but
little over two years—and 1t is a sad
thought that one who was the bride of a
day. as it were, should be taken so soon
from her loved ones.
From early girlhood Mrs. Gurr had
been an exemplary member of the Bap
tist church, uniting with the church a%
Bronwnod in her fourteenth year.
Mrs. Gurr was only 22 years of age,
but in her short life had entwined
about her the love of all who knew
her.
She lcaves a strickem husband and a
three-weeks-old infant t) mourn the loss
of a devoted wife and an affectionate
mother. :
A large circle of friends extend sym
pathy to the sorrowing ones. |

REMAINS IN GEORGIA. |

MR. MORGAN DID NOT RETURN AS
A PRISONER.
Governor Northen Refused a Requisition.
Something About the Case--Will 3
Sue for Damages.
Much interest was manifested in the
city Thursday over a local item which
appeared in the Constitution of that day,
which was to the effect that a Cincinnati
detective was there after a requisition
from Governor Northen for one Willlam
Morgan, a prominent young man of
Dawson, who was wanted in the Queen
City on the charge of embezzlement.
The man wanted was Mr. W. C. Mor
gan, who moved 1o Dawson from Fort
‘Gaines several weeks age, and who, by
;his pleasant maoners and gentlemanly
bearing, has made many friends here.
1t was stated that Morgan had caught
a prominent firm in Cincinnati for a
large amount, and that for more than a
year the detective has been on his trail.
Recently he was located in Dawson and
Chief Savage was wired to arrest him,
which he refused to'do, after getting
legal advice, without a warrant. This
did not please the Cincinnati parties, and
they sent a detective to Georgia to arrest
and carry him back. ‘»
It app2ars, however, ‘that the case is
simply one of debt, and on this showing
Governor Northen refused to grant the
requ'sition, and the detective has return
turned to Cincinnati. '
Mr. Morgan was seen and asked for an
explanation of the report.
He insists that it is an attempt a*
blackmai), and has already taken steps
for legal redress.
Several years ago he failed in business
‘in Fort Gaines, and among his creditors
iwas the Cincinnati firm which is now
after him. In trying to effcct a settie
ment he became involved in a difficulty
with a representative of the house, and
to this he attributes the attempt to give
him trouble, He says he has neveri.een
an employe of the house, as stated, and
as for that matter mever even lived in
Cincinnati.
Prior to his return to Georgia last fall
he was connected for nearly a year with
‘a large retail house on State street Chi
cago.
He says that the firm that asked his
arrest could easily have found him at
any time, as his whereabouts were never
concealed. Mr. Morgan has employed
Judge J. H. Guerry, of Dawson, and Col.
F. B. Dillard, of Fort Gaines, and wil
institute suit for damages against the
Cincinnati concern. He says it is onlya
case of debt, and in no manner can em
bezzlement be charged.
| THE GUARDS TO CAMP,
To Go te Griffin Early in June and Spend
a Week.
There will be in the next few weeks
much activity among the volunteer sol
diery of Georgia over the encampment
which begins this year at Griffin on the
21st of May. All the arrangements have
been made as to the time when the sev
eral companies shall go there, and the
governor has approved them., Many in
provements have been made on the
grounds and there will not be so much
grubbing of stumps required of the boys
as on their first visit. From May 21st to
May 30th the Second Regiment will beat
camp Northen with Col. C. M. Wiley as
post commandant.
From June sth to June 14th, the Fourth
regiment, infantry; Fifth regiment, in
fantry; and First battallion, cavalry,
mounted. These will be as follows: The
Adbany Guards, Atianta Rifles, Atlanta
Zouaves, Brunswick Light Rifieren,
Capital City Guards, Dawson Guards,
Fort Gaines Rifles, Hiberman Rifles, La-
Grange Light Guards, Newnan Guards,
Thomasville Guards, Valdosta Videttes
and Waycross Rifles, The mounted
!companies are as tollows: Gordon
‘Troops, Governor’s Horse Guards, Rich
‘mond Hussais and Troup Hussars.
With the date of the encampmen: fixed
and the arrangement of the tours perfac
ted, the military boys are all happy and
can begin to anticipate the joys of camp
ing at Camp Northen inal the beauty of
fresh spring. The Fifth Reziment Band
of Atlanta has been secured for the en
tire encampment. This is an \enlisted
band, and its members are soldiers of
the state. The same per diem as last
year will be allowed both the officers
and men, and the regnlations enforced
during the camp of 1893 will be in force
this year.

HOKE SMITH FOR. TURNER.
THE SECRETARY TO BACK THE
SOUTH GEORGIAN FOR SENATOR.
The administration at Washington ; Be-,
lieved to Favor His Election--The . .
Secretary Believed to Be a i
Little Out With SBpeak- .
er Crisp.
Atlanta, Ga., March 22.—The follow
ing in the Washington correspondence
of the Evening Journal tocay caused a
good deal of remark in political circles;
“It continues to vause comment bere
that the papers in Judge Crisp’s district,
and the agencies in Washingtou that are:
peculiarly favorable to him, are trying
in every way to throw. obliquity upon
the patriotic South Georgians, who des
sire to see their gifted son, Judge Tur
“ner, elevated to the senate. They have
) not stopped at this, but even go so far as
to attack Judge Turner on the ground
that he is running for two offices,
ABSURD ON ITS FACE. ;
- *“This is ‘absurd on its face. The ton
vention of his .friends, which was held
practically without his knowledge, de
manded that he be renominated for con
gress in any event when they announced
him as worthy to represent the state in
the senate. So far as Mr.. Turner is per
sonally conserned, he has omly stated
that if the people of the state desired to
elevate him to the higher body he would
esteem it a great bonor. -His friends
have put him in both races. This they
certainly had a right to do without their
motives being questioned. -
CRISP IN THREE RACES.
“Cortainly not by the friends of Judge
Crisp, for the charge could be made
against him with equal truth, that he-is
in three races. It is known that Crisp
desires re-election to the House. It is
also known that his fiiends here are al
ready laying pipes to re elect him speak
el if the democrats should control - the
next House. If the democrats lose ‘the
next House he will be brought forward
‘as an active candidate to succeed Sena
‘tor Colquitt, The effort of the speaker’s
overzealous friends, therefore, it would
seem, is ill-timed. It is, nevertheless,
regarded by the politicians here as un
mistakable evidence that the South,
Georgian is considered the most formid
able candidate by the men most interest
ed the senatorial race.”’
HOKE BMITH FOR TURNER.
1t is saia that the Journal, backed by
Secretary Smith and the administration,
is to support Judge Turner for the sen
ate, that today’s publication shows that
he will be put forward, not Jnly at the,
regular election, but should the governor
have oecassion 10 name a successor to
Senator Colquitt. Secretary Smith is
believed to have distated the dispatch,
and on that account it has created some
thing of a political sensation, nct only
because of the attitude toward -Judge
Turner, but also on account ef .the at
tack on Speaker Crisp,
A LIVELY RUNAWAY.
A Georgia Mule Cuts Up & Characteristie
Caper.
Mr. Blackman Rauch’s mule made
things quite lively a few afternoons
ago. ‘
The mule was hitched to a wagon, and
while at the south end of Mzin street
took fright and tried to outrun the
wagon. The sbed in froot cf the old
Cheatham stand was completely demol
ished, the brick pavement io front of the
State Bank was considerably torm up,
and a hitching post was knocked dows.
A little further up the street the wagon
was badly demolished. Mr, Rauch w»as
thrown out, but, fortunately, hus injuries
were slight.
BANANAS.
They Caun Be Successfully Grown in This
Section.
In some of the yards in Dawson ba
nana trees can be found., These trees
can he made to bear bananas in this sec
tion. Mr. J. W. Harris, of Americus,
has demonstrated that faet. Last year
he gathered several bunches of fine ba
panas from trees in his yard, and he in
tend to make a display of Georgia raised
bananas at the Macon fair this fall.
A Change.
Rev. C. C. Martin requests THE NEWS

er Academy has been changed from the
