OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY.
DAWSON, GA., Mar. 13th, 1895.
/
e ————
Grover went a fishing just as soon as
congress adjourned.
Charity jdoesn’t cover a very big mul
titude of other people’s sins.
Now John L. Suilivan threatens to be
come a ter perance lecturer.
Albany is putting on her Sunday
clothes for her annual Chautauqua.
What a fitting incident for the last
day of the fifty-third congress—some
body raised the point of no quorum.
Reports go to show that southwest
G2orgia is going to have watermelons to
gell, to eat and to spare this year. The
yield will be a largejone,
When the people learn to send states
men and not politicians to ithe national
capital then, and not until then, may we
expect |free, honest and untrammeled
legislacion.
Congressman Russell and all the oth
er Georgia members except Mr. Living
ston, who was either absent or not re
corded as voting, very properly voted
azainst the sugar bounty.
Congress would not allow the world’s
fair to keep its gates open on Sunday,
yet congress kept its gates open Sunday
before it adjourned Monday, and did
the hardest day’s work of its whole
life.
A Sumter county farmer carried to
town the other day a big load of gourds
and sold them at a good price, while an
other farmer sold enough home-made
brooms to buy a mont%’'s supply of
meat.
The papers are devoting a great deal
of unnecessary space to ex-Priest Slat
tery and his lectures. Mr. Slattery has
a right to talk and those who want to
have a right to go to hear him, and that
is all there is about it.
It seems that United States Deputy
Marshal Poore is charged with some
very bad doings, and warrants have
been issued for his arrest. He is accus
ed of having fraudulently obtained mon
ey from criminals. His home is at Ca
milla, and he is said to be missing.
By a unanimous yote congress in»‘
structed ‘Mr. Crisp to appoint himself
one of the delegates to the international ‘
monetary conference, and by a rising
vote adopted a resolution offered by a
republican member thanking him for his ‘
conduct as speaker. Few men who have
presided over the Fouse of representa
tives have received a like compliment.
TaE Valdosta Times, like a great
many other papers, calls the action of
congress in voting to allow members to
draw from the treasury one hundred
dollars for their private clerks, after the
adjournment of that body, a ‘‘steal.”
The Times says that Congressman Tur
ner, during twelve years’ service, has
never had a private clerk, being unwil
ling to take ‘he oaththat one was neces
sary. .
There seems to be a sort of hankering
up in the tenth distiict for a political
love feast. An effort is being made to
restore harmony among the people.
Tom Watson wants no more strife, and
is pleading for peace. The Chronicle,
in veturn, speaks in very kind and
complimentary termsof Mr. Watson’s
eloquent and conservative speech deliv
ered in Augusta a few nights aco, and
thinks there is now no reason why Mr.
Watson should not come back to the
democretic fold. There may be an era
good feeling in the tenth yet.
The Columbus Herald has the follow
ing to say about the recent salary grab:
“The disgraceful act of congress in vot
ing the members a hundred dollars a
month, ostensibly for extra pay for clerk
hire, but which really goes into the
pockets of the members, is enough to
disgust every bounest munZin this conn
try. And in fact everybody is disgusted
from Maine to California. The last
chance for most of the members pre
sented itself to gouge the people, and
they made good use of it. It isa pleas
ure to know that many of them will soon
seek that oblivion from which they will
never be resurrected again.”
As to Tramps.
Underlying the peaceful ebb and
flow of everyday life is a vast ocean of
crank notions. The Chicago Herald has
been dredging for some of these and has
brought to the surface various startling
ones. It invited correspondence on how
to abolish tramps.
A saloon keeper did not want tramps
abolished at all. The reason he gave
was that they were wanted in elections
and could not be done without. ‘‘The
tramp is all right,”’ said the galoon
keeper. Every moral engine from poli
tics to the faith cure is suggested in The
Herald for the redemption of this crea
ture, who particularly does not want to
be redeemed. James M. Clayton says it
is the vile Democratic party and the
lowering of the tariff that produced the
tramp, and he will always be with us
till the Republicans get in and build a
tariff wall around the country as high
as the Washington monument. John
W. Baugher, on the other hand, would
stake his hope of heaven on the truth of
the assertion that the Republican party
and it only is responsible for the tramp
because of exactly that ‘‘infamously
criminal’”’ - war tariff which it kept
piled upon the country in time of peace.
There appears to be serious discrepancy
of view here.
Lem Wood comes in with a whoop
and a sun dance and tells the world that
the election of Populists to all the po
litical offices in this country will do
away with tramps because it will give
every man work at good wages. George
V. Wells is just as dead sure that Henry
George’s single tax theory liberally ap
plied will abolish the nuisance. 0. D.
Fellows says that if saloons were abol
ished tramps would be abolished too.
Certainly tramps would rather be in
sheol than in a place where there were
no saloons.
A farmer would put all the tramps
into a big field with an osage orange
hedge around it and let them fight till
they killed one another off. Fair ladies
give their recipes for destroying the
nuisance. Alice M. Cushman believes
that woman suffrage would kill tramp
ism as quick as lightning. A lady whom
The Herald reporter designates merely
as ‘‘a sensible old woman’’ says terse
ly, ‘“Wash him every day,’’ and there
are millions in the suggestion. ‘‘A lead
ing'advocate of the faith cure’’ pro
pounces that system an infallible recipe
for the evil. She has tried-it, she says.
She reformed one old incorrigible by
engaging him in solemn thought for
half an hour several times. He is now
working and is himself a distingunished
spiritual healer. A tramp who can be
made to engage 1n solemn thought for
half an hour can be made to do any
thing. Undoubtedly here is a grand
field for the triumphs of the mind and
faith curers.
Arthur Wagstaff says that Christian
ity alone can save the tramp. But Chris
tians do not seem disposed to take him
in hand.
Dr. Eugene Dubouis, a Dutch army
surgeon at Batavia, Java, is sure he has
found the missing link in that island.
He has unearthed the partial remains of
three skeletons that seem to fill all re
quirements of the link. Itisinteresting
to note that the remains were found in
the strata of the quaternary age, the one
considered by geologists to immediately
precede the appearance of man on the
earth. The skull of the skeletons found
is about two-thirds the size of the
human skull today. The teeth are
less apelike than those of the simian
tribes. The thigh bones are distinctly
like those of mankind and show that
the missing link walked erect, which is
more than some of the human race do
today. The skeletons are clearly between
that of man and the higher ape, but
‘more human than apelike. This is very
interesting information. It may be sub
mitted without offense, however, that
the missing link* is by no means so un
common that one has to travel to Java
to find it.
Ex-Senator Fair’s bones had not yet
settled peacefully in their resting place
till the lawsuits over his millions be
gan. It is great fun heaping up riches,
skimping, Iying awake nights and get
ting dyspepsia and insomnia and the
curses of all one has euchred in trade,
just to have the lawyers get the money
after one is dead. If anybody ought to
encourage millionairism, it should be
the lawyers.
Let us hand his name down to pos
terity. He is Senator A. N. Newson of
the Tennessee legislature. He has ten
dered his resignation to Governor Tur
ney because he disapproves of the ex
travagance of the legislature in appoint
ing hollow officials at §4 a day, who, he
says, do nothing but draw their salaries.
That man ought to go to caugress.
The genuine Damascus blades that

Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder

Why should the people of this conn
try toady to the oeld world socially?
Why should we not develop social
usages of our own, as refined and
gracious as those of the old world
and adapted to the free and equal citi
zens of a republic? So long as we copy,
apelike, both the clothes and customs of
European society we by that admit that
we are inferior to the people of Europe.
In nothing is this blind subserviency
to old world social notions more mani
fest than on the occasions when a for
eign nobleman purchases an American
wife. It is the custom for a man who
thus buys a title for his daughter in
Europe to settle a largesum on the hus
band. That is what the count or mar
quis stoops down from his alleged high
station and takes the plain citizen’s
daughter for. It is the custom there
for her to have a dowry when she
takes a husband, and the dowry is
often the chief inducement to the
man. It is the practice in America
for a man to be manly enough to take
a woman for herself alone, willing
and glad for the sake of his affec
tion for her to trust to his good right
hand to support her and himself too.
Why should there be any change to suit
foreigners? Why, when a foreign roue
asks the hand of an American girl,
should not her sturdy citizen father an
swer: *‘lt is not the custom in the Unit
ed States for brides to have dowries. It
is considered unmanly for a husband to
allow himself to be supported by his
wife’s money.. If you take my daugh
ter, you take her without a cent.” If
Americans had backbone enough to
stand up like that, weshould see~—well,
many million dollars that now go out
of this country as the dowries of brides
bought with a title would remain in it,
that is all.
When we want anything aone care
fully, conscientiously and in a thorough
and scholarly way, we must go to the
GGermans. A statistician who compiles
figures for the German government has
been laboring three years to find whether
one day of the seven in a week was real
ly more unlucky than another. He dis
covers that there is an unlucky day and
that it is not Friday at all, but Monday.
More mishaps have occurred then than
on any other day. He is right. Has not
“pblue Monday’’ passed into a proverb?
Who that writes for newspapers for a
living, for instance, does not find it
harder to get down to work on Monday
than on any other morning? Everybody
is tempted to sit up late and enjoy social
pleasures and also the pleasures of eat
ing and drinking on Sunday night. But
social pleasures prolonged into the night
hours are ruinous to good work. Who
does not know it? The German statis
tician has won his case. Monday is the
unlucky day.
Under the modified treaty regulations
with China a Chinese laborer may re
turn to this country and take up his res
idence again under certain conditions.
The conditions are that he leave a wife,
child or parent in this country to return
to, or that he has property here to the
value of $lOO or debts owing him equal
to that amount. In order to get back,
however, he must, on leaving register
himself with the internal revenune col
lector and record a full description of
his circumstances and property. The
registration and description papers must
be accompanied by three photographs
of the laborer, and he must get back
within a year unless detained by sick
pess or other disability that makes his
return impossible.
. So grand a cause as temperance ought
to produce better health in its advocates
than it seems to do in the cases of Miss
Willard and Lady Somerset. Both were
‘absent on account of illness when the
‘W. C. T. U. opened its late convention
in Washington.

pleveland’s $62,000,000 gold loan was

the United Statesis. It also shows how
scarce safe investments are for people
with money on both sides of the At
lantic.
“Scots, Wha Hae,”’ was by Burns. It
