WE MUST HELP.
Every man in Dawson insists that we
meed more factories here. A truth is
uttered every time the assertion is made,
but we cannot expect to get something
for mothing. There are now two or three
wanufacturing concerns that desire to
soame to Dawson, but they naturally ask
that our people share the investment
with them. We must take hoid of these
enterprises if we would secure them.
The owners of two cotton mills have
wecently made propositions looking to
whe removal of their plants here, and
they ask our people to take stock with
them. Will they do it? A meeting of
sitizens to consider these propositions
will be" held this afternoon at four
o'clock, and every citizen of Dawson is
arged to be present.
Let us start the ball to moving. Let
as get together.
THE YAWP OF A GOLDBUG.
Last week, in commenting upon the
wosition of the Buena Vista Patriot on
the financial question, THE NEws called
attention to the fact that Editor Christo
pher was howling for delinquents to pay
wp and was ready—nay. anxious—to
take silver dollavs, which he had termed
30 cents dollars, at 100 cents. That was
more than Editor Pendleton, of the Val
dosta Times, who is a goldbug with
government position attachments, could
Jet pass by and feel that he had dis
‘¢charged his full duty, so he rushed,
Sancho Panza like, to the aid of his
#rother goldbug and with one swoop of
his pen wrested controversial victory
from Ture News by characterizing our
deductions as ‘‘obtuseness unpardona
Ble.”
The Time's iteration and reiteration
i the statement that Grover Cleveland
has, byjhis action, been able to maintain
the parity of gold and silver dollars is
‘mothing more than moonshine that has
“beem indulged in by thejgold standard
adberents since the movement to strike
down the money of the common people
was successfully terminated. They sing
Grever's praise all the time and have
mothing t) say ot the goyernment and its
sredit standing behind everything we
<all money, e it silver, gold or pager.
Great stress is laid on the statement
that a gold dollar will buy two Mexican
silver dellars, and, even granting this
%e be true, what does it amoun! to?
Dees Editor Pendleton really believe
¢that a United States gold dollar will ever
buy two United States silver dollars, no
meatter how many of the latter are coined,
while ,both bear on their face the stamp
of the government? The value of the
‘Bullion may and does fluctuate, but re
store to silver the position aund rights it
had before it became the puppet of fi.
mawpcial sharks and legislative encroach
‘ments and its value will go bounding up.
Before President Cleveland’s term
‘began the silver dollar was worth one
Wundred cents, today it is still worth
one bundred cents, and /if the defunct
and anlamented congress had provided
for its greater covinage it would still be
“worth one hundred cents.
©uckooism runs riot in the minds of
administration hangers-on. No matter
@ow wnany facts are brought to bear
uper them they continue to cuckoo forth
“sound imoney,” °‘‘gold,” etc., ad nau
seum. Away with such rot. Give back
te the people such coinage as broughv
‘prasperity and plenty prior to iniquitous
legislation, and again trade will brighten
and the people, the plain people, will
‘faave money to meet their oligations and
‘o fprovide for themselves and families
the mccessaries and luxuries which once
wwere theirs.
Tnx New York Journal of Commerce
s -amnecessarily disturbed about the
wredit of this state. In commenting on
¢be detter which Gov. Atkinson recently
wrote ve Comptroller General Wx"i&ht,
inguiring as to the investments lin Geor.
gia by fire and life incurance companies
deing business ‘n Georgia, it says: ‘“‘This
elfert to coerce life and fire companies
uato buying Ceorgia bonds will do muck
@ hurt the credit of the state, and it s
Z“mexplicable that such cheap politics
*skowld govern and influenca the mind of

'tamt a duty as is indicated by Goveruor
<Atkinson.”

VAWSON SLANDERED.
The town of Morgan, county seat of
Callioun county, is discussing most vig
orously the pros and cons as to the
town council of that place lhicensing the
sale of whisky within the corporation,
Mr. S. N. McGuirt, whoever that may be,
in a communication to the Calhoun Coun
ty Courier, urging the council not to
legalize the whisky trafiic, among other
things says:
“Dawson has made its brag how the
whisky traffic has buiit up Dawson. Oh!
yes; it is building candidates tor the jail,
gallows and hell faster than any town ot
its size I know."”
We do not propose to enter into a dis
cussion as to the merits or demerits of
the licensing of bars, but we do propose
to rise up and defend the fair name of
Dawson against all such foul aspersions
as are contained in the extract quoted.
It has never reached our ears that
Dawson brags of increase in size and im
portance because of the whisky sold her..
It is well known that there are only
half as many bars here now as there were
three or four yearsago, and the number
is gradually decreasing. It ;is a rare
thing to see a drunken man on our
streets. It s not the traffiic in
whisky that moves us onward. Itis the
push and public spirit of our people. No
town of similar size can point to hand
somer church edifices or a more elegant
temple of justice than Dawson. Her
people are Jaw-abiding, and are a unit in
favor of punishing law-breakers.
No, 'Mr. McGuirt, don’t attempt to put
our city up as a “‘horrible example” be
fore the people of the state. Content
yourself with the legitimate discussion
of your topic and reflect before you drag
in outside towns to bolster up your argu
ment, especially when in so doing you
misstate the facts in the case.
A LETTER in the News and Courier, of
Charleston, says:
Some time ago a South Carolina mer
chant ordered a lot of canuned goods from
New York, and on their arrival, lo! and
beheld, they provea to be goods packed
by capuing factories in his own town.
They fiad been shipped to New York and
then freighted back to the same town
w here manufactured. These goods paid
two freights, and could haye been
bought cheaper from the factory at first.
This is only one of the many illustra
tions that could be giveu of the mistake
t .at the south is making in notsavigg tLe
cost of transportation both ways. While
working for cotton mills look after the
small things.
A M)OVEMENT has been inaugurated in
this state looking to the organization of
a Georgia Association of Manufacturers,
the object of which is to materially aid
the manufacturing in‘erests of Georgia.
Those who have thoroughly investigated
this matter are convinced that this can
be very effectually :ccomplished hy a
strong permanent organizatioa, and we
very heartily commend the movement as
practical, and calculated through good
management to greatly advance the in
terests of our manufacturing resources.
GENERAL CLEMENT A. Evaxs, Com
mander of the Georgia division of United
vonfederate Veterans, in anjofficial order,
requests all camps and confederate as_Sc
ciations in the state to appoint delegates
atjonce to the grand reunion of the veter
ans to be held at Houston in May jnext.
We hope that the Georgia camps will at
tend to this matter ‘promptly. The old
Empire State should have a splendid
representation of southern veterans on
this occasion, and as many camps as can
possibly do so should go in a body.
THE cows are ‘‘giving’’ silver money
up in McDuffie county, the home of Tom
Wwatson. A few days ago Mrs. Charlie
Watson, after;milking,one of herfine Jer
says, emptied the bucket and found a
silver quarter in the botfum. Now, that
| is a knock-down argument in favor of
“free silver”” which can’'t be answered
and ought to make the goldbugs ashamed
of themselves. If that cow can keep on
furnishing sach arguments she ought to
be passed around as a campaign docu
‘ment.

MaJor HANSON isa protectionist, and
‘he believes in protection that protects—
not the kind that isanirridescent dream.
Therefore, when he gives his countenance
and suppor: to a scheme in which pro
tection is promised, he wants protestion.
And if he doesn’t get it he is going to
kick. The major’s law suit against Sen
ator Bacon is in the line of his faith.
UxcrLE SAwm still has a chip on his
shoulder, and is daring Spain to knock it
off. He ought to give Spain a drubbing
for her insolence and then annex Cuba.
Nothing else will teach the Spaniards a
proper respect for the Amearican flag.
SomE people areawfully easy to please.
This is evident from the fact that fre
quently some correspondent quotes that
“John Smith is wearing a broad smile
‘this week on account of a new arrival at J
his house.”” Now, nothing less than the
receipt of asilver dollar at this office will
put a Sanday smile, on the editor’s face.
Now is the time to subscribe.
VeRY little has been heard lately from
Miss Anna Dickinson, the ape-time re
publican lecturer, but sheis to the front
again with a suit for the modest sum of
$125,000 damages against the Pennsyl
vania asylum for the insane at Danville,
Pa., for false impris mment. Miss Dick
inson had been confined in the asylum
for five weeks.
Cown. Buck, of Atlanta,)who is credited
with carrying the republican party of
Georgia in his coat-tail pocket, is a Maine
man. The inference is, therefore, that
he would naturally favor Tom Reed for
the republican presidential nomination,
for the sake of old times. The McKinley
boomers think different, however.
McKINLEY, thinks the Macon News,
followed a dangerous precedent in com
ing to Georgia, David B. brought his
apiary this way and it swarmed.
IT would be a bonanza if a cotton mill
and other industries were erected in
Dawson. They would pay better than
selling goods on credit.

Mrs. Lease will not be mayor of
Wichita. Mary has her bands full al
ready and can’t devote her time to mu
nicipal affairs. Mr. Lease continues to
do the mending. e also nurses the
baby.
—There wers 4,612 suicides in this
country last year. Nearly one half were
caused by despondency, 459 by insauity,
218 by liquor, 290 by ill health, 241 by
domestic troubles, 232 by disappointed
love, 122 by business losses, and 1310
were unknown.
—Spain is not a gay place for editors.
If one of them attacks a soldier he is
tried by a court-martial and he is lucky
if Le gets off with a whole hide. We no
tice that there is no great disposition
among American editors to move to
Madrid.
-—Springer and Kilgore get life-time
jobs as United Stated judges in the In
dian Territory. The places are very
clever, indeed, and a man, barring the so
ciety he will have, can make the balance
of the journey pleasantly enough. A
life time job is what we all pine for—
when it carries a good round annuity
with it.
—When a woman wants a letter she
wants it bad. If there are any who want
proof of this fact, it is furnished by two
deaths that occurred last week—one at
Boston and the other at Chicago. A
young woman went to a DBoston hotel
and waited two days for a letter. Be
cause it did not come she committed
suicide. ,L A woman went to the Sherman
house, in Chicago, waited twelve hours
for a letter, and because it did not come
she drowned*herself. -
That Woman Preacher.
From the Richlan:l Paper. i
Mrs. Smith is evidently a crank. She
talks like one, looks like une and acts
like one. She is full up on preaching.
She had as soon preach to the negroes of
Dawson, which she did from the court
house steps and the pulpit of a nearo
church, as to the wvhite people of Rich
land. It is io be hoped that she means
well. But the Paper can’t but believe
that such characters as she are railures
in the special roles they assume. Woman
has a diyine mission under the scriptures.
Mrs. Smith and her kind should go
home, care for their families if they
have any, nurse the sick, administer to
the needy and whisper words of sweet
hope and comfort to the heavy hearied.
Ten to one if they pursue this course,
and their own life is such as to warrant
or induce confidence, they will accom
plish more good for mankind aud do a
grander work for God than all the wo
men in chistendom could hope to do as
preachers.
Cabaniss’ and Russell’s Favorites.
From a Washington Special.
Mr. Cabaniss is busy predicting presi
dontial nominations and has big odds
placed on Allison. Fresh from the south,
he does not think that section will give
McKinley anything, but that Allison will
capture the delegation from nearly every
sfate. - Ben Russell, if he has any choice
among{the republicans, is an ardent{Reed
man, He aund Cabaniss got into a heated
argument at the Metropolitan today
backing their favorite candidates. One
would have though’ they expected cabi
net portfolios could he have heard them
extolling the virtues of Reed and Allison
respectively.
