OEFICIAL PAPER OF TERRELL COUNTY.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF CITY OF DAWSON.
T e LLR s
DAWSON, GA., Seer. 28TH, 1898,
e S —————————————————
WHERE 70 VOTE.
Next Wednesday voters will cast their
ballots in a state election the second
time under the registration law. It is
important tor them to remember that
if the voting precinct of their district
is in an incorporated town they must
vote there; they cannot vote at the
court house. In districts where
the precinct 1s not in an incorporated
town they can vote at the court house
by taking an oath that they have not
voted elsewhere.
This 1s the interpretation of the law
given by Attorney-General Terrell,
who says: ‘“Every person whose name
is upon the hst of registered voters
may vote at the election precinct of
the militia district or city ward in
which he resides; also a person
may vote at the county site precinct if
no election precinct is established or
opzned in the militia district or city
ward in which he lives, and also a
person may yote at the county site if
he resides in a mlitia district in which
the electiom precinct for the same 18 sit
uated outside of an incorporated town;
in the latter instance the managers are
required to administer an oath to the
effect that the person has not voted
elsewhere in that election.”
Undeér this ruling of the attorney
general the registered voters of Daw
son, Bronwood and Parrott districts
rsust vote at their own precincts,
while those of the Twelfth, Eleventh,
Third and New Eleventh districts canp
vote at the eourt house by taking an
oath that tney have not voted at their
nome precinets, |
IN commending the action of the
thirty-four young men of Brunswick
who, smarting under the indifference
of the Brunswick girls while the sol
diers were camped there, have organ
-Ized themselves into a retaliation clnb,
the Moultrie Observer says: ‘‘The
boys are half right. A girl that will
Jilt a stable, sober business man for a
fellow that has joined the army for the
sake of a blue uniform and $l3 a month
salary deserves no better fate in life
than to remain at home and ‘dry up
on the stalk’ with nothing to comfort
her save the house cat and the sad
memory of what might have been.” ‘
Tar ‘“national’’ democratic party,i
which was organized 1n 1896 for thel
purpose of affording gpolitical : asylum ‘
to the gold-standard or “sound money"’
democrats who bolted the nominations
made at Chicago that year and sup
ported Palmer and Buckner, has
gone into liquidation. The only as
sets remaining are Hon. W. D, Bynum,
chairman, and the platform upon which
Palmer and Buckner starred the coun
try in the presidential campaign, and
now Mr. Bynum threatens to go over
to the republican party for the reason
that he believes the silverites will ‘in
1900 reaflirm the Chicago platform and
renominate Bryan. »
TuE Atlanta Journal has changed its
weekly into The Semi~Weekly Jour

Both the daily and weekly Journal

growth. Tar News welcomes the
semi-weekly into the field, and wishes

IN making mention of Congressman
Griggs' speech in that place the Moul
trie Observer says: ‘“His talk lasted
for more than an hour and commanded
the keenest interest from the beginning
to the conclusion. Judge Griggsis a
plain and fearless statesman,and never
hesitates to speak out his convictions,
He is a clever fellow and a fluent
speaker, and crowds always gather to
hear him, '
Tue triendship of England and other
European pations for the United
States increases in exact proportion as
the United States demonstrates that it
1s capable of looking after Its own in
terests,
Six thousand additional soldiers are
under sailing orders for Manila and
the battleships Oregon, and Towa are
being overhauled in the New York
navy yard and will steam for the Pa
cific as speedily as possible. That is
rews, It isindicative of the fact that
the war authorities are not sure that
the troubles growing out of the Phil
ippine question are at an end.
ITis now pretty definitely settled,
observes the Sparta Ishmaelite,
that Shafter’s ‘‘Santiago heroes” suf
fered terribly for the want of ice
cream, champagne, mince pies, barbe~
cue, chicken pie and other like neces
saries of life. And most of them were
probably suffering for these necessa
ries when they enlisted.
TrHE tendency to refer all elections
to the people is right. Vote next
Wednesday for the constitutional
amendment that will provide for the
election of judges and solecitors by
popular vete.
TeE remains of Miss Winnie Davis
were buried at Richmond Friday with
imposing ceremonies. Distinguished
citizens and large delegations were
present from all parts of the south.
THE reduction of $2.00 on the thou
sand in the county tax rate is appre
ciated by the people. It speaksa care
ful and economical administration by
the commissioners,
WE are hearing nothing of that
cardinal” business just now. Post
ponement of its discussion until after
the election was proper.
THE state tax rate in Georgia in
1887 was $2.60 on the thousand and for
1898 it is $6.21 on the thousand.
Something is the matter.
SoME politicians, and others too, for
that matter, who claim to be self-made
men were evidently interrupted before
the job was completed.
TERRELL county must give Colonel
Candler and the other democratic
nominees a rousing majority uext
Wednesday.
HoreruL democratic journals have
begun to figure up a democratic ma
jority 1n the next congress.
ADMIRABLE DEWEY's signature may
be awful, but he is able to make his
mark just the same. :
THERE is tOO much apathy among
democrats. Up and at the enemy.
ApMIRAL CERVERA Was received with
cheers upon his arrival in Spain.
- Has Cause to Be Proud.
From the Tifton Gazette,
Congressman Jim Griggs opened his
campaign in Boston recently. He has
no « pposition, but the boys want to see
him and swap jokes with him, so he's
going around. The second has cause for
being proud of Jim Griggs,
The Unmated Sexes in Georgia,
A recently published matrimonial
chart shows that Georgia possesses 98,-
795 baclielors of a more or less desirable
class, while' 56,670 specimens of the
gentler sex still sail life’s sea under their
original names,

( When a man has been
wY living in too big a hurry,
when he has worked
himself out, when he
has got so that he does
e not sleep or eat, or rest,
and the whole world looks gloomy to him,
it is time for him to take medicine. Then,
when he is braced up a bit, it is 'time
enough for him to take to the bicycle.
When a man’s nerves have an edge on
them, so that the least little disappoint
ment rasps on his temper like a file, when
his stomach and liver and nerves are de
ranged, and he is continually gloomy and
melancholy, he should take Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. It makes a
man as hungry as a fisherman and sees to
it that all the vital elements of the food are
absorbed into the blood. It braces up the
liver and puts it to work in the right way.
It drives all bilious impurities from the
system. It fills flesh, nerves, brain cells,
sinews and bones with the life-giving ele
ments of rich, red, pure blood. It makes
a man healthy and then a bicycle will
make him strong. Medicine dealers sell
it, and have nothing ‘ just as good.”
i Thr()u§h your skillful treatment I am once

Gandy, Logan Co., Neb. :** I suffered for ¥ears
with goustxfpation and torpidity of the liver,
irritation of the prostate and inflammation of
the bladder. I took six bottles of ‘Golden
Medical Discovery’ and ‘ Pleasant Pellets’ and
am permanently cured. You have been the
means of saving my life.”
A man or woman who neglects
constipation suffers from slow
poisoning. Dr. Pierce’'s Pleasant
Pellets cure constipation. One
little ‘‘Pellet”’ is a gentle laxa

All medicine dealers sell them.
No other pills are ‘‘just as good.”’

Charged 85 for ¢Sass,” !
A story is told of Fanny Kemble, |
whose favorite summer resort w:s Le-{
nox, that on her first season there she
employed a self-respecting willager, who .
had a comfortable turnout, to drive her |
about, says the Boston Record. He, ‘
feeling it to be his-duty to make the
drive as entertaining as possible, began
to call her attention (o the beauty of
the scenery—which she wished to enjoy
undisturbed --and to tell her who lived
in certain houses as they passed along,
until finally Mrs, Kemble, being unable
1o stand it any longer, said, in the high
tragedy maoner somewhat peculiar to
her: I have engaged you to drive for
me, sir, and not to talk.”
The driver ceased talking, pursed up
his lips, and in all their subsequent
drives bis only remarks were such as he
found necessary to address to the horses.
At the end of the season he handed in
his bill for the summer’s services. Run
ning her eye down the awkward columns
she paused at an item that she didn’t
understand . ‘‘What is this, sir? I can
not comprehend it.”’ With equal gravity
he replied: ‘‘Sass, $5. I don’t often
take it, but when I doI charge.’’ She
paid the bill without comment, and con
tinued to employ the same driver during
many summers she spent there.
A Clergyman Explains.
A clergyman lately addressed his
female auditors as follows: ‘‘Be not
proud that the blessed Lord paid your
sex the distinguished compliment of
appearing first to a female after his
resurrection, for 1t was done that the
glad tidings might spread sooner.”’
For broken surfaces, snres, insect bites,
burns, skin diseases and especially piles
there is one reliable remedy, DeWitt’s
Witch Hazel Salve, When you cali for
DeWitt’s don’t aceept counterfeits or
frands You will not be disappointed
with DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve.
