DAWSON'S DAUGHTERS
1 J
OF THE CONFEDERACY.
LADIES ORGANIZE THE MARY BRANTLY
CHAPTER IN DAWSON.
The Name Is in Honor of the Wife of
the First Soldier from This Section
to Fall in Battle. ‘
In resnonse to the call of Mrs. B. H.
Hood, chairman of the local Memorial |
Association, & number of ladies came
together at the court house Thursday
afternoon for the purpose of taking
steps to organize a chapter of the,
UUnited Daughters of the Confed
eracy in this county. There was
<ome misunderstanding as to the date
of the meeting, and for this reason the
attendance was not as large as it oth
erwise would have been.
The meeting was organized with
Mrs. Hood as chairmanand Miss Laura
Tyner secretary. The ladies pr2sent
unanimously expressed their hearty
sympathy with the movement and their
determination to make it a success.
The chapter was organized with Mes-l
dames B. H. Hood, J. D. Laing, W. R.
Melton, M. I. Harrell, C. F. Harreil
and Misses Birdie Cliatt and Laura
Tyner as charter members, and as soon
as a charter is obtained"permanent or
canization will be perfected. f
A charter will be applied for in the |
name of the Mary Brantly Chapter of
the United Daughters of the Confed
eracy. This name was suggest
ed by Mrs. Hood, and the reas
ons for the suggestion given, Mrs-l
Brantly was the mother of Mr. Tom
Allen of this city, and her husband
was the first.soldier who went from
this section to fall in a battle, he being
the color bearer of his regiment. ‘
One of the reasons for organizing a
chapter of the order in Terrell county, |
as stated in last week's NEWS, is to be- |
stow upon local veterans the cross of |
hounor, an insignia of bravery and he-|
roism that is only conferred by the |
Daughters of the Confederacy. The |
ladies l.lope to obtain these medals of 1
honor for the veterans of Terrell coun

of the severe iliness of the writer’s

the school is to be operated in opposi

session here by authority of the
board of education. This is ra.t,her‘

STEVENS TESTI i
Tells Industrial Commission That
| i
30 Per Cent. of Georgia Farm
ers Own Their Homes.
W ASHINGTON, March 15.—00. B.
Stevens, commissioner of agriculture
’of the state of Georgia, testified before
the industrial commission today con
cerning the progress of farming in the
state, which, he said, had been espe
cially marked during the past two
years. In that time there had been a
great advance in the use of improved
machinery on the farm.
The maximum wages for labor, Mr.
Stevens said, is $l5 per month and the
minimum $5.
He had, he said, never seen a time
when a man who wanted work could
not get it., There was no disposition to
prevent colored tenants becomingown
ers of their farms, and there were
many insvances of such ownership. Nor
was there any disposition on the part
of white land owners to oppress col
ored tenants or laborers, but Mr. Stev
ens considered the tenant system a
bad one. He also said that Georgia is
not seeking labor immigration, but
that the state does invite immigrants
who will buy land and make homes and
become an integral part of the com
monwealth.
He said also that the condition of
the farmers of the state might well be
understood by the fact that 30 per cent
of all the familie; in the state of Geor
gia own their own farms, and thatover
90 per cent of this ownership is unin
cumbered in any way.

" THE IRWIN AND LAWSON FAMILIES.
l GRAVES STATION, March 16.— ED-
I TOR NEwS : lam requested to write
‘the history of the Irwin and Lawson
families,and to show their relationghip.
My great grandfather, Hugh Irwin,
came from Ireland and settled first in
Mecklenburg county, N. C., but later
came to Burke county, Georgia, then
the parish of St. George (see White's
Historical Collections of Georgia, page
283). He had four children (see Dr. J.
I. Irwin’s History ¢f the Irwin Family,
page 4), one girl and three boys, Mar-
Zaret, Jared, John and William. Wil
liam was my maternal grandfather. The
three brothers moved from Burke to
Washington county, Georgia, and were
among the first settlers of the county,
and my grandfather, William Irwin, was
a member of the first grand jury Wash
ington county ever had. The firstsu
perior court was held May 22, 1787, with
his honor Henry Osborne as judge
(see White’s Historical Collections of
Georgia, page 678).
Jared Irwin married a Miss Stewart,
relative of General Stewart, for whom
Stewart county was named. He was
twice elected governor, first serying
from 1796 to 1798, and again from 1806
to 1809. John Irwin married Miss Re
becca Sessions, daughter of Joseph
Sessions the first ard sister of Joseph
Sessions the second and Captain Ben
jamin who:Sessions, carried a company
from Washington county to the Indian
war in 1815. He married Miss Mary |
Berry Lawson.
Grandfather William Irwin married
Miss Nancy Whitaker of Jefferson
county, a sister to Benjamin Whitaker,
who was speaker of the house of repre
sentatives fifteen years. Miss Sarah
Whitaker, sister of my grandmother
and Benjamin Whitaker,married Hugh
Lawson the first. After his death she
married a Mr. Glenn. Hugh Lawson
the first was one of a committee to se
lect a site for the public school in 1801,
and the present university at Athens, ,
Ga., is that place and his name is’
carved on a tablet of marble with the
names of the committe that located and l
superintended the building. Hugh!i
Lawson the fiist had a son, Hugh the!
second, who was a first cousin to my |
sainted mother, Miss Rebecca Lawson |
Irwin. Hugh the second came to!
Houston county and settled in the vi
cinity of Dempsey and Stephen Brown
on the road leading from Old Travel- |
ers’ Rest to Hawkinsville. He mar- |
ried Miss Penelope Franks, and was
president of the Georgia state senate
for fifteen years. He raised a large
family, several of whom are stiil liv
ing. '
The Lawsons, too, were from Ireland.
Margaret Irwin, a sister to the three
Irwin brothers, married Mr. James
Darby of Washington county, Georgia.
Seyeral of her descendants are still
living there. Governor Jared Irwin
had four children, Jared the second;
John, “*Light Horse John,” the syno
nym of politeness and gallantry; Isa
bel and Jane. Both of the boys gradu
} ated in the first class at Atheus. Isa
| bel married William ‘Whitaker, who
had a son named Jared Irwin Whita
ker, who was editor of the Atlanta In
telligencer and was many times solic
ited to become a candidate for govern
or. Jane ne’er married, as she thought
a little more of the name Irwin than
any other. Jobn Irwin the first, one of
‘the brothers, had two sons, William
'and Alexander. Williamm became a
general in the Indian war of 1836 and
commanded at the battle of Irwinton,
‘now Llufaula, Ala. Übpcle Archie Mec-
Neal, who lived and died a few years
ago just south of Dawson, was with him
throughout the campaign, and told the
writer that General Irwin was as great,
grand and gallant a man as ever
charged the enemy, and that all his
o!d soldiers were opposed to the name
Irwinton being changed to that of Eu
faula or any other. He married his
cousin, Miss Margaret Gamble, and
moved to Shorterville, Ala. He was
drowned in the Chattahoochee river in
1850. The steamboat took fire, and
being a good swimmer he jumped over
board with $B,OOO in gold upon his per
son His body was toud, but the gold
—many tales were told about that
Alexander Irwin, his brother, mar
ried Miss Margaret Moore Lawson, a
daughter of Andrew Lawson. He was
the grandfather of Colonel Jno. R. Ir
win of Dawson, one of the fourth gen
eration of the family. The three
brothers and wives, their sister and
ber husband, together with many of
their children and grandchildren, have
long since slept in the Irwin cemetery
at Union Hill, and in sight of the iden
tical house in which Govervor Jared
Irwin lived and died; yes, in that sol
emn pile genius sleeps in dreams of de
light. Gentle readeryit is like passing
over the Niagara Falls to step from
the shoulders of my ancestry to my
own. My little head becomes dizzy at
the thought. I have passed my 62nd
mile-stone. and already has withering I
age showered his sterile snows upon
my brow, and upon my temple longl
since has the finger of time writcen, !
“Passing away.” This genial warmth |
which still iingers may soon be chilled !
forever. Haply, this frail compound
of dust which may have given birth to
naught but unprofitable seeds may yet
form an humble sod of the valley from l
whence may spring many asweet, wild
flower, a living monument to mark the ‘
last resting place of the voungest and i
weakest of the McWilliams-Irwin un
ion. My Sainted Mother's Baby, |
