OFFICIAL PAPER OF TERRELL COUNTY
OFFICIAL PAPER OF CITY OF DAWSON.
—- e e
DAWSON, GA., Max. 197 H., 1902
THE NEED OF A PARK.
Among the several things that Daw
son should, for several reasons, have
is a public park. Few towns as large
as Dawson are without one, either
within the city limits or of easy access.
The real need for a park is readily
recognized. It was in Dawson several
years ago, and for awhile a parg ex
isted on the lot where the Presby
terian church now stands. Later this
ground was purchased for the erection
of the church. That was Dawson’s
first and last park, but its popularity
while it existed was evidence of what j
a delight it was to those who passed
away many pleasant hours there.
Never has Dawson needed such a
resort more than at present. To say
nothing of the fact that parks are
lovers’ paradises, they are particular
ly needed for the salutary influence
on the morals of the youths of the
town. Thisstatementmay appear far
fetched, but it isa’t, by any means. In
their spare moments these vouths
have no disposition to make of their
surplus time except to spend in aimlesg
wanderings onthe streets. They spend
not only time, but moaey a 8 well, for
their innate spirit reciprocation forces
them to ‘‘treat’’ friends and acquaint
ances, and it must be confessed that
these treats are not invariably of light
drinks.
This may be and is doplorable, but
iis natural. An idle mind, said some
philosopher, is the devil’'s delight,
and boys will find some way in which
to while the time away, just as sure as
water will flow down grade. To be
sure they might be at home, but they
will inform you that “‘you can go home
when you can’t go any where else,”
and that ends the argument so far as
they are concerned.
There are acres upon acres of land
_near Dawson, and some within the
town, where the establishment of a
park would be perfectly feasible, and
_po citizen will dispute the very evi
dent need for one. Realization should
follow anticipation. We ought to
have a park, and we can have u park.
They why not haye it ?
TEDDY'S BAD BREAK.
President Roojsvelt has on several
occasions since his ascendancy to the
chief magistracy of the republic made
of himself a conspicuous prototype
of the animal which Balaam bestrode
in times recorded by biblical history,
but never more so than when he re
~cently declared ina speech before the
G. A. R. that confederate soldiers in
the civil war were aparchists. This
utterance of our extremely strenuou
president is inexpressibly obnoxiou
to the ears of the south. 1f he had de
clared they were fools it would not
have been so bad, for Teddy is un
doubtedly a good judge of a fool, being
a most blatant one himself. He evi
dently knows about as much concertr
4ing the principles causing the civil
strife of the sixties as the average
sicoon’’ does about adyanced mathe
matics.
The most intolerable variety of
fools is the fool who 1s a fool and
doesn’t realize it.
Teddy is aflicted with the most ag
_gravated and malignant case of swell
head on record, and would be tickled
to death should congress enact a law
ot lese majeste. Well, go ahead, Mr.
President, and enjoy your term in of
fice; you will hardly have another.

ENGINEER’S CORPSE RECOVERED.
Engine Raised and the Body Floated to
the Surface.
, GRIFFIN, March 14.—The body of
Allan Mathews, engineer on the ill
fated train that was wrecked at Shoal
or Couch’s creek, on the night of
February 28, was rescued today at 11
o’clock, and the engine was about half
hoisted at that time.
It was found from his position that
he was at the throttle when the dis
aster came and had never left hic post.
I'he body came up as the engine was
turned from the right side,upon which
it rested, and at once floated to the
top. It was then carried toa car that
was being used as temporary head
quarters and placed in the hands of
undertakers from Columbus, who pre
pared the body for shipment to that
city this afternoon.
Telegrams were at ouce sent to rela
tives; at Thomaston and other places,
stating that the body had been at last
recovered, and the officials of the road
were also notified.
" The body was hid from the sight of
‘the curious by sheets that the under
tahers had thrown over him as he was
boroe on a stretcher to the bier that
had been prepared on a box car to re
ceive him. The coffin and appurte
nances had beenon the ground for sev
eral days awaiting this end of the
gsearch. The body is not as badly de
composed as it was conjectured to be,
and it is probable that it will not look
unnatural when prepared for burial.
The papers and other effects of the
dead engineer were taken charge of
and will be deliyered to the proper
persons. Among thz most distressed
at the wreck has been the son of Mr.
Mathews, who has been at the scene
since u few days afterward, and his
sorrowing puatience has affected all
who have been almost in daily attend
ance. :
False Prophet Duped Many.
Four or five months ago a preacher
of the name of Collins told the people
of Meridian, Miss., that on March 10,
at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Lord
would destroy all of Mississippi, and
Vicksburg 1n particular, with an earih
quake. He claimed to haye had adi
vine revelation, and to have been com
missioned to warn the faithful to flee
to York, Ala., where they might es
cape the wrath to come. Great numbers
of negroes and some white people were
so impressed with what the prophet
said that they fled to York, as told.
Now the fugitives are making their
way back to their Mississippi homes,
convinced that the prophet was in
error.
Wants to Fish on Sunday.
Representative Frederick O. Mac-
Cartney, of Rockland, Mass., a social
ist, was elected to the house originally
on the Sunday fishing issue, and, al
thourh a clergyman, for three years
he has stood upon the floor of the
house in advoeacy of his bill to permit
fishing on the Lord's day. The bill
has met its third defeat.
Does Not Prove Anything.
There died in Maryland the other
day at the age of 105 years Robert Mec-
Carty, who siace 1862 had consumed
one quart of whisky and one pound of
tobacco per week on an average. It is
said he attributed his age and swrength
to these indulgences. Meantime, there
is notning to prove that he might not
have lived to be 125 years old without
them.

Mark Twain and Himself, |
Mark Twain is so well known by his
pseudoaym that people frequently ad
dress him as Mr. Twain unti his iden
tity has assumed a soct of Jekgt amd
Hyde quality. and he doesa’t kunew
Rimself whether he is Mark Twaia or
samuel Clemens. It remained for the
ever ingenious oflice boy te carry the
@ual identity theory to its wtmost de
sAdopment. Mr. Clemens, according te
Harper’s Literary Gossip. caled at a
publishing house, - but the manm he
wanted to see was absent. To make
sure that his visit should be reported
and baving no card with him he gave
both his names to the office boy. This
was the latter's report te his superior:
~ “Mr. Clémens was here. He said he
waunted to see Mark Twain.”

PAID PRICE FOR FAST TRAIN.
Central Railroad Made Mile a Minute for
a Millionare.
! From the Americus Times.
. A special “fiyer” carrying a St.
| Louis millionaire from that city 10
' Jacksonville sped throngh Americus
| over the Central Railroad yesterday,
| breaking the record for fast running
lon that line since vhe days of Nabey
Hanks.
The special flashed like a meteor
through the yards here, the estimayed
'speed as it passed this depot being
!aixt-y miles an hour.
The train stopped only at Macon
| and Smithville on the run of 207 miles
’from Atlanta to Albany-.
l An engine and one Pullman car
' made up the train, and aboard the
l l'ullman was an anxious father hasten
ing as fast as steam could take him to
the bedside of his two children in
Florida. They were said to be dying.
He left St. Louis at 6:40 o’clock Fri
day night, and at the same hour last
night reached Jacksonville.
The distance of 1,000 or 1,200 miles
was covered in twenty four hours.
From Atlanta-to Macon, 103 miles,
the tim= was 108 minutes. Five
minutes was lost in changing engines,
and then the “special’’ fairly tlew w-l
wards Albany, just 106 miles further
south. & : l
The ‘“‘special’’ flashed by Americus
at 2:40 p. m. just one hour after the
Central’s fast vestibule left. yet it
overhauled and passed the vestibule
before itreached Albany, it miles dis
tant. Itwas a record breaking run.
This lightning ‘‘special”’ cost the
St. Louis father the round sum of
$1,775.
THE BURGHER’S WIFE.
[IN THE BRITISH DETENTION CAMP.]
Outside the guard goeS heavily; the sun
beats on the roof;
Ile hears the sick ones moaning, but he
holds his eyes aloof.
In heaven is only sun glare, dust devils on
the veldt;
‘We could not pray the clouds up, however
long we knelt,
There are women who are sullen, there
are women who are wild,
And one perhaps is hopeful, but that one
has no child;
Katrina raved when yesternoon they took
her last away;
Annetje’'s went at candle light, and mine
will go today.
And is it you, brave England, that holds
us in the pen,
Making war on wives and children since
you cannot match our men?
Will you swallow up our natiom, make
our name as naught, you think?
By the living God of Dutchmen, you shall
spew the broth you drink!
I had seven sons, how long ago! Seven
and my good man,
And Greta—only woman child that came
to me and Jan—
Six strong sons of my body and one that
still was small;
They were stout for war or praying, and
their country took them all—
The wolf, the kite, the river trench, by
kopje and by veldt.
I did not keep, though all their wounds I
in my body felt;
It was I that scoured their rifies—one had
hardly done with play—
I did not weep to see them go, but I shal
weep today.
And is it wise, great England, to build
your greatness so— oo\
You that fatten on small peoples, though,
God's faith, the meal is slow?
Growing wider by the holdings of a sim
pler, feebler folk,
It is fatness where no strength s, ané
you, too, shall feel the soke.
But once I wept for Wilhelm—he had hls
father's looks;
The day that he was turned sixteen he
put away his books.
“Now, kiss me mother, let me go, for I
am grown a man.'"
And so I wept for Wilhelm, though I did
not weep for Jan.
And for myself no whimper; T am past
my bearing time,
But I weep to know my woman child
must die before her prime.
I 8 no coolness on the pillow for the ten
der, fevered head?
Is no comfort in the sickness but my tear
and captive's bread?
It is not for you, O England, to give me
back my sons;
We have paid the tale twice over by the
coughing, spitting guns,
But the siall graves of the children, they
are yawning in the sed,
Deep enough to gulf your glory, high te
witness unto God.

Perryman's lawyers fought the case
vigorously before the supreme court,

an effort would be made to get the
case before the United States supreme

Mr. Perryman was sent to the peniten

but were powerless to help him.
