@FFICIAL PAPER OF TERRELL COUNTY
OFFICIAL PAPER OF CITY OF DAWSON.
DAWSON, GA., Jax, Trn, 1902.
/
e p—————————————
DAWSON’S PROSPERITY DURING 1902,
A careful retrospect of 1902 will be
satisfactory and pleasingto every Daw
sonian who has the interest of the city
at heart—and there are none who have
not.
Dawson has grown in size, popula
tion, prosperity, wealth, enterprise
and consequent prestige, power and
popularivy.
One proof of this which, after all,
tells the whole stovy, isthat it is im
possible at this time to securc such
a thing as a desirable residence with
in the corporate limits, and this condi
t'on of affairs has practically prevail
ed for months and months past.
New enterprises have been estab
lished, old ones remodeled and enlarg
ed, new business blocks erected and
occupied, new banking institutions
placed in operation, many handsome
homes built and other improvements
made.
Dawson’s Tcitizenry is composed of
thatclass of people who make for them- ‘
selves and their town peace and pros
perity—business men whose reputa
tion has gone abroad and carried the
city’s with it. As a result, Dawson is
known and esteemed throughout the
state and beyond its borders. |
_ Nor are things at a standstill. The
same relentless pride and enterprise
is still here, and will be. Dawson’s
growth is to be a thing of certainly
and a continuous oae.
Great is Dawson, and great are her
people.
THE BOOKER WASHINGTON FAD.
Senator Ben Tillman of South Caro
lina eyidently has no svmpathy what
ever with the Booker Washington fad.
In a lecture at Macon a few nights ago
the able and versatile South Caroli:
piansaid that Washington's idea offers
no solution of the race problem, and
that its principal consequence is to
turn out hordes of skilled negro work
men to compete with southern white
men. Continuing, the senator said
toat, education or no education,
whenever the negro came in contact
with the white man on an equality
there would ultimately be an uppeal
to the shot gun.
And Senator Tillman is eminently
correct. Washington did an unwise
thieg when he chummed with our re
doubtable president. He not only sub
jected both Mr. Roosevelt and him
self to severe and well deserved criti
eism, buc he placed a dangerous idea
of} social aquality in the craniums o
his race. The spectacle of Bocke:
dining as+a guest of honor at the table o'
the president of the republic is ill cai
cuiated to decrease the inherent ego
t smjand impudence of mauy of his race
who have a smattering of education.
From every viewpoint Senaor Till
men is unguestionably right in his
yviews and expressions. Booker Wash
logton, the Booker Washington fad.
and the negro laborer are all right in
their proper places:out of it they jus
tify the senutor's {mpatience and as
sault.
WHAT ARK WE COMING TO?
Miss Alice Roosevely, the daughter
of the president, in issuing invitations
to her New Year's reception included
among her guests a young lady who
was herself to be hoetess at an eunter
tainment on the same night. Natural
ly desiring to be present at her own
home, she wisted to decline the white
house Invitation, but was not allowed
to do 8o by her mother, who evidently
considered it would be unpardonable
lese majeste to forego the Roosevelt
honors. So the young lady attended,
ucwillingly, forced to do so by a motb
er whose taste, under the circum
stances, might well be termed mon
archial.
The false zeal and unhesitating am
bition of the mother seems strange to
us of a free, liberty loving country,
where there is no royalty and democra
ey of spirit rules. President Roose
velt, though the nation’s official head,
is no more after all than the humblest ‘
private citizen. Like the latter, he
may express a preference inmatters so
cial or personal, but he is powerless to
command. The overly ambitious lady
evidently knows little and cares less
of the very groundwork of our system
of government, which is personal lib
erty and thatall men are born free and
equal.
The News extends its hand for & grip
of fellowship with the young lady of
democratic spirit and independent
mind, and hopes that but few more
strenuous ambitions like her mother's
will come into evidence.
ANOTHER Barnesville bapk has fail
ed o meet its certificates. The more
Dawson hears of instances like this
the prouder and more confident she
3s of her three banking iostitution:.
A NEW PHASE.
A new phase of the south’s race
problem is becoming evident—more 80
every day.
~ Southern womanhood is learning to
protect itself. Realizing that hus
iband, father or brother cannot be al
ways Dear w protect them from brutal
)assault. the women of the south are
learning self-reliance.
Near a little Alabama town the oth
er day a negro ex-convict chased a
farmers’ wife to her father’s home
with the intention of assaulting her.
As she ran into the house the negro
lfired upon her. She grabbed a gun
and returaed the fire, killing him in
stantly. ;
A few more instances of this kind
will teach a lesson, and the example‘
<et by Mrs. Lane is to be heartily ap
plauded. Every woman should be
taught to use a revolyer, and to use it |
accurately and without timidity. Tt is 1
a fact that the women of the south are
becoming more used to this handy
weapon of protection, and the per
centage of those who understand its
use and who are not afraid to handle
itis rapidly increasing. It seems Lhatl
there is to come a day when the negro
fiend incarnate will be balked, and by
the objects of his devilish lust.
OUR freak president, who is trying
to force a negress down the throats of
Indianola, Miss., as postmaster, may
find himself very much up against an
exceedingly tough proposition. Roose
yelt has closed the postoffice and says
it must be negress or nothing. Blood
is considerably thicker than water,
and Teddy’s strenuosity may prove
unavailing against honest and natural
repugnance and indignation.
IN the retirement of State School
Commissioner Glenn Georgia loses
an official of whom it may be said
that he has done more for the advance
ment of education in the state than
any other one man, and made for
himself a reputation national as well as
state. In Prof. Merritt, the new com
missioner, the state will have an of
cial in whom the people have the
utmost confldence.
T'HE state press is noting with re
gret the retirement of Captain John
Triplett from the newspaper field. He
has for thirty years been at the steer
ing gear of the Thomasville Times-En
terprise, and when he laid aside the
quill his sown lost an able and aggres
sive newspaper friend and the profes
sion one of its brightest stars and most
popular members.
THE Albany Star has suspended pub
lication. This is another evidence of
& fact which is gradually dawning upon
the public mind, viz: there isn't room
ia the average town for two papers.
The Albany Herald fully covers its
field and is giving perfect satisfaction
to its constituency in eyery respect,
Therefore the Star necessarily
went under, though it was a bright,
newsy sheet.
THE NEWS' exchange desk is now
graced with copies of the Savanpah
Press, than which there is none bet
ter. Kditor Stovall is nov only one of
the brainiest gquill pushers in the
south, but also one of the ablest and
most prominent members of the Geor
gia legislature.
BeEN RUSSELL, of the Bainbridge
Argus, wants each county 0 look

MUCH to public surprise, Associate
Justice Little of the state supreme
court has resigned. Judge Joseph R.
Lamar of Augusta has been appoiunted

CHANGES IN STANDS.
Several Moves Made by Mer
chants ot the City.
The stock of goods of the cut price
store, A. F. Churchwell proprietor,
has been moved to the Albany store
of that concern, and the Dawson
branch of the business discontinued.
G. M. Roberts & Co., have moved
from their former stand on Third ave
pue into the store on Main streetvaca-
Mr. Churchwell.
R. J. Senn has moved his beef mark
et from his former place of business
on Lee street to the store vacated by
G. M. Roberts & Co.
PEACH CROP TO BE 100,000 CRATES.
Georgia Taking Its Proper Place as Fruit
Growing State.
State Entomologist Scott has given
out some very interesting data con
cerning fruit growing as an occupa
tion in Georgia.
Entomologist Scott states that at
present a large number of peach trees
are being set out all over the state and
large orchards are being laid off on
‘ground formerly planted in cotton.
In Crawfurd county 10,000 young
peach trees Lave been received and
planted this fall, in Jones county 15,000
and an equal pumber in Habersham
and Elbert counties.
Mr. Scott says that while fruit
growing is comparatively a new vent
ure in Georgia it is rapidly growing iu
popular favor.
Last year there were shipped from
Georgia 1,700 cars, which represcots
85.000 crates of peacbes, aond if the
weather i» favorable to the trees this
year this amount will be increased to
100,000 crates.
In south Georgia the fayorite va
riety is the Early Bell, but in oorth
Georgia the Elberta holds popular
favor.
A WELL KNOWN FIRM FAILS.
J. E. French & Co. of Plains Were Closed
Up Thursday.
From the Americus Times.
J. K. Freoech & Co., a well known
mercantile company of Plaips, closed
their doors Thursday. Itis said that
the firmn's indebtedness is about $20,000.
Failure to make collections and indul
gence to deotors is said to have caused
the failure. The many friends of the
company will regret to hear of their
misfortune. Mr. R. S. Oliver was ap ‘
pointed receiver. |

A Cheap Rero. |
From the Jackson Argus. |
Hob=on's slobbering over the broth- |
er in black s even more disgusting
than Teddv Roosevelt’s. The man of
kissing fame claims to be a southern
er and should have better seose.
But, as for that matter, the editor has
always claimed that Hobson was a
cheap sort of a bero and no greater
than any other man who went with
him. We believe we coull tind dozens
of mep in Butts county who would do
the same as Hobgon did any day in the
‘week. Aod what’s more, they are not
| negrophiles, either.
‘ The Millenium Far Away.
From the Dublin Courier.
“The millenicm will be at hand
when pecp'e, instead of asking what a
man is worth, can find out by looking
at his tax receipts.”—Valdosta l'imes.
The Times would have us belieye
that the millenium is several thousand
years off.
Rockefeller’s Benefactions.
From the Sparta ishumaelite.
«Brother” Rockefeller's ‘‘noble
' benefactions’’ to schools and churches
are always attended by an iverease in
the cost of kerosene to consumers.

learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh, Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys
tem, destroving the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers that they offer One Hundred
