THE DAWSON NEWS.
Makes you stop and consider the very
important point, “Do [ look like him
oram I shabby? 1 wonder what it
costs him to look like that?’
NOW LISTEN—If he lacks good
judgment it costs him a lot of money,
If he places himself in our hands it
doesn’t. We endeavor 10 place every
man that deals with us under obliga
tions to us, and then he starts out to
cancel that obligation by bringing 1n
a friend, who becomes g customer, and
who in turn starts out to bring his
friends in—and so on.
HOW DO WE PLAGE A CUSTOMER UNDER
OBLISATION T 0 uS ?
Why, we just give him more than
his money calls for—more than he ex
pecte —consider his whims and feelings
and pocketbook.
He comes in expecting to pay a cer
tain price for a suit, and he gets some
thing that suits him exactly for less
money than he expected to pay. He's
pleased and he “can’t help telling his
friends so.

AN IMMENSE CAVERN NEAR DAWSON
Exists in the Limestone Formations in the Northern Part of Ran
dolph County. The Bottom of a Well Was Blown
| Out, and Led to Its Discovery.
Few people even in south Georgia
know that in Decatur county, in the
lime sink region, there are waterfalls
of great height and beauty, or that in
Randolph county there is a large cave,
‘which on further inyestigation may
i prove still more extensive, says an At
lanta dispatch. |
The cave is situated about ten miles
north of Cutabert. The entrance is
a half mile east of the home of J. J.
Harden, on whose land it is. It was
first known to the white people in the
early '3os, just after the Creek war.
Samuel A. Grier had moved out to
what then was almost a wilderness, in
habited only by wild animals, Indians
and a few white men. The Indians
looked upon the whites as intruders,
and of course resisted every approach
wherever possible.
On a cold, frosty morning Mr, Grier,
while out in the woods near his home,
noticed what he thought to be smoke
curling up from a small hole in the
ground. Supposing that a scouting
party of Indians was concealed within
he gathered a party of his neighbors
and returned to drive out the supposed
marauders at the point of the bayonet.
The hole in the greound proved to be
an extensive cave, and the smoke only
vapor arising from underground
streams. No Indians were there; in
fact, it was learned afterwards that
the Indians were afraid.of the cave.
A few years after the discovery of
the cave Mr. Grier was having a well
'dug near his house. About twenty
feet below the surface they struck a
rock and found it necessary to do
gome blasting. A thing then happen
|ed which to those unacquainted with
the geographical formation in the
neighborhood seems incredible—the
bottom of the well was blown out.
A limestone rock lies just beneath
the surface there and extends over
several hurndred acres, protruding here
and there into view. This rock is soft,
and countains about 90 per cent of lime.
1t is just the region in which the geol
ogist would expect to find caves, and
'he would not hesitate long in looking
for an entrance. |
It is usually expected that the en
trance to a cave will be in the side ofa
hill or mountein, but here one’s pre
conceived notions are shocked, for he
sees only & small round hole about two‘
feet in diameter in the almost level
ground. This opening goes through‘
about three feet of the rock.
A drop of ten feet through this aper
ture puts one immediately into what
may be called the ante chamber. It is
an apartment about thirty feet in di
ameter, and varies in height from two
ISLAVE TO EDUCATE NEGROES{
Judge Gary Talks Against Apper
tionment of School Fund. ‘
In charging the grand jury in Au
gusta a few days ago Judge William
T. Gary created something of a sensa
tion by declaring his opposition to the
use of white men’s taxes to educate
negroes.
He said 1t spoiled good plow hands,
land if the negroes’ ability to acquire
education is conceded he sees no wis~
\dom in educating them to be lawyers,
doctors, etc., when there are no places
for them to fill. He had seen, with
tears in his eves, old Confederates, too
poor to educate their own children,
but paying taxes that went to educate
negroes. :
He thought it was time for the grand
jury to see if something could uot be
done to correct this evil.
The World’s Wheat Crop.
The world’s wheat crop is said to be
57,000,000 bushels short, but the United
States department of agriculture esti
mates the yield in this countrv to be
659,028,000 bushels, a total which has
only been excelled three times in the
history of the nation.
J. E. M. flour, every sack guaran
teed, at Wall Bros.
to seven feet. The floor is somewhat
like the convex surface of a sphere.
The walls are rough, and show no
signs of stalactites.
The ante-chamber begins to slope
down. One who follows this incline
downward for twenty or shirty feet
reaches a long hallway with a muddy
floor—the mud having been deposited
by an underground stream which
‘works its way through the crevices of
the rockshand finallv comes out into
‘the open air about 100 yards from the
cave entrance. There are several
lopenings from this hallway, but all are
iso narrow that they have never been
explored. Overhead the stalactites
have taken many sbapes, whose
beauty redeems the muddy cavern
from the commonplace and uninvib-‘
ing.
Going northeast from the entrance
one comes to & narrow passage about
two) teet high and twenty fect long.
This could most appropriately be call
ed “Fat Man’s Misery,” for it is with
difficulty that one succeeds in getting
through this passage. But the apart
ment into which it leads fully repays
one for all hardships. This room is
about fifty feev long, thirty feet wide
and ten feet high, and to it some hayz
given the name ‘‘ballroom.”
The walls on all sides are rough and
irregular. The floor is extremely un
even and muddy, and across it flows
the stream mentioned. The roof is
icovered with stalactites, which vary
!from the size of small icicles to that
of a man’s body. Some portions of
the roof are beautifully corrugated,
and exceed in splendor anything that
could be produced by the most skilled
sculptor. Unfortunately the brilliance
Eof the crystals has been dimmed by
‘the smoke and soot from the torches
and candles of the visitors. On the
lefv tone stalactites and sta.lagmluesl
have united and formed great col
umns. Here they have the appea.raucel
ofa large basin of water which was
streaming over on all sides and sud
denly turned to stone. There they
form a row of pipes, as of some large
pipe organ.
The origin of this cave cannot bel
very different from that of others.
The underground stream is still cut
ting away the soft limestone; the wa
ter, percolating through the thin sur
face layer, through which even the
roots of trees find their way, is still
forming beautiful stalactites and sta
lagmites. This continued increase, to
gether with the many unknown regions
which will some day be explored, will
make Grier’s cave familiar not only to |
Georgiane but to the people of ot.herl
sections.
FEARS THE NAME SHEFFIELD
Negro Wouldn’t Buy Razor Be
cause It Bore That Title.
The negro in the Pataula circuit
who has ever faced Judge Sheffield has
a recollection of the incident that will!
linger with him for some time. It was 1
last Saturday that a negro went into &
store in F't. Gaines ind inquired for a
razor. Several razors were shown the
Inegro; he made his selection and was
'in the act of paying for the same when
he discovered that the tonsorial article
he was about to purchase was made in
Sheffield, Eng. This broke up thke
trade. The article was carefully placed
back on the counter, and the customer
went out saying that he has a ‘‘cur
‘ous’’ feeling every time he thinks
about Judge Sheffield and a razor, and
that the name being on it would haunt
him in his sieep. So no kind of per
suasion could induce him to make the
purchase.—Ft. Gaines Sentinel.
A Cane Plantation,
A stock company has been formed in
Thomasville to plant 100 acres in
choice seed cane near Pelham. It bas
ordered $4,000 worth of machinery and
will make syrup after the most &p
-proved orocess. Sweet potatves and
ovher produce will also be raised.
