DAWSON, GA., Nov. 4th, 1903.

A GROWING EVIL.
In the local columns of The News isan
article which shows the great demand
there is among the negroes for weap
ous, mostly revolvers, and the fact af
fords a lesson which shouid be heeded.
Few things are more dangerous than
the average negro, and some whites
for that matter, loaded to the brim
with mean whiskey and a pistol con
cealed in the pocket.
There are at preseut two or three
measures pending before the Georgia
legislature looking to the suppression,
as faras possible, to thatenemy of socie
ty who persists in making a walking
arsenal of himself, and in the light of
developments it seems that some law
more stringent than the present one
shouild be enacted. Perhaps the emer- ‘
gency would best be met by making
the crime & felony instead of a misde
meanor.
Anyway, the pistol-toter should be
made to realize that there is no room
for him in an enlightened and well-or
dered community.
A PAINED CONTEMPORARY,
The Tifton Gazette *‘is surprised
and pained to see papers like The At
lanta News and The Dawson News en
deavoring to uphold the Tillman ver
dict.” The Atlanta News and The
Dawson News are not the only papers
in Georgia by a great deal that did not
join in the lurid denunciation of the
Tiliman jury. Itis an easy matter to
condemn those who do not cater to
popular prejudice, but there are a
pumber of promineat afd conservatiye
journals in the istate that maintained
their equilibrium and did not believe
everybody and everything had gone to
the demnition bow-wows because a
man who had been mercilessly honnd
ed and finally turned upon his pursuer
was not hanged.
Maybe Editor Herring would have
submitted in a lamb-like way 0
the continued and brutal abuse, of the
Columbia editor, but before this paper
believes he would it must have more
evidence than his criticism of the ver
dict that saved frow the hangman’s
poose the man who, in great despera
tion, did resent 1t in a way that he
perhaps should not have done. The
{ellow who runs an abusive paper, as
did Brann. Stein and Gonzales, must
expect to run up agaiost bullets.
Besides, without any desire to add
to the pain or di:zcomfiture of our es
teemed contemporary we cannot re
frain from saying that the facts and
the testimony brought out in the trial
of the case made a strong showing for
the defense.
THE FIGHT IS ON.
Employers are organizing against la
bor ail over the country, and labor ir
_organizing agaipst capital. It is oo
longer a secret that the fizht is on be
tween the two, and it is time for
thoughtful, conservative men to stop
and take a calm survey of the bantle
field. It is time to study the relative
conditions of the two forces, and first
to see if the fight canuot be averted:
second, to see, if this be impossible,
with which side rests the greatest re
sponsibility; and. third, which is to
loge mort by the conflict.
Onpe day last week more than three
bundred employers met in Chicago
and organized against labor unions.
This meeting was called at the in
stance of Mr. Parry, who is leading
the movement against what he calls
the labor trust. He is an earnest man,
a large employer of labor, and has be-‘
comse not only distrustful of organized
Jabor, but to really hate its name. It
bas never occurred to Mr. Parry that
he believes in organized capital, that
be is himself at the bead of one of the
biggest organizations in the country,
if not in the world, and that the pur
pose of his organization 18 the same as
that of organized labor—self-protec
tion and to get the most for the least
possibie effort.
But that is not the question now. It
cannot change the relative position
of the two trusts, the labor trust and
the eapital trust. The plain fact con
fronts the people that an aggressive
war is on between capital and labor,
and how to avert it, or how to mini
jze it, is the most pertinent and import
ant question just now. The business
men who fail 1o observe it fail of their
duty.
HonN. E. M. OwWEeN, the popular
young representative of Pike-county in
the legislature, has bought the Zebu
lop Times. Mr. Owen is a gentleman
of most pleasing address and fine abili
ty, and is a wvaluable acquisition to
Georgia journalism. We would remind
him, however, that to successfully
conduct a country newspaper he will
find life much more strenuous than it
is in receiving retainers as an attor
ney and making laws for the state.
Believing that he will be equal to the
emergency, we more than welcome
‘him to the fold.
THE HUSTLING HEN.,
Much is being said of the shrinkage
of the valves of some of the big trusts,
but little as we think of it there is a
modest industry in this country of
which no noise is made and the sus
pension of which would bring a shock.
This is the poultry and egg industry.
The Brovklyn Eagle estimates that it
would require a train 868 miles long to
transport the eggs of a single year.
The value of the sugar product for one
year is $20,000,000; that of poultry and
eggs is $280,000,000. Not only this,
but the value of poultry and eggs pro
duced in the United States in 1902 ex
ceeded in value that of the combined
gold and silver output.
Suppose this vast industry, carried
on principally by the farmwives of the
country, were suddenly stopped?
There would be a panic of robust pro
portions.
HERE is a timely paragraph from the
Albany Herald: *‘ltis the duty of ev
ery good citizen to register and vote.
This applies to municipal affairs as
well as to state and national elections.”
1t is especially timely for Dawsonites
right now, for Saturday is the lasti
day when they can register for the
city primary. Comparatively few{
have registered to date.
ROOSEVELT spends more time out of
Washington than anv president we
nave ever had, but theold country wags
along just the same. In fact, it looks
as if it might get along jast as weil if
he were off all the time, and we join a
contemporary in the hope that we will
be able to put the matter to a test after
aext year.
MR. ALLEN WHITE, the Kansas
newspaper man, deuies that he is to be
dean of the school of journalism, and
gives three very good reasons why.
“In the first place,’”’ says Mr. White,
‘“‘the job has not been offered me; in
the second place, I would not have the
job, and in the third place there i 3 no
such job.”
CUPID is not always very discrimi
nating. A young Georgia widow has
just married Senator Stewart of Neva
da, a Santa Claus-looking old gentle
man who is reverently referred to as
the patriarch of the body of political
fossils of which he is a member.
THE Savannah .Press warns Mrs.
Cruger not to let her invitation con
flict with the engagements of ‘‘Book
and Ted.” ‘‘She might be embarrass
ed by the 'Profes’ declining her bid to
eat.”’
IHE state has paid to the umpires
in‘the franchise tax arbitration cases
over $22,000, while the raitroads have
paid an equal amount. Arbitrations
come high, even if resulte are small.
MANY seem to thiok that $50,000
won’'t give Georgia such a building as
the state ought to have at St. Louis.
[t would seem that a $50,000 building
would do for a $30,000 exhibit.
THE Angora goat craze has struck
the country, and the Marietta Journal
says a number of farmers of that sec
tion are going in to make mohair
grow where none grew before.
Miss HELEN GoULD denies the ru
mor that she is to marry an Italian
count with a queer three-section name.
Glad of it. She deserves a sure enough
husband. e g
ALDERMAN Jio;ms says he is going
to stop gambling in Macon or drown
himself in Ocmulgee river. Just as
well get the drag-hooks ready. ‘
THE few newspapers that are trying |
to resurrect the Cleveland corpse are
working overtime without a single en
couraging symptomn.
AN Indiana man has regained bie
lost power of speech by chewing tobac
co. Itisa good thing to know what
will restore speech.
WHEN Mr. Beyan and Mr. Hill had
a conference the other day about the
LWO biggest democrats of the nation
} met.
THE Darien Gazette notes that ‘‘the
Hearst boom is no myth. Hearstis a
very strong man.”’
THAT was a real state fair which
was held in Macon. And it was the
first in a number of years.
THY Bookerites of Georgia seem to
have taken to the woods. Now, if they
will only stay there !
ENDED TROUBLES WITH ACID.
A] Prominent Citizen of Harris County
Committed Suicide.
J. H. Brawner, aged 79, a prominent
citizen of Harris county, residing near
Hargeut, committed suicide late T'hurs
day afternoon. He had been in feeble
health and grew despondont, and it is
thought his mind was affected when
he took his life.
The cld man went into the buggy
bouse near his residence and tried to
kill himself with a knife, but only suc
ceeded in scratching his neck and
chest, the knife being dull and he be
ing feeble. He then swaliowed the
contents of a bottle of carbolic acid.
When found by his family a few min
utes later bhe was in a dying condition,
and he lived only a short time.
He was one of the most subs:antial
and prominent citizens of Harris
couaty. A family survives him.

Ten Thousand Churches
in the United States have used the Longman &
Martinez Pure Paints.
Every Church will be given a liberal quantity
whenever they paint, @
Don't pay #1.50 a gallon for Linseed 01l (Wworth
60 cents), which you do when you buy thin paint
in a can with a paint label on it.
Eight and six make fourteen, therefore when
you want 14 gallons of paint buy only 8 gallons of
L. & M, and mix six gallons of pure linseed oil
with it,
You need only four gallons of L. & M. paint
and three gallons of oil mixed therewith to paint
a good sized house.
Houses painted with these paints never grow
shabby, even after 18 years.

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor, I
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many.times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp=Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and $l. sizes. |

These ‘“Cheap John” shoddy goods

For soft and pleasant wear,
