A NEW PASSENGER DEPOT.
BOARD OF TRADE TAKES UP MATTER
WITH CENTRAL RAILROAD.
Active Efforts to Secure Better Pas
senger Accomodations for Cawson
Have Been Begun.
The depot question has at last been
raised by Dawson’s board of trade.
The president of the board, Mr. W.
H. Davis, has written to the general
superintendent of the road, Mre. T. S,
Moise, laying the matter before him
and urging that a better passenger
station be given Dawson. As yet the
railroad official has not replied to Mr.
Davis’ communication, but an answer
is expected in a few days.
No prediction can be made as to the
tenor of the railroad’s letter in reply,
but it is hoped that it will be favorable
and that some promise will be held
out to give the town a depot compatible
with its size and importance. |
The need of a new passenger station
in Dawson is an urgent one. The
present building is very unattractive
in appearance and 18 decidedly one of
the poorest depots on the entire road.
Dawson is admittedly one of the best
railroad points in the state, and the
request for a better station is "an alto
gether reasonable one.
The board of trade will make a de
termined effort to secure be tter accom
modations, and there is every reason
to believe that the fair-minded officials
of the Central will see fit to comply
with the sentimeut here after the mat
ter has been fully presented to th em.

this section, and the establishment of
a bank there will be of much value to
fnvidual citizens and to the town as a
whole.
A GOOD WOMAN DIES.
Mrs. Mary Sims Passed Away at
a Ripe Old Age.
After being in feeble health for a
pnumber of months, Mrs. Mary Sims
passed away Sunday morning at the
home of her son-in-law, Mrs. George
S. Crowell, in this city. l
The interment occurred Monday af- |
yternoon at the cemetery in Chickasaw
hatchee, the family burial ground. A
large crowd of sorrowing friends and
relatives followed the remains to their
last resting place, where the funeral
rites were impressively performed by
Rev. O. F. Cook.
~ Mrs. Sims at the time of her death
was 84 years old. Since her early life
she had been a devoted member of the
Methodist church, and possessed a
sweet, christian spirit and beautiful
character, which endeared her to all
who knew her. She is survived by
four children, Judge Sam Roby of
Chickasawhatchee, Mrs. George S.
} Crowell and Miss Mattie Sims of Daw
son, and Mrs. Mamie Sasser of Pre
toria.

Injunction of Court Forbids Pri
vate Water Systems.
“iWe're the Oaly Ones,” siogs the
Dawson Waterworks Company, who
claim the perfect privilege of indulg
ing in this sentiment because of an
injunction granted by the United
States court a number of years ago
restraining the city or citizens from
erecting waterworks systems on their
own account.
Just at present the words quoted
bave been addressed to certain citi
zens in the eastern part of the city,
who had a movement on foot to sink
an artesian well and to lay pipes
therefrom to supply their homes with
water—a little waterworks system of
their own. Before the moyement
materialized, however, the citizeos in
question were advised by the water
works company’s astorney, Col. J. G.
Parks, that they would by such a
course lay themsclves liable for con
tempt, inasmuch as the injunction
mentioned applies to private citizens
as well as to the city officials; and
further than this, if the city authori
ties permitted such a system to be
erected they also would be brought
into the pale of contempt of the
court’s order.

,MAFIA STORY ALL A FAKE.
Report of a Funeral With a Corpse of
! Weapons Is Without Foundation.
Similar Stories Elsewhere.
' Several days ago The News was
informed of a reported funeral in a
; little town of Terrell county in which
it was stated that the corpse of a
‘suppesed negro had arrived there by
‘express, and that the weight of the
‘coffin aroused suspicion in the minds
of white citizens who, on invesuga
'tion, found that it was filled with
rifles instead of a aead body. It ap
peared to be an excellent story, and a
News reporter set about to run it
down. He did this and found it to be
a fake, started by who nobody knows,
and accordingly no mention of it was
made in these columns. The people of
the little town in which the sensational
occurrence was reported to have
taken place had not even heard of it.
On the following day a newspaper of
a nearby town printed & sensational
article telling of a similar occurrence,
!and we infer that the scene of the
fairy tale was the same as that which
had been told to The News. At any
rate, our contemporary afterwards
failed to find anything to substantiate
its pablication.
Thie paper takes no stock whatever
in these sensational black mafia
stories. They are generally, we be
lieve, the offspring of some fertile
imagination and have no foundation of
truth. Theircirculation lis calculated
to do much towards destroying the
confidence generally existing between
the two races, and to arouse feelings
of maglignancy and strife when there
is no ground for them.
The sooner newspapers quit publish
ing such rot the better off they and
this section will be. |

TO GET BETTER PRICES.
Farmers May Organize Local
Branch of National Union.
A society known as the National
Union has been organized in a number
ot counties of Georgla, and an effort
will soon be made to form a branch
union in Terrell county.
The first and main object of the
society is to get & proitable price
for all farm produce. ‘l'his is to be ac
complished by controlling the market:
ing of farm products. The headquar
ters are at Indianapolis, and branches
} are being organized all over the coun
try.
While this is a farmers’ society, any
‘one who has the farmers’ interest in
view may become & member.
The affairs of the society are regu
lated by a board of seven or more di
rectors. These directors will be ex
perts on various lines of farming. To
illustrate, there is a director rep
resenting cotton. He receives re
ports from each member of the local
union in the cotton states of acreage,
crop prospects, etc. He determines
from these and all other available In
formation what would be a fair price
for that year's cotton and publishes
same in the official paper, recommend
ing all members to hold for that
price. This gives the man who has
to sell at first a better chance, for
there will not be 80 much in his way.
No member signs any contract to hold
or sell at any particular time; he
simply gets the advice and uses his
judgement.

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
Scott’s Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scott’s
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
