COULD'T GET THE CONVICTS
FARMERS WANTED THE COUNTY
GANG TO KILL GRASS.
Mass Meeting Held at the Court
House, and Request Made of the
Prison Commission for Zebras.
A number of farmers met at the
court house Wednesday for the pur
pose of taking steps to temporarily
employ, if it were possible, the county
convicts on their farms. Owing to the
overwhelming prevalence of grass and
scarcity of labor it had been proposed
th secure the services of the convict
¢ang and let them work in rotation, or
in such other way as might be decided
on, the farms of those who entered
into the contract for their labor.
There were thirty citizens present,
and the meeting was organized by the
election of Col. M. C. Edwards as
chairman and Mr. Walter Christie as
secretary, both of whom accepted after
stating they were opposed to the
movement. Those present were pretty
evenly divided on the proposition,
and three votes were taken before it
was decided which side had the ma
jority.
The chair announced that a motion
to request the prison commisson to al
low the use of the zebras on the farms
was lost by two votes. A division
was then called for and a tie announc
ed. and on the third vote the motion
was declared carried, sixteen voting
for and fourteen against it.
It was then resolved that the chair
appoint some one to go to Atlanta
and secure from the prison commis
wission, if possible, their consent for
the use of the conviets by the farmers.
Mr. W. H. Davis was named, but he
stated that he could not undertake the
mission, and suggested that Dr. A. M.
Raines be appointed in his stead,
which was done. Dr. Raines signified
his acceptance of the appointment, but
stated there was very little chance of
ibe petition being granted. Dr. Raines
presented the matter to the prison
board Friday, but the request, as was
expected, was denied, the law being
very specific as to the management
and work of conviets. |
The crop situation continues unim
proved. Weeds and grass have liter
ally run riot in many farms, and some
crops have had to be abandoned, as
there was no chance to clean them
out. The News is informed by leading
planters that crop conditions are the
worst ever known in the county at this
season of the year.
DEATH OF DR. JOWERS.
Well Known Young Physician Pass
es Away in Texas.
Dr. Emmet Jowers, the only son of
Mr. W. P. Jowers of Webster county
and well-known in Dawson, where he
attended school several years, died at

Three or four weeks ago he left for
lias Vegas, New Mexico, in search of

Dr. Jowers was a young man of the
tighest attainments and life seemed to
bave much in store for him. He grad
ualed with distinetion from Tulane
tniversity in New Orleans, and for
Several years sueccessfully engaged in
{:'iust!ce there, amassing a compe
ney.
_For some time he had been at his
‘ather’s plantation home in Webster
tounty, but recently decided to go_to
“¢w Mexico in search of health. . His
vad death, far from home and loved
Vhes, 1s the more deplored. |

JAPANESE WIN GREAT VICTORY ON THE SEA
Rojestvensky’s Ships Are_—A—lmost Annihilated by Togo's Fleet.
Russia’s Only Hope Now Lies in the Army.
Latest advices confirm the defeat
suffered by the Russian fleet in the
battle of the Japan Sea Saturday, and
point to the fact that Russia’s hopes,
so far as this war is concerned, now
lie in whatever may be accomplished
by the army in Manchuria. An official
report received from Tokio by the
Japanese legation at Washington
says that the Russian losses definitely
known include two battleships, a coast
defense ship, five cruisers, two special
service ships and three destroyers
sunk, and two battleships, two coast
defense ships, one destroyer and one
special service ship captured, while
;DA\‘VSON DRUG CO. SUCCESSFUL
Induced Dr. Howard Company to
Make Special Price.
After a great deal of effort and cor
respondence Dawson Drug Co., the
popular druggists, have succeeded in
getting the Dr. Howard Co. to make a
special half-price introductory offer
on the regular fifty cent size of their
celebrated specific for the cure of con
stipation and dyspepsia.
The medicine is a recent discovery
for the cure of all diseases of the
stomach and bowels. It not onmly
gives quick relief, but it makes
permanent cures.
Dr. Howard’s specific has been so re
markably successful in curin,r]z consti
pation, ~dyspepsia_ and all liver
troubles that the Dawson Drug Co.
are willing to return the price paid in
tl.a_vn;ry case where it does not give re
ief.
The old-fashioned idea of dosing
with mineral waters, cathartic pills or
harsh purgatives will soon be a thing
of the past. The best physicians are
prescribing Dr. Howard’s specific be
cause it really gives the desired re
sults and on account of the small and
pleasant dose that is needed. ‘
Water Sprinkler Wagon Collapsed.’,
The rear axle of the public water
sprinkler broke Saturday on Main
street, and the tank was precipitated
and partially torn up. John Teasly,
who was driving it, was painfully
injured by the fall.

over 3,000 prisoners have been taken,
including Rear Admiral Nebogatoff.
There is nothing to clearly indicate
the extent of the Japanese losses,
though reports from London say a
number of Japanese ships were lost.
Rojestvensky’s defeat has given rise
to renewed talk of peace.
Nothing has been heard from Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky. In Tokio
there is some belief that he has
perished, while another source says
he was rescued by a torpedo boat, but
that he is wounded. Six of his battle
ships have not yet been accounted for,
and are believed to have escaped.
THAT FAMOUS HEIFER.
Farmer Bryan Is Not Treated Fair
ly by Partisan Newspapers.
From Mr. Bryan’s Commoner.
‘ Mr. Bryan is again the victim of
!misrepresentation. He recently pur
chased a hornless Jersey calf at the
verv reasonable orice of $5O, but be
fore the calf could reach Fairview by
freight the republican editors had
changed its sex and multiplied the cost
by ten. Itis now represented as a
$5OO heifer, and one of the cartoonists
has gone so far as to portray the
democratic donkey as objecting to the
‘‘golden calf’’ and saying that either
the ‘B5OO heifer’’ or it (the donkey)
‘“‘has gotto go!’”’ It is a pity that a
farmer must be thus ridiculed when he
attempts to improve his stock. It is
only a short” time ago that he was
being held up to public scorn because
he, ina jocular mood, said that he
had left his plow in the field and hast
ened to a democratic banquet. This
statement was made the text for sever
al sermons on the carelessness of
farmers who left their farm machinery
exposed to the weather. This was
really a just criticism, and the editor
of the Commoner has taken iv to heart
and will in the future be more careful
with his plow, but there is no excuse!
for the gross exaggeration as to the|
price of the calf. }

CISTERNS IN READINESS AND
CHEMICALS AT HAND.
Representative of the Waterworks
Company Has Not Yet Arrived.
Chairman Deubler Busy.
Since the order from the city council
to the chief of the fire department not,
under any circumstances, to attach the
hose to the water plugs Chairman
Deubler of the fire committee of the
city council has put forth every effort
to give the city as good fire protection
as possible under existing conditions.
The cisterns have been repaired and
filled, additional chemicals purchas
ed, the fire engine given a thorough
overhauling and every precaution
and step taken for any possible fight
against fire.
The representative whom the water
works company notified the city they
would send to Dawson to negotiate
with the council for a temporary
water supply has not shown up. He
has been expected for two weeks, and
it is not known why he has thus far
failed to get here. In the meantime
the vigilance of Chairman Deubler
has gone far towards relieving the ex
treme gravity of the situation.
Telegraphs He Is Coming.
City Clerk Ed Bell has received a
telegram from the American Pipe
Manufacturing Co. stating that their
representatiye will reach Dawson on
Thursday for the purpose of negotiat
ing with the city for the use of the
company’s water in case of fire.

GOOD BLOOD g
i : S~ G
TELLS ITS OWN STORY (* W 3
‘And tells it eloquently in the bright eye, the supple, ¥
elastic movement, the smooth, soft skin, glowing with Z i s
health, a body sound and well, an active brain, good e S 3
appetite and digestion, refreshing sleep, energy to per- T =
form the duties and capacity to enjoy the pleasures of 23 3
life. The blood is the most vital part of the body;
every organ, muscle, tissue, nerve, sinew and bone is dependent on it for
nourishment and strength, and as it circulates through the system, pure and
strong, it furnishes to these different parts all the healthful qualities nature
intended. When, from any cause, the blood becomes impure or diseased, it
tells a different story, quite as forceful in its way. Itching, burning skin
diseases, muddy, sallow complexions, disfiguring sores, boils, carbuncles,
etc., show the presence, in the "blood, of some foreign matter or poison.
Rheumatism, Catarrh, Contagious Blood Poison and Scrofula, are effects of
a deeply poisoned blood circulation. These may either be inherited or ac
quired, but the seat of trouble is the same—the
blood. S. S. S., a purely vegetable blood remedy,
cleanses and purifies the circulation and makes it
strong and clean. Under its purifying and tonic ef
e fects all poisons and impurities are expelled from
the blood, the general health is built up, all disfiguring eruptions and blem
ishes disappear, the skin becomes soft and smoot! and robust health blesses
life. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison and all dis
eases of the blood are cured by S. S. S. Book on the blood and any medical
advice, freeof charge. FyE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
