DAWSON NEWS.
PUBLISHED WEEKLY AT $lOO PER VEAR
—B—A-VTV—S—(-);\'_,—GA., Ju~xe 21, 1905,
OGDENS AND NEGROES.
Ylsewhere in The News is printed an
article from the pen of Thomas Dixon,
Jr.. showing the attitude of Mr. R, C,
Ogden, chairman of the ‘‘Southern”
Educational Board, towards the ne
gro in general and Booker Washing
ton in particular. Mr. Dixon has the
facts at hand, and discloses them
with a frankness and force that should
arouse a feeling of disgust and dis
trust 1n the minds of southern white
men for this alleged philanthropist in
educational work in the south.
Mr. Dixon shows that Ogden is a
negro worshiper, declares he teaches
a school where negro equality is
preached, runs a restaurant where ne
groes are bidden to share the same
service given to white people, and en
ters into the work of the educational
board with the almost sole view of
helping negroes.
Tae NEWS has continually and con
sistently refused to take any stock in
the motives and practices of this
“southern’’ educational board. This
paper admits the right of these people
to give to whatever institutions it
pleases them the money turned over
to them by their northern friends, but
we hope that the southern white peo
ple will be true enough and independ
ent enough to scorn the acceptance of
any gift from this source. We are
able to take care of ourselves. And,
furthermore, we are going to do it
without any assistance from this band
of negro worshipers and negro help
ers, who fondle cuffy in their arms
and would at heart force us to do
likewise.
Above all, the thing that is most
disgusting, in this connection, is the
pampering and bootlicking of this
crowd by some of our own Georgia
men and Georgia newspapers. They
laud Mr. Ogden to the skies, and mete
out a full measure of praise to his
““‘philanthropic’’ efforts. The same
newspapers that indulge in these mis
directed maudlinisms are the ones that
proclaim with ‘‘broad-minded’’ asser
tions that there is no negro question.
It would be ludierous if it were not
provoking. |
Let Georgia take the initiative in this
matter, and scorn the help of those
who teach negro equality. And in the
name of Anglo-Saxon supremacy and
ideals let those newspaper organs
which indulge in ali this sort of
“broad-minded’’ rubbish face the situ
ation as it really is.
BEAUTY AS AN ASSET.
The following from the Savannah
News states facts that are timely and
throws out suggestions that are
worthy of attention:
*“A stranger’s first impressions of a
town or city are gained from the ap
pearance of the depot at which he
alights. This applies as well to the
community of 1,000 people as to that
of 100,000. 1f the depot is ¢lean, whole
some, well ventilated and attractive
the impression on the visitor is good.
1t the depot grounds are well kept and
made cheerful by flowers, grass and
shrubs the impression is better. In
many sections of the country where
railroad officials are eager workers
for an increased immigration—and
increased immigration always means
increased incomes for the roads—the
fact that beauty is a valuable asset is
being more and more largely recog
pized. In its May issue the Booklov
ers’ Magazine devotes eight or more
pages, with many pictures, to an ar
ticle showing how various railroads
are spending money to beautify their
stations and rights-of-way. Some of
the stations on lines' in New York,
(alifornia and New England are sur
rounded by veritable little gems of
flower gardens, threaded by paved
walks and punctuated with fountains
or bits of expensive statuary. At ore
point in Florida the railway station .s
in the midst of a palm garden that
would do credit to the country resi
dence of a millionaire. In Georgia,
00, there has been some small pre
tense towards the beautifying of eoun
try depots, but the movement has not
received the attention that it deserves.
Some years ago there were several
very handsome little gardens along
the line of the Central of Georgia be
tween this city and Macon. * * %
The traveler over a line of railroad
who finds flowers and grass and trees
and shrubs at the depots and all along
the rights-of-way instead of unsightly
and unkempt spaces is pretty apt to
remember that route when he wants to
travel again; and the homeseeker who
finds freshness and beauty at the de
pot when he gets off his train will be
impressed with the desirability of be
coming a member of & communitv that
presents so attractive a front to the
world.'’
In Dawson we are’ all willing to
forego the statuary, flowers and
paved walks about our stations if
they will only give us a place wherein
we may find room, during the rain or
cold, to wait for our trains. We'll
have to get decent looking depot build
ings before the asset of beauty can be
realized. We won’t say any more just
now, because we'll be sure to say some
things that wouldn’t harmonize with
fowers and grass and trees and such
like.
JiM JEFFRIES bequeaths the cham
pionship to Bob Fitzsimmons. It will
be hard to break this will.
LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
Mr. Fred Gordon of Columbus, who
is president of the state association of
cotton mill owners and insists upon
the right to work children in unwhole
some factories, is liable to find him
self in the middle of a peck of trouble
if he isn't careful. The Columbus
Ledger, that gentleman’s home paper,
recently made the statement that Mr.
Gordon ‘‘knows more about the sub
ject of child labor than the Brunswick
Journal (Editor Sam Small’s paper)
will ever know.’ Whereupon, Editor
Small’s dander immediately arose,
and he flung back the following spir
ited challenge:
“As Hon. Hoke Smith would
say, this rather inclines us to enter
the contest.
““We don't know how much or
how well Colonel Gordon knows
what he thinks, and the esteemed
Ledger thinks, he knows about the
subject of child labor in factories.
But we are willing to give him a
chance to tell all he knows thereof
and to test to the fullest what we
know.
““Hereby we propose to the
Ledger and to Colonel Gordon to
! discuss the subject openly before
. the general assembly and the pub
lie, in Atlanta, as early after the
legislature meets as may be con
venient for Colonel Gordon. If
we do not keep him very busy and
very warm during the debate and
at the end of it get a larger show
of hands for our side of the ques
tion than he will get for his side
we will yield him the full honors
of a victory and bear with humili- |
ty the verdict of our defeat.
““What do the Ledger and Colo
nel Gordon say to this offer?”’
The editor of The News has heard
Editor Small debate this question—an
inspiring theme for those who love
humanity—with an array of able and
experienced mill men, and if Mr. Gor
don lets The Ledger make him a party
to the proposed contest he will be a
most unwise man. The discussion
would be a great thing for the advo
cates of child labor legislation. And
it would be worth going miles to
hear. G
THE INCREASE IN PRICES.
A bulletin issued by the Federal
Bureau of Labor shows that the
‘wholesale prices of articles in common
use have steadily increased during the
last four years. '
The average increase in the price of
farm products in 1904 over the aver
age for the years from 1890 to 1899 is
26 per cent. The average increase in
the prices of fifty-two articles of food
is nearly 7 per cent. The price of
cloth and clothing has increased 32
per cent. Metals have increased in
price to the extent of 10 per cent. The
increase in the price of lumber and
building material is marked 24.6 per
cent. Drugs, chemicals, house fur
nishing goods and miscellaneous
articles show increases of 10 per cent.
As a contemporary notes, the newspa
per remains at the same old price.
THE reunion of the Confederate vet
erans in Louisville last week was one
of the most successful, from every
standpoint, that has ever been held.
The parade of the old fellows was a
fine yet pathetic show. They marched
three miles in splendid fettle, without
showing any sign of the fatigue they
must have felt. They were on dress
parade, in their faded grey, and the
glory of their history gave them
strength to go through the ordeal
without faltering.
HOKE SMITH said to Editor Bagwell
of the Gwinnett Journal: *I do no#
want the office for the money that's in
the place nor for the honor, but to rid
this state from the rule of corpora
tions and ringsters. They would
spend $500,000 to beat me.”” Five hun
dred thousand dollars is a heap of
money., and the Macan News hasn’t
any idea that ‘‘the corporations and
ringsters’’ estimate Mr. Smith’s dam
aging powers as great as he does him
self.
’
W ASHINGTON has been selected as
the place of meeting of the peace plen
ipotentiaries of Russia and Japan. It
is doubtful if a more satisfactory
place could have been chosen. While
it is true a majority of public senti
ment has been on the side of Japan
the United States has observed a
strict neutrality.
SOME New York people who recently
sued Thomas W. Lawson for $25,000
have just paid him $ll,OOO to call it
square. Whereupon a contemporary
remarks that they are probably con
vinced now there is something more
than wind in frenzied finance.
A CONNECTICUT man who fell down
stairs and broke both his legs finds,
now that he is getting well, that his
rheumatism, from which he had suffer
ed for twenty years, has left him. The
new cure is too violent, however, to
be generally popular.
THE New York Tribune asks: ‘‘Are
lightning rods useful?”’ Editor Estill
of the Savannah News, who is the
proprietor of one himself, thinks they
are, to judge from the way they are
worn about primary and convention
times. j
~ THE budding statesman will charge
‘upon the state house next Wednesday
with a pocketful of bills and salvation
for the commonwealth. He will know
be’ter next time.
Dick RUSSELL'S nine children
would just about fill the executive
mansion. They need some lively
youngsters on fashionable Peachtree,
anyhow.
“POVERTY,’’ says Mr. Carnegie, ‘‘is
a priceless heritage.”” And it seems
to be in the reach of nearly every
body except Mr. Carnegie.
SAYS the observant Boston Globe:
““The grass is coming up fresh and
green this spring.”” Not unusual, but
lquite alarming just now.
MAYOR WOODWARD is right handy
'with his veto. And he has a knack of
’giving good and clear reasons every
‘time he uses it.
WHEN your Uncle Joe Hall mounts
the stump the fireworks will begin sure
enough. He always shoots a cannon
cracker.
Ir Clark Howell continues to grow
in grace he will soon be able to give
the reformers dots on reform.
THE ‘‘reformer’’ is usually like the
prohibitionist. He wants it for the
other fellow.
ANOTHER horrible example. A New
Jersey milkman was drowned in his
well.
THE Rome Tribune calls them Hoke
patkin and Clarkuroki.

CORK_TREES GROW IN GEORGIA.
Several of Them .in Dooly, Irwin and
Stewart Counties.
ABBHVILLE, GA., June 20.—The
Morning News of the 12th contained
an item from a western exchange
referring to a cork tree in Arizona as
perhaps the only one in the United
States. The returns were not all in.
Georgia had cork trees before Arizo
na became a part of the Unecle Sam’s
domain.
A specimen, known to three genera
tions, is growing within three miles of
Abbeville, and Dooly, Stewart and
Irwin counties have one or more each.
The cork tree near here is on the
old Mc¢Duffey plantation, and was set
out there by John McDuffey, the
grandfather of men and wom n now
gray headed. No one can give the
exact date of the transplanting, or
even approximate the age of the tree.
It is about two feet in diameter and
thirty-five feet high.
The cork of commerce is from the
bark of cultivated trees, grown in
Spain, the south of France and north
ern Italy. The tree could be easily
grown on a commercial scale in Geor
gia.
MUST PAY $1,000,000 TAXES,
The State Wins Case Against the Central
and the Georgia Railroads.
Unless the supreme court intervenes
the Central of Georgia railroad com
pany and the Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company must pay to the
state of Georgia and to several coun
ties a sum aggregating $1,000,000.
Judge JohnT. Pendleton of the su
perior court of Fulton ecounty has
handed down his decision in the fa
mous injunction proceedings institut
ed by the Central and Georgia roads
against Controller General William
A. Wright and Sheriff John W.
Nelms to prevent the collection of
the back taxes alleged to be owed by
these two roads on $3,000,000 worth of
stock in the Western Railway of Ala
bama, which stock is owned jointly by
the two roads that instituted the suit.
The prayer for injunction is denied,
and unless the roads pay up the back
taxes demanded the controller general
will at once levy upon sufficient prop
erty to pay.
HOKE AND DICK.
trom the Grifin News.
Hoke Smith says he is going to
stump the state. Well, Hoke has
plenty of money and can afford it.
No one but a rich man can afford to
run for governor these days. Dick
Russell has a wife and nine children,
and will have a hard time to reach the
goal, but he would make an honest
goyernor.
OLD MR. IDUNNO.
Now, who stepped on the flower bed
And trampled on it so?
It wasn’'t Jim or Ned or Dick,
But Mister Idunno. .
Nobody ever saw his face
Though they hunt high or low,
And yet he's here, for everything
Is done by Idunno.
He must be very old indeed,
For long, so long ago,
When father was a little boy
He, too, knew Idunno.
Who broke the windows in the barn ?
Who lost the garden hoe?
Who tried to chop the cherry tree?
oOld Mister Idunno.
Lucinda’s books ean’t be found!
Oh, dear! Where did they go?
I 'suppose they were mislaid again
By Mister Idunno.
[ wonder if we moved away
Would he pack up also?
[ fear no matter where we went
~ We’'d find old Idunno.
