Second of the Series a Victory for
Dawson. Oniy Two Innings of
Last Game Were Played.
The series of ball games on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday be
tween Dawson and Fort Gaines on the
local diamond resulted in a draw,
Fort Gaines taking the first, Dawson
the second, and neither team scoring
in the two innings played Wednesday
afternoon, when the game was stopped
by rain.
The first contest, as fully detailed
in THE NEWS, was a victory for Fort
Gaines by a score of 3 to 1, and was a
fine exhibition of ball playing.
The game Tuesday was hotly battled
for, and it looked for a time as if the
Clay countians would pull down more
palms, but the end told the story of 4
to 3 in Dawson’s favor.
~ Fort Gaines scored twice in the first
inning and again in the second. while
Dawson during the same time had
nothing to show for its chances at bat,
'but in the fourth the home team woke
up and Taylor, Groover and Ransome
had a tally chalked to ihe credit of
each, thus evening up the score. The
fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth
innings told nothing in the way of
runs, and with the score 3 and 3 Fort
Gaines took its tenth inning without
result. ‘ |
Not so with Dawson. Groover found
the ball for a two base hit, and
Taylor following him rapped the
sphere out into right, bringing
Groover home and defeating the vis- }
itors. Dawson rooters went wild with
the end of the tense suspense, and for(
awhile the side lines were a mass ()f‘
velling, jumping, hat walving enthu
siasts. . |
As a matter of course all interest
centered in Wednesday's game, .whem
the draw was to be pulled off, b}lt]
only two innings were played, wherein
neither side seored, on account of rain.
The disappointment was very great.
It is not known whether the two teams
will meet again soon or not. .
Fort Gaines left Wednesday night
for Columbus for a series of three
games.
BURT WESTON KILLED.
Former Dawsonian Is Mangled by
Train in Albany.
News of the sudden death of Mr.
Burton Weston in Albany Friday was
received in Dawson with profound
sorrow. He was run down by a Cen
tral passenger train from Alabama
about noon, and sustained injuries
which resulted in his death a few hours
later. Being quite deaf, he could not
hear and did not see the train which
struck him. Mrs. Weston is criti
cally ill with typhoid fever, and could
not be told of her husband’s fate.
The deceased was well known in
Dawson, having been reared in this
city. His father was Captain S. R.
Weston, a prominent citizen and
editor of the Dawson Journal for
many vears.
In Memory of Mrs. S. E. Cook.
On Monday evening, June 19, Mrs.
S. E. Cook passed away from this
world at the age of seventy-eight. She
had been residing in Parrott with her
son, Dr. H: A, Cook, for several
years. For fifty years she had been a
prominent member of the Primitive
Baptist church, and there was never
known a truer or more faithful
christian woman. In her declining
years she suffered many afflictions, but
she had the comfort of Christ in her
heart to help her bear her afflictions
and tria'~. Thank God for the golden
staff which supported a friend, a moth
er and a true christian as she went
forth to meet the last enemy-—death—
which to the christian is but the open
door into the glories of the heavenly
land.
The gains of death are past,
Labor and sorrow cease;
And life's long warfare closed at lust
Her soul is found in peace. €. 0 A.

FATE OF BILL NOT DECIDED
Representative Rainey Wants fc
Know Wish of People in Regard
| to City Charter Amendment.
Hon. E. L. Rainey left for Atlanta
vesterday, and will be present when
the legislature convenes this moruing.
The session will last fifty days.
When asked what course he would
pursue with reference to the two bills
that have been advertised with a view
to amending the city charter so as to
make the mayor and aldermen of Daw
son ineligible to succeed themselves he
stated that he was undecided, as it was
a matter in which he would be gov
erned by the wishes of the people of
the city, nothing like a majority of
whom had yet expressed themselves to
him. He stated, however, that quite
a number of prominent business men
and citizens had seen him and m-,«.‘;edi
the passage of the bill which proposes
to make the mayor and aldermen inel
igible to succced themselves after
serving two yvears. Very few seem to |
be in favor of making the terms of
these officials four years, thomgh that
proposition has some advocates.
An idea prevails in the minds of a
few that if the charter is amended |
mayor and councilmen, after serv
ing one term, would be disquali
fied for election for all future
time. This, of course, would not be
the case. These officials would be eli
gible and could again be candidates
after an intervening term of two years.
The representative would be glad if
the people, both those who favor and
oppose the measure, would let him
know their wishes concerning it.
A general measure of importance
that Representative Rainey will intro
duce will be an amendment to the va
grancy law making certain the pun
ishment of persons convicted of this
oftense. Such an amendment would
make this law, which can now hardly
be enforced, much more effective than
it is at present.
DEATH OF MR. S. D. ENGLISH.
Elder Everitt Writes of the Demise
of His Relative.
The messenger of death visited the
home of our cousin on the evening of
the 21st inst. and called Samuel David
English from this earthly home of ours
to come up higher. He suffered untold
agonies for fifteen days with remittent
fever. David was from his early
childhood an obedient and loving
child to his parents, kind to his broth
ers and sisters. .Oh, how heart-rend
ing it is to give up so good and loving
a son and brother. He grew up into
manhood retaining his kind and gen
tle spirit. We, the kin, and also the
friends, only knew him to love and
appreciate him, but we had to give
him up after all that kind and loving
hands, assisted by an able and at
tentive physician, could do. But we
feel that our loss is his gain.
He leaves a wife, three children,
father, mother, eight brothers, three
sisters and a number of relatives and
friends to mourn for him. But we
submit to the will of God as best. We
can and do adopt the language of one
of old: ‘‘The Lord giveth and the
Lord taketh away; blessed be the
name of the Lord.”” His cousin,
W. T. EVERITT.
