Newspaper Page Text2 DAWSON NEWS. e e e PUBLISHED WEEKLY AT $l.OO PER YEAR —_— \ B e Lo RAINEY.. —_——— DAWSON, GA., Juuy 12, 1905. ————————————————————— DAWSON POSTOFFICE RECEIPTS. Local postal receipts are a pretty vood indication of a town's growth and progress. 1t will be seen by ref erence to the local” columns of The News, the report of Postmaster Alex ander for the fiscal year, ending June 30th, shows the largest amount of husiness ever done by the Dawson oftice and an increase of $1,254.48 over receipts of the last fiscal year. Only about $4OO was lacking to raise the office from third to second class. Dawson’s growth in point of busi ness and population cannot be ques tioned. The postal receipts are but one of the many evidences of its pro sress. And you can’t find a single Dawsonian who doesn’t believe the town has a bright future before it. Its past progress—the sort that is even and conservative, and withal whole some—and its present well directed ef forts argue a bright tomorrow for it. MRE. STEVENS' APPOINTMENT. The appointment of Hon. O. B. Stevens as railroad commissioner to succeed Hon. J. Pope Brown has been made by Governor Terrell. It is a well bestowed honor. Mr. Stevens has made a model commis sioner of agriculture. Under his management of this bureau no depart ment of the state government has been more wisely regulated, Mr. Stevens having brought it up to a high stand ard of excellence. It is but natural to suppose that the same intelligence and ability that have characterized him in this capacity will distinguish his ad ministration of the duties of railroad commissioner. There is much gratification over Mr. Stevens’ appointment in Terrell county and Dawson, his home. His host of friends congratulate him on this honor. THERE is every indication that this vear’s cotton crop will bring a price well up around the ten-cent mark. The acreage is certainly below the aver age. This conditirn is true in Terrell ecounty, where excessive rains have worked much damage to the plant. But abnormally high prices are not to the ultimate interest of . farmers, cot ton spinners or business men general ly. They would result undoubtedly in an over-acreage the following season, when a distressing reaction might well be looked for. The farmers, we believe, will be satisfied if cotton brings ten cents or thereabouts. . WE are watching with anxiety for the advent of the campaign poet. So many things rhyme with reformation. Almost any day now the sublimity of the ‘‘divine call’’ may suggest the ode. We don’t want to be plunged into any controversy, so we say posi tively in the beginning that we are not responsible if a typographical error makes us say ‘‘owed.”’ A SPEAKER before the [Epworth League meeting in Denver said ‘‘the very smell of tobacco smoke is an in eentive to immoral and pernicious eonduct.”” Perhaps he had caught the fumes of the ten-year-old pipe of the man next door and had had indulged in a vengeful spirit to break. up his neighbor’s property. Now is an opportunity for some en terprising fellow to get rich by open ing up a guessing contest, at ten cents a guess, as to which will be the new gounties established. If just every paper that has hazarded a prophecy would send in an answer there would be stacks of money in it. A MAN and a woman in Savannah have been . cured of rheumatism by electric shocks. But it is not expect ed that the remedy will become popu l: . People will be just as shy of live wires, and but few will take any un necessary chances on lightning. IT ought not to make one particle of difference to southwest Georgia, as far as its own supply of meat is concerned, whether there is a beef trust or not. It should be as much a cattle country as a cotton country. T begins to look as if Philadelphia hasn’t been the only place for the get rich-quick grafters. A government job of secondary impertance has every indication of being an open se same to the treasure cave. JaranN would show the world that it is still in the fighting humor, and it will probably still be in the fighting humor for some time to come. Ameri ¢a will vet have to knock the chip off and the chip bearer down. : THE Washington Post asks the guestion, ‘‘Where is Arcady?’’ Per haps, with sufficient longevity, it can be answered by the process of elimi nation. A CHICAGO professor alleges that a man may live forever if fed on the ~ proper diet. How about dope food? A SPECIAL from Carrolton says, l “‘Reports coming in from all over the county are to the effect that the fourt-h‘ of July was a notable day for eloping couples marrying.”” We wonder how.‘ many of them got a blowing up. ' IT's unkind to even insinuate that all this hot air from the candidates will ripen the peach crop prematurely. Are we to infer that anything has been said that would make the peaches blush? l WE haven’t heard anything about reformation from Judge Dick Russell' vet. Circulation is his long suit.. He ‘made many warm friends in those for ty counties he visited. THEY tried to kill a negro up in New York the other day for interfer l ing with a boy’s baseball game. We ‘can’t recall any similar case of mob ‘violence in the south. THE Pacific route was of course taken by the Japanese peace envoys. Let us hope they will choose the pa cific route in their journey through the peace conference. THE next thing we know some of those Chicago professors will be ex pounding a wonderful doctrine of how to keep cool in a gubernatorial cam paign in July. A FELLOW out in Washington kill ed several men because he wanted to make them good. Tnis is a case where conviction will doubtless follow con version. Ir that $10,000,000 just given by Mr. Rockefeller to education is ‘‘taint ed’’ it will be disinfected. There will be no quibbling about its acceptance. THE Savannah News thinks the noise of a gubernatorial campaign has opened up too early. Col. Estill is no doubt sawing wood in silence. | [ SUPPOSE some of the agricultural department officials do use the word lin giving vent to their feelings. Itis ’natural for them to dam the leak. ~ LAWSON observes that Roosevelt is helpless in the system’s net. Does he mean to convey the impression that the president is a sucker? LET us at least hope that leakage will not occur in the seed division of the agricultural department. It might cut off our supply. SEED is not the only thing the farm er expects to get out of cotton this year. There ought to be nice velvet in it. PROPLE, as a rule, who give others an evil name are disappointed when they rail to live up to'it. IT’s a wonderful age. The next thing we know we'll be eating wireless asparagus. } It begins to look as if the nationul; motto should be ‘‘Money in Min utes.”’ AT least the oppressive summertime hasn’t made the candidate languid. SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS, From the Savannah News. ' The average American is character istically extravagant. He (or she) does not appreciate the value of money. In a majority of cases the money is spent as fast as it is received: in a large number of instances it is spent in ad vance of receipt, which makes the oe casion of the ‘‘Shylock’ and keeps the sign of the three balls continually in evidence. Some twenly vears ago a lorg-head ed student of human nature worked out a system of public school savings banks with the purpose in view of teaching children the value and power of money, and the advisability of practicing economy and saving. Un der the scheme deposits of one cent and upwards were to be received, and interest was to be allowed under cer tain conditions. Recently a Mr Thiry of New York made an examination into the status of school savings banks. He found that the banking feature had been adopted in 1,080 schools in vari ous parts of the country:that in twen ty years there had been deposits in them aggregating $2,782,000, and with drawals of $2,165,072, the remainder standing to the credit of the youthful depositors. This, it is to be observed, is not a bad showing: and it is reason able to suppose that the after-etfects of the school bank deposit has been good. The child who acquired the habit of maintaining an account in the school bank would be more than apt to desire to own an account in a regularly established ecommercial bank after leaving school. The scheme is an application of the old proverb about taking care of the pen nies and the pounds will take care of themselves. Anything that will im press the lesson of that old proverb on the minds of voung Americans is a good thing, deserving of encourage ment. PEN WENT TO PEN WIELDER. Mrs. Myrick Has Instrument Tnat Signed stevens and Hudson’s Commissions, Mrs. Marie Louise Myrick of the Americus Times-Recorder is the hap py possessor of the pen with which Governor Terrell signed the commis sions of Hon. O. B. Stevens as rail road commissioner and of Hon. Thom as G. Hudson as commissioner of ag riculture. Mrs. Myrick is a warm personal friend of both Mr. Stevens and Mr. Hudson, whose home also is in Amer icus. Mrs. Myrick also had the pleas ure of carrying to the governor the resignation of Mr. Stevens as com missioner of agriculture in order that she might more quickly see Mr. Hud son in possession of his commission ‘as the head of that department. The Dawson News. Wednesday, July 1% 19905, HOLMES BLED THE FARMERS. Statistician Used Government Job to Bear the Cotton Market. W ASHINGTON, July B.—As the re sult of the investigation by secret service agents into the charges made by Richard Cheatham, secretary of the Southern Cotton Association, that information had been given to cotton brokers in New York by some person or persons in the bureau of statistics in the department of agriculture, Secretary Wilson today made public an official report, in which he states that Kdwin S. Holmes, the associate statistician has been guilty of ‘‘jug oling’’ the official report. The report says it has been found that Heolmes communicated advance imformation to L. C. Van Riper, a New York broker, and M. Hass of ‘New York, who, Mr. Van Riper said, acted as a go-between in conveying information from Holmes to other New York brokers, including Theo dore Price. Steps have been taken by Secretary Wilson to prevent any further leakage of the department figures, and an en tire reorganization of the bureau of statistics and manner of preparing monthly crop reports has been out lined by him. The papers in connection with the investigation were referred to the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, and he has reported that in his opinion a criminal prosecution will not lie against Holmes. Holmes ‘has been dismissed from the service of the department. ® How Cheatham Got ‘‘Next.” ~ According to the report, Wilson Judd of New York, formerly in the employ of L. C. Van Riper, induced the latter to tell of his connections with Holmes and then communicated the information to Mr. Cheatham. Van Riper became the principal wit ness in the investigation conducted by the secret service, and said he was in duced to communicate the fact that advance information was being given out by Holmes because he had heard that Holmes and his associates had intended to try to manipulate the June cotton report. Using this information as a founda tion, the secret service agents inter viewed numerous persons who had been mentioned by Judd and Van Rip er, as well as gathering a mass of correspondence, including many let ters written by Holmes to Van Riper and others. I AFTER CIGARETTE SMOKERS. Proposed to Make It Unlawful for Anyone to Puff Them in Georgia. Dr. Len G. Broughton is going to help the legislature go for the cigar !ette smokers of the state. The house and senate Friday accepted his invi ' tation to hear him at the Baptist tab ernacle on Sunday night in favor ot the anti cigarette bill. There are now two of these bills be fore the legislature and it is not un | likely that Dr. Broughton will favor [both of them. The second of these bills made its appearance in thehouse Friday, and was by Mr. Corn of Towns. Mr. Corn wants the Indiana law enacted in Georgia. He pmp()sesf not simply to prohibit the manufacture and sale of cigarettes, a law \\'hich‘ might easily be evaded, he thinks, but to make it a misdemeanor for anyone to be caught smoking a cigarette with in the limits of the state. - Mr. Corn’s idea is to get at the fountainhead of the evil. Prohibition has never yet stopped people from drinking. Neither would the law pro hibiting the manufacture and sale of cigarettes stop those who want them from smoking them. A bill to stop the manufacture and sale of cigarettes and cigarette papers in Georgia isl also pending before the house. The temperance committee will have an in teresting session over these measures. It may be that Dr. Broughton and others will appear before the commit tee to urge favorable action. WHO HAS JURISDICTION ? Judge Spence of the Albany circuit has issued a writ of certiorari in the case of two privates of the Americus Light Infantry who recently engaged in a fisticuff in the company’s ar mory. The case was docketed in the police court as disorderly conduct and tighting in the city. The military company, represented by Attorney Hollis Fort, pleaded lack of jurisdie tion upon the part of the Americus authorities, the trouble occuring im the armory or state’s Yroperty. The contention was overruled, henee the proceedings before Judge Spence and the writ of cortiorari to the superior court, where it will be determined whether the case is one for trial before a military or civil tribunal. A MAP OF THE AIR. The Prince of Monaeo is rendering to aerial navigation a service more valu able than the invention of flying ma chines, says the London Globe. He seems to have set on foot a really sys tematic study of the air currents in the upper atmosphere. During one of his long cruises last year he perfected a system of kites which enabled him to secure useful results at an altitude of about 15,000 feet. In order to secure the advantages of co-ordinatfon and comparison his highness has induced the German government to order a series of similar experiments on cer tain warships, while the Portuguese government has also decided to Insti tute a service of the kind in connection with Lisbon observatory. Here is an international work in which other gov ernments might render aid. ‘A MOUNTAIN LION CONTRACT. Jonr Gei, e Zuiue of -President Roosevelt on both of hLis Colorado hunts, with Galatia Sprague and B. P. Wolls, who were also out on the last presidential hear hunt, recently passed through Denver on their way to Yel lowstone National park, where they have a four wyvear contract to destroy the mountain lion, lynx and bobcats that have been Eilling the deer and elk, says a Denver dispatch. Besides re ceiving pay of forest rangers the three men who have gone to Yellowstone are to have all the pelts of the game they kill. These will probably be worth sev eral thousand dollars a year.
