Herod Merchant's Card in The News Created Something
of a Sensation, and Led to His Arrest Under a
Peace Warrant. The Matter Adjusted.
The publication in The News of
a card by Mr. J. R. Martin, the
Herod merchant, warning automo
bilists to keep a safe distance from
his teams or abide the consequences,
caused a mild sensation, and led to
his arrest under a peace warrant.
The warrant was taken before
Justice J. B. Pickett, and was signed
py Dr. Lamar, Dr. Chappell, 33 E‘
Gurr, Wiley Baldwin, J. S. Clay and
perhaps others who use the ‘red
devils.”
Sheriff Oxford telephoned Mr.
Martin that he had the warrant, and
requested that he come to the city.
This he did Monday, and after a
conference of all the parties inter
ested the matter was adjusted sat
isfactorily, and the warrant with

THE CENTRAL'S CREEPERS
CONTINUE TO DIVIDE HONORS
WITH SLOW-GAITED SNAIL.
Passenger Trains Are from One to
Four Hours Late Every Day.
General Over the State.
The passenger trains of the Cen
tral railroad are Kkeeping up their
record of never arriving on sched
ule time.
Every train on this road, especial
1y those going west, are from one
to four hours late every day. This
has been the case for months, and
there seems to be no prospect of
immediate improvement.
People who start anywhere by the
Central have no assurance when they
will get there—if they ever do. The
people of Dawson have become SO
used to late trains that they never
know when to look for one, and they
never expect the arrival of one un
til they hear the whistie blow.
The late and irregular arrival of
the mails also causes much annoy
ance and inconvenience, and inter
feres with the prompt and proper
transaction of business.
The whole railroad systera of the
state seems to be demoralized and
out of whack. The following is
printed to show -that Dawson and
the other towns along the line of
the Central are not the only ones
that are suffering, but that the
trouble is apparently general. Under
the caption, “What Is the Troubie
With Railroad Schedules?” the At
lanta Constitution says:
“At no time during the past ten
vears have there been as many coni
plaints of delayed railroad trains as
during the past few months.
“What is the trouble, and what iz
the remedy? v
“If a passenger huys a ticket hc
has a right not only o expect bt
to demand that, without providential
interference, he he put at his desti
nation at or near schedule time.
“When the governnrent makes a
contract with the railroads for nail
_distribution time {s, in the nature c:
things, the eszence of tha coafralt,
and it should be the duty of Lhe
postoflice department to see to it that
where mails are held over by de
layed trains and missed connections
forfeiture should be exacted accord
ingly from the public carrier which
thus fails to meet its obligation.
“Nobody expects any railroad to
operate its schedules with exact ac
curacy every day in the year. But
the public has a right to expect that
delayed trains and missed connec
tions be the exception and not the
rule. 5
“Through carlessness, bad manage
ment or something some of the mail
trains out of Atlanta are running
constantly behind, missing important
connections, and almost daily incon
veniencing not only the traveling
public but thousands who have a
right to expect prompt mail deliv
ery.
“Is it not about time, with the view
of remedying the trouble, to apply
the principle of ‘no service, no pay?”

SEABROOK'S STIFF SENTENCES.
r SRR
‘Well-to-Do White Men Got Straight
: Terms in Chaingang.
] Solicitor-General Laing returned
‘from Colquitt Saturday night after
'a busy week in Miller superior court.
Judge Seabrook of the Atlantic cir
cuit presided, and set the hair on
‘the lawbreakers. One white man, a
lwell-to—do citizen, was given a
straight chaingang sentence of six
months for cursing a woman, and
lanother one who was convicted of a
' misdemeanor was sent to the chain-
Igang for twelve months. In other
cases he ignored recommendations
iby the jury that misdemeanor
isentences be imposed upon parties
’convicted of felonies, and sent the
prisoners to the penitentiary for
terms of years.
There were several murder cases
on the docket, most of the defend
ants being white men, but only one
was tried. John Ball, who murdered
two negroes and a white man, was
acquitted after the jury was out two
or three days.
All of the business of the court
was not disposed of by a good deal,
and it is understood that Judge
Worrill will hold an adjourned term
in January. This will, in all prob
ability, be the first court held by the
new judge.
JUDGE RAINES WILL NOT AGAIN
PRESIDE OVER CITY COURT.
Has Made a Fine Record, and the
Good Effects of His Adminis
tration Will Long Be Felt.
The city court adjourned Thurs
day after a very busy session of sev
eral days, during which a great
amount of business was disposed of.
Judge Raines practically cleared the
dockets, ridding them of more than
80 cases. All but about a dozen of
these were criminal cases.
Judge Raines announced that he
would not preside over another ses
sion of thé court, and adjourned it
until the 10th of December, when
his successor, Judge M. C. Edwards,
will go into office.
After a service of four years Judge
Raines will retire from the bench
with a record of which he may well
be proud. While at times some may
have criticised him for the vigorous
manner in which he enforced the
law none can question the fact that
he has been an able, upright and
impartial judge, and that his ad
ministration has been in the interest
of society and good government.
Pistol “‘toters,” contract jumpers,
common thieves and blind tigers
have been made to feel the strong
arm of the law, while all classes of
eriminals have learned that punish
ment, if need be severe, awaits them.
We have had able and learned
judges to preside over the courts of
our county, but none have done more
towards the suppression of crime and
the just enforcement of the laws
‘than Judge Raines. He has done
well, and Terrell county will for a
long time feel the good effects of
' his administration. It would be
| much better for the country if there
lwere more on the bench like him.

‘retaries, also our confernece and gen- |
‘eral officers in the leadership and di-!

notices relative to tnis meeting; also
the church board for the courtesy
of their beautiful church. :

debted to Brothers Long, Olmstead,

and assistance.
“sth. That we will hold in grate

of Dawson who so hospitably opened
their homes and hearts to receive us
and have shown us such sisterly love
and welcome as to make our stay
one of perfect delight, the memory
of which will remain with us like
a benediction. !

AN OPEN LETTER
to the People of Dawson.
To Whom It May Concern:
Of late there has been a good deal
of discussion in Dawson in regard
to advertised medicines and their
value—the papers are full of them.
We want to say to every man, wo

lieve the most valuable preparation
of cod liver oil—the best tonic re
constructor, health restorer and
strength creator—we have ever sold

Vinol is not a patent medicine, it
contains no injurious drugs, but it
actually does contain all of the me

offer to return money if it fails.
