RESIGNED CHARGE AT CORDELE

Work and Reside at Parrott.
The many friends in Dawson and
Terrell county of Rev. and Mrs. A.

the following from the Americus
Times-Recorder:
“pr. and Mrs. A. B. Campbell ar
rived yesterday from Cordele, and
are guests of Dr. and Mrs. Evan T.
Mathis for a few days at their home
on Lee street. The hundreds of
warm friends of Dr. Campbell will
be interested in the information that
he has resigned the pastorate of the
Cordele Baptist church, where he has
conducted a most successful work in
the Master's vineyard for the past
several years. The church was stren
uously opposed to giving up this good
man and able minister, hat Dr.
Campbell’s health renders retirement
from active work for a time, at least,
imperative. He will continue his
ministerial work as it suits him, but
for a year will have no fixed charge.
Dr. and Mrs. Campbell will make
their home for a time at Parrott,
near Dawson, with their daughter,
Mrs. Sim Carter.”

MAN SMOTHERED IN WHEAT
§ e
‘{FELL INTO PIT CONTAINING
‘ 3,000 BUSHELS OF GRAIN.
| A
iThe Little Kernels, Like Myriads of
| Cogs, Gripped His Feet and
| Drew Him Down to Death.
| Patrick Dolan, foreman of grain
ih.andlers in the elevator of the Wil
liam Baird Company, at the foot of
Van Brunt street, Brooklyn, fell into
a pit containing 3,000 bushels of
grain at the noon hour yesterday,
says the New York World.
The little kernels, rolling againa't
one another like myriad cogs of a
great machine, gripped his feet, his
ankles, his legs, his knees, crowd
ing each other like honey cells, held
him fast and drew him down with a
power that was not painful motion,
| but irresistible pressure. It was the
ihand of the gentle death of the
|quicksands of wheat that Dolan had
lwarned his fellows against since he
=handled wheat as a boy twenty-seven
| years ago. He plunged this way and
ithat, and with every step the quick
‘jsands gripped him more firmly. Do
§lan, who had seen men go to death
jin the same pit, cried desperately for
! help.
[ Petro Amazio, a workman, was the
fonly one who heard him. He tossed
| one end of a rope to Dolan.
| Dolan seized the rope, stumbled,
and fell, and one arm was buried
deep in the millions of rolling ker
nels and held as gently and as fast
as though in the ooze of a jelly fish.
With the other he clutched wildly
at the rope, exhausting his strength
in the mania of fear that had over
come him.
Amazio, above, tried to calm him,
and screamed for help, and, as he
screamed, tue doomed foreman, in a
last spasm of strength, tugged sud
denly and powerfully at the rope’s
end. Amazio lost his balance and
fell, and in another second he, too,
was a prisoner.
| The little grains of wheat rose
llike a tide about Dolan, covered him,
;and bore him down thirty feet into
their depth, where there is pressure
!no man can withstand.
| Amazio’s cries had been heard.
| His fellow-workmen rushed to the
| great grain pit. They saw him for
[a second and then the surface closed
lover him as it had over the man
| whose life he had sought to save.
| The workmen stopped not a sec
{ond. Springing down from the
\shoulder of the pit they rushed to
Ithe street. Axes clove the cleats at
the chutes that run from the bot
;tom of the pit to the street wall,
{ where grain is loaded like steam
coal. The torrent of grain rushed
forth, a score of men with shovels
pushing it to one sidé to give the
|hul'rying mass behind it room. Sud
|denly they screamed with joy. The
‘body of Amazio shot down the chute.
| He was seized, carried inside and an
| ambulance was soon on hand. When
lhe opened his eyes his first cry was
| for Dolan, his foreman.
' The men about him stood aghast.
| It was the first they knew of Dolan
having been caught a prisoner in the
pit. They rushed to the street again.
Every chute was opened, and the
’3,000 bushels of grain were poured
linto the street.
| One of the chutes clogged. It was
tthe body of the foreman. A man on
|a rope was lowered inside, and in
| another minute the body was in the
lstreet. Dolan was dead.
Should Be Careful.
Mr. J. R. Martin, a worthy citi
zen of Terrell county has been an
noyed often of late by having his
horses frightened by passing auto
mobiles, of which there are several
in Dawson. In a card a couple of
weeks ago he warned the autoists
against the “consequences’’ if they
were not more careful. This must
have disturbed them a little bit,
for they secured a peace warrant for
Mr. Martin. He was sent for, but
investigation only disclosed that
there is a state law in regard to the
speed of automobiles and the care
that the drivers must exercise on the
highway in regard to horses. Very
few people, comparatively, can own
automobiles. Horses are a necessity
and will be for a long time, and
the horse that will not get fright
ened at one of the machines is a slow
horse anyway. This is not our fight,
and we have no ill will against the
automobile—wish everybody owned
one who wants it—but the drivers
should be careful.—Shellman Sun.
In Time of Peace.
In the first months of the Russia-
Japan war we had a striking exam
ple of the necessity for preparation
and the early advantage of those
who, so to speak, ‘“‘have shingled
their roofs in dry weather.” The
virtue of preparation has made his
tory and given to us our greatest
men. The individual as well as the
nation should be prepared for any
emergency. Are you prepared to
successfuily combat the first cold you
take? A cold can be cured much
more quickly when treated as soon
as it has been contracted and before
it has become settled in the system.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is fa
mous for its cures of colds and it
should be kept at hand ready for
use. For sale by Dawson Drug Co.,

May Open a Branch House.
Mr. Adams, a jeweler from Daw
son, was here today looking for a
location to open up a jewelry shop.
We shall be glad to welcome Mr.
Adams to our city should he decide
to cast his lot among us.—Cuthbert
Liberal-Enterprise.
Mr. Adams tells The News that he
looked over the situation in Cuthbert
with a view of opening a branch
house there. He will remain in
Dawson.
