Will Continue Efforts to Abol
ish the City Court.
ASKS VOTERS TO WRITE
Him a Card and Say They Want to
Get Rid of It. Renews Mr. Mer
" cer’s Proposition for a Vote of the
People on the Question.
Editor of The News: Every fair
minded citizen of Terrell county
ought to be willing to submit to the
majority rule in county matters.
The City Court is opposed by a
majofit_v of the people in the county,
and effort has been made for the
past two years to abolish it, by leg
jslative enactment or by direct vote
of the people, without success.
The forces advocating the court
contend that the majority favor the
court. If they are correct the court
ought to remain.
Why do the advocates of the court
steadfastly manipulate the legisla
tive committees? Why do they op
pose and prevent a vote by the peo
ple upon this question? Why is it
that they have so influenced the leg
islative committees that the people,
with a petition of SOO out of 1,200
voters, cannct through their repre
sentative neither abolish the court
nor get an opportunity to vote on the
question? It is simply because the
advocates of the court know that the
people are unalterably opposed to it,
and they know if the people are al
lowed to speak their will by ballot
the court is doomed.
Let's have a vote on the court.
It may be done in the following
manner. 1 invite every man in Ter
rell county to get a postal card and
write on the back ‘‘Against the
Court.” Then address the same to
me, and if the majority is against
the court I will go before the legis
lature with these voluntary state
ments, and all the chicanery andl
machinations of the advocates of the
court,will not prevent its destruction.
Surely no man who is opposed to thol
court will object to spending one
cent for a postal in order to have
his' vote recorded.
Now, I wish to say one thing to
the people. lam personally making
no fight upon any officer of the City'

A BURDEN TO ME.
Mi\‘\" ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main
L St., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: "
*“As I have found Peruna a blessing
for a severe case of catarrh of the head
and throat which I suffered from for a
number of years, I am only too pleased
tc give it my personal endorsement.
“Catarrh, such as I suffered from,
made life a burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up so that 1 was usually
troubled with a headache, and although
I tried many so-called remedies, noth
ing gave me permanent relief. I was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
“However, 1 did buy a bottle, and be
fore that was finished there was a
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged I kept on until I was com
pletely cured in a month’s time, and [
find that my general health is also ex
cellent.”
People -who prefer solid medicines
should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet
represents one average dose of Peruna.

hecause I do not believe any man

Dawson Found Columbus Easy After
the Tie in the First Game. The
Official Score of Last Game.
After playing Columbus to a tie
in the first game of the series of base
ball the Dawson team rallied and
took the last two games by the scores
of 6 to 0. and 3 to 1.
C. C. Ansley twirled for the locals
Tuesday, and gave up only three hits,
winning his game in a walk.
Wednesday's game was as pretty
an amateur contest as has been seen
in some time until the seventh in
ning, when the Columbus boys went{
up in the air and allowed the locals
to tally six times before they d(.-—i
scended. John Hill, Dawson’s home
raised pitcher, held his rivals safe
at all stages of the game, giving up
only four hits in all, two of which
were the merest scratches. ‘
The entire Dawson team playved
good ball, while Peddy and Key
starred for the visitors. Key's catch
of Geise's fly just back of short in
the fifth inn.ng was the feature of
the game. The box score follows:
Columbus.

THE LATE CAPT. OXFORD. l
The Farmers' Union Passes Resolu
tions in Honor of His Memory.
The subject of this sketch was
born in Walker county, Georgia, May
11, 1836. When about 20 years of
age he went to Texas; entered the
confederate army when very young,
and rendered valuables ervice, being
loyval to the cause he espoused, and
was faithful all the while, filling his
place nobly to the end.
He married Miss Mary Commander !
in Terrell county, Georgia, August'
27, 1865. This marriage was blessed
with several children, most of whom,
together with his beloved wife, sur
vive him to mourn his death. In his
death the community sustained a
‘grvat loss. He departed this life
’l\lay 11, 1908, which date was his
seventy-second birthday.
i For many years he had been a
consistent member of the Sardis I'lap-{
tist church. As Captain Oxford be
|longed to the Masonic fraternity, af
-Iter the funeral had been preached
|ln)’ Rev. M. B. L.. Binion the members
iof his lodge at Dawson, Ga., took
‘(‘hargv of the remains and interred
’them with the impressive ceremony
|of that order.
Captain Oxford was a good neigh
bor and successful man in the busi
ness world; therefore be it resolved:
Ist. That we, the Terrell County
Farmers’ Union, commend to all sur
members the life of Brother Oxforé
as worthy of emulation.
2nd. That we extend to the be
reaved family our heartfelt sympa
thy in this sorrowful dispensation of
God's providence, and bid them find
comfort in the promises of the Great
I Am, “and look unto the hills, from
whence cometh their strength.”
drd. That a copy of these resolu
tions be furnished the family, and
that copies be sent The Dawson News
and Union News for publication.

They Are Still Pouring Hot Shot
Into the Delegation to Denver
Glessner Hot in the Collar.
From the Griffin News.
Our Hoke Smith friends can at
any rate congratulate themselves up
on one thing—they never had a
chance to get on the Denver delega
tion that insisted on spilling all of
Georgia’s political fat in the fire.
Having effectually misrepresented
nine-tenths of their constituents
without gaining any glory for them
selves the Georgia delegation need
not be in any hurry about coming
home. A few side trips in the moun
tains would enable them to cool off
a little and give the rest of us a
chance to forget.
“Georgia, at Denver, is as immova
ble as a rock. The attention of the
nation is drawn to Georgia. The
state knows about this ‘anti-every
thing' business, and a burned child
knows how to act next time,” boasts
the Augusta Chronicle, whose hoss
is one of the big four of the delega
tion that has been attracting ‘‘the
attention of the nation’ as the great
est aggregation of‘political chumps
that ever got that far from home.
Accepted at Their True Value.
From the Blakely News. 2
Having made asses of themselves
at the national democratic conven
tion in Denver last week the Georgia
delegation is now resentful because
the convention accepted them at
their true valuation; and now we
are told that Georgia is no longer a
democratic state, but is to go popu
list or republican in November.
HONEY IN SMOKESTACKS. |
Bees Light Upon Idle Locomotive as
Fine Place to Hive.
Bees are swarming in the smoke
stacks of the idle locomotives and
whippoorwills are nesting under the
stored cars belonging to the Pennsyl
vania railroad near the shops in At
toona, Pa. Thus the hard times are
not without an odd feature now and
then. |
An immense swarm of bees took‘
possession of a smokeless smoke
stack, and got busy, preparing for
a long stay, when a workman discov
ered them. He brought a hive and
took them home.
RUINOUS TO HEALTH.
Are Chemical Preservatives, Says
Expert Wiley.
Dr. H. W. Wiley, the government
chemist, has made public the results
of his experiments with a number of
voung men who were fed with foods
in which benzoic acid and benzoate
of soda were used as preservatives.
Ll)r. Wiley states that bezoic acid,
either as such or in the form of ben
’zoate of soda, is highly objectionable
‘and produces a serious disturbance of
‘the metabolic functions, attended
‘with injury to digestion and health.
'The symptoms attending are irrita
|tion. nausea and headache.
| “Results of these investigations
‘have shown,” says Dr. Wiley, ‘“‘that
there is not a single article of food
Iwhich has been commonly preserved
| by means of benzoic acid or benzoate
tof soda which cannot be preserved
| and offered to the consumer in per
|fect condition without the aid of any
lchemical preservatives. This fact has
been completely demonstrated in the
\(-ase of ciders and grape juice, mince
| meat, jelly, jams, catsups, preserves
iand other articles of the same char
!;mter.

THE DAWSON NEWS.
The Disgruntled Ones.
From the Moultrie Observer.
The Georgia delegation to the na
tional convention seems to have its
back up yet. Having been run over
at Denver by the steam roller of the
Brvan boom they are unable to see
any good in Mr. Bryan or any pros
pects of his winning.
It is being suggested by the At
lanta correspondents to out of town
papers, who always express the feel
ings of the disgruntled state politi
cians when the said politicians have
not the nerve to express them out in
the open, that an effort will be made
to carry the state against Bryan. It
is even suggested that the state will
go for Tom Watson, and that Mr.
Taft will get a big vote. It is all
rot. Mr. Bryan will carry Georgia
by his usual large majority, and
those sore-heads have no hope of
doing anything more than embarrass
Mr. Bryan by giving the impression
in the doubtful states that the most
solidly democratic state in the un
ion, baring Texas, may leave the
democratic ranks.
Not the Democracy of Georgia.
From the Columbus Ledger.
Some of the newspaper corres
pondents in Georgia profess to be
lieve that there is a possibility of
Georgia not going democratic this
vear. Upon what do they base their
opinion? Do they feel this way be
cause the Georgia delegation to Den
ver cut up as it did? That delega
tion is not the democracy of Geor
gia, and 1t didn’'t represent a very
large proportion of the democrats of
this state in the convention.
AXE SHARP FOR TWO SINECURES i
While an Extra One Is to Be (”roatc-dl
With a Good Salary. l
Bills to reduce the railroad com
mission to three members and to‘
abolish the office of attorney to the:
‘commission have been introduced inl
;both the house and senate. It is noti
likely that they will come up for pas- |
sage during the prescnt session. The
bill was introduced in the senate by
Senator J. J. Mattox of the Fifth dis
trict. It was introduced in the house |
by Mr. Hardeman, representative
from Jefferson county.
The senate committee on agricult
ure has agreed to report favorablyi
the bill of Senator Felder to abolish‘;
the office of state oil inspector. Ac
cording to Senator Felder the abo]i-l
tion of the place of oil inspector will
save the state at least $1,200 a year.

I The constitutional two-thirds ma
ljority of all members was barely se
cured, the sergeant at arms being
forced to seine the capitol for mem
bers.
The last vote cast was that of Mr.
Hall of Bibb, who announced that he
was opposed to the bill, but would
cast his vote for it if the vote was
required to make the constitutional
{majority. The roll call disclosed 121
{votes in favor of the bill, and as the
'majority required was 122 Mr. Hall
'icast his vote for it.
