THE TREATMENT OF CONVICTS.
The News recently noted that since
the convict scandal came up the
Laurens county authorities are giv
ing their chaingang three hours for
dinner, and added that if this thing
keeps up the chaingang may yet be
eome a place for rest and recreation.
“Wherefore the Dublin Times ups and
FAVS:
The convict scandal had noth
ing to do with the concessions
made to the Laurens county con
victs. The extra hour was given
simply as a matter of justice.
The convicts are put to work as
goon as they can see in the
morning, and kept at it until
late in the evening. The hour
lost at noon is doubtless made
up in the increased efficiency of
the men. The convicts of this
county are well treated, as far
~ as the Times' information goes.
They are made to work, and to
work hard, but they are treated
like human beings—more than
can be said of the camps in oth
er counties.
Not all of the other counties, es
teemed contemporary. The Terrell
gounty camp, so far as newspaper re
ports show, was the only one
praised before the recent investigat
ing committee by the legislators who
had visited and inspected the various
gamps in the state. And there was
gomplaint, even, by the committee
of the extremely lax and kind manner
in which the convicts in our neigh
boring county of Randolph were
managed, it being declared that they
were ‘‘too well treated, and were be
ing worked side by side with free
labor, all apparently on the same
basis.”
Our convicts don't rest, perhaps,
guite as much as do those in Lau
rens county, but there is nothing the
matter with the treatment they re
eeive. It is as kind and humane as
sould be expected.
*‘OUT FOR THE HONEY.” !
Rev. J. D. Rabun has accepted 1
a call to the Baptist church at
Mt. Vernon, Montgomery coun
ty. It is said he desires the |
Perry church to release him on
September Ist. We are also ‘
told that the salary to be paid
there is less than he is now re
eeiving, and that he has accept
ed the call solely because his op
portunity for doing good will be
greater there than here.—Perry
Home Journal.
Yet there is a Baptist preacher out
in Ohio who has quit the pulpit be
eause he is disgusted with what he
terms the greed of the ministers.
This Ohio preacher takes too pessi
mistic and condemnatory a view of
the gentlemen of the cloth, and goes
too far when he says “mest of the
ministers of the day are out for the
money,”’ though, unfortunately, there
is more than a grain of foundation
for his sweeping assertion.
There are many preachers who
mistake the alluring bids of wealthy
congregations for the call of the
Master; there are many with whom
the prayer for Divine guidance on
such oceasions consists merely in a
careful calculation of the material
benefits to be gained by the change
from the more modest field to the
one with greater remuneration. Of
these men, doubtless, it is true they
are ‘““out for the money.”
But compared with the number
who are prompted wholly or even
largely by the promise of richer
earthly harvest is the legion who
are faithful to their calling—who are
self-abnegative, prayerful servants of
God and ministers to men. The
world is fuli of devoted men whe
are giving their lives to the service
of the Carpenter, and ‘nurdening‘
their hearts with the sorrows and
the errors of those whom they seek
to comfort and uplift. In no sense
are they ‘‘out for the money.”” The
majority of christian ministers make
at least an effort to live up to their
high calling.
We are tempted to believe that
the disgruntled Ohio minister was
“out for the money” himself, and
was disappointed and chagrined that
4e did not get more of it.
Mr. Bryan has cancelled his en
gugement to speak in Macon on Sep
teraber 14th. This action, the na
tiomal chairman announces, was
taken because almost every town and
city -of any size and prominence in
the south had wired Mr. Bryan and
headquarters since the announcement
of the Macon appointment was made
urging him to visit those places also.
‘While we all wgmd have been glad
to see Mr. Bryan it was not at all
necessary for him to come to Geor
gia. We will give him the biggest
vote in November the state has ever
given a candidate for president.
TWO OF THE VETOES.
Governor Smith used the veto
pretty freely on the measures passed
by the legislature, among the most
important which received his disap
proval being the bill extending the
school book contract two yvears, and
the one modifying the anti-pass rule
so that policemen and firemen might
ride free on street cars. In both of
these vetoes The News believes the
governor was right. There was
no necessity for extending the
school book contract bevond the
five years: for which it was origi
nally made. The measure was
obviously in the interest of the
school book concerns which hold the
present contracts, and no good rea
son has yet been advanced why they
should have the benefit of an ex
tension of two years beyond the ex
piration of their contracts in which
to supply books to the school chil
dren of Georgia without submitting
competitive bids. As to the other
veto, we do not know of anything
that would justify a modification of
the anti-pass rule,
¥LIP, FLAP, FLOP.
There was nothing startling
in this Watsonian endorsement
of the republican party, for the
people have long since learned
that so long as there are only
twenty-four hours in a day one
revolution of the sun is all too
short to cover the gyrations and
shifting affiliations of the dis
tinguished opportunist who has
never been faithful to anything
except self-interest and self
esteem.—Atlanta Journal.
The News is not Mr. Watson’s
apologist, and we condemn just as
strongly as The Journal does that
gentleman’'s present attitude toward
the democratic party and its candi
date for the presidency. But what
a different tune our Atlanta contem
porary is singing to that of two
years ago, when it just as vehement
ly denounced those democrats who
dared to protest against the eminent
populist leader meddling with the
affairs of the democratic party in
Georgia as it is now denouncing him.
Mr. Watson was no more a democrat
then than he is today. And it seems,
too, that there are others than him
whose conduct is - marked by the
“‘gyrations and shifting affiliations
of the opportunist.”
Let's keep the record straight as
we go along.
THE PROPRIETOR OF THE
NEW PARTY.
Mr. Hearst is too strenuous and
too radical, but he is a man of great
natural ability. He is either taking
politics too seriously or not serious
ly enough in going off with a new
party movement. If he seeks a lit
tle diversion it seems to be ill-timed,
for the tendency of the republican
party will lead us into a monarchy
if not crushed. Mr. Hearst should
use his great influence to antagonize
the republican party, and tnot to
draw from democracy. He will no
doubt see as the campaign progresses
that he is sacrificing patriotism to
avenge some fancied wrong. It is
hoped he will yet line up for Mr.
Bryan.
Hon. Murphy Candler, who is per
haps ®oser to the governor than any
other member of the legislature and
is looked upon as the medium
through which the most important
Smith policies are given voice on the
foor of the house, has framed for
¢insideration at the extra session a
hill dealing with the convict ques
vion. We have not seen the full
text of the measure, but the fact
that Mr. Candler is the author of it
will strongly ecommend it to the law
makers and the public. He is one
of the ablest, cleanest and most sin
coere men in public life in this state.
There was no good reason for
continuing the investigation of the
charges made against the prison
commission. Enough had been
brought out to convince the legisla
ture and the people of the state that
the convict lease system should be
abolished at the earliest possible day
consistent with the means available
for inaugurating a new system for
keeping and caring for the convicts.
The legislature should have been
permitted to dispose of the matter
before the regular session adjourned.
The New York World, which has
never before supported him, is com
ing around handsomely for Mr. Bry
an. The World says that his elec
tion will be a rebuke to the terrible
extravagance of the republican party,
and also that it will put the people
on notice that corruption in elections
‘must cease. These are two of the
reasons why The World brings itself
to the support of the democratic can
ididato.
Several bills abolishing city and
county courts were passed duyring
the recent session of the legislature,
and Governor Smith has vetoed every
one of them. 80, after all, it may
be that those who were trying to
abolish the City Court of Dawson
lost nothing by their failure.
“LEADS THE WORLD AND SETS THE LIMIT”’
¥From the Shellman Sun.
The Dawson News, the peerless
of Georgia weeklies, has grown so
accustomed to bragging on Daw
son affairs that it can’'t help it
now on anything, regardless.
Pretty good idea, too. .If some
other fellow doesn’'t sit up and
take notice, why the bluff works
all right and just the same. The
News now claims for Dawson the
leadership of the entire cotton belt
in the matter of cotton receipts
for the season. Dawson's receipts
to Tuesday noon (last week) were
The religious world has heard
with regret of the death of Ira B.
Sankey, who was famous in evan
gelical work. For five years he had
been blind, and a few days ago died
at his home in Brooklyn. His blind
ness would seem to confirm the Bi
ble quotation: ‘Whom the Lord
loveth He chasteneth.” One of his
favorite hymns was Fannie Crosby's
well-known lines:
Some day the silver cord will break,
And I no more as now shall sing!
But, O, the joy when I shall wake
Within the palace of the King!
And I shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story—saved by grace!
And I shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story—saved by grace!
Mr. Sankey wrought much good in
his time.
Judge Alton B. Parker, democratic
nominee for the presidency four years
ago, made a speech in Los Angeles,
Cal.,, a few days ago in which he
vigorously pleaded for support of
Bryan and Kern in the current cam
paign. This earnest of good faith
and loyalty from a prominent demo
crat who four years ago was put
forward by a contingent intensely
inimical to Mr. Bryan argues well for
the spirit of harmony now pervading
the rank and file of the party.
Now Coffee county comes up with
a loss in tax values of $460,000.
Many others have shown similar de
creases, while the slump in some
reached nearly a million dollars.
The more we see of this less is the
wonder that the people wearied of
the deadly blight of demagogues and
agitators, and threw them overboard
this summer,
Chairman Turner of the state
prison commission says the Atlanta
Georgian ‘‘has lied.”” That's some
what too severe. The Georgian,
very likely, was only being ‘“yellow.”
Candidate Yancey Carter has is
sued an address to the voters of
Georgia that sounds_very much like
it was written in New York by one
of Mr. Hearst's hired men.
It has been announced from re
publican headquarters that W. N.
Mitchell of Atlanta will stump
Georgia for Taft. Who in the dick

Society are going to have a fair in

A DAWSON MAN BUILDS A BOAT.
The many friends of Mr. Frank
P. Allen, who was reared in Dawson,
and was in business here many
vears, will read with interest the fol
lowing from a recent issue of the
F't. Gaines Sentinel:
“*Quite a crowd gathered at the
sandbar above the bridge last Mon
day afternoon to witness the chris
tening and launching of the naptha
launch owned by Messrs. Greene and
M®Ceßae. In a most charming and
graceful manner Miss Lizzie Day
broke a bottle of champagne over
the bow of the trim little boat, and
christened it ‘‘Elizabeth,” and in a
few well chosen words wished it
good luck and God-speed.
‘“The ‘Elizabeth’ was built by Mr.
F. P. Allen of this city, and refleets
great credit upon his skill. It meas
ures twenty feet in length, five feet
in width, and carries a Gray motor
of six-horse power.
- Phe entire cost of the boat will
lpmhahly be about four hundred dol
lars, and taken altogether the ‘Eliz
abeth’ is one of the prettiest launches
ever seen on this river, and its own
ers are fully justified in feeling very

Perhaps the Same in Every County.
From the Nashville (Ga.) Herald.
Every newspaper in the state
should give publicity to the changes
in the registration laws made by the
recent legislature. Few things are
more sacred to a free people than
their privilege to vote at elections
wherein their public officers are
chosen.
Perhaps in no county in Georg.a
are the county authorities so lax in
the enforcement of the registration
law as in Berrien. The candidates
take possession of the registration
lists and carry them around and reg
ister the voters. Names of voters
are often put down without their
knowledge or consent. It is our un
derstanding that the new and more
stringent law just enacted will make
such practices impossible. The tax
collector gets five cents a name for
every registered voter, and he should
be required to do the work. :

1,009 bales. No other market
could reach this figure, probably
none more than half. Beats the
world and sets the limit for measly
competitors. We let Quitman and
Albany and Americus speak up for
themselves. Dawson, we knew,
would get more cotton than Shell
man; always has. This is natural.
Dawson has the larger territory,
and then it's hard, too, to keep up
with a section where the farmers
use from eight to fifteen tons Oof
guano to the plow.
A Few Minutes With the
Editors. What They Are
Doing and Saying.
The Coleman News has suspended,
and joined the great majority in the
newspaper boneyard. The News, in
announcing its suspension, says ‘‘the
expense of running a paper success
fully requires more cash than the
average subscriber would suspect,”
4 truth soon learned by every news
paper man. Our Coleman neighbor
was a sprightly sheet, and we shall
miss it.

back as a neighbor.

Editor Howell of the Cuthbert

for all they turn his way.

The Nashville Herald has added
a linotype to its equipment, and if
possible is looking neater and pret
tier than ever. Editor Sweat is pub
lishing one of the very best and
brightest papers of the wiregrass,
and The News is pleased to note his
prosperity.

We admire the spunk of our near
neighbor, the Shellman Sun. It is
trying to work itself up to the point
of believing that Shellman is in
Dawson’s class as a cotton town. It
is nerve like that which attracts at
tention and sometimes brings suc
cess.

The Vienna News notes that vari

the fact that Mr. Kern ‘‘locks like a

The Rome Tribune makes a sug

Dawson Could Do Likewise
With Profit.
Hope, Ind., observed a ‘‘clean up’’
day a short time ago, and an enter
prising poet was moved to write the
following:
Let us, then, be up and doing,
Each one with a bar of soap,
Still achieving, still pursuing—
Make a spotless town of Hope.
And that's what they did. The
residents of the place certainly made
Hope a spotless town, and there is a
reward of $5 in gold for the smallest
piece of dirt to be found inside the
corporate limits.
The town board decided that June
11th, should be clean up day. No
tices were posted, and the town mar
shal went around and notified every
body. The board of health got busy,
and when the sun arose on Thursday
morning brigades of cleaners were at
work. It became the duty of every
person to clean up his own premises
and to pile the garbage and trash in
the streets in front of his house. The
town furnished wagons to make the
rounds and haul the trash away.
Other men were emploved to clean
the streets, and by evening every
thing was spick and span. Now the
people of Hope intend to keep their
town that way.
On a Cold Trail.
From the Cuthbert Leader.
The Leader suspects that if Hon.

HOW NIGH-BEER DID HIM.
The Experience of an Old Man Who
Tried the Prohibition Brew.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
‘“The ol’ man hain’'t been fur from
home sence the nigh-beer got so
good,” said the old woman—*‘only,
it 'pears to have the strangest kind
of effects on him. llt's entire differ
ent from the effects of drammin’.
Fer instance, he don’t lose his mind
till a day or two atter he takes it.
I wuz never so mortal shamed as I
wuz through his doin’s las’ Sunday
meetin’. He ’peared to be his nat
ural self on the way to meeting’,
an’ took his seat, an’ j'ined in the
singin’ an’ said ‘Amen’ in the right
places when the preacher wuz a
prayin’; but in the very middle o’
the sermon what do you reckon he
up an’ done? He riz up, an’ tarry
fied the congregation by schoutin’:
'l'm Jonah, an’ I've been swallered
by the whale, an’ I'm in the whale,
an’ dunno how to git out! Pray
for me! Stop the sermon, an’ pray
fer me!’ ‘Lord help him!’ said the
preacher, ‘he’'s gone daft! Take him
outside, somebody, an’' give him fresu
air!” Two or three of ’em took holt
o’ him an’ led him out, whar he no
sooner wuz than he hollered out that
he wuz Joshua, an’ commanded the
sun to stan’ still! Then they took
him on home—me follerin’, so upsot
that I wished fer the groun’ to open
an’ swallow me! Atter they got him
home some one went to a neighbor’s
an’ got him two big drams, atter
which he went off to sleep peaceful.
When he woke up, in the middle o’
the night, he didn't know what he'd
been an' done. It wuz @all new: to
him, to hear how he’d disturbed the
meeting’. ‘lt wuz that nigh-beer,’
he said: ‘I hain’t never been used
to it, bein’ raised on good corn lick
er, an’ drinking of it faithful all my
days.’ Then, a Monday mornin’,
time the express office wuz open
what does he do but go an’ order
four gallons, an’ now he’ll be hangin’
roun’, anxious, till it comes! 1 look
fer nuthin’ else but fer him to be
turned outen the church ag’in, an’
if he is they'll never take him back
no- more!”
