T SPEAKERS HEARD
THE METHODIST CHAUTAUQUA
PROVING A NOTABLE EVENT.
will Continue Through This Week
and Close Sunday With a Sermon
and Address by Bishop Candler.
Dawson has been honored by many
distinguished visitors, but never, per
phaps, in her history has any occa
<ion been made so notable by the
personnel of those in attendance as
the chautauqua now in progress at
the Methodist church, which has
prought to our city some of the most.
prominent educators of the south.
The pastor, Rev. O. B. Chester,
in arranging the programme planned
wisely, and the large audiences in
attendance have attested the deep
appreciation of our people for the
tnings really worth while.
The speakers have come with no
vague and impracticable theories to
nuzzle and bewilder, but in the clear
ght- of well established gospel
truths they have earnestly brought
their hearers to a consideration of
the vital problems which the church
of God must settle if they are ever
cettled right. Running through the
iiscussions of the different subjects
has been the wholesome doctrine
that while the gospel is to fit men
for the kingdom of God hereafter it
< also to furnish them for a better
tvpe of citizenship in the govern
ments of this world.”” Each address
has been a bugle call to higher living,
along the line of ‘“consecrated com
mon sense.”’
The keynote of the splendid open
ing service by Dr. Rufus W. Smith,
president of LaGrange Female Col
iege, was the powerful influence of
the home life on all the™affairs of
the nation, and upon christian wo
manhood he laid the tremendous re
sponsibility of holding America in
her place as queen of the nations by
keeping the home life true to the
highest ideals.
On Thursday evening Dr. 1. W.
Malone, president of Andrew Female
College, made a strong address on
Denominational Schools” as the
only possible means for the best de
velopment of the mental, moral and
physical nature, and quoted Bishop
dendrix as high authority for the
statement that °‘‘No c¢hureh in any
nd is stronger than its institutions
I learning,
Hon. DuPont Guerry, who was on
the programme for Friday evening,
was compelled to cancel his engage
ment, but sent a worthy representa
tve in the person of Prof. Chas.
Jenking, one of the faculty of Wes
‘evan College. It is impossiblz to
£lve in this brief notice any idea of
thi magnificent lecture, which
tirilled and swayed the large audi
fnce \ more timely and uplifting
ddress has never been heard: in
_ On Sunday morning Dr. James E.
exey, “‘the great president of a
£reat "“=T.~-:¢-." delighted a large con-
Eregation, preaching from the text
Uit zrow in grace and in the knowl
i(2€¢ of our Lord and Savior Jesus
rist.” At the evening service Dr.
“ey was at his best from the first
_Yrd, and the large congregation
tt packed the house was deeply
'l by the powerful discourse

UHd that he gave his only begotten
SO that whosoever believeth on Him
ould not perish but have everlast-

vilege of this people to listen to
I€l profound truths on the gospel

of Jesus Christ in its simple and
sublime verities.
Despite the threatening weather a
large number heard Dr. Dickey on
Monday evening in his lecture, “In
trospection Versus the Outward
Look.” He showed himself to be
fully abreast of the times on all the
great questions. His style is schol
arly and cultured, and his every ar
gument rational and convincing.
In discussing the great missionary
movement he declared it must gather
its impetus from the vitalizing forces
at work in the home land. @ The
greatest need of the church is a
patriotism thoughtful and honest,
not found in the intellect alone, but
born in tne profound depths of love
to God and humanity. He pleaded
for a higher type of American citi
zenship that would make our coun
try a beacon light to lead the world
to Christ. In clesing Dr. Dickey
quoted the immortal words of Benj.
H. Hill: *“Who saves hi§ country
saves himself, saves all things, and
all things saved do bless him; who
lets his country die dies himself, lets
all things die, and all things dying
curse him.” He appropriated the
thought, substituting the church.
The chautauqua will coatinue
through this week, with an address
at the church each evening, and close
next Sunday with a sermon and ad
dress by Bishop W. A. Candler. Fol

2,500 NEW BALES IN DAWSON
Cotton Has Come in a Rush the Past
Week. Price Still Going Down.
Tuesday at noon the warehouses
of Dawson had received 2,522 bales
of new cotton by wagon, the largest
number received by any market in
Georgia up to now.
The market is still dragging with
a downward tendency, the quotations
at noon being 9 cents for good mid
dling and 83 for middling.
In addition to the low prices the
recent rains have stained the cot
ton.
MUDDY WATER TOMORROW.
Dead Ends of the Water Mains Will
Be Churned Up and Cleaned Out.
« Superintendent Peddy of the wa
ter department requests The News
to notify consumers that after today
they may look for and expect muddy
water a day or two.
Tomorrow (Thursday) direct pres
sure will be put on at the pumping
station and the dead ends of the wa
ter mains cleaned of the mud that
has been accumulating in them some
time.
This will necessarily churn up
things in the pipes considerably, and
the clearness of the water will of
course be affected.
COUNTY SCHOOLS TO OPEN.
The Fall Sessions Will Begin on
Next Monday.
The fall term of all the schools of
the county will open on next Mon
day, August 31st. )
There are 20 white schools in the
county, and Commissioner Wilkinson
has received reports which cause
him to expect a good attendance at
all of them on the first day. The
negro schools will not open until the
first of November.
A capable lot of teachers have
been secured, and the school author
ities are expecting a successful year's
work.
Did Degree Work for Leary Masons.
Judge J. W. -Peddy, Worshipful
‘Master of the Second district Ma
'sons, went down to Leary Thursday,
and that night did some degree work
‘for the lodge in that town. Degrees
‘were conferred on several candidates,
and it was early in the morning be
ifore the work was concludc;d.
’; Gee whack! Did you know Hall
was going to do Mr. J. W. Glass one
of the best jobs of plumbing in the
city of Dawson? Sure! He is the
only one who can.
BOARD AT LAST SUCCEEDS IN
COMPLETING THE FACULTY.
Miss Taylor of Valdosta Elected to
Fill Existing Vacancy. Most of
the Teachers Are New Ones.
At a meeting of the board of city
school commissioners Saturday Miss
Elizabeth Taylor of Valdosta was
elected teacher of the sixth grade, in
which a vacancy existed by reason
of the recent resignation of Miss
McGehee. There have been several
resignations for one reason and an
other since the faculty was chosen
in May, but the board now has all
of the vacancies filled, and every
thing is in readiness for the opening
of the Fall session on August 31st.
A majority of the members of the
faculty have not taught in Daw
son, and only four of the teach
ers of last year will be in their
former places when school opens
next Monday. The new teach
ers are Prof. K. B Land, superin
tendent, who comes from Cordele;
Prof. ¢, ). Taylor, principal, from
Sylvester; Miss Alba Harrington,
from Poulan; Miss Elizabeth Taylor,
from Valdosta; Miss Lillian Hark
ness, from Jackson, and Miss Janie
Bush from Valdosta. The teachers
of last year who will be in the schools
again are Miss Jennie Washburne,
Miss Belle Cheatham, Miss May Clark
and Miss Mamie Deubler.
Miss Washburne will teach the first
grade, Miss Cheatham the second,
Miss Clark the third, Miss Deubler
the fourth, Miss Harrington the fifth,
Miss Taylor the sixth, Miss Harkness
the seventh, Miss Bush the eighth
and Mr. Taylor the ninth and tenth.
Miss Chap Saville will have charge
of the music again, and Miss Pearl
Proctor will give instructions in elo
cution, which will be taught in the
schools for the first time the coming
session.
Rev. M. P. Moore will be principal
of the colored school, and W. R.
Richardson and Fleta Cochran as
sistants. The first two were re
elected, and the latter comes from
Bainbridge.
The board of commissioners have
been painstaking in the selection of
a faculty, and feel that they have
assembled one of the very best corps
of teachers who ever taught in Daw
son. They confidently look forward
to one of the best year's work in the
history of the schools.
ORR HEARING AGAIN CONTINUED
Now the Motion for a New Trial Is
Set for October 21st.
The Macon Telegraph states that
the motion for a new trial in the
C. M. Orr case has, after a brief
hearing, been continued until Octo
ber 21st.
~ Delays in the Orr case make it un
likely that the verdict of the Bibb
county jury will be passed upon by
the higher court of the state before
next spring. In the event that a new
trial is refused the case will be ap
pealed to the supreme court of the
state, and this legal process will re
quire at least six months. The at
torneys for Orr are confident that
they will be granted a new trial and
the decision of the lower court set
aside.
It is improbable, says the Tele
graph, that the indictments against
J. W. Cabaniss will go to trial until
the motion for a new trial in the
Orr case has been definitely acted
|upon.

Excellent Health Advice.
Mrs. M. M. Davison of No. 379 Gif
ford avenue, San Jose, Cal., says:
“The worth of Electric Bitters as a
general family remedy, for headache,
biliousness and torpor cf the liver
and bowels is so pronounced that I
am prompted to say a word in its
favor, for the benefit of those seek
ing relief from such afflictions. There
is more health for the digestive or
gans in a bottle of Electric Bitters
than in any other remedy I know of.”

STATE TAX RATE THE LIMIT.
It May Be That the County Rate Will
Be Reduced a Littie.
The state tax rate for 1908 will
be 5 mills, or $5 on each $l,OOO of
property returned for taxation.
This is the constitutional limit of
taxation in Georgia, and is the same
rate as was levied last year.
The tax rate is fixed by the gov
ernor, with the assistance of the
comptroller general, as required by
law, and the order has just been is
sued.
The board of commissioners will
fix the tax rate for Terrell county at
their September meeting next Tues
day, and they hope to make it a
little less than the levy of last year,
when it was $6.00 on the thousand.
Last year they had to borrow $7,000
on account of the dispensary, which
had been paying the expenses of the
county, being put out of business.
This year they have had to borrow
only $1,500.
The county school tax has already
been decided the board of edu
cation, and is $3.00 on the thousand,
the same as it was last year.
