$56,000 TO BE GOVERNED
Is What the People of Terrell Will
Pay to Tax-Gatherers. All Rates
Same as Last Year.
All of the tax levies, state, coun
ty and school, have been made, and
all are the same as in 1907—the
state rate $5.00 on the thousand, the
higest it can be made under the law:
the county $6.00 on the thousand:
for the county schools $3.00 on the
thousand, and for road purposes
$3.00 per capita.
The total tax that will be collected
from the people of Terrell county
this year will aggregate in round
numbers $56,000. There will be
raised by ad valorem tax for the
state $20,000, for the county $22,-
000, for the county schools $7,000,
and the county road tax will bring
in $7,000.
The expenses of the county, in
cluding the building of roads, is
about $29,000 a year, and this sum
is derived from the ad valorem tax
of $6.00 on the $l,OOO and the road
tax. The county authorities will not
handle or use any of the remainder
of the $56,000.
The council has calculated that it
will take $30,000 to pay the ex
penses of the government of the city
of Dawson the next twelve months,
and this added to the $56,000 for
the state, the county and the schools
will make the tremendous sum of
$86,000 that the people of Terrell
and Dawson will pay in taxes this
year. And this amount will no doubt
be increased to $lOO,OOO by the tax
levies of the several incorporated
towns in the county.

DO YOU WANT A PENSION?
This Will Be of Interest to You If
You Expect to Make Application.
Ordinary Cheatham has received
the following from the state pension
commissioner, which explains itself:
“I call your attention to the fact
that Sept. 30th next is the last day
for filing in this office applications
for pensions to be passed on and put
on the records for the year 1909.
Please get up your applications and
send them in by that date.”
It should be borne in mind that all
new applications must be filed with
the Ordinary in time to get them to
the pension commissioner’s office by
September 30th, else they cannot be
passed upon and put on the recozds
before 1910.
The above does not apply to pen
sioners now on the roll.
Passed Examination Successfully.
James Donahue, New Britain,
Conn., writes: “I tried several kid
ney remedies, and was treated by our
best physicians for diabetes, but did
not improve until I took Foley’s
Kidney Remedy. After the second
bottle I showed improvement, and
five bottles cured me completely. I
have since passed a rigid examina
tion for life insurance.” Foley's
Kidney Remedy cures backache and
all forms of kidney and bladder

For Riding on Fire Trucks.
Cases were made against three
white people and two negroes for
swinging onto the fire wagon and
riding on the run to the Square Bale
Gin Saturday night, in violation of a
city ordinance. In the mayor’s court
Monday they were fined $5.00 and
the fines suspended, it appearing that
they were going for the purpose of
helping the firemen.
Fire at the Square Bale Gin.
About night Saturday an alarm
was sent in from the Square Bale
Gin. A hot box had caused the cot

tinguished before much damage was
done, the burning of fifteen or twen
ty pounds of cotton being the only
loss.

COUNCIL AFTER NEAR BEERS,
Taking Steps to Revoke Licenses, and
to Prohibit Sale of All Soft
Drinks That Contain Alcohol.
Near beer seems to be up against
a snag in Dawson.
At a special meeting of the city
council Saturday morning, called for
the specific purpose of considering
the sale of near beer, an ordinance
was introduced revoking the licenses
that were issued sometime ago to
dealers in the foamy brew, and a
companion ordinance was also of
fered forbidding the sale of all soft
drinks containing any -alcohol what
ever. All of the aldermen were fa
vorable to the passage of the ordi
nances at this meeting except Alder
man Lowrey, who thought it best
for them to wait over until the reg
ular meeting of the council tonight
before being acted on. The ordi
nances took this course, and the
council gives notice in the advertis
ing columns of The News that they
will come up for consideration at
this time. There is no doubt they
will be passed.
There are four near beer dealers
in Dawson who have paid the city a
license of $25 each for the privilege
of selling near beer, and it is said
some of them are not exactly pleasea
at the prospect of the council in
terfering in the matter. It is wun
derstood that they will obtain
legal advice, and it may be that they
will test the new ordinance.
What effect the ordinance prohib
iting the sale of all soft drinks con
taining alcohol in any quantity will
have is also a question of some inter
est. Many of the syrups used and
many of the drinks dispensed at the
soda founts contain more or less
alcohol, and a strict enforcement of
the ordinance would stop the sale of
many of the popular soda fount
beverages. |

How to Get Strong. |

is deriving so much benefit from
Electric Bitters, that I feel it's my
duty to tell those who need a tonic
and strengthening medicine about it.
In my mother’s case a marked gain
in flesh has resulted, insomnia has
been overcome, and she is steadily
growing stronger.” Electric Bitters
quickly remedy stomach, liver and
kidney complaints. Sold under guar
