BIKES TO MIDDLE OF ROAD ?
That's the Question the City Fathers
Will Have to Decide
Tonight,
The city council will meet in reg
ular monthly session tonight, and the
matters of most interest which will
come up for consideration is whether
the bicycle riders will have to take
to the middle of the road.
The question of putting the wheel
men off the sidewalks has been agi
tated in Dawson for a long time, but
no definite action was ever attempt
ed until two months ago, when Al
derman Lowrey introduced an ordi
nance putting the riders in the
streets. A test vote at that time
showed that Aldermen Lowrey,
Shields and Hollingsworth favored
the ordinance and Aldermen McNulty
and Hamilton opposed it. Alderman
McLain was out of the city then,
but will be present at tonight's meet
ing.
gThe News has been told by . &
friend of the ordinance he expects. it
to receive four votes, and perhaps
five, when it comes up for action to
night.
Those who ride bicycles are
strongly opposed to the proposed or
dinance, and will make their opposi
tion known to the council through a
petition that no change be made in
the existing bicycle laws.

Seaboard Air Line Will Very Likely |
Be Sold by Court. . 1
It is stated that the Seaboard Air
Line railroad, now in receivers’
hands, will in all probability be put
up and sold by the United States
court the latter part of February or
the first of March. It is understood
that a number of improvements of
the property will be made before the
sle of the road.
~ Anticipating a sale it is reported
that a quiet but steady fight for
future control is being waged by two
rival factions—the one headed by
John Skelton Williams, and the oth
er by Thomas F. Ryan, who is leader
of the interests who were in charge
[of the road when it was placed in
the hands of the peceivers.
) In this connection it is reported
'that plans are being made by E M.
Harriman to secure the Atlanta and
Birmingham division of the line,
)wh.ich will giwe him a direct outlet
to Atlanta for the Illinoig Central.
Whéle Harriman owns the Central
of Georgia from Bjrmingham to Sa
vannah the Atlanta and Birmingham
diyigion of the Seaboard would give

ONLY ONE SCHOOL SESSION
Change to Two a Day Will Not Be
Made Just Now.
There was some talk of changing
from one to two sessions a day, be
ginning with the opening of the Daw
son public schools Monday, but it
was decided not to make the change
just now.
. For quite a number of years there
has been only one session of the
schools a day, the pupils being dis
missed every afternoon at 2 o'clock.
It is understood that Superintend
ent Land, several members of the
board and many patrons of the
school are favorable to two sessions,
and the change may be made at the
opening of the Spring term next
January.

WOES OF BRYAN'S DOUBLE
Had Time of His Life Trying to Es
cape Bryan Enthusiasts on Re
cent Visit to New York.
From the New York World.
Dr. David Coombs Peyton of Jef
fersonville, Ind., president of the In
diana State Medical Association, got
a hair cut in the Hoffman House ves
terday. Dr. Peyton also said to the
barber: ‘““You need not shave my
upper lip today. I'm going to grow
a mustache.”
Then Dr. Peyton got in a closed
cab, and notwithstanding the heat
pulled "down the curtains and told
the driver to break all records driv
ing to the nearest railroad station.
Once Dr. Peyton thought it was a
joke because he is a remarkable
double of William Jennings Bryan,
but after being routed out of a New
Haven train coming from Boston to
New York, at midnight, pushed to
the back platform, cheered, and
asked to deliver a speech Dr. Peyton
thought it was time to change his
looks.
Dr. Peyton would not have worried
S 0 much over the loss of sleep, but
yesterday he was caught in the Cafe
Martin, and a score of men insisted
on shaking hands with him. Dur
ing the excitement Dr. Peyton lost a
watch fob, and that was too much—
thus the hair cut and a new mus
tache.
While the Indiana doctor was try
ing to escape from the Hoffman
House he was found by several en
thusiastic democrats on their way to
attend the state democratic commit
tee meeting in the Victoria Hotel,
and before he could prove he was
not William Jennings Bryan he had
his straw hat broken.
‘I-am a ~Bryan democrat’’ ex=
plained Dr. Peyton. ‘I like Mr. Bry
an, and have entertained him, but T
can’t carry around any more of his
troubles on my shoulders. He seems
to have too many friends in New
York, so I'm going back home where
folks know who I am.
‘“lt soghappens that Mr. Bryan and
I are the exact age, the same height,
and weigh the same. [ must look
like him, for the folks on the New
Haven train, I think, put Mr. Bryan
down as a terrible liar when I in
sisted T was not the real article.
“I would like it much better if
people could mistake me for having
‘the brains of Mr. Bryan, rather than
being like him in looks. Anyhow,
I'm going home minus a fob, the
loss of a breakfast, a straw hat and
some sleep.”

TO FIGHT BLACK ROOT.
4 Special Cotton -Seed Is Furnished
to the Farmers.
It will interest the farmers of Ter
rell county, where the black root has
done more or less damage the past
several yvears, to know that the state
department of entomology is now
furnishing to planters in those sec
tions where cotton has been affected
by this disease a limited amount of
cotton seed which, it is believed, will
resist this pest.
This seed has been secured by
selection from plants which resisted
the disease in fields where it has
been found prevalent. It is believed
¢hat by stopping the planting of cot
ton for a few years in affected fields
and by the use of a specially strong
seed which shows resistance to the
disease Pt will be ultimately stamped
out. 1

IN MEMORY OF MRS. WATSON.
Tribute to a Good Woman and De
parted Friend.
On July 27, 1908, death entered
our community and the sweet spirit
of Mrs. R. L. Watson took its heav
enward flight, leaving behind a world
of sorrow and tears.
We feel we have indeed lost a
true wife and affectionate mother
and a -sincere friend. sStill we know
that in our loss it is her eternal gain.
She was a choice flower; God needed
her in His Kingdom, and it is well,
for He doeth all things for the best.
Fannie, as she was known among
her friends, was of a jolly disposi
tion, a 2 sympathetic nature, and ever
held out ready and willing hands to
}those in need. She is not only a
‘great loss to her family and commu
'nity, but also to her church. Al
though she has gone still some of
‘her work remains in sacred remem
"brance of the past. We often won
der why such as she must be taken,
‘but that is a mystery we cannot
solve; so let us be content to wait,
’for some day the mist will be rolled
away and we shall know.
It is hard indeed to look back in
remembrance, and harder still to
look in the future and know she has
gone forever, but thank God it is a
precious thought to look to heaven
‘and know she is there, and such a
sweet privilege to have a Savior to
go to in these dark hours. ‘‘So let
us sorrow not, as those who have
no hope, for the separation cannot
be long.”
We could dwell longer on the vir
tues and accomplishments of this
noble christian woman, but it is un
necessary. I only wish to extend to
her loved ones my deepest sympa
thy, and beseech them to look to a
higher power for consolation.
Mrs. Watson fought the battle of
life twenty-eight years, and at its
close she leaves a grief-bowed hus
band and two small children, besides
a host of sorrowing friends and rela
tives.
The funeral service was conducted
by Rev. W. L. Culberson in the new
Baptist church at Sasser, after which
the remains were carried to Chicka
sawhatchee, her old home, and laid
to rest. \
There we can leave her sweetly
sleeping,
Yet we cannot stay the tears,
For we know we will sadly miss her
In the coming future years.
