T RETURNS 0 i
DIGEST SHOWS AN INCREASE
OVER LAST YEAR OF $38,296.
Whites Return $3,505,942, and the
Negroes $284,658. Both Made
Gains the Past Year.
Tax Receiver L. G. Pinkston has
completed the digest of the tax re
turns of 1908, and considering the
panic the country has just gone
through the showing made by Ter
rell county is very gratifying.
The total returns this year foot up
$3,790,600, a gain of $38,296 over
last year, when they were $3,752,-
304,
The whites of the county returned
property this year aggregating $3,-
505,942 against $3,481,060 in 1908,
a gain of $24,882.
The negro returns are $284,658,
an increase of $13,414 over last year,
when they were $271,244.
In a note to The News Mr. Pink
ston sayvs the comparatively large in
crease in the negro returns is due
mostly to the fact that there are
200 more negroes on the digest this
vear than there were in 1908. About
half of the negroes never make re
turns, and the receiver has to get
them the best he ean.

MANY HOMES ARE ENTERED
An Epidemic of Robberies in the City!
Recently. Money Seems to Be
All That’s Wanted. |
There has been an epidemic of
thievery in the city recently, ‘and
homesgin every part of the city have
been entered.
The residences of Messrs. J. W.
Peddy, R. L. Saville, W. R. Baldwin,
G. M. Roberts; J. M. Crouch, Dr. Guy
Chappell and others have heen visit
ed by the thief or thieves, who in
some instances made quite a nice
haul. Money seems to be all that is
wanted, and this they got in various
amounts at several places. At Mr.
Baldwin’s a savings bank was stolen
that contained about $2O.
A trunk in the room of Mr. and
Mrs. R. O. English at the home of
Mr. E. T. Jordan was robbed of
s§lB. A servant girl was suspected
of this theft and the money has been
recovered.
The thieves gained entrance into
the houses in mgqst instances with
keys, but at some places they cut
the gauze in the doers and unlatched
them.
A pair of pants that had been
stolen from Mr. George S. Denton
and a pair of shoes were found in
the stable of Dr. Guy Chappell, where
they had been hid. lln the pocket
of the pants were several door keys
and a bunch of smaller ones.

DOWN WITH THE FENCES.
Suggestion of Another Correspond
ent Is Heartily Approved.
Editor of The News: The Dawson
News last week made a good sug
gestion in “Down With Your Fence.”
Yes, that will widen the streets and
beautify the sidewalks, besides con
verting atl of these old hanging
gates and dilapidated fences into
kindling wood during +the winter.
Cut your fenees into small kindling
wood and what is not used at home
sell. This is the strictest economy.
Let the presidemt of the Civic Im
provement Club have a rommittee
to visit and encourage the idea of
doing away with the fences. G. S.
City Skould Enforce Stock Law.
Editor of The News: ITm regard
to beautifying Dawson by the re
moval of fences I am heartily in sym
pathy with the movement. But be
fere that can be done it seems to me
that the steck law should be rigidly
enforced. Not a day passes butkl
see cows, mules and horses turned
out to graze, or breaking out and
trespassing om the property of oth
ers. An animal can destroy more
flowers and shrubs in five minutes
than can be replaced &s as many

CITY COURT JURORS GOT SAME!
PAY AS SUPERIOR COURT. !
Confiict Between the Act Establish
ing the City Court and the Gen
eral Law as to Pay of Jurors.
For the first time since the City
Court of Dawson was - established
eleven years ago the jurors who!
served last'week received seript pay-!
ing them $2.00 per day for their |
service. ' |
This was in accordance with a rec-]
ommendation by the last grand jury.;
The law establishing the City |
Court of Dawson and the general |
state law providing for the com-l
pensation of jurors conflict, and it‘
was Judge Edwards’ opinion that the|
recommendation of the grand jury‘
should govern in the. matter. Sec-‘
tion 19 of the city court act provides‘
for 16 jurors, and says that they
shall receive $1.50 per day for the
time they serve. Section 872 of
volume lIT of the criminal code of
1895 says grand juries shall fix the
pay of jurors in both superior and
city courts, and is as follows: |
‘““The first grand jury empaneled}
at the fall term of the superior
courts of the several counties shall‘
fix the compensation of jurors and
court bailiffs in the superior courts
of said county for the next succeed
ing year; such compensation not to'
exceed two dollars per diem; and the
said compensation shall be allowed
to the jurors of the several -city
courts in this state, as is allowed to
the jurors of the superfor courts of
said county in which such city court
may be located, and all laws, wheth
er general or local, in conflict with
the provisions of this section are
hereby repealed.”
Judge Edwards said that while
there might be some doubt in the
matter, it was his opinion that a
special law could not contravene
a general law, and that the jurors
of the city court were entitled
to $2.00 per diem. He stated, how
ever, that the county commission
ers might object to the increased
pay and refuse to approve the script
for $2.00 a day, and if they did he
requested that the jurors report to
him and he would undertake to ad
just the matter satisfactorily with
that board.
The commissioners will meet on
Tuesday of next week, and what view
they will take of the question cannot
even be conjectured.
Jurors render the same service in
the city court that they do in the
superior court, and there would
seem to be no good reason why the
compensation should not be the
same.
STOLE NIGH BEER BOTTLES.
Small Negro Boy Is Sent to the State
Reformatory.
On Thursday Pete Howard, a negro
boy about thirteem years of age, was
caught stealing emapty near beer bot
ties from the yard of Mr.. J. M.
Crouch’s residence, where he had sev
!eral barrels of them stored. The
'youthful thief had a wagon in which
Ihe had loaded the bottles for the
purpoese of nauling them away and
selling them.
~ Tke boy was arrested amd placed
in jail, and when arraigned in the
city court was committed by Judge
Edwards to the state refermatory for
twelve montho.
WHERE IS HE?
There 1s Much For the City's Sanita
1y Imspector te Yo.
Editor of The News: What has
become of the city sanitary inspect
or? At this season of the year, when
fever is prevalent, it strikes me that
an imvestigation should be made as
to fthe sanitary conditiem of every
stable and eut-building im Dawson.
To my certain knowlgfge a number
of buildings and shelters for horses
and vows are reeking with Afilth,
water and slime a foot deep, and in
numbers of cawes they are never dry.
In many intances these buildings are
within a few feet of residences, and
are a great menace to health. Daw
son is very umsightly, to say the
least, @n account of the high weeds.
Another source of sickness is the de
caying vegetation. The stench from
rotting cabbage in many gardens is
aimost unbearable. ‘‘An ©unce of
