LAST OF THE FEE SYSTEM
The New Charter Made It a Thing
of the Past January Ist. Some
Other Changes.
Several of the important provis
’ions of the new city charter, which
‘was passed at the last session of the
legislature, did not become effective
until January 1, 1910.
The beginning of the new year saw
the abolition of the last vestige of
the fee system in the city govern
ment. Hereafter the city clerk will
be paid a salary of $l,OOO a year in
full compensation for his services,
and will no longer receive $l.OO
cost for each case tried in the may
or’s court and $l.OO for each license
to do business he writes.
The mayor will hereafter receive
a salary of $5OO a year, it having
been increased to that amount from
$3OO. The pay of the aldermen is in
creased from ssv to $lOO a year.
The new charter also fixes the sal
ary of the city attorney, which has
heretofore been done by the council,
and stipulates that he shall receive
no other compensation from the city
for his services. The salary is $250
a year.
The salary of the city treasurer is
also fixed by the charter, and here
after that official will receive $lOO
instead of $2OO a year.

more than fifty, and is about a hun

THE DAWSON NEWS.
’PLEASE, MR. SMALLPOX MAN
Stay at Home, and Don't Scatter
Yourself Around Promiscously in
the City, Is Council’'s Request.
The smallpox, which has raged in
the county several months without
any effort being made to check it,
is now in Dawson and liable to be
come epidemiec.
City Physician Gardner informs
The News that there are six well de-’
veloped cases of the disease in differ
ent sections of the city. Two are in
what is known as the Willis and Cole
settlement, two others are at the
janitor’s house near the public school
building, one is on Lee street, and
another on Vine street.
The council has established a
quarantine by putting up red flags
at the homes of the victims of the
loathsome disease, and asking them
to be good and stay at home and
not walk about the city.
| One of the negroes who has the
‘disease was found loafing around a
}negro barbershop, and persons with
fully developed cases of it walking
‘unconcernedly about streets is a fre
quent signt.
Smallpox appeared in the county
several months ago, and no effort
whatever has been made by the au
thorities to suppress it or prevent its
spread. It has now reached every
section of the county, and many
white people as well as negroes are
having it.
Of course having reached the city,
which is much more thickly popu
lated, it is liable to spread much
more rapidly and become a veritable
epidemic unless vigorous steps are
taken to check it.

In Bad Fix
“I had a mishap at the age of 41, which left me in bad
fix,” writes Mrs. Georgia Usher, of Conyers, Ga.
“I was unconscious for three days, and after that I
would have fainting spells, dizziness, nervousness, sick
headache, heart palpitation and many strange feelings.
“I suffered greatly with ailments due to the ch&n?e of
life and had 3 doctors, but they did no good, so I concluded
to try Carcui.
“Since taking Cardui, I am so much better and can do
all my housework.”
] 4l .
] The Woman’s Tonic
Do not allow yourself to get into a bad fix. You might
get in so bad you would find it hard to get out.
Better take Cardui while there is time, while you are
still in moderately good health, just to conserve your strength
and keep you in tip top condition.
In this way your troubles, whatever they are, will grad
ually grow smaller instead of larger—you will be on the
up-grade instead of the down—and by and bye you will
arrive at the north pole of perfect health.
