PLAINT FROM ATLANTA, |
|
Has Wife and Children There, andl
Wwas Living With Woman Here
Supposed to Be His Wife, |
1. H. McGinnis, who has been the
proprietor of a tin shop and press
e club in Dawson for about a year,
'\\Avim arrested Wednesday on com-*
plaint of an Atlanta lawyer, who, it
.« understood, was representing Mc-
Ginpis' wife in that city, Mrs., Willie
\[ai McGinnis, who also has three
'_:.:.\1;~.-n_ The letter from the Atlan
.. attorney requested Attorney H, A.
wikinson of Dawson to file a suit
jor divorce for Mrs. McGinnis, to
+hom McGinnis was married in De-
Kalb county in 1896, on the ground
of desertion, non-support of herself
.n 0 children and cohabiting with an
other woman. The arrest of McGin
nis and the woman who was living
with him in Dawson, and supposed by
ine people here to be his wife, was
alco requested. McGinnis and his
jawinl wife separated in Fort Worth,
Texas, in April, 1905. She and her
yildren are said to be in deplorable
financial distress, and the attorney
here was directed to ask in the di
vorce suit for-temporary and perma
nent alimony.
\icGinnis' arrest came apout in an
unexpected manner Wednesday after
poon. He had gotten an idea that
rouble was brewing for him, and left
pDawson Sunday afternoon on the
geaboard train going toward Colum
bus When the Seaboard train
reached Dawson from Albany Wed
nesday afternoon Conductor Allen,
cecinz Policeman Hill at the depot,
asked him if a white man was wanted
in Dawson, giving a description that
cuited McGinnis and saying that such
4 nassenger boarded the train at the
Robinson place, below Sasser, and
ha locked himself in the toilet as
the train neared Dawson. Officer
Hill and Conductor Allen brought the
nassenger out of hiding, and he prov
ed to be MceGinnis,
e was placed in jail, where he
remained until yesterday, when he
was released on his own recognizance
until April 10th, he having agreed
to make arrangements to pay his
Atlanta wife alimony, which seems
o have been at the bottom of the
whole affair.
The woman who was living in Daw
.o» with McGinnis and supposed to
he his wife is said to be named Gladys
Ralph, and that her home is in Jack
sonville, Fla. She left Dawson on
Thursday night.
\lcGinnis came to Dawson about a
vear ago. He is an industrious man
and a good workman, and by atten
tion to his business built up a good
\atronage.

PUT QUICK SILVER IN POND
Attempt Made Recently to Break the
Dam at Clark’s Mill Below Herod.
An attempt was recently made by
some miscreant to destroy the dam
at Clark’s mill, in the southern part
of the county, by putting quicksilver
in the water.
Fortunately Mr. Clark discovered
it in time to prevent serious damage.
He noticed a place in the dam
through which water was beginning
to trickle, and on investigation found
about a pound of quicksilver, a part
of which had worked its way
through.
Mr. Clark is at a loss to know
why any one should want to destroy
the mill, and has no idea who the
guilty party is.

LIGHTING STRIKES RESIDENCE
Inocted Holes in the Roof of S. D.
Hat her's Home During the Rain
Storm Wednesday Night.
During the heavy rain storm be
tween one and two o’clock Wednes
day night the residence of Mr. S. D.
Hatcher, on Sixth avenue, was struck
by lightning. The cupelo on top of
the house was hit and one of thef
posts split, and several holes were
knocked in the roof. Although m'em—}
bers of the family were badly scared
none of them were injured. Mr.‘
Hatcher feels that he had a narrow
escape, as the lightning hit the house 1
directly above is bed. l
The rain was one of the heaviest
that has fallen here in months, and‘
did considerable damage, especially
on farms. The wind blew fiercely.f
but did no serious damage. 1

Ice and Frost,
The cold wave which struck this

frost and ice this morning, and local
capitalists who own peach and apple
orchards up in North Georgia are un
‘easy as to whatthe result of the cold
will be.

THE DAWSON NEWS
BITEKS MORE THAN HALF SCORE
OF PERSONS IN DAWSON,
Several Victims Go to Atlanta and
Others Are Taking the Serum
Treatment at Home, 4
A little fox terrier puppy with
rabies bit more than a half score of |
persons and a number of dogs in
Dawson late Tuesday afternoon, andl
it was only after the puppy had cov
ered almost the entire town in ltsl
mad run that it was killed. |
The dog belonged to Mr. R. D.
Smith, and her child it left home and‘
attacked persons on Ninth ave- |
nue, Main and Lee streets and|
Seventh avenue. It was finally kill-'
ed at the home of Dr. W. H. Hoyl,
on Lee street, where it had attack- |
ed Dr. Hoyl's dog. 5
The head was cut off and sent to|
the office of the state medical boardi
in Atlanta for examination Tuesday |
night, and a message was received
Wednesday morning stating that the%
dog was afflicted with an ad\'am‘e(li
stage of rabies and advising those
who had been bitten to leave at once!
for Atlanta for treatment. It was
also stated that serum would be sent
to Dawson for those who remained at
home. The following persons left on
the noon Central train Wednesday,
and are taking the treatment in At
lanta: Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Smith and
child; George, son of G. M. Roberts; ‘
Cecil McGill, Tom, little son of Judge
M. C. Edwards, and J. 8., son ofi
Mrs. J. B. Hayes. Those who are
taking the treatment in Dawson are!
'J. M., son of J. W. Glass; Paul, son
of Mrs. G. J. Garner; Manning, sonl
of M. J. Yeomans; S. C. Thornton’s
little daughter, Clyde Dozier and Jim
Patterson, colored, \
Some apprehension is felt as to the |
outcome of the wounds inflicted by
the mad puppy, but it is hoped thatJ
the prompt wupplication of the serum
will prevent serious results. y
Several dogs which are known to{
have been bit have been killed, and?
others are being closely confined. ‘;
NEW PRISON COMMISSIONER. |
The Governor Names Terrell € ‘uuntyi
Man to Fill Vacancy on Board.
Wednesday afternoon Governor |
Brown appointed E. L. Rainey of}
Dawson a member of the state prison |
commission to succeed Captain Wiley |
Williams, whose death occurred sev-|
eral days ago. g
It is reported that there were ZOOi
applicants for the place, and the gov- |
ernor was besieged by individuals, |
petitions and telegrams. :
The appointee made no application
for the office, and was in Dawson
when the appointment was made. Heé
will g 0 to Atlanta early next week |
lto be sworn in and take up his official
iduties. The commission will hold
\its monthly meeting at that time to‘
consider applications for pardon. ]
Enforcing the Dog Ordinance. |
Since the mad dog excitement
which has stirred the town two
or three days the ordinance against
dogs running at large on the streets
is being enforced. All dogs reported
to have been bitten by the little fox
terrier that caused so much conster
nation are being killed on sight, and
the canine population of the city
has thus far been reduced by four.
If you think anything of your dog
vou had best keep him in your vard.
An Epidemic of Coughing.
Is sweeping over the town and old
and young are alike affected. Foley's |
Honey and Tar Compound is al
quick, safe and reliable family medi- |
cine for coughs and colds. A. S.!
Jones of Lee Pharmacy, Chico, Cal., |
says: ‘“Foley’s Honey and Tar Com- |
pound has no equal, and I recom
mend it as containing no narcotics |
or other Larmful properties.” Daw-|

Aged Lady Stricken. ‘
Mrs. Mary Littleton was stricken
with paralysis yesterday afternoon at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wmn.
Littleton, on Lee street. Her ent.iro§
left side is affected, and on account of
her advanced age her condition is
considered critical. |

Cut His Foot. ‘
Mr. W. A. Pressley has been con
fined to his home a week with a crip
pled foot. While cutting wood the
axe slipped and injured his foot. His;
friends regret te learn of the acci- |
dent.
HOW CHRONIG COUGHS
Are Being Cured by Vinol. .
Did you ever ccugh for a month?
Then just think how distressing it
must be to have a cough hang on for
three months.
Mrs. Maria Primrose, of 87 Newell
Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “I had
a very heavy cold which settled into
a chronic cough, which kept me
awake nights for fully three months,
and felt tired all the time because my
rest was broken so much. The effect
of taking your cod liver and iron rem
edy, Vinol, is that my cough is gone.
1 can now get a good night’s rest, and
I feel much stronger in every way.”
It is the combined action of the
medicinal elements, cods’ livers, aided
by the blood-making and strength
creating properties of tonic iron which
makes Vinol so efficient in curing
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
—at the same time building up the
weakened, run-down system.
Try a bottle of Vinol, with the un
derstanding that your money will
be returned if it does not help you.
