CENTRAL RAILROAD CHARGED
WITH VIOLATING TICK LAW
————
Must Answer in United States Court
% For Hauling Cattle.
Suit has been brought in the fed
eral court at Albany against the
Central of Georgia railroad charging
that company with violating the fed
eral cattle tick quarantine law hy
hauling two carloads of cattle from
Cuthbert to Jacksonville, via Albany.
The government’s syit charges that
78 cattle were hauled from Cuth
bert to Albany over the Central on
February 23 and there transferred
to the Atlantic Coast Line; that Dan
dolph county is under tick quarvan
tine, and that the road violated the
law in that the way bills for the two
cars of cattle were not stamped with
the words, “Southern Cattle.” The
maximum penalty is a fine of $l,OOO
and one year in the Penitentiary.
FIVE HUNDRED EXPECTED TO
REGISTER HERE. HOLIDAY
. IN SOME STATES.
The United States is taking its
first step toward real participation in
the European war to-day, June sth,
when the 10,000,000 men between
the ages of 21 and 31 are being en
rolled for military service, From
these 10,000,000 names will be
drawn, after proper exemptions have
been made, the first army of 500,000
men under the selective conscription
plan, to be followed later by a sec
ond, and perhaps a third and a
fourth army of a like number.
Every voting precinct in the coun
try will be used to,enroll this enor
mous number of men, and over 70,-
000 registrars, practically all of
them volunteers and the most prom
inent men in their respective com
munities, are doing the work. In
many of the states the governors
have declared a public holiday for
the occasion, and parades, patriotic
exercises and special church services
are the order of the day.
There has been no public demon
strations in Dawson, yet great en
thusiasm is shown, but in many
cities and towns throughout the
country the opening of registration
booths was heralded by the blowing
of whistles and the ringing of
church bells. Hundreds of bands
were hired to play at the registra
tion places, and in many cities and
towns the young men are being es
corted through the streets in triumph,
and confederate veterans and north
ern veterans acting as guards of hon
or. In other places patriotic organi
zations, secret societies, boy scouts,
women’s auxiliaries, etc., conduct
those, who register, to the polling
places.
Up to eleven o’clock practically
one hundred and fifty have register
ed in the Dawson district, the great
er percentage of them being negroes.
The registrars predict that there will
be possibly five hundred to register
in this one district.

MRS. J.R. JOLLY
BURIED AT NEW BETHEL CEME.-
TERY. WAS SEVENTY-NINE
YEARS OF AGE.
The sudden death of Mrs. J. R.
Jolly at the home of her daughter,
Mrs, J. H Whitchard, Saturday
night, was a great shock to her fam
ily and friends as she seemed bright
and cheerful all day and after sup-
Per sat with the family in pleasant
conversation on the veranda until
about ten o’clock.
After she retired she complained
of a slight pain in her head, but re
marked that she would try to sleep.
Turning herself in bed to get com
fortable for the night, she gasped
once and those nearby saw that she
was dead.
Mrs. Jolly was Miss Cynthia A.
McMichael, and was born in Marion
county, December 19, 1838. She
was prominently connected with
several families in Buena Vista,
being a sister of the late Dr.
Robert MecMichael and was the
last one of a large family of broth
ers and sisters. She was reared by
pious Methodist parents, joining the
church when quite young, and was
married on Sept. 14, 1858, to John
R. Jolly, later with him uniting with
the Baptist church. Mrs. Jolly was
that type of old fashion women
whom it is a privilege to know and
to whom we instinctively pay hom
age.
Only seven weeks ago the death
of her husband brought a deep shad
ow into her life, but the love and
tender care of her friends and rela
tives soothed her last days. She is
survived by one daughter, Mrs. J. H. |
Whitchard, and one son, Mr. Elmore
Jolly. |
In the presence of a large assem
bly the body was laid to rest at Newi
Bethel cemetery Sunday afternoon,
at 4 o’clock. Beautiful floral ofi'er—j
ings, emblems of her life, fragrant:l
with unselfish service, the silent trib
ute of many loving hearts, covered}
the casket. |
