numbers by Miss Elsie Huxford and
readings by Mrs. K. S. Worthy and
Mrs. C. M. Couric. A delightful salad
course was served at the close of the
meeting, a number of friends coming
in for the social hour. R.

’POPULATION OF CITY
| Speculation As to What 1920 Census
{ Figures Will Show for Terrell
County and Dawson.
What will be the population of
Dawson this year? What will the
census figures show for Terrell coun
ty? ;
These are questions that soon will
be answered, for the fourteenth de
cennial census will be completed at
an early day, and the figures should
be available by March.
The census of 1910 gave Terrell
county a population of 22,003. Of
that number 16,607 were negroes
and 5,396 were whites. Since 1910
the population of the county has in
creased, and it is estimated that it is
now at least 25,000.
. Dawson, according to the 1910
census, had a population of 3,827, of
which 2,216 were negroes and 1,575
were whites. The number of male
residents in the city in 1910 was 1,-
816 and of females 2,011. There
were 902 dwellings and 982 families.
It is believed the present census will
show not less than 4,500.
The population of Parrott ten years
ago was 360, of Bronwood 465 and
of Sasser 441.

Two Bewildered Little Children Nar
rowly Missed Being Crushed
To Death Sunday.
The reckless dashing of automo
biles through the streets Sunday
when an alarm of fire was given
threatened every pedestrian who hap
pened to be out for a quiet walk and
came near resulting in a tragedy
which would have caused inexpress
able sorrow throughout the city.
Two little children came so near
being crushed under the® wheels of
two heavy cars that those looking on
and unable to reach the bewildered,
little ones covered their eyes to shut
out the sight of mangled bodies.
Those driving the cars made no ef
fort to slow down, but whizzed by
serenely indiffernt to the situation.

THE DAWSON NEWS.
IPRINCIPAL OF DAWSON COLOR
ED ACADEMY ASKS PEOPLE
_~ TO STRIVE FOR THE BEST.
Editor Dawson News: Please allow
space in the columns of your paper?
'for the following communication and
‘appeal :
' The Dawson colored academy has
ibeen laboring for the past four
months to foster and sponsor that
kind of sentiment and instruction
that purports to illuminate by substi
tution all germs that tend to antag
onize the races in community uplift
and civic righteousness.
We are cognizant of the fact that
every ignorant, untutored, immoral,
indolent and irrational fellow in our
community contaminates wherever
and whatever he touches. ]
The health of our city is impaired |
in proportion to the negligence of |
the city fathers to look after thel
proper sanitary conditions. Garbage |
piles, cesspools and other placesi
where the refuse matter is deposited |
breed flies and hover disease germsi
that prey upon the health of both]
races. The above being true has a|
gimilar effect in matters mental or|
spiritual. If the masses of our people
are not educated, taught at least the|
practical things in life, there inevit-!
ably will develop those germs of im-|
morality, indolence and prejudice
that clutch and prey upon both races;
and like the debacles of a devil-fish,
will hold on to that which it clutches
until the debacles are amputated or
severed.
We appeal therefore to the color
ed patrons to continue that support
that tends to diminish the teachers’|
burden and encourage teachers to‘
continue laboring in the public
schools of the state.
If the teacher fails to get greater
remuneration for services in lieu of
the increased cost of life’s necessi
ties he has no alternative than to
look for a field of opportunities that
offers more. Yours very respectfully,
A. R. ROBERTSON,
Principal Dawson Colored Academy.

Prevent Hog Cholera.
The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder has
a record of 95 per cent. cures of hog
cholera. If you feed your hogs as di
rected, you need never fear hog chol
era nor any other hog disease. And
the directions are very simple, just
about what you are doing, plus a few
cents’ worth of B. A. Thomas Hog
Powder in the feed twice a week.
Usually, though, cholera gets in be
fore we know it. Then it requires
‘close attention to each hog—each
hog must be dosed—and if you will
ldose them as directed you will save
better than 90 per cent. If you don’t
the B. A. Thomas medicine costs you
nothing. We—not some distant man
ufacturer—pay your money back.
