MUCH INTEREST IN LEGISLA
TIVE INVESTIGATION OF STATE
VETERINARY DEPARTMENT.
Three Dawsonians, summoned to
Atlanta to testify before the legisla
ture committee that is making an
investigation of Dr. Peter Bahnsen,
the state veterinarian, on charges
that were preferred by Repreesnta
tive Williams, of Worth county.
Messrs. H. A. Petty and J. D.
Weaver testified that because of Dr..
Bashnsen’s failure to test their cat
tle for tuberculosis at the time they
were imported into the state, they
were forced later to slaughter the
animals. Dr. John W. Salter, the
veterinarian, testified as to the pur
chase of serum from the veter
inarian. and the price paid for it.
Brown on the Stand.
J. J. Brown, state commissioner
of agriculture, was on the stand for
nearly two hours and testified con
cerning his official relations with
Doctor Bahnsen. “When I was a
candidate I promised to remove Doc
tor Bahnsen if I were elected,” he]
said. “When I got into office I found‘
1 was practically powerless, for the |
law creating his position had made!
him almost entirely independent of |
all other State departments.” :
Many Asked Removal.
Mr. Brown said many persons had
asked for the removal of Doctor
Bahnsen, but on cross questioning
by Judge Joe Pottle he admitted that
all whom he could recall were per
sons who had a personal grievance
againsf the State veterinarian. He
said several disinterested citizens
had said both Doctor Bahnsen and
Dr. A. M. Soule of the State Agri
culturel College, should be removed
in the interests of harmony.
Mr. Brown said he had not known
Doctor Bahnsen had made a per
sonal profit on hog cholera serum,

‘label and on which he collected ex
press charges from the state. .
~ William Schley Howard, attorney
for the prosecution, asked the com
'missioner if he knew that Doctor
Bahnsen had issued an order requir
ing all veterinarians in the state to
‘buy their serum from him and had
‘made an arrangement with manufac
‘turers of serum so that he received a
commission on sales direct to vet
‘erinarians. Mr. Brown replied he
'had never heard either charge be
fore.

~ The commissioner also was ques
‘tioned concerning thg Bapnsen-
Cheathanr controversy in 1917 over
”an audit of the records of the State
veterinary department, in which
Doctor Cheatham said Doctor Bahn
son had refused to permit examina
tion of serum records. Mr. Brown
said that in his office Bahnson con
front Cheatham. with a direct
charge that this was false and twice
called Cheatham a liar without the
latter’s resenting it.
Dr. Bahnson has introduced wit
nesses from many sections of the
state to disprove the charges. These
witnesses state that their transac-,
tions with the office of the Veterin
arian had been very satisfactory and
helpful.

TEN.YEAR-OLD LANGSTON BOL
TON MAY LOSE EYE AS RE
SULT OF ACCIDENT.
A coco cola bottle in the hands of
Langston Bolton, the ten-year-old son
of Mr. S. L. Bolton, burst without
warning Thursday, and a sharp
piece of the flying glass pierced
the eyeball and cut deeply in
to the flesh, making a very
painful and what is feared a
serious wound. Dr. Guy Chappell
was called, and as scon as he made an
examination rushed the patient to an
eye specialist at Americus. It will be
necessary for the injured boy to re
ma'n in the hospital at that place for
some time, and it is hoped that it will
be found that the injury is not so se
vere as was at first thought.
EDAWSON LOSES THREE IN
| ROW TO UNION SPRINGS.
Last Monday, when the 6:45 Cen
tral train pulled out en route to
Union Springs, there were- aboard 12
husky and determined ball tossers,
who were determined to invade “Old
Alabama” and bring home the pro
verbial bacon. And although our boys
did put up a stiff fight the boys from
Alabama proved too much for them
and didn’t even let us have a single
game. Lefty Scott or better known
as “Handsome Harry” twirled a won
erful game the first day and had the
heavy sluggers of Union Springs as
gentle as kittens. The score read
Dawson 1 and Union Springs 0, un
til the last half of the ninth. Then it
was dame fortune, not only turned
her smiling counternance away from
the home boys but delivered a swift
kick also. Our sterling little center
fielder, .Ed Wade and our brilliant
rightfielder, “Miller Griggs,” did an
awful “head-on” and when the smoke
and debris had cleared away and the
Union Springs boys had shoved two
runs across the pan, it was found
that Ed’s collar bone had been broken
and the game little rascal had played
the game out, although suffering in
tense pain.
Ronald Lanier pitched both the
second and last game over there. The
first game went astray by a 6 to 0
count, the Dawson' boys playing air
tight ball. But the last game the local
boys took an ascension and let the
Alabama team pile up 4 runs while
Dawson was satisfied with a measly
2
Dawson Wins at Home.
With Bradley Hogg pitching for
Dawson, the visiting team from Cor
dele simply did not have a look in.
Besides the Cordele team performed
like high school kids, the locals mak
ing runs at will. Tl;xe final score was
9 0 1.
The second game was by far more
exciting. The locals grabbed a lead
in the early stage of the game, but
with the Cordelians fighting desper
ately and threatening to score every
inning, * ‘“Handsome Harry”’ Scott
gave way to old “Ironsides” Lanier,
who quickly put out the threatening
rally. Then the team, to prove to
Ronald they meant to have the game,
jumped onto the much heralded in
ynceable Foster and pounded him
for 5 runs in the eight thereby
putting ye old game on the proverbial
ice.
The last game, played on Satur
day, was just about as full of thrills
as one of those serial movie pictures
at the Palace Theatre and the goodly
crowd of fans all declared they got
their four hits worth, with the score
5 to 0 against Dawson, the Cordelians
voted unamimously for another bal
loon ascension and handed the locals
exactly enough runs in the sixth in
ning to tie the score. After that,
though, both sides played air-tight
‘ball and neither side could break the
'dead-lock. Jack Holland was on the
‘mound for the home team and fan
‘ned 12 men. Jack is certainly a
heady youngster and deserved to win
\his game.
Camp Benning This Week.
Three more fast games are in
store for the fandom of Dawson this
wek. The Camp Benning team from
Columbus have found such teams as
Union Springs and Brewton, Ala.,
easy marks and no doubt they expect
Dawson to furnish fresh pelts for
their belts. However, the local nine
has been strengthened for this series
‘and the soldier boys will be badly
fooled if they expect an easy time.
Union Springs All Next Week.
When Greek meets Greek! Dia
mond cut diamond! Ohd but ye base
ball fans will be treated to some
real article of baseball next week;
The last games of the season, the
strongest and fiercest rival the locals
have—Union Springs! Now listen,
this is a secret and we wouldn’t let
it g't out for anything. (Bradley
Hogg, Babe Wilder and Sal Jenkins
are going to pitch for us that week.)
If Union Springs learns of this, we
wouldn’t be surprisel if thev didn't
get in touch with Walter Jchnson,
Dana Fillingim or perhaps Babe
Ruth. Anyway, Dawson is de
termined to wipe out our recent dis
grace over in Alabama when we lost
3 straight by winning all five games.
Now the boys from Alabama are as
hard to beat as a Bolshevik army
and they are coming after that 60
per cent. gate money. We say it
stays here, so there you are. When
Shakespere said “fur will fly” the old
boy spake a mouthful . |

he got tired of syrup and prefers
cotton and bollweevils. Welcome,
Thomas, old boy. i
~ Ed Wade’s absence from our line
up is being keenly felt. This
youngster is by far thg most bril
liant outfielder seen on the local field
‘this year and the 'writer predicts a
bright career in the baseball world
for him. Ed says he is getting along
fine, thank you.
The addition of Maxwell Dixon
and Clay Bostwick to our outfield
adds 45 per cent.to the strength of
our team. Both are dangerous hit
ters and run bases like veterans.
Well, Mac has gone and we mean
it when we say we want find another
like him. His job as conductor on
the G. F. & A. calls him and by now
Mac is holding daily converse with
gophers, frogs and alligators along
his route.
Bill Kimball is being sought out by
the management to handle the vacan
cy left by Mr. Corvey. Bill is a vet
eran receiver himself and will make
our club a good man. >
