cHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL%
TAKE UP MATTER. DOCTORS
HAVE SUBSCRIBED §sB,ooo.
At the Thursday night meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce a move
ment will be launched to build a
county memorial hospital in Dawson.
The hospital situation has long
heen @ neglected issue 1n the pro
ressive movements of the county
ind city, and now that 'the doctors
pave expressed their desire for such
an institution by d_ongtmg $§,000.00
2 3 peginning it 15'1mperat1ve tl'iat
the undertaking receive the attention
and support of every citizen of the
county. For no matter how prominent
or how obscure, how nc!\ or .how
poor the head of every family within
the confines of the state will sooner
or later feel the need of an institu
tion capable of properly caring for
their loved ones when they become
sick or injured.
Dawson is in the heart of the most
progressive section of Georgia. In
the matter of schools, education,
pealth, prosperity and natural re
- gurces Terrell county and Dawson
' junk far ahead of most and fall be
hind none in the state, but it is far
in the background compared to the
gp-to-date manner in which other lo
calities care for their sick. Such
towns as Tifton, Fitzgerald, Moul
trie, Valdosta, Douglas, Forsyth
Newnan and Monroe have one or
more well equipped hospitals. But we
who have wealth and education, auto
mobiles and paved streets, hotels,
cafes and places of amusement, we
who live in the 20th .century in
every particular except in the care
of our sick, are still treating them
so far as nursing is concerned
just as our grandparents did. Daw
<on is erowing, and will continue to
grow, but it will not be in the front
ranks of education and progressive
ness until it has arranged a suitable
place to care for its sick, especially
the ones who are unable to go to the
city.
We have raised $lOO,OOO to build
o home for our guests, now let us
raise what is mecessary to build a
home for our sick.

When Milady Gardens
She Is Entrancing
Summer gardening among the
fair is the thing this summer
and dictators of summer fash
ions have taken advantage of the
. craze by designing garden frocks
that are most alluring. Milady
must be fetching even in the
garden, for she is clever enough
to know that dress has been the
cause of many a tragedy and
that many a romance has been
woven near the English rose
garden by the blooming poppy or
near the garden pool that sup
ports blue-spired hyacinths, lo
tus and creeping flox. Be your
garden of whatever color schéme
it may, designers have caught
its beauty on the warp or woof
of a garden frock, just too
charmingly sweet to resist, could
you see it. Chiffon cotton crepes
there are, printed with climbing
roses that cling to a trellis or
borders of blue larkspur and
yellow humming birds. There
are Bo Peep smocks that may
tip either a skirt or a distinc
tive pair of breeches that are
tucked into boots.
LARGE CROWD OF VOTERS IS TO
HEAR GUBERNATIONAL CAN
DIDATE PRESENT CLAIMS
Hon. Clifford Walker will present
his claims as candidate for governor in
Dawson Wednesday morning, when he
will speak in the superior court room
at 11 o‘clock. A large crowd is ex
pected to hear him, as Mr. Walker has
many friends dnd near-friends
throughout this section.
As former solicitor general of the
western judicial circuit and attorney
general of the state four years, both
of which positions he filled with credit
to himself, Mr. Walker has had ex
perience in public matters that has
madé him conversant with the affairs
of state and fitted him for the high of
fice to which he now aspires.
The public generally, including the
ladies, are invited to hear him present
on tomorrow his claims to the office
;an;] discuss the records of his oppon
ents.
| PRISONER FASTENED IN AUTO .
Terrell County Forger Made His
Escape After Being Appre
hended in Albany.
‘ Mose Washington, a Parrott
negro to escape arrest for forgery
took refuge in a hotel at Albany as
dishwasher, thinking to elude the
| officers. Constable Hollis Kenyon
of the Parott district in some un
known way got on to the where
abouts of the said forger, promptly
arrested and put handcuffs on him.
The officer then parked his automo
bile in front of the Plaza cafe and
went inside to get something to eat.
He made the negro fast by unloosing
one of his hands from the cuffs and’
fastening the other side to one of the
| standards of the car. When he re
{ turned the officer found that the
prisoner had secured a pair of pliers
with the free hand and unfastened
the standard from the body of the
| car, thus freeing the handcuffs so
he could make his escape. Police in
Albany were notified, but the wily
' prisoner had made a complete get-a
| way.

FIVE GOOD GAMES ON THE{
LOCAL DIAMOND GAVE THE
FANS A JUBILANT WEEK.
o ——— |
Dawson broke the wire a close'
winner in the last and deciding séries
with Unicn Springs, winning three
of the five-game contest. On Mon
day the locals took the visitors in
camp to the tune of 4to 1. Bradley‘
Hogg was on the hill for the Georgia
Crackers with Tardy working on the
slab for the sister state.
The next day, Tuesday, the visit
ors came back with a vengeance, and
easily disposed of the locals by a
score of 5 to one. Jesse Wolf pass
ed them over for Union Springs, with
Jack Holland, the Bronwood phe
'nom, in the stellar role for Dawson.
The locals played well until the
' ninth, when with one accord they
joined the bird gamg and before the
smoke cleared we had swallowed the
bitter dose of defeat.
Ashby Fuss, old Mercer star, hurl
ed us to a victory of 8 to 2 on Wed
nesday. This game was a slugging
contest in which the locals slugged
farther amd longer.
Bradley Hogg toiled on the mound
Thursday, and again brought home
the bacon. He was opposed by Elk
ing of Camp Benning fame. This
was another free hitting encounter.
Hogg had less than he has ever
shown here and Elkins didn’t have
that much stuff, so we were again
returned a winner 7 to 5. |
On the last day of the series we
went down in defeat, due to the re
markable twirling of Wolfe and
the disappointing ineffectiveness of |
Jenkins. If Sal even had a prayer
it was mighty hard to see. While on
the other hand in his palmiest days
the “Bearcat’” never had more stuff
than he dished out Friday. To quote
the classiec words of “High-pockets”,
the elongated guardian of the initial
station, Wlolf’s fast one looked like a
curve and vice versa. Jesse didn’t
issue a hit until the ninth, when with
two down Spivey singled sharply to
left. Lanier, who relieved Jenkins,
pitched jam up ball. The final score
was 6 to 0.
For one more season Dawson has
taken her stand in the national pas
time, and as of old has come out vie
torious. There has been not one
kick by the visiting players of the
treatment received here; rather, they
all join in giving Dawson and Ter
rell the reputation of being the
squarest and best baseball team in
south Georgia.
Fats and Leans Will Play Thursday-
On Thursday afternoon at Baldwin
park the Fats and Leans will tie up in
a post season scrap to make up the
deficit in the ball club’s resources.
Several notables will pastime and all
in all it will be an enjoyable time for
everyone. John Kennedy of big
league fame will work on the slab for
the visitors and Officer McGraw will
' be-his battery mate.
For the Leans William Crouch will
ring ’em up, with Jack McNulty re
ceiving. These batteries have op
posed before in the big leagues and
always put up a tight game. Shors
Arm Mitchell will play the key stone
sack, with Harry Rogers at the hot
corner.
Bob McCollum at first base, Mar
shall at second, Lawrence Norton at
short are some of the stars of the
Fats. Mr. Andrew Hill will officiate.
Following is the complete roster:
Fats—MecGraw, Duke Marshall,
Dr. Patrick, Mack Brown, Nas

Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea |
Remedy. |
This is unquestionably one of the |
most successful medicines in use for |
bowel complaints. A few doses of it |
will cure an ordinary attack of diar- ’1
rhoea. It has been used in nine epi- |
demics of dysentery with perfect |
success, It can always be depended 1
upon to give prompt relief in cases of |
colic and cholera morbus. When re- ;
duced with water and sweetened it is |
pleasant to take. Every family ||
should keep this remedy at hand. |

To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed—to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous uri
nary disorders is-enough to make
any kidney sufferer grateful. The fol
lowing advice of one who has suffered
will prove helpful to hundreds of
Dawson readers. .
Mrs. L. E. Welch, 340 E, Eleventh
ave.,, Dawson. gave the following
statement May 2, 1911: “For about a
year I suffered with rheumatic troub
le which undermined my health, so I
became helpless. My back bothered
me a lot, too. Seeing Doan’s Kidney
Pills advertised for just such cases
as mine I began their use. Doan’s
soon strengthened my back, removed
the rheumatic trouble and made me
feel fine in every way.”
On April 15, 1918, Mrs. Welch
said: “I cannot praise Doan’s Kidney
Pills too highly for what they have
done for me. I know they are worthy
of a trial by anyone having kidney
trouble.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Weleh had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
