\
MATTER TAKEN UP WITH SU
PERINTENDENT OF CEN
TRAL ON VISIT HERE.
Messrs. R. R. Marlin, H. A. Petty
and J. A. Shields, on learning that
Mr. Henry Baldwin, division superin
tendent of the Central of Ga. railroad,
would be in Dawson Tuesday, were
promptly at the station to take up
with him the' matter of continuing the
operation of a union station for the
Central of Georgia and the Sea Board
Air Line railways instead of separate
passenger depots as formerly.
These representatives of the Cham
ber of Commerce presented numerous
reasons whx the present arrangement
is desired. It is decidedly more ~con
venient for the traveling public, being
more accessible and more comfortable
as a place of waiting for trains. An
other advantage is the broad paved
street leading directly from the heart
of the city to the Central station. The
Seaboard station is wholly inadequate
for a city of Dawson’s size and im
portance, and is some distance from
the business section. After hearing
the arguments so forcefully presented
Mr. Baldwin gave the committee
reason to believe that he was Teady
to co-operate with them in every way
possible, and would carefully consider
the suggestions wmade that a large
shed be erected and a concrete walk
laid for the protection and comfort of
the traveling public. )
In the meantime the Chamber of
Commerce is alive to the city’s best
interest, and will leave no stone un
turned to bring about these improve
ments.

ON “CITIZENSHIP
Woman’s Club Is Addressed by Mr.
Wilkinson. Sale of Christmas
Seals Amounted to $200.00.
- The January meeting of the Daw
son Woman’s Club, held Wednesday
afternoon at the club house, present
ed two features of unusual interest. .
The first was the report-of Mrs.
Guy Chappell, manager of the recent
Christmas seal campaign. In spite of
depressed ‘conditions returns from
Dawson and from the county schools
show a total sale of stamps to the
amount of $200.00, thirty per cent of
which will be used by the health com
mittee of the Woman’s Club, the re
mainder going to the’ Anti-Tubercu
losis League. Especial mention must
be made of the enthusiastic support
in the drive given by the colored
schools of Dawson.. They sold every
seal placed with them, and applied
for. more.
The unique feature of the January
meeting was the first of a series of
lectures on ‘“Citizenship.” The ch,l? is
greatly indebted to Col. H. A. V ilk
inson, who -acted as instructor on this
occasion, and, though hampered by
the very breadth of the subject-as
signed him, showed fine judgment in
selecting just the phases the women
need to study.
After a brief presentation of the
basic principles of democracy, and of
the general definition of citizenship,
Col. Wilkinson confined his lecture to
the franchise. He gave facts as to
qualification, privileges, and responsi
bilities of voters; he explained the
machinery of the franchisg, and, to
visualize the process of voting, he
passed among the club members spec
imens of voters’ tickets, tally sheets
and precinct returns,
The club wishes it understood that
the series of lectures on “Citizenship”
is open to the public. The women of
Dawson and of the county are cordial
ly invited to be present at these clear,
concrete lessons. REPORTER..

City. ‘Council Adopts the
1921 License Tax Ordinance.

tax on minstrel or other shows per
forming under tents was raised from
$l6 to $25 a day and from $26 to $lOO

Chapter «Is Joining in the Anti-Nar
cotic Fight. Medical Temperarnice
Was Discussed.
A good beginning of the new year
in temperance work was the January
meeting of the W. C. T. U. in reg
ular session, Mrs. C. A. Harris pre
siding.
After the usual devotionals and the
routine of business the meeting was
turned over to Mrs. J. W. Patterson,
superintendent of medical temperance,
who presented the testimony of scient
ists that death, poisonings and the
drug habit result from taking many
so-called medicines on the market.
This was pointed out as one of the
most ‘common evils that is undermin
ing the health of those ignorant of
what goes into the pdepatation 'of
these nostrums. The leading medical
men of the world have declared that
alcohol in any form is a narcotic poi
son, and has no place in the treat
ment of tuberculosis or common colds,
approplexy and snake bite, and neither
is it good for feeble and old people or
young children. They further state
that the alcohol rub is a fallacy, olive
oil being superior. The investigations
of these scientific experts is also
against many of the soft drinks as
containing poison that makes nervous
wrecks. They further declare that
most of the headache powders con
tain a very dangerous drug that de
presses the heart and in many _cases
cause death.
The anti-narcotic fight of the W.
T. C. U. is opening the eyes of the
public to the danger of many prepara
tions and is emphasizing the benefits
of pure air and water with sunshine
as preventive measures with the lib
eral use of fresh vegetables and fruits
as a part of a wholesome diet for
‘keeping one in good health.

ing the year as the initial money for
the building of the annex to the

D. Collier, which was followed by the
acceptance of the gift by Prof. J. €.

two by baptism. Despite the weather
on Sunday night there were one hun
dred and fifty present. There was one
