HOW YOUR TAX MONEY
WILL BE EXPENDED
PURPOSES FOR WHICH LEV
IES WERE MADE. AS HIGH
AS $45.00 FOR SOME.
As stated in the last issue of The
News the tax rate for Terrell county
was fixed at 15 mills, or $15.00 on the
thousand, which, added to the county
school tax of 5 mills and state tax of
5 mills, will make $25.00 on the thous
and property owners will pay this

Mr. Edwards’ Letter.
To the Voters of Dawson: One ofl
the most vitally important questions
that has been submitted to the people
of this municipality will be voted on
Thursday, and it behooves every citi-|
zen who loves his home town, the fu
ture welfare and comfort of his Cllil-‘
dren to vote on that date. -
Under the peculiar phase of the law
it is possible that every registered vo
ter who fails to vote will be counted
against bonds.
For many years the school board
has expended from the funds raised
for school purposes, such amounts as
were needed to repairs of buildings,
addition to buildings, heating appara
tus, insurance and such items ag really
belonged to building account, and
should have been paid by the city
council; this act of the board depleted
its funds for current expenses and in
volved it in a difficult situation.
The buildings now need repairs, the
grounds need improvement, apparatus
is defective and insufficient, athletics
are badly handicapped and many needs
can not be supplied for want of funds.
The district school meet will be
held here this spring; we are ‘far be
hind some of the towns of Dawson’s
class in buildings and equipment; we
fully equal them in quality of children.
Additional funds are absolutely es
sential that the Dawson public schools
shall function properly, and educate
our children well, Bonds are the easi-‘
est, most equitable and satisfactory
source of such. Voting for bonds now
and improving the appearance and ef
ficiency of our school plant will en-‘
hance the inclination of the remainder
of the county to join with Dawson in
a county high school; by the time that
is effected the other branches of the
Dawson schools will need every avail
able room now in existence; we are
now converting the old auditorium
from an athletic hall to class rooms;
we will have the largest senior class
in the history of the Dawson school.
You who have children to educate
rally to the most important secular in
stitution in Dawson; stand by your
children in this crucial hour, join us in
giving to them that which time cannqt
destroy, age stale nor thieves steal—a
good education.
You who have no children put aside
all mercenery thought of taxes, put
the child before the dollar, give freely
of your interest, of your money of
your love, and let us all so act in this
exaremity that posterity may revere
our memory when gone, and our town
be a better town for those who follow
us. With this improvement the hands
of the children will be swifter to
achieve, the souls to aspire and the
mind to execute deeds worthy of our
' hopes.
l Let us all vote for bonds Thursday.
M. C. EDWARDS.

SEVERAL BALES OF COTTON
SCORCHED IN MIDNIGHT FIRE
Automatic Alarm Prevented Serious
Conflagration at Warehouse.
Fourteen bales of cotton were slight
ly burned at Hill & Hill's warehouse
about midnight Thursday.
Had it not been for an automatic
alarm which was installed with a
sprinkler system, the fire might have
been a serious one, as large quantities
of cotton were stored in the building.
l Policeman Smith, who was on duty,
heard the alarm and called out the fire
'department, and the flames were ex
'tinguished before much damage was
done. " :
It is believed that the fire was
brought to the warchouse in a bale
iOf cotton which was ginned that day.

ALL OUT OF SORTS?
SO WAS THIS DAWSON WO
MAN, WHO TELLS HER |
EXPERIENCE.
All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak!
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy”spells
and that tired, depressed feeling.‘
Thousands have found new health and
strength by helping the weakened
kidneys with Doan’s Pills—a stimu
lant diuretic. This Dawson case is
one of many:
Mrs. L. E. Welch, 340 E. Tenth
avenue, says: “I was all run down and
suffered from kidney complaint. My
back was weak and lame and it was
a task to get about the house. My
kidneys acted too often and I was so
nervous I could hardly sit still. Doan’s
Pills, from Lee’s drug store, quickly
helped me and the backache and other
symptoms left.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs.
Welch had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs.,
