(r‘”r‘:" the following ipteresting pa
s on' 2 recent gathering at Wash
.. o world-wide importance:
“Afl- [nierparliamentary Union at
Washington Was the most important
atheriiie oi international figures since
f( \,l-hington conference. Never
im' o many representatives o.f SO
]‘n‘,“' oovernments sat under a single
roof in this or any other country! Al
most every nation in the western hem
s ohere Was represented, and virtunally
j",'] ‘i Europe except _Russia, Spain and
’%wk“ Japan sent its delegates, but
there were 10 Chinese. These states
men {rom 41 countries groping 1 a
| paze of languages icel that they have
| mede @ notable contribution toward
b world peace. Perhgps tl]e greatest
pandicap under which this and all
other sternational conferences labor
s the diversity of languages. Under
the rulcs every speech must be trans
jted into two other languages, thus
aultiplying by three the time used
py cach speaker—37l statesmen, in-
Juding seven women, were in attend
ance six days; friends _;md foes of a
fw vears ago mingled in perfect har
mony. The red, black and yclloyv flag
oi Germany hung besde the tri-color
oi France and the British Union Jack
on the walls of the house of repre
entatives, where the delegates as
mbled.
" Probably the high point o 1 the
meeting was the solemn warning of
jormer Sceretary of State Elihu Root
that iroversies and quarrels be
een nations are certain to come,
and mere agreement not to have filcm
is iutile. However, in his appeal for
e codification of the international
aw he adds that the League of Na
tions, Permanent Court of Justice and
The Hague Court of Arbitration
promise tO facilitate the presqrvation
of peace to a degree never before at-
Kicking Out Tong Murderers.
That China sent no representative
to this world-wide important gather
ing and the anti-foreign campaign in
China against westerners during the
list few months is reacting on the
Chinese in an unexpected and un
paralleled way is demonstrated in the
deportation of Chinese illegally resi
dent in this country and the kicking
out of the Tong mutderers, Uncle
Sam. noting the inability of the po
lice to cope with the situation, has
tossed his hat into the arena, the first
me in 30 years.. It is not safe to
propheccy regarding any matter in
which the Chinese are concerned, but
it begins to look like Uncle Sam has
«wlved the problem of making the
Tongs behave. So much in behalf of
our much discussed immigration law.
Americanizing Turkey.
That Turkey did not send a dele
gate does not by any means indicate
any antagonism, On the other hand,
we read with delight the remarks from
the Turkish minister of education in
Constantinople . recently. He said
the Turkish government is a friend
of American schools; we want our
children to go to them and learn
American culture. Turkey is a nation
being born today. She is not facing
the cast as Persia, but rather has she
faced in the opposite direction. It is
from your books, your influences that
we have gotten the ideas that inspire
our effort to establish democracy. The
western ideal is revolutionizing this
land. Ten years ago if a Turk had
wore a hat on his head instead of a
fez his head would have been cut off.
Now had - z 5
Now we have a law decreeing that
all officials should dress in the Euro
pean fashion, We have not lightly en
tered on the road; we have fought for
it, planned for it, died for it and we
are determined to go on.
It is our desire that our children
know America and love America. You
fave helped us in the past, you will
help us in the future. Our faces are
toward the west. s
Marines Removed From Nicarague.
_Another evidence of our standing

aelp the weaker, small countries- was
shown thirteen years ago, when we
sent our marines to assist the admin
\' noin_suppressing revolts in
Acaragrua. Not only have the marines
maintained order but have saved that
gvernment a million dollars a year.
briefly the United States has set its
ttle Sister republic on its feet. Last
Octc cr they succeeded in electing

A] rts that Love Rejects
udge Asserts that Love R
All the Rules of Common Senses
CHICAGO, IlL.—All rules of common sense are rejected in love, says
Judge William N, Gemmill, noted member of Chicago’s court of domes
tio relations, in a book he is writing for publication soon.
When to resist and when to pursue, that’s the question, he declares.
And he thinks that if one could be inoculated against puppy love some of
the divorce courts would go out of business. ;
“Lfie would not be worth living if every fellow married an Evangel
ine or Maud Miller. We must continue to play the same old game in
the same old way. It is still “blind man’s buff. !
“Falling in love is the most natural, yet the most extraordinary
thing in life. The extraordinary thing about it is that all ordinary rules
of common sense are rejected. Some people fall in and fall out a dozen
times without sceming the worse for wear. If one can resist t_hc first at
tack it is easier to resist the second., The real perplexing thing is to know
when you ought to succumb. : sl
“It takes a wise man to know when it is the real thing and when it is
only ‘puppy love.’ 5

will have will never have any. Somehow, we are not made that way.

GEORGIA BEFORE 1828
|
B i
INDIANS WERE AWARE OF
PRESENCE OF YELLOW ME
TAL IN WHITE COUNTY.
DAHLONEGA, Ga—Gold, that
yvellow metal which has been the ob
ject of man singe time immemorial,
was first found in Georgia prior to
the date usually given for its discov
ery.
According to the testimony of the
earlier residents of Lumpkin county,
it was found near here prior to 1828
when the metal was first seen on
Duke’s creek, in White county. The
discovery of the precious metal
brought an inrush of settlers, many
of them adventurers seeking their for
tunes, while others were substantial
miners, anxious to develop the rich
treasures hidden in the hills,
Among those falling into the latter
group was Reese Crisson, one of the
best known metallurgists of his day,
who came to Dahlonega in the year
gold was found. Another was Joseph
Edwards, a man who became a lead
ing citizen of the community in later
years.
The Indians were undoubtedly
aware of the existence of gold depos
its in the Cherokee country, but were
probably ignorant of its value. They
knew it by the name ' ‘“taloneka,”
meaning ‘“yellow metal.” From this
designation Dahlonega takes its simi
lar sounding name.
The United States mint was estab
lished in Dahlonega in 1836 and skill
ed workmen were brought from Phil
adelphia to place the mint in opera
tion. Until recent years many of the
gold dollars in circulation throughout
the United States bore the mark of
this mint. It was discontinued when
the supply of gold was found to be
far more limited than that of the new
ly opened fields in California.
CRIES OF VICTIMS HEARD UN-%
DER WRECKAGE. HUNDREDS
ARE NOW HOMELESS.
Nineteen persons were killed and|
scores injured, some seriously, in thci
worst tornado which ever hit Ala
bama. Property damage runs into thc!
tens of thousands of dollars. Hun
dreds were made homeless. :
Near Troy four members of one |
family were killed instantly and thc‘
parents are not expected to live.
Six persons were killed and six
houses blown down in Comer and
Springhill. About a quarter of a mile
oif telephone wire there was blown
away, poles blown out of the ground
and considerable crop damage done.
Three persons were killed, and the
overseer's home on the plantation of
sormer Governor Comer was blown
away at Comer. The Comer pecan
orchard, a vast acreage, is a complete
wreck. .
Dead Scattered Along Road. i
Residents of Comer were aroused
by the cries of the injured and work
ed in a heavy downpour of rain amid
vivid flashes of lightning for hoursi
giving aid and searching for the miss
ing. The dead and injured were scat
tered along the roads, in the fields and
around the demolished homes.
In the path of the storm, which
came up from the west and passed
out toward the northeast, a trail of|
wreckage was left, ~homes demolish
ed, barns blown down, cattle and o:h-‘
er live stock wandering aimlcsslyl
about, household goods strewn a]nngl
the highways and through the fields
and timber laid low and farm crops
completely ruined.

COUNTY WITHOUT A NEGRO,

probably cannot be equaled by any
other county in Georgia. It has ncith-!

CONCENTRATED KNOWLEDGE
The formula of ink used in printing
bank notes for the Bank of England
is known to only six persons.
WHITE RACE AND
YELLOW PEOPLE WILL LAST,
SAVANT PREDICTS. WORLD ‘
STATISTICS COMPILED. ‘
% The white and black races are dy
ing, but the yellow race will survive,
according to Prof. Gratjahn, eminent
savant, who has compiled world sta
tistics on birth rates, Says a Berlin
cable to the Chicago Tribune.
No race can survive unless every
1,000 inhabitants can boast twenty
children, says Prof. Grotjahn. The
birth rate of the white race through
out the world is under this minimum.
The United States is slightly over
the minimum, but cannot balance the
European figures, which are below the
quota needed to save the white race.
German Births Decrease.
Even in Germany, which, according
|to the census, has increased in popu
|lation, the white race is threatened
| with extinction. The increase: shown
lis due only to the return of numerous
| German citizens from the colonies and
| provinces lost by the peace treaty, and
‘inot to the birth rate. The latter is
| declining. In 1872 more than forty
children were born for every 1,000 in
habitants. In 1900 this already had
dropped to thirty-five, A year before
{the war the birth rate was slightly
more than twenty-seven for every 1,-
{OOO inhabitants, while in 1924 it dropp
icd to twenty-one.
| Furthermore, the average is. still
[lower in the towns. In 1923, for in
|stance, Berlin boasted only nine and
one-hali children for every 1,000 in
habitants.
France has the lowest birth rate in
{ Europe, nor does England come up
{to the quota. There are nineteen and
|one-half children born for every 1,000
linhabitants. Switzerland, which did
‘;not suffer in the war, registers fewer
lthan twenty births for each 1,000 in
\ltahitants.
| Due to Selfishness.
! Prof, Grotjahn blames the selfish-
Iness of the modern generation for this
|dropping birth rate. When men and
[women who are 60 now die the world
[suddenly will realize how much the
|drop in the birth rate means in world
affairs.
* The black race is unable to cope
with modern life, Prof. Grotjahn be
ilicves. On the coast of Africa the pop
lulation is dwindling, and the'reforc
|’thc_v are no danger for the whites.
| But the yellow race has all the ele
'ments of victory. It seems predestined
ito survive unless the whites pass dras
|tic measures to save the race.

Whether Rain or Not,
Desert Flowers Bloom
Some of Them Grow Out of Rock
And Are 15 Feet High.
On the road from Florence to the
Ashurst-Hayden diversion dam, in
sunny Arizona many hundreds of
Igiant cactus trees are to be seen.
|Some of them have several arms or
limbs, others have none, and they
grow to as high as 15 fcet, erect. From
‘thc foothills to the tops of the moun
tains, some of them growing right out
!oi the boulders, these strange cactus
|trees stand like troops of horsemen.
Amid the sand, sage brush and grease
|\voo(l~—thcy form a never-to-be-for
gotten picture.
In May of each year great clusters
of waxy white flowers resembling
|primroses burst out from the very tips
lof the several branches. Then in June
ithc harvest of fruit begins. A pod
opens, something like a cotton boll,
| while the fruit is blood-red, with small
!jet-hlack seeds. Indians use this fruit
las their staple food. They go about
lin bands to gather it, a sweet refresh
ing morsel to eat when fresh, and said
to be equally appetizing when pre
served or dried for winter use. It is
lalso possible to make an intoxicating
| liquor from this iruit. Others .make
\sirup and flour from the same cactus
| blooms.
| The Papago Indians believed it a
|crime to destroy one of these trees.
| They used a long fork with which to
ipick the fruit, for to climb the trunks
lis almost impossible. The outer sur
| face is covered with fine spines or
| needles, protection against man and
|beast alike. Palo Verde trees, yet an
|other species of the cactus, also grow
lin this vicinity and once a year burst
into great clusters of yellow blooms.
| N 6 matter if it rains or not, the desert
lhas its annual crop of beautiful flow
lers.

THE DAWSON NEWS
INHERITANCE TAX AND ROAD
BUILDING SHOULD BE TRANS
FERRED, SAYS PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—President
Coolidge sees much good behind the
present widespread agitation against
the centralization of authority in
Washington,
But he feels that if legislation like
the federal inheritance tax is repeald,
leaving that field open to the states,
such a course will impose upon the
state governments a heavy responsi
bility for carrying out the functions
thus given them. .
An outline of the president’s views,
made available today at thé white
house, disclosed that he believes it
awould be preferable to have the states
assume many functions of government
that are now carried out in co-opera
tion with the federal government.
Recent visits to the capital of sev
eral state governors on taxation mat
ters have been closely observed by
Mr, Coolidge, who views their appeals
for repeal of the federal inheritance
tax as a step in line with increasing
other functions of state govcrhments.‘
One of these functions which he be
lieves could be carried out to a much
larger extent by the states is in high-‘
way construction. :
. In this connection the federal gov
‘ernment would of necessity make al
lowances to states in which.are locat
ed large fracts of the public domain
as well as those with a small popula
tion, but in general it is the program
‘m’ the administration to encourage
ihigh\vay development by the states
rather than a continuation of its pro
'motion from Washington,

MANY DAWSON FOLKS HAVE
' FOUND THE WAY
Is a dull nerve-racking headache
‘wearing you out? Do you feel older
and slower than you should? Are you
‘tired, weak and nervous; find it im
lpossible to be happy, or enjoy the
good times around you? Then there’s
something wrong and likely its your
kidneys. Why not get at the cause?
Use Doan’s Pills—a stimulant diuret
ic to the kidneys. Your neighbors
recommend Doan’s. Read what this
Dawson resident says:
Mrs. J. C. Hill, 634 E. Lee St., says:
“T had dull backaches and pains
through my kidneys. Frequent head
aches and dizzy spells made me mis
erable and my kidneys acted irregu
larly. Doan’s Pills soon cured me of
the attack.”
FOUR YEARS LATER, Mrs.
Hill said: * Doan’s Pills gave me
great relief when I used them.” |
Price 60c. at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
