DAWsON JOURNAL S. R. WESTON ft W. F. COfiBS, kditous and morniEToxs. A> .j ffS OA , €i »/ •, Thursday, August 31, ISTI. I js” Heading mailer on every pnge.^ffc-% t); ko,' t We five under obligations to Dr. W . M. Dykes, of Macon county, for a stalk of cotton taken from one of bis field*, which in our opinion reflects much credit on him as an enterprising anti progressive planter. A\ e chanced to moot the Doctor on the cars in compa ny with his neighbors, rn route for the Romo Agricultural Convention, while the'suhjoct of improved < oitonwa* being discussed* The gentlemen above re ferred to remarked that Dr. Dykes had tho host cotton they had ever soon, that lie had been for a number of years buying all tho improved seed lie could hear of, testing their virtues, holding to those he found to bo wor thy and discarding tho other. The Doctor lias by proper culture and man agement caused those improved cot tons to bo mixed or crossed, and he n m lias a cotton that he, or rather his neighbors, challenges the world to bent. The stalk sent us was planted after the 20th of May, was much damaged by grass and unfavorable seasons, shone 1 signs of damage by tho boll worm, still one could cover with his baud sixteou forms, blooms and bolls. This cotton is noted for its proximity of limbs —often two at the same joint —tho largo number of joints on the limbs, with two bolls and forms at ev ery joint and also bolls between joints, size of boll, thrift, and adaptedneos to medium pine land, growing two weeks longer in severe droughts than com mon cotton, and producing a superior lint. Wo arc assmed by tho neighbors and hiends of Dr. Dykes that it would well repay any planter to visit bis fann, and we are authorized to stale that the Doctor will have his horse and buggy at Montezuma to meet and convey to his house 0113* who may wish to visit him, if three days’ notice be givon. Such a man in any neighbor hood would work wonders in the sci ence of agriculture. Come to our fair, Doctor, and carry oif some of tho pre miums offered. 'flic Slulc Itoiiil Corruption. As time advances what was once recognized as an almost impregnable mystery, is beginning slowly but sure ly to be dir solved, the mist is clearing away, and if a power creating party dres not interfere with plans that are being instituted by the Attorney Gen eral they will filially culminate in an exposure of tho entire fraud. Con trary to tho wishes of tho former Su_ periutendont the Books of tho Road have been turned over to a committee of citizens with a promise of compe tent Book-keepers to ai l thorn in see ing the exact state of affairs as shown by the Books. The arrest of those suspicioned is not confined to Atlanta, hut a prominent merchant from Sa vannah lias been ordered to give an account of his actions in the premises. What the future may disclose remains to bo seen. Gov. Bullock has just re turned from New York, and tho At lanta San has the following in regard to his return in connection with tho investigation. Wo trust that this in vestigation will not only explain the cause of the road not paying a divi dend undor theSuporintandency of Mr. Blodgett, as it now doe?, in the hands of Lessees, but also why it is that so cany subordinate officers of the road are charged with and found guilty of crime, when the Superintendent pleads not only iunoconco hut ignor ance as to what was going on. The Governor returned to tho city yesterday morning after an absence of a month or more. Ho has returned at a critical junct ure, and rarious are the conjectures as to what will bo his course in regard to the investigation now going on, and the agreement entered into concerning tho custody ot tho Rail Road Books and papers. Some predict that he will at once or der thorn back into tho possession of Blodgett; and allege that they contain evidence of the Governor’s complicity with, or connivance at, the frauds and robberies alleged, and will take some steps to prevent them from being scru tinized ; and that ho will repudiate the agreement of Colonel Farrow, and take the books and papers out of the hands of Messrs. Hammock, Redwino and Rawson. Others allege that 6uch a step would amount to the best of evidence that ho is guilty ; would give ground for pub lic suspicion, and that he has more good common seuso than thus to ex pose himself in this way. Other guesses are made and fancies which are too numerous to allude to. As His Excelleny did not send for and communicate to us his views—therefore we refrain from publishing them. Two boats of South Carolina loilists of the African persuasion crossed the river, Tuesday, in order to register for tlic Savaaah municipal election, but some j>olieemen caused them to change tin it minds. .ttoucp Letters and telegrams are received almost daily saying “lake all you can get,” or “don’t touch it.” Iu our opin ion speculation is at tho bottom of all these, tho money is good, or it is worthless atul our advice to thoso who have any on hand, is to hold it, or get value received for it, oue hundred cents in tho dollar. Our position in this and a'l such money is know n, still it it is put in circulation wo warn tho holders there of not to listen to reports pro nnd eon, but to send it to Atlanta and draw greenbacks, or do as above sug gested. Coinmunitfitnl. of Da v. son. CUXTRAUIY, ACCESMIIIUTY, mEMiNT nc»- IX ESS STATES. The superficial area of the Amcricus Distiict must have a centre, exact or proximate it may bo. The District has a given breadth, a certain length. There may ho a center of superficial area and a center of population. These may or may not be identical. It nnglit be more just to consider tho claims oi tho latter, were it practicable. Per hapi it is more expedient to base our argument on tho claims of the former. Let a map of the District Lo drawn. Let each one of the three or four com petitois for tho school be marked as points on the diagram supposed. — Which place w ill approximate nearest to the center of tho given area ? Daw son unquestionably. 1 know of no facts or data or statistics of counties that will force us to conclude that tho centre of population is remote from the center of area. The presumption is they are approximately near. Let not tho school be located on either ex tremity. Let it not be hid in any cor ner. This would savor of somo influ ence—dominations —that is selfish.— Establish it in tho center, as the heart is in the center of the body, as tho sun is in the center ot tho solar system. —- Then no point, nor place, nor section need feel that its intrinsic claims have been depreciated. ACCT.9MIIII.ITY. llow stands the caso between the contending parties on this score? — What are the existing media of acces sibility and inter-conimunicntion ? They are tho railroads. Each of tho three points aro equal in respect to tho facilities of tho S. W. R. R. Cuth belt is nearer to the terminus of the Ft. Gains branch. Dawson is nearer to the termini both of tlio Columbus and Albany branches. Is Atneiicus nearer to the Columbus branch ? Yes. Dawson is neater to the lermi minus of the Ft. Gains branc h. Neith er of those points can claim preference. Thus, in the comparison in respect of accessibility, Dawson is equally acces sible with either of the other points. But Cutlibert has in construction a railroad from Bainbridge to Columbus. Americas bus in prospect a railroad from llawkinsviile to Eufanla. When these roads are completed, the access ibility of either of tho other points will be greater than that of Dawson. But let il bo assumed hero that every rail road commenced is not a road com pleted Our entiro country affords numerous examples of this defalcation. Every railroad completed is not a .suc cess iti perpetuity. A railroad does not always create a demand for trans portation. The construction of a rail road on public credit, on tho credit of a future generation is not necessarily consentaneous with tho increased pro duction of commodities, requiring iu creused facilities of transportation.— Dawson likewise has her roads in pros pect, has her future plans and policy in this behalf equally with Cutlibert or Americas. Dawson is not too near to Eufaula to experience, threatning ly and ruinously, competition in busi ness from so formidable a competitor. She has not llio humiliation of being fearfully in the struggle for existence in warm and constant antagonism with so dangerous a rival. She is equally removed on the other side from ruin ous competition with Macon and Al bany. I'ItKSLNT BUSINESS STATUS AND FBOSI'iCTS. OF DAWSON. The school should not ho located in a community whose existence or avlioso prosperity is threatened. This school aspires to be a fact and a success in perpetuity. Let it in its location be reared amid elements of vitality, not of dissolution. Let it draw its first breath and develop its energies and faculties for good amidst associations of prosperity, enterprise and social ac tivity. Dawson shows no signs of failure. First —in respect of population. It is more numerous than it has ever been. It is increasing. Numerous families are making arrangements to move to Dawson next winter. All our private houses are occupied.— Rents are high There is and will be demand for more private residences than we afford. We experienced a very destructive conflagration last winter. Did this crush our energy and enterprise ? At once, real estate advanced. Vacant lots were sold at a largo advance.— New, elegant, tasteful brick storo rooms liavo almost covered tho spaces mudo vacant by the conflagration. — Perhaps by January tho appearauco and tastefuluoss of Dawson will bo vastly improved and enhanced. 111 respect of mercantile importance, Dawson lias nothing to conceal. She is w illing for her condition and pros pects to be known. If necessary, wo can present a statistical table, a faith ful exhibit of Dawson’s mercantile im portance and stilt.is. The gross amount of cotton biought to Dawson for tho year ending August 1, 1871, was 13,000 bales, nearly all of which was bold in Dawson. Thero is, no prospect of our gross sales falling off. Our merchants have novel* been more sanguino and confident. They fool confident of retaining old customers. They liavo assurances of increasing their p. t onago to a larger area and to a higher figure than in former years. Capital is rapidly increasing in the business circles of onr town. Tin's will multiply her advantages in competi tion. Her facilities as a cotton mar ket aro surely and hugely increased Here we have three first rate Ware houses. Tho proprietors thereof aro warmly contesting half-way ground between Dawson and Cutlibert, Daw sou and Amcricus Dawson and Alba ny. Dawson will certainly liavo her share of tiie commodity in every di rection* With such internal resources, with such a business patronage, with sin li active and powerful combinations, with facilities increasing rapidly and resources multiplying so numerously, Dawson bocoiuos a point formidable to hor neighbors. Her statistics do not show a community disintegrating, dis solving, depopulating, but a commu nity growing, progressing, enriching. A CITIZES. To be concluded next week. Addition, Cotton Planters !

LOYLKS; & GRIFFIN. augSt ow,4>. A gents, Tax-Payehs Convention.-—' The pre sent and prospective financial condition of Georgia, is well calculated to excite anxiety and alarm. How far the State is already involved iu.debt no one can tell. To meet the wasteful, iniquitous and criminal expenditures of the present Radical administration, the people will be heavily taxed. With short crops and crippled industries they aro ill prepared to meet those onerous exactions. What is tho rem edy ? Wo liavo already suggested a Convention of the tax-payers —without regard to race or color, or party*—to consider calmly tho real financial con dition and material interest yf tho State; present it to the Legislature, and demamlare.'orm. It will have good clicct on that body, for the members will not dare to disregard the voice of tho people they represent. We have also suggested that this Convention meet in Macon in October next, dur ing the State Fair. Let every county bo represented. Delegates to the Stato Agricultural Convention might represent both interests, which indeed are one inseparable. Will onr cotem poraries urgo tho people to move in this matter ? It may check the extrav agant expenditures of tlie Government, save the State from bankruptcy, and tlie people from intolerable burdens. We say again, let tho sovereigns speak ! Greensboro Herald. On Wednesday two other parties, says the Sun, Isaac P. Harris, Treas urer of the State load under Foster Blodgett, and B, W. Wrcnn, tho Gen eral Passenger and Tiekett Agent under the sarao administration, and still holding that position under Gov ernor Brown, were arrested. Both Avero charged with larceny after trad ! They waived an examination, and each gave bond in tho sum of §IO,OOO. — John Harris, tho late Senator from Newton (father of tho accused), but now of this city, and President of tho Georgia National Bank, became tho bondsman of Isaac P. Harris, and E. L. Jones, Cashier of the same bank, signed tne bond with Mr. Wrenn.— Harris admits having a large sum of money and says ho- would have paid it over, Lnt did not know who could re ceive it. Wrenn says he has §<>,ooo, which ho also has been and is willing now to turn over. C. P. McCella, tho j General Book-keeper of tho State road, has paid over to the State Treasurer several thousand dollars of restitution money, which has lately come into his hands. Escape of Vallawdigham’s Client. —Dayton (Ohio) Journal of the 3d in stant, states that the fire-bells rang an alarm in that city the preceding mid . night, and it was found that seven pri soners had dug their way out of the 1 county jail, among others McGehan, in whose defense Vallandigham lost his life recently. They effected their escape by tearing up a portion of tho stone floor of one of tho cells in tho southeast corner of the prison, excava ting a tunnel into tho cellar under tho sheriff’s residence.

Charleston, Aug. 20.—Tho Medi cal Society of Charleston, in view of the prevalence of yellow fever here, held a meeting last evening, and after full investigation and discussion re solved to make official publication of the real facts of tho case as follows : That the yellow lover of a mild typo doos exist to a limited extent in Char leston ; that it is mainly confined to ouo neighborhood ; that tho first caso dated from July 27th, and tho diseaso lias prevailed during tho month that lias elapsed. Since then there have been, perhaps, in all, up to this time, thirty-five cases, nino of which have proved fatal, but that the disease duos not seem of a character disposed to spread rapidly or widely. It is ad ded, that difference of opinion exist in the profession as to the spread of tho disease. Tho,Board of Health an nounced this morning that tho num ber of cases reported since tho 23d in stant indicate that the disease is as suming an epidemic form. Later advices show a decrease in the ravages of this disease, and local cause introduced it. The Great Stoiim. —The late storm, it appears prevailed with unoqualed violence along the entire Southern At lantic coast. Wo givo, elsewhere a brief notice of its effects at Savannah. At Jacksonville, Fla., tho disasters were equally as extensive. A great part of tlie town was flooded. Shade trees innumerable and several valuable buildings were prostrated, and others were unroofed. The steamers left their wharves to avoid destruction. — The town was cut off from the outside world by every avenue. Tho damage to buildings, goods and shipping was believed to lie very great. The storm reached Charleston Fri day afternoon from the southeast, and during the day it changed to tlie north east and began to blow and rain with great violence. Tho gale, with slight variations, remained at that point un til midnight on Saturday, Business was stopped, stroots and cellars wore flooded, and several of tho streets were washed into gullies. Trees were blown down or snapped off. Forewarned by tho weather reports in tho city papers, tlie shipping made tho best prepara tions for safety.— Exchange. Cieueral New'.
