John M. Slaton, Acting
Gov. M«lV Enter
•y Contest
From undisputed sources
VtcU have come to light this Tues¬
day that will be of wide interest in
Georgia politics.
It ia understood to bo a settled
thing that Hon. John M. S'aton,
•president of the senate and acting
governor, will bo a candidate to
succeed Gov. Joseph M. Brown
as Georgia's chief executive.
Equally certain, and coming as
the logically corallary of the a x> vt,
is the fact that Governor Brown
• will not be a candidate to succeed
himself, but, in keeping with the
third term tradition, will retire
upon bis laurels.
Governor Slaton has authorized
no definite 'announcement at this
time, and his formal announce*
ment is hot looked for until the
spring, as the primary does not
•orae unt|l August, but among his
friends it is regarded as a certain*
ty that he will run.
The assurance of this fact, corn-
' craf" it does from authOi'kntive
couM . will set at naught political
the suwhich have been current
junctidt two weeks, to the effect
departvernor Slaton comempUt-
trat posing United States Senator
tiu.ra, and that in such, even,
'lo'i. John N. Holder, speaker of
1 he Georgia house, would lie
a
yndidate for goveru^t. Governor So far ns
trfbe learned, Slaton

senator Bacon, nor will ho
iai it.,
defriujtner or not, however, this
will decisively affect Mr. Holder’s
talkod-oi candidacy, is net known
in Atlanta. Many friends are urg¬
ing him to enter the gubernatorial
fields, and at the same time lie is
.supposed to have congressional
aginations Among other talKed-of guber
natorial csndidtltes among Gover-
lit Brown’s frimds are Hon. Joe
Pali, of Macon, who has
announced detii.itely that he will
run, and Hon. |ohn S. West, of
Valdosta, former president of the
state senate, lbtb these gentle¬

P. R. Morrison & Co.
Have Attractive Place
P. R. Mornson and Company
have just finished remodelling the
interior of their tailoring shop and
pressing dub on south Main street,
and are starting off the new year
with one of the most attractive
places of business in the city. The
reception room and business office
have been equipped throughout
with mission furnisnings and fix¬
tures, and the arrangement is up-
to date and inviting.
Blue Ribbon Rooster
Now a Hen
Mr. J. R. Webb, one of the
most enthusiastic of Dawson’s
chicken enthusiasts and the owner
of prize winning fowls, has among
tne number a “bird” that is in a
class all to itself and has a record
that will distinguish it and amaze
the distinguished experts who re¬
cently decorated it with gay rib
bons.
This particular fowl was exhib¬
ited at the recent county fair by
Mr. Webb as an especially line
white Orpington cockerel, and in
its stately beauty was admired by
the thousands of visitors and also
by the experts who were engaged
by the management to judge the
po- itry and award the prizes. So
much were the latter impressed
with the good points of the young
fowl that the blue ribbon was
pinned on the coop and Mr. Webb,
proud of the possession of a prize
minmng cockerel, took his auto¬
cratic joung rooster back home
and, with admiration, daily
watched him grow and gradually
develop into as fine and handsome
a hen as ever laid an egg and
cackled a cackle.
And thus is told the story of
the degeneration of a prize win¬
ning rooster into a hen that is busy
daily supplying eggs to her own¬
er. No other rooster with such
honors, so far as chicken history
relates, has such a record, or has
done a tiling like that,—Dawson
News.

“Well,” said Uncle Cornpatcb,
“I have always said that the time
spent workin’ the roads was just
about teetotally wasted, but I'm
not so sure of it now. I came down
the Elm Crick road this mornin’
and the bovs was havin' a great
time. They’d made a raid on Old
Man Riggins’ melon patch, and
Bill Jones was tollin’ what he’d
seen in the West, and Pete Hen¬
ry truin’ hard to tell a bigger one
every time Bill got through, and
it was a fine entertainin’ affair
Yes, when folks can get so much
sociability out of workin’ the
roads, I don’t see why they
shouldn’t keep at it. Besides they
wan’t doin’ the road much damage,
a n y w a y.” — The Progressive
Farmer.
Confederate Plans
Shaft to Sherman
Dalton, Ga., Jan. 2. — A Con¬
federate veteran, Mr. G. W. Ham¬
ilton, president of the Crown Cot¬
ton mills, has stated that he will
head a fund for the erection of a
monument here to General W. T.
Sherman, with a subscription of
$100, the offer, coming trom a
veteran of the southern arniy, go¬
ing to show the swiftly disappear¬
ing sectional prejudice.
Mr. Hamilton would like to see
the monument face the one to be
erected here to Genefal'J. E.
Johnston."' .
His proposition has met with
considerable favor locally, and
steps may be taken to raise a fund
for the monument.
Congressional Candidate E. R.
Shaw was in Dawson Thursday
wearing the smile that wont come
off. He called at The News office
and left word with us that there
is no longer any doubt about it—
that twelve months from now he
will be in Washington saving the
country and sending us packages of
seed a foot long.—Dawson
News.
Deeds, Not Words
Fitzgerald People Have Absolute Proof
of Heeds at Home
It’s not words but deeds that
prove true merit.
The deeds of Doan’s Kidney
Pills.
For Fitzgerald kidney sufferers,
Have made their local reputa-
tion.
Proof lies in the testimony of
Fitzgerald people who have been
cured to stay cured.
Mrs. J. P. Snyder, 604 W.
Altamalia St., Fitzgerald, Ga.,
-ays: “We have used Doan’s Kid¬
ney Pills in our family and they
have given entire satisfaction. I
took them for backache and kidney
weakness which had caused me a
great deal of suffering and they
corrected my trouble. Another
member of ivy family also used
this remedy for backache and was
given relief.” (Statement given
April 16, 1908.)
a second endorsement.
When Mrs. Snyder was inter¬
viewed on April 27,1911, she skid;
“l still think hignlv of Doan’s
Kidney Pills. You may continue
to use my former endorsement of
this remedy, as it was correct .in
every particular.” fl H
