4 New City Hall.

1t is a fact nolonger to be doub-
ted that Dawson is to have hand
some new city hall. On last Tues
day morRing Capt. Hart took
the writer to one side with the re-
mark, ''let me show you what Tn
doing in the way Of Improvements"
"All right, Captain" - responded
the scribe, and in little while we
were going through a large, hand
some new structure 34x75 feet,
which Capt. Hart is now having
erected for his new carriage repos-
tory. This building viii be two
stories high and covers an area of
more than 270 square feet. more
than any church in town. The
workmen are now busily engaged
upon the building and in few
weeks it viii be completed and
ready for occupancy. Capt Hart
then showed US up stairs into his
old repository which he proposes
to convert into a new city hall.
He will have it ceiled, plqstered
and frescoed after the latest style,
and when completed it viii be one
of the rrettiest halls in Georgia.
Capt. Hart is evincing great enter
prise in this movement and we
hope he will make a big success of
it financially as well as otherwise.

TerrelI,s Prosperity.

Through the kindness Of oul
very worthy and efficient Tax Re-
ceiyer, Mr. w. r. Baldwin, assist.
ed by his Honor, Judge Ell. S. Bell
we were permitted one day recent
ly to make examination of our
county's financial condition. Going
back as far as 1878, we found that
the aggregate value of taxable
property returned that year in the
county was 81 ,046,378. In 1879 il
was $l,l40, 181, showing an increase
over the preceding year of S97,-
81, In 1880 the aggregate value
OF taxable property returned, was
81, 275,052, an increase.of 1874, ST..
In 1881, it was 81, ,354, show
ing an increase Of 9ll6,302. In
1892, it was 81, 458,058, an increase
Of 8G6,704. In 1883, 81, $50, AGO.
an increase Of 1922, 402. 1t 1884
the present year, the aggregate
value Of taxable property returned
in the county is VI, 644,159, show
ing an increase over last year of
S63,699. This is q very creditable
showing, yet we are informed by
Mr.. Baldwin that a Board Of AS
SCISSORS is absolutely indispensa-
bic in the county in order TO exact
justice to all of the tax payers.
Many men return their property
strictly in accordance with its
proper valuation, but there are
very many who do not,
and tue result is the
burden Of taxation does not fall
equally upon all alike. Mr.. Bald
win thinks that the difference in
favor of the county by having
such Board of Assessors would
amount to a half million Of dollars
the first year. 1t will be remem-
bered that such bill was intro
duced in the last legislature, but
for some reason OF other never
became law. 1t is highly pro-
bable, however, that the next leg
lslature will do something towards
establishing such a Board through
out the state.
Examining a little further, we
found the number of polls in the
county to be 81, 905, Of which mum
Der 800 are whites and 1905 are
negroes. It is estimated that
there are at least 100 persons in
the county who are over 50 years
of age, and, therefore, not liable to
poll tax, yet, who have the right
to vote. This would make the
number Of voters in Terrell some
thing over 2,0G0. OF the 1905
polls returned in the county 528
belong to the town district. This
it would seem, on all political
questions, would entitle the town
district to nearly one-third as many
representatives as all the other
district put together For the
benefit of our readers we append
below a tabulated statement OF the
number of polls in each district:

DEATHS.

Our county has lost one Of its
best citizens in the death of Rev.
John NJ. Potter, who died near
Spring Vale, in Randolph county,
a few days ago. He was actively
engaged in his work of the minis
try at the time Of his death, and
no one more than he was better
fitted for ministerial duties. His
zeal in his sacred Office gave beau
ty to his life work aud his i'm
press for good was great upon his
surroundings. His Presiding Ell
der paid the tribute of an acknowl-
edgement Of his worth to the
church at the time of his death
He died when his manhood was at
its maturity-a manhood full of
good works. Truly the sympa-

This young man had just gradual

The Spirit of True Journalism

There are those who believe
that the highest end Of a newspa-
per is to make war upon its neigh
bors and it's neighbor's rights. Not
SO with the Journal. We believe
that one Of the grandest ends Of a
newspaper is to promote harmony
and discourage strife, and upon
this platform of principles have
we constantly and earnestly en-
daavored to guide our little craft.
Many a time, during the past
three years, have we suppressed
communications from correspon-
dents that, if published, would
have set the town and community
in such an uproar Of excitement
and strife as would have taken
months and years to heal. The
columns of a newspaper is no
place to settle personal difficulties
nor crafty the ambitions of per-
sonal spleen, and so long as the
journal continues to remain under
its present management its col
umns shall never be used for any
such base purposes. That men
should disagree upon questions
involving public interests, is natur-
al and reasonable, but be too much
Of the man to desire to unload
your spleen upon the public
through the columns OF news
paper.

TcrFell and the Indian War of
1896.

Terrell county has quite an in
teresting history connected with
the Indian war of 1886. Some
seven miles from here, near the
residence of the late Mr.. Horsley,
a bloody battle with the Indians
was fought, and near the present
site of Graves Station a retreatinp
party of Indians were almost sur
rounded, and some of them were
killed. Near where Chickasaw-
hatchee now stands a house was
burnt by the same Indians on
their retreat, who were rapidly
making their way to Florida to
effect junction with the Semi
holes. Traces Of the earth-works,
thrown up by Gen. Andrew Jack
son on his way to Florida in 1918,
are still shown near the village Of
Chickasawhatchee.
