DaWson's Eutnre.


The future of Dawson presents
many interesting aud prophetic
speculations. Dawson is ON the
highway TO greatness, glory and
grandeur, and if there be am
who wish to deny this proposition,
To- their conviction many ocular
demonstrations stand out to view
IN every direction. From every
point of observation we see most in
eontestablt evidence of great vital.
lty among The citizens OF the town.
Old and dilapitated buildings are
being removed to give place to
rev al ID elegant ones, and many
lots that have never been improved
are being ornamepted with stately
8nd commadius mansions. In fact,
a klnd of building mania seems to
have seized upon the entire popu-
lation OF the town, and the coma.
gion is reaching far into the coun-
try in all directions. With all
these demonstrated facts spread
oIt t. th3 eyes Of the world, and
appearing clear as the sun at meri-
diam height, who will have the
har1ihood TO galnsay the PROPOSE,
ton that Dawson is on the high
road to rapid growth and great
ness?
Ard it must be borne constants
ly in mind that all these things,
and much untold, have come to
pass more in anticipation of other
railroad advantages than what
we now enjoy, and all these have
been done in the green .ree,
what will be the result of the dry?
Many important enterprises are
at this time in contemplation, and
only awaiting the completion of
the Columbus Southern to mark
their existence.

Giye Us Better Public Roads.

Tine recent road congress held
in Atlanta appointed a committee
to present a memorial to the Geor-
gia Legislature aud to petition for
a change in the road laws of the
state. This committee has present.
cd its memorial. After calling
attention to the deplorQble con.
dition Of the public roads of the
state and tie inefficiercy of
our present roal laws, the COM
mitteo offers the following recon-
mcn]a ons:
"The committee respectfully
recommends that as far as practi-
cable the misdemanor convicts be
worked upon the public roads Of
the state upon such terms as will
enable each county to secure the
proceeds Of its own convict labor.
1--WE further recommend that au
act be passed which shall provide
for a superb tenleut Of roads for
each county in the state, whose du-
ty it shall be to lay off the public
roads in sections and rs the road
authorities in each county may de-
termlne, either let them out by
contract or employ overseers,
under whomthe roads shall be work.
ed;provide for stringentrules tocom-
pei the road workers to perform
the labor assessed upon them or pay
Its equivalent in money, provide
for Il tax upon property as addi-
tlonal means for furnishing road
tools, grading ard aiding labor in
keeping the public roads in order,
leaving the road authorities of
each county to determine the
amount and character of work to
be done within it.
owe recommend that as soon as
consistent with the good faith of the
state thai the penitentiary convicts
be put upon the public roads
We consider the suggestions of
the committee good and timely.
The News has for a long
time advocated putting convicts to
work on the public roads. We
ought to have a better system o.
road laws. This question has been
very generally discussed all over
the state during the past six
months, and the people are unani,
mously 10 favor Of better roads laws
and better public roads.
