On last Monday morning an alarm Of
fire was turned in from box No. 22--turn-
ed well-by Willie Schermer, who stood
by the box after giving the alarm until
the fire engine came along, telling the
engineer and driver where the fire was
without having any halt. The fire
proved to be OF no serious character. It
was at the residence OF Mr.. Thos. North,
on North street, the roof, which is an
old shingle one, having caught fire from
spark. 1t was quickly extinguished
without the aid OF the engine, but the
efficiency Of the fire alarm plant was
further vindicated.

Lets Have the Tournament.

The fire boys met last night to
discuss the plausibility of a tour
nament this spring. We went to
press too early to report proceed
ings, but are inclined to think
that we will have the tournament.
We should have one by all
means. 1t cannot fail to draw as
large crowd as before, and by a
little effort we could have even a
lcrger crowd.
Besides being a source of profit
to all classes of our business men,
another tournament would he big
advertisement for our town. Daw~
son is enjoying a tremendous build,
ing boom just nov and nothing
would impress our visitors more
favorably thal the improvements
and changes made in our city in
the past twelve months. Every
visitor would be an advertisement
for the town, and now is the best
time to advertise it. Business men,
if our firemen do have the tournas
ment, lend them helping hand
and contribute literally to the en-
terprise, for you viii, beyond doubt,
reap benefits.
1t would cost the city onlya few
hundred dollsrs and would bring
a few Thousand instead.
D&wson's reputation for hospi-
taIity, to say nothing OF that ire
nowned track" will insure US an
overwhelming crowd.

are not built that way-they know
when they get enough OF anything.
They are very grateful (?) to the
Dawson company for their treats
ment while in that town last year,
but they won't go down any more.
--Amerlcus Recorder.
The above from the Recorder is
a fair sample Of the slush that usu>
ally comes from that inflated me-
tropoIis (?) of Southwest Georgia.
"Wide-Awakes," it will be res
membcred, is the name of an Amer
icus fire company who tried to Iun
our tournament last spring to suit
themselves, but meeting with de.
cided veto from our foreman, cot
mifled and wanted to pull out.
It will also be remembered as the
company from which so much was
expected aud who acco nplished so
little. Also as the company who
came over for no other purpose
than to meet Eufaula on neutral
grounds and who found the COM
pany from that town too much for
them, and at once proceeded to
kick" This Americas company
is also the one which disgusted
everybody with their remarks about
the time-keepers, ard whose vanity
was SO completely nipped in the
bud that they haven't yet recov>
cred.
Their refusal to come will not in
the least discourage our boys in
arranging for the tournament, and
the tournament will be a success
without the vainglorious Wide
Awakes.

Thursday morning about fou,
O'Clock the bridge over Tobesofkel
creek, about six miles this side OF
Macon, on the Southwestern rail.
road, was burned down.
1t is supposed that it caught
from spark of a coal burning
engine that was pulling a train
that morning.
The Waterman had gone to the
lower bridge about three quarters
of a mile distant, and on returning
to the upper bringe he saw it on
hire Ia the top. He ran rapidly to
the bridge, but could not out the
tire, as the flames had made too
great Roadway. and the structure
was burned down.
The bridge was about one hun
dred feet long and substantially
built.
Passenger trains made transfers
at. the creek ON a fiat until Mon
day, when the bridge was rebuilt
and regular schedules resumed.
AN HEROIC MAN.
The Waterman at the bridge is
an heroic man indeed. He was on
the other side of the creek, the
bridge was down, and a freight
train was heard rumbling in the
distance coming from Macon, and
unless warning was given would
soon plunge headIong in the creek,
to death aud destruction.
The heroic bridge watchman APP
pretended the danger.
He plunged into the creek, swan
across, rushed down the track and
gave the signal of distress. saved
the train with its engineer, and
other human freight.
Five minutes later there would
lave been terrible catastrophe.
He then had to swim the creek
again end give warning to another
freight train that was co;ning from
Columbus.
Thus the heroic man saved two
trains and several lives.

should be appreciated by our citi,
zens, and he should meet With
prompt and substantial encourage
ment in his endeavor to help
Dawson erect that long talked of
and much needed compress.
With the Columbus Southern
giving US competing freight rates,
and with compress that would
greatly lessen these rates, Dawson
could hold her own against any
cotton market in the state.
Shall we have it or not? That
is the question that We must decide
at once and without a single days
delay. If we do not act at once
We may expect to continue to see
cotton pass every year through our
streets to Albany, simply because
we do not possess a few of her adj
vantages.
Now is the time for us to secure
these advantages and keep this cot
ton at home. We do not believe
our citizens will fail to grasp the
opportunity that now presents its
self for compress.

THE BONDS WILL SELL.
A Dawson capitalist who is in a

build a new court house would sell
for 1O7. He suggests that our
county issue bonds to the amount
Of $4,000 for this purpose, one
thousand to mature each year until
the debt is paid. The suggestion
is a good one. Terrell county can
easily afford to build new court
house and scarcely feel the expense.
SAFE BURGLARY AT l.EEsBURG.
On last Friday morning the iron
safe in the railroad depot at Lees
burg was found with the brass
tumbler bored out, and the broken
drill, with which the work was
done, in the hole. The cracksmen
were evidently frightened away,
or were amateurs at the business.
Mr.. Ware, the agent, thinks they
were somehow locked in when the
depot was closed, as the doors were
all intact that lead to the office.
There is no clue to the burglars.
A SNAKE FOR A DOLL.
In Richland Mrs. Majors little
boy, about two years old, has very
large cat that he plays horse with.
They found the other day, near the
house, snake over three feet long.
The cat tried to kill the snake, but
the little boy took it away from the
cat and carried it in his arms to his
mother, telling her he had found a
doll. His mother was so excited
She could do nothing but scream,
which scared the child and caused
it to drop the snake and 90 to his
mother. The snake was allied and
found to be what is called coach
whip. The little fellow did ROT
want to give up his doll, but his
mother promised him another and
he was satisfied.

we know that whoever is the successful
competitor Anderson County will be
well represented. The present represen.
tatiye fro1a the County has taken her
Diploma, and is again ready to enter on
the work oil the profession, and we hope
to see some other one step into her place.
-Itis a matter Of pride that the State han
performed this act Of tardy justice-t to the
girls of the State in establishing the
Winthrop School, and it is to be hoped
that she will extend her bounty yet
further in increasing the number Of
scholarships. The State University and
the Citadel, both for boys exclusively,
have fed for years and are still feeding
on her bounty to the tune Of thousands
Of dollars snnually 7. and why should not
the girls of the State receive at least an
equal share with the boys?
