THERE ought TO be a big cotton
factory in Dawson.
DAWSON will not be a laggard !
The city moves on in spite of panics
and whatnots.
THE Albany News and Advertiser
refers to Dawson as local station.
What is Albany, then?
WILL Dawson walk up handsomely
and secure for this city the extension
Of the Columbus Southern railroad
1t can be done.
Roswell P, FLOWER has been
nominated, in New York, for gov
ernor by the democrats. 1t promises
to take good deal OF nurturing for
him to bloom into office.
THERE seems to be no stability to
the cotton market. 1t is first up and
then down; but farmers are getting
little better prices than they antici-
pated at the opening of the season.
THE Atlanta folks had big demo>
cratic rally Tuesday night, at which
Congressman Crisp and Livingston,
Governor Northen and others spoke.
All the speakers stood squarely on
the democratic platform.
The Legislature wants to create a
pew holiday on the first Monday in
September, to be known as labor day.
The name seems to be a misnomer.
The trouble with this country now is
that some people have too much holi>
day.
THE Atlanta Herald says that Sem
ator Colquitt is about to issue letter
to the state press, In which he will
give his views in full on the political
questions of the day. When did this
ancient ofice>holder come into possess
sion of any views, and where did he
get them?
EX-SENATOR Tom NORWOOD, by
invitation, will address the Georgia
Legislature in few days. There is
not brighter mind nor a longer~
headed statesman in Georgia than
Tom Norwood. and he will say someN
thing worth hearing and remembers
ing.
THE ninety-four who voted against
the acceptance by the state of the At
lanta soldiers poorhouse have pre-
pared formal apology, which will be
issued to the public in few days.
Their action needs no apology, and it
will show lack of manhood in send
ing forth ely such document. The
consciousness of having done right
needs no apology.
WHEN the bill to tax dogs came up
the wits OF the House fred their keen
sabre at it AID laughed in resonant
tones, 1t Is astonishing how funny a
man can be when he is drawing 81 a
daY from the state. Such wit as
they emit, however, wouldn't bring
Eve cents q column, solid nonpareil,
10 any respectable newspaper office.
CoRRUPT literature is doing more
today for disruption of domestic life
than any other cause. Elopements,
marital intrigues, sly correspondence,
fictitious names given at post office
windows, clandestine meetings at
parks and at ferry gates, and in hotel
parlors, and conjugal pepuries are
among the damnable results. When
a woman, young or old, gets her head
thoroughly stuffed with modern nov
els she is in an appalling peril.
M0ST roe THE MARK
The bill to place sleeping car lines
and express and telegraph companies
under the control OF the state rail-
road commission passed the Senate
last Thursday by vote o. % TO Is.
1t was amended in the Senate, how.
ever, by striking out that clause
which refers to sleeping car lines,
though it is dou ~ttul if the House will
concur in the amendment, and the
bill will probably pass in its original
shape.
