our PENS ON BURDENS.

The Georgia legislature has reduced
the pensions paid the widows of confed-
crate veterans from one hundred dollars
to sixty dollars per annum, and all OF
those owning property amounting to SIX
teen hundred d liars and over are not
entitled to draw any amount.
This was thought by some Of the legal
lights of that body to be unconst'tuUon-
al, but it passed by a good majority,
anyhow. TIE NEWS thinks the legisla-
ture acted wisely in allowing only the
needy widows pensions, and if the state
is not able to pay the needy ones one
hundred dollars every year it was right
to reduce the amount.
Now, in justice to all concerned, if
those widows who own property over
and above the homestead are to be de-
prived Of pensions would itnot be right TO
treat all alike and pension only those old
soldiers who are in needy circumstances?
TIE NEWS believes in just pension
eto 81 confederate soldiers and confed-
erat soldiers widows, and does not
wlsa to be misunderstood in this matter,
but in Justice to the poor tax payers OF
the state We are very decided in the
opinion that only those who need tinan-
cial aid should receive it-that the toll
ing masses should not be taxed in order
that the state might pension those who

now TO MAKE TiMES EASY

One of the best ways in the word to
make money more plentiful and times
easier is for each and every one of us to
spend our money with home people
never send loft for single thing that we
can get at home.
If the price sho"ld be few cents
higher it would still be cheaper to trade
at home, for 10y doing SO the money re-
mains among us and each one gets to
handle it ottener. But prices are not
higher in Dawson than elsewhere. Our
merchants sell as cheap as the retail mer-
chants of any other city do, so you can
save nothing 10y sending off, even on the
score Of prices.
When farmer brings in syrup, tdr-
nips. potatoes, butter, chickens, eggs, and
other things produced on his farm, the
town people ought to buy them and pay
him lust as mucn for them as the same
things would cost t, lay them down here
from some other place. Not single thing
should ever be shipped to Dawson that
our farmers can raise at home
No farmer should ever be made to
haul back home anything that he has
drought to town to sell
Everything that we need to eat can be
raised right here in Terrell county, and
when our home farmers are made to
feel that we will give their products she
preference, and that they can sell every
thirg they bring to town, it will encour-
age them to produce everything we
need to eat.
1t is just AS important for the mer-
chants to observe this rule of buying ev-
erything they can at shome as it is for
the farmers and other consumers to buy
at home; the rule works both ways.
BY giving the farmer good price for
his products ii encourages him and the
money soon comes back to the merchant;
a I'd SO it keeps going around from one to
another, making little money go long
ways and causing all TO get along better.
Every industry started up in our city
or county ought TO be patronized and en-
couraged.
1t is the amounts we send off to buy
the products OF Others, and which never
come back again, that make money so
scalce and time, 50 dun and hard.

THE SHO0TiN5 SLABS.

Many readers of TIE News, and eS-
Epecially onr ,olorsd friends, have been
somewhat excited by the meteoric dis
play, or the showers OF shooting stars,
that have been ljghJtng the heavens the
past week.
But there Is NJ cause for this alarm.
1t is merely one OF natures mysterious
displays that every one may enjoy with
out apprehension Of danger. There is
really more cause for alarm when me-
teor, such as was seen on the night of
ihe 8th, shoots across the sky like a
racket: for these probably
one in million--reach the earth before
they are consumed; and since the mass
.<hat falls varies in weight from an ounce
to several tons, damage is some times
done. But these so-called shooting stars

are not constructed on that plan. They
are simply masses of.substance, whirling
like lightning, and by millions, through
space. and when they come in contact
with our atmosphere their velocity ig-
mites them and they 90 out in smoke, or
pass in through the atmosphere int"
space, where they cool off for another
trip. Probably 1O,OOO,O0 Of them pass
into our atmosphere every twenty-t"ur
hour and if they have ever done any
damage it was in the chaotic age and be-
fore history began. These meteors are
evidently related in some way TO the, ap-
preaching or recedipg comet.

our COLLECTION LAWS.

The NEWS agrees with the Fort Valley
Leader when it says that the collection
laws of Georgia are very bad and should
be amended as rapidly as possible.
AS our laws now stand, it is hard
matter for any one to collects debt wit :
out going to great trouble and expense.
This should not be. While the debtor
has a right to be protected from suits
which have no foundation, the creditor
should be protected by the law so he can
recover money advanced, or goods sold,
without being obliged to incur heavy eX-
penses in so doing.
Many thousands of dollars-we might
say millions-would be invested in the
state, THINKS the Leader, if our collection
laws were improved so that they would
Guard the men who loan money, or those
who invest in lands companies or manu-
factories. And until our legislators revise
our collection laws money will be hard
to oct even on the best of security.

make men pay their honest obligations

never before known, and all business in

to-day. The readiness with which our
patrons entrusted the children, for the
day, to the guardianship Of the teach
crs, and the unanimity with which the
parents permitted the children to APP
pear in line, afford evidence unmis-
taxable that 90 per cent. at least Of
our patrons endorse. practically the
clause Of our school law, which re-
quests parents "not to interfere in the
disciplinary concerns Of the school. =
Had the children been left to their own
inclinations, our review would have
been, at best, but a partial success.
The discipline Of the school-roorn, free
from parental interference, as for all
prae al purpo es it was, alone
brought the children into line. None
now regret having been in the Re-
view; on the contrary, every child who
participated in it is proud Of having
done SO.
Parental Interference is always in
judicions, it is detrimental to the pro-
gress of school and what is still
worse, it sows in the hearts of the
child the seeds Of rebellion.
Parents, uphold the teachers in
every laudable effort to secure order
and decorum in the school-room; sus-
tain them in every exercise designed
to promote the cause of education in
our city.
Omitted we stand, divided we fall. =
With your support We cannot fail;
without it we cannot succeed.

HEAVY TRAVEL OVER THE7B. & o.
For the past five days the eastbound
express trains have been crowded with
passengers, many Of them no doubt,
having been attending the exercises
of the Columbian celebration at Chi
cago.
The westbound trains have also been
packed with a heterogeneous lot Of
people, but not emigrants. What they
intend to do in the West is mystery.
as it is said that every avocation in
life west Of the Ohio river is more than
doubly filed
The railroad companies do not care,
however, and they will take the great
tide Of humanity to whatever point
they desire to go, providing the fare is
paid. Thus it will ever be some are
going east and others are going west,
and frequently the change is for the
better all around.
