Ceived at Republican Headquarters.
Chairman Babcock of the republican con-
gressional committee today received a tele-
gram from John Grant, chairman Of the
Texas state republican committee, as fol-
lows:
George H. Noonan, republican, has posi-
lively been elected TO Congress from the
twelfth district by 1900 majority
This is district which in 1892 gave
1880 democratic votes. 1890 republican and
6,574 populst.
A telegram was received from Mr.. Settle
in North Carolina last night as follows:
Fight about over, democrats surrendered
this evening. Number of canvassing boards
still in session, but not enough to change
the result should ell decide against u.s.
Counted us out in four or five counties We
still have clear working majority in both

increasing the Senate Majority.
THE Senators whose terms expire In
1896" said Chairman Babcock to a Star
reporter today, ARE for the greater part
republicans who were elected on the boom
that elected President HARRISON in 1855
All that we hoped to do was to maintain
cur own in the legislatures which would
elect their successors. We have done that
of course, and more. Those Senators whose
terms expire in 1897 are mostly democrats
who were elected in the democratic land
slide of 1890. They are Messrs. Brice, Hill,
Kyle, Palmer, PETER, Villas and Voorhees,
Their successors will surely be republican,
because those states now republican
and their legislatures will reapportion the
states. In 1899 other democrats will so out,
those who were elected by the democratic
victory of 1892, and we will elect republi-
cans to succeed them. So that, starting in
the next Congress with a fair working
majority, we will increase it year by year.

proven by every report of the post office
inspectors after their regular official visits
to the local office.
Little Patronage to BestOw.

The New York Herald publishes the fol-
lowing from it's correspondent:
SHANGHAI, November ., 1S4-The
stampede of the Chinese throughout Man
churia continues. Since the advance of
Gen. Nodsu's force to Feng- -ChenS

Japanese troops have searched in vain for
an organized body of the enemy.
The japanese are now marching westward
and southwark unopposed. They are every

tire population.
In the province Of Chilli there will be no
stand made by the Chinese against the
japanese until Pekin is reached. which Col.
Hanneken is fortifying with all haste.
At meeting of the grand council yester-
day. it was determined that the court and
the personnel of the government shall leave
the capital before 1t falls into the hands of
the japanese.

to Port Arthur to watch operations there,
instead Of following the command Of the
emperor to proceed to Pekin.

THEY May SEVER.
SOUTHWESTERN MAY WITHDRAW
FROM THE CENTRAL

And Be Operated IS an Independent Line.
stockholdersto Meet Friday--Daw-
SON Interested.
Dawson holders of Southwestern rail-
road stock are very much interested in
the adjourned meeting of stockholders
which will be held in Macon on Friday
next, 18th inst. 1t will probably be de-
termined az this meeting whether or not
the southwestern will withdraw from
the Central.
Many Southwestern stockholders, it is
said, are of the opinion that by this time
some plan should have been devised by
the Central looking to reorganization,
but as this has not been done the meet
ing has been called to take some decided
action.
Will the Southwestern withdraw and
become an independent line, or will it
remain with the Central system? This
question is interesting stockholders in
Dawson as well as elsewhere.
Some time ago large meeting OF
stockholders was held in Macon at which
resolution was adopted to the effect
that if the Central did not reOrganize
within reasonable time, or if the plan
of reorganization is not considered by
the stockholders of the Southwestern as
conducive to their best interests, they
can. under the resolution, withdraw
from the Central at any time and run the
road Independently.
The Central is now operating the
Southwestern as feeder, and in this ca
paeity is doing fine business.
Right now it cannot be said just what
will be determined upon at the meeting
Friday, but it is believed that any move
ment looking to the withdrawal from the
Central system will meet with vigorous
resistance Powever, many stOckhold-
ers favor a severance and the operation
of the Southwestern upon an independ-
ent basis.
The result of the meeting will be
awaited with interest throughout the
state, and particularly in Dawson, where
| large blocks of the stock are held.
! Stockholders will be passed free in
going to and returning from the meet
ing.

The atmosphere around Parrot is as
healthy as can be found anywhere, and
many of our people live to a ripe old
age.
Uncle Jimmie Virgins, who lives
within three miles of this place, is "a
years of age, and works regularly in his
field. He was brave confederate sol
der. and now is one of our best citizens.

Miss Ellen McCook is very sick at her
home near this place. She is daugh-
ter of Rev. Hamilton McCook, who, in
his life, was a member of the Florida
conference. She and her widowed
mother have the sympathies of all our
people. They are not rich in this
worlds goods, but are rich in d quiet
submission to this affective dispensation
of their Heavenly Father.
Mr.. A. j. Lee, who is one of our best
farmers, planted his first cotton seed on
last Monday. Mr.. Lees judgment as
to the time seed should be planted has
never yet failed him, and he has always
made good crops. The black birds did
! his corn crop more injury than did the
7 recent freeze.
Near Parrot is spot where Skin
mish with the Indians took place in 1886.
The trunk of the tree is still standing
against which wounded Indian leaned
his gun, and at the foot of which he
died. The place is a lonely oae in the

course of travel.
Dr. J. II. Williford has horse he has
used in his practice that he has not tax

| tie means in its management. and it
travels on the road without any trouble
whatever. 1t is one of the most valu
able horses in Terrell county.
Main street is being extended in an
easterly direction, which will facilitate

penses. And when the taxes are coll
lected in the fall the town has to pay
that loan with interest.
We hold. as we did while connected
with the town government, that the
rate Of taxation Is not high enough.
IF the rate were raised little no one
would feel it perceptlbly and there
would be money enough in the town
treasury to put in large tiling here and
there that would remain, instead Of box
ing bitches to have them fill up with
rotten boxing and the like.
The town treasury stands about as
follows in round numbers Total re-
celpt4 for taxes 81 600 Nearly one
third OF this is paid to the town con
stable as salary, another third foI
lighting lamps, which leaves only one
third TO be devoted to the streets and
bitches together with what is paid II
By those who do not work the street;
when summoned to do 50.
Now. if this amount Of money is not
sufficient to keep the town in good con
dijion. then we say raise the rate Of tax
alton. and we hope the commission
ers will look into this matter at once
To be sure, it may not be popular with
everybody, but the commissioners are
not elected to court popularity. They
are elected to serve the town as best
they may see themselves able.
