HE scream of the American eagle
sounded over the waters of the bay of
Rio de Janeiro on Monday of last week.
American merchantmen had been fred
upon by the insurgent feet to prevent
them from landing their cargoes. Ad-
miral Benham, commanding the Amer
lean squadron in those waters, notified
the insurgent admiral that the Ameri-
can vessels would be protected by his
fleet, and that they would be permitted
to land their cargoes. Three American
ships gave notice that they were going
to certain pier to unload, and were
told by Admiral da Cana that he
would fire on them if they attempted
to carry out their purpose. Admiral
Benham told the captains to take their

A NEW JAIL NEEDED.

There should be no hesitation about
building a new Jail, as was recommended
by the last grand jury.
If any citizen of the county is doubt
full about the matter, he should visit the
iail and see just what sort of a'place 1t
is. If such an experience would not
convince any intelligent man that the
present jail is disgrace to Terrell coun-
ty we are very much mistaken 1t IS
simply impossible to make decent and
humane provions in the present Jail for
the number of prisoners it always con-
tains. These prisoners are human
beings, and in christian community
should not be confined in such pen
as they now occupy. The reasons for
new Jail must appeal to every man OF
reason, to every one who has a sense OF
justice.
Let decent jail be built.

gAWSQR As 4 MARKET.

Few trading places in the entire state
of Georgia will offer such extren me low
nrices on goods this season as Daw-
son is now doing, During the re-
cent freight rate war the merchants of
Dawson were heavy buyers, and it is
worthy of note that they had the same
low freight rates from eastern and west
ern points that had always been enjoyed
as special privilege by the larger cities.
That means considerable saving to
their customers this fall and winter, and
every farmer who sells bis produce and
buys his goods here will get the benefit
of these low rates.
Aside from these freight advantages,
several new firms have OPP ened up large
stocks of goods and are letting their in
f1uence of increased competition be felt.
All this means that goods are being sold
very low, and THE News honestly be-
lieves that no market in Southwest Geor-
gia will give customer as much in
value for dollar as Dawson.
Added to the low prices are large
stocks, varied and assorted, and one who
comes here to trade will get suited.
Dawson merchants are no "shysters."
Their names are household words in this
sectiou, and their records are clean-all
live firms and doing business in live
town.

FRIGHTENED TO DEATH.

Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 27.-Lizzie
Carey and Carrie Daye, orphans II
and IL years old respectively, who
said they were from Poughkeepsie,
arrived here yesterday and walked to
New Ingleton, where they were going
to work as milkmaids on farm
owned by one Terry. They played
"hide and seek" all the way to New
Ingleton. and were seen to enter
piece of woods near New Briton
which in parts is very dense. Several
farmers, knowing it to be a dangerous
place, followed them, in order to save
them from getting lost. The little
girls saw their pursuers at a distance
and were afraid of them, and ran
screaming into the thickest parts of
the woods. They were too quick for
the farmers and disappeared entirely.
Last night the male residents in the
vicinity banded themselves together
and Instituted a search. Twelve men,
each carrying a lantern, divided them
selves into groups of three, and enter
ing the woods at the four points of
the compass. yelled and whistled as
they made their way to the center.
They found no signs of the children.
Today other parties have searched
for them. It is feared that II they
are not lifeless when found. exposure

THE KILLING OF SEALS.
Sir Charles Tupper Speaks Upon This
Question.

New York, Nov. pa special to the
World, from Ottawa, Ontario, says:
Sir Charles Upper, minister of marine
and fisheries, who was Ganada'a
agent at the Paris arbitration, dis
credits the report that the United
States government has asked Great
Britain to consent to the prohibition
Of the killing Of seals next season.
"Had the United States entertained a
reasonable proposal we made" says
Tupper, "the seal fisheries would have
suffered far less than they are likely
to do under the present regulations.
We saw the danger Of what the close
season would be. We said If thh
states would give us q good summers
work we would agree to prohibit seal
ing during the winter and spring
months, when the seals are gravid and
when the great damage is done BY
slaughtering. The United States re-
jected this proposal and the danger of
depletion is multiplied. The Behring
sea catch of Canadian vessels this sea-
son only amounts to q little over &c.
600 skins, or q per cent of the total
catch. The whole number of females
taken in Behring sea was 55 per cent
of the catch. a fact that contradicts
the United States assertion that for
every male seal killed three females
are slaughtered.
