began:

Eyes, sir,'' was the reply, "and if !
don't do it I'll refund your money"
The Judge was seated n the operating

was the denhst inserting small tube in
his mouth. He got dose of gas and be-
came unconscious. When he came to

erstwhile spotless shirt and collar COW

He seemed very anxious to have the

to leave his retreat from under the

"Why, young man, what's the mat

American Girls should Be Particular

american Girls Should Be Particular
About Marrying Foreigners.
From TIE Atlanta Constitution.
Mrs. Maybrick's friends, after spend
ing over 100000 in collecting new evil
dence, have failed to induce the home
secretary to reopen tue case.
The New York Mail and Express sees
In the fate of this unfortunate woman a
warning to American parents and their
daughters. Before she married. Mrs.
Maybrick was an innocent and beautiful
southern girl who practically had never
been outsof her mothers sight. She was
courted by vicious and dissipated for
eigner who coveted her fortune
and her beauty. Nobody cues
toned the past, He appeared 70 be an
Englishman of good social position, and
the girl was handed over to him.
Maybrick took his wife to England and
forced her to associate with people who
bad lbbae9Jl partners in his vices. He took
wife endeavored to reform him, but he
continued his debauchery, ruined his
health and finally fell Ia victim to his
long and persistent habit of eating arse
mic. His relatives then so manipula-
ted the facts that Mrs. Maybrick
was convicted of poisoning her hus-
band. They simply conspired to-
gether to get her out her of the way so
that stheyI.could get the dead mans
money.
American girls should be protected
from foreigners of the Maybrick stamp,
and from the adventures who masquer-
ade Eunder various titles of nobility.
Some of these fellows marry Our oirls
kno wing that the marriage will not hold
good in Europe. Others marry Ameri-
can heiresses, squander their money
and treat them brutality. Undoubtedly,
we should have marriage laws making
it necessary for foreigners to show that
they are honest, respectable, self-sup-
porting persons before they can get a
marriage license in this country.

A Chapter Of Corean Politics.

How to get rid of obnoxious cabinet
officials is problem which has bother
ed many nations. In England they have
to resign when parliament votes against
their policy. In France and Spain they
are made targets for occasional dyna-
mite bombs. In this country they have
it all their own way until their terms
expire.
But it is very different in Corea. In
that progressive country, the other day
the king turned three unpopular cabinet
ministers over to the people with in
structions to eat them up. The unfort
innate statesmen were thrown into the
public square, aud in a few moments
the people had them literally Sin thei

THE CONGRESSIONAL PRIMARY.

Chairman Hobbs Has Decided Not to Ca Ii
the District Committee Together Yet.
From the Albany Herald.
Capt. Richard Hobbs, chairman of the
democratic executive committee of the
second congressional district, whose
letter to the members of the committee
with reference to calling the committee
together at an early day with the view of
fixing time and place FOR the next dis
trict convention and ordering the cleo
tion of delegates at the state primary on
the 9th of June was published last week
has heard from all the members OF the
committee except two, and he has de-
cided not to call the committee together
just now.
While majority of the committee
appear to favor having the delegates to
the congressional convention elected at
the June primary there are members Of
the committee who strenuously object to
it, and Capt. Ell ibis says that he would
not feel justified in calling thecommittee
together for the purp Sc of ordering the
convention and having the delegates
chosen in advance of the national demo-
cratic convention, which is to be held in
July, unless the committee appeared to
be practically unanimous for it.
Captain Hobbs fully realizes that it is
important that the organized democracy
should present united front in the ap-
preaching election in the district, and
his efforts as chairman of the district
committee will be on that line. 1t now
looks like our congressional convention
and the election of delegates to it will
not be mixed up with the state primary

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1896-03-25

The Washington Star has found one
republican manager who has hit upon
a plan to make black southern delegates
to the st. Louis convention stay bought
until after the ballot has been taken.
After agreeing with the delegate upon
the price of his vote, he cuts bank
note Of large denomination into two
pieces, gives one piece to the negro and
puts the other in his pocket, telling the
delegate that he will be given the re-
mainder of the note when his vote has
been recorded.
