COMMITTEE VISITS BABY.
CITIZENS COME TO INVESTIGATE
PARENTAGE OF THE WAIF.
Indignation in the Community Where
Its Parents Are Said to Live.
Mother Disappears.

The little babe that was left at the
home of the negro woman, Mat Biyins,
two weeks ago, an account Of which was
published in The News, is yet the CEN
ter Of interest, especially in the COM
munity in Clay county where its pa
rents are said to reside.
The mother of the child is a niece of
the man who is SAID to be responsible
for her downfall, and, being an Or
phan, was reared in his family. They
have both heretofore stood high at
their home and were prominent in
church and society, and so carefully
were their Illicit relations concealed
that when rumOrs of the birth of the
childin Dawson reached the people who
had known and respected them so long
they were shocked. Surprise rapidly
grew into Indignation, and last week
the church and the community deter
mined to investigate the reports that
had come to them concerning the af-
fair.
A committee of three prominent cit
zens were sent to; Dawson to conduct
the Investigation, and this committee
spent Thursday in the city. They
took hold Of the matter with gloves
off, and sifted it thoroughly. They Sc
cured the services of a police officer
and inspected the register OF the hotel
where the man and girl were guests
when they first reached Dawson, and
visited the home OF the people with
whom the girl stopped during her sew
eral weeks stay here and who now
have the baby in charge. The waif
was carefully scrutinized and the fami-
ly in whose care it was left were close
ly questioned. The inves tigation was
pushed with energy and determna-
zion, and it is said that the gentlemen
went home strongly fortified with evil
denCe.
The committee said that their com
mumty was considerably aroused over
the affair. Feeling is running high,
and interesting developments may oc-
cur at any time.
The mother OF the babe returned
home soon after the birth of the child,
but it is said that she has since disap-
peared from there.

DAWSON APPEALS TO
INTERSTATE COMMISSION.
A VIGOROUS KICK AGAINST EN-
CESSIYE FREIGHT RATES.
A Demand That Dawson Be Put on
Equal Footing With Competing
Towns. Unjust Dis
elimination,
CrinlinatiOn.


Dawson no longer pleads, as a sup
plant on Bonded knee, with the rail
roads for her rights.
For years Dawson has impOrtuned
the railroads to remove the unjust DIS
elimination in freight rates, and place
her commercial interests on an equal
footing with competing towns. To these
opportunities the railroads have paid
but little attention. They have, it is
true, often promised that something
definite would be done and relief
granted, but as yet no reduction has
made and the same exhOrbitant rates
are in force. The Georgia and Ala
bama, when it first bought the Column
bus southern, made glowing promises
that Dawson would be treated Justly,
that it would be made a rating point
and given the same freight rates as
Americas and Albany. 1t is under
stood that the authorities of this
road did make some effort to car
ry out their promises but failed to get
the cooperation of other lines inter
ested.
The merchants and business men of
Dawson have now given up all hope of
the railroads making any concessions,
and have gone to the Interstate COM
