SILVER SENATORS WILL RETALiATE.

If the reports that come from Wash
ington are true the silver senators have
gotten their backs up at last and will
not longer submit to the high-handed
action of the president in turning out
of office government employees who sup
ported democratic principles and the
democratic nominees in the late cleo
ton.
1t is said to be the intention of these
senators to oppose the confirmation of
nominations made to fill vacancies
caused by the removal of silver men.
1t will be remembered that there were
a number of removals of silver men
previous to the election on the ground
of ''pernicious activity" One of those
removed was Henry d. Clayton, dis
trict attorney of Alabama. George F..
Moore was appointed in his place.
dOOre is opposed by both senators
from his state, and 1T is understood
that the other silver senators will sup
port the opposition of the Alabama
senators. The silver men very Justly
claim that there was as much activity
on the part of members Of the admin.
lstration as among the silver
men, and they propose to retail; t. fol
Mr., Cleveland's discrimination.
The president has run roughshot
over everything chat is democratic
long enough, and it is gratifying t.
know that the democratic senators pro
pose to call halt.

the unfortunate man, and he was en-

A HORRIBLE WRECK.
Railroad Train Falls 400 Feet Cars Burn
ed and Cremated Many People.


ed and Cremated Many People.
One of the most horrible wrecks ia the
annals of railroad casualties occurred
last Saturday morning when a fast NOV
ing passenger train on the Birmingham
and Mineral railroad plunged at full
speed through an iron bridge and dashed
to pieces on the rocky bottom of the Ca
haba river no feet below. The wreck
occurred a few miles out of Birming-
ham. To add horror and ghastliness to
the awful scene the splintered cars
and slowly cremated the helpless victims
of the awful disaster. Twenty-eight
persons were either killed by the fall or
burned afterward and at least ten more
were so badly injured that they will die.
The bridge from which the train took
its awful plunge is an IRON structure ITO
feet high, 400 feet long and is built on
four piers. The wreck is the work of
train Wreckers, but how it occurred is
not known, While the wounded were
dying and the flames were slowly but
surely apprJa aching those who were pin
Toned in the wreckage so that they
could not move, the train wreckers-the
men who had wrought all the horror
and death-came down like ghouls from
hell to pillage the dead and rob the dy-
ing. While the wounded and helpless
were calling on them for rescue from the
fast nearing flames they took what was
of value and then to hasten tie deaths
of their victims they set fire to the cars
in several places.

murders have been added to a list al
ready too large of similar crimes in

are becoming impressed with the idea
that human life is held too cheaply.

but the courts are pOwerless unless
there is healthy public sentiment be-

DAWSON should not let 1897 come
and go without cotton mill in her
limits. The town will never attain
much greater growth or prosperity as
long as our business interests are de-

at the beginning of the new year, is
the time to take the matter in hand
and push it. Factories bring people

now GEORGIA SPENT CHRISTMAS.

The appalling criminal record Tor
Christmas week in Georgia has caused
any amount of comment, The reports
from December 26th to December 9th
| inclusive show no less than twenty
homicides, many of them being cold
blooded murders, and the great major
ity of them growing out of drinking of
whiskey. There were also numerous
bloody fights; which, however, are not
taken into consideration.
The Savannah Morning News attrIb-
utes it all to whiskey drinking and
pistol toting, and says:
at was a sad Christmas for hun :
dreds of Georgians because of whiskey
and pistols. The hOmicides reported
there may be others yet to be heard
from-occurred in Atlanta, Augusta,
Blackshear, Columbus, Claxton, Daw-
son, Dublin, La Grange, Rhine, ROp-
ersville, Savannah, Spa ks, Talbotton
and Woodbury.. In Savannah there
were three homicides, in TalbOttOn a
man killed his wife and mother-in-law,
in Columbus there was homicide on
Christmas eve and another on Christ
mas day, and at Woodbury. three drunk
en- toughs killed a constable who was
trying to enforce the law. In almost
every instance it was Whiskey and pis-
tolls, as said above"
Why should we celebrate the birth
of Savior by horrible butcheries and
drunkenness? Surely if there is a time
to kill this is not the season for it. Its
observance should be marked by a gem
eral rally around the Christmas tree,
the reunion of families, and the enjoy
ment of all the delights of the home
fireside. Instead of peace and good
will the day has been converted in
to an era of drunken broils and crimes
which are disgrace to an enlightened
and christian land. "Glory to God in
the highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward men, was the blessed an

shepherds on the day Christ was born,
