If anybody supposes that a Washington
newspaper will Ice dull and without health
full excitement, now that the Congress
is off its hands, that lis where that per-
son is wrong in the most mortuary sense
When we cast our American eagle eye over
the country and see the conditions exist
ing; almost labor revolution; people
driven TO madness and suicide by the
miseries of their oppression; when we
look abroad and observe all the monarchi-
cal enemies of the republic gathering them
selves together TO Suppress our ambitions
and sacred rights, and view our pluto
cratic masters in the fat and fetid act
OF helping them all they can, it is inn
possible 10 escape the conclusion that there

tons abound that all organized American

would be hard TO bear especial hard for

We are perfectly in accord with His Ex-
cellency tire japanese minister, in connec
ton with the closing paragraph of his latest
note on Hawaiian annexation. He Is good
enough to state that reports constantly are
appearing lin even the reputable section
OF the press of the United States" regard
ing designs Of Japan against Hawaii. He
isabsolu;ely right. Such reports do appear,
and they are printed in two kinds of news
papers There only are that numher Of
kinds in the United States. One Of them
is reputable, because never by any chance.

ever. II things obnoxious to Japan have
crept .nto This reputable section OF the
press" il must have been because the
japanese government, heing a shade new
at the BUSINESS, has omitted to send in a
check every month This is an oversight
which Tire newspapers of the description
referred 20 by Mr.. Hoshi always resent
He il not the astute diplomatist we are
proud 10 think him ir he has not noticed
that every time the Spanish government
got hard up, "evcn the reputable section
OF the press" began to publish painful
things about the outrage and butch
cry of Cuban women and children!
Then, as soon as the Senator from
Spain and the legation could obtain
remittances from their uncle Rothschild,
all uncomfortable facts were suppressed
90 have the first class of the Rising SUM- and
a double first of the Sacred Treasures,
should know how to handle ''even the re-
putable section Of the press" The other
sort is hopeless. 1t is not numerically
important and it says things from an
American point of view. 1t has the had
taste TO love its own country and people,
and would lot sell them out TO foreign
Influence, even under such extreme cir
cunstances as minded our much-admitrd
friend, Mr.. de Hale de LONE to say that
he was not spending $4,000 a month in
Washington for nothingr' But, perhaps,
this is beside the question! Mr.. Hoshi, in
behalf of Japan, observes, with great
critical judgment, that European nations
have been spending the past fifteen years
IN the pleasant pastime of hogging every
thing loose in the Pacific Ocean, and that
Japan cannot view that sort of thing with
equanimity, in the absence Of chance to
do likewise. We are entirely In sympathy
with his japanese majesty on this point.
So much Sc that We have allowed him to
gobble the island Of Formosa without ut
sering a chiIp. This was the more honor
able on our part, because, in consequence OF
the rich and fruitful petroleum deposits on
theisland, naturally and properly il belonged
10 our philanthropic acquaintance, Mr.. John
ID. Rockefeller. Lush with the pTofuse
possession Of oil and water, Formosa would
have been exactly the ideal place for a
great development in kerosene, vaseline,
Bnllene and Baptist college. But We sub
mitted to Japanese annexation without
stirring a boot.

A THRIFTY TERRELL TOWN.
A PLACE MADE FAMOUS BY POLK
HASS AND CHARLIE HARRIS.
Pretty Churches, FlOurishing School.
Progressive Merchants and
Happy People.

HERoD, March, 8.-The snug and
inviting homes and fertile farms
along the road from Dawson to Herod
give evidence of thrift and happy and
contented people, and as you enter the
village of Herod, which is noted for its
progressive spirit and clever people
you are not only charmed with its
picturesque beauty hut impressed with
the indications of prosperity, happi-
ness and refinement which are seen on
all sides. The first thing to attract the
attention of the visitor is the pretty
and commodious churches that stand
opposite each each other on either
side of the road. The Baptists and
Methodists OF Herod are to be con-
"atulated upon having two such
pretty and comfortable houses OF
worship.
The school at Herod is in charge
OF Professor Grimes, recent grad,
uate OF Mercer University and a
young man of high intellectual at
tainments. The school is always fill
ed with pupils, and they give evidence
OF the good training they are receiv-
ing. Professor Grimes is held in
high esteem by all Of his patrons, and
is doing good work for that COM
munity.
Near Herod is the extensive "chick>
en- farm" of Mr.. James Clark. He
has ten acres devoted to his chickens.
He receives orders from all parts OF
tAe Uuited States, Mexico and Canda,
aud finds it difficult to supply the de-
mand 'for his celebrated game fowls.
1t is not unusual for him to have as
many as 200 letters to answer at one
time.
The two mercantile houses Of Her.

and they sell as many goods as any

DAWSON AS A STOCK MARKET
ONE OF THE GREAT HORSE AND
MULE MARKETS.
Aggregate Sales This Season Nearly
Fifty Thousand Dollars. Bus
mess on the Increase.

The News has before alluded to
Dawson>s Importance as a horse and
mule market.
Dawson is known throughout this
section as one of the leading stock
markets of southwest Georgia aud
farmers and mill men from all the
adjoining counties come here to buv
their horses and mules.
While the sales of past season
have been large, those fer this season
are much larger than ever before.
80 far twenty.eight car loads, or 500
head, of horses and mules have been
sold in this market, and indications
point to continued demand-some.
what slower, however, during March
and April Probably another car
load will be Sold during the season.
Five hundred horses and mules at
an average OF $50 per head foots up
grand aggregate of $3.50 that
mas been paid out for mules and
horses in the Dawson market.
Probably but few people know
that Dawson is such an important
stock market.
