Interstate Commerce Commissio n vii
Hear Complaint Aug. nth.
Notice was received Monday from the
secretary of the Interstate Railway Com
mission that the complaint of the Daw-
son Board of Trade against the Central
and the Georgia and Alabama railways
will be heard in Washington ON August
18th.
The interstate commission has been
petitloned to stop discrimination in
freight rates against Dawson and equal
iZ9 Dawson's rates with those of Albany
and Americas. A similar proceeding
before the state railway commission sew
eraI months ago resulted in Dawson's
rates for all hauls within the state being
equalized with those OF competing towns.
and the case before the interstate com
mission is expected to terminate as sue
cessfullv.
Judge Griggs will represent Dawson's
interests at the hearing before tire COM
mission.

TEN CARS HAVE BEEN SHIPPER
Growers Have Been Hustling to Get Tar-

Growers Have Been Hustliug to Get Ter
rell's Peach Crop to Market,
For the past week there has been great
activity among the fruit growers of Daw.
son, and as result ten carloads of fine
peaches have been sent to the markets
Several more would have been Skinned
but for scarcity of crates, which has
caused the growers to loose a consider
able part of the crop. The waste would
have been greater had not the two
variety manufacturing shops relieved
the situation to some extent by MAKING
several thousand crates that answered
the purpose of the shippers very we'll
The fruit business about Dawson
would be revelation to those who have
not kept up with the progress made in
this industry. The mode of gathering
the crop ald making it ready for
market requires a large force of
hands, and it is an interesting
sight to visit the packing houses
and see the manner in which it is hand
led. There are some expert packers
and there is nothing prettier than the
long rows of crates with their richly
colored fruit waiting to be put aboard
the cars for the market.
The orchards about Dawson ara all
young, and not more than two or three
more carloads of peaches will be shipped
from here this season

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

The issue at the coming school elec
tion is coming TO be understood by
many Of the people. Two directon
are TO be chosen. One for five year:
and one for one year. These Two will
have voice in reforming the finan-
cial affairs Of the district. They
should not be chosen to take up any
of the factional fights Of the school
board or of any person who may be
dissatisfied. But men or women
should be chosen 10 do right by all
the peorle OF the district, and who
would vote with any of the present
members for what is right and just.
The election OF two Republican
chairmen would bring too much poll.
tics into the board. 1t would be com
posed Of five Republicans; representing
two factions, and there would be no
end OF personal strife. The people
are tired OF school district politics.
1t remains TO be seen whether the
people can separate their public schools
from political dictation and make
their conduct solely responsible TO the
people. The first step TO this end is
TO cut down the high interest burden
and refund the debt at not over four
per cent as is done in other states.
The debt of the district Is small anG
its credit excellent. There Is no ex-
cuse whatever for using borrowed
money at from to 8 per cent. Di-
rectors who will cut down the inter-
est burden will lower taxes and none
other should be chosen. Next choose
directors who Will give the people the
best teachers possible for the salary
paid regardless or their politics, re-
ligion or personality. Prehaps we are
not broad enough or hoDest'enough TO
deal thus with great sacred public
trust. II we are not we ought to be
ashamed of ourselves.

There Is ope fact that the coming

than formerly, and they do not intend
to allow tTimmers and time servers 20
deceive them longer. A man who be-
comes candidate of party, whether
Republican, Democratic or Populist,
must clearly represent its principles.
He must be mao OF convictions, in
whom his party has confidence. The
explainer, or juggler' OF words, who
seeks TO avoid an issue, in order to
cover aud conceal his record, will be
discarded and out Of IA job. He must
speak out, like Messrs. Fulton and
Carey, though his words knock out
his record or expose his Instability or
lack Of political wisdom. These gen.
tlemen, Ignoring their past records as
Silver apostles, declared themselves
with so mech vehemence as "gold
bugs" and devoted to "gold bug"prin-
clples, that they actually misled some

influence for good schools it will be
pointed out as reason why they
should not be entrusted with manage
