THE DEWEY DINNER.
OawsOnians Dine on Board the Asiatlc
S0uadrOn. The Prize Drill.


The entire fleet composing the Asiatic
SQUADRON was anchored in the armory OF
the Dawson Guards Friday night, and
the ladies of the Baptist church, with
their characteristic enterprise, took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to give a
dinner on board the ships.
The privilege of dining on board the
battle Scared vessels of the famous fleet
was one net to be despised, and the
small charge of twenty-five cents did not
deter a large crowd from availing them
selves of this opportunity. The weather
was ideal for naval reception. The
water was calm and unruffled, and the
ships proudly floated upon placid sea.
Not single case of sea-sickness was re-
ported.
The tall spars and towering masts OF
the vessels were conspicuous for their
lavish decorations, and every craft in the
harbOr was decked out from stem to
stern with all the grace and attractive
ness known to shippers. The grand old
Olympia, Admiral Dewey's flagship,
proudly fosted in the center of this no.
BILE fleet. dressed out in a multitude of
flags and gay devices, and around her
were CluSI6T6u tuC ObuOL 'OCCOAC S~AA ~
long stIealners of red, white and blue
and ropes of flags and banners.
The scene was quite an inspiring enc,
and the profusion of patriotic decora-
tons lent zest TO the occasion and caused
the heart to bound quickly at sight OF
the flag. The vessels were all loaded
down with good things to eat and braYe-
ly withstood the onslaughts made upon
them.
Before the reception was ended the
members of the Dawson Guards engaged
in a spirited contest for gold medal, a
prize offered for the best drilled man.
The contestants were all on their mettle,
and it took some time to arrive at de-
cision. Sergeant Wilkinson was finally
adiudged the winner, and the medal was
delivered to him in neat speech by
Professor Ashley.
The entertainment was one of the most
thoroughly enjoyable ever given here,
and Melted the ladies quite nice sum.
The projectors of this novel and unique
idea have reason to congratulate them
selves upon the successful carrying out
of this original affair.

DAWSON'S new
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
1T WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST
EQUIPPED IN THE STATE.

New Hose Reel and Hook and Ladder
Truck Have Arrived. Three Paid
Men and Two Horses.
Dawson is taking long step forward
I'm the matter of fire protection, and will
soon own one of the mos. thoroughly
equipped departments in the state. The
old fire headquarters on Lee street has
been completely remode!ed, and in its
place now stands modern and up-to-
date fire house. The interior has been
fitted up for the new paid department,
being lighted with electricity, floor I'm
ished with brick and cement, and has
two stalls for the horses that will be
kept ready to respond to the first alarm
In the rear room has been comfort
ably finished for the men of the
paid department. 1t is the intention OF
the city to have three paid firemen, who
will be on duty at all times, sleeping and
eating at headquarters.
Preparations are also being made on
an extensive scale to equip the new der
partment with all the latest appliances
for fighting fire. new hook and ladder
truck has just been added, also new
hose reel and several hundred feet of
hose, These in themselves represent an
OUTLAY of about one thousand dollars,
and it is estimated that to install the new
department complete, including the new
apparatus, the horses and the salaries of
three firemen for one year, will cost from
$4,000 to So 500.
1t is claimed that such fire depart.
ment as Dawson will have will material
w reduce the insurance rates of the city,
and it is an enterprise in which the
whole city is interested and an eXpendi-
ture that is regarded almost as an a5so-
lutte necessity. The fitting up and super
intending of the new department 10 IN
the hands of Alderman Duebler, chair
man of the fire committee, and he has
given it constant attention and enthusi-
astic support. When finished and ready
TOR service the new department will be
the pride of the city, and will reflect
great credit upon Alderman Dueoler for
the thnroughness of his work
1t is very probable that room will be
built on top of the engine house and the
telephone exchange moved there.
This will render it possible for an alarm
to be sent in from any portion OF the
city at any time and be instantly commu-
nicated to the firemen.

FERTILIZER SALES
MUCH REDUCED.
REPORT OF AGRICULTURAL De-
PARTMENT BEING PREPARED.
1000 Tons of Fertilizers Less Was
Used Than Last Year. Short
Crop Was Advised.

The annual report of the state depart>
ment of agriculture, which is now in
preparation, will show number of in
teresting figures bearing directly on the
short crop of Georgia, both in cotton
aud other staple products.
The report will show that the sale of
fertilizers, which is directly controlled by
the department of agriculture, has been
brought down 20 per cent less than the
sale of last year; that while the sale OF
fertilizer tags last year amounJed to $43 =
600 only $34, 900 worth of tags have been
sold this year.
BY advising the non>use of fertilizers
and reducing its sale throughout the
state the department of agriculture has
scored a signal victory. The cotton
acreage, and hence the cotton crop, has
been reduced.
Commissioner o. b. Stevens, at the
beginning of his term of office, urged
the farmers of Georgia to diversity their
crops in the hope that the agricultural
classes of the south would generally ap-
preciate the fact that good price could
not be demanded for a surplus crop of
cotton. The advice of the department
was taken IN great many instances IN
thls state, with the result that the sale
of fertilizers has been reduced 90, 900
tons over last year BY thus reducing
the crop the friends of the department
maintain that to 1t is due, in part, the
increased prices which the farmers of
the state are receiving and are to receive
for their cotton. The loss to the crop in
Texas as a result of the floods is account
ed as the main factor in bringing better
prices to the farmers of the south, but
the short Georgia crop is also not an i'm
material factor in the result.
The tabulated figures relative to the
acreage, crop, estimates and prices of
cotton since 1879 show unerrlngly that
the price is regulated by the size of the
crop. This is the belief generally held
by those interested in the production of
the staple, but it is clearly shQ Wn by a
close analysis of the figures in the hands
of Commissioner Stevens. In 1879, with
crop of only 100000 bales, the price
of cotton was II cents, in 1890, with
crop of 100000 bales. che price went
down to 9 cents, and in 1898, with crop
of II 200, 900 bales, the price went to lit
tie over cents.
The report of the department of agri-
culture, which is to be completed for the
consideration OF the Legislature, will be
one of the most interesting and import.
ant ever issued by the department.

Mr.. EAGAN RESIGNS.
Regret Expressed at his Resignation
from Interstate Telephone Co.

Mr.. {. II. Eagan has resigned as gen
eral manager of the Interstate Tele-
phone Company. He is a popular and
capable official and his resignation is
regretted by the patrons in all the
towns and cities where the Interstate
Company maintains AN exchange.
The Durham Morning Herald speaks
in the highest terms of Mr. Eagan, say
ing in part:
&c. II. Egan, general manager of the
Interstate Telephone Company has re-
signed the position. His resignation
has been rendered once before, but he
was induced to continue in the position.
Mr.. Egan took charge of the company's
business some few years ago and since
that time it has grown steadily and
the service improved.
"iIc has been courteous and clever TO
the people with whom he has come In
contact and has done much to build up
the patronage of the company. MI.
Egan is an electrician of great merit
and it is hardly probable that he VIII
long remain unemployed, indeed he mas
already been rendered other positions.
His many friends in Durham Will re-
grct to have him leave"
The Winston Journal says: MIR.
Egan has proved "a most genial and ac-
commodating manager"
The Wilmington Messenger says:
Mr. Egans many friends in Whining
ton also regret very much to learn of
his resignation and certainly hope that
he may be induced to recall the resigna-
lion and continue with the Interstate
Company, with whom he has done an ex-
celent work.
Winston Sentinel: "Mr. Egan is a
clever gentlemen and the Sentinel es-
teens him very highly. 1t hopes he can
he induced to locate in Winston as he is
capable electrician and man of genius
