10 SOMETHING FOR,,DAWS0N.

Now is the time to do something for
Dawson; the time TO plan for more
business and better times and TO start
the town on The upward move again.
The better part of reason is not to
crOak about times that were, but to
get the best from the times. that will
be.
A Business Mems League would be a
vital force in the towns growth. 1t
would be a striking advertisement Of
the towns spirit of energy and prog
ress. 1t would in itself be the first
the Evidence of thrift, hustle and W de-
awakeativeness Of our people. An en-
ergetiC body of business men united
on this idea could do much toward Im~
proving Dawson as a market, and
would be convincing proof to pros>
pective investors and immigrants that
the people had the confidence in the
towns future they sought TO inspire in
others. Such an organization would
insure prOspectors of intelligent and
hearty cooperation.
No other means would be so effective
IN laying before small manufacturers
ana capitalists 0ur Resources and ad-
yantages, and in making market that
would bring all the people of the sur
rounding country hereto sell their pro-
duce and buy their goods.
There are a number of men IN Daw-
son who could take hold of the move
ment and make it a success. Will
some of them do something for Daw-
son by taking hold?

FABW0US GAMBLING.

That gigantic gambling hell, Wall
street, has recently eclipsed all of its
former operations, notes the Selma
journal. The latest figures show an in
crease in the value of stocks and bonds
of $6l5, 693,591 in the past six months
it is stated that twenty-five we'll
known gamblers gained $15O,OOO,O 900,
commencing with $3O,0OO,0OO by the
Standard Oil King Rockefeller. Ex-
Mayor Hugh j. Grant made a little
100000 pile, and a number of other
spectators got in the swim. OF course
the gains of the lucky ones represent
the losses of somebody else, and these
losses are. sustained largely by the
little fish who put in their thousands
and. hundreds in the midst of the
whirl and bet on the wrong side, and
thousands have been irretrievablv
ruined; but so it has always been with
the earthern pot attempting to swim
down the current with the brass one.
The innOcents are trying to play
agalnstthe skilled gambler who holds
a stocked hand.

BEAR GRASS AND BAGGING.
Bunch of the Grass Sent to Commissioners

Stevens With "A Suggestion.
From the Milledgeville Union.
Mr.. X. c.. Billiard gathered a bunch
of bear grass, Rhich grows wild on the
commons of this city, and sent it last
Thursday to Mr.. O. B. Stevens. state
commissioned of agriculture. This grass
is IN common use IN this community for
hanging meat, stringing fish, etc. In
the specimen bunch sent to Mr.. Stevens
one of the blades was SHREDDED, showing
the fibre, which is fine and very strong,
This grass could, no doubt, ue used to
make cotton bsggiug, rope, mating, etc
Inc more seems TO DO stronger and fine r
Than MANILA. Perhaps this grass could
be grown with more profit than cotton
Indeed, it looks like a new and profits
able industry might be found IN bear
grass.
In our soil and it's products there are,
no doubt, many sources of undeyeloped,
II not undiscovered, wealth. The low
price OF cotton has turned the eyes of
farmers, with SearGhiight longing, to a
more remunerative crop. But the pros
perlty OF the producer depends upon the
demands OF the consumer. The growth
OF new textile plant must await the
invention of suitable machinery for It's
manufacture. Without the gin there
would be no cotton market. The genius
of the age has invented much machinery
to cheaper material furnished by labor.
But our soil produces much that goes to
waste tor the want of suitable machinery
TOT Its manufacture into useful goods.
Necessity is the mother of invention -
during the war rope was made of bear
grass and pretty hats of pine straw.
Let our skilled mechanics and artisans
go to work and invent machinery for
utilizing all the products of our soil and
the country Will blossom as the rose
Let Commissioner stevens submit his
bunch of beargrass to the school oil
technology and ask for machine fol
manufacturing into useful goods plants
