LETTER FROM A DAWSON LADY.
Mrs. Whitchard Writes Interestingly of
a Benevolent Institution.

EDITOR DAWSON NEWS: If you
will allow me little space in your pa
per / will tell the Baptist Ladies Aid
and Missionary Society Of my visit 10
the Georgia Baptist Orphans Home
at Hapeville, nine miles from Atlanta.
The home is in a beautiful oak grove.
There are fifty acres of land, with
eighteen in cultivation, where ali the
vegetables needed are raised. The
work is done by children. There are
at present one hundred and eig hb
children and eight matrons, all under
the general supervision of Mrs. q. K.
Mccall, widow of Ghe late Rev. q. X.
Mccall, who was treas lrer of Mercer
University for several years. Thei e
are two two-story brick buildings fur
I.nished, one on eithOr side of the main
building now nearing completion.
This building has a laundry In the
basement, cooking and eating depart
ments on first floor and auditorium on
he secoEd floor.
To this Will be added a wing on
either side. The SOrosis society Of
Atlanta has already in it's treasury ten
thousand dollars with which to build
one Of these wings. This is TO be Oc-
cupied by the babies. The babies
number twenty-eight, and are domi-
ciled in neat little cottage at present
under the care of Mrs. Mat Bryant,
an aunt of DR.. Robert Stewart OF
| Dawson.
The brick cottages are the "Sallie
Rice Brown" built by Judge James
Brown in memory OF his daughter,
whose name it bears The other was
built by Mr.. Frank Etheridge OF New
nan. These are handsome monuments
to the benevolence of these gentle
men.
The children are fat and healthy and
are we'll cared for, having everything
to make them comfortable and con-
tented except mothers love. Few
people in the country have nicer and
more comfortable homes than these
orphans.
The Proctor children are well pleas
ed with their new home, and are in
fine health with rosy cheeks and hap
by faces. Louise asked me TO say 10
the society that they received the
box of clothing and thank you very
much" She had or one of the dresses.
and seems to appreciate the interest
taken in them by the society. If their
relatives and friends could see
them in this nome they would be so
glad they sent them to these good
people
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the good women in charge of this
home. If each member of the society
could visit this institution and see the
labor OF love and sacrifice of these
eight noble christian women and the
result upon these one hundred and
eight happy, healthy children We
would give more freely TO the sup
port of our own institution, The Geor-
gia Orphans Home Respectfully.

DAWSON'S STREET FAIR
WAS A ROUSING SUCCESS.
PRINCIPAL THoROUGHFAREs CROWD
Ed FOR FIVE CONSECUTIVE DAYS.
Scene of the Carnival Resembled Those
of Mardi Gras in Larger Cities.
An Enjoyable Week.

Dawson's first street fair. a genuine
success in every particular, is thing
OF the past.
For five consecutive days, Tuesday
till Saturday inclusive, Main street
and Lee from Main to Stonewall were
filed with a surging, pushing, good
natured, fun-loving human mass,
shouting in exhuberant glee, throwing
confetti and return balls, footing tin
horns, and INDUCING in hundred and
one other varied methods of amuse-
ment and general publication.
To those primarily in favor OF the
carnival it proved a delightful realiza-
ton of pleasant anticlpations, and to
those who were at first opposed to it
it came as a pleasant surprise. The
hilarity was contagious and soon be-
came aI-perYading. Staid fat1t rs
and mothers Wed with eager children
in dashing confetti into the mouths
and eyes OF unsuspectlng passersby
and gamboled just as friskily on
the crowded streets. Soda founts and
fruit stands would have made their
owners wealthy had the carnival last
ed long enough.
The "fying jenny" in the rear OF
the court house probably took in more
money than any other attraction, it
being estimated that the proprietor
cleared considerably over Slc0 per day
during the week.
OF the tented shows the electric
palace, the statue turning to life,
and the flying lady were by far the
most popular. In the first was some
excellent "poses plastique,' serpen'
pentine dancing and stereoptican
views The latter two proved popu-
lar and mysterious attractions and
were well patronized. Samson. the

Captain Stanlev's dive into three feet
of water daily drew crowds.
A pleasant feature of the week were
the various cumming" parties of boys
and girls which daily and Nightly made
round of the attractions, under chap
eronage of some older persons.
The largest crowds were present on
Thursday and Saturday. All during
the week remarkably good order was
prevalent. A few sightseers visited
the dispensary too often occasionally.
and required more than their share OF
the sidewalks in order TO navigate,
but only few arrests were made and
the principal duty of the extra force
of policemen consisted merely in main
tanning a strict surveillance.
The shows were all clean and re-
spectacle, and the managers courteous
and obliging. From here they went to
Ozark, Ala where they will be for. a
weeks engagement, and where the
citizens will doubtless be as we'll pleas
ed with the attractions offered as were
those of Dawson.

JURORS AND THE JAG-CURE
FERNANDEZ. TAKING IT DID NOT
MATTER.
Harrison Says He Might Still be I'm
biased After Being Fooled by Hagey's
Sick Remedy for Booze.

Il. Nj. Harrison, plaintiff in the jag
cure case against MagOon and others,
this morning filed his brief in the mo-
uon for a new trial, discussing the
alleged disqualification of Juror Fer
nandez, and the virtues Of the Hagey
gold cure. In answer to the defend
ants claim that the efficiency of the
cure was at issue and that Fernandez
knowledge of its worth would affect his
view Of the matter, he says:
The plaintiff never claimed that the
Hagey gold cure would not cure alco-
nolisin although he did think that the
deceit necessary in order to carry on
the misiness was a ground or reason
for snch a business to be unsatisfac-
tory 10 one obliged by contract to con-
duct t. Why Juror Fernandez should
be more prejudiced against the gold
cure business when he found that he
himself had been deceived than he
would be if he had only learned that
others had been so deceived is some-
thing defendants counsel have failed
10 shoY.'
1t is, claimed that even if Fernandez
was prejudiced against the Hagey for
mula, Rfter his experience with the
cure that stopped people boozing by
making them SO sick that the very
thought of boozing was hateful it
d1dn tmatter, and he might Still be
good juror. The plaintiff also says that
ii the defendants thought that expert
ence with the sick jag-cure disqualified
jurors they should nave asked the
jurors What they knew about it.
If fernandez is disqualified from
hearing a jag-cure case because he
was weaned from hot stuff with the
aid of Or. Hagey's formula" then a
man whD has been vaccinated is not
fit to hear case in which vaccination
is an issue, says the plaintiff, and a
man who thinks that liquor is harm
full thing in the world is not competent
90 try liquor case, which has been de-
cided otherwise.
For all these reasons and because,
as is claimed, Magoon knew that Fer
nandez was taking the cure when he
took it, and raised no objection to his
acceptance as a juror, the plaintiff
thinks the verdict ought to stand.

.AAHUKONA SENDS MONEY HOLT ESTATE SHORTAGE
HEIRS OBJECT TO PAYMENT At
ONCE.
Too Much Money Paid out by tho
Guardian-Fitch Says Reports are
Confusing.

The heirs of the r. w. Holt estate
this morning filed a brief, by their at
torney Col. Fitch, criticising the vari-
Gus reports of masters and the admin
istration of the estate by Bruce Cart
wright. The estate is over 1000 short
of what it ought to be, owing to too
large advances made to the heirs. and
Henry Smith, as master, recommended
that the sum be paid back. TO this
the heirs j. r.. Holt and j. d. Holt
make objections.
The brief of the heirs states that ac-
cording to the testimony of Smith the
shortage came about by reason of over
advances during six years past by
Bruce Cartwright. The masters re-
port, by J. NJ. Monsarrat, places it
since August 81, 1899. The deficiency
was caused by payments to j. ID. Holt
of $1,lll.12 and to j. II, Holt of S1,41T.62,
1t is stated, when in fact they were
only entitled to $415,04, the rest OF the
estate having been eaten up by heavy
expenses. After making these alega-
tions Fitch's brief says
1T is unnecessary however for petit
toners to consider the more or less
confused and confusing figures Of MIR.
Bruce Cartwright and Mr.. Henry
Smith, and l can hardly criticise the
master for limiting his report to pc
riod subsequent to September 1, 1899
Assuming the entire accuracy of Mr..
Monsarrats report the fact remains
that according to Mr.. Cartwrights own
statement he paid to the HOlts between
September 1, 1899 and June y, 1900,
$2,ll4,70 more than their income and
more than he had any warrant of law
for paying.
"WithoUt any order of court he took
out of the corpus of the estate 81, ,ll470
and loaned it to the Holts on no secur-
ity other than his ability to subsequ-
emily collect it from their income. He
did not even obtain from them or from
their guardian, any written order or
assignment of future income, nor has
there been adduced a scrap of paper to
show that the Holts understood that
the advance was to be taken from their
income. He treated these advances as
so much cash on hand and down to the
last moment reported them as cash on
hand.
II submit that the peremptory, op-
pressive and unauthorized method
adopted by Mr.. Smith of collecting the
| improvident loans made by his prede-
cessor ought not to be approved by this
court / submit that the collection OF
this $2,114.79. If it is to be collected in
| this way should at least be extended
over a period OF several years and that
| Mr.. Smith should be ordered to take
out of the fund of $2,114.70 now in his
hands such portion as the court may
deem proper to apply to the payment
of Mr.. Cartwrights advance, say one
fourth of $2,114.70 and that the balance
of $21147O be paid over to the Holts,
and that the remainder of the debt be
paid by appropriating each year for
two or three years a percentage of their
income until the debt shall be extin-
guished."

KINROSS ALL RIGHT.

Officers on the steamer Claudine say
that the report from Maui that the ship
Kinross had gone ashore on reef at
Maalaea bay, was incorrect. The Ves-
sci tVwed close in toward shore and an
chOred. Somebody saw the lights and
surmised that the vessel had gone as
hore and telephoned the sensational
news broadcast. Had the vessel been
ashore. the Claudne would ce-tr inlv
have been notified at Kahului to go
around to Maalaea bay and pull the
vessel off the reef. Purser Beckley of
the Kinau saw the lights of the vessel
close in shore early Saturday morning
and surmised that 1t was some boat
which had anchored there.

Crowd at Wharf

A good sized crowd was at the Wild

Gus leave town, Frank Beverley, Pro-
fessor Bernard, the st. Leon family and
all the other people connected with the
show, together with the trained horses
and dogs and monkey, were passengers
on the Kinau for Hilo.
The performers went aboard the ves-

night in his encounter with the Russian
Finn, so the all around man sought his
cabin very soon after going on the YES
sell He could not withstand the temp
tation to go out on the deck however
and watch the people.
All of the young ladies were decorat-
ed with leis and presented quite gay
appearance.
The trained horses of Professor Ber-
nard gave trouble in being hoisted
aboard the vessel and were provided
with special stalls on the forward main
deck. The dogs caused wild commo-
ton for a time on the wharf by their
barking and attempts to get loose All
of them were put aboard safely how
ever and the crowd got away without
mishap. The circus will show at Hilo
and then do the various towns on Ha-
wall and Maui, returning to Honolulu
in the course of a couple of weeks

PLUMBERS ALL LAY OFF LOCAL PRACTICE NRONG
THEY GATHER IN JUDGE EsTEEs
COUDRT.
Plumber Browns Fight Against All the
Rest-The Rights of Labor Unions at
Issue

All the plumbers in town were in
Judge Estee's court this morning.
Either the plumbing business is very
dull or the plumbers put off all their
jobs to hear the evidence in the case OF
thea lonely plumber Brown against all
the others, for the large court room was
fairly well filed with plumbers. Most
of them sat in the seats outside the rail.
Brown sat by his counsel Col. Fitch and
w. S. Fleming while the plumber ue-
PENDANTS occupied chairs near Frank
Thompson, who represents them.
The trial has raised an interesting
question as to how far labor unions may
go in forcing workmen to Join their or
ganizations and compelling masters to
employ only members. The plumbers,
both employers and employees, stand
charged with having entered into con-
spiracy by which Brown was practical
ly forced out of business, because he
refused to affiliate with the Master
Plumbers Association, after ii had
made a ruling unsatisfactory to him,
in the matter of the employment of two
plumbers who came from Seattle.
This morning the testimony of six
witnesses We're taken. w. IL. Bead, H.
Olman, w. j. England John j. Moore,
j. r. Lutted and William r. Parks took
the stand in succession, and told what
they knew of Browns troubles. the
plaintiff sought to show that, by reason
of an agreement between the masters
and the journeymen, whereby the
journeymen were bound to work for
none but members of the Masters AS
sociation, and the masters agreed to
employ none but members of the jour-
neymen's association, he was unable to
do any work not being able to get help,
When Brown was on the stand he swore
that he had been making $500 a month,
and that he had had to give up. He
specified several contracts which he had
had to abandon, because he found it
impossible to get help.
Brown claims that under the pres
ent conditions the plumbing business is
so closely hemmed in by the two asso-
Citations that it is impossible for man
to do any plumbing. except by the COM
bination, and that a private citizen
could not buy material and have it put
in unless he dealt with the Masters,
and the Journeymens' associations.
The plaintiffs case was closed at
about eleven o'clock, and Thompson
moved for non-suit. He argued that
\ no case of damages by reason of the
agreement between the associations
Ahad been shown.
Judge Estee overruled the motion for
a non-suit and ordered the case to pro-
ceed. He said that he would Instruct
the jury that if there was not a Ccr-
spiracy nothing could be recovered un-
less actual damage was shown
Edward r. Bath was the first witness
for the defense. He testified that he
only charged SO a day instead of $10
which Brown stated was the ruling
rate.
