DAWsON's POLICE FORCE.

to be commended and congratulated

Of the chief of police and the force

wisdom and thoughtfulness of their

No municipal county or state officer,

SHERIFF CALLS JUDGE A LIAR.
Fight Over DOugherty County Bonds
Results in Red Hot Sensation.

The sensation of the year in Albany,
SAYS a press dispatch from that place,
has developed ont of the court house
bond question. Some months ago an
election was held for the purpose of
ascertaining the will of the people as
TO the proposed issue of $4,000 in
bonds for the purpose of erecting a
court house for Dougherty county.
The election went "for bonds" by a
safe ma jority, but defect was found
in the notice of the election and the
valuation of the bonds was contested
by intervenOrs. The case was decid-
ed against the intervenOrs in the SUI
perior court, but was won by them in
the supreme court.
AS soon as the case was decided
against the county, another election
was ordered and will be held on the
22nd of this month. Judge D. Fl. Pope
who was the attorney for tEe inter-
venors, is one OF the hardest fighters
against the bond issue and he publish
ed card in the Albany Morning Star
last Sunday morning against the pros
and cons of the bond issue. In this
card he took occasion to charge the
county officials with corruption. The
paragraph of the card which has given
the officials offense is as follows:
"Such talk comes from the court
house rat, who wants fine quarters at
other peoples expense, aud whose
principal business is to get his hand
in the public crib as often as possible
and get out all he can under the form
of law and by special unconstitutional
acts. He has no other stock in trade"
When this card was published Sher.
if Edwards and County Treasurer and
Clerk r. P. Hall addressed Judge
Pope note asking il he meant that
they were obtaining money from the
county which was not legally theirs.
Judge Pope's repl! to that note was
not satisfactory to them and these gen
tIemeu published in the Albany Her
aid a spicy card in reply to the one in
the Star. After explaining why they
thought Judge Pope had sesn fit to
charge them with corruption, the card
concludes with this paragraph:
"Now, as to his mean personal lnSin-
uations, we shall dismiss him with but
few words. Since he has been given
q gentleman's or portunity to disclam
any intention ito rsfer to either or
both of US as the "court house rat
who who wants fine quarters at other
peoples expense, and whose priRcipal
business is to get his hand il the pub-
lie crib and get out all he can under
the forms of law and by special uncOn-
stitutional act of the legislature, and
he has failed TO do so, we hereby sep
arately and Individually denounce him
as liar. "
Friends have intertered and brought
about an amicable settlement of the
difficulty.

THE QUESTION OF CARNIvALs.

The press of the state is just at pres
ent devoting much editorial space to
the discussion of carnlvals, and the
general trend of opinion appears to be
largely against the street fairs.
Dawson has had some experience
along this line, and The News believes
that this class of entertainment is far
less in favor now than before the car
nival came. The company which
showed for a week in Dawson brought
attractions above the average for such
occasions, and yet it evidently failed
TO give satisfaction, for the same com
panv was refused permission to visit
Dawson the second time.
Street fairs do not number among
their attractions, practically speaking,
any such thing as a first class show,
though there are possible exceptions
TO the rule. The shows are usually of
low order, and it would not be safe to
guarantee the moral character of any
of the participants.
The managers or promoters have, OF
course, no interest in town in which
they make q stand except as to the
amount of money they will be able to
carry away from it-and they are al
most always very fortunate in this
respect.
AS a trade producer or stimulant'
benefiting the local merchant, the
carnival is apt to prove an unquestion-
able failure. II did so far as Dawson
is concerned. the merchants of the
city complaining, after the week OF
gaiety, that so far as they were able
to see the occasion had been OF no
benefit at all.
Those who believe so strongly in the
general efficacy and beneficial effects
of street fairs have thus far failed to
bring toward any convincing argu
meuts in support of their idea, and 1t
is high time they were up and doing II
the carniyals are not to be thing OF
the past, for the popularity of such
aggregations is fast waning, and now
the Georgia Legislature has taken a
hand, using high licenses as cudgel.
In Dawson, at least, the street fair
seems doomed, and considerably less
than deluge of tears will he shed at
It's obseQuies.

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

On Thursday night the retiring
mavor and city council OF Dawson hello
their last meeting, to be succeeded ol
the new mayor and board of aldermen,
though there is really only one new
face ON the board that OF Hon. A. M.
Raines.
Mavor Lowrey has made record as
chief executive of the city of which he
and his friends are pardonably proud.
His administration of municipal affairs
has been accomplished with ability
and dignity, and to the thorough salts
faction of his constituency.
Mr.. j. r. Mercer, who succeeds Mr.
Lowrey in the mayoralty, enters upon
the discharge of his duties with the
full confdence""of the people who

capability.
Every member of the board of alder
men constituting Mayor MERGERS OIL

to Dawson, and with the exception OF
Alderman Raines have been several
times reelected to their positions, dem
onstrating beyond doubt in what esti'
nation they and their services are
held. With such an administration,
Dawsonians may feel secure to rest
the affairs of the municipality.
Mr.. Frank Nasworthy, the retiring
member of the board of aldermen, was
not a candidate for reelection. He
has made one of the most competent
and faithful of the city fathers, and
his retirement was noted with regret
