Department VIII Not Act.

The State Department will take no
steps to bring to the attention of the
Danish Government the charges against
the integrity of American statesmen
preferred by Capt. Walter Christmas
and brought to the attention of the
House of Representatives by Mr.. Rich
ardson.
The department regards the charges
as unworthy its attention by reason of
insufficient evidence and obvious error in
statements of alleged facts The de-
partment, it is said, is aware also that
the Danish Government does not intend
to pay one cent of the $4,000 claimed
by Christmas as his commission, so that
none of that money could be used to cor
rupt American Statesmen and news

VETERANS OFF.
They Left for Dallas With a
Crowd of Friends In
a Special Car.

Terrell County Camp, United Confed-
crate Veterans, with many of their
friends, left over the Central railroad
for the reunion at Dallas, Tex, in a
special car Saturday evening. The
car contained forty two passengers.
The train bearing the delegation
from Dawson and Terrell county pull
ed out on it's long journey at ten
o'clock more than three, hours late.
There were many at the depot
to see the special car and its hu-
man freight depart, and in the heart
of everyone present there was sim
cere desire that nothing but unalloyed
pleasure should greet The gallant old
remnant of the most heroic army whose
mighty deeds of daring prowess and
unparalleled fortitude are chronicled
in the history of the world.
On each side of the special car, ex-
tending from end to end, was a great
white streamer bearing the inscrip-
t1on "Ierrell County camp, NO. 4U4,
u. G. "" and the interior of the car
was prettily tastefully decorated with
artificial flowers of red and white, the
colors of the confcderacy.
Twenty-Five persons left for Dallas
from Dawson and neighboring towns
in advance of the special car. In all
10 tickets were sold to Dallas.
One special car, containing seven
coaches, pa sed through Dawson about
9 o'clock, but did not stop. Another
train, the one to which the special car
from Dawson was attached, came
through about ten o'clock.
The News has received letter from
member of the party, dated at New
Orleans, saying they had arrived in
the Creole City and was having fine
time. They left for Dallas Sunday
night. ard kilograms received yester-
day morning said that the party had
arrived safely in the Texas city.

IN THE SOCIAL REALM.

One of the most delightful social
events of this or any other season IN
Dawson was the entertainment given
by Miss Conner Carver at her hospit-
able home on Lee street Wednesday
afternoon of last week in honor OF the
betrothal of the guests of honor, Mr..
j. E. Mckenzie of Montezuma and
Miss Lizzie May Wooten of Dawson.
From o'clock in the evening until
the clocks chimed the midnight hour
the invited guests made merry. The
ingenious hostess provided games
which were at once interesting and
amusing. In the preliminary game,
the kissing" contest, Mr.. A. Merrell
Brown won the prize. This was fol-
lowed by the ''game of hearts," played
with cards, in which lady and gentle
mans prize were given. The first
went to Miss Mary Wall, and the
second to Mr.. r. l.. Saville.
Miss Carver used color scheme OF
pink 'and white, and pink cream and
white cake were served as refresh
ments. Heart-shaped score cards
were given the gentlemen present,
while those oflthe young ladies rep
resented wedding bells.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1902-04-23

the town and county will soon be call.
ed, as stated in last weeks News, and
the work of soliciting subscriptions to
the enterprise will probably be begun
at that time, and will be in charge of
one of the most prominent merchants
of the city.
Those heading the movementent
already have assurances that the
subscriptions will be many and liberal;
in fact, they have reasonable homes
that all the money necessary for the
establishment of the industry can be
obtained without going outside the
county for further aid.
1t is needless to say that the people
of Dawson and Terrell county should
not let slip this opportunity for up
building and advancement. 1t will
be home industry, supported wholly
or almost entirely by home capital and
managed by home brains and business
ability.
Dawson has needed cotton factory
for years and years, and now that the
opportunity to erect one is here it will
be surprising indeed if it is not taken
advantage of.
