matism for many years, during which
time l tried many remedies. from
which l received but very little relief.
Being advised to use St Jacobs Oil,
l did so, and am happy to say that
after a few applications l felt great
relief, and continuing its use can
now say l am perfectly we'll. St.
Jacobs Oil is, in my opinion. thing
which should be in every household
What a blessing. and what hours OF
suffering, pain and misery would
have been saved had Mr. Moore
adopted the wiser course and used
ST. Jacobs Oil at first, instead OF
wasting time and money on worthless
embrocations and nostrums with
which. unfortunately. the market is

WAKE UP, DAWSON.

The Boston Globe, realizing the in
evltable, says with truth and frank
ness:
The south will soon lead the world in
cotton manufacture. That the sceptre
is gradually being wrested from us is
easy TO figure, and at the present rate
of progress eight years will suffice TO
swing the balances south. The 18TH
milan canal will benefit the south more
than the north. There is no escaping
the economic law that where a product
can he manufactured lowest there IL is
bound to be manufactured. The cot
toa factory JnaC 10 nearest the cotton
tields will win in the long run. All
this does not imply that. manufacture
will ever cease TO flourish in the north,
but cotton mar ufacture must gradually
drift TO where the raw material is
cheapest produced. Competition is so
close nowadays that there is no escape
from it. Fifty years ago. such trans;
formation would have never been
thought possible. The south and the
north are changing hands, but the
north will not suffer by it.in The end.
Where is Dawson's cotton factor,
the one which was being so rapid!
erected a few months ago: There
is no question that there is both
money and progress enough among the
citizens of Dawson and Terrell county
to build a cotton factory, or two OF
them if necessary. Every sensible,
logical person realizes the invaluable
benefits 10 be derived from such an en-
terprise.
The cotton factory is ours by grace
of proper effort Lets have ''some'
thing doing" and right away at that.

USEFUL CITIZEN AND CHURCHMANA BURGLAR

ey, iewels-in fact, anything which he
could turn into cash. He stole from
his fellow members and from his best
friends. He spared no one on account
of friendship.
He was caught in this way: A miller
near Chester had been missing grain
and feed from his mill, and being una
BILE to catch the thief set spring gun.
And Adams was the victim of the gun.
He was shot in the leg. He managed
to get home, but was traced. The
community was of course surprised to
find that he was the thief. Little by
little his story came out, and great
was the establishment of the people to
find that their friend and neighbor-
The man who had posed as the good
and charitable man of the town and
county-had been thief for Is years
and more.
He said that he stole for amusement.
Some men, he said, found pleasure
in one form of amusement and some in
another. His pleasure was in stealing
and hearing the comments on his eX-
ploits as thief. Never in his life did
he steal because he was in want. AS a
matter of fact he always had all the
money he needed. He stole for the
pleasure it gave him. Will he feel
that the pleasure he received will be
full compensation for the punishment
he will have to endure?

The strangest things in fiction are
matched by strange. things In real lie.
When Stevenson's remarkable story,
"Dr. Jekyl and Mr.. HYDE" made it's
appearance but few thought there ever
had been or would be anything lie it
in real life, and yet there has been
man discovered in Vermont who has
been living q double life for more than
fifteen years. To the world he was a
good man and a very useful citizen.
AS a matter of fact he was one of the
most successful burglars ever known
in that part of New England.
The name of this man who has play
ed the part of DR.. JekYl and Mr.. Hyde
is Clarence A. Adams, and his home is
near Chester, Vt. He is wealthy
farmer, a member of the church and a
regular attendant upon divine worship.
He has been a member of the Vermont
legislature and has held all of the va
rious Offices of his county. Until he
was caught it was not suspected that
he was hardened thief.
Even his wife did not know that he
lived double life. 1t is true that he
often brought his plumber to his own
home, but he gave his wife satisfac-
tory excuse for the possession of arti-
Giles that it was unreasonable for him
to have. Even when member of the
legislature he stole whatever he could
without taking too great risk-mon-

JUST A WORD.

This sweltering weather brings to
mind matter concerning when Inc
News has spoken earnestly and repeat
edly, viz: public park. Everyone
old folks, young folks, middle-aged
folks, married folks, single folks, ba-
bies, dogs and baby carriages-would
think life vastly more worth living II
they had a park wherein they might
rest and while away the tempus while
it is fighting so slowly these diaboli'
cally hot days.
Not that Dawson is lacking in pleas
ure resorts. The very insinuation is
absurd, as stroll in any direction Will
convince the visitor. Perambulate
west for half mile from the
center of the city aud before your adj
miring eyes will be displayed scene
of beauty. It's unruffled bosom calm
and untroubled, lies the lower culVert,
disturbed only occasionally by a change
in position by some complacent wig
gle tail or water bug.
About the same distance to the east
may be seen a sight of almost idenSi-
cal beauty-the upper culvert-the only
appreciable difference being that here
may be found a greater number of mos
quitoes.
North of the city very short DIS
lance is the waterworks station, hav-
ing something of counterpart In the
lanyard creek just south of the city.
1t would require committee of expert
Judges to decide which of the two last
named places exceed as to beauty,
GOODNESS and general attractiveness.
There is no dearth of such charming
places in Dawson, but let's have a
park, too. 1t won't hurt.

THE sLEDD INCIDENT.

DR.. Andrew Sledd, professor of
Latin in Emory college, has ten
dered his resignation. DR.. Sledd's re.
tirement from the faculty is due to the
adverse criticisms of him, made be-
cause of an article over his signature
in the Atlantic Monthly concerning
the negro question in the south.
Professor Sledd's resignation will be
acceptable not only to the Emory
trustees, but to the state at large. His
article in the Atlantic Monthly called
forth the righteous Indignation of ev-
ery loyal southerner who perused its
columns, reading as it cid more like
the fanatical views of some northern
agitator than those OF a southern man
a man who married into family whose
patriotism and reverence for the south
and its traditions is proyerbial, and a
man occupying clair in one OF the
states leading educational institu-
tions.
Professor Sledd is extremely care
less in his ill-directed observa'
tious, or else he has exhibited
a profound and pititul ignorance OF
the conditions really existing. Thai
his views as expressed in the magazine
article are erroneous and harmful
there can be no doubt.

Five Southwest GeOraians Who Weigh

Five gentlemen of this and ad ioining
counties happened to meet at Living

whose aggregate weight was 1917

each.
The members and respective
weights of this impromptu fat mans
party were:

3l4 pounds. -.
Hon. J. B. Palmer, of Mitchell, 300
pounds.
Mr.. S. J. w. Livingston, of Albany,
248 pounds.

pounds.
Judge John O. Perry, of Baker, 2l5

1t is not often that five men of such
proportions and advOidupOis are
thrown together by chance, and the
meeting yesterday attracted attention
and comment.
Did you know, by the way, that we
have more big men here in southwest
Georgia than any part of the state :?

As to Mr.. BRYAN.
From the Athens Tribune.

From the Athens Tribune
The chances for democratic success
in the presidential election IN 1904 de-
pend upon circumstances entirely
within the control OF the democrats OF
the country. They may improve or
mar those chances just as they desire.
If they desire 10 win they will cease
abusing pas leaders and get together
upon vital issues; if they wish TO wage
losing battle, they will continue to
stir up factional difference.
While MIR. William j. Bryan is not
in the least presidential possibility,
there is no denying the fact that ne is
a potent factor in democratic affairs.
He is the same man for whom SIX and
q half million votes were cast IN 1SOO;
he is just as good democrat now as
he was then. He may have been
shorn of some prestige by two success
I've defeats, but that he is a strong,
yirtuous, unimpeachable statesman
goes without saying. The democracy
gains nothing, it rather loses much, hy
the continued attacks upon Mr.. Bryan
in different sections of the country.
Had Mr.. Bryan won in 1900 he
would have made a great president,
and the democracy of this country
from one end TO the other would nave
hailed him as second Jefferson. His
two defeats take him ont of the field OF
presidential possibilities, but surely
he is entitled to immunity from at
tack by those who once acclaimed him
as a leader,
