The trouble arose, it is said, over
the fact that Perry & Roberts, from
whom Mrs. White ordered supply of
cotton seed hulls, asked Mr.. Lewis TO
deliver them to her, they not hav-

White, hearing this, declared that she
did not want anything that came from
Mr. Lewis store. She says in re-
ply to this that Mr.. Lewis sent her a
message of an insulting nature.
Determined upon revenge she drove
into Dawson in buggy, accompanied
by her young son. Alighting from
the vehicle she went into Mr.. Lewis
store. That gentleman saw her COM

to place himself out of her way. 1t

lows:
EDITOR OF THE DAWSON NEWS:
We ask you for space to express our
appreciation of Mr.. Calvin, and other
members of the legislature who sup
ported his measure, for the new va
grancV act. We congratulate him for
what we believe to be a wise and hon
est measure, and we welcome the law.
Had such law been enacted 30 years
tago the penitentiary and chaingangs
would be minus many of their inmates
today, and the state would be many
thousands of dollars better off. We are
glad to know that under this law the
people of Georgia must work or emf
CRATE. We claim that it is an honest
law, and regret to learn that some of
the lawyers have announced that they
will test the act before the supreme
court. We hope that report is like
Hanna's pension bill, only joke.
We are not willing to support class
of idlers who, through idleness and
loafng, commit crimes that buckshot
and winchester balls have to be used
in the settlement of. We hope that
every true citizen of both races will
insist that ting vagrancy act stand just
as it is.
This letter is from colored people OF
Terrell county, and if you will publish
it we will highly appreciate the favor.
