Alaska's Great Future.

The Skagway Alaskan says that at a meeting of the Skagway cham Der of commerce a long letter was read from Gen. A. w. Greeley, in which the chief of the United States signal service portrayed a great and everlasting future for Alaska. The general said that large wealthy population would inhabit this Northern country and that it would develop along lines little dreamed oi by those now engaged in con- merce. mining, fisheries and lum- bering. He also paid glowing tribute to the great army of pioneers who are redeeming the country for civilization.

Our worthy neighbor, the Min ing Journal asks the Sentinel to ad- vance one reason that could be advanced against territorial organ ization for Alaska. All right neigh DOT, just one: How many PER- MANENT residents has Alaska? In the language of the comedian the people are "here tomorrow and gone ioday;;" in other words they are migratory; like the birds they spend their summers in Alaska but
 1ce to other climes for winter, and hence cannot be classed az perma- nent fixtures. Until this ceases and Alaska has healthy, bona fide population, she needs no territorial

ELECTRICITY vs.. TICKS.
Boston Man Has a Desire to Rid
Georgia of Pests.

Commissioner of Agriculture Stew
ems has received a letter from man
in Boston, Mass, who says he has a
process for DISCRIMINATING ticks-the
kind that make burden to cattle in
various sections. He uses electricity
and desires to know if the department
of agriculture can afford him an op-
portunity of making practical test
in Georgia. 1t is understood that his
offer will be taken under advisement,
although Assistant Commissioner
Wright stated that he did not know
what would be done about the matter
Andrew Nimmo is the name of the
man who says he has successful plan
whereby he is able to put the festive
ticks out of business. The tick, it is
thought, is often the means of trans
hitting the dreaded Texas fever to
cattle, and the subject is, therefore, of
no little interest to the farmers of the
state.

WATSON TELLS OF INJUSTICE TO SOUTH
Distinguished Georgian Dawson Audience spebound or
Two Hours as He the Animus of Northern His
torians Had Facts o Support His Claims

Hon. Thomas e. Watson delivered
his lecture on "The South" at the
opera house Wednesday evening.
1t was the strongest and most elo-
ouent lecture ever delivered in Daw-
son. and the facts about the part play
ed by the south in the history OF the
country, 80 forcefully and entertaining
lv portrayed by Mr.. Watson, was
revelation to many of those present,
Nothing to approach it had ever been
heard in Dawson, and for two hours he
held the rapt attention of his audi
ence.
The burden of his discourse is to
show that the south has been persist
emily misrepresented IN the pages OF
American history; that southern boys
and girls have been and are still being
taught the history of their country
from text books written from the
standpoint of the north, and which
are guilty of gross misrepresentation
and injustice to this section.
Taking Plymouth Rock and the land
ing of the Mayhower as oasis, Mr.
Watson showed that jamestown ante
dated that event, which has been
ding-donged into the minds of 'the
children for nearly two centuries, and
he gave glowing description of what
had occurred at that ancient town on
the James river, where the first local
self-government was organized on this
continent, and where the first demo
cratic principles were enunciated.
He led his hearers along through the
mazes of history that have teen hid
den from the eye of the school boy and
girl and which is today even known
only to the antiquary and the searcher
after truth who delves in mustY
archives and looks beyond the preface
of things. He told of things that are
not in the histories written by north
ern writer's, and illustration after IL
lustratlOu of the part southern men
took in the formation and the progress
of this country during the trying times
of the revolution against Great Brit
ain were given in such mastery way
and with truth emblazoning every
word that the audience often inter-
rupted him with generous applause. 1t
is safe to say that the celebrated ride
of General Israel Putnam and that of
Paul Revere will never again have the
same significance in the minds of that
audience they once had. These two
events, which have adorned the pages
of history so long and been the theme
of poets and the inspiration of paint
ers, were so completely laid bare that
never again will they shine with the
same brilliancy.
The romance was knocked complete
ly out of the Boston tea party episode,
and the claim that the battle of Sara
toga was the turning point in the war
of independence was made utterly
ridiculous. Never was more scathing
arraignment of pretentious claim to
superiority in patriotism made any
where.
His reference to the negro was es-
peclallY enjoyed, particularly what he
said about Teddy and Booker. He as
serted that the race problem was one
for the south to settle alone, and one
that would be settled by the south in
