PROF. HANKINSON RESIGNS.
Former Principal of Public Schools
Won't Return Next Year.

Prof. ]. r. Hankins0n, who has been
principal of the Dawson public schools
for the past two years, has rendered
his resignation to the city school board
stating that he would not return, to
this city, owing to the fact that he will
practice law in Augusta in the future.
The news of Professor Hankinson's
resignation will be learned with deep
regret by the people of Dawson. He
is one of the ablest teachers in the
state, and during his residence in this
city made hosts of friends il both his
professional and personal capacity.
Everyone here wishes great success
for him in his new field.
The school board has already receiV-
ed several applications for the place but
no action has yet been taken relative
to filing the vacancy. 1t is probable
that meeting of the board will be
held one day this week for that pur-
nose

POST OFFICE RECEIPTS
SHOW BIG INCREASE.
REPORT FOR LAST FISCAL YEAR FOR
WARDED BY CAPT. ALEXANDER.
increased Postal Business Shows Growth
of Dawson. Gain Not Sufficient to
Raise POstmasters Salary.

The postofice report for the fiscal
year, just ending, has been sent to the
department by Postmaster Alexander.
1t shows the largest volume of business
ever done by the Office, and is exceed
ingly in advance of the receipts of the
preceding year.
The total receipts of the office for
the period covered from July 1st, 1902,
to July LIST, 1908, are S5,5S6.32, while
those for the previous year were $4,-
9S8. 10, showing an increase of $59S22.
When it is taken into consideration
that the receipts of the fiscal year 1901
1902 were pnenominal in the history of
the office, it will be seen that the in
crease shown is an evidence of the
continual growth of the business of
the Office and reflection of the growth
of Dawson.
When the volume of the business
reaches $4,000 another hundred dollars
will be added to the post masters sal
airy, increasing it from Sl700 to 1880
per year. AS will be seen from the
above figures $413.98 only was needed
to demand this raise. There is no
doubt but what the business of the
Office will reach this figure next year.

Mr.. D. ". BROWN
CHARGED WITH ARSON
BURNING OF HIS STORE FRIDAY MORN.
ING LED TO HIS ARREST.
At Committal Trial Before Judge Nc.
lendOn Monday and Tuesday He
Was Released.

The store house and goods of Mr.. D.
w. Brown, who conducted mercan-
tile busi mess on Main street, north of
the Cnntral depot, was destroyed by
fire Friday morning about 4 o'clock.
The fire department responded to the
alarm promptly, but when it reached
the scene of the conflagration the store
had been almost totally destroyed, but
an adjacent storage house and bed
room was saved by the departments
efforts.
The contents of the store were in
sured for 1900, and alleged suspicious
circumstances led to MIR. Brown being
charged with burning the building for
the insurance A warrant was sworn
..out by Mr., E. ]. Cameron, chief of
the fire department. accusing him of
the crime of arson. and he was arrest
ed Friday afternoon. Mr.. Brown was
not locked up, however, but kept
under the surveillance of bailiff. A
committal trial was set for Saturday
afternoon, but was continued until
Monday afternoon, and Judge Sheffield
asked to preside at the hearing, but
be declined to do so, and the trial was
entered into Monday afternoon with
Judge F. M. McLendon presiding.
The trial was concluded at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning, and resulted in Mr.
Brown being released, the evidence
not being sufficient to commit him.
The prosecution based its case on
the contention that there were very
few goods in the burned building, and
that goods consisting of scales, syrup,
soap, corn, bicycles, tobacco and other
articles were stored in Mr.. Browns
bedroom, that the defendant was
dressed when party went to wake
him, and that the odor of kerosene
peryaded the building.
The defendants attorneys produc d
sufficient evidence in rebuttal to satisfy
the court of the defendants innocence,
and he was released. They offered
evidence to prove that Mr.. Brown
used the building opposite the one
burned regularly as a storage room
that he was awakened by the fire and
had sufficient time to dress before the
party went to wake him, that the kerr
osene odor originated from the kero-
sene can which was in blaze when
the fire department arrived, that
there were more than enough goods In
the building at the time of the fire to
cover the three-fourths value clause
of the insurance policy.
The case attracted much attention,
and the trial was largely attended.
Mr.. Browns friends feel gratited
that his innocence was so clearly es-
tablished.
