HANNA'S PENSION BILL.
Has Excited Eager Anticipation
Among, Negroes.

The bill introduced in the senate by
Senator Hanna to pension ex-slaves
has attracted much attention and been
discussed with great interest in Daw-
son. Especially is this true among
the older negroes, who would be bene-
ficiaries of the measure, and papers
containing an account of the bill have
been eagerly sought after by them.
Many white citizens, too, favor the
bill for the reason, they say, that it
would cause millions of dollars to be
distributed in the south, and there
fore naturally help business. The
concensus of opinion is, however, that
it is only bold bid by Senator Hanna
for the southern delegates in the next
national republican convention.
The bill provides that ex-slaYes over
so years of age and under CO., whether
male or female, shall receive a cash
bounty of 500 and a monthly pension
of IS; ex-slaves between so and 70
years of age cash bounty of $500 aud
a pension of S12 per month; ex-slaves
over 70 years of age cash bounty of
$500 and a pension of SIS per month
The bill also provides for the payment
Of the bounty and pension to persons
CHARGED with the care of ex-slaves.

the premium on them.
The bonds are held by Chicago
firm, and although it has been ascer'
talned through correspondence that
they are willing to sell them it Is by
no means certain that they will accept
the offer made by the county.
Terrell is perhaps the only county
in the history of the state that has
been in a position TO buy its own bonds
several years before they mature.
The commissioners are satisfied that
with the money already on hand aud
the income of the county during the
year they can buy these bonds and
still levy no tax next fall.
Terrell has not only been a record
breaker in a financial way for the past
several years, but has been a wonder
to the other counties of the state in
every way that denotes growth and
substantial progress.

COCACOLA NOT TAXED
Council Seems to Have Changed
Its Attitude Toward the
Popular Beverage.

The council, who had Coca Cola un-

threatened to tax it out of existence SO
far as Dawson was concerned, seem to
have modified their views as to the
popular beverage.
Their meeting last Tuesday night
was the time appointed for it to be
definitely determined whether tax of
$500 would be imposed upon each soda
fount where the beverage is dispensed,
but the matter did not come up at all
and the solons took no action.
1t is believed that the council has
dropped the matter entirely, and that
nothing further will be heard of it.

Good
Tasting
Medicine

Cod liver oil is in universal re.
pute as the best body builder IN
wasting diseases, and the best
reconstruction in recovery from
severe sickness known to medicine.
Nevertheless, three-fourths of
the people are really made sick by
the taste and smell of cod liver oil.
Hall of them can't take it. Their
stomachs either reject it, or are so
upset by it that the dose does
more harm than good.
Vinol is the only preparation of
cod liver oil which contains no
grease or bad taste yet does con-
tain all the virtue of cod liver
oil, and is deliciously palatable. 1t
also contains organic iron. Iron
gives quality to the blood. Almost
every ailing person needs it.
The combination of these two
elements with table wine is both
scientific and effective. 1t has
accomplished wonderful things
right here in town. We think
we are doing a service to every
rundown, ailing, coughing, ner-
vous, debiltated person in calling
attention to Vinol. We sell it on
its merits money back if it does
not help you. You run no risk.
Old people revive under its inhu-
ence. Nursing mothers and over
worked people get new vitality.
