Gently resigned the pastorate OF the

WINE DRINKS MUST GO.
Uncle Sam Lays a Hand on the
Soda Fountains.

The days Of the seductive punch,
claret phosphates, sherry phosphates
and similar drinks are numbered. So
say some of the local druggists. The
reason for this is that Uncle Sam has
said so, and the soda fount proprietors
! are not inclined to buck this decision.
True the alternative is offered of pay
ing the special tax of liquor dealer,
but the dealers say there Is not enough
money in these particular drinks to
warrant their paying the tax.
The decision of the government is
embodied in circular 636 to collectors
of internal revenue and revenue
agents. 1t says the department has
come to the conclusion that a more
stringent ruling is required in regard
to the sale by druggists and others of
beverages called claret soda and other
drinks sold at soda fountains and con-
tanning distilled spirits of wine or
compounds thereof.
Each collector is required to give i'm
mediate notice to each druggist or con-
fectioner concerned in his district that
the special tax of retail liquor dea er
will be required of any person who
sells these drinks. Collectors are re-
quired to furnish the parties concern
ed with copy of the ruling. Some OF
the dealers ave received the notice
while Others have not, but 1t is a set
tied thing that they will all have to
pay the tax or stop selling these kind
of drii ks.

COMMISSION COMPLAINS.
Handlers, Not the Pas
Sengers, Are Accommodated.

The people of Dawson will be inter-
ested in the recent action of the rail
road commission in sending letters to
all the railroads of the state asking
that instructions be given employees to
stop the trains with passenger coaches
nearer the station and not cause pas
sengers to alight far from the prepared
place. They claim that the trains are
stopped to accommodate the baggage
handlers and not the passengers.
PASSENGERS coming into or leaving
Dawson will be much gratified If such
instructions are given and executed,
as it will do away with the inconven-
fence at present experienced.

TRIBUTE TO MRS. MOORE.
Home Mission Society Pays Res
pect to Its Founder.

Resolutions adopted by the Home
Mission Society of the Dawson Metho-
dist Church in memory of Mrs. Clara
f. Moore, who departed this life in
Oct. 1902.
Here we have no continuing city,
but we seek one to come" These
words were indeed true in the case of
our beloved sisted, who short time
ago was called by her Master to come
up higher to live with Him in "a house
not made with hands, external in the
Heavens" 1t was by the efforts of
this noble woman that the Home Mis-
sion Society was organized in Dawson.
She was so enthusiastic in the work
that she was ever on the alert to ex-
tend its growth; and six years ago,
while on a visit TO relatives here (the
home of her young womanhood) she
determined to SOW seed for the Master
and organized n Home Mission Society,
enrolling her own name as a member,
and as long as she lived prayed Gods
blessing upon the work which has
grown stronger year by year. 'She
rests from her labors and her works
do follow her."
Therefore be it resolved. 1st, That
in the death of Mrs. Clara E. Moore
the Home Mission Society has lost a
faithful, Jealous and praying member;
and while we sincerely mourn her loss
we take comfort in the thought that
henceforth we have another represent
alive at the great Home Mission Con-
ference above.
2. In behalf of this band of Christ
ian workers in Dawson we extend our
tenderest sympathy to her loved ones
and pray God that this affection may
work out for then "a far more exceed
ing and eternal weight of glory"
3. That these resolutions be en-
tered on our record book, and that the
same be published in The Dawson
News and in the Home Mission de-
partment of our church paper, the
Wesleyan Advocate.

WHITE MAN STEALS HORSE.
Terrell County Negro Is Victim
of a Thief in Dawson.

The Albany Herald contains the fol-
lowing account of horse and buggy
being stolen from Jim Lovings, ne
gro farmer of this county, it is alleged,
by white man. This is an unusual
feature of the case. as occurrences are
rare where white man steals from a
negro:
'On Monday night bay mare and
set of harness belonging to Jim Low
ings, a negro farmer from Terrell
county, were stolen from the wagon
yard of A. w. Muse & Co. The mare
had been left there over night and
when Jim went for her she was not in
the stall. The harness was also miss
ing, so it was clear that the mare was
stolen.
"The matter was reported to the off.
GERS and they located the mare late
last night in the possession of a white
man named Nun Odom. Odom states
that he met a negro named Henry
Smith on the river bridge Monday
night and that Henry had the mare
and harness and told him he wished to
sell them, whereupon he paid him 70
and watch for the horse and harness.
OdOm says that the negro, Smith, lives
in Leesburg.
"The officers think that Odom' story
Is very snaky, and they will hold him
for futher investigation.

GO TO q BOTTOM.

The commissioners in GuilfOrd county
purchase at about $4OO, whereas it really
amounted to eight times as much. The
Wake county commissioners should make
complete investigation as to the daily
sales of all the saloons, as the Guilford
commissioners did. By pursuing that
method they found that the liquor deal
ers ought to have paid eight times as
much tax on purchases as they actually
paid.
The purchases reported in Raleigh for
six months indicate that this city is not
so wet as appearances would Indicate.
Elsewhere We publish the purchases re-
turned by every dealer in Raleigh. It
may be possible that some of them have
made mistakes, as two of them admitted
yesterday, as to the method of making
returns. Some others may not have been
careful to add up correctly a list of their
purchases. A thorough investigation as
to the amount of sales would correct any
errors of omissions. The investigation
ought to be made as full in Wake as in
Guilford.
The State Auditor is doing his duty in
pressing this matter upon the commits
sioners and they should go to the bottom
in every county.

A PARADISE FOR FOLKS WISHING
DIVORCES.

Those people who insist upon lax di-
vorce laws in North Carolina are, per-
haps, trying by steady degrees to give this
State the same laws and customs that OBJ
tain in Japan. A pcrusal of the court
records in North Carolina show that
divorces in this State are increasing
rapidly, thanks to the lax laws which are
b i-ennially made more lax. For the bene-
fit of future legislators, who may wish
to make divorces still more easy. we
print below an extract from the divorce
conditions that prevail in Japan, as de-
scribed by Mr.. Ernest w. Clement in the
American Journal Of Sociology. He
writes:
Divorces can be obtained in Japan in
two ways. The first is "by arrange
ment"-in other words, by mutual consent
when both parties wish to part company
all they have to do is to have the regis
tration of their marriage cancelled. They
can also agree what to do with the chill
dren, but if they fail to make such an
agreement the law settles the matter for
them. There is no scandal, and no need
for either party to ask the other to furn-
ish grounds for a separation.
In the absence of a mutual agreement
to part, either party can get a judicial
divorce on a liberal. list of grievances, in
Guiding "cruel treatment or grave insult
such as to render living together unbear-
able and "cruel treatment or gross in
suit of or by lineal ascendants''-in other
words. mothers-in-law. A man who is
insulted by his mother-in-law can get a
divorce, and a man who insults his
mother-in-laW can be divorced by his
