1Ion. Pleasant A. StoVall, VINO oellV-
ored the Memorial address in Dawson,
roon returning nome printed the fol-
,owip account in his paper the Sa'
uorrah Press, of his trip to Dawson.
:. nos Mr.. Stovall's first visit to south
root Georgia, and what he saw and
,oorned while in this section was cyl
dootlv revelation to him:
"a TRIP TO TERRELL.

t,v I; is the home of the melon and
neacb. The pine forests have been
-. nm and the saw mills after awhile
will commence to move. But the gray
lands are growing fine truck and rich
naavines. The Jersey cow is increas-
inn and orchards are springing up.
This is Terrell county, with its sand
loan and red top dressing. The land
nrdulates in long swells. Bermuda in
abundance is giving rise to improved
stock. The old water mills are being
supplanted by steam factories and Oil
refueries. Cane and chickens are
abundantly in evidence, and there IS
every indication of growth from grape
farms to grist mills. The county is
named for DR.. William Terrell, who
at onp time was a member of congress
from Georgia. The town of Dawson,
with something over 5000 people, was
founded As years ago. 1t has three
banks, electric lights, a paid fire de-
nartment and a new and handsome
court house, worth about $4,000, Two
railroads, the Central and Seaboard,
cross each other, diagonally travers-
inc the county. Terrell county gins
$1,000 bales Of cotton and has about
$4,000 people within its limits. The
county is noted for having three dis
pensaries, which pay all the public ex-
penses. The town of Dawson went in
with Bron wood and SassAr and made
common cause with them. Each place
was given dispensary and the county
went overwhelmingly for this plan.
1t would be hard to shake the system,
although Sam Jones occasionally goes
down and arraigns it. Several towns
in Georgia have lost on this issue be-
cause they have tried to monopolize
the dispensary and draw the trade
from other neighborhoods by selling
liquor There was an effort in the
last legislature to tax dispensarles
81 900 each. Athens and Rome might
have stood this, but the three small
dispensaries in Terrell county would
have gone out of business, so the tax
was lowered and "the penalty made to
fit the crime"

Dawson is one of the prettiest towns
in the STATE. There are many beauti-

waterworks, which have finally gotten

papers-The News and the Recorder.

of The News, which is the older and
larger paper, and one of the most in

complete plant and pretty home, and

ELECTRIC RAILROAD FRAN

Mr.. Thos. Hyde, OneOf the electric
line promoters, was driven over the
lefty one day last week. We are in
formed that these promoters are not
capitalists but only ordinary lawyers
out trying to make an honest aullar
by securing this franchise and selling

that will put up the money to build
and equip the road.
This intermediate man business
may be necessary. 1t may be absolute

the enterprise. We hardly think so,
but possibly 1t is to hasten the thing
along. If IL Is we are 10 favor Of the

lars and are willing to start the enter
prise at once with their own money,
have the franchise That would make
Chanute the business end OF the con-
Germ instead of lola. We think that
would be altogether better for us.
To be plain about the matter, since
IL seems that there must be rake of
somewhere, why not give II TO our own
citizens and let it be spent here in
stead of at the other end OF the line?
No one thinks for minute that these
gentlemen are not aiming to make
some money out of the franchise. We
think this franchise is worth consd
cradle money. 1t will be worth a
good deal more In few years. Why
should the city give its legitimate
rights away in this matter without a
A whole lot OF money is sometimes
paid to secure such valuable rights.
We nope our council won't appear TOO
anxious TO give this valuable right
a way to stranger. If it is to be Civ.

more OF US will stand a chance to get
a pull at the profits But let's not

A YounE Detective.

There is a ~ten-year-old boy in Boston
whose mother thinks he is destined to
become a noted detective. One day he
was begging for permission to try his
hand at mending IL broken umbrella
over which his father was working, and
at last he was sent out of the room on
an errand.
When he returned, his father and
mother were talking, and the umbrel-
la had vanished.
II know where you've put it." he said
after a glance around the room. you've
put it in that closet, and"-
"Well, where else should | put it,"
demanded the father impatiently. But
the mother waited for her boy to fin
ish.
II know it's there" he said triumph
antly. because whenever you open the
closet door that photograph on the end
of the bookshelf falls down, and it's
down now. And know it was father
put it in, for mother would have stood
the picture up again."-Youth,s Com

An interesting demonstration of tht
intelligence of the I'M was made by 8
student in the biological department OF
the University of Pennsylvania. The
young Ia construct ID a roadway two
feet in length of metal and divided il
into two parallel paths. separated by a
high partition. One of the paths he
painted red and the other blue, and al
their end, in plain view, he put a nor
sci Of rich cake, says the Philadelphia
Record. Then he set an ant at the be
ginning of the roadway. The ant at
once made for the cake over the red
path, w%hereupon the student turned on
a lamp under his mechanism and heat,
ed the path to IN uncomfortable de.
gree. The ant kept on and finally Sc.
cured the cake, but on it's return ii
must have told itself that it had had q
mighty uncomfortable journey. Several
hours later the student brought it out
again, another morsel of cake being set
at the end Of the roadway. The ant
thought a moment and then started for
the cake over the blue path. 1t re-
membered that the red one had been
hot. To prove still more c~onclusively
that it remembered, the student next
blocked up the blue path. whereupon
the ant did without the cake rather
than venture after it by the red one.

but failure after failure was
