THE BOND ELECTION TODAY
MUCH INTEREST IS MANIFESTED BY
CITIZENS IN RESULT.
Election to Be Held in County Court
Room. Polls Open at 7 O'clock.
Names of Managers.

The citizens of Dawson will vote to-
day on the question as to whether
bonds shall be issued for the cleo ton
of q new school building or improve
ment of the present school house.
The result of the election is being
discussed with much animation and is
awaited with interest, especially by
those who are anxious to see the bonds
carry and feel that this will be posi-.
bly, the only opportunity for some time
to authorize their being issued for this
purpose. The registration books show
that there are 352 citizens who will be
entitled to vote in the election, and it
will thus be necessary to obtain 235
votes, two-thirds of the registration
list, to authorize the bonds.
The polls will be opened this morn
ing at seven o'clock and viii be closed
at six in the afternoon. The man
ayers of the election will be Judge

LOWER INSURANCE RATES
CUT or $3.50 PER THOUSAND PROM
ISED FOR DAWSON.
Representative Cooge Here Looking Into
the Situation. FavorabIy Impressed
With the Fire Department.

1t is probable that Dawson will soon
have new insurance rate, which will
mean the saving Of thousands of dol
lars every year to the policy holders.
Mr.. j. L. Googe of Atlanta, special
agent of the Southeastern Tariff Asso-
citation, was in Dawson last week for
the purpose of looking into the ques-
ton of lowering the rates for this
point, and spent several days in
going carefully over the situation and
arranging prospective table Of rates
to be in conformity with the protec-
tion afforded by paid tre department
and waterworks.
He looked into the fire department
with care and reviewed the records of
losses and risks kept by Chief Came
ron, announcing at the conclusion OF
his Investigation that he was very ia
vorably impressed with the depart
meut, and that 80 far as it's work was
concerned lower rates should be forth
coming soon.
AS far as The News is able to gather
there is but one obstacle in the way of
immediate reduction. That is the fact
that the waterworks company has had
at the pumping station but one boiler.
If the company maintained duplicate
boiler the cut in rates would be GER
tainty. A new boiler has recently
been installed al the station, but it is
a question as to whether the insurance
companies will accept the old boiler as
a duplicate. This is the way the mat
ter now stands and the whole question
is whether or not the boiler will be &C.
cepted. In the event it is not, it is
probable that the waterworks company,
after the litigation between it AND the
city is settled, will install another
boiler.
1t will thus be seen that the reduc-
ton in rates is a practical certainty,
although it may be delayed for som
time yet. The cut will be decided
one when it does come, rate of at
least $3.50 per thousand or less being
indicated. This will mean the saving OF
thousands of dollars annually to those
who carry insurance in Dawson, and
will far outbalance the amount eXpend
ed tor a paid fire department.

ParIous Times.

There are other harbingers Of spring
besides a robin sitting on the ridgepole
calling for rain, frog concert after sun
down, cloud burst of congressional
garden seeds or a game OF marbles on the
least wet spot in a muddy world.
There are grave signs OF a domestic up
heaval more to be dreaded than South
American revolution, which it eclipses
completely in the matter OF oyerturning
all established law and order. The chief
agitators are distinguished by calico
gowns in pastel shades of blue and pink
with now and then an irregular applique
OF the original color to cover an exposed
fracture in the material; their heads are
decorated with folds Of the brilliant BAN
danna or surmounted by a bewitching
mob-cap, and in their eyes CLEANS the
madness that finds vent in paroxysm OF
spring cleaning.
They seize the reins OF government with
no uncertain hand and develop a perfect
genius for command. Everybody within
the sphere OF their influence is pressed into
service. and the executive ability OF any
one of them is sufficient to keep six men
and a boy working themselves to death
for week doing nothing.
The house is first torn to pieces as much
as the present style of architecture Will
allow, but sometime il is hoped that the
frame work of dwellings will be so con-
gtructed that il can be taken apart eashA
and the timbers bathed in a strong solu-
ton OF soft soap twice year. Nov, UNI
happily, il is only possible to excoriate the
walls and get down as far as the plaster
ing. while the dust between the clap
boards and the lath is entirely out OF
reach.
Carpets are up, curtains down, windows
out. castings off, stovepipe apart ana fresh
ly scrubbed floors and woodwork so damp
that the cat finds. like the first dove sent
ont of the ark, no rest for the sole OF her
foot. and in fit of melancholia attempts
To end her sorrows in the mop-pail. Dur
ing this period of unspeakable wretched-
ness. the family eat IN dour silence what IS
set before them, asking no questions Tor
conscience sake, and make haste to escape
from the precincts Of what wool-worked,
cardboard motto calls "Home, Sweet
Home.u before they can be asked in COM
handing tones to shake few rugs, beat
a CARPET. clean the stovepipe or help carry
heavy coal stove up two flights of stairs
into back attic.
After the frenzy OF the revolutionary
leader has somewhat spent itself ana
those under her generalshlp are ON the
verge OF collapse, order again evolves out
Of chaos. but for month after II IS not
safe to wander around the house after
dark without light; for not an identical
niece of furniture stands where 1t stood
before. and even the dishes in the cup
board look as though they had been sud-
denly arrested in the middle OF plain
quadrille.
