AS TO VETERANS LICENSE.
Confederate Veterans Must Con
duct Business Themselves.

Confederate veterans MUST NOH-
duct Business Themselves.
A ruling of much interest locally
has just been handed down by At
torney General Hart, growing out OF
the case of the city of Savannah
against Lewis Lippmau, who was
served with as6 ia in default of $50
license required for the running OF
ticket brokers' Office, in which the
question of the right of the veteran
allowing another to conduct business
under his license was submitted to the
attorney general for his decision.
Before the Savannah authorities
had taken any definite steps in the
matter the question was referred to
the attorney general, who held that 1t
is unlawful for veteran to make use
of veterans license for business he
does not conduct himself. 1t is possible
that the question will be taken up to
the supreme court.
The Dawson city council has had this
same question to confront them several
times and the ruling of Attorney Hart
has been carefully noted by them and
the city attorney.

CONNECTS BOLTED THE CAMP
TWO NEGROES OF THE COUNTY GANG
TAKE FRENCH LEAVE.
One Sneaked On During Noon Hour and
the Other Left at Night. Both Were
Caught and Returned to Camps.


During the past few days two prison
ers have escaped from the county
convict gang. Both have been recap
tured.
1t was during the dinner hour while
the gang was working four miles south
OF Dawson that Allen King, colored,
made his unceremoniOus adieu to his
colleagues and boIted. But he didn't
go far. Dogs were put on his track as
soon as his absence was discovered,
and be was captured on the same day
that he made his escape and is now
serving his slightly interrupted term
of "a months.
Josh Grimes, another negro, made
break for liberty Friday night and got
it for short time. Dogs were put on
his track and followed it for several
miles, but he was not Overtaken. Sat-
urday night he came to Dawson and
visited the house of negro woman.
His presence in the city was made
known to Policeman Hill, and in a
short time the negro was again in GUS
tody. Grimes is serving term OF
twelve months for larceny.
The superintendent of the camp
exercises as much vigilance as posi-
BILE under the conditions of confinement
which prevail, and it was through no
fault of his that the negroes escaped. .

Weak Hearts

are caused by indigestion. If you
eat a little too much, or if you are
subject to attacks of indigestion, the
stomach expands and putfs up
against the heart. This crowds the
heart and shortens the breath. Rapid
heart beats and heart disease is the
final result. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure

off the heart, cures indigestion, dys-

FOR LIGHT PLANT
IT HAS ARRIVED AND WILL SOON BE
INSTALLED.
A Monster Piece OF Machinery. Long
Period of Dark House Ahead. Plant
Equipment Now Entirely New.

equipment NUW EHIITety NbWs
The big engine which was bought
by The city some time ago at cost of
81, 900 is here. 1t came over the Sea-
board Friday and is now waiting to be
installed in the place of the old piece
OF machinery at the electric light
plant 1t is the newest improved Car
lis engine with a $50 horse power
one of the largest in this part of the
state, and is TO take the place of the l50
horse power engine which has been in
use at the plant since 1897.
The work of erecting the new engine
will be bugun next week. 1t Will take
several days to remove the old one and
lay the foundation for the newer piece
of machinery. When this is done
more than a week will be required to
get the latter into position.
This work will mean a lengthy
period of dark house for Dawson.
The eclipse is gong to begin in few
days and the period or totallty Will
start with the time the eclipse begins
and end when the work of placing the
machinery is finished. 1t is probable
that so far as electric lights are con-
cerned the.stygian darkness will con-
tinue for about three weeks. Dawson
must go back to the use of kerosene
for while at least.
AS soon as the new engine is INSTALL
ed. the machinery at the plant will be
practically new in it's entirety, at q
cost of over $4,000 During the past two
years, new equipment has been put in
and in addition to this new closed arc
lights have supplanted the old open
ones. The plant is one OF the best in
the state and Dawson has every right
to feel proud of its electric lighting
system.
