Ought not the law to make it entirely clear
that neither corporations nor individuals have
a right to bar doors and other entrances to po-
licemen or hremen IN cases of railroad accl-
dents alarms OF fire? OF late there have
been several instances of annoying interference
with the members of the two departments VINO
anxious only TO do their duty. TO aid the
injured and to protect property and life. 1t is
difficult to see what sufficient reason there can
be for such interference.

tho auspices of the same man. Mr.. Loree was
the president Of the Baltimore and Ohio Com

lives reported Wednesday. From the fact
that he has just changed his official relations
his share OF responsibility for either disaster

the facts.

RACK FROM ST. LOUIS.
Mr. Stevens Went TO Straighten
Out a Tangle.

Hon. O. B. Stevens, commissioner
Of agriculture, has returned from st.
T.ouis. where he went to make 1nal
arrangements about the Georgia ex-
bibit and the Georgia building at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition. One
Of the chief objects Of Mr.. Stevens trip
was to ssraighten out the tangle rel
alive to the cotton seed meal and cot
ton oil exhibit.
"The exposition management" Mr.
Stevens SAYS, "wanted to shut out this
cotton oil exhibit because it claimed
that the Southern Cotton Oil Company,
after having contracted for space on
its own account, was now seeking to
make its exhibit through Georgia. We
showed that this was incorrect, and
that all of the exhibit was to come
from the cotton oil refinery at Savan-
nah. 1t is to be distinctly Georgia
exhibit, showing the gathering OF the
cotton seed and the entire process up
to the finished product. This exhibit
will be in the agricultural building"
The construction Of the Georgia
building will probably be started this
week.

SPRING OPENINGS NOW ON.
Streets Are Thronged With Eager
and Expectant Femininity.

The spring openings of Dawson are
on.
This means that Terrell county's
capital city, which long ago became a
trade center of no mean magnitude, is
full of shoppers, who are relieving the
merchants of the many tons of spring
goods brought here from northern and
eastern markets. The streets of the
city are filed each day with ladies from
the surrounding towns and counties
who are buying, inspecting and admir-
ing the many beautiful! displays of
goods.
The merchants of Dawson are as en-
terprising as any in the state. They
are shrewd and discriminating buyers,
and they sell at prices which cannot
fail to bring the trade.
Dawson and her merchants can and
do give pointers TO cities OF larger
size in the state.
