DAWSON DOCTORS WILL ATTEND
A Convention of Vital Importance 10
Humanity Soon to Be Held.

Next month Atlanta will be the
scene of a very important convention,
one that probably means much for the
benefit of the human race. The mem
bers will assemble for the purpose of
doing their part to help stamp out the
horrible white peril, commonly called
consumption. Thousands of persons
fall victims annually to the terrible
disease. Many learned physicians
and scientists say that consumption is
durable.
The convention to which we allude
is that of the American Anti-Tuber-
culosis League, which will be in ses-
sion on April II, Is and 10.
The meeting will be attended by a
large number of the medical pro
fession throughout the country,
and the proceedings will be watched
with great interest. The object is of
most vital concern to humanity.
Among the delegates that have been
named from the second congressional
district are DR.. J. w. Patterson of

NAH, PIERCEs HER FOOT AND
WAKES 4 DANGEROUS WOUND.
IT WENT ALMOST THROUGH
Accident Due to Nail-FiIled Planks
That Have Been Allowed to Re
main on the Fairgrounds for
Several Months.

4 rusty nail was responsible for
quite 4 serious injury to Vivian Goss,
ale fourteen year-old daughter of Mr..
r.. D. Coss, last Tuesday on the school
grounds.
Piercing the thickness of her shoe
sole and penetrating almost entirely
through her foot the rusty piece of
iron inflicted a painful and dangerous
wound The combined efforts of sew
eral persons were necessary to extract
the nail. and the little girl had to be
carried into the school building and
afterwards taken home. where she is
still suffering.
The unfortunate accident occurred
while the pupils were forming in line
at the close of the noon recess to
march into the building.
On the very day of this little girls
misfortune The News called attention
editorialIy to the grave danger which
the hundreds of nail-flled planks that
have been allowed to remain on
the school grounds several months
subjected the children to during their
recess play, and insisted that they be
removed at once. 1t was pointed out
that some child was almost certain to
stick nail in his or her foot unless
thedebris that necessarily accumulated

new building was Immediately carted
away, and it was not a matter of sur

such an accident did so soon occur,

a similar misfortune is likely to
happen to other children any day I'M

Nobody Seems to Be Concerned About
the Prevalence Of Smallpox.

The presence of smallpox in Dawson,
and in fact this entire section, seems
to have reached a stage where it at
tracts but little more attention or
arouses no more alarm than a case of
humps or chickenpox. Several Daw-
son people have had the so-called
smallpox recently, and some of them
have hardly let it keep them from
their everyday business.
Practically no precautions are taken
against the spread of the disease.
People so afflicted have several times
been seen going about very uncOn-
cernedly. Neither city nor county
authorities seem to think that the sit
uetion demands stringent or quaran-
tine measures.

TERRELL COUNTY THANKED.
OF CLAY COUN-
TY ADOPT RESOLUTIONS.
Delegation Who Inspected Our Roads
Make Their Report. Pleased
With Their Visit.

The delegation from Clay county
who recently visited Terrell and Bibb
counties and investigated their systems
of road building have made the fol-
lowing report:
FORT GAINES, GA, March 20, 1905.
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners of Clay County, Cen
tlemen: We, the committee appointed
on March 9th. to interview the com
missioners of Bibb and Terrell and
other counties in regard to the system
of working the public roads now in
vogue in those counties, beg leave to
submit the following report
We visited and inspected the roads
of Bib county, which are made of
clay and sand without any other arti-
fetal ingredients; and found them to
be of the most superior quality. Their
system is machine and convict labor,
under a road superintendent electe d
by a body similar to yours.
AS to the financial output and OPP
6TdUlOu
roads were built ION the heaviest
hills and largest tills) at cost of S.
500 per mile, and that many miles
were built for 500 and less per mile.
We also found that this county operat-
ed under a per capita and direct tax
system, and that special enactment
of the legislature had made the I'M
paved streets of the city Of Macon
! ! 80 H. roln %
inc all citizens of the county on an
equal footing as to taxation: which
SYSTEM if we should adopt good roads
laws in Clay county, we respectfully
recommend to apply to Fort Gaines.
AS to Terrell county, we visited the
CITY of Dawson and interviewed the
officials of Terrell county inspected
good many miles of their roads,
which we found, in the main, to be OF
superior quality. These roads were
also worked under the system of per
capita and direct taxation. We could
find no means by which we could
average the cost per mile, but assured
that it was much lower than that OF
Bibb.
In both these counties we found that
the labor was the felony and misde-
meanor convicts, much OF which was
procured from sources outside the
county, and which materially reduced
the cost.
In both these counties the officials
especially recommended to US that If
if we put system of road working IN
vogue that we be sure TO secure the
services of a skilled superintendent as
a road builder.
After consultation at Dawson the
committee decided it would be useless
to put the county to further expense,
therefore we returned home.
In submitting this report we sincere
ly thank you gentlemen for the honor
conferred upon US, and beg to assure
you that any time in the future our
services are at your command.

paid the railroad fare and expenses OF
Denver mines that have been here dur.

last two games played would not meet
the expenses by from s12 to s16 or
course they were poor teams and it has
been demonstrated that unless one can
be procured that will put up an interest

small to pay expenses. So it looks as
though there will be nothing doing in
the ball line for few Sundays to come

will take pity on the Centralites and ag-
rec to come up here for their expenses.
