A GREAT MUSICAL TREAT.
A Concert of Rare Musical Value in
Dawson Tuesday Evening.


Dawson Tuesday Evening.
Through the efforts of several of the
music lovers of Dawson the people Of
this city will on next Tuesday night,
the % inst, have the opportunity OF
hearing a concert by four of the most
talented musicians of the southeast
The artists composing the company
all hail from Montgomery, Ala. They
have been filling some engagements at
Dothan, Eufaula and Thomasville,
and on Wednesday night, the 23rd
instant, are to appear in Albany I'M
der the auspices of the Elks. The
management of the opera house, al
WAYS on the alert to give the people
the best possible entertainment, gladly
co-Operated with several local musical
lovers and artists in a movement set
on foot to have the company come to
Dawson on the night of the 22nd, in as
much as they would arrive in Albany
Tuesday morning with no engagement
for that night. The personnel OF the
company is as follows: Miss Fannie
Marks, violinist; Miss Mary w. Love
lace, soprano: Miss Lou Ella Crom-
well, solo pianist accOmpanist; and
Mr.. w. F. Christian, baritone and
managing the tour.
Miss Marks has been pronounced
by music critics in New YOnk and
Chicago as the best girl violinist now
appearing before the American public.
If the people. of Dawson only knew
her they would turn out en- mass to
hear her performance.
Alabama can claim no more gifted
vocalist than Miss Lovelace. She has
participated in many notable artist
recitals in Atlanta and other cities of
the south, and never fails to win the
unstinted applause of her audience.
Miss Cromwell, while younger pro-
fessionally than the other members of
the company, is no less talented. She
is as sureley to become famous as a
piano virtuosi as that she. does not
give up the instrument.
Mr.. Christian is thoroughly de-
lightful singer. He has the knack of
knowing how so to vary his program
that no one in his audience can go
away without having derived pleasure
from his recitals.

think you will deny. Therefore II you
did promise Mr.. Query your support,
YOU certainly deserted him. The only
question at issue is: did you, in the
beginning of the campaign, induce
and persuade him to make the race by
promising him your supportT Inns
fact established, and the case is made
out against you.
81 have said in a public speech that
YOU promised Mr.. Query your sup
port and persuaded him to enter the
race and then deserted him and sup
ported Mr.. Terrell. I was not present
when YOU were said to have made said
promise to Mr.. Query, but l have 1t
from the lips of men who say they
heard YOU make them, and they are
reputable men, too. If your purported
statement at Dawson is correct, then
it places at issue a fact, the truth OF
which involves your veracity and the
veracity of these gentlemen to whom
refer. If they have done you a wrong
by representing you to have made
promises as to supporting Mr.. Query
that YOU did not in fact make, then
YOU should be indicated, and | for
one stand ready to make proper apOl-
Ogies to you and denOunce them for
charging you falsely and placing false
information in my possession. On the
other hand, if you did in fact promise
Mr.. Query your support and per-
suaded him to make the race three
years ago on these issues and then de-
serted him, then the people of Georgia
have a right to question your SINGER
ity now when you are protesting so
much love for these issues.
"This charge and your denial makes
the issue, and the evidence should be
submitted to the people and let them
determine the truth thereof. What say
you?
GAS one who at heart loves the
great issues for which you are now
protesting so much love, I would be
greatly gratifed to have the real truth
of this issue determined. This, among
other things, has led me to believe
that you are insincere in your pro-
fessions to the people now. If. after
submitting all the evidence in the
case, you can acquit yourself and
show that these gentlemen have charg-
ed you falsely, then you have done
much to overcome my present opinion
as to your insincerity in protesting SO
much love for the issues upon which
you are seeking to be elected gov
ernOr. And no doubt there are thOus-
ands of other voters in Georgia who
stand willing and ready to do you full
Justice on this issue. Are you willing
to have the evidence submitted to
the people?

ITALIAN PEDDlERS
WANT MONEY BACK

Tony Sanford and Charles Limo,
men who paid the city 500 each on
account of peddlers' licenses, are not
going to wait until their claim for
refund of the money paid gets out
of the city council committee of the
whole. Papers were filed today COM
mencing action in the superior court
for return of the fee paid.
The pe1dlers' license ordinance has
been knocked out in the courts. 1t
has been the custom with the city
under such cases whore others have
asked for money paid prior to deter
mination of the legality of an ordi-
nance to pay the money back. Cor
poration Counsel Geraghty holds to
the opinion that such refund is not
obligatory on the city, unless it be
shown that the fee was paid under
duress of some kind. to avoid arrest,
or prosecution. Under his advice the
council is now considering the claims
of Sanford and Limo.
