A MONUMENT TO CAPTAIN WIRZ

Confederate officer who Was Lyncn0d
By Northern Troops at AndersOnville.
From the Savannah Press.
The movement among the Daughters
of the COnfederacy to erect monu-
ment to Captain WirZ is attracting a
great deal of attention. If they should
put up the shaft near the National
Park the civil war would probably
break out all over again. 1t there is
one man whom the northern people
hate it is Wirz. They look upon him
as the embodiment of cruelty, and yet
if there ever was a martyr who was
sacrificed to the mob it was Wirz.
The Press has shown time and
again that Wirz did everything he
could to alleviate the condition of the
federal prisoners in southwest GeOr-
gia The government which Wirz
represented could not feed its own
soldiers in the field. If the ratiOns at
| Andersonville were scarce, so were
! the rations at Fredericksburg. Re
peatedly the confederate custodian
called on the government for blankets
and provisions, but our own soldiers
upon the field we're marching bare
! footed and unclOaked, bleeding and
hungry. A shOrt-sighted policy OF
the union government stopped the eX-
change of prisoners in the belief that
the south needed men worse than the
north did. Northern prisoners were
deliberately sacrificed by this cruel
policy, and then the northern troops
seized Wirz, tried him by drumhead
court-martial and lynched him. The
monuments at Andersonville continue
to recite all sorts of base falsehoOds.
A monument to Wim would be the
answer to these sectional lies, and the
women of Georgia have got it in them
| to construct the answer good and
| strong.

RECORD THAT COUNTS
CITY National Bank Of Dawson Has
Made Wonderful Strides. Strong
Institution Ably Differed.

Success is a story that has never
lost it's interest. A record of worthy
achievement is told today in the ad-
vertising columns of The News. 1t is
bound to claim and bold attention.
# is the statement of the condition OF
the CITY National Bank of Dawson.
It is indeed a record that counts,
and it took less than two years to make
il. The City National opened for
business on January d, 1903 From
the beginning it began to go torWara
with pace that soon double-qulcked'
On October %, 1903 its deposits, were
$50. 7Ol. 81. Just one year later that
had nearly doubled, representing an
amount of $14S, 066.96. STILL twelve
months later the magnificent record
of deposits is S2O5, 3l4.32
Now, when one reads of success
how? invariably suggests itself. This
is the answer to how in this instance.
First of all, there is not better town
in a better county anywhere than Daw-
son and Terrell. But in answering
the how of success, we must always
consider things in reciprocal light.
The prosperity and high standing of
the town and county was suffi-
cient multiple of itself, but it took
another factor to obtain result for
the City National. And the factor
was in evidence. Every officer and di-
rector of the bank was selected in ac-
cordance with his fitness, and every
BODY knew that these men were men
of the highest integrity and business
standing. The officers of the bank
were selected as men who were pecul-
iarly and ably capacitated to manage
the banks affairs in the every way
tn " should be managed-and as men
of answering fidelity and honesty.
Then the banking house and fixtures
were all that a modern and well-equipp-
ed banking institution should have.
And that brings US back to the begin
ming period. Every effort, every en-
ergy, every bit of brain and Drawn
was brought into play by those who
manage the bank. From the first,
every courtesy was shown patrons and
the most liberal treatment consistent
with sound banking. That same poll
cy today is operation. All OF which
amply answers the how.
And, best of ALL success-the right
sort of success -presages greater sue
cess. The success Of success IS pro
verbal. The City National, already
one of the strongest institutions in the
state, is undoubtedly predestined to
grow in strength and favor

son met last Tuesday afternoon at the

ne their meeting every week. Rev. j,
w. Ouarterman continues as presi-
dent for another year. Rev. j. NJ.
Long was elected to preach the
Thanksgiving sermon this year, and
the Presbyterian church was chosen as
the place.
Among other matters, looking to
the moral welfare of Dawson, the
question of cruelty to animals was
freely discussed The ministers de-
plore very much the abuse of stock,
and the cruel treatment of animals so
frequently noticed upon our streets.
They call upon the citizens generally
for the creation of sentiment against
the custom. and upon the owners OF
stock to more carefully superlntend
the use of same, and to more properly
control their drivers in order to pre-
vent it.
In many places the Society for the
pre- vention of cruelty to animals" is
organized for the purpose OF lessenlng
the evil. but the preachers feel that
the good citizens of Dawson only need
TO have their attention called to the
matter. and that decided improvement
will follow.

IS STILL UNSETTLED.
An Interesting Decision in Regard
to Timber Cutting.

A Boise dispatch to the Lewis
ton Tribune says that in the fed
eral court jury returned a ver-
dict in favor of the government
against Baker & Anderson, saw
mill men, for Sc, 102 for timber
cut from government lands in
the vicinity of the mining camp
of Pine, in Elmore county. The
case has aroused great interest
because of the instructions given
the jury as to what constitutes
mineral lands within the meaning
of the statute authorizing the
cutting of timber off such lands
for domestic purposes.
Baker & Anderson claimed they
were on mineral lands. There
have been numerous cases of this
kind here, the government being
uniformly beaten. In one of the
first of these, some years ago,
Judge Beatty instructed the jury
that "the law includes as mineral
lands, not only those tracts in
mineral has actually been discov-
cred and what has. been or can
be legally located as mining loca-
tions, but also other lands lying
in reasonable close proximity to,
or in the general neighborhood of
such tracts, and all such neigh
boring lands as have the general
characteristics of mining lands
even if mineral has not actually
been discovered thereon.
The government appealed that
case, claiming this opened the
doors far too wide. The circuit
court of appeals indicated but
did not specifically uphold the in
structions. Ten days ago it was
given in a similar case and the
government was defeated, notice
being given of an appeal for the
purpose of getting a specific rul-
ing.
In the Baker & Anderson case
Judge Beatty repeated the in
structions, but in further talk
with the jury he advised them
the language meant that lands
must be in the immediate neigh
borhood of mines that were being
worked to be entitled to be con-
sidered as mineral lands. He
also i1dicated that he, thought
these were not mineral lands. 1t
is a point of; the very highest
Importance in all mining sections
and the case will be carried to
the court of appeals.
