broken all records by gathering three
bales of cotton weighing 500 pounds
each from one acre of ground. Mr..
Holland prepared the land thorough
ly, used 1,400 pounds of guano and
cultivated the cotton with much care.
''Then the people down there have a
habit of voluntarily retiring from po-
litical Office. Now, what do you think
of that? Sheriff d. K Christie, who
was not a candidate for reelection,
retired from Office Monday after con-
tinuous service of fourteen years.
1t is said of him that no county has
ever had more faithful and efficient
public servant than Sheriff Christie
has been during these long number of
years, and the people showed their APP
proval of and confidence in him as an
official by electing him every two years
as long as he was candidate for
their suffrage. Tax Collector H. 0.
Thornton voluntarily retired from Of
fee January l after eight years of
faithful and efficient service. He was
not candidate for reelection. He
quits the public service with record
of which any man might we'll be
proud, and has the confidence and es-
TEEN of everybody. Mr.. J. T. Waller
retired from the Office of tax receiver
at the beginning of the new year after
serving six years, during which time
nothing occurred to mar the perfect
record of his official business. The
last year of his incumbency the
increase in taxable property
was more than 100000, the lar
gest in the history of the county. Ev-
cry man, woman and child who knows
him is his friend. Ordinary J. w.
Roberts rendered his resignation as
treasurer of the Terrell county dispen-
sary- The act creating the Terrell
county dispensary made the ordinary
of the county treasurer of that institu-
ton, and Judge Roberts has discharg-
ed the duties of the position since that
time. He desired to be relieved of
this work, however, as it, in connec-
ton with his duties as ordinary, had
become too great tax upon him, and
at the last session of the legislature
the dispensary law was amended SO as
to permit the commissioners to elect a
treasurer and fix his compensation.
Judge Roberts has been a very valua-

Editor Boifeuillet of the Macon
Evening News is evidently careful
reader of THE DAWSON NEWS. In
scanning a recent issue of this paper
he found the facts and inspiration for
the following interesting editorial:
Down In the Town of Dawson"
"The bands are playing down in the
town of Dawson. The goose hangs
high, and all goes merry as a mar
riage bell. Editor Rainey is proudly
escorting THE NEWS around in its
brand new dress. The three banks of
Dawson have declared good dividends,
and besides dividing large sums from
their earnings among stockholders
passed handsome amounts to their
surplus funds. The Dawson National
Bank, which doubled its capital stock
by increasing it to 100000 a year
ago, declared four per cent; the City
National Bank, which increased its
capital to $75, 900, five per cent, and
the First State Bank eight per cent.
Each of these was a Semi-annual dlvl-
dend. Eight, ten and sixteen per cent
per annum is all right. The Southern
Grocery Co. has decided to double its
capital stock, increasing it from $50,
600 to $40, 900. The Georgia Grocery
Co., which has merged with the Daw-
son Grocery Co. into the Consolidated
Grocery Co., divided among its stock
holders upon going out of business a
net profit of 20 per cent made during
the three months it was in operation.
A semi-annual dividend of five pei
cent has been authorized by the di-
rectors of the Dawson Compress and
Storage Co. The stock of this enter
prise, as in the past, proves to be a
very valuable investment. The Square
Bale Gin and Mill Co. has declared a
dividend, and the stockholders will
realize the nice profit of ten per cent
on their shares
''The above is presented as fair
sample of how things are progressing
in Dawson. Reads good, doesn't it?

and capability of the soil in Terrell

FIT. GAINES MAN IN TROUBLE.
Uncle Sam Charges Him With Using
Mail to Defraud.

r. l.. Merritt of Fit. Gaines, who is
engaged in the fish and oyster bust
ness, has been arraigned before Unit
ed States Commissioner Brown in
Columbus charged with using the mail
with intent to defraud. After exam
lining the witnesses bond of $500 was
assessed and the case will be tried at
the May term of the federal court for
this district.
1t is alleged that Merritt was in the
habit of ordering fish from distance
and sending check to pay for same,
and that the checks which he enclosed
were worthless, owing to the fact that
he had no bank account. He claims
that it was his custom to place the
money in the bank to cover the check
whenever he gave one, but that in this
particular instance the fish he received
were spoiled, and for that reason he
did not put up the money.
Merritt seems to stand we'll with the
people of Fit. Gaines, and it is very
likely that he will come clear when
tried.

WILL EXTEND GUANO NOTES.
To Give Farmers a Chance to Hold
Cotton if they So Desire.

The Virginia-Carolina Chemical
Company, doing business from Texas
to Virginia, has authorized its division
managers all over the country to ex-
tend the notes of their customers six
months, from Jan. /, with interest at
6 per cent per annum. The order is
contained in circular just sent out
to agents. The orderis brought about,
says the circular, by the many re-
quests the company is having from its
customers to extend their notes, SO
that they may hold their cotton.
In addition to the interest the notes
are to draw, the other condition is at
tached that the farmer must deposit in
reliable warehouse sufficient cotton
to cover the notes. Insurance on the
cotton will be carried by the company.
The circular states that the compa-
ny recognizes that the interest of the
farmer is theirs, and whatever benefits
the farmer rebounds to the benefit of
the company. No advice, says the
circular, is ventured in regards to the
holding of cotton, though it is intend
ed to extend every facility for farmers
to do so if they think best. The circu-
lar further ventures the assertion that
the acreage last year was too large,
and decrease of 10 per cent in acre
age would mean a decrease of a mil
| lion bales in the crop.

AHARVEST OF DEATH.

The statisticians say the losses of
} life resulting from the Russo-Japanese
WAR amount to something more than
h8l. 900. The Russians have lost 9l,-
boo and the japanese 10000. This is
supposed to include only the killed on
|battlefelds, and not the soldiers who
have died of disease. These latter
would of course, swell the death lists
by thousands. The war began in the
Rarly days of last February. The har-
.Eest of death has been heavy. But
The men who made the war have never
gone to the front. They remain com
fortably at home, in their palaces.
