County into School, Districts
Complete Their Work.

Messrs. j. j. Hill, NJ. +. Jennings
and j. H. Sem, who were recently APP
pointed by the county board of educa-
ton to divide the county into school
districts, have practically finished
their work. and will make their report
at a called meeting of the body in a
few days.
The committee have laid off the
county into six school districts, which
will be known as the Bronwood, the
Midway, the SasSer, the PARROT, the
HerOd and the Graves districts. All
of the county is thus divided with the
exception of Dawson, whose schools
are supported under special provisions
already.
These divisions were made in COM
Dliance with the provisions of the re-
cent cOnst tutional amendment with
reference to local taxation for schools.
Under this enactment the citizens OF
a district will have the option OF
deciding whether or not they shall
support their schools by local taxa
ton.

WHAT DID BURGLARS WANT?

CITY Hall Broken into, But Nothing
So Far Is Missed.
art for arts sake is often heard
of, and it may have been that the
gentle art of burglaring was INDUCED
in at the city hall few nights ago with
the same motive prompting it. If that
wasn't it, what was it?
Certain it is that some one forced an
entrance into the city hall, and just
as certain is City Electrician Harris
Peddy that nothing is missing from
his supply room therein; and but for
this supply room the building is
empty of anything worth stealing.
The burglar priced the paddock off the
door of the north corridor and did the
same for the door of the supply room,
after which he departed, so far as can
be ascertained, empty handed.
1t may have been, however, that the
offender had an idea that the city
treasury was located in the building.
This is another supposition. The of
fcers are at a loss to understand the
motives of the burglary, and have so
far found no clues as to the identity OF
the burglar or burglars.

LABOR FOR THE SOUTH.
Railroads viii Try to Relieve the Scarcity.
what state Got for Big Expenditure.

Railroads viii Try to Relieve the Scarcity.
what state Got for Big Expenditure.
Several years ago the state of
Georgia appropriated $4,000 for an
Immigration department. A represent
alive was sent to Europe to interest
the people to come to this country.
He was a German, and he induced his
sister-in-law to come over. She settled
in Atlanta, married there and had one
child. These two additions to GeOrgia's
population were the total results of
the states 1000 experiment.
The railroads, however, have been
working Systematically for years to
bring in new settlers and fresh capital.
They have directed their efforts chiefly
to the work of interesting the thrifty
farmers and mechanics of the west, and
have located thousands of them
in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama
and other southern states. They are
now planning to get immigrants direct
from Europe for the southern farms,
mills. factories and furnaces. In many
sections labor is so scarce that the
farmers cannot get enough help to
properly till their lands.
Hon. Ross G.. Smith, Commissioner
of Alabama's immigration and Indus
trial Association, who was in Atlanta
last week, stated that the prospects
we're very encouraging. "There is not
ANYTHING like the shortage of labor in
the west that there is in the south, "
he said. This is largely because
the western roads have been taking
hundreds of thousands of immigrants
direct to the west in years past. Our
southern roads realize that the situa-
ton is growing desperate here in the
South and they intend to make strong
effort to draw good class of foreign
ers into this territory.
Zone of the best effects that an
influx of good white labor to the south
will accomplish will be to stimulate
the negro and make him work more
regularly. AS long as the negro
knows that there are two jobs for every
man that wants to work the more he is
| inclined to loaf and idle away his
time. Then again, the Negroes proper
place is in the cotton and corn
fields. and away from the towns and
cities. He is decidedly more peaceful
and a better citizen on the farms than
| he is elsewhere. While many of the
foreigners are good hands in the fields
they cannot handle the mule, and are
not as satisfactory for farm work as
the negro. / believe that by next
spring there will be big stream of
white foreign labor coming into the
| south.

CIVIL ENGINEER REPORTS On
VALUE OF WATERWORKS.
1t Is His Opinion That the City is
Getting a Bargain. Pressure Given
a Satisfactory Test.

Civil Engineer J. B. McCrary, who
visited Dawson for the purpose OF
looking into the value of the water
works system and rendering certain
opinions in connection Herewith,
made his report to the city council
Tuesday night.
Mr.. McCrary's estimate of the
plants value was $4,000, with the
proviso that the mains are as eX-
pensive as the sheet iron piping. The
waterworks people contend that this is
not only true, but that the piping
used by them is superior in quality to
that made of sheet iron. The engineer
stated that in his opinion this was
very conservative estimate. AS to the
construction of a new system, Nh.
NcCrary stated that the cost OF an
ADEQUATE water plant would approx
mate $40, 0O0
On the same day that the engineer
made his report public test OF the
water pressure was made, the fire de-
partment attaching its hose to num-
Der of plugs over both six and eight
inch mains. The maximum pressure
turned on was l1S pounds to the
square inch, though what appeared to
be an entirely satisfactory stream was
had at a lower pressure than this.
Mr.. McCrary's report and the test
of the waters force did much to con
vince many citizens that the system
was cheap at the price for which the
company agrees to sell it viz: So
600; which sum is also to be accepted
in settlement of a debt, estimated all
the way from $l3, 900 to 500, 600, due
the waterworks company by the city
as rentals and interest thereon for
the past use of water.
