career as a uationS with the good
will of the United States and OF all
the world,
Norway is held in esteem for
quality rather than for size. Her
area is not much more than twice
that of Wisconsin. A large part OF
Norway is mountainous and insus-
ceptibe oil cultivation The proba-
billty is tlat if Wisconsin and Nor
way were put into the hands of a
real estate man TO sell them for the
most he could get, he would pro-
cure ii Gus toner for Wisconsin first
and be oble to sell it for a far higher
price than he could demand for Nor
way.
Yet Norway is a great country.
because it is the home OF a vigorous
race, and because it has played a
large part ia the history OF the
/
world. There is an important re-
| gion of France known as Normandy
| 1t gained that name from the fact
that it was once the haunt of the
NOrsemen. whose blood still circu
lates in the veins of the people who
inhabit that part of France. The
| NOrsemen discovered America near
ly five hundred yea1s before it was
discovered by Columbus. They ana
their relatives in Denmark and Swe-
den dominated for generations the
coasts Of England, Scotland and
Ireland, and their blood runs in the
veins of Englishmen and Scotchmen
and of Irishmen, as we'll as in the
veins of the Norman French. The
| n ors emen were pirates in the days
| when they ranged the coasts of
northern Europe, but there we're
many pirates then, and there is no
standpoint from which it is to the
/ credit of the Norsemen that when
pirates were numerous they were
the most adventurous ard success
full of the lot. The Norwegians have
left the pirate phase of their de-
velopment centuries in the rear.
They are as hardy as ever, but de
voted TO the arts of peace.
| From 1914 until their recent stroke
for absolute divorce from Sweden.
they were under the rule of the
Swedish king, yet they enjoyed dur
ing all that time large degree Of
Independence. They had a separate
| legislative body, the Storthing.
They managed their internal affairs
as little interfered with by Swedish
opinion as II they had been an
American state.
It had been supposed by the world
outside Of Norway that if Norway
ever broke loose from Sweden it
would set up republic. The spirit
of liberty is strong among the Nor
wegians, but many of them who be-
lieve in republican government as
an abstract principle have voted for
Charles " as king
\
This is explained by Bjornstel ne
| Bjorneson, a republic in principle,
who says that the retention of the
kingship. under liberal constitu-
ton, will secure to Norway all the
real and substantial benefits of
real and popular government, while
at the same time assuring the be-
ne VIOLENT disposition of Norway's
neichbors, who are under govern
ments of the monarchical stripe
The substance of the government
lis the thing. Norway has achieved
national independence, and has set
up government monarchical in
form, but in essence as republican
as that of Great Britain, and only
little less republican than that of
the United States.

been worked by President

staying away every meeting and
thus holding up the council and
preventing any business being

PRISONERS PICKED THROUGH BRICK WALL
Three Iail Birds Gained Freedom Saturday Night
One Under Life Sentence Returned Next Morn
Ing and Asked to Be Locked Up Again.

removing Brick and mortar from
the wall where the water pipe
enters the building, and by working
cautiously and slowly had made a
hole bio enough for their bodies to 90
through shortly after midnight Dock
Williams, who is charged with criml-
nal assault, refused to 90 with his fell
low prisoners, and remained in his
cell.
A factt that aided the negroes in their
break for liberty was the illness OF
Deputy Sheriff Slade, the jailer. Had
he been able to leave his bed it is not
probable that the jail-breakers would
have been successful, as Mrs. Slade
was awakened by the noise made by
them as they dug into the mortar and
brick. She Immediately telephOned
the fact to Manager Bush at the CEN
trail office and asked him to convey
the news to Sheriff Oxford, who had
no phone at his residence. This was
done, but before that officer reached
the Jail the prisoners had gone.
4 remarkable feature connected
with the escape was the return of AS
bury Walker. who drove up to the
prison with his brOther-in-law Sunday
morning about nine o'clock and an
nOunced that he had made a short visit
to his family eight miles in the country
and was ready to be given his old quar-
tiers. Walker is under sentence for life
in the penitentiary for murder, and Is
held in jail pending a motion for
new trial. Twelve years ago he killed
another negro, George Casey, in she
southern part of the county, by hitting
him a crushing blow with a scantling.
Effecting his escape, he made his
way into Florida and lived without
detection in Tampa until last year,
when he was discovered and brought
back to Dawson to answer for the
crime. In view of all these circum-
stances, together with his sentence for
life in the penitentiary, his return to
Jail is remarkable.
Hop Baldwin and Frank Seay are
still at large, though every effort is
being made for their capture. Bald
win was held for the murder of an
other negro, Louis Scott, in the north
ern part of the county several months
ago, whom it is claimed he killed with
a shot gun and then buried the body.
The prisoners left the jail about
one O'Clock There were only two
others in Jail, both of whom were
women charged with murder. They
were confined in another section of the
prison, and had no opportunity Of
escaping.

1t appears that Sheriff Oxford, who
had given Frank Seay, a negro
charged with wife beating, a berth in
the jail Saturday afternoon, showed
the door to the corridor of the steel

necessary in closing it, and that it re-

HULLs FOR MULES AND HORSES
Citizens Say Cotton Seed Meal and
HILLS Make Valuable Feed.


The following letters from two prom
inent citizens of Terrell county speak
for themselves:
DAWSON, GA, May u, 19O5.-Mr.
J. T. Raglan. Manager Southern Cot
ton Oil Co., Dawson, Ga. Dear Sir:
I will state that for the past two years
I have been feeding a good deal of
hulls and meal to my mules.
| began by putting little hulls and
meal in the trOughs at each feed, and
now my mules eat them freely. In
fact, | consider it just as good as hay
or fodder as a rQughage for stock. 1t
is cheaper, and equally as good feed.
/ have cut off my corn feed about half
since | commenced using cotton seed
meal. My mules are in a healthy
condition, and never have the collie.
1t is best not to feed too much meal.
but about one pound to one pound and
half each feed to the mule. with
about one peck of hulls. Yours truly,
j. +. JAY.
h. DAWSON. GA, May y. l905.-Mr.
J. T. Raglan, Manager Southern Cot
ton Oil Co., Dawson, Ga. Dear Sir:
For about eighteen months | have
been feeding my saw mill mules on
cotton seed hulls and meal instead of
hay or fodder and | am satisfied |
have gotten better results. My mules
have done better, and | have had less
sickness among them than previously
when | fed on hay and fodder.
A mule that suffers from heat and
blows badly in hot weather if fed on
cotton seed hulls will not blow near as
bad as if fed on hay or fodder.
I think one pound of hulls is worth
more than one pound of hay or fod-
der, and they are much cheaper. For
a feed of hulls and meal / recommend
about one peck of hulls and about one
and half pounds of meal. Very truly,
J. d. LANG.

CITY WON'T USE THE WATER
COUNCIL ISSUES INSTRUCTIONS
TO FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Must Depend on Cisterns in Case of
Fire Unless New Arrangements Can
BE Made With Water Company.

With orders from the city council
not to attach its hose to the water
works plugs the fire department must
fall back for water supply in case
of fire on the old cisterns, dug wears
ago when a waterworks system was
far distant and paid fire department
was unthOught of.
The following resolution was passed
unanimously by the council Thursday:
"Resolved, that we instruct the
chief of the fire department and his
associates that they shall not use any
of the water of the Dawson w alter
works Company for any purpose what
ever. The chief, being present, is now
so notified. ~
A motion then followed and was
adopted that the chairman of the com
mittee on the fire department employ
labor and have the cisterns owned by
the city put in good condition and fill
ed with water This will be done i'm
mediately, and on this supply the de-
partment must depend for fighting
fires. There are five of these cisterns
in the city. two on Lee street and three
on Main street. 1t will thus be seen
that a large portion of the city is
practically without fire protection as
the order stands
1t is believed, however, that this
condition will exist only short while.
The waterwOrks company, whose prin-
cipal Office is in Philadelphia, in re-
sponseto a telegram from Mayor Mercer
asking that a man be sent authorized
to make a contract for the use OF wa
ter by the city, has agreed to send a
representative to Dawson with whom,
it is probable, satisfactory arrange
ment can be made for the use Of the
cOmpany's water. He is expected to
arrive today or tomorrow.
If the present lack of water supply,
arising from the order of the council,
continues to exist insurance rates will
be raised to no small extent. Local
insurance agents have already inform
ed their companies of the facts, and
new order of tariff will doubtless soon
be effective. The agents say an in
crease of % per cent in the rates may
be expected.
