that the management has been

poorly patronized, and has been
booking 100 many attrae TONS. From one

WHO OWNS THE CENTRAL?
The Southern Does Not and Cannot
Says President Spencer.

Says President spencer.
ATLANTA, Dec. 11.-Who owns the
Central of Georgia railway?
Three times this question has been
before the Georgia railroad commits
sion, and every time the answer is the
same-the reorganization committee
of the old Richmond Terminal Com
pany.
Mr.. Samuel Spencer, president of
the Southern railway, was questioned
for two hours the other day by the rail
road commission here and he gave the
history of the Centrals ownership in
detail.
Every company, of course, is owned
by it's stockholders. Back in 1887 a
majority of the old Central's stock
was bought by Pat Calhoun and assO-
ciates They sold it to another COM
pany, called the Georgia-not the
Georgia railroad, but the Georgia
company. This latter company was
bought by the Richmond & West Point
Terminal company. In 1892 the Rich
mond Terminal went into receivership.
Among its assets was the majority
stock of the Central of Georgia.
In 1894 the Southern railway was
formed and it bought large part of
the Richmond Terminals property.
The Southern Railway Company, how
ever, did not get possession or control
of the Central's stock, because there
was very grave doubt about the owner,
the Richmond Terminal, being able to
give a title which would be good in
Georgia.
SO the Richmond Terminals reor-
ganization committee held on to the
Central stock and still holds it.
Mr.. Spencer said that the Southern
does net own share or dollars
worth of anything in the Central, and
never has. He declared that the South
ern does not control and never has
controlled the Central. 1t is controlled
absolutely by the president and direc-
tors who are elected by the votes of the
Richmond reorganization committee.
Not one of the three members of the
reorganization committee has any in
terest in the Southern railway.
From Mr.. Spencer's testimony it
appears that the Southern is in the
position of man who has bought
farm but cannot get title to it.
Mr.. Spencer added that he did not
think it would be good policy for the
Southern to own the Central, even II 1T
were legal to do so.
Major Hanson, president of the Cen
trail, testified that the road is operated
as an Independent property and COM
petes with the Southern for business
more sharply than with any other
road.

MARBLE BANK BUILDING
First State Bank Has Begun Erection
of Magnificent Structure and
Will Occupy II in the Spring.

The work of erecting the new build
ing to be owned and occupied by the
First State Bank, on Main street, has
been begun. 1t will be built at cost
of about S15, 900, and will be single
story structure.
1t can, therefore, be imagined just
how deliberately it will be constructed.
1t will be built of marble, and it is
stated that it will not be excelled by
any bank in the state in point of
beauty and admirable appointment.
The bank will occupy the corner
where the dispensarY was formerly To-
Gated, and the old building is now
being torn down and removed.

CITY OWNS WATERWORKS
FORMAL TRANSFER OF PLANT
HAS BEEN MADE.
The Last Chapter of Lengthy and Ex-
pensive Litigation. Improvements
Will Be Made in the System.

w
Dawson awoke yesterday morning
to find itself the owner of water
works system.
AS a matter of fact its title to the
plant was acquired Monday night,
when the city, through the assembled
mayor and council, paid to Mr.. H. B.
Hodge of Philadelphia, the represen-
tative of the Dawson Waterworks Co.,
S35, Stab, and Mr.. Hodge in turn made
formal transfer of the property to
the city. OF the sum paid S35, 900 rep
rosents the purchase price for the
plant and the remainder water rentals
that we're due the company.
Thus is is ended legal battle
waged unremittingly since 1896, bat
tie in which the city fought to break
its contract with the waterworks com
pany, and fight which sought the
ammunition of judicial opinion from
Terrell county superior court to the
United States supreme court. This
court of last resort finally held that it
had no jurisdiction over the main
question at issue and shifted the case
back to where it was after the state
supreme court had rendered its decis-
ion months before, and made the city
practically the victor. Thousands OF
dollars of court costs were placed up
on the company. AS many more
thousands of back rentals we're put on
the city. The company proposed a
sale and settlement. The city ulti
mately offered $50, 900 for the plant
and cancellation of all financial
scores, and the comp any accepted the
proposition.
A bond election was accordingly
held and $40, 900 issue voted. These
bonds were sold for $47,55O. Out of
this came the money paid Monday for
the waterwOrks.
About $4,000 is thus left, and this
will be expended in the Improvement
of the WaterwOrks plant. Dead ENDS
will be connected, some large mains
substituted and the system thai
brought up to a high standard. The
pumping station will finally he moved
and run in connection with the elec-
trio light plant, though this change
will not be made within a year or
more.
The council has employed Mr.. W.
A. Jeter as superintendent of the
water system at a salary of $500 a
year. Mr.. Jeter held this position
with the Dawson WaterwOrks Co.,
and is very efficient man.

When the city tax books of 1905
closed Clerk Bells records showed
collections of advalorem tax amount.
ing to $14, 374.25, leaving a balance
uncollected of only 81, O82.25. The lat

DAWSON's SOCIAL DOINGS.

the Past Week.

Several Delightful Occasions During
the Past Week.
Hon. w. S. Dozier gave in honor
of Judge Reagan Friday night pos
sum supper at his home on Crawford
street. A number of congenial guests
were gathered at the home of the hos
pitable clerk of the court, who is so
we'll versed in the art of entertaining
on such occasions. 1t was thor
oughly enjoyable affair.
Elaborate in conception and perfect
in detail was the domino party given
by Mrs. Moses H. Harper and Miss
Florence Baldwin at the home of the
latter Friday evening. At the recep-
ton hall door three little girls, Villa
Hatcher, Ida and Myrtice Christie,
representing "Mrs. Katzenjammer''
and her boys, "Hans and Fritz" met
the guests. They were then directed to
the punch bowl, where little Misses
Berta Baldwin, Annie May Christie
and Mamie Dean did the hOnors of
dispensing the delicious beverage.
Above the punch bowl was suspended
a large bamboo parasOl, beautiful
with its red berries and innumerable
pendants of red Santa Claus figures.
Mrs. Mary Baldwin and Mrs. G. w
Curry ushered the guests into the
front parlOr where the receiving par
tv stood, composed of Mrs. Moses H.
Harper, Mrs. w. L. Baldwin, Mr.. A.
J. Baldwin, Miss Matte Coxwell and
Miss Florence Baldwin. The spirit of
the occasion was heartily entered into
by every guest present. The Katzen-
TANNER kids shone with the glory of
their goodness, Simon Simple cogitat-
ed on renewed efforts at fun, Hooligan
was doing good turns, fair Rosamond
was among the company, George
Washington walked with all the dig
nifty of his colonial airs, Red Riding
Hood stood Undiscovered, and the big
policeman uttered an occasional move
on. They were all there. Even San
ia Claus finally emerged driving a
modern red wagon loaded with snow
balls and drawn by pair of Swimmer
ton tigers" The unmasking time was
the occasion for wondering and much
merriment Miss Alice Williams, as
Rosamond, received the lady's prize,
while Mr.. John Ed Morris. as General
George Washington, was awarded the
gentleman's prize. At eleven O'Clock
the guests repaired to the dining
room, where delicious ices were serv-
ed. The home was beautifully deco
rated for the occasion. Ferns, holly,
bamboo and Christmas bells breathed
the holiday spirit.

The Issue of Race.

In the twelfth chapter of the Book
Of Judges it is told how the Gileadites
slew forty and two thousand Ephraim-
ties at the passages Of Jordan. be-
cause they pronounced "shibboleth"
"sibboleth." That was race issue.
BY their faulty speech the forty and
two thousand proved themselves to be
Of another race. and they were slain.
Read ancient history and learn that
in the dark backward and abysm of
time the hand Of every man of one
race was against the hand of every
man OF all other races. Stranger
meant enemy. alien meant foe. Then
the race issue was at it's strongest.
Centuries have passed. Almost uni
versal tolerance has come about While
races still preserve their national iden-
ity, ingress and egress is for the most
part free and open. The sons Of one
race mate freely with the daughters of
another. Without loss of caste or faint
of dishonor, French girl may marry
a Neapolitan, Swiss maiden a Prus-
sian youth, Norwegian Olsen a Ger
man Gretchen, A Russian an Austrian,
a Spaniard a Portuguese, an English
man a Scot The population OF the,
United States is an amazing composite
of all these and other races.-San
Francisco Argonaut
