NOT BODY OF PAUL
JONES, BUT HIS FATHERS
Mystery as to the Grave at Dumfries,
Scotland, Is Explained

PARIS, April 25.-When the report
was first circulated that the body of
Paul Jones was buried in Kirkbean
church, Dumfries, Scotland, where the
tomb is still seen, Ambassador Porter,
although he had already verified the
exact burial place as being Paris,
wrote to the pastor of Dumfries
Manse, the Rev. d. w. Mckenzie, who
replied:
1.-The tomb is that of the father of
Paul Jones. and the inscription on
ii is:
I'm memory of John Paul Sr., who
died at Arbigland Oct. "a, 1867, uni
versally esteemed
Below appears an inscription:
Erected by John Paul Jr.'
John Paul was the original name of
Admiral Jones. / take great interest in
the history of the admiral, and the To-
cal tradition or parish documents sug-
gest nothing at variance with the ac-
cepted opinion that he died in Paris
and was buried in the Protestant GEM
etery there"
NEW YORK, April 25.-A resolution
eulogizing John Paul Jones and rec
ommending that his remains be buried
in this city was adopted by the board
of aldermen today. Another resolution
adopted provides for the appointment
of a committee of aldermen to meet
the remains of the admiral when they
arrive in this port and urges the CO.
operation of the chamber of commerce,
the Maritime exchange and other civic
bodies in having the city selected as
a final resting place for the remains of
the admiral. The resolution expresses
the thanks of the board for the efforts
of Ambassador Porter.

A REFLECTION ON THE CITY.

It is passing strange, but it is a
fact, nevertheless, that the public
roads of Terrell county are in far
better condition than the roads of the
city of Dawson. The roads of the
county are hard and smooth and they
are a delight to the farmer when he
has a heavy load to bring to town or
when he wishes to take trip in his
buggy, but when he reaches the cor
porate limits of Dawson the cOndi-
ton is quite different, and immediate
ly apparent. Instead of smooth,
hard road bed he is confronted by a
stretch of sand. and the heavy load
which was drawn briskly to town be-
comes a burden to his wearied ami
mails. The farmer, being aware of
this fact, naturally leaves home with a
lighter load than he would if the city
roads were in decent condition and
therefore loses the advantage of the
good roads his county is building for
his benefit. Now, why is this? Daw-
son has less road to keep up than the
county, it collects $500 per head for
street tax, while the county collects
only $3.50, and Dawsone gets more
street money in proportion to road
mileage than does the county. Let
the city authorities take pattern from
methods of the county and at least
make the city roads as good as those
in the country. A comparison now is
certainly reflection on the city.

GAMBLING ON FUTURES.

A bill of considerable import has
been introduced in the lower house by
the Hon. James w. Boykin of Lincoln
county. 1t is a measure to suppress
and prohibit gambling in futures
This bill will go before the committee
some time this week, and should have
the moral backing of the best people
of the state. 1t is a movement for the
betterment of the morals of the state.
The time has come to put and end to
the blighting influence of this illegltl-
mate business. From a religious and
moral standpoint. buying and selling
futures is as much gambling as throw
ing dice, playing cards for money or
betting on races or other games Of
chance In fact, all the money lost in
all other games of chance combined
will not amount to more than half the
sum lost in the "bucket shops" annu-
ally by the spectators in this state.
Nor does this cover all the loss. BY
cFeaJlng uculIlOuo PRICES anu h0OPIhS
the market in an unsettled and fever
ism condition the farmers are greatly
handicapped in the disposal of their
crops. Young men, lured by the am
bition to grow rich fast, chase the
rainbow of future speculation and
their bright and promising careers
are cut short, the brand of thief is up
on them and they go down in shame.
And women and children are made to
feel the heavy hand of poverty and
want.
Mr.. Boykin's bill is a blow at a
great evil, and we see no good reason
why it should not become a law.

SAYS SHERIFF is HOSTILE.
Attorney For The Rawlings Says They
Can't Secure Justice.

Attorney John r. Cooper Of this
CITY, who is leading counsel for the
defense of the Rawlings prisoners held
at Valdosta, charged with killing the
Carter children, stated last night be-
fore leaving for Atlantic Beach that
it would be his purpose to have Sheriff
PassmOre relieved of the custody of
his clients on account of what seemed
to the attorney determined effort on
the mart of the sheriff to have punish
ment meted out to the Rawlings,
whether guilty or not, says a Macon
press dispatch.
Attorney Cooper declares that the
attitude of the sheriff OF LOwndes to-
wards the accused men IS so clearly
hostile that he fears for their safety.
In speaking of the case here Yester-
day Attorney Cooper claimed that the
sheriff's repeated interference In the
trial of Milton Rawlings and his dra-
matte declaration that revolver had
been found in the mothers handbag
were all intended to create prejudice
against the accused men. tomorrow
when the trial of Jesse and Leonard
Rawlings will begin Attorney Cooper
will make an effort to have Sheriff
PassmOre removed from connection
with the cases.
An effort is also to be made to have
a change of venue. The Macon attor-
new believes the accused men will
never be given a shadow of fairness
where they are now being tried. Mr..
Cooper asserts that Sheriff PasSmore
and his relatives, who have been &C
cused during the past week of bein4
present at the home of the Carriers on
the night of the killing, have never
lost a moment in their efforts to close
the net of the law about the necks OF
the Rawlings boys and their father,
and on these grounds it is charged
that Justice can never be given the
accused men.

Beloved Ex-President of Mercer Pass
Z es Away at Monroe.

''News was received in Macon last
night of the death Sunday afternoon
at Monroe, Ca, of DR.. P. D. Pollock,
for eight years the beloved president
of Mercer University. The end came
after two years OF continued illness
which caused DR.. Pollock's absence

much to build up and which finally
caused him to resign his position as

TELL US ABOUT THE STARE.

In the language of the Atlanta News
we would exclaim: For Gods sake,
gentlemen, quit telling us about each
other and tell us about the railroads
and the state " The people of the
state are not interested in personal
politics, they want to be told about
state issues. The personal campaign
being carried on by the Atlanta Con-
stitution and the Atlanta Journal is
disgusting and nauseating to all fair
minded people, and will not do the
candidate of either organ one scintilla
of good. The people of the state
know both the Hon. Clark Howell and
the Hon. Hoke Smith to be able and
conscientious gentlemen, and the man
who presents the issues which tend
toward the best interests of the state
will receive their votes The tactics
of the two gubernatorial organs, if
continued, are enough to force the or
binary voter of the state to turn his
back on the Atlanta candidates and
seek another aspirant. The election
is fully twelve months off yet, and the
most patient voter will grow tired
Of such strenuous politics.

WANTED TO SELL WHITE CHILD.

negro, it is said, intended to take the
boy to Thomasville and sell him.
The child was unable to keep up
with the negro and was severely whip
ped for tagging. Before they went
far they were Overtaken and the negro
brought to MOultrie. He was tried
for assault and battery and sentenced
to twelve months on the changing.
The negro was thought to be crazy,
but the Judge held him competent to
commit crime.

AN appeal FOR sHIRTwAIsTs

On the editorial page of Saturday S
| Atlanta News appeared an appeal
from a minister for the adoption OF
the shirtwaist for preachers, lawyers,
lecturers and other public speakers as
we'll as the men who attend the public
gatherings during the excessive hot
weather, which has the endorsement OF
the brilliant John Temple Graves, ed
itor of the Atlanta News, and we see
no reason why it should not receive
the approval of every sensible per-
son. Men are lovers of ease and com
fort. and if the shirtwaist We're
adopted there would be more of them
attend religious services on hot Sun
days, whereas now they remain at
home and sit around in their shirt
sleeves scanning the papers when they
ought to be at church.
During the recent term of the city
court of Dawson Judge Raines eXhib-
tied his sound common sense, which
is one of his strong characteristics
by telling the jurors and litl-
giants to remove their coats and take
things easy if they wished. Every
man in the court house appreciated
this courtesy from Judge Raines, and
most of them availed themselves of
his suggestion.
The unseemly appearance of sus-
penders in the stores, on the streets
and IN the shops would be controlled
if the shirtwaist fashion were success
fully launched, and would afford the
men an opportunity to dress neatly
and be as comfortable as the ladies
in their cool, fimsy dresses.
The minister's name is not signed to
the article and his identity is lost, but
his suggestion exhibits the fact that
he is a man of sound common sense
judgment, and there is no reason why
his plan should not meet with APP
proval.
