MIR. STEVENS APPOINTMENT.

The appointment of Hon. 0. B.
Stevens as railroad commissioners to
succeed Hon. J. Pope Brown has been
made by Governor Terrell.
1t is a we'll bestowed honor. Mr..
Stevens has made a model commits
sioner of agriculture. Under his
management of this bureau no depart
ment of the state government has been
more wisely regulated, Mr.. Stevens
having brought it up to high stand
ard of excellence. 1t is but natural to
suppose that the same intelligence and
ability that have characterized him in
this capacity will distinguish his ad-
ministration of the duties of railroad
commissioner.
There is much qualification over
Mr.. Stevens appointment in Terrell
county and Dawson, his home. His
host of friends congratulate him on
this honor.

DAWSON PosToFFICE RECEIPTS

Local postal receipts are pretty
rood indication of a towns growth
and progress. 1t will be seen by ref
erence to the local columns of The
News, the report of Postmaster Alex
ander for the fiscal year, ending June
Goth, shows the largest amount of
business ever done by the Dawson
Office and an increase of 81, 254. AZ over
receipts of the last fiscal year. Only
about $500 was lacking to raise the
Office from third to second class.
Dawson's growth in point OF bust
ness and population cannot be ques-
toned. The postal receipts are but
one of the many evidences of its pro-
gress. And you can't find a single
Dawsonian who doesn't believe the
town has bright future before it. Its
past progress-the sort that is even
and conservative, and withal whole
some-and it's present well directed eff
forts argue a bright tomorrow for it.

4 SPECIAL from Carrolton says,
"Reports coming in from all over the

couples marrying" We wonder how
many of them got blowing up.
IT'S unkind to even insinuate that
all this hot air from the candidates
will ripen the peach crop prematurely.
Are we to infer that anything has been
said that would make the peaches
blush?
WE haven't heard anything about
reformation from Judge Dick Russell
vet. Circulation is his long suit. He
made many warm friends in those for
tv counties he visited.
THEY tried to kill a negro up In
New York the other day for interfer-

can't recall any similar case OF mob
violenc e in the south.
THE Pacific route was OF course
taken by the japanese peace ENJOYS.
Let us hope they will choose the pa

THE next thing we know some OF

A FELLOW out in Washington kill

If that $4,000, 600 just given by
Mr.. Rockefeller to education is faint

THE Savannah News thinks the
noise of a gubernatorial campaign
has opened up too early. Col. Estill
is no doubt saving wood in silence.
SUPPOSE some of the agricultural
department officials do use the word
in giving vent to their feelings. 1t is
natural for them to dam the leak.
LAWSON observes that Roosevelt is
helpless in the SYSTEMS net. Does he
mean to convey the impression that
the president is a sucker?
LET US at least hope that leakage
will not occur in the seed division of
the agricultural department. 1t might
cut off our supply.
SEED is not the only thing the farm
er expects to get out of cotton this
year. There ought to be nice velvet
in it.

an evil name are disappointed when
they fail to live up to it.

THERE is every indication that this

acreage is certainly below the aver

county, where excessive rains have
worked much damage to the plant.
But abnormally high prices are not to

ton spinners or business men general

an over-acreage the following season,

THE OWNING ROD.
It's First Recorded Use WaE For Lo'

It's First Recorded Use WaE For Lo-
eating Mineral Lodes.
Professor ". T. Barrett, F. r. s.,
says that the birthplace Of the mod
ern divinlng rod, whether used to locate
minerals or water, was in the mining
districts of Germany, probably the
Earz mountains. It's first recorded use
was IN prospecting for mineral lodes.
The first mention Of the use Of the
modern rod was II the latter part OF
the fifteenth century. Books published
in the sixteenth century have pictures
Of miners searching for mineral Veins
in a very businesslike way by noting
the dipping of hazel or willow roo,
the forked ends OF which are held In
the hands Of an expert.
German miners brought the forked
rod into England toward the end OF the
sixteenth century for the exploitation
of the Cornish mines. Professor Bar
rett points out that the dropping char
acter of the willow was probably be-
lieyed to have something to do with the
minerals concealed in the ground and
that 1t was but natural to cut light
brench from one Of the trees and to
see If 1t dropped in prospecting for
ores" Thus the "dowsing POD came
into universal use among the miners Of
Europe, although it was soon believed
that only certain persons had the gift
Of using the rod.

Walking on the outskirts Of Bolton

he found that the two wings were
slightly turned in opposite directions,
which caused them to revolve in fall

male persuasion spend away from
home especially when some one is try
ing to make them a visit
AT first Mrs. Parvenu thought that
1t was because they didn't know how
much money she had. This notion last
ed until she discovered that Miss Blue
blood, who lived on one of the side
streets. and wss. the most popular girl
in the set that Mrs. Parvenu was try
Ing to percolate into. didn't have a
large enough income to even take a
cab. and supported hersels by giving
lessons in painting on china
Then Mrs Parvenu came to the con-
clusion that 1t was rank sectional
prejudice that kept her out Of the So
ciety columns. IF she or her husband
had had the good sense to have been
east Of the Alleghanies all would have
been well. People who live along the
storfed Hudson or on the banks Of the
blundering Bronx believe irmIy that
the country west of the Mississippi is
still inhabited principally by Indians
and prairie dogs. and that the white
settlers subsist principally on corn
bread and bacon. That. said Mrs. Par
venu was the reason why she had not
received the glad hand from the elite
of the metropolis.
The only trouble with this theory
was that 1t didn't seem to apply to her
husband, at least so far as the men
were concerned They appeared to be
just as willing to sell him stocks in
the Goldbrick Lighting Corporation. or
to win his money on four kings. as
though he had lived in the enlightened
East all his life. To be sure. he didn't
get invited to very many pink teas or
dinner dances. but then he didn't want
to be- If man gets what he wants.
ne ought to be satisfied. The trouble
with the erstwhile Mary Jane was that
she got what she didn't want. and that
was solitary confinement.
For while she was UP tree, to
use vulgar colloquialism OF the coun-
try In which her youth was passed. If
her money couldn't get her into the
swim and her obscure birth didn't keep
