SHAW WAS IMPERTINENT.
N Government EmpIoye Was Locked
in Jail at BIackshear.


A special from Blackshear,. Ca.
says: This community was consider
ably stirred up yesterday afternoon
when Silas Parker, a well-to-do resi-.
dent of the county about three miles
distant, rode into the city and inform
ed the authorities that his wife had
been insulted by a stranger named
Silas Shaw, who fed precipitately.
1t developed that the stranger is an
employe of the United States agricul-
tural department, an entomologist
who is travelling through the country
preparing reports for the department.
He stopped in out of the rain at Mr..
Parker's home. Mr.. Parker was then
in the field. When he returned his
wife, in tears, told him of the visit of
the stranger, and said that he had
been very impertinent, but had fed
when Mr.. Parker started for the
house.
Shaw was apprehended here and
placed under arrest. He spent the
night in Jail. He was liberated after
a conference between the parties con
cerned, the prosecutor paying the
costs of the criminal proceeding.

When asked his opinion of the
Booker Washington-Wa namaker So
cial equality incident at Saratoga
Governor Vardaman of Mississippi
said:
"My views about this matter |
think, are pretty well known. | will
saw, however, that l think the whole
affair is discreditable to the niger.
A white man or white woman who will
associate on terms of social equality
with niger is not half as good as
niger, and therefore, in my judgment,
the saddle-cOlored citizen from Tuske-
gee is the one party to this affair who
has suffered social degradation.
CIT also reveals Booker's real pur-
pose and gives the lie to his former
utterances. 1t does another good
thing. 1t places in their true light
and locates in the line of march
certain brand of theological politi-
clans and Ogdenite nigger-coddling
white men of the south who must now
take Booker to their swelling bosoms
as he really is and all he represents
or repudiate him altogether.
"This affair is the ripening fruit,
the belated but natural outgrOwth, of
the fifteenth amendment, the logical
sequence of this rank rot about the
HIGHER education, social elevation and
nolitical equality of the niger as
race. 1t is the forerunner of serious
trouble. This apparently unimpor-

THE LAUGH ON REFORMERs
Alabama Dispatch That Is Interest
ing. That State Wants GeOr-
gia's Freight Rates.
From the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
The evening papers on Monday lex
cept the Atlanta Journal printed this
item of telegraphic news from Ala
bama:
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Aug. 2l.-Ru-
Jelks calls the extra session of the
legislature together, as he says he will
do when the frost falls, that among
other propositions to be presented will
be law giving to Alabama the GeOr-
gia freight rates.
This will have the effect of cutting
short the arguments of those who are
making effort to get Hon. B. B. Co
mer, president of the Alabama state
railroad commission, to run for gov
ernOr.
While practically in the race, Mr..
Conner has not yet formally made his
announcement. If the legislature
adopts the law, which it is rumored it
will, the effect will be that the 'refOrm-
ers'' will have no foundations. This
will be a big boomerang for Dr. r.
M. Cunningham, the present lieutenant
governor, who is the only avowed
candidate in the field at present.
The Performers" in Alabama want
''the Georgia freight rate" and they
believe they will accomplish a great
thing if they get it. The Performers"
in Georgia assert that "the Georgia
freight rate" is Oppressive" and
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES it gives whole
sale merchants in Alabama great
advantage over the wholesale mer-
chants in Georgia.
And there you are, gentlemen!
The honest soul in search of the
truth sees in both states a campaign
on for governor-politics, politics,
politics.

WATSON GOING TO VIRGINIA?
Reported That He Is Negotiating for
the Famous Gunston Hall.

the Famous Gunston Hall.
A Washington dispatch says: Hon.
Thomas E. Watson is said to have in
tentions of taking up his political res
idence in Virginia. He is reported to
be negotiating for the purchase of
Gunston Hall, in Fairfax county, To-
Gated on the Potomac river, not far
from Washington. It is understood
that the negotiations for the transfer
OF the property to Mr.. Watson is be-
ing conducted by a local real estate
agent, and the terms of the bargain
are about completed to the satisfac-
ton of the parties concerned.
Gunston Hall is one of the most at
tractive pieces of river property on
the Potomac, second only to that of
Mount Vernon, in the immediate vicin-
ity. Virginians are puzzled to know
what Mr.. Watson's political aspira-
tions are in taking up his residence in
the Old Dominion. There are various
differences drawn as to his motive, be-
yond desiring to secure an attractive
home around which cluster many his
torical associations connected with the
early days of Virginia.

While stock-taking and annual bal
ances come on the first of the year, in
January, it is also true that in local
business circles the mercantile twelve
months, so far as reckoning up pros
poets for trade is concerned, comes
about September 1st. 1t is the ending
of the dull summer months and the be-
ginning of the fall trade. 1t is always
looked forward to with interest and
speculatively considered before its ar
rival.
The advent of September marks the
beginning of the cotton season in
earnest, the arrival of fall goods and
the preparations incident to the APP
proach of the winter season. Best of
all, it marks the beginning of the fall
trade, always the busiest time of the
wear for everybody. 1t is also true
that it marks the ending of the early
closing movement with many of the
stores of the city, and the adoption of
the winter hours for keeping open.
About 5000 bales of new cotton
have already been received in Dawson
and the new cotton season and fall
trade will both soon be on in full
blast.

GALLOWAY TO BRAVE FEVER
Methodist Bishop PrOffers His Ser
vices in Any Part OF the
Stricken Territory.

The following dispatch from Merid-
ian, Miss, will be read with interest
by many in Dawson and throughout
this section. Bishop Galloway pre-
sided over the South Georgia Confer
ence when that body held it's annual
session in this city some years ago:
"Bishop Charles B. Galloway, who
is well known and greatly beloved in
Meridian, has offered his services as
yellow fever nurse or as minister
at any infected place where he can be
of service. This is not the first time
the good bishop has offered his SER
vices in this respect.
Speaking of this offer the Clarion
Ledger says:
" Several years ago, when yellow
fever had Vicksburg in its grasp,
Bishop Galloway and his wife left
their comfortable home at Jackson,
Miss, and went to Nicksburg to nurse
the fever patients.
'BlShop Galloway heard that there
was a saloon keeper at Vicksburg, a
former member of his church, who
was dying with yellow fever. He lived
in an out of the way place over his
saloon, and Bishop Galloway told his
wife that he was going down there to
nurse him. His wife objected, and in
order to try to prevent him said, eff
you 60 you go without me. !" Bishop
Galloway said, Then I'll go alone 8"
But when the train pulled out for
Vicksburg the husband and wife went
on their way to Vicksburg together
+" Just seven days after nursing the
yellow fever patient of Vicksburg
Bishop Galloway was stricken with
the fever, but recovered in time to
continue service to the sick"
We all have one mother but fore
fathers.

NEW BUSINESS YEAR HAS NOW OPENED
Coming in to Dawson By Hundreds of Bales One of
Prosperous in History of City Expected

Throughout the city's business
circles the approach of the fall months
is looked forward to with greater in
terest than for number of years, and
hopeful tone perVades every branch
of business activity. While Dawson s
retail merchants always do an inn
mense business, this city being the
market place for large territory en-
bracing one of the most prosperous
sections of Georgia, it is unanimously
agreed that the outlook this year is
bright and promising. Merchants are
expecting very large fall and winter
business, and in consequence larger
stocks of goods are being bought than
ever before.
The generally prosperous condition
of the farmers of this section, as well
as the expectation of higher prices for
cotton, is responsible for the expeta-
tions of the business men of the city.
81 am confident, " said well-knOwn
business man, land my opinion is but
the sentiment of the great majority,
that Dawson will enjoy a great sea-
son of prosperity. The merchant who
does not prepare for a record break
ing business will make a mistake. "

SHOW ENORMOUS INCREASE
DIGESTS OF ALL THE COUNTIES
SHOW GAIN OF $37, 1914, OS4.
Only Three Counties in the State
Show a Decrease in Tax Values.
To Decide Tax Rate.

All the tax digests are in from the
l37 counties of the state and the total
increase in values of 1877, 1894, O84 is
shown. This is the largest increase in
property values ever known in the
history of the state in one year, and
when it is remembered that the total
increase last year from the same
source was more than s25, 900, 600 the
increase this year is regarded as
marvellous.
This increase does not include the
railroad returns. 1t leaves out about
S60,OOO,O0O worth of property, which
will show somewhat of an increase
after all the arbitrations are conclud~
ed.
Have Decided Tax Rates.
Governor Terrell and Comptroller
General Wright have had a meeting
and determined upon the state tax rate
for this year. The rate has been fixed
at $3.50 on the 81, 1000, an increase
of 10 cents over last years rate.
Even if the tax rate for 1905 we're
fixed at the full limit allowed by the
Legislature of S4.98 the amount raised
on basis of 1910, OOO,O of taxable
property would still fall short of the
amount needed for the expenses of the
state government.
This is due to the fact that the legiS-
latures of 1904 and 1905 appropriated
for the current year some 1888, 600
more than for 1904. OF this there is
5000, 900 additional on the school fund,
S75, 900 made available at once for
new waterworks plant at the state SAN
itarium, 500, 900 for the state reforma-
tory, and various other amounts for
deficits in the salary list, pension fund
and other matters.
Only three counties of 1877 showed
decrease in returns this year. These
counties are Echols, Taliferro and
Jasper, and the decrease from all
three counties together was only So,
600.
