WAS STRICKEN BY HEAT
Good Citizens SuCCumbs to Illness
SuperinduCed by Extreme
Hot Weather.

Mr.. H. B. Lynch died at his home
near Dawson Monday night after an
illness of three weeks, the direct re-
suit of a stroke from extreme heat.
Mr. Lynch was at work in the field
near midday when he became COM
pletely Frustrated by the suns rays,
and he never recovered from the
stroke thus sustained.
The remains were inferred in Sardis
cemetery yesterday afternoon, a large
concourse of sorrowing relatives and
friends following the body to its last
resting place.
The deceased was IS years of age,
and was one of the county's most es-
teemed citizens. He is survived by a
wife and one daughter, eleven years
old, to whom the sincere sympathy of
friends and neighbors is extended.

EIGHT NEW COUNTIES CREATED.

South Georgia Got All Bat One of Them.
Triton, COrdele and Cairo COuntysites.
The senate Thursday morning com
pleted the discussion of the new coun-
ty matter by passing the remaining
four county bills.
There was a sigh of relief when the
last bill was disposed of, as the new
county proposition was very bur
densome one. Senators and repre~
sentatives were under the fire of hum
dreds of visiting delegations during
the session of the legislature.
The new counties which we're created
are as follows:
Jeff Davis county, with Hazlehurst
as the county site.
Stephens county, with ToccOa as the
county site.
Jenkins county, with Millen as the
county site.
Turner county, with Ashburn as the
county site.
Grady county, with Cairo as the
county site.
Toombs county, with Lyons as the
county site.
Tiff county, with Triton as the coun-
ty site.
Crisp county. with Cordele as the
county site.

CAPT. WILKINSON FOR MAJOR
Dawson Officer Will Probably Be Pro-
NOTED. Changes in Regiment and
in Dawson Guards.

An announcement from Colonel w.
E. Wooten has been made public to
the effect that he will resign as com
handing officer of the Fourth regiment
and that Lieutenant Colonel T. M.
Hopkins will also give up his position
as second ranking officer. 1t is eX-
pected that these designations will be
forthcoming in a short time.
1t is now thought that the vacancies
thus created will be filled by Major
r. E. L. Wylley of brownsville as
colonel and Major Peter Preer of Co
lumbus as lieutenant colonel, which
course will leave two majorships to
be filled. 1t is believed that Captain
H. A. Wilkinson of Dawson and Cap
tain Jos. r. Mann of Albany will be
elected without opposition to these
places.
The election of Captain Wilkinson
as major would consequently leave the
captaincy of the Dawson Guards to be
filed, and there is good deal of

catch a new hold
And it doesn't take large can of
oil to lubricate the machine on it's
$500 mile .'run." 1t just requires
one-tenth of drop to oil the entire
watch for a years service. But it has
just as great need of that one-tenth of
a drop as the locomotive has for its
barrels of oil.
These are hard facts of scientific
mechanics, illustrated by the unan-
swerable figures of arithmetic. What
is the reasonable inference to be drawn
therefrom? Simply this-that if you
would preserve the time excepting quail
tiles of your watch you will not let it
go uncared for until the delicate piv-
OTIS are worn by dirt and they pite-
ously beg to be cleaned and oiled
newly and set agOing. You will take
it to Adams Jewelry Store once every
twelve months for cleaning and adj
justing.
Has your watch made its 3, 500 miles?
Yes? Then it ought to be put into
our watch infrmary, where it will re-
ceive the attention of a competent
physician and nurse.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT YOUR WATCH
Probably One of the Most Wonder
fuI Achievements of Human Ingenuity.

You carry in your lower left vest
pocket the smallest, most delicate ma
chine that was ever constructed of the
same number of parts. About 175 diff
ferent pieces of material enter into its
construction, and upward of 2, 400 sep
arate operations are comprised in its
manufacture.
A watch is really one of the most
wonderful achievements of human in
genuity. Some of the facts connected
with its performance are simply in
credible, when considered in total. A
blacksmith strikes several thousand
blows on his anvil in a day, and is
right glad when knocking-off time
comes: but the impulse jewel of
watch makes every day and day after
day 432, 900 impacts against the fork,
or 157, $50, 900 blows in a year without
stop or rest. or 3, 153, 900, 900 in the
short space of twenty years. These
Supplying figures are far beyond the
grasp of our feeble intellects; but the
marvel does not stop here. 1t has
been estimated that the power that
moves the watch is equiva lent to only
four times the force used in a fea's
Jump: consequently it might be called
a four-hea power. One horse power
would suffice to run 270,000,000
watches. Now, the balance-wheel Of
watch is moved by the fOur-hea-
power one and fOrty-thre9 One-hun-
dredths inches with each vibration, or
3, 5588 miles, continuously. in one year.
1t never stops to spit on its hands to

section this season. Competition is
the life of trade" and the representa-
ton of all these prominent firms by
energetic buyers will insure the best
possible prices to those bringing
their cotton to Dawson.
The Receipts to Date.
Dawson still holds the record for
receipts by wagon. The cotton fields
are fast getting white, and the staple
has rolled into local warehouses rap
idly during the past week. More cot
ton has been received here than in
any other town in the state up to
now, it is stated. At the time OF 60
ing to press the total wagon receipts
were /, $50 bales. Good middling was
quoted at l04 cents.

speculation as to who will succeed to
that rank. 1t would seem probable,
however, that First Lieutenant Peddy
would get the place in the event he de-
sires it. In addition to the contigent
vacancy in the captaincy there is al
ready vacancy in the second lieu
tenantcy which must soon be filled.
Sergeant Walter Christie, who was
sometime ago elected to this place, has
never taken the required examination,
and this default will compel another
ballOting for the position.
