BONDS OR NO BONDS ISN'T QUESTION We WISH TO DISCUSS
Another Nature May Figure in the Discussion
t. Extent. Watch Guarantees Is the Question

Did you ever stop and think what a
guarantee really is, or the value of a
guarantee? When a man says "My
personal guarantee is behind the ar
ticle" somehow or other it makes an
impression on you, and you are pref
ty we'll satisfied to accept it. But if
you will stop and consider under what
circumstances a personal guarantee is
good you will hesitate to take such
guarantees without considering the
circumstances in the future. Suppose,
for example, two merchants should
give you their personal guarantee on
a watch-differen watches, of course.
One of these merchants is not watch
maker or jeweler; the other is. The
jeweler says, IT know the quality and
amount of gold in this watch, and it
is sufficient to cause it to wear twenty
years with the proper care" The
other fellow says, This is a twenty
year case, bearing a stamped guaran-
tee to that effect. and my personal
guarantee is behind it, so you can de-
pend on il" A stamped guarantee is
valueleSs, unless the proper amount
of gold is there. You will admit that,
so we will throw that out as useless; 1t
don't amount to a hill of beans.
"Well," you say, 81 have his person
al guarantee, and have confidence that
he will give me another watch" Now
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1906-04-04

the value of personal guarantee is
brought into play. You will note
that one man guaranteed what he
knew to be fact, and the other guar
anteed what he thought to be fact.
To test their value we will suppose
that both the ieweler and the other
merchant is out of business. Which
guarantee would you prefer? II the
other fellow is in business, and he is
honorable, he will make the guarantee
good should the goods not be what he
thought them to be land as standard
goods are not usually sold except to
the legitimate jewelry trade they are
likely to be of 'the just as good" va
riety). If he is out of business you
have no recourse. The jeweler guar
antees only what he knows to be good,
and whether he is in or out of bust
ness, dead or alive, it makes no diff
ference.
Is the man you bought your watch
of out of business? What is the value
of your guarantee?
Guarantees given at Adams Jewel
nv Store are based on the amount of
gold used in the manufacture of an
article, not on what somebody says.
We study our business, we know
our business, we do nothing and
handle nothing but an exclusive jew
elry business. We want your trade.

BONDS WILL NEED 223 VOTES
City Registration Books Closed Sat-
urdaY. Sewer Bond Election
Is lust One Week Of.

The registration for the sewer bond
election closed Saturday night, and
when the last name had been written
and Clerk Bell shut the book and put
it away there had been enrolled on its
pages the names of 1874 voters of Daw-
son. OF this number nine are negroes.
There are about 375 white voters in
the city, and it is therefore seen that
there are about 40 who will not be in
position to vote on either side of the
question.
1t will require two-thirds of the
registered voters to carry bonds, and
if the issue is authorized at the cleo
ton next Wednesday 223 votes will
have to be cast for bonds.
The advocates of bonds seem SAN
guine that they will be successful, while
those who oppose a further increase
of the debt of the city at this time are
equally confident.

select date for the committee meet
ing without consulting the members,
and when the meeting is called it will
be for the date desired by the largest
number of the committeeman.

letter to Mr.. w. w. Black, Dawson

Dear Sir. Porterhouse, so much;
neck, so much; all the way between.
Just so with paint. Devoe lead and
zinc is the porterhouse. Nobody
wants the neck; the between, some say,
is good enough for them.
But Devoe costs less, not more, than
between. Lead and oil is between; it
is the old-fashio1 paint. But zinc has
come in. Zinc toughens white lead.
Devoe lead and zinc is the paint that
wears twice as long as lead and oil.
Mr.. John N. Deitle, Fair Haven, N.
Y, writes:
Mr.. Charles Hollenbeck of this place painted
h his house three years ago with Deyoe lead
with lead and oil. Today the sons house looks
AS well as the day it was painted. while the faith
er's house has all chalked off and needs painting
very badly. The father says he will paint with

FARTHER NORTH.

Commander Robert E. Peary has
failed to reach tie pole but ne has the
distinction of making new record in
arctic explorations by reaching 81 de-
grees, minutes. which is 80 minutes
nearer the pole than attained by the
Duke D'Abrazzi in 1900.
OF course no commercial value at
taches to these polar expeditions,
niether will there be even if the pole
should ultimately be discovered, but
the scientific Importance is great.
probably greater than can be appreci-
atcd at the present time. But the
chief interest in these explorations
lies in the object lesson they afford
of that logged persistency, resolute
will. and superiority to difficulties
which mark the human race generally
but which some races seem to more
fully possess than others. and which
certainly are especially strong with
the American people.
These are the qualities which, when
intelligently expressed, ultimately
bring success to both individuals and
nations. The pole may not be reach
ed for years to come but judging from
the results of past attempts the end
will at last be gained and farther
north will give place to farthest
north. -

AN IMPRESSIVE SPECTACLE E.

1t is doubtful if more impressive
spectacle is ever afforded than that of
a people registering it's unfettered
will at the polls. This was the
scene last week when the voters of
more than forty states chose the men
who are to officially serve them for
given time. Although an off year
is not quite SO important as presi-
Dental year, yet the principle. that
of representative government, which
gave the scene its impressiveness was
the same.
Doubtless the working of this prin-
ciple of government by the people
reveals some defects in the machinery
by which it is operated. But the ex-
perience of the future, like that of
the past. will suggest remedies by
which the principle will more thar
ever express the will of the people
and operate for their benefit.
Probably most people whose ante
election hopes were not realized hae
temporary misgivings as to the sue
cess of our political institutions. ye
there is not an American that would
forego his right to vote or exchange
our form of government for some
other. That principle which our fore
fathers won for US is dear to every
one, and never more so than on the
day and morrow of election.

EDIT o RIAL
NEED OF LOCAL PA rRloTIsM.

While there is no lack of national
patriotism there is too often an
absence of local patriotism. and yet
rightly considered one is as needful
as the other. We do not mean that
one is as important as the other, be-
cause the nation is greater and more
important than any community within
it's borders. None the less every
citizen should be loyal to the COM
munity in which he makes his home.
in which he secures his living. and in
which is closest domestic and other
interests lie. He should show his
loyalty to his town by seeking in
every legitiamte way to advance its
material, moral. and other interests.
1t is here so many fail. and not
only fail but prove actually disloyal.
They speak of the advantages of
other places but not of their own.
and they go elsewhere to trade in
stead of patronizing the business men
of their own city, even though. as
is generally the case. they have to
pay more before the Transaction is
finished than they would have to pay
at home. No community can prosper
as it ought where this practise pre-
walls. 1t is not the merchant else
where, most certainly not the great
department store of the large city.
that pays Its taxes. develops its in
dustries. supports the schools and
churches, or makes it his home.
The spirit of local patriotism will
express itself in we'll conceived meth
DDS to improve the city's appearance.
in promoting its wealth, in develop
ing its resources. and in raising its
intellectual and moral tone. Along
such lines local patriotism in almost
any community may be largely and
profitably increased without any
danger of becoming narrowly selfish.

site. and the removal of the opera
house to the lot just north where it
can be used as {. dance hall and for
such purposes as would not be best to
admit to an up-to-date opera house.
The portion now used as stage
could be made into kitchen and the
old part would be popular for such
things as rummage sales exhibitions
suppers etc. An experienced theater
manager tells US that a good opera
house will increase the receipts from
one-thitd to one half. and we have
no doubt this is true. At any rate
Denison greatly needs some place of
public assemblage that will be con-
venient, suitable, and safe. The
town-people as whole will get much
more enjoyment from it than they will
from hotel.
We trust that the preliminaries
will be made at once and we teel sure
that the Germania Verein will be
willing to cooperate in every way
possible.
