IN FINE LlNGERI
DAINTY GARMENTS CALL FOR
 LABOR AND EXPENSE.
Embroidery and Lace in Profusion Mark the Up-to-Date styles- Many of the Models May
 Be Made at Home.

A very clever way of utilizing half worn shirt waists is to cut them low, take in side seams under the arms. en- large the armholes, outlining the gar ment with lace and insertion. No labor or expense is spared in the making of underwear. and entire garments of finely hand-embroidered linen are much prized. Alternate rows of em- broidery, lace or closely-tucked mate rial are also frequently employed. h. serts of lace or embroidery are new and effective, and lace insertion may be appliqued in dainty manner. Mar row lace should finish the edges of the garment and beading also may be used, baby or a trifle wider satin rib bon being run through it. Sometimes a sleeve not quite full length is desir- able, then the sleeve provided may be used, shortening to the desired depth. Lace edging should finish the lower edge.
 Finely tucked and band-embroidered materials are used for the yokes, and the sheerest of dainty laces for trim ming. Motifs of lace are often set in on the gown and on the sleeves, and intricate designs may be appliqued with lace insertions. Hemstitching is another popular mode of finishing un. derwear
 Of course, the French embroidery will always be favorite with many people. The fine but somewhat heavier linen that is necessary to give body to the embroidery is an objection to some on account of its close weave and greater warmth. This need not count

And now comes Mr. Mercer with
many plausible reasons why the dis

do to regulate it when the legisla-

THE REASON.

If putting out the dispensary
should necessitate the levy of a
$94.5O tax rate that would only 90
to prove the ravaging effects Of this
terrible dispensary method of gath
ering revenue, for it is a fact known
to all men that the county was never
in such fix as to require it before
we had the dispensary. And we
challenge any man to show a county
in the state that calls for such a
rate, and there are 1913 dry ones.
Thus, you see plainly that these
figures are clear out of all reason.
$3.50 is conservative estimate, as
shown by the county and city records
in another column of this issue.

sHREwD HOG THIEVES.
They skinned the POrkers in the
Field to Destroy Evidence.

II
Mr.. G. T. Marshall, one Of the
well-known farmers of the Eleventh
district, reports something original
in the operations of hog thieves.
Mr.. Marshall recently lost two OF
his porkers, and in searching for
them found evidences where they
had been killed near swamp. In
stead of carrying the hogs home and
cleaning them in the usual manner
fbe thieves shrewdly destroyed any
tell-tale evidence by skinning them
and leaving the hides in the field.
This is something entirely new
and shows that in this progressive
age there is advancement and enter
prise in hog stealing as well as IN
other things.

The advocates of the dispensary
claim that should liquor be voted
out the tax rate on property located
in the country would be $3.50 per
thousand, and people living in town
will have to pay a rate of $34.5O
per thousand. Now let's take the
facts and figures from the records
and see if this is true, and If not
ask ourselves the question why is
it that they impose upon our creduli-
ty and thus mislead us?"
They say that if you vote out the
dispensary the rate for county pur-
poses will be ten dollars per thou
sand. The records show that all the
dispensaries paid into the county
treasury last year was $19,31S, and
this is considerably more than they
paid in any previous year. The
amount of property returned for tax
alton in 1906 was approximately
three million seven hundred thou
SAND QOIldIS. "A levy VI PO'VV PSi
thousand would raise $18,50O; add
to this $500, the amount derived
from the road tax, and you have
$4,000, a sum sufficient to defray
the expenses of the county for one
year. Now if a $500 rate is suffi-
cient why should any more be levied.
The state cannot levy more than
$500 per thousand-it does not levy
quite so much-so you see that your
taxes will be about $1,000 per thou
sand. the amount you paid before
we went into the liquor business, dis
pensing the vilest stuff that has ever
cursed humanity The country prop
erty owner sees very plainly what
he will probably have to pay on his
property. Now let us see what the
people of Dawson can reasonably eX-
pect. And to get the most reliable
estimate possible we have, with the
help of Mr.. IL. E. Bell, gone carefully
into the financial condition of the
city, and have made just such an es-
innate as we would make were we
preparing for tax levy. The figures
follow:

FACTS AND FIGURES
CAREFULLY COLLECTED

+ fact that taxable property will prop
ably be considerably increased this
| year. So you see that it is possible
\ that the city government could pc
| run with a ten-dollar tax rate the
! same that we have been paying. We
know that this sounds unreasonable,
but it is explained by the fact that
large sums of money have been put
/ into public property, expenses we
will not have again in twenty years
or more.
The dispensaries sent off out of
the county last year cash to the
amount of seventy three thousand
dollars, a sum sufficient to pay the
adyalorem taxes for the county about
four years, and, if economically adj
ministered, enough to pay the prop
erty tax for both the county and city
of Dawson for two years. what
have we got in return for it?
But the liquor man says that II
you abolish the dispensary we will
have more drunkenness and crimes
than we have now. This, we think,
is a reflection on the intelligence OF
this community, together with the
1872 counties that have voted 1t out,
and are by Overwhelming maJorltles
keeping it out. You had as well say
that to put a thing under mans
nose makes it harder for him to get,
or to remove it from him makes 1t
easier to get. We can't believe that
there will be more than One-third the
liuuor consumed under prohibition
regime.
If prohibition produces such re-
suits as these dispensaryites say it
does in heavens name tell us why
it is that the good people in 122 OF
the 145 counties of Georgia have
voted liquor out and continue to
vote it out at every election?
But the thing that caps the climax
of all meanness is the effort these
people are making to override in
telligence and virtue with ignorance
and vice, taking advantage OF the
ignorant negro's love of liquor to buy
him in and with these votes defeat
the will of the best people of the
county. We are glad to know that
some of the best negroes in the
county will not lend themselves to
this iniquity.
Men of Terrell county, the ques-
ton is up to you. Will you rule
vice or will vice rule you?
