CAUGHT ON THE CURB.

There was more political talk
in town Saturday than in long time
before. The candidates were busy
ear-wigging the dear voters, and
prospective candidates had out their
feelers. The people are paying
mighty little attention to politics
these days.
Official statements of the condt-
ton of the national banks of Daw-
son are printed in The News. They
are two solid institutions, and make
capital showings.
The Methodists are going ahead
with preliminary arrangements for
building their Sunday school annex.
They propose to begin work on it
this spring.
Miss Minnie Bridges, who has
been quite sick for two weeks, is
reported to be improving. This will
be very gratifying news to her hosts
of friends.

DOLEO OUT IN PITTANCES
VETERANS DISPLEASED WITH
QUARTERLY PAYMENTS.

Like Swallow of Water to "a Thirsty
Man. Why Change Was Made,
and Money Distributed in Mites.
The first quarterly payment of
pensions begun last week, and since
then Judge Cheatham has been pay
ing veterans and widows of veterans
the first quarterly installment.
Thirty-nine of the fifty pensioners
in the county have been paid since
last Wednesday, and the others will
probably get their money before the
end of this week.
The Terrell county veterans are
anything but pleased with the new
system of paying pensions, which
was inaugurated under the present
administration, and have not hest
tated to say so. The same report
comes from the other counties of the
state, the dissatisfaction being gen
eral.
Until this year confederate veter-
ans and their widows received their
pension money in lump sum once a
year-in January or February. The
average pension is $50 and it counts
for something when it comes all at
once.
Under the new law the first quar-
terly payment of SIS has just been
made. The doing out of the pen
,;o1c -, euoI nittapoac nv tho STATE
is like giving a man with a July
thirst a swallow from tea cup.
Many Of the veterans and widows
buy food and clothing all the year
on credit on the strength OF that $50
lump sum pension, and when the end
of the year comes they owe it, prac-
tically every cent of it, and they
must pay up if they hope to maintain
their credit.
But with only SIS in February in
stead of $50, which they used to
have, they can't pay up and their
credit is gone.
While many of them will get along
some way or other numerous cases of
distress are reported from various
sections of the state as the result of
this quarterly payment plan, and it
is not surprising that the old vets and
widows do not like it.
Governor Smith is quoted by the
daily papers as saying that the prin-
cipal reason why the law was
changed was to get money with
which to pay the school teachers
more promptly.
The veterans heartily agree that
the school teachers should be prompt
ly paid, but they do not think it
should be done at the expense of
their comfort and convenience.
Already the repeal of the quarterly
payment law is being talked Of.
Accuracy in filling prescriptions is
the speciality at Geise's Pharmacy.

An IMPORTANT MOVEMENT
COUNTY LIBRARY AND IMPROVE.
MENT ASSOCIATION.
Was Organized by the Teachers Sat
urday. Met in the Library
Room i'm Dawson.
DOM in Dawson.

AAOOD III DdWSOHs
Some of the most progressive of
the Terrell county teachers met in
the Dawson library room Saturday
morning and formed a County School
Library and Improvement Associa-
ton with Professor Morton of Dow
erel as president and Professor Now
ell of Mt. Olive as secretary.
The object of the association is to
encourage reading among the pupils
in the schools, and to raise the stand
ard of literature used by the youth
of the county. To do this they pro-
pose to make an effort to get every
teacher in the county to either start
a library in his or her own school,
or to cooperate with several and
form a travelling library. If the
president and secretary could trans
NIT some of their enthusiasm it
would not be long before every teach
er would be at work like a beaver.
L AlC IllIlC hdO pdooCu WuCh q ClIlu .
education is confined to the pages of
text book and every up-to-date
teacher is alive to the fact that either
he or the parent must superintend
the supplementary reading, and out
side of the home library the best So
luton of the problem is for each
school to have a library of its own.
The state federation of woman's
clubs sends out travelling libraries
for county schools, but the teachers
of Terrell county feel that it would
be doing the people of their commu-
mites an injustice to call for outside
help in this matter, so they propose
| to help themselves. Owing to the
weather and other causes there was
not a very full meeting Saturday
morning, and no definite plan OF
work was mapped out, but Professor
Morton has called another meeting
| for Saturday, March 14th, at 1
o'clock in the library room in the
| city hall, at which time he hopes to
| have a full attendance and get things
down to working order.
At the meeting on Saturday the
Dawson library association extended
cordial invitation to the teachers tC

ing room at any time thev visit DaW.
