THAT COST is STILL UNPAID

Is Necessary to ''COme Across"
The $500 in costs due officers of
the court in the dispensary contest
case is still unsettled.
And it doesn't seem to be poster
ing anybody a great deal unless it is
the officers to whom the cost is due
and the attorneys who represented
he contestants, who feel in a meas
ure that they should see that it is
paid.
In response to the invitation, print
ed in The News two weeks ago, to
the hundred or more contestants to
call at the office of Attorney w. H.
Gurr and chip in their pro rata part
OF Sc each only two appeared, and
these did not leave the spondulix
that was expected of them.
The attorneys who are inter
esting themselves in trying to have
the final chapter concluded in the
litigation over the tank which made
Terrell county famous have now ad-
dressed the following circular letter
to each of their one hundred and ten
clients:
Dawson, Ga, Oct. 81, 190S.-Dear
Sir: In the Terrell county dispen-
sary contest case the costs of court
amount to something more than
$500. Judge Worrill decided this
case against the dispensary, and the
supreme court has finally affirmed
his judgment. Under the law the
persons who signed the petition for
the contest are liable for costs of
court, and the clerk is now required
under the law, to issue executions
against every person who signed the
petition for the full amount of the
cost. There are now about 10 per
the petition, and each one is liable
for the whole of the costs. If each
one will pay his part the cost will
only be about $500 each.
If you wait till execution issues
the cost may be considerably in
creased. 1t will be better for all par
ties for each one to pay his pro rata
without additional cost. If you will
see NJ. G. Sill, sheriff, and bring this
letter, he will sign the receipt below
which will show that you have paid
your $500, but is not a receipt in
iull unless all pay"
This letter is signed by Raines &
Gurr, J. R. Irwin and H. A. Wilkin-
son, the attorneys for the dispensary
contestants.

FIELD SECRETARY TESCH
OF THE WORLDS BARACA UNION
LECTURED IN DAWSON.
A Large Audience Heard Him Sneak
lmpressively and Interestingly of
Baraca-Philathea Work.

lmpresslvely and Interestingly of
Baraca-Philathea Work.
Mr.. Luther M. Tesch, secretary of
the Worlds Baraca Union, was greet
ed by large and appreciative audi
ence when he lectured at the BAPTIST
church in Dawson last week. The
baraca-Philathea classes were out en-
masse, for they realized that the oc-
caslon was an unusual opportunity.
Inc speaker was in touch with his
audience from start to finish. He
told OF the work from the beginning
with such earnestness and eIouuence
that we could but offer a prayer of
praise that the Lord had given to
America a type of christian manhood
such as is Mr.. Hudson of Syracuse,
~ y IN whose mind and heart the
Baraca work originated young
men at work for young men. all
school,"
The Importance of young women at
work for young women was realized,
and so the Philathea work had it's
birth
Mr.. Tesch went into the details of
the work and gave much valuable
information which we do not get
from the printed page. He has a
message, and he tells it we'll. Our
hearts responded with a sympathetic
thrill as he pressed the thought of
young men at work for young men.
in Mr.. Teschs own words:
God give us men that money can't
buy;
Men who have honor, virtue and
! power
God give us men! is the cry of the
! hour"
We feel that this lecture has
given an impulse and impetus to the
work which will result in lasting
good.
At the close of the lecture Mr..
Tesch was the guest of honor at an
informal reception given by the
Baraca-Philathea classes in the beau
tiful home of DR.. c. F. Crouch on
|Orange street. The house was bril-
liantly lighted. The spacious parlors
and broad verandas were artistic in
decorations of palms, ferns and vases
Of rare cut flowers, such flowers as
only bud and bloom beneath the sun
ny skies of Dixie. The refreshments
consisted of cake, cream and other
ices. The block cream in blue and
white was delicately refreshing. The
cakes CT different kinds entirely full
filled the southern conception of de-
licious.
Mr. Tesch was entertained while
here in the hospitable home of Mr..
and Mrs. F. M McNulty.
We hope his work will bring him
to our city again some time. He will
always find a cordial welcome and
a warm handshake from the Baraca-
Philathea of Dawson.

An important statement was

by this that we start Immediately
to perfect our organization through
out the state. We aIe absolutely
certain that the county central COM
mittees III majority are in favor
of the state committee and in concert
with us. II there are anv counties
in which the county central commit
tees will not cooperate we will
organize provisional committees for
that purpose. We believe that we
can carry the state for the democratic
ELECTORAL ticket and with that end
in view we are going TO work inn
q
vigorous campaign. We expect to
open the campaign throughout the
state about September is. None of
our speakers will solicit votes for
any man on the state ticket but will
discuss all issues as well as national.
'Should the supreme court decide
that our ticket is the doom ratio

Will solicit votes for our nominees.
Should that court decide on the
other hand, that the ticket nominat-
ed by the Dubois faction represents
the democratic party, then shall
turn over my office as chairman to
the chairman OF the Dubois ticket as
will also the gentlemen who have
been associated with me in this

I'VE believe the election of Mr..

effort to carry Idaho for him no

OPENING OF DEMO-
CRATIC HEADQUARTERS
Anti-DuboS Democrats Opened Campaign
Yesterday-fIeCtion of Bryan of
Greatest Importance.

Boise, Sept. 2.-The Democratic
state headquarters VIII re opened
tomorrow morning for the coming
state and national campaign in
suite of rooms in the Soma build
ing, located on the second floor and
numbered 231, 232, 233, i35 and
240. The headquarters will be in
charge OF State Chairman John F.
Nugent and his secretary and assist
ant secretary. The two latter of
fices have not as yet oeen filled but
will be before tomorrow. When
seen today Mr.. Nugent was unpre-
pared TO state who the secretary
and assistant secretary would be.
The decision to open state head
quarters was reached yesterday at
meeting of d number of the prom
inent leading democrats of the city
and state at which time various
matters of importance were discus
sed relative TO the campaign. 1t
is realized by all democrats in the
party that reg ardless of the fight
which has come up in Idaho, causing
the party to place two state tickets
in the field, a vigorous campaign
must be conducted in the interests
OF William Jennings Bryan's cam
didacy and the balance of the ma
tional ticket. Every effort will be
put forth by democrats to carry Idaho
for the Nebraskan.
Nothing can be definitely stated
at this time as to what public speak
ers Will be secured to send off the
firing gun in the campaign in the
interest of the national ticket Mr..
Nugent stated that unquestionably
there would be number of national
party leaders who would appear in
this city and state during the cam
paign, but as he had no definite in
formation relative as to " no they
will be, they cannot be announced
at this time. The opening of the
state headquarters, however, will
give demc Gratis of the state an op-
portunity to get in touch with the
issues at stake and be the medium
of bringing the various leaders
from the % counties in close COM
munication with each other. The
fact that there is a factional fight
in this state in the party is not be-
lieved to be a SCI ious handicap TO
the interests OF Bryan. From all
over the state encouraging reports
have been received favorable to the
silvery-tongued orator who has great

COAL MINES
SHUT DOWN

Butte, Aug, 3O.-After a two
days session in this city lasting
until late last right, the committee
representing the United Mine
Workers of America failed to reach
wage agreement with the opera
tors, and according to John !.
Hart, spokesman for the mine
owners, all the coal mines in
Wyoming will be shut do ~n to-
morrow. About 1000 men will be
idle. Charges Of bad faith are
made against the mine workers by
Mr.. Hart, representing the Union
Pacific railroad, who claims that
an agreement with respect to wages
was made between himself and
Thomas Gibson, president OF the
Wyoming coal miners organiza-
tion, constituting regularly
named Subcommittee which argee-
ment, Mr. Hart claims, was repud-
lated by the mine workers..
Mr.. Hart wired to Thomas L.
Lewis at Indianapolis, president
of the United Mine Workers of
America, protesting against the
action OF the committee in repudiat-
ing the alleged agreement.
The contention between the
miners and the operators is over a
proposed reduction in wages
amounting from 10 to is cents a

Chicago, Aug. -31.-There IS an
aching void in the campaign Golfers

gossip. Leaders aIe beginning to
knit their brows over the outlook
