MEETING
A FIASCO
| abooed Sub
ject Only One
Discussed
DOdSOn'S Friends Held An
After Meeting

No Aldermanic candidates were
nominated at last nights mass meet
ing at the city hall. This was due to
the fact that the friends of the Dod-
son contract were in the majority in
the crowded hall. Much oratory was
Indulge in, but the only action OF
the evening was the passing of a res
olutiOn at an after meeting
Though it was expressly stated
more than once at the Citizens Meet
ing last night at the City Hall that
the Dodson contract was no part or
parcel of the subjects to be consider
ed, it turned out that was the chief
and almost the only subject which
was really up.
The issue was precipitated by Col.
w. A. Dodson, who began a speech
on the street railway and lighting
contract. He was promptly ruled out
of order, but on an appeal, the chair
was overruled and Col. Dodson al
lowed to proceed. After he had told
about the Dodson contract from his
side of the fence, Mr. Lee Allen took
the floor and presented the other
side. After that Mr.. c. j. Clark talk.
ed about municipal ownership.
AT various times during the meet
ing, which was a stormy one, great
disorder prevailed, and it took the eff
forts of the leaders Of both factions
to restore order.
1t was ten minutes later than the
announced hour of 1880 o'clock when
the meeting was called to order by
Mr.. G. S. Gardner, who at once plac-
ed in nomination the name of Mr..
Lee Allen for temporary chairman
The nomination was confirmed and
Mr.. Allen took the chair
The fun began almost Immediately,
when Col ]. E. Sheppard placed in
nomination the name of Mr.. Elmore
Poole for City Council Previous
to this Mr. Gardner had explained
5hat it was charged that this was an
anti-DOdson meeting, and declared
that this question did not enter into
the meeting
Following the nomination of Mr.
Poole, Col. W. A Dodson took the
floor and launched into a statement
regarding his contract with the city,
but was cut short on a point of order
raised by Mr. Sheppard that the meet
ing was not called to consider this
question The objection was sustain
ed by the chair
Mr. H. B. Simmons appealed from
the decision of the chair, and the APP
peal was sustained by majority of
2 Col Dodson then went into the
story of the contract and the COM
pany's trials. He finally promised that
if the street railway was not ready
for operation by the fourth Monday
in May, that his company would not
fight the forfeiture proceedings al
ready started He showed that the
company had spent $19,450 so far
for building, labor and machinery.
He calculated that the company would
pay $3.50 in taxes.

among the Baptist of the city over
the departure of Mr.. Gilbert to other

10 the separation of pastor and peo-

ficent and faithful service has resign
ed and accepted a call to Augusta,
Georgia, therefore be it
Resolved, that we, the First Bap-
Church of Americus, deeply regret the
loss we have sustained by the call of
our pastor to another field of duty,
and be it further
Resolved, that we have lost a pas
tor whose worth we highly esteem
both as a Christian and as a man,
and whose work during his pastorate
in paying off the church debt, the in
stallation of the pipe organ, increas-
ing our membership and strengthen
ing our church as an organization, is
deeply appreciated Be it further
Resolved. that our pastors sim
cerity and devotion to duty has been
manifested by his visiting the sick,
aiding the poor comforting the dis
tressed and preaching the gospel. Be
it further
Resolved, that it is our prayer that

every effort in his new field of labor.

ROUSING MILITIA MEETING
Prominent Army Officers Visit Dallas
and Encourage Organization
of Company.

The militia meeting held in the
courthouse Wednesday evening was
we'll attended, and all OF the young
men who were, present showed great
enthusiasm for the organizing OF a
company in Dallas.
Adjutant- General W. E. FINER and
Colonel James B. Jackson came up
from Portland on the evening train
and both delivered very encouraging
addresses to the young men.
Mr.. Finer said that it would be
impossible for him to recommend the
organization of a new company in any
of the towns that have recently made
applications, until the bill regarding
the National Guard, which is now
before Congress, should be passed up
on. Still, he added, he would be glad
to recommend Dallas for company
as soon as 1t might be reasonably pos
sible. He outlined the work OF the
National Guard, answering all ques-
tions asked concerning its organiza-
ton. and explaining all Of the differ
ent phases of the life of the guards
men.
In closing he again promised to do
all he could to effect the organization
of company in Dallas, "but," he
said, 1--WE will not come to you begging
you to organize, for we have already
more applications than we will be able
to grant. Dallas is only one out OF IL
new cities that are asking for militia
company"
During the evening Colonel Jack
son delivered stirring address to the
young men, urging the necessity of
percentage of the able bodied citizens
of each state entering into military
training. War, he said, is accord
ing to the laws of nature, and that
nation only can stand superior, which
keeps itself constantly in preparation
for the coming of war, which in GER
tain conditions is inevitable. He con-
graduated the men OF Dallas on the
spirit and patriotism which they had
shown in applying for the right to
organize a military company, and
said that it was his sincere hope that
their request would be granted.
Both Adjutant- General FINER and
Colonel Jackson advised the men of
Dallas to organize in the Coast Artil-
lery, as that would insure them the
best opportunity of being sent at once
to the scene of action In case war
should arise.
At the close OF the meeting many
new names we're added to the already
long list of those pledging to enter in
the company, should one be organized.
1t will not be definitely known for
perhaps month, whether or not the
application will be granted, but from
the results of Wednesday nights
meeting, all who are interested 10 the
enterprise feel greatly encouraged and
are very confident of its ultimate sue
