county, Georgia, when youth in his
teens. He was twice married. His

Mr.. Dozier was a quiet, unosten-
tatiOus man and citizen. He was a
member of the Lutheran church, SUI
perintendent of the Cottondale Sun
day school, and a useful, helpful
man, not only in his own home. but
in the community in which he lived.
So just, so pleasant and agreeable
were his dealings with his fellow
man that it was often said of him
that he had not an enemy in the
world.
May his only son, Clifford, emulate
his fathers noble characteristics, and
may his immediate family, especially
his wife and baby girl, Cards, be
ever kept beneath the wings of Him
who hath made everlasting promises
to the widow and the fatherless.

But thy face again wen see
When we reach our home in heaven,
And with our loved ones ever be.

"Oficer H. T. Lynch of the city
police force had a thrilling expert
ence yesterday morning which came
near costing him his life. He was
shot at by a negro "crap-shooter
as he and officer d. c. McCaskill
were raiding a game. The bullet
passed through the front of the Off
GERS coat and the deviation of it's
course for but an inch or two would
have resulted in a serious If not fatal
wound.
1.-The crap game raided by the two
officers was in a house at the western
end of Tiff street. officer McCaskill
went to the front door and Officer
! Lynch to the rear. AS the latter
started to enter a negro pulled gun
and fired through the door. Not
daunted by this, however, the officers
forced their way in and nabbed the
whole bunch When they got in
side the officers found one of the ne
groes trying to escape by climbing
up the chimney.
1.-The negroes were brought tc
town and locked up. John Parrish
one of the negroes, admitted that
he had fired the shot which grazed
the officers breast.

Resolutions Were Adopted Urging
Congress to Pass the Parcels
Post Bill.
The Farmers Union of Terrell
county held a well-attended and en-
thusiastic meeting at the court house
in Dawson Thursday at which a num-
Der of matters of Importance to
farming interests were discussed.
Last year there was considerable
confusion and much dissatisfaction
in some quarters about the price of
ginning, and the Union wants to see
if a satisfactory and uniform price
cannot be agreed on between the
ginners and the cotton growers.
With this end in view a committee
has been appointed to confer with
the ginners' association.
Resolutions were also adopted
strongly endorsing the bill now be-
fore congress for a parcels post sys-
TEN. A parcels post, allowing small
packages of merchandise to go
through the rural mails, would be a
great convenience to the farmers, and
thev are all heartily in favor of the
pending measure.
The Union adjourned to meet IN
Dawson again on Thursday, March
the 5th, the day that the "Educa-
tional Train" from the State College
of Agriculture will be in Dawson

ers on live farm topics.

HEINZE MUST PLEAD.
Thirty Legal Counts in Indict-

NEW YORK, March A 4-The de-
murrers interposed by F. Augustus
Heinze to the indictment charging him
with the over -certification of checks Of
the Mercantile National Bank in favor
of Otto Heinze e Co. were overruled
yesterday by Judge Hough in the United
States Circuit Court AS a result the
former copper king will be compelled to
plead to the indictment which was
found early in January by the Federal
Grand Jury,
The technical charge against Heinze
was a violation OF sections sos and 5209
and section Is of the act of July II,
1882, providing for wilful and inten
tional overcertifcatlon of the checks of
a national bank. The acts charged in
the Indictment We're alleged to have
been committed on October IA, 1907. four
days before Heinze resigned as presi
dent of the Mercantile, and the aggre-
gate of the checks was 100000. There
were thirty-one counts in the indict-
ment.
