POPE CHARGED USE OF LIQUOR.
Said DOugherty Court House Was
Converted Into BarrOOm.

Said DOugherty Court House Was
Converted Into BarrOOm.
In the Dougherty county primary
Friday Colonel John D. Pope, who
has frequently visited Dawson and
has many friends and is well-known
here, was defeated for solicitor of
the City Court of Albany, which he
had held nearly twenty years, by j.
w. Walters, Jr., son of Colonel
Jesse w. Walters. The race was the
most spirited of several, and the ma
jority was only 20.
Mr.. Pope created a sensation when
the county democratic executive COM
mittee met to consolidate the returns
by charging that the law was grossly
violated by many candidates in the
hiring of hacks and cabs to carry
voters to the polls and in the use
of liquor. He said: The court
house of Dougherty county was
turned into a barroom. 1t is the
duty of the committee to prevent
such outrages. | called the attention
of your chairman that carriages and
whisky were being used. He said he
was helpless to prevent it, as he was
candidate himself, and was, there
fore disqualified to take any action
other than to caution the candidates
against violating the rules. This he
did, but the practices did not stop.
Chairman J. T. Mann of the COM
mittee, who was also defeated in the
same primary for the same office,
explained his position in the matter,
stating that he was greatly embar-
raised because of the fact that he
was a candidate as we'll as chairman
of the committee. He said he knew
that the rear portion of the court
house was literally turned into a
barroom, and that carriages were
used in large numbers throughout
the day.
Other sensational charges were
made. Mr.. Pope declared that he
would not contest the election,
though contending that ample
grounds existed.

RAISE PASTORS SALARY $500
In Addition to This Dawson Metho-
dists Will Pay This Year $4,000
for Sunday School Annex.


The Dawson Methodist church is
one of the Invest and most progress
i've in the state, and is constantly
moving forward.
At a recent meeting the board of
stewards fixed the pastors salary this
year at $4,000, an increase of $500
over last year. The salary of the
Dawson pastor is next to the largest
paid by any church in the district,
the Americas church paying $4,000,
just 500 more.
Besides this increase in the pas
tors salary the members of the Daw-
son church will spend this year $12,-
900 for Sunday school annex, the
money having been already sub
scribed, making $12, 400 more this
year than was paid to the various
church causes in 1907.
The pastor, Rev. o. B. Chester, has
just begun his third year in Dawson.
He is popular with the membership,
and the church has grown and pros
pered under his guidance.

The announcement in the last is

necially among the farmers.
There will be short addresses on

farmers and the general public. The
exhibits will be of the most COM
nrehensive and vital nature of agri-
cultural education as affecting the
welfare of the farmers of the state.
The various kinds of fertilizers
and fertilizer material will be shown,
demonstrating the right kind OF
nl9nt food for the different crops.
The many diseases of trees will be
GIVEN attention. Peach growers Will

sprays. 1t is the design to carry sec
tions of trees showing the various
diseases and indicate just what treat
ment is the right one.
Particular attention will be paid,
however, to cotton and corn, the two
great crops in Georgia. The bene-
fits of seed selection and how to in
crease yields will be indicated. The
various by-products of cotton and
their value will be shown, and the
virtue of stock feeds.
This tour is planned to dissent
nate educational information along
agricultural lines.
The train will stop an hour and
a half at each point. There will be
four short, snappy illustrated talks
of about fifteen minutes each, and
then half an hour will be spent in
the exhibit car.

GOES TO MOBILE PAPER.
Former DawsOnian Accepts Managing
Editors Desk.

1t will interest the many friends
in Dawson of Mr.. Rufus Jones to
know that he is now with the Mobile
Evening Herald, having recently
taken a position with that paper as
managing editor.
B Mr.. Jones was reared in Dawson,
and his friends here are numbered
by his acquaintance. For the past
several months he has held a posi-
ton with the Montgomery Adver-
tiser, and that paper notes his de-
parture to his new work as follows;
MIR. Rufus Jones, who is now en-
ployed in the mechanical department
of The Advertiser Company, is with
in a few days to depart to Mobile,
there to assume the duties of man
aging editor of The Herald. The
work will not be new to him, for
once before he had the same job,
and in other places he has performed
similar labors. He has been tele-
graph editor of The Advertiser and

he was for quite while night edi-
tor of The Macon Telegraph. With
all that experience, and with a good
record for such varied duties as have
taken him from the basement, where
the big press makes noise in the
true -Harding-D Gale
gher-and-Other style, all the way to
the top floor, where the Melville
Stone clacker clicks, he may very
well promise that he will make good.
Just in the building itself Rufe
is not applauded for going away even
to take on a great big title. On the
four floors of the house there is grief,
for he is very popular here. In al
most every room of The Advertiser
'Rufe' is known by just that single,
good-natured monOsyllable, and while
everybody was glad to hear he had
something he wanted just a little
more than what he had, yet was ev-
erybody very, very sorry that he
couldn't be there and here too. All
in all, though, he takes with him the
wishes of as many and as good
friends as a man can have.

DAWSON WAS INTERESTED.
Asked Several Times If the ThaW
Jury Had Made Verdict.

Many in Dawson were interested
very much in the Thaw trial, and a
number of inquiries were made Sat
urday over the phone and by wire
if the jury had agreed. About five
o'clock in the afternoon the news
was received that a verdict OF not
guilty had been returned.
The verdict did not release the
noted young millionaire prisoner
however, and he was committed by
the court to the asylum for the Grim
inal insane
The legal theory is that he is still
insane, and until commission de-
clares that he is sane he will be kept
at the asylum. 1t is not likely that
his confinement there will be of ex-
tended duration.

TRIBE OF CRIMINALS.
The Maghaya's Greatest Pride io Sue.
sS%3 cessful Burglary.

eessful Burglary.
/. The Maghaya is born in an arhar
field and schooled to theft from his
infancy. He lives without shelter or
food for the morrow, perpetually NOV
ing from encampment to, encampment,
chased by the police and execrated by
the villagers. His greatest pride is a
successful burglary, and a prolonged
drinking bout his most coveted re-
ward
Jail offers no terrors to the Dom;
1t is merely the result of being a
bungler at his trade. The first attempt
to reclaim the Maghaya Doms in
Champarun was made by Mr.. (now
Sir Ed Henry. He found the greater
number of the adult members of the
tribe were in Jail. Every police officer
was held responsible if any Doms were
found in his jurisdiction, with the re-
suit that as soon as Dom was re-
leased from Jail he was usually re-
turned thither under the bad livelihood
sections.
Agricultural settlements were es-
tablished for the tribe, but they do
not seem to have been very successful
as civilizing agencies. The settle
ments serve as houses for the women
and children, but the men are seldom
found in them.
The females generally hawk stolen
property in the villages and act as
spies.

Local Option Puzzle In Illinois.

The city of Litchfield is both wet
and dry. The city is located in two
townships. The major part is in
North Litchfield and the balance is in
South Litchfield. At the recent eler-
ton North Litchfeld went overwhelm-
ingly against the saloons, while South
Iitchfield township went for saloons
by majority of 932. People of that
city now are wondering where they
are. Saloons in South Litchfield, in
which is located the saloon part of the
city of Litchfield, will not be disturbed
and the proba abilities are that many of
the saloons voted out of North Litch-
field will move across the railroad
track and do business in saloon ter
ritory.

Lived 95 Years in One House.

To have been born and to have
lived in the same house for ninety
five and ninety years respectively is
a record that perhaps few individuals
have ever won. But such is the rec
ord of Alexander and Betsy Ogg,
brother and sister, and venerable citi-
zens of Warren township all their
long lives.
Both were born and are still living
in the house where they first saw the
light of day near this city. Mr.. Ogg
and his sister are perhaps the oldest
living persons who were born in this
township away back in the wilderness
days, and considering the great shift
ing of the scenes that has transpired
during their long lives it seems re-
markable that they should have re-
mained in contentment at the place
of their birth and in the same house
that first sheltered them in their in
