FEW ATTENDED MEETING
OF GEORGIA DIVISION OF SOUTH
ERN COTTON ASSOCIATION.
Interest in the Organization Appears
to BE Waning. 1t Was Even Sug-
oested That 1t BE Abolished.

The Georgia division of the South
ern Cotton Association seems about
to go to pieces. There were only
about twenty-five delegates in at
tendance on the annual meeting held
in Atlanta the other day.
For some time the question of
abandonment of the division was Sc
riously discussed, some of the MEM
bers urging that the association was
being supplanted by the Farmers
Union. Others contended, however,
that the association stands for prin-
ciples not found in any other organi-
cation and that it should be con-
tinued This view carried the day.
Before accepting reelection to the
presidency M. L. Johnson of Barlow,
who has served the division for three
years, stated that Whine he was will
| ing to give the association his past
years services, for which he has re-
ceived no salary, he would not &C
cept the presidency unless his salary

The convention then appointed a
special finance committee, headed by
d. G. Hughes of Twiggs, to take up
| this matter with the county assOcia-
tiOns. This committee has issued an
address to the county associations
calling on them each to raise at least
500 or more to pay the divisions
| expenses of 1908. In the absence of
the necessary funds, the address
states, the division will cease to ex-
| list.
committee appointed on cotton
acreage issued an address urging all
| farmers in the state to plant all the
| forage and food supplies needed this
| year and to make cotton only sur
plus crop. 1t was the opinion of the
committee that the acreage in Geor-
gia should be. reduced at least 25
| per cent.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President, M.
| l.. johnson of Cass Station; vice
president, William Eberhardt of Full
| ton county; executive committee,
| Joel Conyers of Barlow county, H.
Tally of Cobb county and D. G.
Hughes of Twiggs county.
The president has the appointment
of a secretary and treasurer.

RESOLUTIONS BY COUNCIL
On the Death of the Late Mayor. A
Tribute to Him as an Official.

Tribute TO ffIm as du OhlCIaA'
At the meeting of the city council
Tuesday night the following resolu-
lions we're adopted:
Whereas, Hon. Frank Nasworthy
MAYOR of the city of Dawson, has de-
parted this life since our last meet
ing; and whereas, our body deems
it fitting and proper to pay tribute
to his memow and give some eX-
preston of our feelings as to his loss
therefore, be it resolved by the mayor
pro tenn and the city council of DaW-
son. at this the regular February
meeting:
First, That in the death of our
lamented mayor we have lost a val
liable official whose duties as pre-
siding officer were discharged in
most faithful and satisfactory man
ner. his judgments as mayor having
always been in accordance with law
Justice and right. In the loss of May
or Nasworthy we feel that the city
of Dawson in it's corporate capacity
has lost just and good official.
Second. We also believe that IN
the death of Hon. Frank Nasworthy
the city of Dawson has lost one OF
it's best citizens and one whose place
cannot be easily filled, for he was a
most excellent citizen and one more
capable of doing good than most peo-
pie and always willing to assist in
every deserving undertaking. We
believe that his good influence
throughout our city and the county
of Terrell will be of lasting benefit
to all who had transactions with him,
whether of a business, social or re-
ligious nature.
Third. We extend our sincere SYM
pathies to the bereaved members OF
his family, and instruct that copy
of these resolutions be entered on
the minutes of the city council OF
Dawson; that a copy be forwarded
bv the city clerk to the family OF the
deceased, and that copy of these
resolutions be published in The Daw-
son News.
w. A. McLAIN, Mayor Protein.
r. E. BELL, Clerk.

FORM RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY.
Holiness Communicates From Cana
da Settle Near Dover, Del.


da Settle Near Dover, Del.
Like the Puritans of old, seeking
a home in a far country, the Holiness
Association of the Canadian prov
inces has sent company of commu-
nicants near Dover to adopt Della
ware as their future home, negot1a-
lions having been going on for some
time between Leader Joseph e. Ne
Vile and George w. Tebo of Dover.
AS a result eleven adults and three
children have arrived there.
BY l o'clock on the day of their
arrival they had purchased one farm
and rented three residences. The
first farm purchased was the Gilt
farm, at DuPont's Station, for So
600 in cash. This is an admirable
fruit farm, situated beside the rail-
road. This will be the headquarters
of the Holiness people for meetings
and conferences until the entire COM
pany is settled.

IDLE ENGINES "TEDDY BEARS
Witty Irishman Names Locomotives
Laid by for the Winter.

Most of the railroads entering
Pittsburg are just now carrying on
their stock books an item which they
call '"Teddy Bears"
A Teddy Bear" is locomotive
for which there is no work, and
which has been boxed for the winter,
because there is no more room for
locomotives in the round houses.

road has forty-six more idle engines
than it had stable room for, and they
have been run on obscure sidings
and boarded up for the winter

large, also that of the Baltimore and
Ohio. Some of the railroad men be-
lieve that President Roosevelt has
caused the present financial strin-
gency, but it was an Irish carpenter
who sprang the joke of the season.
A friend passing asked what those
great barn-like structures on the
switch were.

Irishman.

THE POOR POLITICIANS
EVERYBODY WHO COMES ALONG
TAKES A SHOT AT THEM.
President Barrett Now Warns the
Farmers Union to Beware of Him
and His Establishments.

ana his bIdIluISUnlcIIS.
President Charles S. Barrett of the
National Farmers Union has is
sued an address to the members of
the Union, in which he calls atten-
ton to the success of the recent
Memphis meeting, and gives interest
ing advice to the farmers. He states
that the recent meeting was the
greatest ever held by the Union, and
that the most perfect harmony pre-
vailed in all the deliberations,
President Barrett makes strong
plea for the farmers to make their
farms self-sustaining. He adverts to
politics with the warning that the
members keep away from them and
| beware of politicians, saying that the
Farmers Alliance was destroyed
some years ago by meddling in poll
tics. The address in part is as fol-
! lows:
when we. look backward and con-
template the steady and stately
achievements of the past three years
all that our great organization has
done, and all that it's splendid pow
ers make possible for the future
we may well rejoice, and the spirit
of amazement at the work may give
place to thankfulness for the grace
that has guided our efforts and the
helpful harmony that has made them
win.
There is absolutely no reason
made known to me why the Farm
ers' Union should not become-if it
is not already so-the greatest bust
ness organization in the world. we
are marching now hopefully and
sturdily toward the goal.
1.-TWO little words of council will
suffice for this message of today. 1t
is better to single-shOt one good idea
than to scatter bird shot suggestions
over a wide area of advice.
First, let us make our farms ev-
| erywhere self-supporting and we can
smile into the face of every panic
which gamblers are able to manipu-
late. Let every farm be a province
of plenty-a walled city of industrial
defense. Let us SOW and reap from
the soil that is ours the necesSaries
of life, and we can then in any emer-
gency forget the luXuries and defy
the conspiratOrs who would starve us
into industrial submission to their
plans Tickle the soil with muscle
and touch it with brain and it will
furnish everything we need and build
the best established rampant against
our enemies.
And once more beware of the
politicians. AS the organization
grows greater and more powerful
and scheming politicians with their
skilled lieutenants become more and
more solicitous of our happiness and
success, and more and more de-
termined to use it as the stepping
stone to his personal profit or his
political preferment. Watch this fell
low and avoid him to the end. BY
this man the Farmers Alliance fell,
but by this man let us never fall.
Give every man thine ear, but few
thy tongue. Weigh counsel careful
ly, and with keen eyes consider the
man who gives it.
And may the God of our fathers
guide us in continual discretion to
the welfare of our families, our
country and the right"

Possibility of Lively Session Of
Democratic Territorial Com
mittee at Meeting in Santa Fe
April n,

Tho assertion of the politcal cor
respondent of the Los Angeles Times
in Santa Fe, that the democrats of
New Mexico are solldly lined up for
William j. Bryan, is meeting with Wig
crous denial in certain authoritative
quarters and 1t is beginning to appear
that there is a possibility of lively
times not only in the meeting of the
democratic committee in Santa Re onI
April 18th, but also in the democratic
territorial convention to elect dcc-
gates to the Denver convention.
There is at least one prominent
democrat in the territory who is not
for Bryan or for an instructed dele
cation. That one is General Charles
f. Easley Of Santa l7c, who was in
town yesterday General Easley has
ideas of his own about the conduct
Of party affairs and generally does no.
hesitate to express them.
