THEY DID NOTHING WRONG.

From the Dalton Citizen.
The action of six Georgia congress-
men, who are alluded to as "bolt-
ers,' is causing a lot of unnecessary
tear-sheddlng and ink-spreading in
certain quarters.
So far as we have been able to
see they did nothing wrong, for they
were not bound by the caucus they
revising Of the rules in accordance
with the Clark programme would
have amounted to nothing at this
session of congress and, to our way
of thinking, at no other session. 1t
is a very shallow-thinking person
who would fail to realize that before
the committee appointed reported
acting on the revision of the rules,
the republicans would have the in
surgents back into line, and nothing
whatever would be accomplished AS
it is the Fitzgerald resolution is eff
fective now, and the minority men,
bers are getting the benefits, if there
are any.
The whole affair has been magni-
fed and exaggerated, perhaps for DO
litical reasons. We have noticed
that the alleged ''bolters," Messrs.
Gordon Lee, Lon Livingston, w. G..
Brantley, VIM. H. Howard, J. NJ.
Griggs and Charles G. Edwards, are
congressman who have done some
thing for their districts besides spout
hot air, while that part of the Geor-
gia delegation fighting them seem to
be the purveyors of this very es-
sential political commodity almost
exclusively.
There is nothing in the affair to
warrant the emphasis put upon it..
1t is politics, politics-that's all!

ACKNOWLEDGES THE CORN.

From the Rome Tribune
A Hoosier farmer at the Chicago
National Corn Exposition last fall
paid $3.50 for a single ear of corn
of the Boone county white variety.
The amount was paid at auction for
an Indiana ear of white corn. This
is one Of the interesting results of
the corn improvement experiments
that have been going on for the past
ten or twelve years.
This is the highest price ever paid
for corn in any shape, and only goes
to show what careful selection and
cultivation will do in the case of our
CommOnest and most useful cereal
Using this price as a basis a bush
ell of this corn would bring fifteen
thousand dollars, sum much
larger than most individual corn
crops would bring in Georgia this
year of high prices.
The object of these lines, however,
is not for the purpose of inducing
any one to hope to obtain this fabu-
lous price, but to show how it pays
the farmer to carefully study and
select his seed of all varieties and
to figure out the possibilities to be
attained by universal practice along
this line.

The Party Will Sustain Him -
From the Cuthbert Leader.

From the Cuthbert Leader.
This article does not bind me to
support James M. Griggs in 1910,
nevertheless if his opponent is to
come from the class of infantile
statesmen such as Roddenbery, Gov
ingtOn and Shaw no sane man with
the good of his section at heart can
do otherwise than support Griggs.
In refusing to support the caucus
on the organization of the house our
congressman followed such men as
w. E. Smith, who refused to follow
his party in supporting the electoral
commission, and cast the only mega
tive vote against it. The result justi-
fed his wisdom; and Henry G. Tur-
ner refused to follow when the dem
ocratic caucus demanded the seating
of Frank Hurd of Ohio, a democrat,
and defended his action as chairman
of the committee on privileges and
kelections on the floor of the house,

THE HATS OF WOMEN.

Once more is long-suffering man
freeing himself of biting bits of sar-
casm and loud howls of derision, and
once more-or rather yet-does wo-
mankind go about the land calmly
and confidently wearing Spring hats
the beautiful hideOusness of which
is only to be compared with that
which distinguished woman's hats
last Spring and the Spring before
that and back through all the Springs
since ladies fair began to consider
head covering from something more
than a utilitarian point of view.
Why it is that in the Spring a
mans fancy-be he young, old, or
middle-aged- but firmly turns
to thoughts of women's hats and the
grotesQueness thereof has always
been a source of much wonder and
amusement to women. In the first
place, they buy their hats to please
themselves and to excite the admira-
ton and envy of other women. Not
for a moment does man enter into
their thoughts when it comes to a
question of securing what is really
up to date in the line of headgear.
And in the second place, where is
the woman who doesn't know that
when a man really gets used to
style-posSibly gives up hope and
finds that he cant help himself
he becomes its champion and swears
it's the prettiest, neatest idea that
the women folk have ever had the
common sense to order.
SO every daughter Of Eve knows
if she just Keeps still and doesn
answer back before the end of this
season the men will be few and far
between who don't solemnly declare
that an inverted clothes basket
trimmed with a sad looking bunch
of grapes, or perhaps a cluster of
anaemic crab apples, is just about as
pretty a thing for a woman's head
as can be imagined.

ONE OF DAwsoN's NEEDS

Dawson has the reputation of be-
ling the best and most progressive
town of its size in all of this sec
ton. Yet nearly every town in
Southwest Georgia, even those half
the size, are beautified with parks
and pleasure resorts where the peo-
pie can congregate and enjoy an out
ing any evening.
Dawson is not without natural adj
vantages for an Improvement of this
k;ld, but seems to be lacking in lead
ership-some person to assume the
initiative.
No town has a better or a more
suitable spot for public park than
the several acres of ground which
surround the public school building,
and The News suggests to the board
of City School Commissioners, the
City Council and the Ladies' Civic
Improvement Club that they join in
a concerted effort, and convert it into
an attractive public park. The ex-
pense would be small, and in time
it would become a beautiful and at
tractive resort and a pleasure to ev-
cry child, woman and man, and the
pride of the town.
Let's have the park.

NOT A PARTY QUESTION NOW.

When General Hancock was the
democratic candidate for president
he said the tariff was a local ques-
ton, and events at Washington to-
day prove that he was correct. In
the revision of the tariff we find life
long democrats who have always op-
posed and denounced the principle
of protection contending for duties
on imports that compete with
the products of their immediate sec
tiOns, and on the other hand there are
republicans who have always looked
upon protection as political gospel
who are in favor of admitting free
into the United States many articles
their constituents do not produce, but
of which they are consumers. There
is no doubt that there has been a
general weakening of party lines,
and the shaping of politics and leg
islation is now largely Influenced by
whose OK is gored

his view of the case being based
on the fact that as a juror he could
do no less than be governed by the
evidence, and his party sustained
him after the heat of passion cooled.
When the declaration of war
against Spain was pending Griggs
refused to be swayed, and voted
against the measure. He did right,
and until more weighty reasons than
have appeared are given I believe
the party will sustain him in his last
vote.
Because a section of my party, or
my church, decides that | am wrong
it doesn't necessarily make it So
so long as | am in accord with my
conscience, the principles and prece-
dents of my party, or the dictates of
the Bible as to my religious views.
Yours for fairness,

The Governor and That Private Car
From the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
According to Mr., Minter Wimberly
who is known in Macon, and wher-
ever he is known, as one Of those
bright, choice spirits who sees the
funny side of life and things-there
is a difference in the gubernatorial
mind between private car "in the
day time, in city limits when re-
porters are around, and a private
car in the night time" far out in
the woods where there are neither
prying eyes nor tell-tale reporters
A mind rich with the appreciations
OF the humorous side of human ma
ture could not let that pass.
Neither could he resist the temp
tation to tell in his own inimitable
way how that, after five or six ex-
perts and two prison commissioners
had spent three weeks investigating
his 6,0O0-acre farm, the gubernato-
rial entity with veto authority took
1t all in and arrived at an adverse
conclusion covering twenty acres to
to the minute or one acree to three
seconds.
Mr.. Wimberly's statement is a
Clear-cut presentation of the many
facts not hitherto published in re-
gard to this controversy.

'Tis spring time again, Gentle

the blooming flowers and swelling
buds are rejoicing that once again
it's spring. These are Gods happy

THE GEORGE BELL CASE.

From the Richmond News-Leader.
People who interfere in matters
OF which they are ignorant, especial
ly such matters as require special
knowledge and study, almost invaria-
bly, do more harm than good. In
Georgia an emotional and we'll
meaning but hysterical woman, aid
ed by several yellow and shrieking
newspapers, succeeded in securing
the release from a lunatic asylum
of one George Bell, formerly a men,
Der Of the state legislature. The
doctors said Bell was crazy, but the
woman and the newspapers insisted
that he was the victim Of persecu-
ton and medical blunders. So Bell
got out, And the day before yester-
day he vindicated the doctors and
worked a grim joke on the rescue
party by going aboard a passenger
train at Macon and there cutting
his own throat. He is dead. If he
had been left in the asylum, where
he belonged, probably he would be
living and possibly there would be
a chance for him to recover his mind

THE JAW POWER OF THE GOAT

The jOkesmith who has been fig
uring on the aggregate waste of jaw
power in the chewing Of gum will
have some statistics to base his prop
osition on when that herd of Angora
goats has finished the novel stunt
set for them in the Lassen national
forest. These goats to the number
of 5000 will soon begin to eat a
fire line 800 yards wide through the
tough chaparral of the forest The
bushy chaparral not only chokes out
seedlings that otherwise might grow
into valuable timber, but is very in
fammable and often carries fire into
stands of merchantable trees.
The forest service announces
through it's bulletin that this expert
ment with the jaws of the goat will
be unique both as a stock raising
proposition and as an engineering
and tree culture problem. For the
past two years the construction Of
fire lanes and trails has been one of
the most important features in i'm
provements carried on by the gov
eminent. The ultimate end is the
providing of land free from fire risk
for the growth of good trees, and
the jaws of the hungry goats may
solve the chaparral problem, which
has long veXed settlers in many in
tested areas. If the experiment in
the Lassen forest is successful this
novel method of grazing goats will
be introduced in other sections
where the chaparral is a hindrance
and menace.

Love in the Solar PIexus.

From the Savannah News.
Do you know where love dwells?
In the heart? All, no. A Chicago
doctor says it is in the solar plexus-
the place Fitz hit Corbett when he
knocked him out. When you have
been disappointed in love you feel
a peculiar sinking sensation some
where down under the shirt front
That's in the solar plexus, not the
heart. The heart is merely a bust
ness machine, incapable of emotion.
1t has too much to do to be both
cred with sentimental matters. But
the solar pleXus is right there to
take care of the emotions, or to
receive a Knockout punch, as the
case may be. The Chicago doctors
are continually placing us under OBJ
legations to them for enlightening
information.

Feels the chatting of the trace,
And the wren about the rubbish
Peepeth for a nesting place.

And the rustic in his glory
Whistles to his dewy plow.

Dot the woods with rounded tops.
Like the tents of Gypsy fairies,
Or the sylvan Easter shops.
Tired of canned and candied messes.
Picked pork and Boston beans.

Fondly runs on early green's
Now the milliner's sweet victim
Sports the latest from New York.
While the angler on the wet bank
GlOats upon the bobbing cork.
Now the honeysuckle punches,
Red-and-white, the spring declare.
Dearest playground! | remember
How they used to grow down there.
These, attended by a thousand
Other things that bloom and sing,
Burst the tethers of the winter
And assert the splendid spring.

" WHY I Sell for Cash. -
From the Merchants Journal.

A retailer had an advertisement
with the above heading in a daily
paper. 1t speaks for itself.
First: Because I will save the
salary of a bookkeeper and a col
lector, which amounts to $500 a
year.
Second: Because | will save in
stamps and stationery 500 per year.
Third: Because l will always
have $4,000 to $1,000 more mer-
chandise in the store instead of on
the books and in notes, and can
therefore serve customers better.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1909-04-07

Fourth: Because | will save so
per cent. in the item of clerk hire;
for one clerk in a cash store can do
the work of two in a credit business.
Fifth: Because l will have no bad
debts, and can therefore afford to
sell my goods cheaper
Sixth: Because, with the above
saving to me, | can save customers
from 20 to 80 per cent. on every
article sold.
Seventh: Because the cash sys-
tenn is the only system; and quick
sales for cash and short profits is
the secret of success.
