to Dawson Every Saturday. Black
Column Marches From Depot.
The Central railroad puts on an
extra coach every Saturday to accom-
modate the large number of negroes
along the roads line between Daw-
son and Cuthbert who want to spend
between trains" here.
The train from Montgomery that
reaches here about noon is pack
ed every Saturday with human
freight whose destination is Dawson.
and soon after its arrival a black col
umn extending two or three blocks
may be seen marching two and two
from the depot. The visitors spend
two or three hous here, and return
home on the three o'clock train.
There are some who say these
crowds are attracted to Dawson by
the nigh-beer that flows so freely,
but The News is inclined to take
different view. The Dawson mer-
chants are noted for the large and va
ried stocks of goods they carry and
for selling on close margin, and ev-
.erybody has got into the habit of
coming here to do their trading. They
know, too, if they want to see any,
body they will find them in Dawson,
where everybody meets everybody.

ton Entertained Friday.
An interesting affair of the week
was the entertainment given by the
ladies of the Library Association at
the school auditorium on Thursday
afternoon. The program for the oc-
casion was was greatly enjoyed by
all present. Piano solos by Miss Su-
sic May Dozier and Mrs. Guy Chap
pell, a duet by Misses Lucy Horsley
and Louise McNulty and vocal solo
by Miss jamie Bush were delightful
numbers. Miss DeVine, who is an
exceedingly talented reader, gave two
of her choicest pieces in her usual
charming style. The work of the
Library Association for the past two
years was brought before the ladies
with an earnest plea for their further
cooperation. Mrs. F. M. McNulty
gave paper on How Tainted Lit
erature Is Menacing Our Youth, :"
which emphasized the necessity of a
careful supervision over the books
placed before young readers, and
showed the useful part that a prop
erly regulated library should take in
this work Mrs. L. Lamar's paper
on Body Culture" interested all
present in the plans of the associa-
ton to provide a gymnasium for the
young people. Prof. F. E. Land clos
ed the program with forceful remarks
along the same lines-the necessity
and benefits of physical training. The
work of the association in organizing
and maintaining a library of such
benefit to the town for the past two
years has proved the earnestness and
enthusiasm of the workers and the
hearty cooperation, and sympathy of
the entire town is richly deserved.

GUILTY PARENTS.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

OUlL1I TAEENIS.
''In seven cases out of ten where a
child is punished by a parent for a
fault, the parent should be punished
instead Of the child"
So declares an eminent authority.
The statement may be somewhat
oyerdrawn for the sake of emphasis,
but there is much truth in it.
Seldom does the parent in furnishing
the child stop TO consider whether the
child is Inherently naughty or whether
it has done something that might have
been prevented by little care or fore
sight on the part of the parent.
For instance
Much misbehavior on the part of the
child is the natural result Of its lack
of occupation.
The child. like nature, abhors a
vacuum.
The boy or girl bursting with vital
ity simply cannot endure a state of
idleness. There must be something do
ing. 1t is useless to command a grow
ing child after the manner of some
Keep your feet still"
Don't fidget so much"
Don't make so much noise"
A normal child cannot keep still. 1t
must fidget If there is nothing else to
do. 1t must make noise Its vital
ity boilers must have a safety valve.
Its cup is full of life; If more is pour
ed in the cup must run over.
Now
If you, the childs parent, do not pro-
vide work or play or something to oc-
cupy its mind and body, the outcome
will be restlessness, fidgets, noise and.
If opportunity is afforded, mischief or
wrongdoing.
The trouble with most of US as
parents is that we forget what we
We're once like; we cannot put our
selves in the chnd's place.
1t is easy for us to sit still for a
length of time. We have our reminis-
cences. But the child has no past his
tory to speak of. 1t is governed by
impulses.
Besides
We have learned how to exercise the
power of the mind over the body.
Years Of self-control have disciplined
the body to the service of the mind.
The child has not this power. Ii
anything, its body is stronger than its
mind. The physical dominates the in
tellectual and the result is: Caprices.
Of course, it is not always an easy
task to provide occupation for a child,
but it pays. Either the parent or the
child must direct. If the parent neg
lects to do SO, the child will choose
for itself, and to its peril
Do not punish your child for doing
something that you might have pre-
vented had you done your duty.
