GUARDS MAY REORGANIZE.
About Sixty Young Men Met in the
ArmOry Monday Night and
Took Preliminary Steps.

1t is very probable that the Daw-
son Guards will be reorganized.
About sixty young men met at the
armory Monday night and took pre-
liminary steps with that end in view.
A committee was appointed to con-
fer with the proper authorities and
ascertain what steps are necessary
for enlistment under the recent
Georgia law authorizing a state
militia Independent of the national
guard.
The Guards were under the Dick
military law when they disbanded,
and it is their intention, if they
reorganize, to remain independent of
the national militia.
Dawson needs a good military
company, and the young men should
be given every encouragement.

had no jurisdiction over its public
highways, and left the matter to the
council for adjustment.

And then comes the trying person
who bangs doors all over the house.
This may be either a man or a woman,
but it is more frequently a woman,
one of the nervous, absent minded
kind, who does not care much about
the nerves Of others. The unfortunate
people who must live with this daily
trial may follow her progress all over
the house by the sound of the doors.
Does she ever remember the sleeping

But if the noisy slamming Of door

Story Of Scene at His Passing Away
Is ToId-CIaims Are That Berry
Was Not Even There.

NEW YORK, July 21.-Ten years
ago today, on July 81, 1899. the news
papers of the world announced the
death of the greatest foe of Christian
ity, Robert G. Ingersoll. Although the
end Of the famous agnOstic orator
came suddenly and silently, and he ex-
pired without a word, this fact has not
prevented the circulation of many re-
ports alleging that Ingersoll recanted
on his deathbed.
These statements are denounced by
Mrs Ingersoll, widow of the agnostic,
as base perversions of truth and alb
solutely without foundation. Mrs. In
gersoll remains firm in her adherence
to the views on religion entertained by
her late husband. She Indignantly de-
MES the widely published report that
she has become a spiritualist. Ru-
mors to the effect that she has accept
ed the Baptist or any other faith, she
dismisses as unworthy of attention.
What is denounced by friends OF the
Ingersoll family as one of the most
barefaced falsehoods regarding the
death of the great orator is included
in what purports to be an affidavit
signed by an Oregon man, which is
now being given wide publicity by
evangelists and the religious press.
This sworn statement is as follows:
Il do hereby declare that Robert In
gersoll confessed to my father, Joehiel
S. Berry, on his dying bed, that he did
not believe the doctrine he preached.
He said these words, 'Joehiel, I
wish 1 had my life to live over again.
When asked why, he said, Because
do not believe what have preached
and nevr have. 1 only did it for the
money that was in it
His daughter then asked, Whose
life shall live after, yours or moth
er's?' Mrs. Ingersoll was a strict Bap-
fist and a sister to my father

That the young women OF our cOun-

writer draws from the awful death OF
Elsie Sigel, the New York girl who was

The best way to guard against trag-
edies such as these, is not to attempt
to watch our girls every moment VI
their lives, but to educate them so they
will not need watching.

ization of the seriousness of sin and
