IT'S CIRCUS DAY IN DAWSON.
Great Crowds Are in the City to See
RobinSOn's Shows.

Oh you circus! Well, it's circus
day in Dawson. John Robinson's big
circus treked into Dawson this morn
ing from Americas, where perform
ances were given yesterday.
Thousands have flocked here from
Terrell and surrounding counties and
towns to see it; for the circus never
grows old, and is ever bright and at
tractive.
Love of the circus is INFORM; it
lasts while life lasts. To the town
people-young, old and middle-aged
circus day is the most eagerly an
ticipated holiday of the entire year;
men have enjoyed it since the days
when they used to carry water for
the elephants or crawl under the
tents to see the wondrous shows of
their youth.
Circus day is always an event and
always will be.
There is something about this sort
of entertainment that is different
from any other form of diversion.
Perhaps it is the wide diversity of
the skill shown by the performers,
the sawdust, the merriment of the
little folks. the clowns, the wonders
of the geological collection
But whatever it is there is fas-
cination that catches the magma
ton Of youth and stays with us
through life. And to the red-blooded
citizen circus day is and always will
be an event.

NORTHERN CAPITALISTS HERE.
Inspected Lands With View to Plac-
ing Loans,

Northern capitalists are turning to
the south for safe investments for
their money, and they especially
seem to be interested in the farm
lands of this section. Some weeks
ago The News noted the visit here of
some Vermont bankers for the pur-
pose of taking a look at Terrell
county land, and Saturday Messrs.
Reeves and Smith, officers of the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co. of
Newark, N. j., were here on a similar
mission. They were accompanied
by Mr.. G. R. Ellis, president of the
Empire Loan and Trust Co., of Amer
icus, and were piloted by Mr.. J. r.
Irwin while seeing Terrells fine
lands.
These gentlemen were on a tour of
inspection with a view of entering
this section of Georgia for the pur-
pose of making farm loans. They
were favorably impressed with Ter
rell county, and will probably soon
be placing money in this section.

SEVERE ON SHIP

 NOOGA CASE.
Attorney GeneraI Bonaparse Thinkn Tennessee sheriff Made Work of a Mob Easy by Aid-
 fax Tshen. 4#.

e.battnnooxa. rem. Feb. l0.--eopies If Inc rovermfnent'a 4 brief in the case If the United seates kb. T P. shipp ei kI, being the, prosecutloa on the ln- formation in contempt filed in July 1908. in connection with the lynching of Ed. Johnson, negro, were receiVeo here today.
 Tt is the closing of the governments case, and is a strong accusation against sheriff Shipp, Judge McReynold. of the Criminal Court. and Attorney General Nj N, Whitaker. -
 As to these three, the brief says:
 Little need be said about the testi- mony of Whitaker who prosecuted Johnson and McReynoida. who sat as Judge at his trial. Their desire to prosecute shIpp Is manifest; They are also evidently endeavoring by their testimony to justify their own actions on the night of the lynching. and es- pecIally their neglect to make any at- tempt to identify any of the f1ynchers, even as they did not see nr to attempt to stop the lynchlng.
 They testify that at about the time the mob entered the jail. they were a few blocks from the jail. and appre- hended that there was a mob for John- son. For more than half an hour be- fore the mob came out of the jail with Johnson, they were in the County court house. about twenty-five feet from the jail" etc.
 only one conclusion can be drawn" continues the brief. "shipp not only made the work of the mob easy. but aided and abetted 1t. The motive for his actions Is found in his desire to avoid criticism by a certain element in the conlmunity and obtain votes for his reelection"
 The brief, a document of sixty print ed pages. is signed by Charles J. Bona parte, Attorney General; Henry M. Hoyt Solicitor General. and Edwin w. Lawrence. special assistant to the At torney General.
 Reply briefs will be prepared at once by the defense. It is only about two weeks until the final hearing.
