FACULTY VACANCIES FILLED
MIR. DUKE, MISS PYE AND MISS
DIVINE ARE ELECTED.

Board Have Adopted Rules and Reg
ulatiOns, and Will Have a Cat
aIOgue Printed.
At meeting of the board of edu-
cation Thursday the vacancies in the
faculty of the Dawson public schools
for the ensuing year were filled.
Mr.. G. c. Duke of Newman, Ca,
was elected principal of the high
school, Miss Bessie Pye of Monticello,
Ga, teacher of the first grade, and
Miss Charlotte Atwater DeVine will
have charge of the department of
physical culture and expression.
Mr.. Duke is graduate of Mercer
University, has had three years ex-
perience as a teacher, and comes en-
dorsed in the very highest terms.
Miss Pye was educated at the Nor
NAL School, and has had eight years
experience in teaching. For the past
three years she has had charge of the
primary work in the Rochelle public
school, where the people were loath
to give her up.
Miss DeVine is a graduate of Bre-
nau College, and for the past two
years has taught expression in the
| Alabama Brenau at Eufaula. She
was also rendered the same position
another year, but preferred to come
| to Dawson.

and passed an order directing the
superintendent to prepare and have
published a report of the schools.
This report will be issued immediate
ly before the opening of the next
term.
The schools will open for the fall

The corps of teachers are as good
as can be found in the state, and the
prospects are bright for a very sue
cessful school year.

ENFORCE OR REPEAL IT.
is What Mayor Marlin Wants Done
to the Dog Law.

Like number of others the or
dinance which requires that dogs
that run at large in the city limits
shall be tagged is dead letter.
When the ordinance was passed a
year ago the city laid in a big sup
ply of tags to be disposed of at S2.25
per, but all but 29 of them are vet
on hand. This, too, notwithstand-
ing that the census of Dawson's dog
population might not, according to
city official, be many less than a
thousand.
The unused tags, and the army of
CANNES, including both the lowly cur
and the aristocratic bird dog, that
frequent the streets and premises of
those other than their owners have
attracted the attention of Mayor Mar
lin, and he is going to bring them
in conjunction or know the reason
why. In other words, he is going to
enforce the dog ordinance, or it
must be repealed.
He will bring the matter before
the council at the next meeting of
that body.

PISTOLS COOL LOVES AROOR
NEAR TRAGEDY IN WHICH PROM
INENT CUTHBERT PEOPLE
WERE CENTRAL FIGURES.

The Lumpkin Independent prints
on interesting account of a highly
sensational affair in that town in
which prominent Cuthbert people
nIayed the leading part. All of the
narties, who are extensively known
throughout this section, have num-
hers of friends and acquaintance in
Dawson, and the Lumpkin papers
story, which is reproduced below,
will be read with much interest here:
Orders Given at Pistols Point.
There came very near being a MUIR
derous assault in Lumpkin last Sat
urday afternoon when Messrs. John
Sealy and his son, Jack, appeared
upon the veranda of the Corbett
House with deadly weapons drawn
on the person of DR.. j. o. Baldwin,
all the parties being prominent peo-
pie of Cuthbert.
According to statements made in
the case Miss Rebecca Sealy, the
beautiful and winsome daughter of
Mr.. John Sealy, and DR.. Baldwin
were engaged to be married soon
Miss Sealy, having been one of the
guests of a delightful house party
for the week out at Mr.. Hugh Over
by's, sent the doctor word that she
would be visiting in Lumpkin Sat-
urday and to come.
Dr.. Baldwin came to Lumpkin
Saturday and met Miss Sealy here,
but she declined the matrimonial
VOWS so early in the summer, and
the June brides had all faded away
II is said that Dr. Baldwin did
not insist upon the marriage then,
and that he would submit to the
pretty girls wishes, whom he so
much loved.
Later in the day the father and
brother of the young lady arrived
IN town in their automobile, and it
was feared then that trouble was
brewing by parties familiar with the
affair.
The Sealys were kept close watch
upon, and after they had been. about
town for quite awhile they got in
their auto and were thought to have
started home, but they rode up in
front Of the Corbett House and found
Dr.. Baldwin sitting upon the porch,
and they had him in their clutches.
Dr.. Baldwin said he little dreamed
OF any trouble, and he was unarmed
and pOwerless, and all he could do
vas 10 look down the barrels of two
pistols and beg for his life.
Parties in the office who overheard
what was said stated that DR.. Bald
win took a great deal of abuse from
the men, and that tragedy seemed
imminent.
As soon as the law" was laid
down to Baldwin the men departed
Immediately for Cuthbert.
The orders in part to the young
man were that they would kill him
on first sight if he married Miss
Sealy, or if he ever put his foot on
Cuthbert soil again.
1t is said DR.. Baldwin promised
them that if they would spare his
life he would do their bidding.
Shortly after the Sealys left Bald
win walked down to see Miss Sealy

M'LENDON TOOK DOWN $1,000
The Railroad Commissions Chairman
So Told the Investigating Com.
mittee on Monday.

nl1JtCt On NAOuudEs
ATLANTA, Gas. Guyton Nc
Lendon, the suspended railroad COM
missioner, stated to the investi-
eating committee today that he was
given profit on the sale of $4,000
of Athens Street Railway bonds,
which was made through w. H. Pat
terson, vice-president of the Central
Bank and Trust Company, for Nc
Tendon.
McLendon said that Patterson gave
him $1,000 on the first transaction
of $4,000. The bonds were offered
at par by the company and sold at
100. He got the profit. The amount
of profit to him in the second trans
action was $188.12.
Patterson's offer to give him the
profits was voluntary, McLendon
said. There was no agreement be-
tween them about the profits. He
had not seen the bonds and had no
idea that such profit had accrued I'M
til informed by Mr.. Patterson.
To Help the Administration.
Chairman McLendon gave this as
his reason for the Athens bond trans
action:
THE law on the whole subject
is too plain to admit of controversy
or difference of opinion. The utmost
limit to which unfriendly criticism
could go would be to say l made a
mistake. But IL l did, it was one
which had its inception in an effort
to help a man in political distress,
who had been my friend; if a mis-
take, it was free from any faint of
corruption and was hallowed in it's
birth by as pure purpose of friend
ship as ever prompted human heart. "
Investigation Concluded.
The taking of testimony was con-
cluded today, and the committee will
make its report to the legislature.
The charges of Ex-Governor Smith
against the suspended commissioner
because he did not vote for port
rates will cut no figure in the final
outcome, and has practically been
eliminated. The fate of McLendon
hangs almost wholly on the bond
transactions.

PLOWED UP COTTON.
The, BlackrOOt Is Destroying Whole
Fields of 1t.

Elder w. T. Everett, who was in
Colquitt county recently, reports that
the ravages of blackroot in that Sec
ton is fearful. 1t is worse than he
has seen or heard of anywhere else.
Elder Everett saw big fields where
all of the cotton had been plowed up
and peas planted, and in other fields
large spots of cotton were entirely
dead and the remainder had wilted
and was fast dying.
The disease is said to be doing
more injury in that section of the
state this year than anywhere else.

Members of the board are elected

There was not a prisoner in the
