This meant fronting on Pennsylvania
avenue, which allows a splendid view
of the inaugural parade.
The rooms could only be rented
by the week, and all the meals would
have to be obtained elsewhere.

INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT STATE FL
NANCES IN THE CONTROLLERS REPORT.

ATLANTA.-The annual report of
Controller General w. A. Wright,
now in course of preparation, shows
some interesting facts regarding
GeOrgia's income and expenses. The
total receipts for 1908 from all
sources were $5,38S,273.16, as
against SASH, 764.83 for 1907. The
disbursements for 1908 increased in
even greater ratio, being $500
1851 as compared with S4,797,
469.59 for 1907.
The report shows that the 1908
session of the general assembly cost
the state more than any other since
the constitutional limitation of fifty
days each year was created. The
1908 meeting, including the extra
session, cost $108,721.02. This does
not include approximately $4,000 as
the legislatures share of the public
printing expense.
While receipts from automobile
taxes more than doubled, being ST.
ass in 1908 as against $500 in 1907,
there was a falling off of $500 in
the tax on bicycle agents. One item
of $40, returned anonymously
through an Augusta preacher, is
credited to the conscience fund"
The general tax for 1908 was 49,

EASTERN STAR RESOLUTIONS.
Lodge Pays Tribute to Memory of
Miss frankie Horsley.

1t has pleased our Heavenly
Father, by strange dispense
ton of His providence, to remove
from among us our beloved sister,
frankie Horsley, who so faithfully
lived the pure and undefiled religion
among us. Although one of our
youngest members, who was more
fitted to answer the Fathers call?
For she truly lived in deeds, not in
years; in thoughts, not breaths; in
feelings, not figures on the dial.
Though timid and shrinking by ma
ture, her sweet christian spirit had
it's influence on those among whom
she moved In the home she was
the Martha to minister unto the
needs of each and all. How she will
be missed there!
For she it was who knew what to
do and say
To drive with smile and loving word,
the gloom of the household away"
Resolved first, That though our
hearts bleed under this grievous
stroke, and are filled with a sense
of sore bereavement, we bow in sub
mission to the will of our Lord, as
sured that He doeth all things well.
While we cannot now understand we
can still trust Him to make it plain
in His own good time.
Second, That we extend christian
sympathy to the family and pray
Gods blessings upon it.
Third, That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of the East
ern Star, copy be furnished the
family and printed in The Dawson

Judge Newman Holds Husband Was
Sane When He Borrowed Money.
In the case of Mrs. Carrie Worrill
of Lumpkin and the British-Ameri-
can Mortgage Company, in which
Mrs. Worrill as administrators for
her husband refused to pay a loan
of $4,000 made by her husband be-
fore his death, on the ground that
he was insane, Judge Newman has
filed his decision in the clerks office
of the United States court, which is
in favor of the mortgage company,
and in which he says that, from the
testimony, WOrrill was capable of
making the contract.
This practically sustains the rul-
ing of Standing Master Goetchius of
Columbus, from whom the case was
appealed to Judge Newman on GER
tain exceptions, and Mrs. Worrill
thereby loses her case in regard to
all contentious made by her counsel.

reSSlnS ACCIDENT.
Relatives and friends in Dawson
of the little victim and her mother,
who recently visited and are we'll
known here, will read with regret
the following from the Americas
Mary Hoyl, the pretty little six
year-old daughter of Mrs. Ruby D.
Hoyl, was the victim of a distressing
and most painful accident yesterday,
resulting in the fracture of both
bones of her right wrist. The little
girl was at the home of Mrs. George
Riley, nearby, when the hard wind
blew the front door closed. In at
tempting to catch it the little hand
extended was caught by the door and
severely crushed, both bones being
broken. The child stood the ordeal
bravely as the Drs. Cato reset the
broken bones, scarcely a cry escap-
ing her pretty lips

cupatiOn taxes upon corporations in
creased $4,000 over 1907. The
near beer taxes paid into the treas
ury in 1908 were only $19,100,
though the receipts for 1909 from
this source are already more than
100000. The locker club tax paid
the state $14,850 last year, more
than half of which came from Sa-
yannah. The 1908 poll tax netted
1916, 1000, as against $4,000 in
1907.
The railroad and other corpora
lions taxes Cad valorem) paid in
1908 amounted to 1915, 914.93, as
against only $306,325.42 in 1907
This discrepancy is explained by the
fact that several railroads did not
pay their 1907 taxes until January,
1908.
Public schools and pensions con-
stitute the chief items of state ex-
pense. Pensions cost about $94O, 900
each year. Public schools in 1908
were paid $2,2O6,336.92, as against
$1,667,475.25 in 1907. Agricultural
schools received $4,000 last year,
as against only $4,000 in 1907.
Other routine expenses increased
only in comparatively small amounts.

A Law on the Subject That Is Not
Generally Known. What Is Says.
A law that was passed by the leg
islature at its last session which is
not generally known but nevertheless
is of interest and Importance to the
public relates to the disposition of
dead carcasses.
1t provides that no municipality
or individual shall place a carcass
on the land or premises of any per-
son without burying it so as to pre-
vent any stencil therefrom. A viola
ton of the law is a misdemeanor
offense, and any one who is convicted
OF violating it will be so punished.
This law is of special interest here
in Dawson, where one damage suit
is pending in the courts on account
of the city boneyard, and another
was narrowly averted.
The town has had to move it's
dumping grounds twice in about a
year, but the council has now Sc
cured a place from Mr.. Mercer SO
far removed from any ones residence
that no further trouble is expected
on account of disagreeable odors and
poisoned atmosphere from garbage

THE WEEVIL IN FOUR YEARS
MUST GROW COTTON THAT WILL
RESIST ITS ATTACK.
Experiment Fields to Be Established
Near Vienna and Americas to
Test a Variety.

Test a Variety.
THE boil weeviI, we believe, will
be in Georgia in four years in spite
of all we can do, and we are now
working to produce a variety of cot
ton that will not only resist the
black root, prevalent in many coun-
ties in Georgia, but will mature sufti-
GENTLY early to resist the ravages
of the boil weevil''
This is the statement of State En-
tomologist E. L. Worsham, who has
just made a careful study of the re-
ports concerning the progress of the
boil weevil across the cotton states
These reports show that this ravag-
ing insect is travelling towards Geor-
gia at the rate of about sixty-five
miles year, and is already half way
across the state of Mississippi.
The authorities who have been
studying this insect believe that it
will reach the Alabama line during
the present season. 1t will only take
a short time then for it to cross this
state and enter the cotton fields of
Georgia. In order to forestall it if
possible Prof. Worsham is going to
establish experiment fields near vi
emma and Americas this year and
plant them with a variety of cotton
which he hopes will develop sufi-
GENTLY early to throw off the attack
of the boil Weevil, which generally
does it's damage in the late summer.
In view of the great number of
cotton mills and cotton oil mills in
Georgia any appreciate curtailment
of the cotton crop in this state would
prove disastrous to the planters.
Within recent years Georgia has been
greatly enriched by the operations of
over two hundred cotton oil mills,
which are consuming all of the cot
ton seed produced in Georgia, paying
the farmers handsomely for them and
in turn giving to the farmer his best
and cheapest cattle feed and ingre-
dent for his principal fertilizer and
table oil, which surpasses in point
of palatableness and healthfulness
any olive oil to be secured in this
country. The various branches of
the department of agriculture are
keeping a rigid watch to see that no
seed from the boil weevil district
are being shipped into Georgia.

THE SAME HERE IN DAWSON
VALDOSTA INCIDENT EXPLAINS
WHY THE CASH is SENT
AWAY FROM HOME.

Dawson people who patronize
the mail order houses of New
York, Chicago and the larger
cities of the north and east will ap-
preciate the following story told by
the Valdosta Times at the expense of
one of it's merchants, as, fortunately,
the same conditions existing in that
city is found here as we'll:
THE other day a local merchant
happened to see a farmer receiving
some goods at the depot, and no.
ticed that they came from a Chicago
mail order house.
HE noticed that the goods were
in his line, and the same he had car
ried in his store for several years.
He approached the farmer and said:
81 could have sold you every article
you have there for less money than
you paid the Chicago house, and
saved you the freight besides"
Then why didn't you say SOP
answered the farmer. 1 have taken
The Times for years, and have never
seen a line about you selling these
goods. This mail order house sent
advertising matter asking for my
trade and got it. If you have bar
gains why don't you have them put
in the paper?'
THAT ended the argument, and the
merchant went to corral other mer-
chants who never advertise and ex-
plain to them that the mail order
houses was running their business.
''It is not an infrequent occur
renee that merchants complain of
people who send away for their goods
when the same articles could be pur-
chased from them, and at possibly
less cost. And yet these merchants
are to blame. They do not let the
people know what they have for sale.
and the out-of-tOwn man does, hence
the mail order business.
people have passed the time
when they hunt up articles they
want by making the rounds of the
stores. They now wait for the mer-
chant to hunt them up, and the live
merchant gets the trade"

In the preparation of holsters for the table the essential thing is that the lobster shall be allowed to live long enough after being caught to di- gest. whatever it may have eaten im- mediately before. The lobster that is caught near the shore is very apt to have fed .on things that are poisonous to human beings. The danger of such contamination seems to be. greater for residents along shore than for persons living in the interior, who do not get their lobsters so fresh. "-Hartford Times.
