The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1909-05-12

The News has been furnished with
two very interesting resolutions for
publication.
They were adopted by the Farm
ers' Union of Terrell county at the
regular monthly meeting in Bron-
wood on Thursday, and on account Of
the nature and Importance of the
matters with which they deal they
are sure to attract attention.
One of the resolutions condemns
what is termed the useless and reck-
less cutting Of bales and waste Of
cotton by buyers in procuring sam
pies. In discussing the resolution it
was stated that besides disfguring
the bales two or three pounds of cot
ton are taken out of each package;
that these samples are afterwards
packed into bales of cotton and put
upon the market, thereby tictitiOusly
increasing the number of bales pro-
duced something like $4,000, as this
cotton has previously been counted
in the bales from which it is taken.
The resolution follows
I'VE hereby condemn the practice
of disfguring, cutting and removing
samples from cotton bales after they
have been packed and put upon the
market. This practice is wasteful
and distigures the package, and the
samples of cotton thus taken being
repacked add $4,000 or more bales
to the estimated crop, thereby hav-
ing depressing effect upon the
price.
Resolved further, That the mat
ter could be remedied by the passage
of some law to appoint sworn gin
ners, who should be required to give
bond to faithfully and correctly take
from each bale, when being ginneC
and packed, an average sample OF
the same, which should be numbered
to correspond with the bale from
which it is taken; and that the sale.
should be made by the samples thus
procured.
Resolved further, That we spe
cially call the attention of the mex
session of the legislature of GeOrgi;
to this important matter, and reQues
our senator and representative T.
take the matter up, and use thei
best efforts to secure the passage O
some law which will remedy tn
trouble and defects complained Of.
Done by order Of Terrell Count
Union in regular session.

Want Farmers as GuanO Inspector
The other resolution deals wit
the matter of guanO inspection.
The farmers believe that as tn
inspection is now done it is too cos
ly to the state; that the number
inspectors should be fixed by Law
and that none but farmers or pc
sons who are interested in agricu
ture should be eligible to these pos

tons. The resolution on this sub
ject follows:
Whereas, it appears that the
Commissioner Of Agriculture of the
State of Georgia is by law authorized
to appoint ad libitum any number of
guanO inspectors, in such counties
as in his judgment they are needed;
and, whereas, it appears that the
law has not provided any rules gov
erning these appointments, either as
to qualification or as to number;
and
Whereas, it appears that the cost
to the state out of fees for inspection
Of fertilizers, including the salaries
and expenses of inspectors, amounts
to about $4,000 annually; and
Whereas, we believe that the law
should fix definitely the number of
inspectors to be appointed, and
should fix the qualifications of such
inspectors so that no person except
such as is a practical farmer or one
interested in agriculture shall be
eligible; and
Whereas, we believe that the sala-
ries now paid such inspectors are

vice rendered, be it therefore
Resolved, That we invite our rep
resentative and senator to use their
best judgment and introduce some
act in the next general assembly that
will correct the above defects in the
law. Passed at regular May session
of Farmers Union.

Liftlna TIE America CUP.

Lifting the America's Cup.
SIR Thomas Upton Is not gutter
even IL be n good loser. He has
been trying for the Americas cup al
most ~ long as the present generation
can remember and seems willing to
try again, but not under the old rules
promulgated by the New York Yacht
club. To build q boat in Europe, sail
Il across the Atlantic and compete
with an American built boat that IL
not compelled to cross the sea he has
found to be impossible. and he asks
that the rules be so far changed rs TO
allow him TO build his boat In Ameri-
CO after designs prepared In Great
Britain or In some other way to avoid
using a racer that II first made to
stand a long ocean voyage. His con.
tention Is that such an ocean voyage
not only strains and Injuries racing
yacht, but that a vessel constructed
for such a trip must be ON lines that
sacrifice speed.
To the lay mind there seems reason
In this contention, and as much as
Americans desire the cup to remain on
this side Of the Atlantic they would
not be willing TO retain 1t by unsports-
manlIke methods or by taking what
even seems to he an unfair advantage
Of competitor That would rob the
victory Of all it's pleasure. Moreover,
Sir Thomas has shown himself 80 true
a sportsman that his mere suggestion
Of this objection should carry weight.
1t Is unquestionably true, as he says,
that II the present rules are not
changed the races for the Americas
cup will be things Of the past. What.
ever the New York Yacht club may
decide or whatever their reasons for
adherence to the regulations now in
force. there IL no question that the
great mass OF the American public,
which IL always generous and In IA.
vor Of the utmost fair play, is In sym.
pathy with Sir Thomas request We
have every confidence that whatever
change Is made In the rules we can
retain the cup. but whether we do OF
not Is not matter Of the highest Inn
portance. II would be infinitely better
TO lose II than to have the slightest
suspicion of unspOrtsmanllke methods
laid at our door.

Just now there are q number OF
politicians scattered over the state OF
Idaho who are at heart not In favor
of prohibition and their frantic eff
forts to cater to this element Is not
sincere. They are making q noise
for the purpose OF catching support
to help them along in personal ambi-
tinons to secure public ONCE. To
say that they are confined TO any one
party would not be true. e. they are
m@rlbers Of the leading and the
minor parties. and many OF them
were known TO be opposed TO pro-
hibition previous to the insertion Of
planks in their state platforms which
were put there solely for the purpose
OF catching votes in the last state
election. Such men are prohibition
lists for policy only, and know that
they are taking q false position for
the sole purpose OF securing political
preterment. We have respect for the
sincere prohibitionist who Is actuated
from pure motive OF lettering the
condition OF the human race, but the
political mountebank who 10 deceiv-
Ing the people does not deserve the
confidence nor the respect Of those
whom he IL attempting to deceive.
Too many men resort to any expedl-
ency that they believe win advance
their political prospects, regardless
Of any other consideration. The
eagerness OF men In political life to
cater 70 any ism or Bchism that
promises to add strength to their
political aspirations il one OF the

ties. One Of the undesirable features

The experiment Of grand opera i'm.
presarlo to supply New York with
cheap opera has been declared dis
appointment Good opera at cheap
prices was offered High priced sing
ers and musicians and all the scenery
and accessories OF high priced opera
were employed In producing cheap

ciated the treat, the season proved un-
profitable. The New York experience
IL unfortunate for the whole country.
Good music at moderate prices IL a

The rage for what Is called. often
appropriately, popular music may
stand In the way Of securing good
music ct moderate prices. Expensive
opera runs to dazzling names aud rep
utations rather than to good singing
and orchestratlOn. With some who
ask for cheap opera the demand Is for
daEzling work at low prices of admls-
sion. This the management cannot

The notion In the theatrical world
that sensation Is the only thing which

There Is In the country growing

It is voiced at all, from the pOssessors
