A CORRECTION.
Rocky Branch Instead of BrOnwood
Played Pleasant Hill.


To the Editor of The Dawson
News: For their own and for the
benefit of other teams that have been
defeated by them the management of
the Bronwood base ball team wishes
to have the statement corrected that
appeared in certain column of The
News last week concerning a baseball
game played on the Brentwood dia-
mOnd August 6. The reporter for
The News was informed incorrectly
or misunderstood "BrOnwOod" for
Rocky Branch. The game was writ
ten up as having been played on
Friday, August 9Th. There was no
game here on that date, but the
game referred to was played on Au-
gust 9Th by the Pleasant Hill team
strengthened by two players from
the PARROT team and several from
Cottondale versus the Rocky Branch
team. The final score was 20 to 7
In the formers favor. No Bronwood
player participated in the game on
either side; furthermore, it was I'M
derstood that the two teams were
playing off a tie game that was played
upon the same grounds one week
before. Brentwood hasn't been de-
feated quite that bad so far, and
certainly not by the team that claims
such a victory in this instance. Xxx.

My, my, man! You ought to get
out among the farming class of peo-

they think of you. This is the one
class Of voters that have cursed Won

10 the other. And what else could
you expect?
y. b. Stevens is a farmer because
ne owns thousands of acres of land
John ID. Rockefeller is a farmer he
cause he owns thousands and thou-
sands OF acres of land, and J. Pier
pont Morgan is farmer because he
owns many thousand acres of land
On TINS hypothesis Of reasoning. and
that's the way Uncle ODE puts it, the
TWO latter are larger farmers than
even Uncle ODE.
Inc position you are trying to oc-
cupy IN an effort to bamboozle the
FARMER out of his vote bears about
the same resemblance to your real
vocation and your every act as an
oIlclal that a Poland China pig bears

Fetain the Only Farmer.

From the Neriwether Vindicator.
The railroad commission as it is at
present constituted has only one far
mer member. Three are lawyers, one
railroad man and ore farmer are on
the board Hon. o. p. Stevens is
the farmer commissioner, and he
is being opposed by q lawyer. Should
his opponent defeat him there would
be no representative of the agricult-
ural element on the commission.
The farmers of Georgia are entitled
to at least one representative on this
important rate-making body. They
are greatly interested in freight
rates, and their rights should be
looked after by commissioner who
knows their needs and interests.

POLITICAL SWAN SONGS.

For the first time in number of
years The News feels like apologize
ing to its readers. An unexpected
rush of political advertising matter
has crowded our columns, and made
it necessary to leave out much in
teresting news both of a local and
general nature The News, being
purely a business enterprise and not
q political organ published in the
interest of or against any candidate
or faction, treats them all alike
gives their swan songs the desired
space and the same careful attention
at the same price.
The next issue of this paper will
be printed after midnight of election
day, and will tell the story of the
battle of the ballots-the victors ac-
claimed by their fellowmen, and the
less fortunate but no less worthy
brothers who have fallen in the
quagmire of defeat.
In just one more week the people
will make their verdict, and we will
be through with politics for two
years Let US hope that every reg
istered voter will go to the polls next
Tuesday, and vote a clean, honest
ballot for his choice of the candi-
dates.

Lands Restored to Entry.

Washington.-A joint plan formulat
ed by Secretaries Ballinger and Wilson
and approved by President Taft which
will eliminate 100000 acres of land
from the forest reserves, will take
from Colorado reserves about 100000
acres and approximately the same
acreage from Wyoming reserves.
The lands will be available for home
stead settlement by the action of Pres
ident Taft when he approved the plans
for the reclassification of forest lands
which were formulated by Clifford Pin
chct.
1t has been found millions of acres
of lands which were tillable were be-
ing held back unintentionally in the
forest domain; in the state of Idaho
more than 100000 acres were so in
cluded. The plans for the elimination
of those lands were formed by Mr.
tInchot and started last summer.
The elimination is not complete and
three-tenths of the total public forests
are to be reclassified. 1t is impossible
to estimate how much more land will
be available for settlement when the
is complete.

plans formulated for the reception to

time between June 18th and 21st.
Col John A. Stewart, president
of the New York State League OF Re-
publican Clubs, and representative OF
the Republican Club of New York.
discussed the matter with tthe Presi
dent, and told him the committee
would undoubtedly extend formal in
vitation for him to be present at New
York as the guest of honor.
In the cablegram received at New
York Tuesday Mr.. Roosevelt stated
that he would be glad to accept a re-
ception, provided it was made simple
affair, and was rendered the day of his
arrival.
Colonel Stewart said the idea now
was to have the steamer on which Mr..
Roosevelt arrives met down the bay
by a fleet of yachts and harbor craft
and that there would be land parade.
The plan for President Tafts partlct
patton is to have him present in New
York so that Mr.. Roosevelt may call
upon him. The days celebration Will
end with a big banquet at which Presi'
dent Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt will b.
the principal speakers.

DEATH CAUSED BY STRYCHNINE
GIVEN IN CAPSULE BY
DR.. HYDE
FINDS COR0NER'S JURY
DEVELOPMENTS IN KANSAS CITY
CASE MAY LEAD TO SEN
SATIONAL TRIAL.

Kansas City, Mo.-Col. Thomas III.
Swope came to his death by reason oil
strychnine administered in a capsule
of DIR. B. C. Hyde. husband, husband
of the millionaire's niece, according to
the verdict of the coroner's jury in In
dependence Wednesday.
Whether the drug was administered
with felonious intent, the jury said IN
it's verdict, it was unable to deter
mine.
The Jury was out but little more
than an hour. The greater part OF
this time was devoted to discussing
the case But one ballot was neces'
sary to agree upon verdict.
Although there were numerous and
hurried consultations between attor'
neys for the state and DR.. Hyde and
his legal advisers, and although rv-
mors regarding probable prosecution
were plentiful, the case stands just as
it did when the coroner's jury re-
turned it's verdict.
John H. Atwood and James A. Reed,
attorneys for the Swope estate, held
a lengthy conference at Reeds home.
Subsequently it was reported that a
request had been made by one of the
Swope attorneys for a grand jury.
Judge Ralph S. Latshaw said that
grand jury had been suggested by
Prosecutor Tonkling, but that so far
as he could see nothing that could
warrant calling one.
Prosecutor Virgil Conkling refused
to discuss his plans. He said posi-
lively, however, that he would confer
with his associates in the prosecutors S
office before he took any action.
He and Henry l.. Jost, first assistant
circuit attorney, who has done the
major portion of the investigating for
the state in the Swope mystery, will
confer.

During the electrical storm Thurs

only one fourth that amount.

cattle were burned and go ton of hay

enough, seemed to favor this locality,
and the damage was slight. In other
localities though corn and tobacco were
given hard jolt. Early Thursday
morning, however, this section 'gOt
hers" and no more complaint will prob
ably be heard about drouth. 1t was
probably the most severe storm that
has visited us in many years and the
appearance of corn and tobacco would
indicate great damage. About five
o'clock in the morning rain fell in tor
rents, accompanied by gale that laid
corn and tobacco low. Breaches and
leaves of the trees were strewn about
the streets, and a portion of the tin
roof of the Chase warehouse was torn
off and the smoke stack at the canning
factory was blown ever. -Sun Prairie
