The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1910-01-12
ALBANY GREATLY SHOCKED
PROFOUND SORROW IN JUDGE
GRIGGS' SECOND HOME"
Both City and County Send Floral
Designs, and Appoint Officials
and Committee of Citizens.

The Albany Herald of Thursday
told as follows how the news of Con-
gresham Griggs' death was received
in that city:
No news could have more pro-
foundry shocked Albany than that
which brought the information late
yesterday evening that Congressman
Griggs was dead 1t was unbeliev
able, but it was true.
First tidings that our congressman
was no more came in private tele-
phone message from the Dawson
Office of the Georgia Cotton Compa
ny to the head Office Within a few
minutes The Herald was in commu-
nication with Dawson, and confrma-
ton Of the unhappy tidings was Sc
cured
In an incredibly short space of
time the news was known over the
whole city. Telephone messages
flashed in every direction, and
scores of messages to and from Daw-
son were hurried over phone and
telegraph wires.
And Albany sorrowed, as she
, would for one of her own.
Nowhere Better Beloved.
For nowhere in the Second con-
, gressional district-not even in his
/ own town-was Judge Griggs better
/ known and more beloved than he was
in Albany. Whenever occasion of
! business or pleasure brought him to
/ this city his progress through the
streets was hampered at every step
! by the friendly hold-ups of the men,
women and children who knew him
and had years ago gagged him at his
true worth He was the personal
! friend of as many people in Dough
erty county as any man whose home
is in the county, and Albany, he had
many times remarked, seemed almost
! like a second home.
Today, as was the case yesterday
evening the death of Congressman
( Griggs has been almost the sole topic
/ Of conversation on the streets of Al
bany. 1t is realized that it will be
impossible for the Second district to
fill the place in Washington thus sud-
denly made vacant, for it has long
been recognized that Judge Griggs
combined, as does no other man in
the district, those qualities which
made him useful to his constituency
and the country at large-that made
him a representative lin class all
his own.
Tributes Universal.
The tributes that have been paid
to the dead congressman in Albany
have varied greatly in the manner of
their expression, but not from the
unanimity of sentiment indicative of
sorrow, and Of personal and public
loss.
Judge Griggs was the friend of

HAVE ROUGH TIME ON TRIP.
Hugh Kennedy and Henry Kohls
Visit Columbia River and Like
Prospects.

Hugh Kennedy and Henry Kohls
returned Friday from q weeks visit
to Columbia river points. They made
the trip overland from Beverly to
Wadluke and experienced some rough
going. Being unable to hire any sort
of a conveyance at Beverly they hit
the trail and enjoyed some "roughlns
it" that bordered on the strenuous.
When they reached Crab creek on
their first day out. they found the
creek to be swollen from the flood
and no fords available so they st, p-
ped and waded the stream the water
was icy cold. This experience was Il
bit expensive for Mr.. Kennedy lost
his gold watch and fob in the raging
water and could not recover them.
However, both gentlemen are high
ly pleased with what they saw. In
speaking of the Columbia river seq
ton Friday night. Mr.. Kennedy said,
II believe that the greatest real es-
tate activity In central Washington
is soon to center along the Columbia
river. The bench sloping to the river
is as pretty a sight as one ever be-
held and the soil appea' to be one
hundred feet deep. Such a prospect
would inspire anyone and look for
big things to be doing over there
from now on"

GETS SPECIAL PRICE
ON NACHES POTATOES
Everett Cleveland Has Some of
the Extra Large Ones, Such ~
the Railroads Want.

Everett Cleveland, well known ar
the potato king of the Naches, has
returned to North Yakima from Sc
attic where he sold a carload OF his
own growth of potatoes at $1S Der
ton. This price was considera bl q
above the prevailing figure but was
procured because there was q large
y. oportion of the extra large potatoes
in the car. The Northern Pacific and
other railuroad are now featuring the
large spuds Of the eastern Washing
ton irrigated sections, serving them
on the diners as a sample of what this
country can produce. Mr. Cleveland
sold to the commissary department
OF the railroad and was fortunate in
having what was wanted.
The potato situation in general in
Seattle was not very gratifying to Mr..
Cleveland. He says that the dealers
there are not storing but are buying
as their needs demand. This he
says. works against any special
stability In prices and therefore and
because Of the fact that potatoes are
freely offered he thinks present prices
may drop OF somewhat. He Is all
the more sorry for this because no
still has some potatoes to market.
There are great many spuds, Mr..
Cleveland says. In the White River
valley and no special scarcity in Ore
gon. He took three cars with him
and managed to make a good sale
on all OF them.

WANT PAVING ON CHESTNUT
Property Owners There Are
Anxious That Street Be Made
as Modern as Possible.

Paving for Chestnut street will be
the next improvement agitation which
will be placed before the people of
North Yakima. Property owners on
the street. on the east side, want it
and they recognize it's value. Messrs.
Mullins, Scho-n, Elliott and others
who have property there are anxious
that the street be made modern in
every respect and they expect to have
their ideas with regard to paving the
thoroughfare become general. They
recognize that any sort of paving is
an excellent thing as compared with
street that is not paved. Asphalt or
brick. however. will probably be their
preference.
There has been given every assur-
ance that there will be a subway I'M

FAMOUS EX-JOCKEY
WEEDS LADY BARBER
Charley Thorpe, Smitten Wah
Cil Who Shaved Him, Leads
Her to As1E.

OMAHA, Feb. x.--Every old-time
horseman and every shotgun man of
more recent date remembers Charley
Thorpe. He has just taken to himself
a wife, lady barber Of Omaha.
Fifteen years ago Charley Thorpe
was one Of the famous Jockeys of the
world, riding winning horses In all of
the big races in the United States He
followed this profession until he be-
came too heavy; but in the meantime
he had made fortune, which he in
vested in horse and cattle ranch out
near Geneva, Neb.. and q fruit ranch
at Medford, Ore.
After Charley Thorpe became too
portly and weighty to win horse races
he went in for trap shooting and was
an excellent marlSsman. Now, how
ever, he is married and lis going to
settle down, join the meat trust and
raise COWS and steers.
For several years there has been a
"1ady's'' barber shop in Omaha. run
In connection with one OF the leading
hotels.
For several years Charley Thorpe
has been making occasional trips to
Omaha, but during the past year
these trips have occurred as often as
once each week, and 1t has been OBJ
served that he has been stopping at
the hotel where the lady" BARRIERS
are employed. At the same time. and
especially during the last three
months, 1t has been noticed that when
Charley Thorpe came to Omaha and
stopped at this hotel he patrenized
the barber shop so frequently that his
visits have become q subject OF talk.
Not only would he be shaved daily,
but the razor was passed over his face
two and three items a day, ana his
hair would be clipped ana trimmed
as often. He always patr0nized one
particular chair, the one presided
over by Miss Ida Lindell, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Lindell. Essex, Ia.
A few days ago Charley Thorpe
came to town, was shaved and had
his hair trimmed as usual. Soon
thereafter Miss Lindell was missed
from her usual place. The next
thing that was heard of her WAS that
she had met Charley Thorpe at the
depot and that they had quietly gone
over to Red Oak, Ia, where, at the
home of mutual friend, they had
been married. Slice then Mr.. and
Mrs. Thorpe have returned to their
home at Geneva. Mrs. Thorpe has
given up being LADY barber and
Charley Thorpe has sworn off coming
to Omaha every day or two Just to be
shaved and have his hair trimmed.

smash the wood up by jumping on the
boards and boxes.
When one visits the isolation hos
pital, built by the county at consider
able cost, and notes the situation of
a county institution, surrounded on
every side by sage brush and without
one pleasant feature. there is enough
of sadness to the feeling of linear.
ceration" there. And the authorities
have provided this place with the in
tent of aiding sick people. When this
desolation, this utter lack of reason
able comforts is noticed, however, ali
has not been seen. The inmates are
bearing more suffering from lack OF
attention than from Illness
Everyone Promises, None Fulfil.
The word neglected" is the only
one they apply to the situation. Every
one has promised, little has been
done. Half dozen physicians of
prominence have visited the place, DR..
Nywening, city health officer and j.
e. Fitch, city health inspector, have
both been at the place during the last
week. These men have all said they
would look after affairs and see that
the situation was changed. The
changes have not been made.
If patient desires to eat, there is
nothing to eat; to sleep, there is no
bedding; to drink, there is no water;
to keep warm, there is no fuel; to
take a bath, there Is neither water
supply, means to heat the water nor
means to heat the room.
Some one is to blame, there are two
boards of health-county and city
two health officers, health inspectors
and physicians. The inmates can not
care for themselves, they are quaran-
tined. They do not know whom to
blame, they do not know to whom to
appeal for the aid they need. Perha ps
some one in authority who has the
attention of the contagious cases as
part of routine duty will realize tina,
there is a need at the contagious hos
pital and will see that money from
either the county or the city treasury
is spent to care for those who have
no way of caring for themselves be-
cause Of the very rules that the coun-
ty and the city have made.

SCAvENGER WORK
BEGINS IMMEDIATELY
Provisional Action by Council
Guarantees Immediate Relief
to Residents.

The board of health and the city
attorney have in hand the pei fecting
of an ordinance which will be submit
ted to the next melting of the council,
providing in detail for the collection
of city refuse and garbage as out
lined in the Herald few days ago.
A resolution was passed by the coun-
Gil Monday night allowing the City
Garbage company composed Of
Messrs. Priestly and Heath to COM
mence the scavenger work subject to
the action of the council at it's next
session.
The ordinance which WIS submitted
calling for five year contract had
not been gone into thoroughly enough
to permit of its being granted outright
but a practical submission to it's gen
eral provisions was acquiesced In by
the passage Of q resolution directing
the City Garbarge company TO begin
work.
This action was taken to head OF
further delay in the sanitary regula-
ton Of the city. Garbage has not
been well collected for several weeks
owing to the failure Of City Scavenger
Stump to systematixe the work and
handle It In a way satisfactory either
to the health department or to the
citizens. In many residence sections
the garbage Is rapidly accommodating
and it was pointed out that unless i'm
mediate action was taken looking to
instantaneous relief, the health Of the
city would be endangered. 1t il be-
lieved that the health department has
hit upon a plan which will guarantee
better and more efficient service In
the scavenger line than has obtained
here for several years.
