a careful perusal of the same, l be-
lieve to be discriminating uncOnsti-

gentlemen, l believe it to be my duty
to avail myself of the authority given
to me by our present charter, that
is the power of veto, which l exer-

JOHN R. IRWIN WILL SPEAK
SAYS COMPULSORY EDUCATION
BILL NIPERILS THE STATE.

Invites the People to Hear Him Dis
cuss Question, and Will Divide
Time With ANY One.
Hon. John r. Irwin, state senator
from this district, is very much OPP
posed to the compulsory education
bill that is now pending before the
legislature. He sees in it peril for
the best interests of Georgia, and
proposes to give the people the bene-
Mt OF his views in public address
to be delivered at the court house in
Dawson on the night of February
25th.
He also offers to divide time in
a joint debate on the question with
any one who may want to be heard
IN behalf of the proposed law.
Mr.. Irwin has sent The News the
following notice of his intention to
speak to the people:
Mr.. Irwin's Card.
To the Public: The average citi-
zen of Georgia seems so engrossed in
the pressing obligations of the hour
that | fear the higher and nobler duty
is neglected, which requires due re-
gard for the future interests of pos
terity.
While we are faithful to attend to
every civil and moral duty which
looks to the present welfare of Geor-
gla no patriot will neglect the higher
responsibility of wisely providing for
the peace, prosperity and welfare of
future generations.
The glories of the past and the
greatness of the present are of little
concern What we shall be is the
mOmentous question.
The provisions for wisely and eco
nomically educating the youth Of
Georgia is just now demanding atten-
ton from all patriots. Many schemes
are being devised and plans promul-
gated looking to Improvement in our
present system. Defects exist and
conditions of high taxes amounting
almost to cOnfiscation are the tangled
web of our civilization, and. are year
ly becoming more perplexing. Is it
not timely that We should hold COM
munion one with another and ascer-
tain if possible our longitude and
latitude.
l have felt for some time that a
great calamity is threatened in the
purpose of some good people to fasten
upon the state a compulsory educa-
tional law. No good can come from
such law, but many evils would
follow its enactment.
have thought proper to discuss
the bill publicly in the near future
so that We may exchange views, since
the matter will come before the SEN
ate next summer and / wish to be in
a position to vote intelligently and
act according to the wishes of the
people.
On Friday night, February the
25th, l will address the people of Ter
rell county in Dawson opposing
compulsory education bill now pend
ing before the legislature. | will
divide time with any one who desires
to advocate the measure. Very re-
specially, JNO. r. IRWIN.

I MEN SAVED
BY Lifeline
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire
NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Seven-
teen men, forming the crews of
two wrecked fishing schooners,
today slid to safety on the slender
lifeline of the Sandy Hook life
saving station. The vessel were
driven ashore on Sandy Hook by
a fierce gale which ragged through
the night.
The schooner Franklin B. Mel
son was the first to be sighted in
distress.
The lifesavers attempted to
launch their boat, but were buff
feted back by the breakers that
rolled in mountain high. The gun
and line then were resorted to
with success. Man after man
came ashore in the breeches
buoy. Hardly had the last man
left the Nelson when she sank.
Almost Immediately the schoon-
er Libby struck. The life line
again was used by the men ashore,
and every person on the Libby
was brought to safety.
The Libby seemed to withstand
the pounding of the waves and it
is believed that she can be saved.

ALIEN BILL

TOXIC, Feb. IL. - Seeing re-
taliation In the action of the house
immigration committee in consid-
ering favorably the Hayes anti
alien bill, Japanese press and poll
ticians throughout the empire to-
day are excitedly and adversely
discussing the measure.
The Hayes bill, Which here ap-
pears likely to become law,
provides that no alien shall be ad-
mitted into the United States If
he is found Ineligible to become
citizen. This is considered as
tantamount to exclusion of Japan
ese and all Asiatics.
The press here is a unit in des-
ignating the bill as a retaliatory
measure aimed at Nippon because
of the refusal of Japan to accede
to the terms of the Manchurian
railway note of Secretary of State
Knox.
