ONE WORD MORE.

The News has repeatedly called at
tention to the need Of a well organ
lied Board of Trade and to the many
things which such an organization
could do for the good of the town.
Recently citizen saw fit, in an ar
ticle in these columns, to place this
matter pertinently before the pub
lie. and to ask What is the matter
with Dawson?" Since that time this
citizen has received communications
from one or two of our neighbor-
ing towns situated so as to nave
what amounts to a common inter-
est with us commencing the effort
and indicating that Dawson can get
all the help needed from its neigh
bors in a movement to secure bet
ter attention at the hands of our
public service corporations, as well
as in any other matter where there
is a common interest. Let's organ
ize and get busy for the things that
are important to Dawson.

HELPING GEORGIA.

The Atlanta Constitution, which
has always done a large part in pro-
noting Georgia's growth and pros
perity, has now undertaken a project
to further help the state and it's peo-
pie.
1t is waging a campaign, through
a series of editorials and illustra-
lions, to attract the attention of the
rest of the country to the resources
and advantages of Georgia. A re-
cent issue of the Constitution prints
map of Georgia walled off from the
other states and showing that, if sup
plies from elsewhere were cut off,
it would still be Independent, and
with it's own resources could give
sustenance to 100000 people.
Within its area that population could
live in comfort and contentment.
The Constitution has perhaps never
done anything that will result in
more lasting good to Georgia than
the splendid work it is now doing.

"HULLO!"

When you see a man in woe
Walk right up and say 'Hullo!"
Say "hullo" and "how dye do;
How's the world serving your"
Slap the fellow on his back,
Bring your hand down with a
Whack;
Waltz right up, and don't go slow.
Grin and shake and say "hullo."
If he's clothed in rags, o sho,
Walk right up and say, "hullo;"
Rags is but a cotton roll
Jest for wrappin' up a soul;
An soul is worth a true
Hale and hearty how dye do!''
Don't wait for the crowd to 20.
Walk right up and say ''hullo!"
Wen big vessels meet, they say.
They saloot an sail away.
Jest the same are you and me.
Lonesome ships upon a sea.
Each one sailing his own Jog,
For port beyond the fog;
Let your speakin' trumpet blow,
Lift your horn and cry "hullo!'
Say 'hullo" and how dye do!'
other folks are good as you.
Wen you leave your house Of CLAW
Wanderin' in the far-away,
Wen you travel through the strange
Country t'Other side the range
Ihen the souls you cheered will know
Who you be and say "hullo!"

A PUSH-CART SERMON.

II DiOgenes today were prosecut-
ing his historic search for an honest
man he would doubtless hang his
lantern on the end of one particular
push-cart in New York and retire to
his tub, satisfied that his quest was
ended.
The owner of this push-cart is
Israel Neboschik, a poor Russian i'm
migrant, who is eking out living on
the curb, selling laces, celluloid col
lars and other odds and ends, from
pins to gold-plated collar buttons.
The other day from beneath his cart
Israel picked up a pocketbook con-
tanning 5000. The sum was fort
une to him. 1t would set him up in
business in a little store Ind probably
prove the stepping stone to financial
independence. The visions of flu
ture wealth fairly dazzIed him. But
then he realized that the money was
not his, and lest he be tempted be-
yond his strength to resist he grasp
ed the pocket book firmly in his hand
and fairly ran to the nearest police
station, where he turned the money
over to the police. Honest old Is
rael
A little later the owner was found.
She proved to be an errand girl, who
had been sent from a costume estab-
lishment on West Twenty-seventh
street to a bank to draw out money
to pay employees. While on her way
back she had passed by IsraeIs push
cart and had dropped the pocket
book. The manager of the costume
establishment after getting the mon
ey at the police station called to
thank Israel and offer him a reward.
He accepted the thanks, but did not
wish a reward However, the man
ager left s. bill in his hands and
Israel stood staring at it and wonder
ing what he would do with it. One
of his fellow vendors told him to
keep it. NO" said Israel. There
is in Russia a poor woman whose
husband is in this country, and he
doesn't send her any money. III send
it to her" And he did.
If there were more like him in this
world it would be a sweeter and bet
ter world. There would be less sor-
didness, more charity, more mercy,
more peace, more joy, more happi-
ness, more of the spirit of brother
hood and humanity, without which
men can never rise to the level of the
poor push-cart peddler. Israel has
preached a better sermon than was
heard in many of the churches Sun
day-better, perhaps, than will be
heard in some of them for many a
day.

THE RURAL NAIL.

The rural mail has contributed
much more than even the telephone
toward making farm life enjoyable.
By it's means the farmer is brought
every day into close touch with the
world. and he now receives his news
papers and letters as regularly and
almost as promptly as the city man.
No longer is it necessary for a weary
man to hitch up a tired horse and
drive several miles to the postoffice
for the accumulated mail.
The rural mail is doing more than
any other one thing to elevate agri-
culture and keep the boys on the
farm. But the service costs a lot of
money. During the current year the
rural mail will cost the government
about $40, 100000 and bring in only
about SIS, OO,00O-a deficit of about
$25, 100000.
Postmaster General Hitchcock,
however, takes the sensible view that
the service, by including a parcels
post, may be made much more valua-
Bile to the farmers and at the same
time self-sustaining. He argues that
if it is a good thing for the govern
ment to carry to the farmer his let
tiers and newspapers it would be a
good thing to carry to him also such
articles as he sees fit to order by
mail or telephone from town and city
merchants. He regards it as waste
of effort for a man and a team to
travel a score Of miles every day to
carry merely a few pounds of mail
when, with little more effort, the
same man and team could carry sew
eral hundred pounds of merchandise.
Anticipating that congress will APP
prove the parcels post system Mr..
Hitchcock has decided to use the
$4,000 600 increase granted him in
raising the pay of the 10000 free
delivery carriers about 500 each.
Paying a man for increased labor
before the work is actually decided
on is rather unusual, and the action
of the postmaster general would seem
to indicate that congress will act
favorably.

He Afiiicts Every Town.

From the Eastman Times-Journal.
The man who habitually sends his
money to mail order houses for goods
which he could buy to better advant-
age to himself from home merchants
is generally the first to growl about
the deafness of his home town. Ap-
parently he forgets that he is a prime
cause of its deafness and that he is
the most fitting person to officiate at
It's funeral. Live men imbued with
true local pride and patriotism mean
live town every time, even as dead
men mean a dead town.

REFERENDUM AND RECALL.

The bill that has been introduced
in the legislature by Mr. Payton of
Worth providing for a constitutional
amendment introducing the initia-
tive, referendum and recall to our
state, county and municipal systems
of government is likely to provoke a
good deal of discussion.
Undoubtedly the initiative, refer
endum and recall have some merit,
but it is a question if the good in
them is sufficient to justify the bur-
dens they impose on the people or
to offset the evils for which they
open the way. 1t would mean one
election after another, and no end to
political strife and turmoil, as under
it so few voters could call for an
election to GUST an official. 1t is a
fact that it isn't difficult to get peo-
pie to sign petition for almost any
thing.
The Payton bill should be given
very thoughtful consideration.

North Georgia Has Already Attended

From the Macon Telegraph.

Probably the most famous prison
er in this country is Jesse Pomeroy,
the 'boy murderer Of Massachu-

of solitary confinement so that at
certain times he may speak to others
and even receive visitors. The miti-
cation is a mercy.

Congressman Roddenbery engaged
in a rough and tumble debate the
other day with such old-timers as
former Speaker Cannon, Serene
Payne and John Fitzgerald in which
he more than held his own. The
question under debate was a propos-

home people have satisfaction in OBJ
serving Mr.. Roddenbery's growing
influence in congress.

The state department of agricult-
ure would appear in much better
light if an effort had not been made
to defeat the legislative resolution
providing for an investigation. If
there is nothing wrong in the de-
partment no harm can come of an
investigation. If there is something
wrong with the department then
good will come of an investigation.
No department of the state support
ed by the tax payers should be i'm
mune from an occasional investiga-
ton.

The Dawson News states that So

general of the PatauIa circuit in next

Hon. Pope Brown opened his cam
paign for governor in Waycross Sat
urday, when he spoke in the court
room to several hundred people.
The speech, the delivery of which
consumed about forty minutes, was
mild and conservative, and was prin-
cipally a review of Mr.. Browns pub
lie services from the time he was
road overseer until his retirement
from the office of state treasurer.
Mr.. Brown is one of Georgia's solid
and substantial citizens, and there
are many who will be glad to honor
him with their votes,

The anti-lobby bill by Senator
Harris of the Thirty-eighth has been
passed in the senate by practically
unanimous vote. The bill requires
that every attorney or agent for any
special interest appearing before leg

with the Secretary of State his own
name and the name of the firm or
corporation represented, and that
he shall file an itemized account of
his expenditures. If they felt that
they needed it we are glad the legis-

The measure to give the governor
the power to appoint the supreme
and superior court judges should
meet with quick death. It would be
the means of building up the most
powerful political machine Georgia
has ever known, Much more prefer
able is the pending bill to divide the
state into judicial districts and ro-
tate the judges. Such a system would
make better judges and eliminate
some of the Objectionable features
of their election by popular vote.

TOO FREE WITH THEIR GUNS.

At the state prison farm recently
a white man who was trying to es-
cape was shot in the back and in
stantly killed by a guard, and in the
past few days convicts have also been
shot and killed at the Fulton and
Sumter county camps, the fatal bull
lets being fired while the victims
were running. There is perhaps
more brutality and inhumanity in
dealing with convicts than in any

DISEASES FOR WHICH Fitch's Ideal Dandruff
 Remover
IS AN INVALUABLE REMEDY

First-Dandruff which may be re- moved by first application. It will dissolve it, or convert it into an oil, making it possible to wash out of the hair. A dandruff remedy that will NOT DISSOLVE the dandruff but simply vets it down, making it ad- here that much more closely, is posi- lively an injury to the scalp, as it will close up the pores or hair cells. Fitch's Ideal Dandruff Remover will positively remove every particle of dandruff by first application, and if used every two weeks after scalp is well, will keep scalp in perfectly healthy condition.
 Second-For any eruption of the skin, itching scalp eczema, sunburn, chapped hands, etc. To obtain best results, apply remover freely, rub thoroughly, then wash with warm soft water, using a good shampoo soap. We recommend Fitchs Ideal Shampoo Soap for this purpose as it works in perfect harmony with the Danruff Remover. Dry and apply the second time.
 Mothers find Fitch's Ideal Dandruff Remover the article for which they have been wishing to remove that yellow scum from the little ones head. Do not allow 1t to remain and thus retard the growth of the hair, as it cannot attain its natural beau ty and perfection under a greasy for nation of dandruff.
 Do not be afraid to ask anyone who has ever used our remedy.
 Price per bottle soc, $1.00 and $200.
