NOU Understands Why Terrell Has
PrOSpered and Land Values Increased

Editor of The Dawson News:
Some of the reasons for the phenom-
email rise in Terrell countys land val
ues we're seen on yesterday evening
in a short ride over part of your coun-
ty. First, rural free delivery; Sec
ond, deep blowing and thorough Gull
tiVation, which have enabled thin land
of the pebbly character to assimilate
and use heavy commercial manuring;
third, preparation for meat products,
such as cattle and hogs, by fencing
with mesh wire so that after gather
ing the crop the cattle and hogs can
gather the remains, and nothing is
lost; fourth, first-class graded stock
of all kinds, and last, but by no
means least, the building of substan-
tial and beautiful country homes and
their occupancy by a fine grade of
white citizenry, who, to easily Access
sible mails, have added telephone
systems that put neighbOrS in touch
one with another and safeguard the
women and children while the men
are away from home in the fields,
for a tramp seeing a telephone in a
house knows that before he can ac-
cOmplish his diabOlical scheme the
ring Of the telephone will bring as
sistance. With her present lick Ter
rell's country homes will be more de-

sirable than her city residences,
for good class of intelligent yeo-
manry means neighborhood churches
and graded schools equal to those
to be found in the towns. What
Terrell needs is what Randolph and
every other good county with large
areas need: an academy in every
town of BrOnwoOd's and Shellman S
size to which the highest grades of
the country schools would be admit
ted by certificate, and sub-college
or preparatory school in their county
sites to which certificates from the
academies would admit, and these
pupils in turn by certificate going to
the sophomore in the university and
chronological colleges, and cutting
out of all classes below the sophomore
in those two schools, and thus have
a complete state system of state
schools, which in time would do more
to make us a homogeneous people,
with every part striving to build
and make of our common heritage
(the best on the globe) a thing to
which We could point and say "Geor-
gians in every place do their duty,
and stand by their state and each
other" Yours for a people united
in all that is good, and a common foe
to all that is evil. A. P. RIVES.

HOUSE AND CONTENTS BURNED.
Residence Owned by Dawson Market
and Grocery Co. Destroyed.

A four-rOom residence in the west
ern part of the city that was owned
by the Dawson Market and Grocery
Co, and occupied by Mr. Albert HoI-
ley and family was entirely destroy
ed by fire, together with all the
household furniture and personal eff
fects Of the occupants, Thursday
night about o'clock. About 200
cords of wood that belonged to the
market company were also burned.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
but as it originated underneath the
house and where there had previous
ly been no fire it is supposed to have
been the act of an incendiary.
The market company estimates it's
loss at $700-the building $500 and
wood $200-while Mr.. Holley's loss
is between 5000 and $500. Neither
had any insurance.

BLACKROOT HAS APPEARED.
Is Doing Considerable Damage on
Some of the Farms of the County.

Some of the Farms of the County.
The blackroot, or wilt, has appear
ed on number of farms in different
sections of the county, and there is
much uneasiness lest it does consid-
cradle damage to the cotton crop,
which up to this time has been unus-
ually promising.
The wilt was almost disastrous on
some farms last year, and caused
great loss
Rain is greatly needed in some sec
t1ons, and crops are suffering badly.
Young corn is being literally burned
up, and unless relief comes soon this
crop will be a complete failure in
some places.
Kinchafoonee creek is lower than
ever before known and can be waded
in the deepest places, and other
streams in the county that were new
er known to be dry before now are
nothing but sand beds.
A refreshing rain fell Monday af-
ternoon in and around Dawson three
or four miles.

BONDS ARE BOUGHT At HOME
DAWSON NATIONAL BANK TAKES
RECENTLY AUTHORIZED ISSUE
Its Bid Accepted by the Council Over
Others Submitted From CinCin-
natl, Chicago and Atlanta.

Dawson money buys Dawson bonds
The Dawson National Bank has put
another feather in it's cap by success
fully bidding for the $4,000 worth
of five per cent bonds that were re-
Gently voted for the purpose of en-
Iarging the public school building,
and thus making it unnecessary for
Dawson to depend upon northern
capital to take the bonds and supply
the needed money.
When the council met Thursday
afternoon to open and onsider the
bids there were six from as many
firms in Chicago, Cincin1 LII, Augusta
and Atlanta ranging from SIP, 1854
and free bonds by John w. Dickey &
Co. of Augusta to $12,661 and free
bonds and accrued interest by S. A.
Kean & Co. of Chicago.
The bid Of the Dawson National
Bank, which was accepted, was the
the same as that of Kean & Co. ex-
cept that the bonds will be payable
at the Office of the city treasurer in
Dawson instead of at Chicago, which
will be a considerable saving to the
city in the way of exchange. The
successful bid amounts to about
101 Il net for the bonds.
The sale of these bonds at home
is complimentary to both the city
and the Dawson National Bank, and
all should feel pride in the fact that
home institution takes care of a
home bond issues.

BEER WINS IN FIRST ROUND
ORDER DISMISSED
nv JITDGE WORRILL MONDAY.
Although at Liberty to Resume Bust
ness ProprietOrs of Saloons Are
Keeping the Lid On.

hcGDInS AAAu Ohs
Although the prOprietorS of the
baar saloons have been at liberty to
onan their places since Monday morn
mo their doors remain tightly closed
az voluntary action, and the Daw-
son thirst is still unquenched. And
here has not been the least intima-
lion as to when the suds will foam
and relief afforded the suffering pop
ulace.
The petition for injunction against
the beer dealers, by which it was
sought by certain citizens to prohibit
the further operation of the saloons,
came I'D for hearing before Judge
WOrrill Monday morning. The coun-
col for the defendants moved to dis
miss the proceedings because no pro-
cess was attached to the petition and
mo prayer therein for process. After
hearing arguments on the legal ques-
lions involved in the case Judge Wor-
riU held in effect that the process was
void and passed an order dismissing
his former order temporarily re-
straining the sale of beer. Under the
REGULAR order of court procedure the
petition OF the pIalntlfTS for an in
junction will come up for a hearing
at the May term, 1912, of the supe-
rior court.
Solicitor General j. A. Laing and
Attorney NJ. G. Edwards appeared for
the plaintiffs, and Attorneys H. A.
wilkinson, NJ. j. Yeomans and w. H.
Gurr of Dawson and J. w. Walters of
Albany for the defendants
There are rumOrs of various rea-
sons why the beer dealers have not
opened their places, but they are not
saying anything. 1t seems to be I'M
derstoOd, however, that they will con-
tinue the drouth for sometime yet.
Another rumOr is that should they
open again another restraining order
will be applied for in an effort to
close their places again, and still an
other report is in circulation that
large suits for damages will be
brought by the saloon men against
the parties who had their places
closed.
Further developments in the case
and beer on the part of many
are awaited with much interest by
the public.

Iul In every way, though the last shot
was more in the nature of an ex-

the rock was well broken and is easy
to handle.
