A VALUABLE BOOKLET.

The Central of Georgia Railway
Company has issued a handsome
booklet, entitled Alabama and
Georgia" for the purpose of showing
the possibilities of the soil in the two
states. There are seventy-two pages
of beautifully tinted and colored IL
Illustrations and valuable reading
matter givin the experience of many
persons who have succeeded in gath
ering remarkable yields of the vari-
Gus crops. Splendidly executed
autographs show the corn, wheat
and cotton fields of Georgia, the
Georgia watermelons, cantaloupes,
peach and apple orchards, pecan
trees. the truck farms, cattle and
other live stock, and in fact all
the varied industries that Geor-
gia's generous soil and kindly eli
mate offer to homeseekers. Among
the many interesting features is a
photograph of Mr.. B. NJ. Davidson's
two-mule team with its load of
twelve bales of cotton hauled over
five miles of Terrell county's good
roads to the Dawson market.
The wide distribution in the West
and East of the little booklet would
do much toward the bringing of set
.Iers to this section. A large number
of the edition were distributed at
the recent Land Show at Chicago.
The Central railroad is doing val
liable work in promoting the indus
trial and agricultural interests along
its lines, and good results are al
ready apparent.

PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCEMENT.

Before The News is issued again
the Christmas holidays will have
come and gone and we take this OPP
portunity to extend to our readers,
and everybody else, the compliments
of the season and wish for them a
sane and happy yuletide.
The year now closing has been a
fairly satisfactory one for The News,
and as an evidence of apprecia-
ton of the good will and loyal sup
port of our home people we will
early in January change the paper
to a semi-weekIy and issue two edi-
tons a week. We shall continue to
put forth in each and every issue an
earnest effort to secure good results
to print a paper that will not only
interest and serve it's readers, but
be creditable and helpful to Dawson
and Terrell county. The News chief
is always to promote the
prestige and best interests of it's
home town and section.

DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND.

In one remarkable particular the
Mcnamara brothers, now confined
in the California state prison, differ
from most confessed criminals.
They pleaded guilty and accepted
Imprisonment, one for life and the
other for fifteen years, for two rea-
sons-frst, because it seemed the
surest means of escaping the hang
mans halter, and, second, because
such an ending of the proceedings
seemed to them most likely to put a
quietus on the whole matter and
insure the safety of some of their
intimates. But neither of them
seem at any time to have expert
enced remorse or shame or sense of
guilt. They pleaded guilty to having
broken the law-not to having done
any moral wrong. Apparently to
them the hideous crimes which they
committed were merely unpleasant
but necessary incidents of a justifia-
BILE war for certain cause; they
performed desperate eds, took des-
perate chances and, having lost, are
prepared uncomplainingly to accept
the consequences.
1t is difficult to comprehend the
mental attitude of such men.

The Red Cross Seal

Few people have any conception
Of the magnitude of the Red Cross
Christmas seal campaign. The fol-
lowing figures will show what a gil
gantic movement this is Already
So, 100000 seals have been printed,
and practically that entire number
distributed to agents. Probably 49,
100000 more will be needed. Ad-
vertising circulars, posters, cards,
ETC., to the number of several mil
lion have also been distributed. It
is estimated that the army of paid
and volunteer workers engaged in
selling the seals will number over
100000. The advertising and pub
licity donated to the campaign will
amount to several hundred thousand
dollars. Every effort is being put
forth to sell 0O,000,00O seals, or
about one for every man, woman
and child in the United States.

We take pleasure in answering at
once and thus prominently the com
munication below, expressing at the
same time our qualification that it's
faithful author is numbered among
the friends of The Sun:
Dear Editor: l am eight years
old. Some of my little friends say
their is not a Santa Claus. Papa
says if you see it in the Sun it's
so. Please tell me the truth, is
there a Santa Claus? Your little
reader, VIRGINIA O'HANLON."
Virginia, your little friends are
wrong. They have been affected by
the skepticism of a skeptical age.
They do not believe except they see.
They think that nothing can be
which is not comprehensive by their
minds. All minds, Virginia, wheth-
er they be mems or children's, are
little. In this great universe of ours
man is a mere insect, an ant in his
intellect as compared with the
boundless world about him, as meas
ured by the intelligence capable OF
grasping the whole of truth and
knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist
and you know that they abound and
give to your life it's highest beauty
and joy. Alas! How dreary would
be the world if there were no Santa
Claus! 1t would be as dreary az
| if there we're no Virginias. There
would be no child-like faith then, NJ

What Red Cross Seals Do.

Every seal that is sold is a real
bullet in the fight against tubercu-
lOsis. These seals last year helped
to support thousands of needy tu-
berculosis patients and to give them
chance for life. They provided for
many visiting nurses, whose hun
dreds of thousands of visits brought
instruction and cheer to numerous
patients. They helped maintain dis
pensaries in dozens of cities from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, where
many thousands of consumptive pa
tients received treatment, aid and
advice. They provided the means
to purchase millions of copies of
circulars, pamphlets and other lit
erature with which the public has
been educated about tuberculosis.
They have established and helped to
maintain more than 40 open air
schools for the children who needed
open air treatment. These are just
few of the ways in which the $780,
600 received last year was expended.
This year a million dollars is needed.
Surely any one can help by buying
at least ten seals.

BACON FOR PRESIDENT.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, in a re.
view of men eligible to the dem
ocratic nomination for president
says of Hon. A. o. Bacon, Georgia s
able and distinguished senior United
States senator, who is recognized ev-
erywheTe as one of the country S
foremost statesmen:
Not in the hour of it's maxi
mum power and partisan pride
has the democratic party possess
ed ADLER leaders and stronger
statesmen than it today can count
in it's ranks-leaders possessed of
the Jeffersonian qualifications,
honest and capable and at the
same time popular with and well
known to the electors of the coun-
try. What of Georgias hOnored
son, Augustus o. Bacon, whose Ie-
gal attainmentS, whose high sense
Of duty and sturdy insistence upon
abiding within the powers of the
constitution would make him an
ideal president? In Senator Ba-
con the party would have a candi-
date progressive as we'll as safe
and conservative.
That Senator Bacon is in every
way equipped for the office of pres
ident the people of Georgia have
long known.

THE RAIN.

It appears that the recent season
of rainfall was general over this sec
ton. and the people are grateful for
the moisture. 1t has been several
wears since the ground in Southwest
Georgia was so thoroughly stored
with moisture as it should be, and
there are hopes that the wetting will
come this winter, for it is the win
ter rains that must form the basis
for the crops of the coming year
Therefore, let us be grateful for the
recent rain, and hope that in due
time there will be more and enough.
We are not likely to get too much.

IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS?
From the New York Sun.

no enjoyment, except in sense and
sight. The eternal light with which
childhood fills the world would be
extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You
might as well not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire
men to watch in all the chimneys on
Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus
but even if they did not see Santa
Claus coming down what would that
prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus,
but that is no sign that there is no
Santa Claus. The most real things
in the world are those that neither
children nor men can see. Did you
ever see fairies dancing on the lawn?
OF course not, but that's no proof
that they are not there. Nobody can
conceive or imagine all the wonders
there are unseen and unseeable in
the world.
You may tear apart the baby's
rattle and see what makes the noise
inside, but there is a veil covering
the unseen world which not the
strongest man, nor even the united
strength of all the strongest men
that ever lived, could tear apart.
Only faith, fancy, poetry, love. ro-
nance can push aside that curtain
and view and picture the supernal
! beauty and glory beyond. Is it all
real? All, Virginia, in all this world
there is nothing else real and abid-
| ing.
No Santa Claus! Thank Cod He
| lives and He lives forever. A thous-
and years from now, Virginia-nay,
ten times ten thousand years from
now-He will continue to make glad
the heart of childhood.

National Chairman Norman Mack
predicts that the democrats will win
the presidency next year. They
should be careful, however, to nom
mate as the party candidate man
who would have some chance to car
ry the doubtful states of Ohio and

nominate any man for the standard
bearer just because he lives in a
strong republican state that happen

Where Red Cross Seals Are Sold

With the exception of Florida,
Louisiana, Oklahoma, Idaho, Utah
and Nevada Red Cross seals are on
sale in one or more cities of every
state in the union, and also in Porto
Rico and the canal zone. In most
of the states the sale has been or
ganized in every city, village and
hamlet. Every conceivable method
of conveyance is being employed in
shipping the seals from the various
state headquarters to local agents,
from the OK team in Alabama and
Mississippi and the pack burro in
Colorado to the express train and
the\autOmobile in New York. These
holiday seals are even being sold in
mountain hamlets, where the snow
will prevent the receipt of returns
for months after the first of the
year.

recent state primary the Triton Ga
zettte says;
Another thing the primary
seems to have settled is the
old cry by Mr.. Browns enemies
that he was the candidate of the
railroads and whiskey men. With
few exceptions every county that
gave him plurality is a prohibit
ton county, while of the big six
three of the four most notorious
ly wet went for Russell and the
fourth for Pope. Macon and Co.
lumbus are said to be the dryest
of the larger cities in the state,
and both of their counties went
for Joe. In Ware county the vote
is largely composed of railroad
men, and it went for Pope by a
heavy majority.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that while the prohibition
candidate carried the big county OF
Fulton, which fairly sloshes in red
liquor and real beer, the local op-
ton candidate carried Floyd, the
home of Seab Wright, and Dodge
the home of Mrs. Mary Armor.

THE POSTOFFICE.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has
been subjected to criticism because
of his efforts to have a certain class
of publications pay a higher rate of
postage, but, nevertheless, he APP
pears to have been a great success in
the office. Before he took charge Of
the postofice department it was run
ming behind about $17,000,000 an
nually. His annual report for the
last fiscal year shows profit Of
nearly a quarter of million dollars.
Not before in twenty-eight years has
the department shown surplus.
Mr.. Hitchcock has not brought
about this splendid change through
Ieseening or in any way impairing
the service. On the contrary 3,744
new postoffices have been establish
ed, 1856 additional cities have been
given carrier service, 2,516 new ru-
raj free delivery routes have been
put into operation and the pay of
the employees has been measurably
increased. He says that one-cent
postage for letters is coming in the
near future.
