TO CITIZENS OF DAWSON
A STATEMENT ABOUT THE COUN-
TY SCHOOL FAIR NEXT WEEK.
Ladies of the Library Who Have I'm
dertaken the Enterprise Have
Assumed $500 Expenses.

The committee having charge OF
the County School Fair Nov. Sth and
9th beg to call the attention of the
citizens of Dawson to the following:
They have taken the responsibility
of the entire expense on their own
shoulders. These expenses will run
up to about $500. They will issue
to the county pupils and teachers for
the opening day of the fair over
/ 900 complimentary tickets. This
will of course materially cut OFF the
gate receipts.
This fair is being promoted by the
library association, and if it does not
pay out, as it very likely will not,
the association will have to draw on
funds now loaned out and drawing
interest as a nucleus for their build
ing fund. The association knew this
in the beginning and are by no means
growing weakened as the time
draws near; they are only doing this
to give any one an opportunity to
make a small contribution II they
wish and prevent this fund being
drawn on.
If you wish to make a contrlbu-
ton please send in your name and
the amount to the editor of The Daw-
son News, and he will take pleasure
in publishing the same next week.
ANY contributions, whether large or
small, will be appreciated.
The amounts already donated are
as follows: F. E. Land, $40; j. w. f..
Lowrey, $40; w. C. T. u, So; E. T.
Jordan, IS; Mr.. and Mrs. Tony Lave
ly, free use of opera house for day
exercises. These were all voluntary.
Respectfully,
DAWSON LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.

TAKES ISSUE WITH COURT.
SAYS DEPUTY WARDENS ENTI-

Noting That Some Dissatisfaction EX-
lists in Terrell County Game War
den Mercer Writes Card.

OGn Mercer VI TUGS "a
DEPARTMENT OF GAME AND
FISH, Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 81, 1912
Editor Dawson News: notice in
the columns of recent issue of The
News an article headed, Game War
dens Resign in which it is stated:
1T is understood that they are dis
satisfied with their compensation un-
der the amenued game law, which
does not provide that they shall e.
ceiye any part of the fines upon those
who are convicted of hunting pos
sums out of season" The amended
game law does provide, pointedly,
that wardens and deputy wardens
shall receive a share of the fines i'm
posed for violations OF any of the
game and fish laws of this state.
1t was the purpose of the original
law to make such provision, but be-
cause of the fact that certain judges
held that it did not the last session
of the legislature made the language
as plain as it could be expressed in
English.
Most of the wardens and deputy
wardens are unselfish and primarily
care but little for the fines-compen-
sation provided under the law-but
when they are deprived of what APP
pears to be a rightful participation in
the fine money, particularly when
they see the money divided by 9TH
err court officers, it naturally arouses
feeling of resentment, and always
causes more or less annoyance in this
office.
The courts of the state as rule
have given this department great en-
couragement and assistance, but in
two or three instances they have
greatly demoralized the warden
forces in several counties. Grand
juries and often trial juries and court
officers are easily Influenced by the
Judge of the court, and thus they
have it in their power to encourage
the officers of this department and
the citizens of the several counties
in UNFOLDING the law for the protec-
ton of game and fish and the rights
of the land owners; on the other
hand, they can easily demoralize the
representatives of this department in
any county and make it almost i'm
possible to procure convictions or Sc
cure respect for the law.
IN Terrell county the organized
sportsmen have given this depart
ment valuable assistance, and l de-
pend on them more than any other
agency in holding up the hands of
Warden Hill and his deputies. Sin
cerely, j. Il. MERCER.

EVERY WORD FALSE.

The Evening Post, which has ever
gone out of It's way to misrepresent
the Kentucky Irish American, has
again broke loose. Last Thursday
that untruthful sheet made the fol-
lowing editorial comment:
1.-THE people of this community
have been misled by the assumption
Of the Irish American, a political
journalistic ignoramus, to speak at
one and the same time for the
Roman Catholic church and the
Louisville saloons. The Irish
American has been more papal than
the Pope, and more eager in defense
Of the lawless saloons than any
liquor association"
without quoting a word or SEN
tencc. from our columns to bear out
its baseless charge, the Post then
refers to Father Phelan and the
Western Waterman, who are, like
he Kentucky Irish American, for
rperance but against prohibition.
Pitor Knott must come again. We
hallenge him to make good in any
Vway his rawlings, which would per-
haps cease were the Post to receive

without any real justification the
English are vehement in protest
against the suggestion that the Pan
anna canal tolls collected from
American shipping be returned. The
United States Government will
endeavor to work out the canal
problems fairly and honestly in ac-
cordance with treaty obligations.
Diplomacy thus far has gained us
no advantages in this great under
taking, and certainly it would be an
act of childish good faith to yield to
any unreasonable demand which
may be made by nations whose con-
nection with the canal is purely that
OF beneficiary. II other nations
rebate to their own shipping the
tolls which the American Govern
ment collects, It would only put
another embargo on American yes
sells to make them bear this expense
from which the ships under other
nags are free. Russia and Germany
may rebate and Great Britain may
not. Great Britain probably would
continue its furious protest II the
United States followed the course
which might be pursued by Germany
and Russia. One thing is certain.
the United States is not called upon
to bear the expense of the canal and
then place its shipping at disad-
vantage in competition with that OF
other nations.

WARNING.

The Socialists of the First Indiana
Congressional district held their
convention at Evansville last Sunday
and nominated candidates for Con-
gresr and the Legislature. Among
the resolutions adopted was one de-
claring for the abolition of the

should turn every citizen against
Socialism, which aims at the destruc-
