Although the rural school is the
target of criticism and the object OF
reform movements it is not without
its defenders. The secretary of the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion at Chicago says that of the many
candidates who come before the
board those from the country schools
are successful in much larger pro-
norton than those from the city
schools.
Many deplore the wrongs which
they know exist, but consider them
selves free from all responsibility
in the matter. This cannot be. EV-

of temperance fail to do their whole
duty unless they exert their intiu-

God will work a miracle to bring
about this reform and thus remove

my fifteen years of blind expert
ence FRANK FIELDS. -
In the meantime Mr.. Nichols had
retired from the hotel business, and
said he at once put the telegram
down as a prank of one of his drum
mer friends, who had been kidding
him ever since he gave up the hotel.
But last week he had occasion to
go to Birmingham, and at the Jeffer-
son hotel was informed that Mr..
Fields, the old blind gentleman, had
stopped there and remarked several
times how much he thought of Mr..
Nichols of Lineville. He went so far
as to show a certified check for $685.
600, and said he would leave all of
his property to his young friend if
he would allow him to make his
home with the family at Lineville,
where he could spend the rest of his
days, as he was tired of travelling.
He then said Mr.. Nichols had treated
him better than anyone he had ever
met. Mr.. Fields at that time regis
tered from Atlanta.
Mr.. Nichols says he wants to find
the old gentleman, and if he hasn't
a cent would be glad for him to make
his home with them just the same.
He says his wife and baby girl were
both fond of Mr.. Fields, and that the
latter took a great fancy to the little
girl, and though blind could describe
her looks even. The old gentleman
is very cultured, according to Mr..
Nichols, and is a fine musician.

Old Blind Man Who Was Recently in
Dawson Is Being Sought for by
Alabama Hotel Keeper.

The following article in reference
to an old blind man who was IN
Dawson several weeks ago selling the
'"BIue Back Speller' on the streets
is of local interest, and is taken from
the Atlanta Journal:
Informed that an old blind gentle
man, reputed to be worth 500, 900,
wanted to leave him his fortune
Frank J. Nichols of Lineville, Ala,
came to Atlanta Friday and sought
the aid of Chief Beavers in locating
the man, whose name is Frank
Fields. Fields is totally blind and
very deaf, and has peddled the Blue
Back Speller" over the country for
years, so Mr.. Nichols informed the
chief.
1t was last November that young
Mr.. Nichols, then in the hotel bus
mess, met Mr.. Fields, who stopped
at his hotel in Lineville for several
days. During that time an attach
ment sprang up between the two, and
when the old man started to leave
Mr.. Nichols refused to take anything
for board, but the old gentleman in
sisted, saying that he was not pau
per. Mr.. Nichols apologized to him,
and explained to him that as he was

COMMITTEE PUT UP BARS.
RESOLUTION THAT WILL ELM.
MATE BOILERS IN GEORGIA.
Men Who Bolt Wilson Will Be Barred
From Further Affiliation With
Democratic Party.
Democratic Party.

A warning to all 'bolters" from
the ranks of democracy at this years
presidential polls is contained in a
resolution adopted by the state dem
ocraic executive committee Thursday
afternoon.
No man who votes against Wood
row Wilson and Thomas R. Marshall,
nominees for president and vice-pres-
ident respectively this year, shall be
permitted to cast ballot in the state
democratic primary two years hence.
In short, the resolution puts the
state on notice that if the vote of any
man is challenged at the state polls
two years from now because he voted
for some other than the national
democratic ticket in 1912, and the
charge is sustained, the democratic
authorities of the state will uphold
the challenge and shut that man
out from the democratic elections for
the officers of the state.
Judge Longley of LAGRANGE, who
introduced it, explained that the res
!
olution was an implicit welcome to
all voters who would cast their bal
lots for the democratic nominees in
November, regardless of their past
party Affiliations. Here is the text
of the resolution:
Resolved, by the state executive
committee of Georgia, that in the APP
preaching presidential election all
qualified electors casting their bal
lots for the democratic nominees for
president and vice-president of the
United States shall be entitled to
participate in the democratic primary
two years hence, unless by their pub
lie declarations they have ceased to
be democrats"

A FAMINE IN PERFUME.
The Essence of Violets Will Cost

The Essence of ViOlets Will Cost
$4,000 a KilOgram.
The essence of Oriental roses will
be the perfume most in vogue next
winter, the announcement having
been made that, owning to the ex-
ceptional good season, its average
price this year will be only $500 a
kilogram 1.-TWO pounds three ounces) g.
On the other hand, the phenome-
nally cold winter and wet summer in
Europe, with the absence of any
sunshine, will, it is also stated, make
other scents so dear as to be out OF
reach of all but millionaires.
The pure essence of violet will not
be obtainable for less than 100000
kilogram, while mignonette per-
fume, which has been very much in
fashion in Paris, will come second
at the price of $4,000 for the same
quantity.
In consequence of this scent fam
inc there is expected to be an enor-
nous increase in the sale of artificial
perfumes extracted from coal, and a
huge demand will, it is believed,
probably cause important improve
ments in this industry.

MANY a Sufferer in Dawson.
No woman should consider herself
healthy and we'll if the kidneys are
weak. Poisons that pass off in the
secretions when the kidneys are well
are retained in the body when the
kidneys are disordered. If the kid
news and bladder become inflamed
and swollen worse troubles may very
quickly follow. This is often the
cause of bearing down palms, lame
ness, backache, etc. Uric poisoning
is also frequent cause of headaches,
dizzy spells, languor, nervousness
and rheumatic pains.
When suffering so try DOan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that has proven
effective in thousands of such cases.
Let a Dawson woman tell of her eX-
ps! Mrg' W. A. Marshall, $50 College

upon his memorable voyage around
the world
Reaching the Barbary coasts and
Cape Verde. he crossed the Atlantic
TO Brazil, thence to the Straits of
Magellan. through which ne entered
the Pacific. sailing along the coasts
of South and North America as far
as the present British Columbia.
From that point he crossed the Pa
cidc by way of the Moluccas and
Java, doubled Cape of Good Hope,
passed along the western coast of
Africa. and thence to Plymouth,
which port he reached on the third
OF November. 1850, having been on
bis voyage two years and ten
months.
It was the first time that an Eng

fact, queen Elizabeth gave direc-

Golden Hind. that it might ever re-

A wonderful man was Sir Francis

sailor, it was he. At sixteen he had
passed his apprenticeship on ID

man of recognized importance. and
at twenty lone he was a captain.
While still a very young man. he
got, from the top of a tall tree on
the lsthmus of Panama. his first
glimpse of the great Pacific ocean.
and it was right then and there
that he took solemn oath to him
self that, God helping him, he
would sail an English ship in those
seas"
