Editor News, Dawson, Ga.-Dear
Sir: The question coming in closest
touch with the interest of your read
ers at the approaching primary on
Aug. 21st is, Whom should we elect
to succeed Col. ]. A. Laing as Solic-
itor-General of the Pataula circuit!
By this election the voters, the
people themselves, are employing for
a term of years an attorney for the
state, who will, if he discharges his
duty, safeguard the people of the
circuit, bring crime to it's just pun
ishment, enforce laws which have
been enacted, but who is wholly IN
able to change existing laws or pass
new ones.
Two candidates are before the
people, viz: Col. Billie B. Bush OF
Miller and Col. B. T. CastelloW OF
Randolph.
Judged by the record of each as a
lawyer every voter in the circuit Is
justified in casting his ballot tor
Judge B. T. Castellow, because he is
a good old-fashioned democrat and
believes in true democracy. When
living in Fort Gaines some ten years
ago and Alabama put her states at
torneys on a salary basis he approved
it and said it was a good law. He
favors a similar law for Georgia,
and didn't wait until he became a
candidate to declare it.
1t seems that Col. Billie B. BUSH
,now advocates putting solicitors on
"a salary basis; but when his father,
:. c. Bush, was a member of the
legislature he did not advocate such
Alaw; nor did ''Billie B." influence
I'm or other members of the BUSH
fnily, to-wit: Jim Bush, l. A. Bush
OF. Smiley Bush, who have been in
TN legislature or senate for num-
DeOf years, to advocate such law.
Then almost unanimous request

and eognized his ability.

Hon. B. T. CastelIow for Solicitor
General of the Pataula Circuit

ties of this responsible office are well
known to De great and involve the
rights and equities of many classes
of our citizens.
That your readers may know
something of the man we will elect
as our next Solicitor-G"neral permit
me to give some facts; Judge Cas-
fellow was born in Quitman county,
Georgia. His father died when he
was thirteen, and his mother taught
school for thirteen years to support
her children. He also became a
teacher and taught two terms; read
law and was admitted to practice
law in June, 1897. He was appoint
ed Solicitor of the County Court OF
Clay county, and was afterwards ap-
pointed judge of the same court.
While residing in Clay county he was
elected captain of the Fort Gaines
Guards. one of the oldest military or
CARNATIONS in Georgia; and search
ing carefully we find that then, as
now, these positions demonstrated
his fidelity to every duty and his
ability to discharge each duty well;
Beginning a mere boy, unaided ex-
cept by the admonition, prayers and
labor of a widowed mother, from
whose shoulders he soon lifted the
responsibility of providing a living
for herself and family, he has achieV-
ed success that commands the re-
spect of all who know him. Uniting
with the church in his boyhood his
exemplary life as christian and
citizen commends him to the fellow
ship of every other good citizen.
Now, if his brother lawyers could
unanimously endorse his ability as
lawyer and ask Judge Newman to
appoint him Judge of the Bankrupt
salary? Let US see. AS Referee in
vice of the people of the Pataula cir
cult by electing him to succeed Joe
Laing? Randolph county will give
her favorite son, Bryant Castellow,
big majority, and we ask Terrell
county and the other counties to help
us make it practically unanimous.
Sincerely, JOHN ID. GUM.

Have you stopped to consider what

perchance none of our children, will

us except the limited amount needed
to pay a few local employees beyond
the amount needed occasionally for
repairs or rebuilding. On the other

not allow yourselves to be blinded

These things are surrounded by va

to the statement that some special
contract has been given to the city
council, for no contract is binding
on the city of Dawson which is not
| incorporated in any franchise for
| which you are asked to cast your
vote, nor can any council delegate to
future council an addendum to a

that by your vote you are affecting
your posterity, that Dawson and Its
every interest is growing and be-
coming more important to every bus
| ness enterprise in the town as the
years go by. That therefore prop
erty so important as is telephone
franchise should be surrounded by
such restrictions as will not only
limit it's tenure to a reasonable time,
but will bring to the town additional
revenue as the interest of the COM
pany owning such franchise increas-
es. We ask every citizen of Dawson
to stop and ponder well what vote
for the franchise tax Wednesday will
mean. Be sure to cast you vote next

On the morning of August 5th the
Angel of Death came and called for
dear little Jennie. 1t was hard to
give Der up, but we must realize
that our heavenly Father had some
great purpose in taking her from
this sinful world, and live the very
best we can and meet her some day
where there will be no more sad
goodbyes. Heaven grows rich as the
earthland grows poor.
Yes, twill be a happy meeting
When we meet to part no more
With our friends and loved ones
On that bright eternal shore.
Dear parents and brothers, don't
weep for her. She is only sleeping.
Jennie was dear, sweet girl, and
every one that knew her loved her.
We will miss that sweet face as we
mingle with the others. She was al
ways kind and good. Now as we
go in that home there will be no
little girl with that sweet smile to
greet us But listen. We have all
got to do the same thing that pre-
cious little Jennie did Monday. and
we hope to meet her in that land
beyond the skies.
She has gone, our precious darling,
From this land of toll and care,
And is resting with the angels
In that land so bright and fair.

Huge as the Californian seuuoias
are their size is scarcely so wonder
full as their age. A tree that has
lived 500 years is still in it's early
youth; one that has rounded out a
thousand summers and winters is
only in full maturity, and old age,
the three score years and ten of the
sequoias, does not come for II or IS
centuries. How old the Oldest trees
may be is not yet certain, but a
count of rings shows that 40 are
over 1000 years old, three over
5000 and one has reached the re-
spectacle age of 1850.
In the days of the Trojan war and
OF the exodus of the Hebrews from
Egypt this oldest tree was a sturdy

the trees had lost the hard, sharp
lines of youth, and were thoroughly
mature. The lower branches had
disappeared up to hight of a hun

were disclosed as bare, reddish col
umns covered with soft bark six
inches or a foot in thickness; the
upper branches had acquired
slightly dropping aspect; and the
spiny foliage, far removed from the
ground, had assumed a graceful,
rounded appearance. Then for cent
uries, through the days of Rome,
the Dark Ages, and all the period
