ALDERMAN HAS
NARROW
Charles P. Cole and Two
Others Out in SqualI

Alderman Charles P. Cole, of
Prince Bay, Harry Bedell and Cap
tain William w. LaForge, of Pleas
ant Plains, are today relating the
narrow escape they had from drown
ing when they were caught out in
the squall in Prince Bay Wednesday
afternoon. All three had been on a
fishing expedition during the day
trolling for bluefish in Captain La
FORCES twenty-five-foot gasolene
launch, the Ok. All went well until
the return home, when the squall
overlook them. The wind was blow
ing a gale and heavy seas were run
ming. The launch was making good
Roadway when all of a sudden there
was a bump which seemed to raise
the craft almost out of the water.
At the same time water began to
pour into the boat from a hole in
the bottom which Is believed to have
been made by a broken oyster stake
that had p%unctured the hull. Within
a short time all three were standing
In water knee deep. They began
bailing but as fast as the water was
bafled out it ran in again. The
water put h engine out of commits
sion and the men were helpless in
the squall. The flooring of the boat
was torn up and a pair of overalls
and a shirt were used to try and
stop the leak, but without avail. The
boat was drifting in the south chan
mel when a launch hat put off from
Charles Werner's at Prince Bay
beach brought the three men ashore.
Although there were life preserv-
ers on the launch all three thought
that they would never reach shore
again. All the ballast and every
thing in the launch was thrown over
board in an effort to keep afoat I'M
til help came. The boat was lowed
ashore and put on the beach at
Prince Bay, where it was hauled out
yesterday.

HAVE A PLAN.


If you were to sit down and lay
out a well-deined plan of action for
each days work, with the ultimate
goal of success before you, what
would you include in it? You would
have a course of education in the
plan would you not? And then you
would specify that certain hours
should be given to it each day. If
your goal vas to be a first class busi-
ness man you would try to hit the
bulls eye by taking a thorough
course in business training.
If you are a young lady wishing
to become independent, earn a good
living, and be on the high road to
advancement, you would be sure of
1t by becoming a skilled stenogra-
pher or bookkeeper.

QUILL QUESTIONS
(By Cobb Randy.O

The great question with us should
be not so much whether our neigh
boris religion is contraband as
whether we ourselves have one that
will stand the test. Would you re-
fuse to give your soul a chance sim
ply because some other fellow was
abusing his opportunities?
Somewhere in this universe is a
chord that you alone can touch. Miss
it and the eternal melody will lack
that one note necessary to bring your
life into the divine harmony, and the
Great Musician will nave no discords.
What is this chord? The fingers of
love, and they only may bring it out.
One has said, And though | have
all faith, so that l could remove
mountains, and have not charity
am nothing"

ACTED PROMPTLY.

President Taft sent a message to
congress Wednesday asking that
100000 be appropriated for
Strengthening levees and building
new bikes in the flood districts along
the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio
rivers, and within fifteen minutes af-
ter it was read in the house that
body passed a bill making $3.50, 200
available for that purpose. The bill
was rushed over to the senate, where
it also was passed, and was sent to
the president FOR his signature.
The president sent his message of
appeal to congress after Senators
Foster and Thornton and virtually
the entire Louisiana delegation in
the house had called upon him and
pictured the destruction being work
ed by the foods
The president and congress are to
to be commended for the promptness
with which they went to the aid of
and suffering people whose
life and property are in jeopardy.

CRYING FOR PIE.

From the Moultrie Observer.
An Atlanta correspondent is send
ing out to Wilson papers in the state
a story that tells only half of the
whole truth.
This article declares that the big
stir for Underwood in Georgia is
largely an effort on the part of Clark
Howell, editor of the Constitution, to
save his place as national democratic
committeeman for Georgia
But the article might have stated
with equal force and perhaps correct
ness that the Journals espousal of
Wilson is imbedded in desire on
the part of Editor James R. Gray to
land the national committeeman
job for himself. His ambition for
that honor is we'll known, so the ar
ticle held up only one side of the
shield
1t only illustrates how politics is
run in Georgia. The little newspa-
per or local politician that follows
the hysterical lead of these self-seek-
ers deserves sympathy and even pity.
The Journal and the Constitution
have the hope of some reward for
their foolish antics, but the imitators
work for nothing and board them
selves.

HON. JOHN r. MERCER.

From the Cordele Sentinel.
This issue of the Sentinel contains
an article published in The Dawson
News that will prove of interest to
the friends of Hon. John r. Mercer,
candidate for congress from the
Third congressional district.
Inc article speaks so plainly for
itself and in behalf of Mr.. Mercer, his
lie, activities and qualifications for
the once that no additional comment
IS attempted here or needed. The
News refers to him as a big-hearted
progressive business man and farm
er who has spent his life helping his
less fortunate fellowbeings over the
rough places and advancing along
material lines his community and
section, and tells of many other
thlngS that speak loudly in his be-
half for the honor he seeks.

OUR FRIEND, THE CANDIDATE.

ute to the county candidate, a de-
lightful gentleman we all know and
who is our best friend:
THE county candidate is now
abroad in the land, and his voice is
heard in the city, the hamlet and on
the farmers front verandah. He
riseth early in the morning, travel
eth far by the light of the sun, and
stitch up late by candle light to
study the voters list. He putteth
great faith in human nature, and
fndeth, when he studyeth the regis
tration book, that he is sure to win.
He planneth for the spending of the
emoluments of Office, and knoweth
that he cannot lose. Credulous man!
1t is well that his temperament is
buoyant, for for he will need a shock
absorber on the evening of election
day"

buy goods a great deal cheaper in
some other town and charge him

A NEW NEGRO TYPE.
Interesting Fact Revealed by Last
United States Census.

The United States census of 1910
reveals an interesting fact about the
negro. Despite crossings with light
er races the Southern negro is grow
ing darker. Negroes were formerly
classified as octorOons, quadroons,
mulattoes and blacks. Those dis
tinctions have given place to a ho-
mogeneous type which is not pure
negro, yet is not lighter in color than
the negro of unmixed blood. The
characteristic of the new type is an
accentuation of the color of the skin.
The negro of Louisiana, notably of
New Orleans, is darker than were
his ancestors. The type is of softer
and more velvety black than the
Congolese; and the peculiar softness
OF color is accompanied by features
OF less prominent African type,
while the hair is less wool-like.
1t is not easy to account for all
the peculiarities of this latest type.
They may be due in part to a change
in the conditions of life and in part
to the weakening of racial qualities.
In general the American negro is less
strong than the primitive negro and
ne has less endurance than the negro
slave. Patterson, a student of eth
nology, thinks that there is not one
negro OF pure blood in North Amer
lea, that the negroes are not real
negroes, and that all the negroes
have been subjected 20 alterations.
Since their emancipation negroes
have married according to their ca
prices. Under the rule of the cotton
planter no deteriorating marriage was
permitted; the end in view was to
improve the race and to produce
strong and healthy slaves. All other
considerations set aside, the race was
more vigorous physically so years
ago than it is Harper's
Weekly.

is no room for them in Dawson.
The civic improvement club and

crate in efforts to get rid of these
old structures.

Smile.

Remember twas the sunshine
Dried the walk beneath your feet;
And again it is the sunshine
That makes the roses sweet.
You may frown upon the devil,
Countercheck his every vile;
But the thing that draws the sinner
Is the heaven of your smile.
The road to wealth does not lead
to happiness nor yet to contentment.
The most disconnected mortal of all
is he whose wealth can buy him all
things but that which he most de-
sires-peace.
If Dives could have foreseen the
election returns of one Lazarus he
might have given that worthy his un-
stinted support in this world. Many
a man will miss his heavenly ap-
pointment through having favored
the wrong party before the polls.
