GIRLS DO DAWSON CREDIT
Misses Laing and Miss Bass ACquit
Themselves With Distinction
at Gainesville.

Dawson and Terrell county should
feel great pride in the large number
of young men and women who 60
from here each year to further their
eduation in the various colleges of
this and other states There is doubt
less not a county in the state with
the same population that has larg-
er representation in the higher insti-
buttons of learning. This speaks
well for our system of schools, which
lay the foundation and plant the de-
sire for a higher education.
Among those completing their
courses this year we note with pleas
ure the splendid record made by
Misses Nellie and Phoebe Laing at
Brenau College. Miss Phoebe recent
Iy gave her graduating recital at Bre-
nau, in which she displayed splen-
did mastery of pianOforte music. She
was highly cOmplimented upon the
success of the recital, and has been
given a place in the Brenau College
as accompanist for the coming year.
Miss Phoebe was assisted in her re-
cital by Miss Nellie Laing who has
just completed her course in voice.
The fine record made by Miss Nellie
has given her a place as assistant to
Mrs Simmons.
Miss Hattie Belle Bass, also an
honor graduate of Brenau, who
will be a member of the faculty of
the Yeomans school, was accorded
he honor of being one of the twelve
most popular young women of the
class of 1912.
Dawson feels justly proud of the
enviable record of these young wo-
men whom she claims as her own.

SFVENTY-FIVE ARMED MEN
ENGAGE IN A MAN HUN |

seventy-five men armed and ready to
Join in the man hunt.
The posse was composed of deter
mined men, who scattered in ev-
cry direction and for miles around
secured almost every foot of ground
in the community in which the bru-
tai crime was committed. Every
public highway and private road was
covered and every swamp and piece
of woodland and houses in which it
was thought the negro might be con-
called were searched. No trace Of
Williams or any one who had seen
him could be found however, and
the hunt was given up. 1t was de-
cided that Williams had not been in
the community, and that the reports
that he had been seen were I'M
founded.
There is a reward of $3.50 for the
arrest of Williams, and several ne
groes that were supposed to be him
have been arrested in different parts
of the sta only to be released when
an officer went to bring them to Daw-
son. In each instance it was a case
of mistaken identity.

THlRTY-DAYS REGISTRATION
Blalock Bill Passed Upper House by
Vote of % to IS. fractional
Fight in Senate.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Partisan politics
along strict Smith-Brown lines figur-
ed in the deliberations of the state
senate Monday when a change in the
present registration law, as advocat-
ed by Governor Jos. NJ. Brown, was
adopted as far as the upper house is
concerned by the passage of the Bla-
lock bill by a vote of % to IS.
All attempts on the part of the
Smith adherents to obtain reconsid-
Grafton for the measure failed.
The bill changes the date of the
closing of registration books from
six months prior to the election to a
date thirty days before the election.
Senators Felker and Sheppard OPP
posed the bill.
Senators Dickerson and Crawford,
sure of a majority urged the passage
of the bill.
In discussing the measure today
Governor Brown said that not a sin
gle state in the union had a law
similar to Georgia. The governor
asserted that the six months plan
was absurd, and as a result of it's
provisions thousands of voters in the
rural districts were being disfran-
chised.

itor-G General of Pataula Circuit.
have known Mr. Castellow since
early boyhood. A large portion OF
his common school education was Sc
cured here His very boyhood was
marked with traits of the very high
est moral type. His responsiveness
to dutv was more than noticeable
il was delightful for older people in
terested in the growth and develop
ment of children to observe. l pos
itively never knew an act of his life
that tended towards meanness or
even rudeness. After completing his
education he came back and was
unanimously elected principal of our
school, which position he held until
he resigned to take up other work.
His course from then until now
has been that of perfect diligence to
every class of work that fell into his
hands. His field OF endeavor has
been unusual in its fitness for de-
veloping the very best capacity for
filing the Office he seeks.
The opportunity of filing so i'm
portant an office with such men as
B. T. Castellow is rare-sO rare that
if there is the slightest reason in his
favor over an opponent who was full
ly his equal in every other sense
then we should certainly give it to
B. T. Castellow.
In examining the reasons favoring
Mr.. Castellow over Mr.. Bush, not
considering his larger ability by rea-
son of greater experience and more
mature years, which is worth so
much in executive force, we find that
Mr.. Castellow has applied for this
office once before, but, running
against one of the best solicitors that
has ever filled the office, he was by
narrow margin turned down. The
hardest decision I was ever forced to
make was between Laing and Cas-
fellow. 1t did appear that Laing had
occupied the position long enough
and was hampering well developed
abilities for higher positions. But |
think wise and thoughtful people
who want to have the office well
filled and at the same tine take care
of laudable ambition will have no
trouble in deciding this contest in fa-
vor of B. T. Castellow Then, later
on, in due course of merit, they will
take care Of Billy Bush, who is much
younger and really needs a little
more of the ripening process in order
that his services may be thoroughly
nutritious in first term service and
have as little waste from after-prep-
aration as possible
Let US have B. T. Castellow's prov
ed pudding now, and Billy Bush's
promised pie later on when it's good
and done, DAN w. HANBACK,.

MOT ACTUATED BY SPLEEN
SAYS DEAN IN OPPOSING THE
TELEPHONE FRANCHISE.
Declares That Time of Grant Is Too
Long, and That City Should Have
at Least Some Remuneration.

Declares That Time of Grant Is Too
Long, and That City Should Have
at Least Some Remuneration.
To the Citizens of Dawson: l I'M
/ derstand that my name is being
brought into the proposed telephone
franchise grant which the city is be-
! ing asked to give 10 the Southern
Bell Telephone Co. for the period of
! one-half a century. | am therefore
writing this to ask that no one al
low this kind Of argument to infu-
ence a vote which should be cast
only with an eye single to the city's
! interest. Whatever may be your pri-
vate opinion of the former telephone
interests of Dawson | ask that you
be thoughtful enough to consider
Dawson only in this matter. 1t is
your town and it's welfare that you
should be interested in, not only for
the present, but the future thereof
| do not hesitate to give you my
position on this matter, and accom-
pany the same with reasons. l am
unqualifedly opposed to the grant
ing of the proposed franchise on the
conditions surrounding the PROPOSE
ton. My reasons are as follows:
First, l have always favored do
nestle or home ownership of all
such properties, keeping the pro-
ceeds at home among those from
whom they come.
Second, the proposed length of
time is entirely too great; this
should not extend beyond thirty
years.
Thirdly, but not least of all, the
time has come when franchises have
a very material property value, when
our larger cities have long since
ceased to grant such valuable privi-
leges without making requirements
as will mean material revenue to the
cities, and such provisions, too, as
will make this revenue increase as
the properties become more valuable
to the owners of the same.
I cannot see how any citizen will
be able to cast a vote for this fran
chise when solemn thought is given
the matter Can Dawson afford to
give to a company entirely foreign to
any interest of the town, and which
will ever remain such, so valuable a
grant with virtually no consideration
whatever? | shall not believe the
voters will be guilty of so short
sighted a business move until the
counting of the votes demonstrates
such result. If the city council has
made errors in the past by granting
such privileges unaccompanied by
just remuneration to the city such
constitutes no reason for a continu1
ance of so fragrant a mistake, espe
cially when the income from the
property is to be taken away from
the town.
I trust that | have made myself
plain and that I may have at least
convinced my friends that I am
prompted by patriotism and not per-
sOnal spleen in my advocacy of the
defeat of this franchise application.
Respectfully, j. G. DEAN.
