MRS. ARMOR WILL SPEAK
NOTED WOMAN PROHIBITION Or
ATOR COMES TO DAWSON.
She Will Deliver an Address at the
Methodist Church Wednesday
Evening at 8 O'clock.

Methodist Church Wednesday
Evening at 8 O'clock.
Many people of the city and county
are interested in the announcement
that Mrs Mary Harris Armor will
deliver an address at the Methodist
church in Dawson Wednesday even
ing, June 18th, at s o'clock.
There are perhaps few better in
formed persons in the country on
matters pertaining to prohibition
than Mrs. Armor. Indeed, it is
doubtful if there is any person who
has an abundance of facts so COM
pletely at her mastery as has Mrs.
Armor. She is widely known in
Georgia and elsewhere, and will have
an audience tomorrow night that will
compare favorably with any that has
been seen in Dawson in long while.
The Salem, Ore, Press prints the
following communication about Mrs.
Armor's address in that city: Il
went to the Methodist church last
evening expecting to take some notes
of the address of Mrs Armor of
Georgia, both for my own use and
that 1 might make some kind of re-
port of it for the Statesman, but she
had not proceeded half dozen SEN
fences when realized the hopeless
ness of the undertaking. 1t was not
merely that she talked too fast for
my tardy pencil-and her words
came out at times in a perfect tor
rent-but it was that there was so
much that no pencil could catch. The
tremendous earnestness, the evident
sincerity the Southern fire and nat
ural eloquence that carried her audi
ence with her with irresistible force
were all too much for my feeble
powers of description, and | started
to put my pencil away, but found it
still in my hand when she was done.
l must confess felt little skeptical
when Mrs. Ada Unruh, state presi-
dent of the w. c. T. u, introduced
Mrs. Armor as the Joan of Arc OF
the Temperance Movement but it is
no exaggeration. She is the express
sion of the heart-cry of a nations suf-
fering womanhood, and she moved
the audience at the Methodist church
last night as have never before seen
a Salem audience moved"

ARE BUSY ABOUT NIGH BEER
PETITIONS FOR AND AGAINST
SUBS ARE IN CIRCULATION.
So Far the Efforts of Both Sides Are
Being Confined to City. Mr.. Pick
EFT Hasn't Stated Position.

] % II ar tue EHOFLS Oh bOLn SUES Are
Being Confined to City. Mr.. Pick
EFT Hasn't Stated Position.
The foamink suds are causing lit
tie stir just now.
The petition put in circulation a
few days ago requesting Representa-
tive Pickett to repeal the local law,
which was passed through the last
legislature by former representative
B. F. Melton, prohibiting the sale of
beer in Terrell county was soon fol-
lowed by another which requests that
the law be allowed to stand on the
statute books and the sale of suds
continue to be unlawful.
Mr.. Cawood Lawhon, who circu-
lated the petition for the sale of beer,
says that he has nearly 275 names
to his petition, and Mr.. T. w. Martin,
who solicited signatures to the anti
beer petition, reports that he has OBJ
tanned about 200 signatures. The
largest registration of white voters
ever known in Dawson was three
years ago, when it reached 420.
So far both sides have confined
their efforts to the city, and it was
stated when the petitions were first
started that they would not be circu-
lated in the country, as Dawson is
the only town in the county with a
population sufficiently large to au-
thorize the sale of beer under a gen
eral law.
Whether Representative Pickett
will be wiling to act on petition
from the city only is matter of
surmise, but as it is a question in
which all the people are interested
he may not feel authorized to act in
the matter without request from a
majority of the qualified voters of
the county.
Developments will be awaited by
both sides with interest.
