To Reach All Residents.

These plans, If followed. will reach
practically every resident of Washington
in a way flom which it will be possible
to ascertain just how greatly the general
public is interested in street SAFETY and
the elimination of avoidable accidents.
The contest today was limited to per-
sons more than sixteen years old, because
il is hoped to arrange contests and other
features in the near future in which only
children will he allowed TO partic! pa,e. 1t
might be said that numerous features of

Expressing In his last written message
a hope that God would forgive him for
his act and that God would care for his
wife and two children. George II. Daw-
son. forty-two years old, sergeant of po-
lice and hack inspector. yeste' day after
noon retired to his room at his home, Il
Quincy street northwest, turned on the

after he had died that his wife returned
home. Her son, Richard Houck. reached

fathers room.

the cause assigned for the deed, the po-
lice sergeant having suffered from
chronic stomach trouble for several years
and had reached the conclusion that there
was no cure for him.
Remarks made by the sick and de-
spondent man indicate that he had brood
ed over his illness during recent months
and had given some thought to suicide.
II won't be Il trouble to anybody much
longer" he was heard to remark Sun
day. but he had been in the habit OF
joking so much that no attention was
paid to the remark.
Dawson was a native of Washington
and had been a member of the police
force about fifteen years. He served as
precinct detective in the ninth precinct
a number of Years and was promoted to
hack inspector because OF meritorious
service. Maj Sylvester recently an
nounced that Dawson was to be made
lieutenant and placed in charge of the
traflc squad that is to be organized
Sergt Dawson is survived by his wife
and two children, a SOP ten years old,
and daughter seven years old. Mrs. Daw-
son had been accustomed to spend Mon
days at the home of her sister, her

Of HISTORY
REPRODUCED At ERIE
Commodore Perry's Victory
Celebrated With Elaborate
and Varied Program.

ERIE, Pa. July S.-Commodore Oliver
Hazard Perry, impersonated by Ludwig
Meyer. a local business man, left Fort
Anthony Wayne at the Pennsylvania Sol
diers and Sailors Home last evening at
8 o'clock, and. driving over the route fol-
lowed by the hero OF Put-in-Bay, entered
Erie an hour later. The city was ablaze
with light and color in commemoration of
the centennial celebration of the famous
victory, one Of series of similar events
to be held at ports on the great lakes.
The program as carried out was designed
to recall scenes enacted while Perry and
his men were building and fitting out
their ships In Erie harbor.
The procession was met in the outskirts
of the city by civic organizations and es-
corted to Perry Square, where before a
great crowd the freedom of Erie was for
mally presented to the distinguished
guest The principal address was made
by Mayor William ]. Stern. to which
Commodore Perry responded.
Notable Event Pictured.
Earlier in the day Perry Square was the
scene of another notable event when the
Conestoga wagon, reproduction OF the
vehicle which carried ammunition to Per-
rvs squadron century ago, arrived
after a hve-hundf ed-mlle oriNe IIOIH
Philadelphia.
The arrival of the wagon with its &C
companying guard of United States
cavalrymen from Fort Myer, Va. was
timed to correspond with that Of the
reception Of the original first load or
ammunition, and the route was the
same as that covered 100 years ago. AT
the point on the harbor front where
the rebuilt Niagara, Perry's old fighter,
lies moored to the dock. the guard was
received by a detail of naval militia
from the training ships. The wagon
was driven to the side of the old ship
and the troopers quickly dismounted.
Immediately Old-tine kegs, presumably
filled with explosives. were passed from
the wagon to the dock amid the cheers
of large crowds. The national colors
were run up to the masthead. and the
of commodores salute of thirteen
guns from the naval training ship lay
ing alongside the Niagara

Details have been worked out for

the time will be given over to school
children and the advocates of equal
suffrage. The principal feature is to
be the procession, in which the children
will draw with ribbons OF red, white
and blue IL number of miniature floats.
Many advocates of equal suffrage
have arrived in the city or are on their
way to take part in their demonstra-
ton. Delegations have already ar
rived from Pittsburgh, Cleveland and
other cities. Among The leaders sched-
uled to take part in the demons -ra-

COMPLAIN OF 8. G. w. II. r..
No Stations Between Sumter and
BishOpvlllc and Freight less Than
Carload Lots Will not Be Sent.

Some Of the mercantile and manu-.
featuring establishments OF Sumter
are complaining about the lack of ac-
commodations for delivery OF freight
at and shipments of same In less than
car load lots from points on the South
Carolina Western Railway between
Sumter and Bishopville. There are
no depots at Brent, DuBose, Aman,
McCutchen and Manville, all Of these
being flag stations.
The business men say they are los
Ing a great deal Of business because
the railway company will not accept
freight for those points in less than
q solid car. The matter has been re-
ferred to the Chamber OF Commerce,
and the managing secretary has taken
the matter UP with General Man
ager ]. E. Hancock. Of the South
Carolina Western Railway.
The Chamber Of Commerce hopes
that it. will be able to have this mat
ter adjusted very soon, as tho S. G.
w. is doubtless as anxious to get the
business as the shipping public is to
offer the same.

NEILS COTTON PICKER.
Its Work Encourages Inventor and
His Friends

Yorkville. Nov. 2o.--Many persons
throughout this section who have ex-
ainined the Neil cotton picker, are Of
the opinion that Mr.. Neil has at Last
solved the problem OF picking cotton
by machinery and that when perfected
his picker will revolutionize the cot
ton raising problem. Mr.. Neil has
been at work for several years on the
machine and in order to demonstrate
its weak points. If there were any, a
test was made in a nearby cotton
field several weeks ago and, while
several defects were discovered. still
there were none that Mr.. Neil and
those who know him best do not be-
lieve will eventually be corrected. At
that test the machine gathered 50 per
cent Of the open cotton on the stalks
and did no damage whatever to the
plants. When perfected 1t Is believ.
ed that the machine will be offered
at e. price within tho reach Of the
farmer Of moderate means, as there
is very little, If any, moro machin-
cry about it than there is about g.
grain binder and the machine will
not weigh exceeding 1000 pounds.
