MISS TWEEDY's GOOD WORK
In Charge of the Settlement Home
Sunday and Sewing School Work
i'm Norfolk, Virginia.

The Norfolk (Va) Ledger prints
the following concerning the mis-
sionary work in that city of Miss
Margaret Tweedy of Dawson:
This work is conducted under the
auspices of the Home Mission Board
of the Southern Baptist Convention
and started little more than two
wears ago. The work has grown
largely under the wise and conse-
Grated leadership of Miss Margaret
Tweedy, the superintendent, who is
especially adapted to this class OF
work.
1.-THE Sunday school meets every
Sunday afternoon and the attendance
is from 40 to so. Miss Tweedy is
very much handicapped by the lack
of christian workers in the Sunday
school. and she would appreciate
greatly the assistance of any one
who would be willing to lend help
ing hand.
NThe sewing schooI is largely al
tended-from so to 70 in attendance
every Thursday afternoon. In this
department the girls are taught to
sew.
Miss Tweedy has also organized
a Mothers Club in connection with
this work, which meets every Tues
day afternoon, and is largely attend
ed by the mothers of the children,
who are greatly benefited.
"This work commends itself to ev-
cry man and woman in the city of
Norfolk because its influence is be-
ing felt in that part of our city where
IT counts for material good.

Letter, and to Go to the Grand
Jury With His Troubles.
Editor Dawson News: l have re-
ceived through the mail the follow
ing unsigned communication:
mayor f. NJ. McNulty, Dawson,
Ga.-Dear Sir: Don't you know that
there is a state law prohibiting the
sale of soft drinks and cigars on the
Sabbath? The drug stores are in
the habit of opening their places on
Sunday just as they are during the
week. If | am not mistaken, the
city ordinance says from the hours
of $50 to 1920 a. IN. and two hours
in the afternoon for the purpose of
filling prescriptions. l think the cit
liens of Dawson will thank you if
you will instruct your chief of police
to make cases against places selling
soft drinks. Very truly, -."
l wish to say to the unknown
writer of the above that I am aware
of the fact that it is violation of
the state law for any kind of business
to be transacted on the Sabbath, but
1 have no control over the grand
iuries. If the anonymous writer will
furnish evidence to convict in may
or's court the guilty parties will be
punished.
I haven't very much respect for
anonymous criticism of negligence OF
duty. Respectfully, F. NJ. M'NULTY.

morrow.
There will be very little legisla-
ton of local interest, as notice has
been given of but one bill affecting
only the people of Dawson and Ter
rell county. That is to change the
election of county commissioners
from the grand jury to the people,
Mr.. Pickett says he is convinced that
large majority of the people Of the
county desire that this be done, and
he intends to put bill to that effect
through the legislature.
More or less interest has been
aroused by proposition to repeal
the sale of near beer in Terrell coun-
ty and petitions are in circulation
both for and against the proposed
measure. The representative says
he will be governed in this as well
as in other matters directly affect
ing the people of the county by the
wishes of majority of the qualified
voters.
Many Live Wires.
The session of the general assem-
bly, promises to be anything but a
tame affair. Little clouds already
manifest on the legislative horizon
bid fair to develop into real storms
before the law making body has been
on the job very long.
The big fights will probably re-
volve around the following PROPOSE
tions: To repeal the military act
passed by the last legislature; for the
state to print its own school books;
to create a number of new counties;
to enact permanent registration
law; to abolish the sale of near beer
and eliminate locker clubs; to pro-
vide for compulsory education; to
create a state banking department;
to revise the states tax system; to
put county officers on salaries in
stead of fees; to rotate judges from
one circuit to another; to provide for
an inheritance tax; to create state
auditor; to abolish the offices Of So
licitors general and create in their
stead the offices of county prosecu-
tors.
Far Reaching Fight.
Perhaps the principal fight and
the one to be the most far-reaching,
will be precipitated when an effort
is made to repeal the military act
At least three different bills having
this object in view will be introduc-
ed, and it is more than probable that
a Joint committee from the house and
senate will be appointed to- investi-
gate the operation of the present
military law as applied to the Au-
gusta street car strike last fall.
All three of the Richmond county
representatives are determined upon
the repeal of the law and upon an
