SOCIALCONDITIONS SUBJECT OF SERMON

reach by the church than any other
people in the community. After be-
ing reached they are usually the first
to backslide.
2. It is hurtful to the church.
Dancing people as rule do not at
tend the mid-week prayer meetings.
They do not always attend the
preaching service on the Lords day.
They are not church workers.
Dangerous to Social Purity.
| g. 1t is dangerous to social purity.
Here is the real core of christian OBJ
lection to the dance. I shall not say
any more on this subject.
4. 1t violates the presidents and
rules of your church. This, it seems
to me, is reason enough to keep any
church member from dancing. Your
church is against the dance. (Here
Mr.. Morgan read from the authori-
ties of the Methodist, Baptist, Pres
byterian, Episcopal and Catholic
churches, showing beyond doubt
that they are all against the dance.)
IT what / hear on the streets of
Dawson is true we have here dancing
in its worst form-the turkey trot,"
the Boston Dip" and the bunny
hug" A paper states that a young
man and young lady at Savannah or
Tybee were placed under arrest
some time ago for dancing the "tur-
key trot." If Savannah says the
thing is not decent it is time for
Dawson to take notice.
The Craze for Club Life.
I think mothers in Dawson set the
social ball rolling some time ago by
card parties. The dancing craze is
at least to some extent the result Of
the card craze. The young people
say, eff mother can play cards we
can dance" And they can, and
mother can't say a word. There is
too much social life in this communi-
ty. 1t is a sad day for the church
in any community when there is a
craze for club life, either by the men
or women. The clubs may be good,
but too much social life is not good.
For that reason I am somewhat
against the whole thing, even the
mothers club, good as it is. think
the best way to grow children is to
stay at home and grow them. / am
not against the house parties, but
there are too many of them. If we
do not call halt on these things
it means the spiritual hurt of the
community and the financial ruin of
some of our young men,

KNOCKED OFF OF HIS. PINS
Senator Bacon Declared That Is
What Suggestion of Col
league Did to Him.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-An attempt
was made today by Senator owen to
have the senate pass his bill for the
creation of a bureau of legislative ex-
perts, to draft bills upon the requests
of the president, committees of con-
gress, eight senators or twenty-five
representatives.
Il am so astonished at this sugges-
ton of having a school master to do
work that senators are supposed to
be able to perform that l am COM
pletely knocked of my pins" declar-
ed Senator Bacon.
Did the senator say 'pins?" ask
ed Senator Lewis.
The Georgia senator responded he
was so shocked he probably had used
improper words.
Senator Owen withdrew the bill
from further consideration.

and the gun of ]. W. Brown was also
discharged, and when the excitement
had subsidized it was found that the
latter had been wounded a second
time, the last ball entering the left
groin in front and coming out at the
outside of the right hip. The charge
from Browns gun came through the
open door and entered the top of the
shed in front of the building.
The wounded man was put in an
automobile and taken to the city
prison, where his wounds were ex-
amined by Drs. Lamar and Patter-
son, and he was later removed to his
home.
Extent of Injuries Not Known.
The physicians did not probe the
wounds, and the extent of the inju-
ries is not known. They do not ap-
prehend any serious results from the
lower one, but as the location of the
bullet that entered under the shout
der blade is not known they are una
BILE yet to say what the result may be.
Mr.. Browns symptoms were re-
ported to be favorable this morning.
He was clear of fever and resting
well.

FEW GENERAL BILLS PASSED
LEGISLATURE HAS BUT TWEEN
TY-TWO WORKING DAYS LEFT.
New County Measures Have Practi-
cally Absorbed All of the Atten-
ton of the Solons.

LANTA.-Nineteen of the fifty
days of the legislative session had
gone when the general assembly con-
vened Monday morning. If the re-
naming four Sundays and four Sat
urdays, the latter being given only
to local measures, are omitted the
! Legislature has left it only twenty
two more substantial working days.
Very few general bills have as yet
been passed in either house, and yet
the passage of these has come week
earlier than usual on account of the
earlier appointment of the standing
committees.
1t looks around the lobby of the
| Kimball house as if the various new
county movements are trying to alb
sorb practically all of the legislative
time, or as much of it as they can
| get. But the new county committees
in both houses have gone to work
early with a determination to get
these matters out of the way of later
and more important matters which
the legislature must consider.
Barrow County Bill Passed.
One of the first general bills pass
ed by the house was new county
bill-that to create the new county
of Barrow with Winder as the county
seat. The only other new county bill
which has yet received the approval
of the constitutional amendments
committee is that to create the new
county of Gambler with Meter as the
county site. Four or five other new
county bills which were considered
by the committee were turned down
with unfavorable reports.
1t is reported that the senate will
probably have less consideration for
new counties than the house, and
that those which do pass the house
will have harder sailing on the other
side. Many seem to know that this
is true and profess to know why it
is true, but they are not discussing
it generally. They seem to think
that in some way or other the oppo-
sition to new county movements has
secured a strong hold on the senate;
much stronger, at least, than it was
able to get on the house.
House Passes Insurance Measure.
Only one or two other general bills
have had any action so far this ses-
sion, the most important being per-
haps the measure by the house re-
curing all foreign insurance COM
panies withdrawing from the state
to file with the comptroller general a
full statement of their assets and liza
bilities. and to show that all their
policy holders have been properly re-
insured.
AS a matter of fact, legislation for
the present is in the hands of the
standing committees, and both
houses are in a waiting attitude,
handling from day to day what the
committees give them. While many
bills have already been reported they
are on the calendar only for second
reading.

FOLLOWED A SEARCH OF HIS
RESIDENCE FOR WHISKEY
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
THREATENED TO SHOOT MAYOR

Had Gun Loaded With BuckshOt
When Police Went to Arrest Him.
The Occurrences That Led Up to
the Tragedy.
John w. Brown we'll known citi-
zen of Dawson, was shot twice by
policemen Monday morning in his Of
fee at Crouch's stable, on Main
street. where he was waiting with a
shot gun and had threatened to kill
Mayor McNulty.
The tragedy followed the search
the day before of the residence in
which Mr.. Brown and his brother
in-law and sister, Mr.. and Mrs. G. F..
Scott, lived for whiskey, which the
former was believed to be selling in
violation of the prohibition law.
The occurrences that led up to the
shooting Monday began Sunday
morning, when Chief of Police w. M.
Brown concealed himself in little
building on Main street occupied as
an upholstering establishment by B.
F. Williams for the purpose of
watching the Brown residence. He
states chat he saw fifteen negroes
enter and leave the premises by a
side gate, and arrested the last one
and found in his possession pint of
whiskey, which he said he obtained
there.
Search Warrant Secured.
A conference was held by the chief
with Mayor McNulty, with a result
that application was made by tele-
phone to Judge Worrill at Cuthbert
for warrant to search the dwelling.
The warrant was received on the
12:45 Central train, and a search
was made by Chief Brown and Po-
liceman Crouch about 2 o'clock, but
no whiskey was found according to a
statement made by the chief to the
reporter. Brown was not a home at
the time.
Armed Self With Shot Gun.
While holding police court Monday
morning Mayor McNulty was noti-
fed by a friend that Mr.. Brown was
sitting in his office with gun loaded
with buckshot, and had said that he
intended to kill the mayor when he
passed on the way to his place of
business at the compress.
Mayor McNulty then issued a war
rant for the arrest of Brown, and
Chief of Police Brown and Officer j.
NJ Crouch had gone to Browns Of
fee to execute it when the tragedy
occurred. They found him in his
office, where he had been reported to
be. officer Crouch approached
through the stable to a side door,
while the chief advanced from the
street toward the front door. Officer
Crouch states that Brown had raised
his gun and was pointing it in the di-
rection of Chief Brown when he
fired his pistol, the ball entering at
the lower edge of the left shoulder
blade. officer Crouch fired second
time, Chief Brown fred his pistol,

bareheaded, except during severe
weather in the winter or the sunny
days of midsummer. Washing and
wetting the hair is also a good thing,
for it, according to as eminent an au-
thority as DR.. Woods Hutchinson and
soap occasionally If properly rinsed
off, does no harm and will not turn the
hair gray. Bennington has the most
good looking and well dressed girls of
any town in Vermont, and, we feel
sure, of any town in the country of
its size They look well and general
ly appear well, whether they wear
hats or not, but especially do they
look well when they leave their hats
at home and appear bareheaded, with
their hair attractiyely arranged. This
is particularly true when hat styles
are more or less grotesque or insight
ly, as sometimes happen. Then, too,
the girls who work for living find
that hats are one OF the most eXpen-
sive items on their cash account, and
they can save money by doing so. We
hope they will continue to go bare
headed as often and as much as they
choose. The men, at least, will APP
prove of their maintaining their
rights in this matter

All fruit trees, wild cherry trees,
and even some of the shade trees, are
filled with the nests of the tent cater
pillar this spring. The eggs will be
found in little hard punches on the
limbs. These eggs are just beginning
to hatch. They can be easily destroy
ed now by hand picking, but If left to
mature there is sure to be caterpl-
lar plague few weeks hence, After
they hatch they remain in colony
for some time and weave a sort of CO
coon, which can easily be seen in the
forks of limbs and can be destroyed
by burning with a torch or coarse
swab Burning Is effective, but it is
rather injurious to the trees. After
the worms get out among the leaves.
there is no way of destroying them,
except by spraying with paris green
or arsenate of lead. A little work
now will save money and trouble lat

the members of the public service
