BELLED BIRD HAD BEST GET ON
JOB RINGING A WARNING.
Representative Pickett Believes the
Protected ScaVenger Does Eari-
GUS Bad Stunts.

The Macon Telegraph prints from
its Atlanta correspondent the follow
ing account of a bill that Represent
alive D. c. Pickett proposes to intro
duce in the legislature:
ut had to happen sooner or later,
therefore Representative Dewitt G.
Pickett of Terrell county has reliev
ed the tension in newspaper circles
and in the public mind generally in
all probability by jumping to the
front with a bill with which he ex-
poets to entertain the coming session
of the legislature.
'Of course, he is perfectly serious
about it-that always helps, too. Mr..
Pickett openly and belligerently de-
clares war on the homely and hith-
erto esteemed necessary buzzard.
Game laws have been passed and war
declared on practically everything
from corporations to rodents, but the
scavengers known to fame as buzz
yards have been surrounded with
immunity from harm at the hand of
man.
Spreads Hog Cholera.
But his evil way has been hunted
out and is held up to the world at
last by Representative Pickett. The
Terrell lawmaker says that this car
rion bird spreads the deadly hog
cholera, so Representative Pickett is
coming to the legislature with bill
lifting the immunity from Bre'r Buzz
card and booming him to destruc-
ton.
''If the far-famed bell buzzard is
about anywhere it had best get on
the job ringing a warning to its
kind, for death camps on the trail
or flight, maybe.
Representative Pickett says medi-
cal authorities assert that this bird
is a menace to both man and beast
by spreading disease broadcast. He
has not made a thorough investiga-
ton into the subject, but personally
he is convinced that the wide dissem-
, nation of the deadly hog cholera is
due wholly and solely to Bre'r Buzz
Yard.
The Terrell mans bill will include
provisions requiring the burial or
burning of carcasses of hogs sue
cumbing to cholera"

PICKETT BELIEVES IN PEOPLE
THINKS THEY ARE CAPABLE OF
EJECTTNG THEIR OFFICIALS.
Says He Must Have Further Evidence
That They Do Not Want the Right

Saws He Must Have Further Evidence
That They Do Not Want the Right
to Elect County Commissioners.
Editor of The Dawson News: Hav-
ing been absent from home the
past several weeks attending to some
personal matters l have not had the
opuortunity of hearing from the peo-
pie of Terrell county as to their
wishes relative to my bill to elect
the county commissioners by d.
rect vote of the people. | want to
state most emphatically that in con-
nection with this matter, as well as
with all others concerning the well
fare of our county, whatever steps l
may take will be with an eye single
to the best interests of the whole
people. l will at any and all times
give any citizen or citizens of Terrell
county a hearing on any matter
which concerns the county. In my
race for the legislature | openly stat
ed that if elected | would pass a
law providing for the election OF
county commissioners by direct vote
Of the people. The people at that
time signified a desire to have law
put on the statute books that would
allow each and every citizen Of the
county the right to have a say as to
who should manage the business OF
the county. Perhaps some interested |
parties would convince the citizenry |
that the people are incapable of Sc !
lecting the men who are to handle |
the finances of the county. Every |
citizen and taxpayer of Terrell coun-
ty is directly interested in the bust
ness of the county, and to my mind |
it is only fair and proper to let them
say who shall act as their agents in
conducting their public business af-
fairs. For the past several years l |
have heard much complaint as to the
selection of commissioners by the |
grand jury.
! would be very glad indeed to
have the people advise me whether
they would like to have a part in
saying who shall manage the affairs |
of the entire county, or would prefer
to delegate this right to few. l am |
firm believer in the rights of the |
whole people. l believe in a govern /
ment of the people, for the people
and by the people. Candidly, it will |
be necessary for the people of Ter
rell county to convince me that they
are opposed to any change in the !
selection of the commissioners before |
l will recede from my original idea
and purpose. very we'll understand
how easy it is for person or persons
to get up a recommendation or a
petition. Respectfully,
D. c. PICKETT,
Representative Terrell County.

SNAPPED OATS FOR RYE GOING FOR BRFR BUzzARD
THE FORMER IN STRAW AND

A Transaction Which Was Concluded

Two of Negroes Confess.

at Midnight GlVeS SheFlH u JOD.
Two of Negroes Confess.
An exchange of oats for rye, and
the fact that the former were not the
property of any of the parties to the
transaction has caused the arrest of
three regroes. One of them is Will
son Jones, the we'll known negro un-
dertaker, Pete Hall, his driver, and
Frank Jordan, tenant on the farm
of Mr.. B. NJ. Davidson.
1t was reported to Mr.. Davidson
that a wagon was loaded with oats
from the barn of Jordan about l
O'Clock Friday night, and came in the
direction of Dawson. An investiga-
ton Saturday morning led to the dis
covery of the oats in the crib of Will
son Jones, that they had been hauled
there by Pete Hall, and that Jordan
had pitched them out of the loft
when they we're loaded on the wagon
Jordan and Hall have made con-
LESSONS, and the former says he
snapped the oats to Jones for rye
whiskey.
Jones and Jordan have given
bond and been released from jail.

SHIPPING CATTLE TO WEST
THERE THEY WILL BE FATTEN-
ED AND RESOLD IN SOUTH.
Four Hundred Piney Woods Steers
Are Loaded and Started on the
Journey to Missouri.

ALBANY, Ga.-People here were
again forcibly reminded yesterday of
the activity of Western cattle men in
buying up the beef cattle of this sec
ton for shipment beyond the Mis-
sissippi, there to be fattened and re-
sold to the South at fancy prices. A
recent dispatch told of the shipment
of several hundred head of cattle
from Mitchell county to the 1O1
Ranch, near Kansas City, the ship
ment being temporarily held up by
the federal authorities because the
cattle had not been sprayed for the
cattle tick.
Yesterday a drove of 400 piney
woods steers was driven through AL
bany streets to the Central freight
yards, where they were placed in
cars for shipment to Missouri. The
owner of this bunch of cattle, Dan
Miller, has been buying them up in
this and neighboring counties for sew
eral weeks, and he stated that he
had more than a thousand head in
addition to the 400 shipped today
An Albany business man jocularly
called Mr.. Miller to task for taking
| this sections cattle away in such
large numbers. He replied that the
people of this section did not seem to
be able to appreciate their opportuni-
ties and advantages, and that if the
steers could not, or would not, be
fattened in Southwest Georgia they
might as well be sent where they
will be fattenned.
The incident serves to call atten-
ton to the movement being agitated
in several Southwest Georgia coun-
| ties looking to the establishment of
at least one up-to-date slaughter
house with adequate cold storage IA
ciIities. A number of the big farm
ers of this section have declared that
| If Albany, or any other town in this
part of the state, will provide the
| packing uOuSS ouOuSu O1bIlC dhN
hogs to make it profitable to its pro-
moters will be guaranteed.
Before the war this was a great
cattle section, and during the latter
half of the conflict between the North
and South Southwest Georgia was
known to the quartermaster's de-
partment of the Southern army as
1.-The Egypt of the Confederacy" 1t
has all the natural requirements of
great cattle country, cattle finding
sustenance in the open woods ten
months in the year. In the opinion
of some thoughtful men the ship
ment of cattle in large numbers to
the West will cause farmers and land
owners to open their eyes, and the
possible effect will be the revival of
what was once highly important
Southwest Georgia industry.

A NEW JUDICIAL CIRCUIT =?
Rumors Come From NeighbOring
County That Bill May Be Intro
duced in Legislature.

An interesting rumor comes from
one of the counties of which it is
proposed to form a new judicial cir
cult.
According to this report, for which
no one yet seems to be sponsor, it is
proposed to form new circuit of
Dougherty and. Calhoun counties,
now in the Albany circuit, Lee, in
the Southwestern circuit, and Ter
rell, in the Pautaula circuit.
A bill to that effect, so the re-
port goes, will be introduced in the
Legislature soon to convene and push
ed by influential men in some of the
counties interested.
How the bar of Dawson and the
citizens of Terrell county will look
upon the movement, if it develops,
is not known.

Argentine Government Thus Reaches
Thousands Of Children to Edu-

floating schools go from point to point
along the La Plata and It's tribu-

as the school steams to new territory
along the waterfront.
In addition to saving thousands of
dollars in the annual expenses Of the
department of education, it is off,
cially reported that education is now
being brought to thousands Of Ar
gentine children who were previously
without any scholastic attention what
soever.
Each schoolship consists Of double
deck sections devoted to the higher
and lower classes; while terrace and
private apartments for the teaching
stan form the superstructure. The
ships have a capacity of two hum
dred pupils each. They are absolutely
health assuring. and their value In
meeting the peculiar difficulties con-
fronting the education department
in the La Plata delta is considerable
Indeed their success has been such
that a number of additional school
ships for other waterfront districts
are now in course Of construction.
