We're Called to Atlanta Suddenly and

Mr.. Edwin P. Ansley and the COM
pany of northern capitalists who
were touring southwest Georgia,
making investigations preliminary
to inaugurating a rural credit sys-
tenn in this state similar to that
which has done so much for German
farmers, were halted in their tour
by business demands which necessi-
tated their presence in Atlanta.
They proceeded as far as Thomas
Vile, when they Cancelled dates and
left at once for Atlanta. Dawson,
which was in the original itinerary;
was cut out to enable the party to
get to Albany. But in a converse
ton by telephone Wednesday Mr..
Ansley assured Mr.. Morgan, of the
Chamber of Commerce, that the
party would return to this section of
the state in the near future and that
the schedule of the trip would be
so arranged that the entire party
could spend the night here. In re-
GREETING that the demands Of urgent
business made it impossible for the
party to come to Dawson as orig
inally intended, Mrs. Ansley said:
1--WE Atlantans are familiar with
the fine farming lands of Terrell
county and we are anxious to have
the visiting capitalists see some OF
the finest farming lands in Georgia
and one of the best counties from an
agricultural standpoint in the south. "
The exact date when the party will
visit Dawson and spend some time
in Terrell county will be announced
through the Chamber of Commerce
in the near future.

Big FORTUNE IN SONGS
THE MOCKING BIRD MADE %
100000 FOR PUBLISHERS.
WOrld-FamOus Ballads Have YieJda4
Great Sums. In Some Instances
Composers Got Little.

NreaC oUhlS' HI some instances
Composers Got Little.
The death of Stephen Adams" in
private life Michael Maybrick com
poser of such world-famous ballad
songs as "a Warrior Bold" Nancy
Lee" The Midshipmite, The Star
of Bethlehem" The Holy CITY,.
They All Love Jack" and "Thora !"
reminds one that, unlike MANY
other composers of popular SONGS
who have usually sold their comno-
sitions outright instead of on the
royalty basis, he must have made
good sum from his music.
1t is true he sold "A Warrior Bold
for a dollar, a song that produced
royalties for its lucky purchaser that
ran into four figures, and he also
offered Nancy Lee" to a publisher
for 800. This, however, was re-
fused, but after hearing Stephen
Adams" sing it at st. James Hall.
the publisher offered $500. This
time the composer refused and the
song, which the publisher might have
had for 500, ultimately cost him
several thousands in royalties.
But it is doubtful if Maybrick re-
ceived as much for any of his songs
as the 100000 which the univer-
sally popular Queen of My Heart
earned for it's composer. Sir Arthur
Sullivan drew $4,000 in royalties
from THE Lost Chord" while In
Old Madrid" rewarded composer and
publisher to the tune of $75,0 My
Pretty Jane" is said to have yielded
a revenue of $40, 900 a line, and even
after many years of popularity some
old favorite songs are worth sub
stantial sum, for not long ago the
opyright of For All Eternity was
sold for $1,000.
"For All Eternity was refused
by several publishers before a we'll
known firm agreed to undertake to
publish it, while all the composer Of
Listen to the Mocking Bird" by
which the publishers are said to have
realized 100000, received for the
song was $35.
alice, Where Art Thou" was Of
fered to several publishers for $25,
and declined with thanks, while
Kathleen Mavourneen" was actually
parted with for this absurd sum.
Who can estimate the golden harvest
that has been reaped from these two
songs, which won wide popularity
and undying fame? And the same
might be said of Balfe's exquisite
Come Into the Garden, Maud" sold
by the composer for $500, and of
"Cheer, Boys, Cheer sold by Henry
Russell for SIS.

BATTERY BEACHCOMBERS.
Gatherers of Flotsam and Jetsam in
New York City.

New Ofk Oity.
Wayfarers along the Battery sea-
wall in New York sometimes stop to
watch groups of men laboring to
hoist heavy beams and other pieces of
timber from the rocky beach which
lines the shore to the top of the wall.
These men, who appear to come from
the Italian and Syrian settlements of
Washington street, are the beach
combers of the Battery.
A lot of drift ranging from empty
orange boxes, barrels and old trunks
and chests, to boards, planks and
timbers, comes ashore at the foot of
the wall. 1t is generally most plen-
tiful after a westerly wind has been
prevailing, and at these times, with
the tide low. the beachcombers APP
pear and gather in their prizes.
At times the beams and spars
which happen to float in are too big
to handle. In this case a crOss-cut
saw is brought into play and the
timber sawn into sections which viii
handle easily. The swarthy mer
sometimes work until the tide comes
again to cover up the slippery greer
stones, and it is a poor day when the!
do not garner several dollars wortl
of firewood, if there is nothing more
valuable in the driftage.

Drives Rheumatic Pains Away,

Few Doses Are

Sleep disturbing bladder weak
nesses, backache, rheumatism, and
the many other kindred ailments
which so commonly come with declin-
ing years, need no longer be source
of dread and misery to those who are
past the middle age of life.
The new discovery, Croxone, over
comes all such disorders because it re-
moves the very cause of the trouble. It
soaks right into the kidneys, through
the walls and Innings; cleans out the
little fltering glands and cells, and
gives the kidneys new strength to do
their work properly. 1t neutralizes
and dissolves the poisonous uric acid
substances that lodge in the joints
and muscles, causing rheumatism
and makes the kidneys filter and sift
out all the poisonous waste matter

A PRETTY GAME OF BALL.
Dawson and Arlington Play An
Eleven Inning Tie.

Decidedly the most interesting
game of ball ever played here was
that Wednesday afternoon, when
Dawson and Arlington played II in
nings to a and score.
Only one Dawson player reached
third base, while Arlington never got
man further than second. The
feature of the game was the slab
work of Slappey for Dawson, while
South, of the South Atlantic league,
pitched excellent ball. The batteries
were: Dawson-SI appey and Mona
han; Arlington-South and Hobbs.
Tuesdays game with Arlington re-
suited in a 10 to score in favor Of
Dawson.
The local boys defeated Fort
Gaines yesterday afternoon in slow
game of to 3, nearly all of Daw-
sons runs resulting from errors on
the part of the visitors. Lovett, for
Fort Gaines, pitched a winning game
of ball, and deserved better support
than was accorded him. Dozier, for
Dawson, who was pitching his, third
game in four days, was hit freely, but
excellent support kept the score
down.
Fort Gaines will play the local boys
again this afternoon, the game start
ing at 1880 O'Clock.

LYNN DURHAM MISSIONARY So
CIETY ENTERTAINS.
For Two of Its Members, Misses Gar
ner and Dean. Several Other
Enjoyable Affairs.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. c.
Durham was the scene of a happy
gathering of young women on Thurs
day morning when Misses Minnie
Bridges and Minnie May Durham
were hostesses to the Lynn Durham
Bible class in honor of two brides
elect, Miss Mamie Dean and Miss
Winona Garner, the last named being
complete surprise, as no intimation
of her engagement had been made
except to the teacher, Miss Bridges,
as Miss Garner wished her announce
ment made first to her Sunday school
class. AS the guests arrived they
| were presented with score cards on
which were painted couple in the
quaint Dutch costume. The contest
was who could give the best answers
to the questions, "Why should Ma
ME Dean marry E. c. Paschal?"
why should Winona Garner marry
Henry Williams?" Many good rea-
sons were given in a pleasing variety
| of sentiment, all logical and satisfac-
tory, and AL went merry as a mar
riage bell"
In the wish books, which lay open
on the table. each guest wrote some
sweet expression of love, and these
were presented to the brides-to-be.
Mrs. L. C. Durham, who is affec
| tionately called the "class mother
then led the way to the dining room,
exquisite in its decorations of white
and green. Easter lilies and white
hydrangeas were used with feathery
ferns. White tulle was brought from
the chandelier in graceful arrange
ment about the punch bowl, from
which Misses Lois and Mary Durham
served delicious beverage.
AS the guests were grouped about
the table, toasts to the brides were
right heartily given, Miss Minnie
| Bridges acting as toastmistress. In
memory of the sweet young life
passed away, whose name the class
i bears, all stood for moment in
silence with bowed heads. Miss Ruth
Mathis, president, in behalf of the
class, in a very happy manner pre-
sented to the guests OF honor hand
some silver sandwich trays, suitably
engraved. The cutting of the large
cake caused much merriment, each
one hoping to get the ring. Miss
Lucy Helen Jennings was the winner.
The coin fell to Miss Lila Belle
Lowry and the thimble to Miss Myr-
tie Ammons. Cream and cake were
enjoyed. Mrs. w. c. Wallace, Mrs.
f. B. Durham and Mrs. w. L. Battle
assisted in entertaining. In looking
into the bright, earnest young faces
it was easy to believe that the sent1-
lment of the class motto, "Others,
was the rule of their happy, useful
Lives. This occasion, beautiful and
uplifting in eery detail. will never be
forgotten by those whose privilege
: it was to be present.
