The reading. room in Metcalf was
the scene of one of the most enjoy
able entertainments ever given in
that place, when Miss Winifred Sex
ton gave dramatic reading of''Prince
Chap" in three acts, on Wednesday
evening of this week, assisted by
Mrs W. P. Weller. The entertain
ment was under the auspices of the
Woman's Uplift Club, of that place,
an organization that has been doing
excellent work, and as the usual re-
suit of their undertakings the affair
was a great success. Miss Sexton
is WELL known here in her dramatic
ability and her representations of the
five different characters in this play
we're excellent and produced many
encores. During the evening Mrs. w.
P. Weller entertained the audience
with several beautiful vocal numbers,
and as her singing is al
ways appreciated, she was recalled
many times. The building was
crowded to its capacity and the affair
was a decided financial success.

COFFINS AND DIRE THREATS
Left at Homes of Tenants on Mitch
ell County Farms Throw Negroes
Into State of Panic.

MOULTRIE, Ga.-Negroes on the
places of S. o. Thomas and j. S.
Jones, in Mitchell county, were
thrown into a state of panic one day
this week when they found hanging
to their yard fences placards warn
ing them to leave at once and minia-
ture collins hung with the placards.
The warnings were that they would
arrive in HI without delay unless
they moved. The collins were neatly
constructed of pasteboard.
The negroes have become some
what more quiet, but they were in a
state of near panic the first of the
week, and stayed congregated togeth-
err at night. Mr.. Thomas and Mr..
Jones are at loss to know why the
effort should be made to drive away
their farm labor, and they with some
friends are making an investigation
and following up some clews they
have.
1t is said some evidence carelessly
left behind is practically conclusive
as to one of the parties.

HAND TO HAND PISTOL DUEL
5. ID. Butler Tells Thrilling Story
of How He Killed Postmaster
Williams at RoCkIedge.

DUBLIN, Ga.-The story of a
hand-to-hand battle with mailman,
each gripping the pistol of the other
as they stood with drawn guns level
ed at each other, was told today by
S. D. Butler in his explanation of
how Postmaster J. NJ. Williams of
Rockledge was shot and killed last
night.
81 shot Williams said Butler as
he rushed up to Marshal Devereaux
a short time after the shooting.
Here's my gun and here's his, .
he added. He was mad. He tried
to shoot me and l got him. 1 dis
armed him, but 1 am afraid that he
is dead. We stood there-it seemed
like an hour-he holding my gun
barrel and l had hold of his-and
both of US shooting. l finally
wrenched the gun from his hand and
he fell backward to the floor"
The chambers of both revolvers
were empty. According to Butler,
he and Williams made up last night
over a previous trouble and sat down
to drink together. Then an argu-
ment arose. Butler states that then
Williams acted like a mailman, the
final tragedy resulting.

PANAL CANAL NEARLY FINISHED
Vessels May Pass Through the Big
Ditch in Seventy Days.

The Panama canal will be in condt-
ton to pass vessels all the way across
the isthmus within the next 70 days,
it was learned, unless unexpected OBJ
stacles are encountered. This is the
Judgment of high official, who de-
clines to fix the date definitely.
The only remaining obstacles to
prevent the passage of vessels now
are the Cucaracha slide, which blocks
the cut at Culebra, and other small
slides in the same locality. Dredg-
ing is progressing satisfactorily on
these slides.
In view of uncertain conditions
surrounding the work it has been
deemed impolitic to attempt to fix a
definite date for the opening. Even
after a passage is possible several
months must be spent in training the
operating force before the waterway
is opened to commerce.

ger.
The flight was made in % minutes
one way, at an average height of so
feet above the water. A fare Of s.
each way was charged. A small
amount of baggage was carried at a
specified pound rate. The only limit
fixed in the case of passenger is
that he or she must not weigh over
200 pounds, or if weighing more than
that amount an extra charge Of 5
cents a pound is made.

DAWSON Ca FRIDAY AFTERNOON JANUARY g. 1914
OFFICERS MUST SWEAR OFF
Use of Liquor by Attaches of Allan
tas New Municipal Court Will
Mean Summary Dismissal.

ATLANTA.-Wh Atlanta's new
municipal court went into business
the very first thing it did was to issue
an order directed to its baiiiffs and
constables notifying them that the
use of liquor by them, whether on or
off duty, would not be tolerated.
The court made its intentions in
this matter as impressive as possible,
indicating that the first offense would
be met by summary dismissal from
the service.
This course was decided upon not
alone with the idea of maintaining
the dignity of the court, but to avoid
any trouble on the part of those
against whom processes from the
court may be directed, and which
the bailiffs are required to serve.
Complaints have been frequent
against justice court bailiffs, alleg-
ed to be under the influence of Ii
quor, who have acted in a highland
ed manner towards defendants upon
whom they had to serve court pro-
cesses or upon whose property levy
was to be made.
Another thing the court proposes
to do is to get away from the idea of
running it for revenue. Naturally,
that is the policy of the average JUS
tice court, as that is the source of
the Justices income. The judges
and all officials of this court, how
ever, will be paid stated salaries, no
matter what the court earns.

DEAD CHURCHES IN THE U. S.
SOCIETY BEING ORGANIZED TO
GIVE THEM DECENT BURIAL.
Abandoned Houses of Worship Are
Put to Uses That Defile Cause for
Which They Were Built.

An active movement is ON foot,
says an exchange, to organize soci-
ETY. to give decent burial to dead
! churches. The society is to be or
ganized with branches among various
denominations, and has already the
support of a large number of devout
church people. Religious conferences
have repeatedly pointed out the
growing number of empty and aban-
doned houses of worship throughout
the country, and suggested ways and
means for retaining them
In spite of all efforts the ranks of
the dead churches have grown until
they have become an offense to relig-
iously minded persons, not only on
account of their numbers but be-
cause of the worldly purposes to
which the sacred buildings are put.
Gasoline, 10 cents a gallon" APP
pears where once the pastors text
was lettered. Motion pictures have
crept into abandoned houses of pray
er in nearly every state in the un-
ion.
In Boston a gas company has occu-
pied a nice little church. In Pitts
field a summer school has cheerfully
converted a church designed by Bull
finch into a dance hall. Here the
time-stained rafters look down upon
the unholy sight of tangoes, bunny
hugs and turkey trots.
New York city is full of houses of
worship turned over to unholy pur-
poses. A Madison avenue church now
harbors a very active express Office.
One of Mr.. Frohmans stage directors
frequently rents a deserted church
farther downtown to the unholy pur-
pose of training chorus girls in their
steps.
A saloon will be found doing bust
ness still farther south, unabashed
by the fact that few years ago a
pulpit once stood near the present
site of the bar. How little the min
listers of some years ago thought as
they inveighed against the demon
rum that they we're destined to be
turned out in his favor. Stables,
garages and motion picture shows
and prize fights pay the rent of other
churches now that the plate is passed
no more.
Such sights as these are shocking
devout persons. The society, when
organized, purposes to rescue aban-
doned churches and tear them down.
Then if saloons and theatres must go
up in their places at least the house
of God will not be Knocked.

GRIFFIN'S SALOON TO QUIT
WORLDS MOST EXPENSIVE BAR
ROOM GIVES UP THE GHOST.
Council Raises License to $4,000.
Would Require Sale of 100000
Bottles of Beer to Operate 1t.

ATLANTA, Ga-Griffin, Ga, will
no doubt now lose it's reputation as
the site of the most expensive bar
room in the United States-expensiv
not in point of equipment, but in the
price of the city license.
For the past two years Griffin has
been noted as the possessor of the
barroom that paid the highest license
in the world. In 1912 this license,
paid to the city, was $4,000, and in
1913 $4,000; and the strange part
about it was that the proprietor paid
it, although he sold only one brand
of beer, that of a Georgia brewery,
which backed the establishment. 1t
was a matter of pride with this brew
cry and its management to keep its
place in Griffin, and the license fixed
was a compromise between the liber-
ais and the extremists in council, the
latter desiring to make it prohibitive.
Prohibitive License.
In fact, council has at last reached
the point of prohibitive license, for
it is not likely that the brewery will
be willing to part with $4,000 for
the privilege of selling its beer in
Griffin for one year, especially when
that privilege is set about with other
conditions which make it impracti-
cable even if the license should be
paid.
In the first place, it would require
the sale of 100000 bottles of beer at
Is cents to pay the license alone, re-
gardless Of all other expenses and
the cost OF the manufacture of the
beer itself. 1t has been figured that
it would require the sale of more
than 100000 bottles of beer annually
at 10 cents to make the project
self-sustaining. or to operate it per-
haps at a slight loss. Griffin is scarce
l. as large a consumer of beef as that
and then those who want other
brands import it anyway, so there is
not much, if anything, in it for the
brewery under the new conditions
imposed. 1t is more than likely,
therefore, that the worlds most ex-
pensive barroom will soon pass out
of existence.

SNUBBED SECRETARY BRYAN
THE DIPLOMATIC CORPS SAID TO
RE CHUCKLING OVER 1T, TOO.
Mad at President Wilson, They Re
fused to Wear Uniforms at the
Bryans' Breakfast Party.

BFNaDS' IJGcdhlhSb ttA ~
NEW YORK.-The Evening Malt
prints the following from Washing
ton:
All Washington is talking of the
way the diplomatic corps affronted
Secretary Bryan at his breakfast
party.
Furthermore, in the intimacy OF
their own circles, the diplomats are
chuckling over the affair and hoping
that some echo of it will reach the
president and that he will take notice
of the way they treated his secretary
of state.
when invitations Tor the d1plo-
matte breakfast were sent out they
we're accompanied by a strong intl-
nation that Secretary Bryan looked
upon his entertainment as one OF
great Formally, and would, there
fore. expect the diplomats to dress
accordingly. That meant wearing
their full dress uniforms and insignia
of office.
They consulted together and
agreed not to wear their uniforms
and insignia of office.
There was no question in their
minds but that Secretary and Mrs.
Bryan expected them to wear their
regalia; nevertheless, to man, they
all appeared at Clumnet Place, the
Bryan home, dressed in garments
that an ordinary man would wear to
noon breakfast.
This was a great shock to the
Bryans. who had gone to extraordi-
nary expense for decorations that the
gorgeous uniforms might have har-
monious setting.
President Wilson's failure 10 hold
the usual New Year reception upset
the entire social programme of the
diplomats.
They were miffed at the president
for calling off his reception, and took
it out on Secretary Bryan
