always true economy to wait while
others work. We want town with

that matter? If not do so, and draw
an air line south from Atlanta and
see if you don't almost exactly pass
through Dawson, and while doing
this furnish one of the very shortest
lines from Atlanta to the sea. This
line will touch sixteen counties in
Georgia, and, without veering much,
pass through Florida's capital city,
thence to Apalachee bay or the gulf,
distance, airline, from Atlanta of
only about 235 miles. Why should
not we get busy and advocate the
extension of the states road and then
pull for this directly southern extern

tons of the state? Do not imagine
there is no chance. If there be any
extension there is just as surely
chance. 1t takes energy, effort and

BOLD ]! Thieves CAUGHT
POLICE FORCE ROUND UP TWO
NEGRO BURGLARS.
Had Repeatedly Robbed the Store of
}. L. ROBBERS by Entering Through
an Upstairs Window.

Sum SP-AoO1thS w lIHIOM.
Inc police force placed behind the
bars Wednesday two negroes on the
charge of burglarizing the store of
j. |. Roberts on Lee street.
Their names are Frog Davis and
Clyde Muckerson, two we'll known
negro boys about 20 years of age.
1t seems that the negroes had
made several entries of the store
through an upstairs window, by 60
ing up the stairway between Roberts
store and the Dawson Drug Co., go
ing through DR.. Lamar's office and
through a window, getting on the
roof of the store of C. L. Mize, where
they had no difficulty in raising a
window leading to the second floor
OF Mr.. Roberts store and then going
down the stairway into the main
store.
The suspicious of Mr. Drane Law
hon, the manager of the store, were
aroused by his porter telling of some
negro women who were talking about
some cheap shoes and other mer-
chandise they had bought from Davis
and Muckerson, who claimed to have
bought them from the store. AS Mr..
LaWhon had been missing some goods
he notified Chief of Police Peddy of
the facts communicated to him and
the chief and his force got busy, with
the result that Davis and Muckerson
were soon landed in jail Both of
the negroes confessed to the bur
glary, stating that they had entered
the store on several occasions. the
last visit having been made on Mon
day night of last week. How much
the store has lost by the thefts of the
negroes can hardly be estimated, but
it must have been considerable
Clyde Muckerson, it will be re-
membered, was sent to national
reformatory school at Washington
about three years ago for stealing
several special delivery letters it was
his duty to deliver as special deliv-
cry messenger of the Dawson postof-
fee. He had returned to Dawson
about four weeks ago from the re-
formatory, and has since been loaf
ing the streets.
