FIRST TERRELL men
LEAVE FOR ARMY CAMP
LARGE CROWD GATHERED AT
STATION SUNDAY NIGHT TO
SEE THEM OFF.

Terrell county's first five per cent.
of men for the national army left
for Camp Gordon, at Chamblee, near
Atlanta, on the $50 Central train
Sunday night.
The delay in departure was caused
by the failure of the district board
to send a certified list of names to
the local board, and this was finally
secured by wire Sunday afternoon.
The district boad had previously fur
nished a certified list, but as there
was but one white person on it the
local board could not act, as they
had received instructions not to send
any negroes in the first quota.
The men who left Sunday night
are:
Carl Edwin Melton, bother, Daw-
son, Ga.
Henry Davis Hancock, farmer,
Parrott, Ca
Ralph Stanley Norton, salesman,
Dawson, Ga.
Henry Key Sessions, salesman,
Dawson, Ga.
Guy Chambliss, hotel clerk, Daw-
son, Ga.
Galen M. Waller, mechanic, Sasser,
Ga.
They went directly to the camp,
and began military duty at once.
Owing to the fact that nothing
definite was given out as to who
would be sent in the first contingent
until the Last minute nothing special
in the way of entertainment was pos
slble to show the interest and APP
probation of the public, but while the
leave taking was devoid of all spec
tacular features a large crowd gath
cred at the station and there was an
undercurrent of deep feeling and
fervent "God bless you" welled up in
every heart.
A pleasant incident in connection
with the departure of the soldiers
was the presence at the station of
Mrs. Guy Chappell, representing the
Woman's Club, who presented each
one with well equipped comfort
bag, and Mrs. l. P. Cooke in behalf
of the Red Cross provided for each
young man six elegant bath towels.
These thoughtful attentions, quietly
given, were greatly appreciated and
will be constant reminder of the
folks back home.
The next to leave Terrell county
will go on September 10Th, and will
include both white and negroes.
There will be about 40 of them.

DAWSON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
HAVE SPLENDID OPENING
Perhaps Largest First-Day Attend
ance in Their History. Large
Number of Visitors Present.

Number of Visitors Present
The Dawson public schools opened
Monday morning with perhaps the
fullest attendance in the history of
the system. $50 pupils were enrolled
the first day. Ninety of these are in
the high school.
No special program was arranged,
but a large crowd of partons and
former pupils manifested their inter-
est in the school by attending the
opening session.
The school sang "The Star Span
gled Banner" after which Rev. T. B.
Stanford and Rev. T. M. Galloway
conducted devotional exercises.
Superintendent Dukes made a
short talk in which he called special
attention to the department of home
economics. Miss Caroline Remsem
has been secured to do this work,
and she has already reported for
duty. The superintendent predicted
that this year would be one of the
best the school has ever had.
Attention was called to the fact
that out of class of 10 graduates
II would go away to school. This is
an excellent record
The school is especially proud of
its present faculty. Every teacher
is interested in the work, and is well
qualified to do it.
The school has pledged to the
town it's cooperation in every good
work. 1t would be very difficult to
find better school spirit than exists
in Dawson.

An that presence the clustering. voI. iant Zelaya diminished to his right stature, that of a rowdyish braggart, not lacking in courage and initiative. consplcuously deficient in education wisdom, judgment.
 Only less dwarfed was the repre- sentative of the Carranza interests, General Torreon, a trim and intelii- gent Mexican, well grounded in the Fundamentals of his trade-which was simply and exclusively war.
 Baron Huroki alone seemed able to address Nogi in terms of equality-if without once suggesting any reluc- tance to accord the commander in chief the difference that was his due
 This, perhaps. was quite natural in view of the authority with which Baron Huroki had been clothed by the imperial government at Tokyo-an au- thority only second to that of General Nogi, who was Huroki's only ranking officer in the allied camp.
 The occasion which had brought about this conference was the failure of the Mexican system of espionage to secure any accurate information as to conditions immediately north of the border.
 This was due to the uncommonly thoroughgoing and tireless- system of patrols organized by Donald Parr and maintained by Patria and her neigh bors.
 For several weeks spy after spy had sought to penetrate the lines-and in- yariably chad been obliged to give up the attempt. No less than three, through unchronicled mischance, had vanished utterly and inexplicably. And no information of any real value had been reported back to headquarters by those who, acting under instruction. had confined their efforts to long-dis- tance observation with the aid of powerful binoculars. They saw Pa tria's biplanes hanging in the skies or swiftly coursing through them; but that was all.
 And hour by hour it was believed by all those present at this conference. the moment drew nearer when the word to advance would be given out by Tokyo.
 Tt is not only humiliating." Hu- roki was declaring, '.it is madness, downright madness, to contemplate q movement in force without first-hand information as to what this accursed girl is up to. It Is insensate folly to underestimate her ability and anxiety to hinder and embarrass us. It is all very well for you gentlemen"-he ad- dressed himself superficiaily to Ze- lava and Torreon-''to point to our forces and say the United States can muster nothing to withstand it. That is true-as far as we know. But you make the mistake of thinking you have only the regular army and the National Guard to reckon with. You have something else-this puny slip of a girl, this insignificant Patria Charming. I know her, as you do not :; nnd I tell you she is like a living flame of patriotism; she is intelligent

% imagine she Is taking no steps 10 prepare trap for us? l tell you, we must knowl Your spies have thus far failed; we can employ none Of ours, for it would be fatal to have Il Japanese caught in an act of es- pionage."
 What would you suggest, thenF TOrreOn asked thoughtfully.
 Find some way to stimulate the ef- ficiency of your system. Get us some trustworthy information-no matter how"
 If I may make a suggestion" Ze- laya ventured. At a nod from Nogi he proceeded, pulling at his mustache to mask the smile of relish with which he anticipated permission to commit yet another atrocity on American soil.
 "It is long time since we have broken the peace of the border here abOuts. And these Americans have short memories. Let me send a few a mere handful-of my men to exc cute a flying raid on the Charming ranch. I will guarantee results"
 "How so?" Nogi demanded.
 Zelaya bent over the map and with the blunt end of a greasy forefnger in- dicated a certain point.
 "Here is a house fully twenty miles from the hacienda" he said. "It is the home of the man named Morgan, ranch foreman. He lives there with his son, his sister and his mother-his wife is dead. Both Morgan and his sister are deep in the confidence of the Senorita Charming. Let my men bring in either of these ."
 He paused and showed his teeth in a smile of gruesome significance. And will promise to induce him-or her to tell us everything we want to know"
 Eagerly Huroki's eyes sought the face of his commander in chief. It told him, however, nothing. Impas- sively General Nogi deliberated; it was nearly two minutes later when he delivered his verdict.
 "Let this thing he done," he said and rose, ending the conference.
 "PEAcE WITH HONOR"
 Gomez was the name of the man chosen by Zelaya to do the work he had uggested-"Gomez the Killer" was the sobriquet by which he was known to his fellows; a Quiet-man- nered. sad-faced Mexican of something a little under the average build of his breed.
 Listening gravely to the instructions of his superior, he nodded gentle com prehension, and sallied forth to exc cute Zelaya's will with no more com passion in his heart than he would have felt if ordered to exterminate all but one or two of nest of rattle snakes.
 He journeyed northward that night by motorcycle, and spent the following day in what appeared to be desultory riding about the country just south of the border, pausing at the dwelling of his friend and that to pass the time of day.

She must defeat that purpose. either " escaping or by bringing her own ieath about In attempting to escape. She dared not think of the horror that ny behind, lest it unnerve her and make her fail. u
 Leaving the open country. the rasf PTS took to the highroad. If they had aluded the patrols. they did not hope 'or long to go unpursued. Their safest ,ourse lay in open flight by the fastest practicable route to the hills. They spared neither their horses nor thefn- selves. is-

calls. Then he retired to well-earned. rest.
 Iu the gray dusk of the next dawn twenty mounted and armed Mexicans rendezvoused with the Killer at point some two miles south os the boundary line of the Charming ranch, and about twenty miles from its ha- cienda.
 He was well-informed as to the hab- It's of the patrol-both that maintained by the United States government and that which Patria Charming had or ganized. Since it was the custom for raiding parties to cross the border by night or in earliest dawn. Gomez re- trained from doing anything as com monplace. He recognized no necessity for clash with the patrols when 1t could be avoided by the exercise of 6 little patience.
 Conducting his command to a point where they could skulk under cover of wooded ground, secure from spying eyes, he secuted on afoot to a spot whence, lying at length on the crest of little hill, he could spy through the undergrowth that concealed hlm.
 Below him, just beyond shallow arroyo. lay the Morgan homestead.
