The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1917-02-20
From the Triton Gazette.

To bolster a tagging cause, the
politicians who began the agitation
for an extra session of the general
assembly are now trying to use the
Confederate veterans as a catspaw
to pull out the chestnuts which, for
some reason, they consider so delect-
able.
About the most preposterous and
absurd proposition we have had in
this cataclysm of absurdity is the
proposal to call the general assembly,
together, at cost of 100000, in ex-
traordinary session for the purpose
of passing an appropriation to pay
the old soldiers approximately $47,-
600! An expense of nearly fifty
per cent of the gross receipts!
No wonder Georgia, one of the
richest states in the South, is so Of
ten called bankrupt, when men who
aspire to direct its affairs suggest
such reckless extravaganza.
All this, because the general as
sembly, at its last session, failed to
make provision to pay one of the
states maturing obligations. Once
before, this same body has been call
ed in extra session to make good
failure to do what the law and the
needs of the state required. Are we
to continue to call the members back,
at the taxpayers expense, to make
good the faults of omission? And

Only rs Per Cent as Many Negroes
on Farms as Last Year-Diver-

sihed Farming the Cause.
A prominent Terrell county official
who has visited every section of the
county during the last few weeks
gives out the statement that the farm
ers will average only IS per cent as
much labor as was used last year.
The cause of such a status is posi-
bly, due to the exodus of negroes to
the north and east as we'll as the fact
that experts say diversified farm
ing won't require as much labor as
was necessary under the one crop
system"
The average cotton acreage will be
about ten acres to the pillow, or one
third as much as was formerly plant
ed. The balance will be devoted to
peanuts, velvet beans and like crops.
