NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Boxing pro-
moters are expected to begin bidding
today for bout between Billy Miske.
the ST. Paul light-heavyyeight, and
FRED Fulton, the Minnesota giant. Al
though Fulton towers above Miske,
the showing the latter made when he
defeated Charley Weinert last night
in ten rounds, promoters believe,
would justify the match.

LIBERTY LOAN BOND
COMMITTEE APPOINTED

Editor Dawson News; | beg to adj
wise YOU that I have been requested
to appoint a committee to assist in
distributing the liberty loan bonds. 1t
is self evident that at present the
most important function the United
States can perform in the great war
is to finance it. We had far better
offer on the altar of our country it's
dollars than the blood of its sons.
Our government must have the
money. 1t is called on to finance a
war that requires almost unlimited
funds, and amounts are being ex-
pended almost beyond the concep-
ton of the human mind.
1t is a question how it shall be
raised, whether by voluntary contri-
button, for which the government will
give in return its promise to pay
and for which it will pay interest,
or by taxes which will never come
back to US. In one instance it is a
voluntary offering of our means; in
the other it is a conscription of our
dollars. The people of Germany are
pouring their millions into their coun-
try's treasury, and l can hardly con
ceive that free America shall be less
responsive to its needs in this hour
of peril. ] have named on this COM

TRY TO GET NEGRO
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
COLORED CITIZENS BEGIN A
MOVEMENT TO SECURE NEW
STATE INSTITUTION HERE.

The Georgia legislature, at its last
session, appropriated $4,000 for the
establishment of an agricultural, in
dustrial and normal school for the
negroes of the state as a branch of
the University of Georgia. The third
section of the act says "the governor,
together with the attorney general
and state superintendent of schools,
shall be authorized to receive from
any county, or any of the citizens
thereof, a donation of tract of land
in such county, not less than one
hundred acres, on which to erect the
school, together with any additional
donation in the way of buildings or
money" and in the event there are
two or more offers the above officials
shall select the location.
A number of progressive negro cit
liens of Dawson are taking steps to
make an effort to have the school To-
Gated here, and to that end have APP
pointed committee consisting of G.
C. Hill, Walter Richardson, j. C.
Styles and Sam Graham to direct the
movement.
They will appreciate any assistance
given them.
