JNO. A. DAVIS SPEAKS
AT DAWSON RALLY
MADE STIRRING ADDRESS IN
PLACE OF DR.. JONES, WHO
COULD NOT BE PRESENT.

Mr.. John A Davis, of the Albany
Herald, saved the day in Dawson on
Tuesday by coming over on an hours
notice in response to an urgent ap-
peal by citizens to take the place of
DR.. Ashby Jones, who for the sec
ond time was providentially hindered
from filling an engagement here. The
hour for the speaking was almost at
hand before DR.. Jones telegram was
received, but the committee lost no
time in securing a speaker, and Mr..
Davis ready response was greatly
appreciated and placed the citizens
of the county under obligations to
him for the truly patriotic service.
The fact that DR.. Jones could not
be here and the uncertainty of get
ting another speaker interferred with
the attendance. The county was fair
ly well represented, but the number
of Dawson business men present was
anything but creditable.
After the singing of america
Prof. j. c. Dukes briefly explained
the situation and urged the united
action of the citizens in putting Ter
rell county in her rightful place in
Tie uDeIIy lOdn uTlN6. IN nJUl0S
words he presented the speaker. Mr..
Davis went at once into his subject,
and held the closest attention of a
highly pleased audience He made
no attempt at oratory, but all were
moved by the eloquence of his ap-
peal and the vivid pictures he pre-
scented of that ''far-fung battle line ,
where rests the hopes of the world.
Judge NJ. c. Edwards followed
with an appeal in which he scored
the business men of the city, con-
spicuous by their absence, and COM
mended those from the country who
had put this patriotic rally above
personal interest.
When the call was made for sub
scriptions Mr.. Davis, the speaker,
started the ball to rolling by gener-
ously taking $4,000 in bonds, which
was in addition to the splendid help
he had given in putting Dougherty
county above her quota.
This was 3 meeting arranged by
the woman's committee of the coun-
ty, and in spite of the serious handi-
caps they scored a success in the lib
eral subscriptions made by a num-
Der of Dawson's most prominent
women.

citation:
1T has been ON my mind for some
time TO thank your organization for
the very real help it has given to
America in the struggle that is con-
cerned with every fundamental ele-
ment Of national life. Your speakers.
going from community to community,
meeting people in the friendly spirit
engendered BY years Of intimate and
understanding contact, have been ef-
fective messengers for the delivery
and Interpretation Of democracy's
meanings and imperative needs. The
work that the Chsutauqua is doing has
not lost Importance because Of war,
but rather has gained new opportuni.
ties for service.
Let me express the hope that you
will let no encouragement weaken
your activities, and the people will not
fail in the support Of q patriotic insti-
tuition that may be said to be On in.
