South heeds the pleadings Of its press
and puts an end to this crime it can
only blame itself for the conse-
ouences that are to be visited upon
her through the voting power in the
national congress possessed by the
North and West. Either lynching
must 60 or the South must bow to a
closer federal supervision than has
been dreamed of. Take the bill in
troduced in the new congress by Rep
resentative Dyer, of Missouri, repub-
lican, on the very day congress met.
The Dyer bill makes lynching a fed
eral crime and all who participate in
the lynching MODS subject to fed
eral prosecution. In the event the in
dividuals concerned with the lynching
cannot be brought to justice the
Dyer bill would COMPEL the county
in which the lynching occurs to pay
into the federal treasury fine of
from $4,000 to $4,000 and this mon
ey would then be used by the govern
ment in caring for the dependents of
the victim of the mob. The Dyer act
would take the trial of the lynchers
out of the state courts and would
the fine assessed against the county
in the federal government. It gives
rise to a vision of armed soldiers pa
trolling the offices of the county treas
urer, tax collector and commission
ers.
Must Call Halt Somewhere.
Right in connection with this
threatened federal Intervention in
seeking a solution Of the race ques-
ton it ought to be pointed out that
somewhere along the line the voters
have got to call halt upon the ten
dency of administration officials OF
the government to extend the govern
ment's intermeddling with not only
the states but the individual. Already
more than dozen bills have been in
troduced in the new congress provld-
ing for all sorts of Cooperation"
with the states. This cooperation is
always sugar-coated with govern
ment appropriation, the fifty-fifty
scheme which seems so popular being
the vehicle used. This Cooperation"
in education, employment and other
channels is generously rendered on
every hand.
Broke Away From Democratic
Moorings.
The present administration SEEM
ingly cannot get away from the
thought of organizing government
that shall mother the nation. Having
failed in its government ownership
experiments. it is still willing to seek
to solve all the problems of the peo-
pie. Price fixing in peace times was
warmly espoused. Had the steel trust
not been so greedy and tried to get
all the money at once but put its
prices little lower the dream of
Secretary of Commerce Redfeld
might have been realized. Not down
cast over his failure to launch his
price fixing board Secretary Red
field, Joined by Secretary Of Labor
Wilson, has gone out to solve the
perplexities of the street railway
companies. 1t is admitted that the
recommendations of this Redfield
commission regarding fares, wages
and operation could not be enforced,
but it is urged that the decisions of
such a government agency would
have great weight in bringing about
the necessary adjustments. More fed
eral meddlers; that's all!

MR.. CARDS LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Several
weeks ago mention was made in this
correspondence of the strong proba-
bility Of efforts being made by the
republican party to force some sort
of federal Intervention in the South,
calculated to bring sharply to the
front all TIE questions bound up in
the negro problem. When the South
broke from the ancient moorings
where it's democratic faith had held
it almost from the days of the foun-
dation of the republic the element
in the republican party which has al
ways had a hankering for the waving
of the bloody shirt saw it's opportuni'
ty. 1t has been quietly at work ever
since.
First, the prohibition question
brought about a distraction in the
South which unsettled all its funda
mentals. This is not said in criticism
of the prohibitionists, it is mere re
cital of fact patent to every person
who has followed the bitter struggle
which was waged over the liquor
question. AS the prohibition strength

BANK DIRECTORS PAY TREB-
UTE TO DECEASED MEMBER
Pass Resolutions on the Death of
Late D. c. Pickett.

|
Late D. c. Pickett.
Dawson, Ga, June 8, 1919.-To
the Board of Directors, Bank of
Dawson: We, the committee appoint
ed to prepare suitable resolutions on
the death of .. C. Pickett, one of
the directors of the Bank of Daw-
son, submit the following:
| Our ranks have again been invaded
by the relentless enemy of the race
| in the deata OF our friend and fellow
citizen, tbs Hon. D. C. Pickett. This
bank has lost one of its most useful
officials and one who was always
ready to do what he could for the
good and success of the bank.
Dewitt C. Pickett was born in
Dawson, Georgia, on December 27,
1875, and died at his home here on
March 20, 1919. He was always in
terested in public affairs and was al
ways fearless and untiring in de-
Tending a friend or cause. He was
elected as Terrell county's represent
alive in the legislature in 1910, and
with the exception of one term con-
tinuously served as member of the
general assembly of Georgia up to
the date of his death. He was most
active and influential member either
as representative or senator, and was
held in the highest esteem by all who
knew him. He was taken off in the
midst of most useful and successful
life, an honest, brave man, energetic
in business. loyal and true as a
friend, kind and devoted to his fam
ily, sympathetic and generous to peo-
pie in need. Therefore be it resolved:
1. That in the death of D. c.
Pickett our bank has been sorely af-
flicted and been deprived of one of
its most highly esteemed and useful
stockholders and directors. We will
ever cherish his memory.
2. That a page of our minutes be
dedicated to him and these resolu-
lions entered thereon.
8. That to the bereaved family
of our deceased friend we extend our
sincere coincidence and assure them
that their loss is ours also.
4. That a copy of these resolu--
tions be furnished to the family and
a COPY sent to The Dawson News with
the request that the same be publish
ed. Respectfully submitted,
J. A. LANG, J. A. SHIELDS,

Bandits attempted to hold up Conrad
Brehm, Lincoln groceryman, in the
Russian district last night, who, with
his son, were the only occupants Of
the store at the time. They were
commanded to hold up their hands.
The son did so. but Brehm made
rush through the back door, being
narrowly missed by shot from the
revolver of one Of the men. The
other took a shot at the boy and
also missed. They then rushed out
side and fired at Brehm, but failed
to hit him. They then ran and later
in the evening a farmer named
Smith, living near Seward, who was
leaving Lincoln in his car, was held
up presumably by the same two
men, one of whom jumped on the
running board of the car and pre-
scented pistol at Smiths head.
