OPPOSE FINANCIAL
! AID FOR RAILROADS
Republican Senators Also
/ Against Postponement of
! R. R. Legislation.
Determined opposition has arisen

Determined opposition has arisen
among some republican senators
against the proposal, said to find IA
vor with the House, that Congress
pass temporary legislation for the
financial aid of the railroads, to be
handed back to private ownership
January 1. and that general railroad
legislation be postponed until next
session to allow Congress to adjourn
after disposing of the treaty.
These senators express the appre-
hension that if this course is fol-
lowed the democrats will charge the
republican majority with having
shirked a duty. There is no question.
1T is said, that the democrats will do
so. Democrats already are taunting
the republicans with lying down on
the job" Democrats point out that
Congress has now been in session
since May Is. sufficient time to enable
calm and practical consideration of
tention to the fact that the President
gave Congress official notice more
than five months ago that lacking
congressional legislation. he purposed
returning the roads to private owner
ship January l.
Foresee Change of Democrats.
Republican senators say further
that If final disposition of the railroad
problem goes over until December
proceedings will drag along until the
presidential campaign is well under
way and the democrats be justified
in charging the republicans with in
capacity in dealing with this subject.
There is no difference of opinion
anywhere upon the proposition that
settlement of the railroads future is
one of the biggest questions now
pending and fraught with Importance
tc every element of the population,
financial. commerciaf and industrial,
as well as the citizenship generally.
Director General Hines of the rail-
road administration has warned Con-
gress of the perils of further delay
in doing something to settle the dis
turbed condition of labor and finances
in connection with the railroads. 1t
was stated today in we'll informed
quarter that Director General Hines
will recommend to the President that
lie adhere to his previously expressed
determination to hand the roads back
On the first of the year.
Might Delay Returning Roads.
1t was stated. however. that should
Congress show disposition to proceed
now with the settlement of the ques-
tion, even though the proceedings
should continue beyond the present
extra session, the President might de-
lay turning the roads back. provided
he was convinced of the genuine in
tent of Congress to act.
The belief is said to be strong among
influential republican senators that a
grave political mistake will be made
in lodging the issue now, aside from
the certain dep1orable effect upon the
morale of the railroads and upon
business generally by delay.

BASKET DINNER BAR
BECUE FOR OLD VETS
ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE
HAS ARRANGED FOR A BIG
SPREAD EACH DAY.

The matter of housing the veterans
and other visitors who will be our
honored guests June 1873 has been
worked out to the satisfaction of all
interested, and the outstanding feat
ure of entertainment now engrossing
the minds of the very capable COM
mittee in charge is the final arrange
ments for public dinners.
The handling of this important job
has required careful thought and
planning to eliminate the possibility
of confusion at the last moment. To
the regret of the committee certain
restrictions are absolutely necessary,
but they confidently believe the pub
lie will fully understand and appre-
ciate the situation.
On June 18th-the first day of the
reunion-everybo in the county is
asked to come and bring a basket,
the dinner to be served picnic fash
ion. In view of the fact that sever
al hundred guests from over the state
are to be provided for only the heads
of Terrell county families are expect
ed, the same rule applying to the
homes of Dawson and everybody good
naturally acquiescing. A barbecue
on June 10th will be for the veterans
and visiting ladies only. The public
will approve this decision as the only
feasible plan for making this just
what it is intended-a successful and
happy time for the old heroes, who,
from the moment they arrive, will be
the first consideration of every citi-
zen who has proper appreciation of
the object of the reunion and the
right sort of county pride.
The veterans and official visitors as
honor guests will be served first and
be given every attention and courtesy
by the assembly, the homefolks en-
joying the spread at the second
table
If, after the oft repeated state
ments in the columns of The News
setting forth the fact that seven or
eight hundred veterans are expected
has not yet soaked into the minds of
the citizens it would seem that sur
gical operation is necessary to get the
idea fixed.
The necessity for limiting the
guests at the barbecue to veterans
and official visitors does not mean
that there will be any restrictions as
to the crowd assembling to enjoy the
day. 1t will be an easy matter for all
who wish to come to bring little
lunch. The school grounds are beau
tiful for picnic dinner, and the
buildings furnish conveniences and
comforts for thousands, if necessary.
Let everybody who will bring a box
lunch, eat it in their cars or spread
it underneath the trees, just as they
like.

Brilliant effect and exquisite taste
were happily combined in every feat
ure of the wedding of Miss Sarah
McLain and Captain Clarence Rich
ard Bush, which was a notable oc-
casion of wide interest at the Metho-
dist church Thursday evening at 7 80
o'clock.
Long before the appointed hour
the church was filled with interested
friends. The afterglow of a radiant
sunset in the twilight hour fell like
benediction on the beautiful scene,
and in the hearts of many were ten
der thoughts of the noble and honor
ed father, gone away, whose love Tor
the church was one of the ruling pas
sions of his life. There was a prayer
on many lips for his fondly cherished
little girl plighting her troth to the
man of her choice at it's sacred affairs.
The interior Of the large building
seemed like some enchanted garden
with its graceful festoons of gray
moss and smilax. Stately palms
against the organ loft formed back
ground of rich green for the count
less blooms of pink and blue ny,
drangeas banked about the chanceI
and in baskets on pedestals draped
in soft white. Through the leaves OF
the plants myriad pink lighted tapers
glowed like stars. The delicate PINK
and French blue of the decorations
were carried out in the lovely toll
lettes of the maids, which were fash,
toned of tulle, alternating in blue and
pink. They wore airy picture hats OF
the same shades and carried shep'
herds crooks wreathed in sweetheart
roses tied with pink tulle and show
cred with ragged robins. :,
The bridal party passed to the al
tar through an isle formed of pines
completing a decorative scheme DIS
