visitors all day. At noon bountiful
enread of delectable viands such as
univ Dawson women can prepare,
consisting of fried chicken, salads,

This was supplementary to delicious
barbecue prepared by committee of

charge of this feature of the oc-
casion.
Invited to meet the guests were the
trustees of the Dawson church and
their families and the board of stew
ards and their families, and this So
cial hour preceding the business was
most enjoyable.
At 2:30 o'clock the meeting was
called to order by Chairman Laing,
and Mr.. Walter McMichael, of Cuth-
bert was elected secretary. The pur-
pose of the meeting was stated by
the chair.
Mr. L. G. Council, representing
Americas, made a hard fight in pre-
senting what he claimed to be the
many superior advantages offered by
that city. He closed with an impas-
stoned appeal to those gathered to
dispose of the question to cast their
votes for Americas as a matter OF

OPEN COTTON BOLLS
BROUGHT TO THE NEWS
Are Reported in Numerous Fields
and the Staple Will Soon Be
Rolling Into the City.

Saturday Mr.. G. B. Mcneil, who
superintendent Mr.. w. H. Gurr's
farm in the southern part of the
county, brought to The News office
two open bolls of cotton. Mr.. Nc
neil reports that open bolls are
numerous on the farm, and on a
number of stalks he has seen as many
as two.
A number of farmers who were in
the city Saturday reported that they
had seen open cotton in their fields.
If there is not too much rain and the
weather continues hot picking will be
begun, and in a short time the bales
will be rolling into the city by the
hundreds.

justice, Dawson having for SO long
enjoyed the distinction of keeping
the presiding elders home. While
Mr.. Council made attractive offer of
what Americas proposed it was a
matter of surprise that nothing
definite or tangible was presented.
On the other hand those who spoke
for Dawson submitted plans and speci-
fications for Improvements on the
present residence, which will call for
an expenditure of from $4,000 to
$4,000, Judge J. G. Parks and Mr..
W. B. Parks in arguing for Dawson
fully covered the ground, and to
clinch the argument that Dawson is
the best location produced map of
the district showing it to be near the
center. Mr.. N. M. Weaver, of Cuth-
bert, also made telling speech in
favor of Dawson, and presented a
side of the case that no doubt influ-
enced votes.
After arguments pro and con in
which there was a good deal Of pep"
a vote was taken and the result was
II to s in favor of the parsonage re-
naming at Dawson.
There is general satisfaction that
the matter which has hung fire for
so long has been finally settled.
While it is generally admitted that
Americas is one of the best towns in
Georgia and would be most attrac-
tive home for the presiding elder
there was no good reason for remov-
ing the parsonage from Dawson.
A motion was adopted that Daw-
son pay one-third of the expense of
repairing the parsonage, and that the
remaining two-thirds be prorated to
the churches according to ministerial
support. A motion also prevailed
that the trustees of the district par
sonage and J. A. Laing serve as a
committee to look after the repair
work.
Each committeeman of the special
district parsonage committee was in
structed to serve as the collector of
the amount that was assigned to his
charge by October 1, 1920.

new POINT IN
TRIANGLE CASE
OF GRACE luSK

Sentimentalism as byproduct OF
crime is not confined to Chicago
/ There is small comfort in that, but
we can forget our local distress for
moment in contemplation of the case
of Miss Grace Lusk in Wisconsin
with it's evidence that others are as
soft headed as ourselves.
Miss Lusk is serving a sentence of
twenty-one years for killing the wife
Of her paramour. The community is
now at work to release her. The Wau-
kesha county public has forgotten or
forgiven her error of judgment in the
choice of victim. Had she killed the
man in the case, according to we'll es
tablished precedent, she probably
would have been set free Immediate
ly.
She had set the stage effectively
and played out the act according to
the accepted rules by firing two bull
lets into her own body. She did not
provide the standardized diary, but
she had letters which served as well.
The suicide attempt was perfect. 1t
brought her into court white and
shaken in way to have the best pos
slble effect upon jury. The shooting
left her victim dead, but it left her
with life and excellent prospects of
liberty
!. That is standard practice. In San
Francisco it has been noted for many
years that perosns contemplating sui
eide find it easy to jump from the rear
end of the ferryboat into the bay.
Most OF them are rescued. One has
never been known to jump from the
front end of ferryboat.
Miss Lusk's only pvariation from
standard practice has kept her in
prison for two years, That was in
deed an error, but she may be recon
Iclled by the thought that perhaps af-
ter all she is pioneer in a new meth
cd OF eliminating the irritating point
OF the triangle. Why should the man
be the only possible victim? Why not
occasionally, as Miss Lusk did, kill
the woman? 1t is usually the extra
woman, the wife, who stands in the
way.
II such a precedent is establisheo
by the release of Miss Lusk the tri-
angle business should flourish much
better than under the established
practice of the free killing of the
man IN the case. = Chicago Daily
Tribune.

MEAN TRICK BY
UNKNOWN MAN
Automobile Driver Knocks Down
Little Reedsburg Girl and Does
Not Stop

An unknown driver Of Ford car,
who was accompanied by lady COM
panion, has aroused the Indignation
and ire Of every resident of this city
who has heard of his escapade. Driv-
ing along North Park street about
half past four Wednesday afternoon
this party struck little Elizabeth
Edwards, daughter of DR.. and Mrs.
A. G Edwards, who was playing in
the street in front of the family resi-
dence knocking her to the pavement.
Just two people saw he accident, and
these say that the driver of the car
looked around, saw the child lying on
the street, and instead of stopping to
learn the result of his apparent care
lessness, opened his car wide to the
limit, and faded away into the gath
ering dusk.
Fortunately the child was only
stunned and soon regained conscious
ness. She is much improved at pres
ent.
But it is not the accident itself that
has reused the indignation of friends
and all who have heard Of it. This
poor excuse of a man put his own
personal safety ahead of the life of
the disheveled bundle of innocent
childhood he left lying in the street,
and it is probably just as we'll for
him that his identity has not been
discovered. Reedsburg would be as
hamed to own him as a citizen, and
it is not likely that any other COM
munity would clamor for he honor.
