IMPROVEMENTS AT
STATION ARE URGED
MATTER TAKEN UP WITH SUI
PERINTENDENT OF CEN
TRIAL ON VISIT HERE.

Messrs. R. R. Marlin, H. A Petty
and J. A. Shields, on learning that
Mr.. Henry Baldwin, division superin-
tendent of the Central of Ga. railroad,
would be in Dawson Tuesday, were
promptly at the station to take up
with him the matter of continuing the
Central of Georgia and the Sea Board
Air Line railways instead of separate
passenger depots as formerly.
These representatives OF the Cham
Der of Commerce presented numerous
reasons why the present arrangement
is desired. 1t is decidedly more con
venient for the travelling public, being
more accessible and more comfortable
as a place of waiting for trains. An
other advantage is the broad paved
street leading directly from the heart
of the city to the, Central station. The
Seaboard station is wholly inadequate
for city of Dawson's size and i'm
portance, and is some distance from
the business section. After hearing
the arguments so forcefully presented
Mr.. Baldwin gave the committee
reason to believe that he was ready
to cooperate with them in every way
possible, and would carefully consider
the suggestions made that a large
shed be erected and a concrete walk
laid for the protection and comfort of
the travelling public.
In the meantime the Chamber of
Commerce is alive to the city's best
interest, and will leave no stone I'M
turned to bring about these improve
mentS.

who presented the testimony OF scient-
lists that death, poisonings and the
drug habit result from taking many
so-called medicines on the market
This was pointed out as one of the
most common evils that is undermin-
ing the health OF those. ignorant OF
what goes into the preparation OF
these nostrums. The leading medical
men OF the world have declared that
alcohol in any form is narcotic pol
son, and has no place in the treat
ment of tuberculosis or common colds,
approplexy and snake bite, and neither
is it good for feeble and old people or
Young children. They further state
that the alcohol rub is fallacy, olive
oil being superior. The Investigations
of these scientific experts is also
against many of the soft drinks as
containing poison that makes nervous
wrecks. They further declare that
most of the headache powders con-
tain very dangerous drug that de-
presses the heart and in many cases
cause death.
The anti-narcotic fight of the W..
T. c. U. is opening the. eyes OF the
public to the danger of many prepare
tons and is emphasizing the benefits
of pure air and water with sunshine
as preventive measures with the nd
eral use of fresh vegetables and fruits
as a part OF wholesome. diet Tor

NOW SHIP LEMONS
 ID EAST BY WATER

Considerable interest has been aroused among the citrus growers as to the experimental shipments of lemons from the coast of California to New York via the Panama canal. Owing to the high freight rate, lem ons are shipped in from Italy by wa ter at much less expense than the rail rates from the coast. According to reports received at the chamber of commerce, the second shipment of 25 carloads t,y boat reacher it's des- tination in very good condition.
 Zorns Weekly Revfew of April 30 has been received by the chamber of commerce, ard says in regard to this shipment:
 "No imported lemons were sold this week, but the offerings of California lemons were more liberal than usual, consisting of 11,400 boxes, which ar rived by s. s Charles H. Cramp and 14 cars which had been shipped by the usual au-rail route. As had been generally expected. the cargo of the Cramp was in much better condition than the previous cargo. There was some decay in most lots, but except in the case of a few cars the decay was not large and the sound fruit was firm and healthy. There is no longer any doubt as to the feasibility of shipping lemons from California by water by way of the Panama canal''
 The initia, shipment of citrus fruit from California by the water route was made in January, and was ac- companied by a representative of the department. The cargo in this case | was loaded al San Pedro and sent to Philadelphia and Baltimore, where i, arrived in a highly satisfactory con- dition. A prejudice exists against cold storage lemons, so this fruit is | usually transported under ventilation without refrigeration. Carrying lemons through the heat of the cana zone without refrigeratio constitutes | a severe test This. combined witt ] the fact that the trip lasted g days gave ample opportunity to study the limitations and possibilities of tn, l water route. Conclusions indicat.
 that it may be possible to transpor
 lemons by this method, but that re
 frigeration will be desirable for tn,
 proper shipment of oranges.

LITTLE STORIES
 OF THE. TOWN

after he had found a Dort car aban- doned by joy riders on East Jefferscn street. Dewitts chauffeur abilities are well known around the shcriffs office; he never drives 8 car ard takes pleasure in the fact that l;e can't. But on this occasion Al de- cided that he would drive fine Dort
 to the sheriff's office. so he got in and started. He made all the shifts
 of gear without trouble. but the
 steering bothered him and his trail
 west on Jefferson street was zig
 zaggy.
 Unlike Revere. he did not shout,
 The Redcoats are coming" Not he. he merely monked the horn when some pedestrian became nervous
 about the wobbly course of .he car. He managed to reach the entrance 10 the jail yard without mishap and guided the car into the yard. Proudly
 he rolled up the drive to the sheriffs office, thinking how he would have the laugh on the rest of the deputies because he had driven a car at last. Whoa" yelled Dewitt as he reached for the clutch with his right | foot to come to a stop. Something | went wrong. The strange steed failed to understand the call. In stead of halting the car shot forward with a burst of speed, ran over a post, laying it flat, crushed an iron
 wheelbarrow standing on the walk. passed over a low hedge, through a couple of flower beds and on into the east lawn of the court yard. Ahou: | the middle of the lawn ths gasoline supply failed and the auto came to
 the stop desired by its driver. before
 the queer spurt of speed began. Al
 had mistaken the accelerator for the | clutch.
 l Several deputies sitting in the | sheriff's office heard Al yell Whoa and then heard the rumpus. They ran out with pistols drawn expecting 1 to find a jail break in progress. Then | they saw the stalled car in the middle of the lawn, and one of them tapped the still dazed driver on the shoulder Get out, buddie." he said, this # the end of the line"
 The deputies avow that if the cal had not run out of gas Dewitt would have driven eastward indefinitely 1 But Al claims the gas did not fail;
 he says he merely found out how te saw whoa" to the iron steed by tho
 time it had reached the middle oi the lawn.

stump.d by Northern Light.

The unexpected visit of the aurora borealis Saturday night stumped more than one Phoenician. Many who had never before seen the northern lights and sought to explain to friends the cause of the disturbance, made sorrowful but convincing argu- ment in support of their views. One of the best was by an Arizona Re publican employee.
 "Someone is monkeying with the lights he told fellow employees.
 ..Tu bet the police will sure raise h- if they catch those Mexicans. he continued, taking it for granted that his view had been grasped inn mediately by his listeners.
 Another employe of The Republi- can. a young man we'll known about town. had never heard of the north : ern lights. He was promptly in formed that the peculiar phenome- non could be observed only in a dark room: that the darkness would be lighted immediately if artificial lights were shut off. He spent half an hour in dark corners before some kind person summoned him outdoors to observe the rare eight.
 Most remark able, however, were the theories advanced by some Of tho persons who telephOned the news paper office One woman said shs understood the lights were reflected rays from the big searchlights of tbattleship off the California coast A man wanted to know if 1t were tru' the borealis was the reflection or th' sun on the ice of the far nortn- Ans so 1t went.

Lady Astor Given
 Severe RebukeBy
 Commons Speaker
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, May 15.-Lady Astor re- ceived a rebuke from the speaker of the house of commons the other day. During question time a member had asked a question about the murder of Kate Carroll, who was murdered, it is charged, by armed Sim Feiners be- cause she had written letters anent illicit drinking in her neighborhood. Lady Astor intervened with a supple mentary question and holding up her hand asked the house several times to listen atrentively as she had some
 thing important to say.
 The speaker asked. Will the noble lady put her question without lec- turing the house?"
 Lady Astor's question. proved to be a. request that the government con- trol the liquor traffic in Ireland so
 that such crimes would not occur. The Irish attorney general said this particular crime was the outcome or illicit liquor traffic, but Lady Astor | persisted that all kinds of drink traf- | fic, illicit or otherwise, should be abolished. The matter thereupon
 dropped.
