A Well-Known Citizen
Passes Unexpectedly
Mr.. w. N. Methvin at Cuthbert San
itarium Under Treatment.

The death OF Mr.. w. N. Methvin
occurred Friday at the Patterson SAM
tarium in Cuthbert where he had been
for ten days under treatment. 1t was
thought that he was suffering from
appendicitis, but after thorough eX-
animation the physicians decided that
was not his trouble, and an operation
was not advisable. He was supposed
to be doing fairly well, and his death
from euremic poison was unexpected.
The body was brought to Dawson
Friday and taken to the home OF his
daughter, Mrs. Howe Durham, where
the funeral service was held Saturday
afternoon at o'clock, conducted by
Rev. S. F. Lowe. Interment was IN
Cedar Hill cemetery.
Mr.. Methvin came from Quitman
county to Terrell county about twenty
years ago, and had many friends here
who will regret to learn OF his death.
He was constable of the Dawson dis
trict.
He was ffty-six years old, and is
survived by his wife and six children.
He was for years a member OF the
Baptist church, and was held in high
esteemed by all who knew him.

DAWSON WOMEN HEAR
TALK ON CITIZENSHIP
CLUB IS GIVEN INFORMATION
BY HON. w. B. PARKS ON REG
ISTRATION AND VOTING.

| Thirty-seven women gathered at the
| Log Cabin on Wednesday afternoon
for the November meeting OF the Wo-
mans Club. Each Of the eight depart
ments was we'll represented, but the
blue ribbon for attendance went to the
committee of applied education, which
reported fourteen of its fifteen mem
bers present.
Following the patriotic trend of the
program arranged by the department
of American citizenship some OF the
young matrons had decorated the as
sembly room with the national colors.
Mr.. w. B. Parks was speaker for the
day. In his usual pleasing manner he
gave the club a plain lesson on regis
tration and voting, calling special at
tention to the approaching civil cleo
tions, in which all qualified women
voters will have the right to take part.
By request Mrs. T. c. Geise read
an interesting extract from her paper
on the fine arts, soon to be delivered
before the Georgia Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs, which will celebrate its
silver anniversary in Savannah this
month.
The chairman of the division of lit
erature made a report which concerns
the public as we'll as the club, since
it has to do with the meagerness of
the school library. If the Dawson high
school is to have much-coveted place
on the state accredited list its library
must be increased by two hundred
volumes before Prof. ]. S. Stewards
Visit of inspection in February. This
can be easily accomplished by contri-
buttons from the private libraries OF
Dawson. Books of scientific and his
toric nature and recognized English
classics are desired. Those wishing to
contribute to this cause may communi-
cate with Miss Louise McNulty.
A most enjoyable number on the
program was a piano solo by Miss
Mary Lowrey, a student in the DaW-
son high school, Through the efforts
of the division of music the club is
now able to state with just pride that
the newly acquired piano is in place,
and is pronounced by Mr.. LonSberg
to be in excellent condition. The pos
session of this instrument is long
stride forward in making the Log
Cabin a community center. Indeed,
plans for the organization of a glee
club are already we'll started, and the
music lovers of Terrell county are cor
daily invited to join. Watch for furth-
er announcements.
Committees from the public welfare
department acted as hostesses for the
afternoon, and not only served refresh
ments, but distributed in the form OF
attractive favors many new recipes to
each of which was added a memoran-
dunn of the food values that make up
a we1l-balanced meal.

CITY SHOULD CLEAN UP

Nothing So Impresses Visitors as a

Dawson should be swept and gar

Sale, which, it is expected, will bring
crowds of people here for each of the

Nothing so impresses visitors as
clean streets and we'll kept lawns.
There is a city ordinance against
throwing paper or other trash on the
streets, but a walk about the business
section will convince one that the law
is wholly disregarded. We need a gen
eral cleanup to put everything in ship
shape for company. This is a very i'm

Two Freight Trains

One Engine and -Four Box Cars De
rallied. No One Seriously Hurt.

TdlleQ. mo OHe OCllOuS1y A1uA l.
About o'clock Friday afternoon, at
the junction of the Central and the
Seaboard Air Line railroads, a wreck
occurred when two freight trains at
tempted to cross at the same time.
It seems that a nOrthbound Central
freight, with Engineer Schaffer at the
throttle, ran into a southbound Sea
board train, with Engineer Reed at
the throttle.
The Central's engine struck the box
car next to the tender of the Sea
boards engine, with the result that the
Centra1's engine and two box cars
were derai1ed, the head of the engine
being rammed into an embankment.
Two box cars of the Seaboard were
practically demolished. The freight
boxes contained some merchandise,
which was damaged, but the loss is
not heavy. No one was seriously hurt,
though some OF the trainmen were
bruised and considerably shaken up.
The OILS Central passenger tram
was held at Dawson until q o'clock
Saturday morning, when the tracks
had all been cleared.

The Tax Revision Hearings,

The Senate finance committee will
take up the question OF tax revision
next week. Hearings will begin Tues
day or Wednesday.
Two things stand out prominently.
Taxation needs revision. The present
assessments were made in war times.
under war pressures and conditions,
and therefore made in haste. They
served their purposes fairly well. But
conditions now are different. The war
has been over nearly two years and IA
half. Some sources of revenue no
longer yield as at first. Hence. new
sources must be found. and tapped.
And there arises the question which
Congress must decide: What sources?
The government needs a large
amount Of money. Our bills, notwith-
standing the restored peace. continue
huge. They cannot be shirked. They
are likely to continue huge for some
years to come. The war has imposed
obligations which must be met. and
can only be met in businesslike way
by frank acknowledgment OF their
existence.
Here, then. is question in which
all men. and particularly business
men. are interested. These hearings.
therefore. should bring out important
information and suggestions. In open
ing its doors to the public the Senate
committee invites both. 1t needs both.
1t is on the eve of preparing a meas
ure intended to supply the govern
ment's revenue necessities. with as
fair a distribution Of the burden i'm.
posed as possible.
Let US hope that business men may
respond to the committees invitation
in numbers and with data serving the
purpose the committee has in mind
and the country at heart.

Old Times Come Again.

The President has many callers,
and manages to see them all. Some
have business with him. Some desire
simply to pay their respects. Others
have in purpose speaking words of
approval of what he has done since
assuming the duties Of his Office. and
wishing him good luck for the future.
Politics is absent. In this company
are republicans. democrats, socialists
and men and women without party
classification. All alike make pleasant
reports as to their reception.
1t is to be noted with qualification
that among the callers are many sena-
tors and representatives. both parties
contributing. Sometimes republicans
and democrats call together, and are
received with equal cordiality.
Connection thus between the White
House and Capitol Hill seems to have
been re-established With the Presi-
dent visiting Capitol Hill when he has
business there, and legislators visiting
the White House when they have
business there, should make for such
agreeable relations between the two
localities as will inure to the benefit
of the country.
Such were the conditions when Mr.
Mckinley was President; and that
time is often described as one worthy
of remembrance and imitation. 1t is
said. indeed. that no better fortune
could befall the country than a re.
vival Of the respect that existed then
between the executive and the legis.
lative branches Of the government,
and the cooperation the feeling pro.
