TALK WITH A DAWSON MAN
MR.. NORTON TELLS SOME
THING OF INTEREST TO
DAWSON FOLKS.

There's nothing more convincing
than the statement of someone you
know and have confidence in. That's
why this talk with Mr. Norton, of
E. Sixth avenue, should be mighty
helpful here in Dawson:
J. NJ. Norton, retired policeman, SIS
E. Sixth avenue, says; MY back
was lame and suffered with a, dull,
heavy headache in the small of it.
The kidney secretions passed very
irregularly | had severe pains in
the top Of my head, too. Doan's
Pills, from Lees Drug Store, rid me
Of the ailments"
Mr.. Norton is only one OF many
Dawson people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Pills. If your back
aches-if your kidneys bother you,
don't simply ask for kidney remedy
ask distinctly for DOANS PILLS,
the same that Mr. Norton had the
remedy backed by home testimony

Once Headed Grain Dealers.
AT one time he was president Of the
National Grain Dealers Association
which he helped to establish. Another
time he served as president OF the In
diana state board OF agriculture.
McCray's pride was 3,ooo-acre
stock farm near Kentland, called Or
chard Lake stock farm, and was the
birth place OF many OF the World 5
greatest Hercfords.
During the Southeastern tar last
fan he spent a week in Atlanta IN per-
sonal charge OF herd OF blooded cat
tie from his farm. -.
He was member of the federal
live stock advisory committee during
the world war
Caught in Defation Period.
When he became governor OF In
diana three years ago McCray did not
believe in himself any more than the
people did. As a successful breeder OF
blooded cattle he was probably the
best advertised private citizen in the
state.
The magic of his name intoxicated
not only others but himself. as events
have proved, Finally, he became con-
WINGED that he could do no wrong.
Caught in the reaction from world
war currency initiation he sat in the
office of governor and forged notes
personally endorsed them, sent false
financial statements to banks far and
wide to assist in marketing them, and
used the proceeds. 1t has been estab-
lished that there was some speculation
in grain. And he pyramided his already
extensive land holdings. He gambled
with his fancy wherever it led him.
In so doing he borrowed not only
from banks but from individuals,
wherever he could, doing whatever he
thought was necessary to get funds
to save his property.

STATE CONVENTION
MESSRS. MCDOWELL AND GLIB
SON REPRESENTED TERRELL
COUNTY AT GATHERING.

Georgia's lilly white" republicans
held a convention in Atlanta on We'd
nesday and elected delegates to the ma
tional republican convention at Cleve-
land, Ohio, favorable to the nomlna-
ton of President Coolidge.
Terrell county was represented i'll
the convention by r. E. Mcdowell
and G. A. Gibson. Roll call revealed
800 out of 412 delegates and alternates
named to attend the convention were
present. OF this number eight were
women and two were negroes, the lat
ter being representatives from the
Third and Tenth districts One of the
latter was Ed Richardson, of Marshall
vile, for many years a prominent me-
gro republican OF this district He was
elected delegate to the national CON
vention.
Tumlin Sounds Keynote.
Albert n. Tumlin, a prominent
banker OF Cave Springs, Ga, was
chairman of the convention, and
sounded the keynote when he said he
was thankful that at last, after 80
years Of patient waiting, there was a
republican organization in Georgia to
which a man could belong with a
sense of pride"
J. L. Phillips, head OF this faction
of the Georgia party, was chosen ma
tiona1 committeeman, and Mrs. julia
r. Tilson national committee woman,
With Mr. Phillips elected as nation
al committeeman the committee filled
the vacancy on the state central COM
mittee, of which he was chairman, by
electing L. H. Crawford, the present
vice chairman, to the Craftsmanship.
Edison Woman Vice Chairman.
Will Richards, of Jasper, was elect
ed vice chairman, as was Mrs. Ruby
Seely Harris, of Edison. A. N. Tum-
lin, of Cave Springs, was named treas
urer; John r. Barclay, OF Rome, sec
rotary, and Mrs. Fred S. Gould, o
Atlanta, assistant secretary.
The other faction of the Georgia re-
publican party, headed by Henry Lin
coin Johnson, held its convention sew
eral weeks ago and named delegate;
to the Cleveland convention favorable
to Coolidge 1t is expected that ;
spirited fight will be precipitated OF
the convention floor over the seating
lof Georgia delegates.
The fight now being waged between
the Phillips faction and the factor
headed by johnson was evidenced
when Ben J. Davis, negro editor anC
secretary of the latter organization
and other leaders OF the same grouI
were denied admission to the conven
ton hall. Davis was formerly OF Daw

Speaker Gillett's Candidacy.

Announcement by Speaker Gillett
that he is a candidate for nomination
TO the United States Senate Is calcu-
lated to stimulate interest in the
Massachusetts political situation, with
a sidelight on national politics as well.
In the circumstances of his decision
to run for the senatorship it is safe
to assume that his candidacy will be
under the auspices of the administra.
ton, making a powerful adjunct to his
prospects of receiving the nomination
in the primaries. His announcement
was made after frequent conferences
with President Coolidge and William
NJ. Butler, present manager of Presi-
dent Coolidges pre-convention cam
paign and prospective chairman of the
Republican national committee.
Speaker Gillett had deferred his
senatorial ambition pending the pros
pect of Mr.. Butler making the race,
and after the latter's decision not to
run waited to give Gov. Cox first call
on the candidacy. Both gentlemen
being out of the running, the Speaker
stepped to the front and is in the fight
to the finish. The national aspect is
that his retirement from Congress, as
he will not stand for denomination as
a representative in Congress. opens a
fight for the speakership of the next
House IL the Republicans organize
the House. There are three potential
candidates for that Office. Mr.. Long
worth of Ohio Mr.. Madden of Illinois
and Mr.. Wood of Indiana. 1t is ex-
pected that the speakership will go
to the middle west, and these three,
with possibly others. will make a spir-
tied contest.
Should the Speaker win the nomina-
ton it will enliven the campaign &or
election, as his opponent will be Sena-
tor David I. Walsh, recognized as a
strong figure in Massachusetts, poll
tics. The Republicans want that
Democratic seat in the Senate very
much. and the contest between these
two outstanding Massachusetts leaders
will be earnest and spectacular.

Potomac Power Hearing.

In the course of the hearing on the
Potomac power project by subcom-
mittee of the House District commit
tee various phases of the plan are
being discussed by men having init
mate technical knowledge of hydro
electric matters and of details of the
Potomac plan in particular. The evil
dencc so far indicates that no great
reduction in the cost of electric cur
rent is to be looked for by household
ers and other small consumers, but
that an important price reduction may
be expected by public utilities, manu-
facturers, and those users Of electric
ity who get special rate for quantity
consumption which guarantees a
steady load for the generating plants.
The greater cost of electric current is
shown to be for distribution, over
head and interest and profit on in
VeStment.
Maj. O'Connor of the Engineer
Corps. who has carried on the studies
of the plan devised and reported by
Maj. Tyler, told, the subcommittee
that the present cost of generating
electricity is II mills per kilowatt
hour. the straight production cost be-
ing mills and fixed charges on the
generating plant mills. At the pres
ent cost of 10 cents per kilowatt hour
to small consumers, S.9 cents is for
distribution. general expenses and
profit on investment. Figures for
each of these divisions of cost were
not given. Under the Tyler plan it
is not proposed that the government
shall enter the business of distribut-
ing power TO private consumers, but
it would distribute current to govern
ment departments and workshops.
That the Potomac project is prac-
ticabe, that it would develop a large
amount of power, would slightly re-
duce the price of electricity to small
consumers and materially reduce it to
large consumers, is declared. There is
evidence that all the electric power
developed will find u ready market
in the District of Columbia and in the
adjacent territory to which il can be
transmitted without disproportionate
line loss or transmission cost" The
cheapcning of power TO large buyers
would benefit present manufactures
in the District and perhaps encourage
extension of desirable manufactures.
The estimate of cost for the Little
Falls part of the project is $13,600,000
and for the whole project, including
Little Falls, Great Falls, Great Ca
capon, Shenandoah and South Branch,
s44, ,421 900, and the Army engineer
told the committee that the estimates
were scaled high so that they would
be sure to cover the ultimate cost.
The Potomac project stands for a
major plan in the development of
Washington. The river would work
for US and lessen the amount of coal
Washington draws from the mines
and which year by year becomes
more expensive.

McCray Case Brings Demand

new realization of the obligations
resting upon the public servants of
the nation and of every state

corrupt government and is not one

he will not even make the Republican
party responsible for him with too

attack to the clique responsible for

that perhaps a little of the reverence

Customs Workers. Paw
Head of Association Asserts Good
Policy Requires Increase.

To the Editor of The Star:
Customs employees Of the United
States consider that a great injustice
was done tho $500 employees of the
customs service when they were
denied the two and one-kalf million
dollar increase in appropriation
necessary to place the salaries and
the quality of the personnel on an
adequate basis to collect the revenue
derived from the duties on imports.
In public speeches recently increase
been advocated, because the Post
Office Department is almost self
sustaining. We agree that postal en-
ployes should have the raise recon-
mended, in order to meet the cost of
living, which does not come down as
predicted and expected. The living
cost is the same to the customs en-
ploye as to the postal employe.
But what about the customs en-
ploye-whose qualifications are a
grade higher than that of postal en-
ployes, whose qualifications are tech
nicaI in almost every branch, and
who still receive an average of two
hundred dollars less per annum than
city postal carriers and clerks do at
present.
The customs service is not only
self-sustaining, but in 1898 turned
into the Treasury $.977 of every 81
coIlected-to make up the deficiencies
of the postal and other departments,
and for whatever purpose Congress
sees fit to appropriate.
The remark was made in the halls
of Congress that the customs en-
ployes are on a parity with other
as an unprejudfced investigation and
statistics will prove. The two and
one-half million increased appropria-
tion would not have been adequate
to place the customs service on such
parity.
This lack of parity results in de-
creased efficiency and morale of the
employees, high-class employees no
longer entering the service, and
many leaving it. One collector of
custom testifies that the customs
service now gets the discard of COM
mercial establishments, whereas it
formerly drew upon them for their
best employees.
This condition is reflected in in
ferior service to the Importer who
pays the duties, and who on that
account demanded the increased ap-
preparation mentioned, for the good
Of the service.
