Visitors Seeking
investments Leave
for Southern Home

George E. Dismukes and wife, who
have been investigating certain AL
askan projects in this and the In
terror districts, with the view of be-
coming financially interested, de-
parted for the South yesterday morn
ing on the steamer Yukon.
While in the Interior, Mr.. and
Mrs, Dismukes spent some time in
the Mckinley National Park and re-
turned quite enthused with the seen
ic grandeur, the wild game animals
viewed and the future possibilities
of the park as mecca for tourists.
Mr.. Dismukes is but one of many
who are agreed on the point that
the tourist crop of Alaska will even
tually exceed all other resources, pro-
viding proper means are brought
about, wherein the Territory will re-
ceive the proper advertising and
publicity.

the railway, while in truth he wa.
not over two weeks or less, as | saw
the gentleman arrive at Seward
Now how can anyone determine tn,
merits of railway in such a shor
| time. Would you like someone Il
visit your western state and in tel
days tell you where you were al
wrong.
Picture Alaska as one-fifth the size
of the United States and man ira
wells this railway 465 miles and then
he knows all about the country
and this being his first trip north
Alaska is broader and richer in
mining and agricultural possibilities
than the states citizen can compre.
bend. A large area never gets down
to zero weather, many miles never
colder than above zero.
The railway in question is man
aged by the most competent men
to be found in railroading and it
will become self-supporting as quick
as any road in the states. The rev
enue is increasing with the Fair
banks development and local mining
along the right of way.
Alaskans are satisfied with Alas
ka, but they do get tired Of poll
ticians' meddling into affairs that
do not concern the outsider. Every
summer some Washington mahog-
any chair holders get free tickets
to Alaska and spend so much time
in starched shirts that they never
get down to brass tacks, as it were,
by putting on hunting shirt and
outing shoes and mingling with the
crowd to learn all the God qualities
of the gentlemen of the north and
their needs.
The Alaskan is a man Of little
complaint. He is pioneering the
land as the pioneers of Oregon once
did and if you trace history you will
find our President Lincoln in his
young political days was offered the
governorship Of Oregon and refused
it because it was wild and rugged
west. Please let Alaska not have
any more politicians of the fault
finding kind visit its shores, for the
dear old pioneers of Alaska have
done so much for it to pass it now
On to the next generation for care
full handling, but not bungling by
such as Mr. Free
G. j. Wight.

STORES REMAIN
OPEN THURSDAY

Evidence that the merchants and
storekeepers are looking forward 20
an early pick up in business, came
in the form of an announcement to-
day that all business houses in the
city would not observe Thursday as
a half holiday, closing at o'clock,
but would remain open all day.
1t abs been the custom for mer-
chants to close their establishments
halliday on Thursdays from May Is
to September /, but with the early
cotton season all are of the opinion
that the trading season will get un.
derway at least two weeks earlier
this year than ever before.
Already a number of the mer-
chants report an increase in sales,
and with the large stocks they have
brought in during the past month,
it is evident that they expect a busy
fall and winter.

Indefinitely

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The

exploration program over the polar
sea this year. Curtailment of the
expeditions activities was forced by
adverse weather, which has locked

The change in plans was announc-

PARIS, Aug, 9.-Forty Bull

laid ard beat lp Theodore Kouleff

The attack was made as the Bull

as the Bulgarian visitors reached

The two men. students at a Paris

Police Dummy, Famous
Negro Character, Dead

Southwest Georgia lost it's one
outstanding negro character Tues
day when Bill Proctor, better known
as Dumb Bill' and "Police DUN
n.y." passed over the great river to
eternal rest. Death came to the
unusual negro at Montezuma, ac.
cording to telephone message re-
ceived at Leesburg, the darky's head
quarters.
The old Negroes remains arrived
in Leesburg Tuesday night and will
be inferred in the Jordan plantation
cemetery Wednesday.
Bill was both deaf and dun, but
in spite of these infections, he ira
versed the entire length of the state
at least 25 times during his life
times, and always managed to make
himself understood to his thousand
of friends.
The old negro was never known
to ride on a train, yet he traversed
the entire length of the state from
the Tennessee to the Florida line
each year in remarkable fast time.

body and very few people passed
him without saluting and calling
him by name.
Dummy" when a youth, evident
ly fostered one ambition, to become
a policeman, for from the time ne
was able to make his way over the
state he always wore policeman's
uniform and sported shining badge
and a lengthy night stick, 1t was
because of his attire that he was
dubbed "Police Dummy"
1t was always a mystery to the
people of the state how Dummy
kept himself in police uniforms.
However, it is generally believed he
begged pieces of the uniforms from
the members of the fire departments
in the various cities through which
he passed in his wanderings.
dumb Bill' was about 70 years
old, and first saw the light Of day
on the Jordan plantation in Lee
county. His mother, said to be over
100 years of age, is still living on
the Jordan plantation, and is re-

her years.
When talked to by Representa-

MANY BILLS NOT
BE- CONSIDERED
AT This SESSION
Those Which Have Not Passed
House or Senate Are Con-
sidered Doomed
ONLY THREE DAYS or
1925 SESSION REMAIN
Governor and NELL Request Adj
journmert Not Later Than
6 O'clock

ATLANTA. Aug. 19-Bills which
hadn't passed either jhe senate or
the house at tk2 era Of today, were
considered doomed. No matter what
tneT importance-or unimportance
they will have to wait two wears
except in the event of an extra
session to make their debut as laws
Of Georgia.
For tomorrow morning the house
will take up consideration of bills
passed by the senate. The senate,
just across the capitol, will begin
it's consideration Of house bills. And
this program is expected to be ad-
herred to exclusively during the
three remaining days Of the 1925
session, which comes to q close on
Saturday.
The question of just when the ses
sion viii close on Saturday is one
that, of course, cannot be answered
until the final stroke of the gavels
Of the President of the Senate and
the Speaker of the house.
Every effort is being made in
both houses, however, to avoid an
all night session. The Governor
urged members to adjourn sine die
not later than six o'clock on the aft
ernoon of the last day of the SEES
sion, and the rules committee Of
the lower branch has twice express
ed it as being the sense of that COM
mittee that adjournment should be
taken not later than that hour.
Speaker Neill has gone even fur
Their, and declared that he would
consider it a reflection on the legi
stature for the session to go over
into Sunday morhing-no matter
what hour is indicated by the clock.
A session lasting after midnight,
Mr.. Neill suggests, would be held
on Sunday, no matter how many
hours the clock that is opposite the
rostrum might be turned back.
