COMPLAINS OF CITY
PLANT AS NUISANCE
is A GREAT ANNOYANCE TO
NEARBY RESIDENTS. WRITES
LETTER TO THE MAYOR.

Residents of that section in which
the city's water and light plant is To-
Gated want it moved to another loca-
ton. They declare it is great NUS
ance. The following letter on the sub
ject has been addressed to the mayor:
Mr.. K S. Worthy, Mayor, City OF
Dawson Sir: The City of Daw-
son is now maintaining both private
and a public nuisance, in the opera
ton OF its water and light plant.
The lack of wisdom in locating this
plant in the residential section OF your
city cannot be questioned. The exer-
else OF the slightest judgment now
would prohibit the expansion of this
plant and dictate its removal from its
present location.
The specific trouble with the plant
consists of the noises occasioned by
escaping steam. This IS unnecessary,
and works discomfort, Inconvenience
and damage to adjacent residents and
property holders This machinery,
when operated under normal condi-
tions and load. will hardly be heard
beyond the walls of the plant building,
but when loaded abnormally, as at
present, the noise of the exhaust pipes
and the tail pipes awakens the resi-
dents from their sleep; interferes with
the usual conversation; prevents rest,
quietude and peace in the neighbor-
! hood.
The tail pipe is discharged and the
boilers blown out twice a day-usual-
ly at E a. m. and p. m. This dis
charge can be heard for half mile,
and stops conversation in that vicinity
while in progress. The result is a
shower of condensed steam over the
neighborhood.
] The SCOT from the stacks covers the
| vicinity at times, and flies into the
homes of the inhabitants, to their dis
comfort
The two exhaust pipes above men
toned should be suppressed. The first
is the exhaust pipe of the engine,
which operates the dynamo. The sec
ond is the exhaust pipe of the water
pumps, which is located on the west
side of the plant The first is on the
east side. They are both above the
ground, and apparently unmutfied. I'm
der normal conditions they cannot be
heard, but at present, when loaded
with cotton gins, street lights and the
other usual and normal load, the noise
from either or both of these exhaust
pipes disturbs every human in that
vicinity, at all hours of the day and

FIRE IN COTTON WAREHOUSE
WAS QUICKLY EXTTNGUISHED
The Sprinkler System at Lowrey &
Davidson's Place Saturated Bales.

Fire was discovered in a bale of cot
ton at Lowrey & Davidson's ware
house about midnight Friday by the
silent watchman-the sprinkler sys-
tenn, which was installed three years
ago.
The fremen and a large number OF
Dawson citizens were aroused from
their slumbers by the persistent ring
ing of the alarm gong in the ware
house. Arriving on the scene and en-
tering the warehouse through the win
dow of the sample room the firemen
found that it was only necessary to
remove the saturated bales to a safe
distance and cut off the water.
The fire had been confined to an
area OF nine bales in thickly packed
storage room, and only one bale sui
fered loss of more than a pound. The
entire loss amounted to only few
dollars.
This was the first time that either
Of the modern automatic sprinkler
systems installed in Dawson's three
warehouses had been needed, and the
value of this method of protection
from fire was fully established.

DUSKY SENEGAMBIANS
ARE FINED BY THE MAYOR
Disorderly Conduct Cases Feature the
Docket at Police Court.

A considerable docket among the
colored citizens confronted the mayor
at the regular session of police court
Monday morning.
Cleveland Clark, young negro boy,
was found guilty of borrowing the au-
tomobile of Mr.. E. T. Beasley and
taking a ride, damaging the car to
some extent while indulging in this
pastime. Clark's father had paid for
damages to the car and young Clark
had spent three days in the calaboose,
which was considered sufficient pun
ishment.
Mandy Walker, also of the dark
race, was found guilty of disorderly
conduct and drew a fine of $40 For
being drunk, but entirely orderly, Will
Woodward drew fne@of S., as did
Joe Robertson, who was charged with
disorderly conduct.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL NOTES
By w. j. He'll, Co. Agt

Every road leads somewhere. It
is entirely up to ourselves 20 know
which road to patronize. Some
roads subject the traveller 10 in
Vulnerable discomfOrts and wear
mess, leading him finally over the
hills Of pain to station called Lost,
to the World" Tuberculosis once
led the captains of the King of
Death. Many traveller was lured
under its red banner, as if by in
stinct Needless to say, but only
few under that treacherous banner
returned home to their loved ones,
they were prematurely moved to an
unknown world.
Today it is different. Old man
Science has come to the rescue. 1t
has laid before US carpet Of velvet,
wherein our present day travels are
almost puncture proof in comparison.
tuberculosis, formerly crowned
ruler and the most dreaded of all
diseases is now gradually getting TO
be but mere 'plaything" in the
hands of Science.
What a relief. The way seems
more clear. Tuberculosis deaths
have been cut in half, but it still has
for its toll 100000 citizens of the
United States. That figure though
still appallingly large is still bound
10 satisfy itself to lower level if
all the counties in the country in
their respective States give the
cooperation that our local farmers
are extending to the cause. The
Drs. Fesler and Bullion who are con-
Quoting the r b area work in Iron
county report better cooperation of
the farmers in this county than what
what they have received in any other
locality thus far. This gives incense
to better work and a spirit to win
even against heavy odds. The
BLACK demon" is bound to go
bankrupt in this county at this rate
and leave the life flowing stream
untainted.
SO far only three reactors have
been found, which is creditable
showing, taking into consideration
that about ninety herds have been
tested thus far. Let the good work
continue.

AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thuft

Compulsory thrift has never been
a success.
Unless you are really sold" on
the necessities and advantages Of
thrift you will never practice it in
the truest sense. This. is point to
be borne in mind by all who, though
actuated by the most splendid mo-
tives, may be endeayoring to compel
habits Of economy among those
under their guidance.
At various times efforts have been
made under one circumstance or
another to develop practises Of thrift
by compulsion.
But thrift is fundamentally a mat
ter Of mental attitude.
The saving Of money, the elimina-
ton Of idleness, the development Of
efficiency are all matters which
primarily must depend for their
success on the state Of mind of the
individual
Before a man practices thrift he
must have an understanding of all
that it involves. He must have an
appreciation Of its benefits as com
pared with the sacrifices it some
times involves lie must be aware
Of all that it means in the develop
ment Of his career He must have a
correct perspective OF present
economies as related to~ future
benefits. He must know thrift. He
must desire TO be thrifty.
Until such condition has been
reached every effort to compel him
70 follow these practices will only
arouse his antagouism.
IL is true, of course, that an EN-
ployer can compel those who work
under him TO save a certain portion
Of their earnings In some isolated
cases individuals may. through this
method, be started on the right road
But, broadly speaking, such practices
will arouse so much discomfort, re
sentiment and prejudice upon tbs
part of employees that infinitel,
more harm than good will be done
Moreover, the chief benefit Of thrift
namely, the development of persona
discipline, will have been lost
Teath thrift Preach thrift
Encourage thrift Inspire thrift
But do not try to compel it.
ii you hear a great silence, il /
