To day at twelve o'clock, at the

PUBLIC SCHOOLS ASSURED.
The Aatter Setiled by the Citlzens in
Mass Meeting.
Ou last Tuesday night one of
the most importaut questions in
which Dawson was eser concerned
'was decided in a way that will
be a prime factor in the building
up of the city.
Our people met to discuss and
‘determine whetheror not Dawseon
should have a system of public
‘graded schools, |
Col. J. 1. Guerry opered the
meeting by introducivg the follow
ing resolutions:
Resolved Ist. That it is tle
sense of this meeting that public
schoolg be established in Dawson
and that the mayor and council be
requested to advertise said bill as
provided by law for the passage ot
local bills,
Resolved 2nd, That one halt of
one per cent be fixed by said bill
as the maximum limit of taxation
for the support of said schools.
The opposers of the movement
were out in full foree, and it was
feared, as was shown by the very
compromising motions and zpeeches
ot some of the strongest advocates
ofthe publi¢ school system, that
the resolutions would be defeated,
and it was solely due to fearless
Jim Guerry that they were finally
put and overwhelmingly carried,
Today the News publishes a
notice from Mayor Laing that a
bill will be introdued in the legisla
lature authorizing the establish~
ment ot a system of public graded
schools in Dawson. A final elecs
tion will be held as son as the
bill is passed, and we confidently
say that the friends of the move
ment will win,
Several ofits strongest oppon
ents have been convinced, and are
uow its warm advocates, and so
will others changc.
A number of the objectionable
features of the sysiem will be dis
posed of in the bill, waich will be
drawn with the view of uniting all
in its tavor.
In order tolearn how the peo
ple of other cities are pleased with
the syste n, the editor of the Nuws
addressed the Mayors ot soveral
cities where they have public
schools, asking for information,
and below are the replies received.
Others will be published as they
) are received:

Wavcross, Ga., June 17th.
Mr. E. L. Ramey, Dear Sir: The
public school gystem in operation in
this city has proven a great suc
cess, Ithas, in a remarkable des
gree, promotel the upbuilding ot
the town, and by the power undl
advantuges of concentrated eflbrt[
has given us a cheap and, at the
same time, a thorcughly efficient
system of education. It is recog
nized as a great blessing by all of
our-people, and there is no dispo
sition on the part of any to aban
don it. Yours truly,
A. W. CarawrLr, Mayor.
Rome, Ga., Jane 17th.,, Mr.
E L Rainey, Dear Sir: The pub
lie schools of Rome have been one
of the principal tactors in the up
building of the city. Before we
had them people were willing to
live in the suburbs. Now they pres
fer to live within theincorporation
to have the benefits of these schools.
Thus the demandjfcr real estate and
houses for rent has Leen increased
the taxable wvalue of property
increased. our population increased.
While there was opposition at the
inwguration of the system, therc
is none now. The schools have
grown in favor. In my judg
ment no city can keep abreast of
the progress of the present, without
public schools. Yours truly.
W. F. AYER, Mayor.
SANDERSVILLE, GA., June 17th.
Mr. E I Rainey, Dear. Sir: The
people here are much pleased with
public schools. Yours truly,

THE OLDOR A NEW ONE?
Depot Agent Crouch Receives a Commun
ication from the Central Authorities.
Depot Agent Crouch received a
letter a few days ago trom the Cen
tral authorities asking him if some
responsible man could be obtained
in Dawson to repair the old depot.
Recognizing the impcertance of a
new d-pot tor Dawson, and kunow
ing that if the old one was repaired
we would never get a decent de~
pot building, Agent Crouch re
plied that Dawson needed and de
served a better depot than the one
now in use, and that nothing hut
a new one would plea-e the pa
trons of the road liere.

Will They Do It in Dawson?
During last season the ecetton
buyers of ('uthbert,and some other
Georgia towns,orgonized akind of a
pool for the purpose o' knifing the
Alliance When a buyer was
approached by a farmer with cots
ton for sale the farmer would
be asked at what warehouse
was it stored. If not at the Alliance
warehouse the buyer would offer
just }ot a cent more. "his, it is
believed, was largely instruments
al in bringing ghout a disagree
ment in the Alliance camps.
Whether or not the buyers in th s
city will employ this step next sea
son is a matier ot conjecture, but
we hardly think they will,
The Crop Outlook.
Several farmers who were in the
city Saturday fron. various districts
were interviewed by a News
reporter on the general crop out

pated that the yield this year from
both crops will be above ths aver
age. This is very encouraging and
