OFIICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY.

A Reflection on the City. l‘
The regular Sunday afternoon |
dog fights, sparring matches and
base ball discussions that are in
dulged in by the youth ot this city
are disgraceful in character and
disgusting to decent people.
Such coarse conduct as thisis a
reflection on the city and should
not take place on our streets, es«
peciaily on the Sabbath.
One of Dawsen’s Greatest Needs. !
Among Dawson’s many and
pressing meeds is.a good system of
waterworks,
_Thecity's rapid growth demands
it, and it remains to be seen
if our present progressive and en
terprising board of aldermen will
arige to the emergency and win the
still greater commendation of their |
admiring constituency.
The city is cut of debt and has
some money in the treasury, a"dl
it.is said by one of the aldernien
that the financial condition of the‘
town will warrant the building of a
first-class system of waterworks.
Instead of being an expense, the
waterworks could be made a source
of revenue to the city. Thereare
but few families who would not
. pay ten or fifteen dollars a year
to have a supply of good artesian
water at their homes. Thus, it
will be seen, this annual income
from the citizens for water privis
leges would soon pay the expense
of the erection of the worksand be
a source of steady income to the
city treasury for all time thereaf
ter.
Let our aldermen take the mat
terin hand and work together to
give Dawson something that she
bas long needed and must soon
have.
Lowrey--Sullivan.
The prompt response of Gov.
Hill to the demand of the Governor
of Mississippi is a final answer to
the sneers of bis enenies that Gov-
Hill would not dare offend the bul
lies of the metropolis by acceding
to a demand for the extradition of
Bullivan. It is quite as swift and
positive a reply to the critics of
Gov. Lowrey, who has thus given
#ignal evidence of his ability to up
bold the dignity of his state.
Sullivan’s only hope now isin
finding a second MeAlister. U~
less he can doso he is certain to
contribute a handsome sum to the
treasury cf Mississippi and to wear
the garb of & convicted felon. - The
“champion” in a striped suit would
be an object lesson in law and or
der which would not be without its
uses.
This case is not to be considered
merely as a violation of a law
against prize fighting. Had Sulli
van and Kilrain met by secret ap
pointment at Richburg, fought
a finish, gathered up their several
remaios and as quietly departed
there would have Leen no great
bueand cry. It is doubtful if any
paivs would have been taken to ar
rest them had they succeeded in es- ‘
caping from the state. But the
circumstances were wholly differs
eot. That they intended to fight
either in Mississippi or Louisiana
on a certain day was well under
stood, and preparations were made
for the accommodation of several
thousand spectators at so much
each. They were warned that it
was against the law of both states,
and that measures wou'd be taken
to punish them if they violated ic.
They defied the Governor, mocked
the state and laughed at the sheriff
who commanied the peace. They
set themselves up as greater than
the state, and as despisir g its laws.
If it requires every dollar in the
treasury, and the time of every
man in the etate, they should be
made to suffer the extreme penalty
of the law.
Tne Terrell farmers have spent
less money than usual this year to
make their crope. This fact and
a prospect for a good yield warrants
the belief that farmers will start out
ia 1890 under brighter clouds,
| The Brady Bill.
The following is coatributed to
the Constitution coneerning the
Brady bill. It expresses our views
exactly:
Oneeffect of the Brady bill, if
it becomes a law, will be to impose
upon the fertilizer manufacturer
the additional guaranty that a cer
tain oumber of poundsof ammonia,
phosphoric acid and potash shall
produce a good eropeotton or corn
under all circumstances or be con- !
sidered worthless or of o practical |
value and su%Yject to a plea of fails ‘
ure of consideration, a proposition
which is unreasonable and absurd. |
Such a guaranty vould be to ins
sure the farmer against the improj«
er use of fertilizers by his hands, !
against bad seed, frost, hail, had
stands, lice, rust, blight, sore shin, |
floods of rain, grass and weeds, |
drought, bad cultivation, lazy nc~!
groes, and other contingencies too
nunerous to mention. It would |
be a premium to dishonesty, and an 1
chievous incentive to litigation to |
evade the payment ot just debts. |
Besides this, it isan lasult to the ]
intelligence of every honest, pro
gresgive farmer, who, knowingz the !
uniform, well established chemical |
value of the the three elements
which fertilizers contain, and the 1
protection he has under our pres
ent fertilizer law against any fails |
ure of consideration in the analysis
or weight of these elements, as
guaranteed, does not need a guar
i dian to protect him agaiost hisown
act when he signs a note for value
received. The above will he one
effect of the Brady bill, if passed
in its present shape. Another ef
tect will undoubtedly be to abolish
all time sales ot fertilizers in Geors
gia and put the trad= strictly on a
cash basis,a result which will prob»
ably suit the manutacturers ot
fertilizers better than it will the
farmers.
T. ~in Stopped by Grasshoppers.
The grasshopper does not attack
small matters likecrops in Chatham
county,but he has exhibited capaci
ty enought tostop a train, Friday
night this slight and acile insect
tackled the mogzul and won the
fight. The Tybee train was push
ing its way through the marsh that
night whea itsuddenly stopped.—
The passengers imagined that
brigands from the wmarsh haa sprung
upon the engineer and throttled
him, but it was not so. A grass
hopper had held up the iron mons
ster. On the island there is to be
seen a cane brake thick enough t,
furnish with arrows all the archers
of the world. These unused weap
ons in nature’s arsenal are bent
down with the burdensome grass
hobper. He is large and numer
ous to an extent beyond imagina~
tion. Friday night he conceived
a wild fancy, ILying low and
thick upon the rail, he chirped
gleefully as the train bowled along.
Greasing the track with his blood,
the wheels went round, butthe ens
gine, tender and coaches stood still.
The grasshopper conquered and
died and at last the traia sped cn.
A BILL 10 tax dogs at the rate of
81 each has been introduced in the
legielature. The bill provides that
the collection of the special tax will l
not be enforced where a dog is re~
turned for taxation at a valuas
tion of £5O. Dogs should certainly
be taxed.

The Artesian Well.
Is the artesian well for the con
venience of our ecitizens, or is it
intended as a loafng place for all
the idle, insolent negroes of the
city? Some of our people prefer
to use artesian water, but they
cannot persuadcthemselves to pars
