COTTON NO LONGER KING.
i ' .
WHAT A PROSPEROUS WEBSTER
FARMER J§ DOING
With Hogs and Cattle--Former Cotton
Fields Now Green With Waving
Wheat gand Oats--Six
: Hundred Hogs il
Mr. W, P. Jowers, the erstwhile cot
ton king of Webster and. one of the
largest and most successful planters in
Georgia, was in Americus a few days
ago and told the Reeorder of his losses
by the reeent freeze. Like ‘every
progressive farmer, Mr. Jo‘gem’ crops
were well advanced, and his loss by the
freeze was considerable. ¥,
Besides oats and wheat Mr. Jowers
had several hundred acres of corn up
and growing finely, every stalk of which
was killed to the rocots. He has already
replanted about 500 acres in corn and
hopes yet to secure a good yield.
Mr. Jowers has turned his attention
largely to stock raising, and instead of
growing cotton at a loss he will raise
hogs and beeves at aprofit. Last year
he saved emough meat to supply his
plantation for twelve months, He now
has a drove of 600 hogs vn his farm in
Webster, and will kill at least 250 fat
porkers next winter.
Think of a Georgia farm:r with 600
big and little hgs rooting in his fields
and meadows, 250 of which will be fat |
enough to kill this winter. Cwn Téxas.
béat that? Does farming pay in Geor
gia?
Mr. Jowers has full corn cribs as well
as a full smoke house, but is feeding his
hogs on peas just now, of which he
saved nearly 3,000 bushels of last year’s
crop. Besides hogs he has any number
of beautiful Je sey cows as well as other
fine cattle, and already he finds that
stock raising is mot only easiec bat far
more profitable than raising cotton and
boarding free negroes.
Where he once devoted hundreds of
acres to cotton culture, (Mr. Jowers now
has green fields of wheat and oats, be
sides the large acreage planted in corn.
He has by no means abandoned cotton,
but that staple .is no longer king on his
plantation and the hog and hominy
question has full sway.
STEWART IS SAFK,
Will Give the Gallant Old Christian War
rier and Statesman a Big Majority.
Mr. Atkinson is evidently making
more fuss than votes, and when the
campaign ends it will be found vhat he
is not half as strong as he and his sup
porters are so energetically trying to
make the public believe.
| He spoke up at Richland the other
night, and next day it was announced in
flaring head lines in one of his orgaus
that he made a clegn sweep and no
Evans men could afterwards be found in
that locality.
To show how groundless is the claim
Tae Nkws is permitted to make an ex
tract from a letter written by Mr. G. E.
Bell, one of the most influential and
conservative citizens of Stewart county,
to a'friend in Mawson. M. Bell writes
from Richland as follows:
“The county is for Evans. Atkinson
made a speech here in which he minified
Evans and tried to magnify himself.
We have an Evans club at Richland of
100 or more names, and you may put it
down certain that the councy will go
igely for Evans, We are quiet, but
ed.” -
: HAIL,
__‘
A Considerable Sprinkle of It a Few Davys
Ago.
Not quite a year ago Dawson and vi
cinity was visited by the severest hail
storm on record, which entailed a loss of
thousand of dollars to our paonple,
Last Wednesday there was another
hail, and lumps of ice dropped thick and
fast for a few moments, but scarcely any
damage was done.
Itls reported that some of the window
panes were broken at the school build

A SAW MILL BURNED.
MR, T. J, LOWE SUSTAINS A HEAVY
LOSS 2hiid
Through the Hands of an Incendiary. An
i Insulting Letter Found Nailed
to a Tree--The Guilty Par
ty Suspected. :
When Mr. T.J. Love réached home
Saturday he found a telegram awaiting
him conveying the news that hLis large
saw mill, located near Philema, in Lee
county, had been destroyed by an incen
diary’s torch the Tuesday night before.
To say that Mr. Lowe was shocked
hardly expresses it, for the mill property
at Philema was worth $1,500, and he had
no insurance upon it.
There is no doubt that the fire was the
work and incendiary, for, tacked to a
tree near by, was a very insulting letter
to which the name of a former employee
of the mill was attached.
Mr. Lowe spent last week at one of
his other mills, and the first news of his
misfortune at Phileml was on Saturday.
He leit for that place Monday to inves
tigate the burning, and seemed well sat
isfied that the guilty party would be ap
prehended.
The large boiler and engine used at
the mill had just been traded for another
boiler and engine and $5OO in cash, and
was made ready for removal the day be
fore the fire. '
BEYOND THE ROCKIES,
A Little Dawson Boy Writes About His
Trip to the West.
Little Steve Christie, who is on a trip
to the western states with his father,
Hon. 8. R. Christie, writes as follows
from San Francisco: :
“Wwe reached this city the morning of
the 28th of Marc', after a continueus
jrurney of five days and six nights from
Atlania. ’
“The trip has been a very pleasant one
considering the long distance traveled,
being about three thousand, three hun
dred miles.
“We came over one of 'he upper
routes, crossing the Rockies between
Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Ogden, Utah.
The highest elevation traversed by this
road is at Sherman, 8,247 feet above the
sea level. Igot off at this place and
made a snowball.
“Very nearly the wbole face of the
earth was covered with snow from a few
inches to twenty feet in depth for a dis
tance of more than six hundred miles.
‘ “With the exception of a very few
‘cott n wopd, scrubby spruce pine and
small cedars there were no trees for a
’distance of about 1100 lailes in this vast
extent of territory. There is no indus
try except that of mining and stock rais
} ing.
“They have a very creditable fair here.
!The exhibitsin all the departments are
;very fine, but the grandest, and, to me,
the most interesting sights that I have
‘seen were the Rocky, Sierra, Neyada and
Cascade mountains Wwith their deep
gorges and immense canyons and snow
capped summits; the Pacific ocean and
he vast number of vessels of all kinds to
be seen here. :
“San Francisco’ is destined to be one
of the largest and: most important cities
in the United States, being the gateway
for the commere of the states west of the
Mississippi and the gountries to the north
and south of us, as ‘well as those of east
ern Asia, B - ‘
“I will have to see you to tell you the
details of our trip.”
GOV. 808 TAYLOR
He Delighted a Large Dawson Audience
Saturday Evembng.
The largest audience. of the season
was at the opera bous¢ Saturday n}ght
to hear ex-Governor Bob £aylor, of Ten
nessee, in his famous 'lecture, j‘*The
Paradise of fools.” . :
The anticipatior of the large audience
was more than realized,®for a more
uniqae, original and beautiful address
was probably never heard: o read in
print such a lecture would. ke dike look
ing upon the form of a beautiful being
cold in death after we had seen the
warm blood of life flowing through her
delicate veins and lcoked “into the depth
of her tender e{es.
Through it all ther: were gems of elo
quence and jewels of wit and wisdom.
Dawson was glad of the opportunity
to hear Tennessee’s distinguished orator,
for 10 hear hm always brings delight.
