pRICE HAS DROPPED TWO CENTSIN A
WEEK AND MAY GO LOWER.
et
orop in This Section will Be Smaller
Than Was First Expected. Dawson
Has peveived Over Three Thou
sand Two Hundred Bales.
A sharp decline has been experieny:
o 4 in the cotton market the past week,
jd farmers who were fortunate
epough 10 sell the staple at the begin
sing of the season found considerably
ore money in their pockets than
hose Who have marketed their cotton
;e last few days.
The markev during the opening days
qried from 124 to 12% cents, but 1t
oon 100 K adownward startand by Sat
«day bad tumbled to 10% ‘cents, prac
ically 1% cents per pound. It has tak
g apother slide during this week, and
f may nov nave reached the botigm
o, While of course the present
yrice does nOU put a 8 much money in
e farmyrspockeb_as that of a few
jays previous very little of the staple
is being held for a higher tigure, and it
s being rushed to market as fast as it
(s gathered. :
The decline in price is explained by
e fact that much cotton has already
yeen marketed. The crop was consid-
Lrably late, and the great demand by
\ne mills for cotton tended to force it
kyward. [vwas bub natural, there
fore, that & decline should be experi
nced as soon as the demand began to
be 10 some extent satis tied. .
Cotton has been opening very rapid
iy in Terrell county, and the farmers
nave been keeping up with the pick
i exceedingly well. It is now be
lieved that the crop in this section will
he much smaller than it at one time
yromised, and it i 3 not now taoought
hat more than an ayerage crop will
e made.
The receipts by wagon in Dawson at
pe time of going 'O press was 3,250
balllets. and the price being paid was 194
onts.

CAN'T PUNCH THE |IVORIES IN DAWSON
Judge Sheffield Fails to Grant Injunction Against the City, and
Pool Room Has Had to Close Its Doors. ;
No more pool in Dawson.
The pool room which has been oper
ated on the corner of Main street and
Fourth avenue for the past several
months has been forced to close its
doors, and the heavy license imposed
by the city on such establishments
makes it exceedingly improbable that
any other pool room will be opened
here.
The final closing of the room in
question marks the finish of an inter
esting piece of litigation. Mr. Solo
mon Jones, who ran the establish
ment, claimed the right to operate the
table free of license in view of the fact
that he is a confederate veteran.
The city at rirst refused to let him
conduct his establishment, but _aft,er a 8
few davs deciued be had the right to
do sO, and the business moved on plac
idly for some time.
AN UNUSUAL REQUEST.
Captain McWilliams Is Asked by a Friend
to Write His Obituary,
An old friend of mine requests me,
when he passes into the great beyond,
to write his obituary, wiich I have
consented to do provided I should be
the longest liver. *Bill Arp” or some
one else said, ‘‘All the good deeds of a
man are read in his obituary.” I, too,
have read in some obituaries many
good words which were news to me, as
I had never heard them before.
“Speak no eyil of the dead’ is a good
motto. When he is dead, even if he
was your enemy, write upon his head
stone ‘‘Regquiescat in pace.”
My private opinion is we should say
more good things of a man while he is
living. as ‘“‘Justice is mockery to the
dead.” I do not mean to “white wash”
him or his crimes, but to praise him
for every good word or deed and to
justly censure him whenever he justly
deserves it. I advocate the freedom
of speech and of the press. This 1s
just, right, and too, 1t is law delegated
oy e constitution of the Union. I
adv@te saying more good things of a
manWhilg he is living, which I can
only reoeat in his obituary. I doubt
not that everyone who knows myold
friend loves him or would shed a tear
over his grave. Oneis apt to exag
erate a friends virtues, while an ene
my would magunify his crimes. Your
time honored friend,

Seyeral’ weeks ago, ‘however, the
city attorney gave it as his opinion
that Mr. Jones was not exempt from
the payment of license to run a place
of this kind, and the authorities ac
cordingly ordered the establishment
closed. The doors remained shut but
a short time, when they were again
thrown open to the public. A case of
contempt was then made against the
proprietor, but an injunction was se
cured from Judge Sheffield by his at
vorney, Colonel Irwin, which restrain
ed the authorities from making any
arrest or collecting the license.
The injunction was heard on its mer
its by Judge Sheffield a few dayvs ago,
and the decision was in favor of the
city. The pool room has since been
closed, and as the license ou each pool
and billiard vable is $5OO it is not at all
probable that anyone will engage in
the business in Dawson.
HOTEL CHANGES NAME,
Is Now the Hotel Thelma Instead
of the Farnum House.
There is no longer a Farnum House
in Dawson. Mr. M. I. Harrell, propri
etor of the popular hostelry, has
changed its name to the Hotel Thel
ma, selecting this name in honor of
his little daughter.
The hotel title of Farnum House has
grown so familiar in Dawson that its
passing away will be rather hard to
realize. Many years ago the name
originated with Mrs. W, W. Farnum
taking the management of a handsome
hostelry on Vine street. For a long
time that establishment was conducted
under that title, and when Mrs. B. M.
Wilson assumed the proprietorship of
the hotel on Main street she opened it
under the same name. This house was
burned, but the old botel ou Vine
street was improved and the name re
mained as formerly. When this build
ing was subsequently destroyed by
fire Mrs. Wilson erected the preseat
hotel building on the corner of Main
street and Fourth avenue, which in
turn was known as the Farnum House.
When Mr. Harrell bought the estab
lishment some months ago the original
pame was maintained. The present
proprietor, however, decided a few
days ago that this name would be used
no longer, and hereafter his establish
ment will be known as the Hotel
Thelma.
Distress After Eating Cured.
Judge W. T. Holland of Greensburg
La., whois well and favorably krowan,
says: ‘‘Two years ago I suffered great,
ly from indigestion. After eating
great distress would invariably result,
lasting for an hour or so, and my nights
were restless. I conéluded to try Ko
dol Dyspepsia Cure, and it cured me
entirely. Now my sleep is refreshing
and digestion perfect.” Sold by Daw

)?CASH FRON THE COUNCIL
IMPORTANT MATTERS CLAIMED AT.
TENTION OF THE FATHERS.
Attorney Guerry Paid Another Fee for
Service in Waterworks Case. Second
Payment to Be Made on Recently
Purchased Light Machinery.
The regular meeting of the city |
council for August was one of more
than usual importance. .
Besides the regular routine business
matters of a financial nature claimed
the attention of the fathers. |
One of these was the payment of
$250 to Attorney DuPont Guerry of
Macon, who requested this additional
sum to past fees on account of his con
tinued services as chief counsel for
the city in the waterworks litigation.
Colone! Guerry is now at work pre
paring the papers for the appeal ot
the case to the United States supreme
court, Co'onel Guerry, in connection
with the city’s local attorneys, has
been untiring in his efforts, the case
having been taken successively from
court to court unti! now it rests with
the highest tribunal in the land.
In connection with the case, the city
was also recently required by order
of Judge Pardee of the United States
circuitcourt to pay $l,BOO as fees to
the master in chancery who sat in the
case and to the stenographer who took
the evidence, making about 32.000
that has been paid in the last few
months as costs attendant upon the
litigation.
A THOUSAND FFOR LIGHT MACHINERY.
Another matter of finances acted
upon was the authorizing of the fi
nance committee to negotiate a loan
of $l,lOO at a moderate rate of interest
with which to make the second pav
ment due on the electric light machin
erv purchased some time ago.
In addition to the above disburse
ments the regular monthly salaries of
employes of the several departments of
the city government were ordered
paid.
