that he was sore over the probabilityl
of fixing the price of cotton, and be
cause he had lost some $30,000 on his
cotton on account of the decline in
the price he intended throwing up
his nomination to the state senate,
quitting the democratic party and go
ing over to the republicans. He has
done it.
Only After Recommendation for the

Although he is said to be worth
$6,000,000,000, Lawrence Lewis, of
Greenbria, Va., kept his identity se
cret when he enlisted in thearmy.
Lewis was assigned to the artillery
when he arrived in France, and be
cause he seemed to know how to han

Dasher, of Macon, Ga., assigned him
to the stables, where he ranked ser

l Spent Pay on Horses.
So well did Lewis look after the
animals that Capt. Dasher recom
mended him for the officers’ training
school for enlisted men. Just before
departing Capt. Dasher learned that
his stable sergeant. was spending all
his army pay on feed for his stock.
“How does it happen you spend all
your money on feed for the horses?’”
demanded the officer. |
Sergt. Lewis grinned cheerfully. |
“Oh, I can afford it,”” he said. ‘,
It was only after Lewis had &('-!
parted for the officers’ training school
that Capt. Dasher learned why his ox-,
stable sergeant “could afford it.” A.
brother officer visiting the stables |
told Capt. Dasher who Lewis was z\t’

GEORGIA WOMEN IN WEL.-
FARE WROK IN FRANCE
Some Are Driving Ambulances on
the Field of Battle. &
American women have proven
themselves fearless and courageous
under fire on the bloody battlefields
of Europe. Several Georgia women,
including two from Terrell county,
are among the number who have
gone abroad in the service of the
Jeven walfare organizations 'which
are embraced in the United War
Work campaign. Some are serving
hot drinks and food to exhausted sol
diers, some are sewing up great, gap
ing holes in tired Tommies’ trousers
and others are actually driving am
bulances on the fields of conflict. One
almost expects to hear of some very
dauntless American woman charging
“over the top.” These American wo
men! They figure heavily in our so
called “man power.” : I

UNPRECEDENTED CONDITION IN
THE COTTON TRADE. MARK

, e
; Cotton swept downward last week,
t meeting with little or no re
sistance from the so-called bull ele
' ment, although fundamentals respon
‘[sible for the rise early in Spetember
that carried October to 37.25 have
i’undergone practically no change. In
fact, conditions at the moment are
even more bullish than a month ago,
especially in view of the extremely
favorable war news, peace cry of the
'Huns, and the fact that President
Wilson left the door ajar for further
discussion in bringing about an end
of hostilities in his reply to Germany.
Every one in the world knows that
peace would bring about an unprece
dented demand for cotton, especially
from the foreign countries, as they
are in dire need of the South’s staple
and will clamor for it after the war
regardless of prices. |
Terrell County Boy Who Was in Big ~
Offensive Against Germans Writes
Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Barbaree have
received a letter from their son,
John H. Barbaree, who is fighting in
France, in which, after stating that
he has received but little mail on
account ‘of being constantly-on the
move, he says: “At last we are at a
place where I hope we will be for
some time and I can have a little
rest, as I have moved so much I even
hate to hear the word move. It has
gotten to be monotonous most. I am
feeling o. k. but for the past few
days have been bothered some with
my teeth; otherwise I am perfectly
well. I do not like to recall the ex
periences since I wrote you in June.
I will try to give you a little.sketch
of what I have been doing, but will
not bother with full details of it.
When I wrote you in June we were
on the Champagne sector in the Ger
man offensive, whick began on the
morning of July 15, and then about
July 23 we were helping drive the
enemy from their position at Chateau
Thierry. We were up there for near
ly a month in that area, in which time
we drove the enemy about fifteen kil
ometers, and now I hope we are out
for a while, at least I hope so but
can never tell, as they are likely to
send us most anywhere. I came out
of it o. k. but had some close calls.
I got a few whiffs of gas but not
THE DAWSON NEWS.
~ But in spite of this the cotton
market apparently is friendless. Ev
ery one clamored for cotton a month
ago, when it was commanding fully
6 cents a pound more than now.
There is no special news warrant
ing the attack against values. Some
point out that the crop probably will
turn out to be a liktle larger than
present indications, but whether it
does or not it depends entirely on
killing frosts, Should it arrive early
then the yield stands no chance on
earth of gaining ground.
Price-fixing talk has vanished and
the government cotton board is gov
erning distribution so that low grades
will be absorbed along with high col
ors. With a crop of less than 12,-
000,000 bales of lint cotton and with
peace almest a certainty before an
other crop i¢ made, there’s no reason
why cotton should be depressed to
present low levels.
It is said there is a concerted effort
on the part of mills to hammer prices
down through a hand-to-mouth poli
cy. A year ago this time mills were
bidding aggressively for cotton with
prices around 27 cents a pound. Isn’t
this a fine contrast?
If the mills are to buy hand-to
mouth, then wouldn’t it be incumbent
upon farmers and country merchants
to also sell on the hand-to-mouth
plan? It'’s fair.

ONE PERSON SUGGESTS SERIES
OF ARTESIAN WELLS, ANOTH
ER ARTIFICIAL LAKES.
The recurrence of hot winds in all
of their withering destructiveness
this summer has se¥ved to.call at
tention to some of the theories ad
vanced for solving this great menace
to agriculture in the southwest.
William H. Murray, of Tishomingo,
former congressman, believes hot
winds can be entirely eradicated by
means of a chain of artesian wells
stretching from the north line of
western Oklahoma, the Panhandle of
Texas into New Mexico. He would
drill a well on each quarter section,
which would be turned loose and al
lowed to throw a continubus stream
of water into the air. He figures that
250,000 such wells would be suffi
cient. The volum® of water that
would be generated would be equal
to the capacity of a large river, Hot
winds striking such a saturation of
moisture would be entirely neutraliz
ed in the opinion of Mr. Murray.
Robert Galbraith, of Tulsa, be
lieves a chain of artificial lakes fed
by wells would put an end to hot
winds. He would dam every ravine
that would hold a considerable body
of water in every part of Oklahoma.
The old saying, “Oklahoma and
Kansas can promise more in June and
give' less in August,” would be cast
into the diseard if by some scientific
means hot winds can be conquered.
This is one of the great problems up
for solution and will eventually en
gage the thought of noted scientists.

For Colds and Grippe
, o
Follow Dgctor’s Advice
Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the first step in
the treatment of a cold, cough, influ
enza or grippe should invariably be
“a brisk calomel purgative, prefera
bly the nausealess calomel, called Cal
otabs.” This alone is often sufficient
to break up a severe cold over night,
or cut short an attack of grippe and
possibly prevent pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water—that’s
all. No salts, no nausea ngr the
slightest interference with your eat
ing, pleasures or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your en
tire system is purified and refresh
ed. Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages; price thirty-five
cents. Recommended and guaranteed
by druggists everywhere. Price re
funded if you are not delighted.—ad.
