SLOW PROGRESS IS MADE
TOWARD COUNTY’S QUOTA
AT CLOSE OF SECOND_ WEEK OF
CAMPAIGN ONLY THIRD OF
EXPECTED AMOUNT OF BONDS
HAD BEEN SOLD.
rnthusiasm and “pep”’ that put the
American boys through the St. Mihiel
<alient and bang up against the Ger
man border is needed by Terrell
countians this week in support of the
fourth liberty loan.
Don't wait to be asked; volunteer
to put the loan across. At the close
of the second week of the campaign
only $120,000 of Terrell county’s
bond quota of $349,850 had been
subscribed, leaving $230,000 that
must be accounted for this week, as
the drive will close next Saturday
night.
Better work must be done if the
loan is to be carried to a triumphant
success. With American soldiers in
France risking their all, going ahead
to victory with absolute disregard of
the consequences to self, it will he
humiliating, indeed, if those at home
do not invest in the liberty loan in
order to match to some extent the
heroism of the American expedition
forces.
Committees are urging that people
should stop buying non-essentials, and
should buy even essentials in small
quantities, so that they may buy
bonds instead and invest all they can
in this way for the purpose of bring
ing the war to a speedy conclusion.
All are united in feeling that Daw
son and Terrell county will be seri
ously reflected on should they fail to
reach their full quota.
The Women Are at Work.
Mrs. T. B. Raines, chairman of the
woman’s committee, called her com
mittees together again Saturday af
ternoon to hear reports of the activ
ities of the week in different sections
of the county. Parrott added to its
liberty loan subsecription $10,350 and
W. S. S. $500; Graves $1,650 for
bonds, Dawson $16,950, Dover $2OO,
Herod $3,755, Pleasant Hill $550,
Sasser $8,550.
Next Saturday will end the drive
and the women are urged to redouble
their efforts so that Terrell county
may g 0 way beyond its quota. Mrs.
W. G. McAdoo, chairman of the na
tional woman’s committee, sends the
following message:
“Mrs. T. B. Raines, Dawson, Ga.—
The president has called on the na
tion to over-subscribe the loan as im
perative measure toward certain and
complete victory. National Woman's
Liberty Loan Committee appreciat
ing all you have already done, calls
upon you to take that message home
to your community. Over-subscrip
tion of quota in your district must
be personal responsibility of every
liberty loan worker.”
WELL-KNOWN METHODIST
MINISTER CALLED BEYOND
Remains of Rev. J. W. Arnold Pass
Through Dawson.
The remains of Rev. J. W. Arnold
were carried through Dawson Satur
day to Bainbridge for burial. Rev.
Mr. Arnold was pastor of the Metho
dist church at Beuna Vista, and was
well ]’nnown to many Terrell county
people.

denominations. His sons are on the
firing line in France.

a Patriotic Rally.
The coming of Dr., Ashby Jones, the
noted Southern orator, who will
speak at the court house at 4 o’clock
this (Tuesday) afternoon for the

and it is expected that the distinguish

Animal Driven by a Negro Caused
Great Excitement in the Heart of
Business Section of the City.
Dink Johnson, a negro in a brand
new buggy and driving a fiery horse,
came to grief as he dashed around
the Griggs monument while coming
into town from the country Friday
morning. Without warning the horse
began kicking violently, and made a
wild run down the sidewalk betewen
Kennedy & Brim’s warehouse and
Wall’s grocery store.
Mr. Pierce Christie was riding with
the negro, and both occupants of the
buggy leaped to the ground in time
to save themselves the slightest in
jury. The buggy struck the brick
wall extension with such force it was
almost splintered. The horse contin
ued in a mad run down the sidewalk
by the Lee street barber shop, every
body giving the animal the right of
way. At Baldwin’s corner the plung
ing steed slipped on the pavement
and fell full length. Somewhat sub
dued he managed to get to his feet
and made his way straight to the Me-
Dowell stables, which he had recent
ly left for the home of his new own
er.
SHERIFF TURNER PICKS

DAWSON MINISTERS DELIVER.-
ED INTERESTING MESSAGES
Large Congregations Greeted Baptist
and Methodist Pastors Sunday.
Nothing stronger or more timely
along patriotic lines is being heard in
Dawson than the messages from the
pulpits. Rev. T. M. Callaway on Sun
day stirred his hearers with echoes
from the recent conference of minis
ters held in Albany. The two ser
mons by Rev. T. H. Thomson at the
Methodist church, while not bearing
directly on the war, breathed the
highest type of patrictism with Jesus
Christ as the central and compelling
figure in the onsweep of world dem
ocracy.
AVIATOR DISTRIBUTED AD
VERTISING MATTER SATURDAY
Hovered Low Over the City and
Dropped Hundreds of Circulars.
An zirman from Souther Field cir

buildings Saturday morning had ev
erybody craning their necks to find
out the occasion of this close contact.
As a shower of circulars began to
fall over the streets and in the back
yards it was discovered that the com
mittees had adopted this unique plan
of advertizing the three patriotic ad
dresses in Dawson this week to boost
the fourth liberty loan.

COTTON IS COMING TO
MARKET SLOWLY NOW
The Crop Has Practically Been Gath
ered in This Section.
The Dawson warehouses had re
ceived 9,111 bales &f cotton up to
last night. Comparatively speaking
rcceipts are light, the bulk of the
crop having been gathered.
The market continues dull. Good
middling was quoted this morning at
30 cents.
J. W. Holley, President of Negro
Normal School at Albany, Deliv
ered Inspiring Address.
The patriotic demonstration at the
court house Sunday afternoon, ar
ranged b the leading colored citizens
of Dawson, was by far the largest
gathering yet assembled for speeding
the “fighting fourth.” The display of
national colors was elaborate and
tasteful, the county service flag with
its figures “485” occupying a con
spicuous place. The patriotic songs
were sung with a fervor that was in
spiring and every number on the well
arranged program was thoroughly en
joyed. Preliminary to the speaking
timely remarks were made by promi
nent Dawson negroes and visitors
ifrom Albany.
The crowning feature of the occa
sion was the stirring address by Dr.
J. W. Holley, president of the color
ed state normal school at Albany.
Dr. Holley has had fine educational
advantages, has traveled extensively
and has made the best of his oppor
tunities. His speech was one of the
best ever heard in Dawson, and made
a fine impression on white and col
ored. It was full of wholesome ad
vice to his race, and carried strong
patriotic appeal. His flashes of fine
humor were greatly appreciated as
was the historical setting which,
showed the marvelous achievements
of this nation. The speaker was lib
erally applauded by white and color
ed. |
Col. M. J. Yeomans, by his cordial |
interest and general helpfulness, con
tributed materially to the success of
the occasion. In a short speech he
stressed with telling effect the priv-'
ilegze of buying liberty bonds. The
climax of the meeting was the tak
ing of subseriptions to which there
was ready response, but as the work
has not yet been completed the fig
ures will not be given until the next
issue of The News. |
SCREAMING OF “WILD CAT”
WHISTLE AROUSED THE CITY
___i
Two A. M. Germany’s Acceptance of
President’s Terms Celebrated.
The wild screeching of the fire en
gines as the trucks flew up one street
and down another over the city at 2
o’clock Sunday morning startled the
inhabitants from their peaceful slum
bers to lively speculation as to the
cause of the rampage. When day
dawned it was found that the news
of Germany’s reported acceptance of
the president’s terms for peace was
the occasion of the jubilant outburst.
AVIATOR HITS AUTOMOBILE
WHILE MAKING LANDING
The Plane Was Slightly Damaged,
But Not Disabled.
One of the aviators from Souther
Field in the city Saturday in making
a landing went beyond the limits of
the station and crashed into an auto
mobile parked on the street, but not
with enough force to damage the car.
The airplane was slightly grazed, but
not disabled.

Imiproved Wilt Resistant
Cotton Eeed
e e . e s
I HAVE been improving this cotton for five years by making single stalk selections and
breeding up to where I have the most prolific and quickest maturing cotton that I have
ever seen grow.
I planted three acres last year from the seed that grew on two rows where seed from sin
gle stalks were planted the year before. I planted this cotton on April 10th, and finished
picking on September 20th 5,240 pounds of seed cotton. I ginned this into four bales that
weighed 2,100 pounds of lint. 1 planted 160 acres this year from this lot of seed, and this
is the seed that | am offering for sale to plant next year.
My foundation stock was Covington’s Tool Wilt Resistant Cotton. My cotton
has been inspected for five years by the cotton experis of the siate entomologist,
and the State Agricultural College. 1 refer you to either of themi. These seed
are registered with the Georgia Plant Breeders Association. 1| have my private
sins on the farm and do not gin for the public. In this way I can keep my cotton
pure, and | continve to improve it each year. | have about 2,500 bushels of these
seadfor salc at $3.00 per bushel. Icould not supply the demand for these seed
lasl vear,
linvite anyone interested in good cotton to visit my farm and inspect the fields where
this colion grew. I regard i the best cotton that we can piant under boll weevii conditions
on nccount of its quick maturing and wilt resistant qualities.
