FARMERS TO PUT STOP
TO THE PESTERING AGENTS
Those Who Sell Goods on
Credit Have Become Great
Nuisance and Cause Much
Annoyance to Them.
Some of the farmers of this sec
tion have determined to put a stop
to the tricks of trade of the peddlers
who travel around from farm to farm
and sell all kinds of junk, such as
pictures, cheap watches, clocks, jew
elry of all kinds, patent medicnes,
musical instruments, ete., to the
hands employed on the place, take
mortgages on the stock, cows and
hogs, which are really not the prop
erty of the tenants, and when the
harvest season comes are very annoy
ing about making their collections,
producing their mortgages as evi
dence that the trade was made in
good faith, and then demand their
money.
~ No one except those who are sub
jected to the annoyance that lis
brought about by the agents have
any idea of the extensiveness of
their operations. The articles which
they offer for sale are always high,
but that does not make any differ
ence with the tenants if they are al
lowed several months in which to
make payments. Immediate posses
sion is what they covet, regardless of
the prices which they will have to
pay when the crops are gathered.
Notices have been posted by some of
the large land owners forbidding
trespassing on their lands of any de
scription, which they hope will have
the effect of keeping off traders and
traffickers who seek to make an easy
living by retailing on credit the arti
cles above mentioned at prices that
will insure them a big profit.
WILL NEVER GIVE UP
THE FORMER KAISER
The Dutch Constitution Does Not
Permit Such a Step.
BUENOS AIRES.—J. Stromp von
Diryen, high counsellor to the Neth
erland ministry of the interior, who
arrived aboard the Dutch steamer
Hollandia on a recreation trip, de
clared today that his government
would never deliver the former Ger
man emperor to the allies. He s.ald
that neither the Dutch constitution
nor laws permitted such a step, _but
he believed Wilhelm would be invited
to return to his own country which
would follow the normal course of ex
tradition and be in accordance with
International law. - :
Jonkheer von Diryen explained
that his statement was unofficial, but
faid it was a faithful reflection of the
spirit of the law to which the Dutch
ftb\'enément was strictly adjusting all
s acts,
TEST FOR WOOD ALCOHOL
WITH HOT COPPER WIRE
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Health
Commissioner Copeland has given
out the following wood alcohol
test, in the hope that it might keep
down the prohibition mortality fig
ures:
“Open the bottle as usual. Heat
one end of a piece of copper wire
until it is red hot, then insert and
withdraw it quickly from the lig
uwid. If the wire gives forth an
odor of formaldehyde cork up the
bottle and call off the party.”
Formaldehyde is a colorless gas,
used as a disinfectant and anti
septic by solution in water. It
gives forth a pungent odor—but if
your nose has not been trained to
recognize it what are you going
to do?
ROBBERS GET A BIG
SUM AT GIRARD BANK
In Neighborhood of $40,0600 Was Ob
tained. Men Escaped in Car of
One of the Victims.
COLUMBUS, Ga., Jan. 16.—Four
masked men entered the Phenix-Gi
rard Bank, at Girard, Ala., about 2
o’clock this afternoon and held up
the officers and tellers. They then
rifled the vault, took $2lO from a|
depositor by the name of Ford andl
fled in the latter’s car, which was
standing at the curb.
A large sum of money was secur
ed, estimated at $27,000.
Clarence Mullins, president of the
bank, shot five times at the men as
they fled. It is not pelieved he hit
any one,
Ford, the man to whom the car
belonged, and a negro in his employ
have been arrested and are in jail at|
(()Iglumbus. Bond was assessed at $40,-‘
0.
; Just before the bandits entered and
\robbed the bank Ford arrived on the
scene in a Chalmers car, which he
left just outside the bank, with the
engine running. It is alleged that
'Ford was not a customer of the bank
and that this was the first time he
had sought to have business dealings
there. He told a bank official that he
wished to open an account, and would
deposit two hundred dollars, and that
he wished the assistance of the teller
in preparing the deposit slip. While
the attention of the banker was so en
gaged the four bandits entered the
bank., They had been carried to Gi
rard from Columbus in a taxicab.

THE DAWSON NEWS.
lAN AUTHORESS AND HUSBAND,
| HAPPILY WEDDED, LIVING
APART. IDEA THEIR OWN.
Nina Wilcox Putnam, the author
ess, and Robert J. Sanderson, district
‘manager of the Southern New Eng
jland Telephone Company, with offi
ices in Bridgeport, Conn., are at
‘tempting something new in the ma
trimonial line. Though happily mar
ried “Miss” Putnam proposes to
?maintain herself in the old Putnam
home, “The Christmas Trees,” at
Madison, Conn., supporting herself on
a “50-50” basis financially with her
husband. Mr. Sanderson plans to live
in his bachelor quarters in Bridge
port. In other words these two,
though happily married, have parted
and now are working out Utopian
ideals of their own in order that they
may “live happily ever after.”
Ever since she could push a pencil
across a sheet of paper or get any
kind of audience for her ideals Nina
Wilcox Putnam has been a fiery
evangelist for the econmic independ
ence of women. She argues that clean
romance hasn’t a chance in the world
because marriage implies that woman
is dependent on her husband for sup
port. So she proposes to work under
ideal conditions in her study while
her husband is working under ideal
conditions in Bridgeport.
Spend Leisure Time Together.
Under the plan as proposed by the
bride Mrs. Sanderson spends the
week-end at ‘“The Christmas Trees”
and while he is there his wife makes
him the center of all household ac
tivities. At times she goes to Bridge
port and enjoys a novel lark with her
husband in his bachelor quarters. The
couple maintain rooms in New York
city, where they keep all their dress
clothes. There Mr. and Mrs. Sander
son play with their friends and then
part and réturn to the smaller towns
ready for work.

mfu:l VERSAL CAR
Ford cars are important servants every
where. They help the family enjoy life, bring
the pleasures and advantages of the town within
reach of the farmer and give practical service
every day in country and town. They require
a minimum of attention; anyone can run, the
Ford and care for it, but it is better to have re
pairs and replacements taken care of by those
who are familiar with the work and have the
tools, the genuine materials, and skilled men to
do the work promptly. We pledge Ford owners
the reliable Ford service with real Ford parts
and standard Ford prices.
