‘EACH TIME A BALE WAS FOUND
BURNING AT LOWREY AND
DAVIDSON’'S WAREHOUSE,
At midnight Saturday the fire de-l
partment was called to the warehouse
of Lowrey & Davidson three tiliresi
‘in less than two hours to extinguish
burning cotton. |
At 12:30 a bale in the street on
the east side of the warehouse and
fiat the rear of the Dawson Cafe was
"discovered to be burning. The fire
‘was extinguished and the company
had scarcely returned to headquar
ters before another alarm was sent
in at 1:40. This proved to be an
other bale burning near where the
first one was afire, The third call
was at 2:20 o’clock to the samae
. warehouse. This time a bale of cot
| ton on Lee street on the east side
' of the warehouse was on fire. All of
; the fires were soon put out and but
little damage was done.
The origin of the fires is shrouded
in mystery. There are those who are
inclined to the belief that the cotton
was set on fire by some thoughtless,
‘if not malicious, person for the pur
pose of seeing the dePartment run,
others think perhaps it was the work
of an incendiary, and some believe
cigarette smokers were the cause.
A HEAV LOSYS IN |
CENTRAL RAILROAD WRECK
Freight Train Wiped Out hy Flames.
Damage Is $75,000.
The Central of Georgia railway
track nine miles west of Columbus
was the scene of a spectacular §75,-
000 wreck Monday, when nine cars
of a 64-car freight train en route
from Birmingham to Columbus left
the rails. The wreck was caused by
the wheel of a gasoline tank“ecar
breaking, throwing the car of the
track.
Of thé derailed cars six were pe
troleum oil, one hay and one ma
chinery. The gasoline, running from
the cars, caught on fire. Later the
escaping oil, which ran down a ravine
and spread over a field, ignited, and
early tonight was blazing brightly in
a spectacular way, The damage caus
ed by the wreck is conservatively
estimated at $75,000. No one was
hurt. ;

submitted, and the lowest was for
$140,000, which is $40,000 more
than the total stock subscriptions.
The highest was $lBB,OOO.
' The board of directors, in all prob

HOURS AFTER BEING STIIICI(IiNl
Cre of Terrell's Oldest and Moest
Hiskly Esteemed Women Is
< Claimed by Death,
Just at sunrise on September 17th
(though the sunset of life), the Grim
Reaper chose from this earth one of
the county’s most beloved ladies and
a true and loving mother and sister,
Mrs. Temperance C. Lain.
Mrs. Lain was stricken in the
early morning with what proved to
be her fatal illness and lived only a
few hours after this suddenattack
of :apoplexy. She was sevently-six
’years old, and had been a faithful
and worthy member of the Primitive
Baptist church since her childhood,
at all times lending her influence to
those who passed her way. She num
bered her friends by her acquaint
ances. j
Until her death Mrs. Lain had
made her home ‘with her son, Mr.
E. D. Lain, whose tender care helped
to further her life to ripe old age.!
Those who survive her are one
daughter, Mrs. Julia Rabun, near
Plains, and three sons, E. D. Lain,i
W.J. Lain and P.'B. Lain, all livingi
near Parrott, 8 |
Revs. Garrett and Everette con

LITTLE GIRL'S LEG WAS
BROKEN BY AUTOMOBILE
Carolyn Shields Was the Victim of
Unavoidable Accident.
Carolyn, the little five-year-old
daughter of Mr. and ‘Mrs. J. A.
Shields, happened to the misfortune
of having her leg broken by an au
tomobile driven by “Mr. Hill Thorn
ton. She and a number of other
children were around an ice wagon
which had stopped at the Shields
home on Lee street, and as the ma
chine driven by Mr. Thornton ap
proached and was passing she ran
from behind the wagon and was
struck by the car, resulting in one
bone of her leg being broken about
middle way between the ankle and
knee. It was impossible for Mr.
Thornton to see the child, and no
blame attaches to him for the un
fortunate accident.
Surgical attention. was given the
little girl, and while her injury is
quite painful she is, reported to be
doing very well.
A CARD OF THANKS.
Mr. E£. D. Lain and family wish
to thank their friends and neighbors
for their many kindnesses shaown
them during the short illness and
sad bereavement in the death of
their mother, Mrs, T. C. Lain. May
God’s richest blessings be theirs.

20,000 BALE CROP IS
TERRELL'S PROSPECT
‘ALREADY 5,044 BALES HAVE
BEEN RECEIVED BY WARE
HOUSES OF DAWSON.
Terrell county’s cotton crop hasi
opened rapidly this year, and is be-i
ing gathered as fast as farmers can
procure hands to pick it. |
The Dawson warehouses have al
ready received 5,044 bales, of which
2,290 were brought in the past week.
A conservative estimate is that
Terrell county will produce this year
20,000 bales, which compares with
17,000 bales from last year’s crop.
The acreage is somewhat larger than
it was last year.
- The crop, too, has been an expen
sive one. High prices paid for labor
throughout the growing season, com
lbined with the necessity of using
large quantities of calcium arsenate,
has made the 1920 cotton crop in
Terrell county cost farmers more
sthan any crop produced in recent
lyears.
Notwithstanding all precautions
ltaken weevils have wrought heavy
' damage in Terrell’s cotton fields, and
practically everywhere the so-called
“top cro%” is a complete failure.
Farmers here, however, have not de
pended this year entirely ypon cot
'ton as a money crop. .

The friends of Mrs. Jessie Stevens

No Rest--No Peace
There’s no peace and little rest for
the one who suffers from a bad back,
and distressing urinary disorders.
Dawson people recommend Doan’s
Kidney Pills. Be guided by their ex
perience.
W. L. Mllier, plamber, 111 Church
street, Dawson, says: “I suffered with
weak kidneys for several years. The
kidney secretions were too frequent
in passage and nights my back ached
so I couldn’t get any rest. I felt
nervous, and mornings I was stiff and
sore. Headaches were frequent and
my sight was blurred. I used Doan’s
Kidney ™ Pills, which I got at Lee’s
Drug Store, and they gave me won
derful relief. I haven’t suffered from
kidney trouble. since.” (Statement
given July 3, 1914.)
On April 15, 1918, Mr. Miller said:
“I gladly recommehd Doan’s Kidney
Pills, for I know they will do what
is claimed for them. I use Doan’s oc
casionally as a preventive.”
i Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Miller had. Foster-Milburn
