THOUSANDS ARE DYING DAI
LY FROM HUNGER. TREES
° ARE STRIPPED FOR FOOD.
At the request of Mr. R. M. Arnau,
of Dublin, lay leader of the South
Georgia conference, Judge J. A. Laing,
lay leader in the Americus district, is
soliciting contributions to a fund for
the relief of the starving people of
China. Mr. Laing has already col
lected in Dawson and forwarded to
Mr. Arnau $6O, who in acknowledging
receipt of the money said it was the
first he had received.
Following are the names of the con
tributors and the amount given by
each: A. J. Hill $lO, R. L. Saville $0),
J. A. Laing $5, G. W. Dozier & Co.
310, C. M. Adams $l, W. H. Sirmons
1, W. P. Hornady $l, D. F. McLain
$l, J. D. Weaver $l, W. C. Lockett

Laing $l, W. J. Mathis $l, Ernest
Baldwin $l, J. S. Lowrey $l, C. D.
Cocke $l, R. E. Bell $l, Cocke Bros.
$l, cash $l.
Judge Laing is still receiving con
tributions, and any one who wishes to
have a part in this humanitarian work
can hand the amount to him. All mon
ey given for this purpose will be for
warded to China without cost, which
assures that every cent of the amount
given will be applied to the relief of
the starving people.
i Millions Are Perishing.
The area and extent of the famine
in China shows that the suffering is
far greater than in 1878, when a fam
ine resulted in millions perishing from
cold and hunger. Forty-two years
ago, however, conditions were less
serious than at present, for at that
time a wheat crop preceded the
drought.
Reports from the stricken areas,
where no rain has fallen for two years,
say that the trees of entire districts
have ‘been stripped of their leaves for
food. The starving people mix the
leaves with millet chaff, clover or
weeds, with a minimum of grain, and
bake them into cakes resembling clay.
Thousands of refugees, who are en
deavoring to migrate afoot from the
famine areas, are said to be living on
such food.
Children Offered For Sale.
Extraordinary means to obtain mon
ey for food have been reported from
all sections of the five provinces. Lit
tle children are found deserted on the
streets, and many have been rescued
from the rivers into which they had
been cast by their impoverished par
ents. The sale of children is often re
ported, much despised girl babies be
ing offered for sums as low as a dol
lar.
Reports from numerous points in
the famine districts indicate that $200,-
000,000 worth of the plainest food will
be necessary to avert the greatest loss
of life. It has been announced that
1,000 deaths are occurring daily in the
Peking district alone. Every road
northward from Changteho, in Honan,
swarms with hunger-pinched human
ity; many of them fall exhausted out
oi the weary procession to die by the
roadside; the district southwest of
Paotingfu, denuded of vegetation,
looks as though it had been swept by
a plague of ]ccufln%x% a village near
Wu Cheng an old 4nan with a basket
on his arm containing about six
pounds of red millet explained that
he had traded two overcoats and a
pair -of boots for the millet, which he
was taking to his wife and their seven
children.

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD
Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day er before retiring.
It is the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving a
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
Rub Pain and Stiffness away with
a small bottle of old honest
St. Jacobs oil
When your back is sore and lame or
Jumbago, sciatica or rheumatism has
you stiffened up, don't suffer! Get a
35 cent bottle o¥ old, honest “St. Jacobs
Qil” at any drug store, pour a little
in your hand and rub it right into
the pain or ache, and by the time you
count fifty, the soreness and lameness
is gone.
Don’t stay crippled! This soothing,
penetrating oil needs to be used only
once. It takes the ache and pain right
out of your back and ends the misery.
It is magical, yet absolutely harmless
and doesn’t burn the skin.
Nothing else stops lumbago, sciatica
and lame back misery so promptly!

MORE. THAN HALF MILLION GALLONS
OF GAS SOLD IN DAWSON LAST YEAR
The joyriders in this vicinity did
something more than burn the wind
in 1920.
They burned gas; lots of __it. And,
besides, it cost them a good many
thousands of dollars—if it all was paid
for, and presumably most of it was.
Mr. J. D. Tweedy, state oil inspec
tor at Dawson, informs The News
that during last year there were shipp
ed to Dawson 76 ¢ar loads of gasoline.
A car contains 8,000 gallons, and a lit
tle calculation shows that is ¢ total of
608,000 gallons—loB,ooo more than a
half million.
IMPROVEMENT IN TEXTILE
SITUATIONN AND ACREAGE
REDUCTION ARE FACTORS.
Spot cotton has been moving up
ward the past few days, and during
the week has scored an advance of
2¢c a pound, or $lO.OO a bale. Good
middling was quoted at 15% cents in
Dawson this morning.
The majority of traders believe the
worst is over in cotton, and predic
tions are being made that cotton will
be bringing 20 cents before March.
The feeling is general that prices have
reached the bottom.
The ginners’ report issued by the
government Monday morning showed
a total of 11,559,230 bales as compared
with 10,018,000 bales a year ago.
Decided improvement in the textile
situation in this country, bullish trade
news from Manchester and upward
movement of future confracts have
furnished the chief buying incentives.
Mills are reported buying more
freely than at any time in the last five
months, and the belief prevails that
the tendency in general business now
is definitely upward.
Optintistic statements from leading
business men and financiers of the
country, the passage of the war finance
corporation measure over the presi
dent’s veto, together with the certain
ty that the 1921 acreage will be dras
tically cut, and a revival of demand
for goods and small offerings of the
actual cotton in the belt also are fac
tors giving stimulus to the construc
tive side of the market.
Big Acreage Cut.
A 50 per cent reduction of the acre
age is the “positive assurance” given
by a careful canvass of the 800 cotton
producing counties,” according to J. S.
Wannamaker, president of the Ameri
can Cotton Association,
“We are convinced,” he says, “that
not more than one-third of the culti
vated lands in 1921 will be planted in
cotton. Thousands of farmers, large
and small, in various sections of the
cotton belt, have aken a solemn oath
that they will not plant nor permit to
be planted an acre of cotton on their
lands this year.
“The people of the south are so
thoroughly aroused over the gquestion
of acreage reduction .that this canvass
brings to light the fact that any citizen
of the south who fails to loyally stand
by this campaign will be branded,
not only for the present, but eternal
ly, as a traitor to the south.”

FERY. TMOHING SKIN |
15 QUICKLY SOOTHED
Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant cream,
will soothe and heal skin that is ir
ritated or broken out with eczema;
that is covered with ugly rash or
pimples, or is rough or dry. Noth
ing subdues fiery skin eruptions so
quickly, says a noted skin specialist.
The moment this sulphur prepara
tion is applied the itching stops and
after two or three applications, the
eczema is gone and the skin is de
lightfully clear and smooth. Sulphur
is so precious as a skin remedy be
cause it destroys the parasites that
cause the burning, .itching or dis
figurement. Mentho-Sulphur always
heals eczema right up. €
A small jar of Mentho-Sulphur
may be had at any good drug store.
A further calculation shows that at
30 cents a gallon, which it below the
price at which most of it was retailed,
automobile owners here paid $18240
for “juice” the last twelve months.
This does not include oil for the buzz
buggies, which will run the figures
well above $20,000.
Mr. Tweedy reports that during the
year he also inspected 18 car loads of
kerosene 0i1—14,400 gallons. The price
of this commodity, used mostly for
household purposes, was 20 cents per
gallon, making it cost the consumers
$2,880. :
NEGRO HIGHWAYMEN
ALL IN JAIL AT PRESTON. ONE
CF THE PRISONERS KNOWN
AS A DESPERADO.
Near Weston Frank Clarke, Dave
Clarke and the latter’s wife, ne
groes, were held up by Foy Thornton,
Will Mayes and James Bell, negroes,
and robbed of $4l.
The hold-up was engineered in true
wild west fashion, Thornton and his
two pals wearing masks, which, how
ever, did not prevent their being rec
ognized.
May and Bell were arrested soon
after the robbery by Sheriff Christian
and placed in jail at Preston.
Thornton eluded the sheriff but was
captured two or three days later at the
home of a relative in Randolph coun
ty. The fugitive, who had boasted he
would never be arrested by a white
man, took refuge in the house where
he was captured when nearly exhaust
ed, having been chased for two days
by Webster county officers. Mar
shal C. H. Patterson, of Weston; H.
C. Reeves, S. €. Brightwell and Har
old Vaughan, county warden of Web
ster, were with Sheriff Christian when
he arrested Thornton. A .38 calibre
revolver belonging to Thornton lay
alongside his bed, and when surprised
by the officers the negro rcached for
his gtin, but Sheriff Christian secured
the weapon first.
Thornton admitted to the arresting
officers his participation in the rob
bery.
