in this crop next fall.
The movement promises to be a
helpful one to those who are interested

Negro Attempted to
~ Pass a Worthless Check
Required Combined Efforts of Several
| Men to Put Him in Jail
John Stanley, a negro, is in jail on
the charge of trying to pass a bad
check for $9 at the store of W. W.
Black and Son. The negro offered the
check in payment for goods, expecting
to receive some change in money, but
when Mr. Black noticed that it was
signed only with the initials “C. A.
H. H.” he sent for an officer and had
the negro arrested.
On reaching the jail Stanley refused
to enter and resisted the officers. Three
or four men came to their rescue and
after a considerable tussle the negro
was subdued and placed in a cell. He
said his home was at Georgetown in
Quitman county.

PRICE HAS DROPPED FROM 39
TO 10 CENTS IN TWELVE
MONTHS’ TIME.
July 31st marked the close of the
old cotton season, and yesterday, Au
gust Ist, was the opening of the new
season. 1
The past year the warehouses of
Dawson received by wagon 13,350
bales of cotton. They now have on
hand 3,739 bales of former crops.
The year has seen the price of cot
ton drop nearly 30 cents a pound. The
highest price for middling during the
yvear was 40 cents and the lowest 9 3-4
cents.
The price offered for cotton last
August was 39 cents. By the first week
of last December the price had dropp
ed to 16 1-4 cents. This continual drop
ping in price struck terror to the hearts
of farmers, who saw the money they
expected to realize from their labor
becoming a dead loss.
Better Days Coming. |
Better days in the cotton business
are looked forward to with the start
ing of the new season. While the for
eign shipments have been considerably
less than those of last year, it is ex
pected with a more settled condition
prevailing in Europe industrial life will
reawaken there and there will come a
stronger demand for American cotton.
Japan and China are already becoming
somewhat heavy buyers of American
cotton, their demand for the season
totaling 57,417 bales. It is believed
with a steady and strong demand for
American cotton from abroad the price
of this great necessity will gradually
rise. i
SARDIS BAPTIST CHURCH &
ENTERTAINS CONVENTION
Splendid Programs Were Arranged

dinner was served on the grounds Sat
urday, the visitors being entertained in
hte homes on Sunday at the noon
hour.
“How to keep hold the Sunday
school pupils for the preaching ser
vice,” was one of the important sub
jects under discussion. Dr. Carl W.
Minor made the most encouraging re
port on percentage of church members
enlisted in Sunday school work. His
church had 95 per cent. Not as many
‘ministers as usual attended this con
vention, a number being engaged in
protracted services 'at the different
churches.
‘ Rev. S. F. Lowe had a prominent
part in the discussion of subjects of
vital interest to the church.

igripping chapters of American frontier
history is revived on the screen in
‘Marshall Neilan’s picture version of
'Randall Parrish’s stirrin_g story, “Bob
Hampton of Placer,” which comes to

soldiers to reproduce in this motion
picture of General Custer’s gallant last
stand against the Indian tribes of the
far west.
James Kirkwood has the title role
in this story, which is one of love and

red men under Sitting Bull. Wesley

freckles will also be seen in a role es
pecially created for him by Mr. Neilan.

Dwight Crittenden, who portrays Gen
eral Custer, Tom Gallery, Priscilla

tious effort yet made by Marshall Neil
an, who has to his credit several nota
ble cinema successes of recent years.
It was photographed among the scenic
grandeurs of Glacier National Park
and on the actual site of Custer’s last
stand.
