iIS COMING IN RAPIDLY AND
. LOCAL- WAREHOUSES HAVE
RECEIVED 1,050 BALES.
Cotton has advanced three cents a
pound in the past two weeks, and the
indications are that a further advance
will take place, say local dealers.
The staple was quoted in Dawson
this morning at 154 cents a pound
for strict middling, and 15c¢ for mid
dling. This is the highest price since
last February. Local warehouses have
received by wagon 1,050 bales.
The rise is attributed to scarcity of
the staple and aggressive buying from
the strongest interests in the trade, in
cluding heavy buying for Liverpool
and Japanese accounts.
Demand was accelerated by the
swelling flood of deterioration reports
from all sections of the belt, particu
larly the southwest, where baking\
temperatures have wrought disaster to
the Texas and .Oklahoma crops. Wee
vil ravages and excessive rains have
caused unprecedented deterioration in
the eastern <belt.
THE CITY SCHOOLS WILL
OPEN ON SEPTEMBER 12TH
Record Attendance Is Expected. A

be marked by a record attendance. An

been selected and with the co-opera
tion of the patrons, whose interest can
usually be counted on in every depart
ment of the work, the success of the
school is assured.

fifty-two Dawson citizens were pre
sented before Judge Edwards of the

under advisement after a somewhat
extended presentation of the case by
Attorneys S. B. Lippitt, of Albany,
representing the plaintiff, and Yeo
mans & Wilkinson, R, R. Jones and
Parks & Parks, representing the de
fendant. Among the grounds of the
demurrer urged by the defendants is
that the contract sued upon is invalid
because it was not signed by all the
persons mentioned as parties to it.
New Trial Denied in Damage Case.
Another matter presented to the
court Saturday was the motion for a
new trial in the case of Mrs. Edna Mc
‘Gill against the Pittman Construction
Company and City of Dawson, Judge

will be taken to the court of appeals.

struction company for $1,500 for per
sonal injuries received when she fell
into a ditch, the accident being due,
she claimed, to the negligence or fault
of the construction company while en
gaged in carrying on the paving opér
ations in Dawson. She was awarded a
verdict in the city court of $750.
