RAIN DOING AS MUCH DAM
AGE AS BOLL WEEVIL. THE
" BOLLS ARE ROTTING.
The cotton outlook in Terrell coun
v and (hroughout this section is any
thing but encouraging, and there is
po doubt that the crop will be one of
the smallest ever produced here.
Gince January lst more rain has
ialilt‘” thap was ever before known,
and the crop Wwas planted and culti
sted with a great excess of moisture.
:\‘l.\\; that harvest time has come the
pains continue. It rained all of the
ast week, and farmers say rain is
é‘a,;m more damage than boll wee
¢ils. They report that the bolls are
n’,!'[.;“g and, besides, picking has been
retarded and .the staple damaged by
fain. Only a Tew bales, due to bad
weather, were brought to market the
past week, but with a few days of
of sunshine the staple will come to
the Dawson warehouses daily by hun
dreds of bales. :
11,000,000 Bales in Prospect.
While early large cotton crop pros
pects have been reduced, in the south
west by heat and drouth and in the
eastern states by excessive rains apd
weevil activity, there is strong belief
that the crop will not fall short of
11,000,000 bales unless calamity over
ams present indications during the
remainder of the season.
Three private reports were issued
Friday, being in line with other re
cent figures. Norman, Mayer & Com
pany placed conditions of the crop at
564, against 70.4 a month ago, indi
ating a crop of 11,285,000 bales,
against 12.100,000 bales last month,
“National Ginners’ Association plac
ed condition at 55.4, against 70.6 last
month, indicating a crop of 11,000,000
bales. as compared. with 12,080,000
bales. their end of July estimate.
Watkins Bureau placed conditions
at 57.6, against 70.3 last month, indi
cating a vield of 10,800,000 bales; as
compared with 11,428,000 a month ago.
Government condition as of July 25
last was 67.2, indicating a crop of 11,-
516,000 bales. Condition on August
25 1922, was 57 per cent of normal,
indicating a yield of 11,575,000 bales.
It is believed that the world will
readily absorb this season’s crop at
profitable prices. A 11,080,000-bale
crop marketed at present prices would
bring the south almost $1,350,000,000,
exclusive of the value of the seed,
which would add millions to the total.
Should Georgia's crop total only
800.000 bales at present prices the
staple would bring the state’s grow
ers more than $98,000,000, and after
adding the value of the seed the ag
gregate would eoar far above the
$100,000,000 mark.
WATER SOLD AT AUCTION.
Water was recently sold at auction
in Aden, one of the hottest places on
earth, when a rainfall filled tanks with
3,000,000 gallons of the liquid.

ANOTHER CHICKEN
SALE IS ANNOUNCED
WILL BE HELD EARLY IN SEP
TEMBER. FARMERS URGED
TO PREPARE AT ONCE.
The third co-operative chicken sale
at Dawson will be held soon after the
first of September.
It is the intention of those in charge
to make this the largest and most
profitable of any sale that has yet been
held. For this reason everyone who
intends bringing chickens is urged to
communicate with R. D. Smith or H.
A. Petty at once relative to the num
ber they will offer for sale.
If this is done it will be much eas
ier to decide upon a definite date for
the sale, and also to arrange to have
marketing bureau experts here on the
appointed date.
Co-operative sales of chickens in the
past have proven very popular, and
also profitable to those who have dis
posed of fowls. This method of sell
ing entirely eliminates a “house to
house canvass, and since the chickens
are weighed and graded more money
is realized than through any other
way of putting them on the market.
New Corset Styles Give
66 "
Dumpy” Woman a Chance
Designers Have Lavished Attention
On Them in Autumn Fashions.
Corset designers who have prepared
the new autumn lines seem to be of
one mind with Lord Byron, who in
one of his poems exclaimed, “I hate
a’dumpy woman.” While dumpy wo
men cannot be entirely eliminated
from the scheme of. things by mere
wishing therz seems to be a concert
ed scheme 4ioot to make them seem
less dumpy. “More than ever—and this
is saying a good deal—have designers
lavished their attention on length of
line, the Dry Goods Economist re
ports. .
Some of the new garter brassiers
recall the days of the sheath skirt, so
slimly are they cut, and so careful do
they lenghten the natural lines of the
grace is more evident in such gar
ments than in the. actual corsets,
though these, too, center their plans
upon natural contours, lengthened
wherever lengthening may be done
without sacrificing symmetry and
comfort.
GETTING RID OF MICE.
To rid the house of mice too wary
of the trap buy a small amount of
powdered colomel—five cents worth is
sufficient—mix it well with a tea
spoonful of butter and spread on bread.
Cut this in small pieces and place
around the house. The mice will go
off to die, leaving no odor.
COLORED PEOPLE
* PASS RESOLUTIONS
APPRECIATE USE OF TENT
FOR REVIVAL SERVICES.
CONTINUE THIS WEEK.
The following resolutions, offered
by E. J. Mathis, were unanimously
adopted at the colored tent meeting
which is now being held on west Lee
street:
“Whereas, Rev. S. F. Lowe, pastor
of the First Baptist church of Daw
son, has been untiring in his efforts
to secure for us this tent and a noted
evangelist, Rev. A. A. Mathis, to con
duct evangelical services for the bene
fit of the colored people of Dawson
and Terrell county of all denomina
tions, and which we believe will result
in much good for Christian fellowship
and the spreading of God’s kingdom
among our people, therefore be it re
solved:
“First, that the thanks of the color
ed people of Dawson and Terrell
county be extended to Rev. S. F.
Lowe and the other good white peo
ple of Dawson for making it passible
for us to hold this meeting.
“Second, that we extend thanks to
the mayor and council of Dawson for
furnishing lights without cost.
“And be it resolved further, that our
thanks be extended to each and every
one who has or may hereafter in any
way contribute in making it possible
for us to hold this meeting.
“We pray God’s richest blessings
upon Rev. Lowe, the mayor and coun
cil and the other good white citizens
who have aided and encouraged us.
We pray that this effort will redound
to the glory of God and the uplift of
man.” /
The meeting is growing in interest
every night. Large crowds are in at
tendance at every. service, and Rev.
Mathis is preaching strong, spiritual
sermons. Many are going to the altar
for prayer, and the outlook is bright
for a great revival among the colored
people. All the pastors and their con
gregations are uniting in the services.
