The recent defeats of constitutional
prohibition cannot be regarded as vic
tories for the liquor interest. 1t is on
ly a question Of method. High license
has won in those communities where the
test has been made because temperance
men have thought it betterto have high
license laws enforced than prohibitory
laws unenforced. The times are not
ripe for prohibition in those States in
which the vote has recently been taken.
1t viii not do to push things too fast
There needs to be little more work
done on moral basis. High license
or any kind OF license or prohibition
must have moral force behind them
to give them their proper effect

There is no chance 10 down
Dawson.
In pluck, energy and enterprise
she leads.
Every branch OF business pre-
sents an air of eheerfutuess, super.
induced by the bright influences of
so much cotton.
Dawson is going to have the
cotton if good prices and fair DEAL
in2s will get it. 1t has long since
been conceded that Dawson is one
of the best cotton markets in
Southwest Georgia. We paw as
much for cotton as Macon, AL
bany or Americus.
The prices in Dawson have been
very favorable, ranging the past
week from lot to II cents. At
such prices why shouldn't we get
the cotton? Good solid prices
crafty the farmers, and, like all
other business men, they are going
to sell their produce and buy goods
where the most suitable prices can
be obtained.
Dawson has every facility for
handling cotton-treight rates are
splendid, buyers liberal, and our
warehousemen are untiring in their
efforts to please their patrons, and
guard their interests closely, and
secure for them the best prices
possible, all of which can be veri-
fed by former patrons, and will
stimulate the planters TO hurry
their cotton to this market,
Besides b4ing a superb cotton
market, Dawson pays the very tips
top price for any other produce
you may have for sale. which can
easily be substantiated by
the thousands who buy and sell
here.
We are proud of the town for
many other reasons, The extent
of our cash and credit sIes will
compare favorahly with any town
of equal number OF population.
Our merchants are wide awake and
are pot afraid to assert that they
will duplicate prices in any line of
merchandise. Prices are as low
as can be afforded by Other towns.
The quality of goods sold here will
STAND the test with any of our
Dawson buys more
cotton, and pays as much for it as
any town in Georgia.
This is not written under the
heat of excitement, and is no flimsy
fabrication to allure the unsus>

A TRIO of Dawson Bellies are Carried

The Gallant RescGer.
One evening last week, while
driving in the vicinity of.the lows
er culrert, Misses Ola Stevens, Cleo
Farnum and Sallie VIII Pickett
met with quite an exciting expe>
rience. The public road, and
railroad, 1t will be remembered,
are quite close at that point, and
ION the opposite side is a very dense
aud marshy swamp, and if one
happens to meet II train while
driving there, unless his steed is
very gentle there will surely be a
runaway. The steed was rot an
exception, and when the afternoon
freight came laundering behind
them, with the noise of pande>
monium, the horse decided it was
no. place for him, and in the
yernaculAr of 10c novels, "the
noble courser, with distended nos
trils and ;eyes flashing fire, filled
with awe at the oncoming train,
carried the maidens far into the
forest" where a short time aierS
wards they were rescued by no.
Bile young man named George
Monroe Roberts. The freight
train carried the news TO the
depot, and several gentlemen
started in pursuit. Luckily no one
was hurt, not even the buggy, and
with the exception ola little fright
and mud, the young ladie ruturn>
ed to the paternal roof noae the
worse for wear.
