OUR COTTON MARKET.

Cotton is opening very rapidly in
the fields and in few days all the
goads leading to Dawson will be lined
with wagons heading for the best cot
ton market in southwest Georgia.
Dawson has gained this reputation
by paying the very best prices. And
she is going to hold it again this sea-
son by doing the very same thing, and
farmers who bring their cotton here
can be sure of getting the most for it
that anybody any town can pay.
Several buyers are already on the
field and several more are coming,
and every cent that it is worth will be
paid for every bale of cotton brought
here. Soon the streets of Dawson
will be working alive with the farmers
wagons. They will not only come from
Terrell county farms, but from several
adjoining counties, and our merchants
who advertise will drive heavy trade.

STATE SPECIALS.

In the Madison Advertiser, which

prOhi bition fight now on in Morgan

offer from some of the business men of
Madison who believe in the future of
Madison, and who do not believe prohi-
bition will hurt the town, to buy any
and all property at its present market
value, should any one wish to sell on
account of the prohibition victory so
close to hand. This is a new and forci-
BILE way of meeting the argument that
prohibition will cripple business and de-
stroy values.

DR.. GAMBRELL ron GOVERNOR.

This year has been pregnant with
political surprises. The latest is that
Rev. DR.. j. B. Gambrell, the distin-
guished Baptist divine and ex-presi-
dent of Mercer University, will likely
be candidate for governor on fusion
ticket nominated by the populists and
prohibitionists. Color is given to the
report by a card to the Atlanta Jour
nal in which DR.. Gambrell says he
would accept such a nomination.
DR.. Gambrell is at present the Geor-
gia correspondent for a number of Bap-
fist publications, and is travelling
great deal. He is known and regarded
as man of great intellect, of a noble
christian character, and of strong, hon
est courage. AS president of Mercer
University he made a reputation for
business capacity that added tos his
many virtues as a man. He is held in
high esteem by members of all parties,
and is not regarded as partisan in the
general acceptance of that word,
- The state populist convention will
meet in Atlanta tomorrow, and it will
soon be known what kind of a dicker

A DISPATCH from Lincoln, Neb.,
states that the sound money democrats
Of that state have succeeded in getting
a promise from j. Sterling Morton,
secretary of agriculture, to become a
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton of sound money democrats. 1t is
is probable that Secretary Morton
would answer as well as any other man
to lead sound money democratic tick
ct. He is pretty we'll known through
out the country and wouldn't poll a
very big vote, even in Nebraska, the
state from which he was appointed to
his present position. There will hard
ly be fierce contest for the presiden-
tial nomination of sound money demo-
Gratis, if they should decide to have a
ticket, and there is no reason why Sec
rotary Morton shouldn't have the emp
ty honor.

THE Thomasville Times remarks
about this "astute" editor and his
beagle eye," and theh informs Us that
it made 'gross clerical error" in
publishing the number of votes receiv-
ed by the Thomas Icounty sound
money congressional delegates.
Our contemporary corrects it's figures
and says the vote in Thomas county for
sound money was 1,13O instead of
$50. We willingly assist in correcting
our neighbor's error, and hope he will
not be so badly ratified again by de-
feat as to be unable to present correct
election returns. We still believe,
too, that an over amount of persuasion
would not have been necessary to have
induced Thomas to join in the recent
landslide.
