DAWSON, GA, AUG. 24rH., 1898.
BUSINESS IN DAWSON.

The business season now opening
promises to be one of the most pros
porous and satisfactory that has been
experienced IN Dawson for several
years past. The crops promise a5und-
ant yields, and it is predicted that as
good if not better prices than those of
last year will prevail.
Dawson, as usual, is prepared to
handle to the best advantage the cot
ton of the farmers of this and adjoin-
ing counties, and to sell them goods of
every description at margins 50 close
that it will be to their interest to
come here to supply their needs.
Buyers, both local and foreign, will
be IN the market anxious for cotton,
and the rivalry between them, cheaper
freight rates and better shipping ia
cilitie5 will insure the farmers better
prices in Dawson than can beobtained
in any other town within their reach
The merchants of no town offer com
pleter lines of goods than do those of
Dawson, The stocks are varied and
up-to-date, competition is sharp, and
the low prices of dry goods and gro>
ceries will IN large measure
compensate for the prevailing low
prices Of cotton.
Every business man should pull for
Dawson this fall and induce as much
trade as possible to come here. With
the proper effort much can be done.
We should make stronger pull than
ever to enlarge our territory and BRING
more people here to trade. We should
let the people know what we have to
offer in the way of inducements. A
line of live advertising would do this,
and HE NEWS presents medium that
cannot be equaled in reaching the PEG.

confidence end keep conspicuously be-
fore it what he has to offer.

THE Savannah News says there is an
understanding that the popuists of
the second district will support the
republican nominee for congress, and
supplements the statement with some
good advice to that party. Our Savan-
nah contemporary is very probably
mistaken as to the district in which
such an agreement exists. The
republican candidate in the second
district is negro preacher, and this
paper will be. very much surprised if he
receives the votes of more than two or
three white men who are in the republi,
can party as a matter of business. In
the main, the popuIsts of the second
district are good, honest people, and in
the absence of a candidate of t cir oV n
will support the democratic nominee

CorToN Statician Neill is out again
with his prediction Of an enormous
cotton crop, which he puts this year at
anywhere from 100000 to 10000, 900
bales. The persistency with which he
deals with such big figures leads the
cotton men to the irresistible conclu-
sion that he is a bear Of extraordinary
magnitude, and the English spinners,
no doubt, get the benefit of it. What
ever his motive is, there is room
for his estimates to hurt the planter
