But Little Cotton will Be Made in Louisi-
ana. Texas and Mississippi.


All the evidence goes to show that
Neill's estimate of the cotton crop is
totally wrong. Letters received in the
city daily from all parts of the SOUTH
show that the injury to the crop has
been general. A letter received In the
city yesterday from gentleman resld-
ing near Shreveport, La, in the Red
river section, gives the following infor-
nation of the conditions there:
During the last week there have
been many planters in town from all por..
tons of the parish, and the report OF
one was the story of all, with slight varla-
tons. One from the Hills states that
out of given piece of land from which
he picked twenty-s bales of cotton last
year he will not get six bales this year.
Another, a river PLANTER, states that OIL
of $50 acres, which he thought in July
would make two-thirds of bale to the
acre, he will probably get twenty bales.
Colonel NJ, Red liver planter, whose
crop usually foots up 1,2O0 to l,oOO
bales, says that the cotton crop is ruin
ed and that no amount of rain will do
any good. In the parishes just south OF
US a large number of planters are
through picking. And SO it goes. What
is true of this section of the state holds
good for all the state, all of east and
central Texas, and all of Mississippi. =

WHAT PLEAsES A MAN.

1t pleases man to have woman love
him.
1t pleases him to have woman lead
him in the way he wants to go.
it pleases him TO have woman some
times treat him as a great big baby, to
be cared for, pettei and caresSed
1t pleases him to have woman favor
him with her attentions accordingly.
1t pleases him 10 have a woman's eyes
expressing the appreciation, approval and
admiration the lips do not speak.
1t pleases him to have wOman's hand
smooth away the carewOrn expression
and wrinkles from his brow. 1t pleases
him TO have a wOmau's strength help
him over the weak places in life.
1t pleases a worthy man who tries to
be good to have a sweet woman lead him
in the way called beautiful. A woman
can sink a man to dismal depths or help
him rise to dizzy heights. Her fTown
can depress him, her smile inspire him.

Governor Gambler, in keeping his
pledge to tie people that he would en-
deavor to bring about reduction IN
state taxes, has done well. The reduc-
ton is nearly 20 per cent. The govern
or is a statesman of the old>fashioned
kind who believes that the only way to
reduce is to reduce. In cutting down
the rate he accelerates the movement OF
capital to Georgia and in this way pro-
notes the industrial growth of the state
and increases taxable values. The gov
ernor was not to be diverted from the
fulf1llment of his promise by the usual
scarecrOws that are raised whenever
anybody proposes that taxes oe lowered.
He stuck to his literal text and the tax
payers are, therefore, to be fehcitated
upon his fidelity.
The example set by the governor in
the matter of state taxes should be fol-
lowed by all c"unty commissioners and
city councils throughout the state,
wherever reductions may be effected
without serionS injury to the public in
terests

The opinion prevails among cotton
men quite generally that the crop has
been badly hurt in several states by
the drought, worms and rust, and the
yield is being cut down also by shed
ding on an extensive scale. 1t is un-
fortunate for the cotton growers that
Mr. Neill, who is about the only one
who thinks the crop will be a large
one this year, has on two or three oc.
casions guessed pretty closely to the
cotton yield. 1t has in measure gain
ed for him the confidence of the cotton
spinners of Europe, and, by leading
them to make their purchases on the
basis of his prediction, causes the
farmers of the south to lose millions OF
dollars annually.

THE farmers may depend upon it
that Dawson will pay the highest mark

them to carry their cotton to other

the end, better prices for it. Dawson's
advantages in point of location,
competitive buyers and the fact that
her merchants carry the most COM

this one of the most advantageous

A COTTON FACTORY.

A cotton factory has long been DIS
Cussed as the proper enterprise to give
a stimulus to business ia Dawson.
With liberal subscription from our
home people enough foreign capital
could be obtained to put a mill here.
Fort Valley has recently induced the
owners of large mill ia Name to re-
move their plant there, and Dawson
has only to make the proper showing
to secure a mill.
Southern cotton mills stand at the
he5j of all other investments as dlvl-
dend earners. As an illustration of
this fact we note that a mill in York
county, South Carolina, with capital
stock of 500 900, has just paid divi-
dend of $26, 900, which is Al per cent.
on the investment. This dividend al
so completes the payment to the stock
holders of every cent invested IN the
plant since its establishment.
This is the story of nearly all the
mills in the south, and what is done in
other places can be done in Dawson.
