new COTTON COMING in.
DAWSON HAS RECEIVEDMORE
THAN A HUNDRED BALES.
Receipts Ahead of Those of Any
Other Town. 1t Is Opening
With Rush.

The cotton crop of southwest Georgia
Is openlngrapidlY, and wagons have al
ready begun rolling into market load
ed with woll-packed bales of the south s
greatest staple.
Receipts in Dawson are ahead OF
those of any other town in the state,
one hundred bales of new cotton hav-
ing been marketed here up to Saturday
night. Several more bales have since
been brought in, and in few days
the receipts will go far over the hun
'dred mark daily.
The fearful heat of the past few days
has given black eye to the bright
prospects existing up to that time.
The cotton stalk was full of sap and has
withered and burned under the intense
rays of the sun. Large fields have been
blistered by the heat and rust, and
in some fields forms and young bolls can
be raked off the grou nd by the basket
full. Even the past week has witness
ed great change in the prospect, sand
Notwithstanding that better prices are
prevailing the farmers are feeling
somewhat blue.
New cotton brought 81 cents in

GEORGlA'S CROPS IMPROVED.
Reports Received from One Hundred and
Thirteen Counties.

ATLANTA, Aug 1O.-The crops of
Georgia have improved materially
in the last few weeks. Commissioner
of Agriculture Stevens said this morn
ing be had received reports from 113
counties Of the state this month, and
nearly every report an improve
ment in the condition of the crops. In
speaking of the matter Mr.. Stevens
said:
"The crops in Georgia have made a
wonderful improvement in the last
few weeks. The crops in south Geor-
gia are really made and are as fine as
usual. In middle Georgia the cotton
and corn are about two weeks late, and
are in fair condition. The poorest
crop is in north Georgia, where the
heavy rains during June seemed to
have had the greatest effect.
"The cotton acreage this year is
about the same, though [ don't think
the amount of cotton will be as large
as last year. The corn crop this year
will be better than in many seasons.
1t has been a great season for upland
corn, while the corn in the swamps
has almost been ruined
"The cotton will begin to come in
from now on, and | expect that the
south Georgia crop will be marketed
by Sept. Is if sufficient number OF
hands can be secured to gather it,
South Georgians are having great
trouble in securing labor"

PARROT PARAGRAPHS.
Death Of a Sweet Little Girl Threshed
1900 Bushels of Wheat.

PARROTT, August 13.-Mr. A. J. Lee
has threshed at his stationary thresh
here thirteen hundred bushels OF
wheat up to the present, and Mr..
Wright, at his mill just above here,
has ground into -four eighteen hun
dred bushels of wheat. Our farmers
are preparing to live at home and live
well. There are sixteen families with
in five miles OF ParrOtt who will have
flour enough to last twelve months and
some to spare. Farmers need never
say again that wheat can not be grown
successfully in this section.
1t is with the greatest sadness we
chronicle the death of sweet little
Jennie Pinkston, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. r. Pinkston. 1t is par
ticularly sad, because she was the first
born and the brightest little one have
ever seen, the JOY not only of the
household butEhe pet of all who knew
her. Our whole community grieves
with the stricken family and tender
heartfelt sympathy. Words fail us
when we would offer comfort to the
loved ones, and we can only commend
them to God, who "doeth all things
well, and pray that as he tempers the
winds to the shorn lamb so he will
pour the balm of consolation into these
desolate hearts and temper this sad af-
Fiction so shat it may work out for
them far greater and eternal weight
of glory hereafter.
This section of Terrell county can
boast of the finest crops of both corn
and cotton it has ever made. Corn will
be cheap here this fall, and if the
weather continues favorable we will
have the best cotton crop ever made
here.

ANOTHER BLUFF that the Re-
publicans are trying to work on the
country is in connection with the
repeal of portion of the war reve-
nue. act, and consequent reduc-
tion of the surplus of $l50,000,000
which will be piled up in the
Treasury by June of next year.
The members of the House, who
are nearest to the people and who
have most to fear by their resent
ment next fall, are pretending to
urge the repeal of some of these
features of the war tax, but the
members of their "wicked partner"
the Senate, are resisting it. After
while, it will be given out that
nothing will be attempted because
the Senate will not consent. AS a
matter Of fact, neither the Prcsi-
dent nor the party wishes to reduce
taxation. The Treasury now has
some 1926, 100000 loaned out to fav.
ored banks throughout the country
By next fall there will be $75, 5,000,0 ,00C
more to loan. No interest is asked
on this, and the banks will be told
that if the Republican party re-
mains in power. the money will be
continued to them indefinitely
What Is more probable than that
the grateful banks will insist or
contributing to the Republican
campaign fund small portion Of
the amount they would have to pay
in interest if they should borrow
the same amount of money else
where. Oh no, to repeal the wal
tax would cut off at least $2,000,00(
of campaign funds to be derived
from the banks and the Republi
cans are not anxious for anything
of that sort. Representative De
Almond, of Missouri, has introduc
ed bill to require the banks t.
pay interest to the government OF
these deposits, but nothing is mor'
certain than that it will be mother
ed in committee.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1900-04-26

THE PARTY in power will now go
through the motions of making
bluff at the repeal or limitation of
some Of the enormous powers con-
ferred on the carpet-bag govern
ment of Porto Rico by the bill re-
Gently adopted. That they will
readily alter them, no one on the
inside believes for an instant. In
fact, the second step in the con-
spiracy to loot the island was taken
the other day, when the President
sent to Congress request that it
legislate so as to permit the present
military Office holders to retain
their posts until August, 30 as to
allow time for the selection of a
civil staff for the island. BY that
time, Congress will have undoubt.
edly adjourned and it will be un-
necessary for the names OF the men
selected to be sent to the Senate
for confirmation and they will hold
Office until next December at the
very least, without the possibility
of interference from any source.
With the vast powers conferred on
them, with no personal interest in
the well being of the island, with
the desire to reward the corpora.
tions which will have dictated
their appointments, there is little
doubt that they will make toler-
able clean sweep of the franchises
of the island before next winter,
and will have tied the Porto Ricans
up in knot which they will never
be able to release. Many of the
older states OF the Union are still
struggling vainly to free them
selves from charters granted many
years ago, before the nature of
semi-public corporations we're fully
known, charters which prescribe
that gas companies, street railways,
and what not, shall be free of taxa
tion, shall pay no percentage of
their earnings to the city or state,
shall charge just exactly what
prices they may choose for their
services, and shall enjoy these
rights perpetually. It is impossible
that Congress should have insisted
80 vigorously on comforting the
power to grant such franchises as
these on carpet-bag government
appointed exclusively by the Presi-
dent without there having been
some one back of the scheme who
was to profit by it. II is impossible,
also, that any attempt to change
the law now that IL is once passed,
should meet with success. The
shameful robbery has begun and
will 60 on. The chance for fat
pickings has brought horde of ad-
venturers and place hunters of high
and low degree to Washington, and
the White House has been throng-
ed with them. Senators and Rep
resentatives who did the Presi-
dents bidding in voting for the
Porto Rican bill have called ia
droves asking for their reward In
the shape OF franchises, concessions
or Offices for their hungry constitu-
ents, and nothing Is more certain
than that they will get 1t.

Blow at the Administration.

CANTON, o., April l9.--The Stark
county Republican convention, after
a hot fight today, instructed its ~
delegates to Che state convention to
vote for Howard Warrington for
secretary of state. 1t was a hot
fight and it was the letter from
Charles Dick, that had been gener-
ouslr circulated, that aid the bust.
ness tor Warrington. Judge Faw-
sett, leading Republican Of Canton,
roundly scored Dick in sensational
speech in which he said the inter
ference of such politicians was an in
suit to the intelligence Of the Repub-
licans Of the county.
The result in Stark county is not
only a repudiation of President Nc
Kinley's choice for secretary OF
state, but strikes back at Governor
Nash for not appointing Julius Whit
lug a member of the board Of mana
gers of the Ohio penitentiary. The
peculiar feature in the contest is that
with Laylin as the avowed candidate
of both the national and state adj
ministrations, tho Manningtonians
swept Governor Nash's home coun-
ty, captured two-thlrds of the dele
gates in Hanna's own county accord
ing to their reckoning, and then &c
in and win the presidents own coun-
ty away from the administration.
