Our Cotton the Worlds Best.

From the New York World.
A Berlin dispatch tells of a proposed
international cotton conference" to
be held in the capital for the purpose
Of" eucouragta4 otton production in
Africa by England, Germany, France"
and other European manufacturing
nations. Only a few days ago the
London Times reported the Lancashire
cotton manufacturers as eager to ind
a new source of supply for their raw
material. British agents have been re-
Gently reported in Egypt, studying the
cotton growing possibilities OF that
country. In India, cotton is grown
with success-such as il is. Its staple
is too short for 1t to become serious
competitor with our southern product.
England's earliest attempt to find a
substitute for oar cotton was during
the Lancashire famine, caused by our
civil war. when southern ports were
blnckaded. 1t was then that India
became an experimental cotton coun.
try. John Bright, ridicuiing the Tory
idea of that time that lancashire
looms could be fed with Surat india
cotton. told of a Manchester minister
Who prayed the Lord to send cotton
for its factories and wasinterrupted by
an earnest voice from the pews: But
not Surat cotton, . Lord" Indian
cotton still remains an inferior article.
Probably England will continue for
indefinite years to come to look TO
these United States, as she does now.
for the bulk of the over 100000, 900
worth of raw cotton which she annual
IL buys from abroad-and the rest of
Europe likewise.

8 o'clock and at IL called his family

The election is over. We had the
largest vote at the Twelfth District
Saturday for some time. The vote for

iel 1859, J. F. G. Daniel 1874, M. l.. Ellis
80, The total vote was 243.
Mr.. j. F. G. Daniel makes one OF the
BEST officers we ever had in the
Twelfth district He always looks
after the interest of the people, and
this accounts for the heavy vote Sat

CRIMINAL CARELEsSNEss.

It. is getting to be not an lnfrequenC
occurrence for some mule or pair Vi
mules attached to a wagon 10 go ca
,oarino along Dawson's business
s,raats especially on Saturday after
moons. seriously endangering the lives
and limbs of pedestrians. The drivers
usually negro farm hands, toss the
lines carelessly into the wagons they
have charge of, and leave them stand
ine while purchases are made. the
mules, often young and fiery, are lett
to follow the uncertain dictates OF
their own sweet wills.
On Saturday afternoon one OF THESE
runaways occurred, and the wagon
came near dashing into buggy con
tanning two ladies, missing it by only
a few inches. Monday morning an
other wagon came tearing up MAN
street, narrowly escaping a COLLISION
with the fire departments hose wagon
This criminal carelessness Is eX-
tremely liable to cause some gooo cl'l-
zen of Dawson to find himself with
broken limb or Uranium, and 1t should
be stopped. it wouldn't be bad idea
for the mayors court to impose a few
fines in such cases. Several dollars
paid by the reckless drivers into the
municipal treasury would undoubtedly
have a salutary effect.

TAX INCREASED ON COCA COLA.
Raised from Three Hundred to One ThOus-
and Dollars.

Drinkers of coca-cola may have to
paw more for this delicious beverage
in future and perhaps get a smaller
glass for five cents. The house of re-
representatives. after sharp debate, has
increased the tax on manufacturers of
coca-cola from $500 to $1,000. DR..
Kelly, OF Glascock, made bitter at
tack on coca-cola, stating that it was
one of the most dangerous drugs ex-
taut and that it was wrecking the
health and lives of thousands OF men,
women and children. Representative
Crimson, of Decatur stated from infor-
nation he had from leading physi-
clans in the house and in the state it's
use was largely due to the great in :
crease in the use of morphine and
other similar drugs.
