The action of the senate in striking
out of the Panama canal bill the Sec
tion providing for a government depos'
itory on the Isthmus of Panama nat
urally suggests the question, what is
the canal going to cost? OF course we
know what the estimate of the COM
mission that Investigated the matter
is. but there seems to be an impression
nov that the cost will greatly exceed
that, says the Savannah News.
1t appears to be admitted by mem
bers of the commission now that the
canal cannot be completed within the
time thst was estimated in the COM
mission g report. If to complete the
canal is going to take several years
longer than it was thought it would it

MERCER 3 COTTON CHOPPER
FORMER DAWSON MAN lNVENTS A MA.
CHINE THAT WILL THIN COTTON.
Claims That 1t Can Be Successfully 0per-
ated, and will Do the Work of Eight
or Ten Men a Day.

The Eufaula Progress says that Mr..
c.. G. Mercer of Georgetown, former
citizen of Dawson, has invented cot
ton chopper. that actual tests have
proved to be success.
Mr.. Mercer claims that the machine
will do the work OF eight or ten men
per day, in that it will successfully
block eight to twelve acres per day.
"My machine" he says, Twill enable
a man to thin out his cotton the first
week, so that he can take the same
mule and commence sweeping his cot
ton the latter part of the week. You
will readily'see the immense advant-
age it is to the one horse white farmer
who is dependent solely on his own
and his familys labor for the cultiva-
ton of his crop. He rides on the ma
chine and does the work in few days,
and his family do not have to brOil
and blister under the hot sun for two
or three weeks in order to do the same
work. In addition, anYpractical'tarm-
err will tell you that getting your cot
ton thinned at the proper time some
years will make a difference of from
one TO teree bales of cotton per pillow.
Again, my machine enables man to
be his own judge as to the proper
time to thin his cotton, and he can go
to bed comfortably at hight without
worrying his head about the growing
grass and his inability to get enough
hands in the field to do the work so
quickly that his cotton will not re.
ceive a setback. Suppose that he
could get all the hands needed the
item of cost is considerable, but you
know the conditions in the South are
such that it is extremely rare when a
man can get enough labor to rush
along his work, and if one man is sue
cessful it is at the expense of his
neigh Dor. By using my machine at
the proper time and following quickly
with the sweep the grass never gets a
chance to grow, so that when it is
time to hoe the second time the ma
chine and the pillow have have put the
cotton to practical stand, have pre-
vented the grass from getting foot
hold, and in only few places has any
hoeing to be done"

Suggestions Are Already Cropping Gus to Make the
Cost Big Than Was Originally Intended

I itation in favor Of a sea level canal.
Some of the engineers are pointing
out that 1t will not cost much if any
more to construct a sea level canal
than one with locks. Indeed, the cues
tion as to whether a canal with locks
can be made success is being serious"
ly discussed. There will have to be a
dam to create lake, and the doubt is
about the possibility of getting a sub
stantial foundation for dam. And
then the point is made that in the
event of war involving the United
States a single dynamite cartridge
would be sufficient to render useless q
canal with locks.
1t would not be surprising if this dis
cussion should go on until there was a
call for a report upon sea level canal.
Doubtless when the commission re-
turns from it's present trip to Panama
it will make a report that will have
much interest for the public.
