COTTON BEARS HAVE CONTROL OF MARKET
Thew Are Depressing the Price of the Staple Not
withstanding the Fact That All the Reports
Indicate Short Crop

York he issued the following state
ment, a copy of which he sent to THE
DAWSON NEWS:
Higher prices for cotton will
enable the farmer and those who are
dependent on him to buy more OF your
product, and to pay more for your
product whether the product be of your
brain, your labor, your mind, your
press, your workshop, your railroad,
your farm or your capital.
Your interests, therefore, will be
enhanced in proportion to the price
the farmer receives for his cotton
over and above the price of produc-
ton.
"By subscribing to the cotton fund,
which is now an assured success, you
will help to maintain the price of cot
ton, thereby enabling the cotton far
mer to enrich himself, and he in turn
will enrich you.
ANY subscription can be deposited
in any bank or trust company in the
United States, the subscriber author
izing the bank to telegraph said sub
scriptiOn to my order"
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1905-10-18

The government report knocked the
spots out of the price of cotton. 1t
has been going down steadily ever
since the report was made public. 1t
is freely asserted by the farmers and
the cotton bulls that the production
this wear is so small that there is no
warrant for the continued reduction in
price, but the bears seem to be in con-
troll and are forcing the price down.
Since the opening of the season cot
ton has declined one and a half cents
in price, or loss per bale from the
highest price Of the season of $3.50.
How much lower the price will go IS,
of course, the merest conjecture.
Dan J. Sully, the cotton bull, is one
who believes that the farmers should
be paid the highest possible price for
his cotton. He is now in the south
studying the conditions. He does not
believe the farmer is being paid
enough for his cotton, believing that
the crop is a short one. IN order to
see for himself he is now making a
tour of the south. Before leaving New

GOLF HAY FEVER REMEDS e.
George Colby of Irving Park, n Chi
caEO suburb. Thinks 1t Sure Cure.

Golf hereafter may be known as the
game Of sure cure for hay fever"
George e. Colby of Irving Park, a Chi
cagO suburb, has discovered that the
Scottish pastime affords not only rec
neation for the player, but also relief
from the effects of hay fever, says the
Chicago Tribune No one, he. asserts,
need suffer longer from the malady, for
the playing OF the game of golf, he de-
clareS. will cure it.
Il believe golf will cure any case Of
hay fever in the country" asserted Mr..
Colby the other night. ITO show how
convinced | am in my belief l offer to
take any fever victim, give him rcgu-
lar exercise ut golf and cure him of the
disease without fail.
Il suffered from the worst kind Of
hay fever for twenty-five years. and l
cured myself by playing golf. The new
organization founded for the purpose
of fighting the disease may be inter
estcd in knowing just how l did it..
Well, | didn't know | was accomplish
ing a cure until it was all over. Two
years ago after suffering every year
from the middle of August to the time
of lie first frOsts because of hay fever,
| took up golf playing because all the
other Irving Park people were doing
the same thing Previous to that time
Michigan every summer to get away
from hay fever This time, however,
as the season progressed, | was sur
prised to find that the malady was dis
appearing and | didn't have to 90
away. thought the change strange,
for l had tried every possible remedy
before that time without effect.
Last year | played golf with in
creased pleasure -Four times a week
l went to the Irving links and got into
the game for all it was worth. l per
spired and breathed in the fresh air
with vim that couldn't help make me
feel better For over an hour each
time | drove and putted balls enthu-
siastically l had no hay fever during
the whole summer. l played the game
again this year and have suffered not
the slightest touch Of the malady. l
wondered what made the change and
decided it was the golf.
my advice to hay fever victims is:
Play golf with enthusiasm, perspire
freely and rid yourself of the disease
Breathe the fresh air of the links. Take
the exercise with the right spirit four
times q week and you never will be
troubled

Magnificent Adirondack Deer.


1t was my good fortune TO be in
Worthwhile, y. Y, few days ago on
my way out from the woods, when
probably the finest specimen Of deer
ever secured in the Adirondacks was
shipped from that town to Gloversville,
n. Y, says writer in Forest and
Stream. The buck, a magnificent ami
NAL in perfect condition, weighed
dressed the day after being killed 300
pounds His weight as he rOamed the
woods must have been fully 400
pounds, if not beyond that figure. In
twenty years experience deer hunting
| have never witnessed his equal, and
he was marvel to the residents of
Worthwhile. who see hundreds of large
deer pass through that town each year.
He was killed in Benson. within ten
miles of Worthwhile, likely with a black
powder rife, as the carcass contained
seven wounds, any one of which if de-
livered by Il high power ball would
have proved effective in stopping him.
He was sold by the person securing
him for $33 and changed hands again
at Gloyersyille. his ultimate destina-
ton, TO be political barbecue.
