NEW COTTON FAST OPENING.
Mr.. VI. N. Methvin Brings First Open
Boil to News Office. The
Season Soon Open
Season Soon Open

Mr.. W. N. Methvin, superintendent
of DR.. A. NJ. Raines' plantation,
brought several open bolls of cotton
to The News Office Saturday. He left
a n lumber of them like these in the
fields. Cotton is beginning to open
all over the county and it will not be
very long now before the first bale
makes its appearance in Dawson.
The farmers are very much encour-
aged over the prevailing high prices,
and al if they continue, which there is
every reason to believe will be the
case, the farmers of Terrell county
will have many thousands OF surplus
dollars to put ia the banks. The cost
of making the crop, however, has
been high this year and if the prices
do not remain up, the situation will
spell hard times in many quarters.
The crop will not be as large without
doubt as it was last season.

LAMAR INSTEAD OF GRIGGs.
County Proposed to Be Called for
Congressman Has Name Changed.

Congressman Has Name Changed
The name of the proposed new coun-
ty of Griggs will be changed to Lamar
in honor of the late L, Q. G..
Lamar, The change in name was de-
cided upon by the committee in charge
of the matter after it was discovered
that members of the legislature seem
to prefer that the new counties be
named in honor of distinguished GeOr-
gians who are dead rather than in
honor of living prominent citizens.
The committees action met with the
hearty approval of Congressman
Griggs. The proposed change was
referred to him and he very cheerfully
consented to the same. Judge Griggs
has taken no part whatever in the
fight over new counties in his district
He has felt that these movements are
purely local matters, which it would
be improper for him to interfere with
one way or the other, and while he
has taken no action favOring the
county proposed to be called for him,
he has on the other hand not desired
to stand in the way of its creation.
When, therefore, it occurred to him
that his name name might interfere
with the success of the movement, he
very promptly suggested that another
name be found for it.

A SMITH CLUB ORGANIZED
PETITIONS ARE BEING CIRCULAR
ED PLEDGING HIM SUPPORT.
Barbecue Will BE Given i'm Dawson
and All Candidates for Governor
Invited to BE Present.

"We, the undersigned citizens of
Terrell county, Georgia, feeling a
deep interest in the welfare of our
state and heartily approving the can
didacy of Hon. Hoke Smith for gov
ernor of Georgia, hereby organize
ourselves into a club to be known as
the Terrell County Hoke Smith Club
for the purpose of assisting him in his
campaign for governor of Georgia"
With these words club in the in
terest of the candidacy of Hon. Hole
Smith was launched in Dawson
Wednesday.
A number of citizens gathered in the
directors room of the City National
Bank at 10 O'Clock Saturday morning
with the purpose of organizing the
Smith club, and the meeting was called
to order with Mr.. j. F. Cooke as chair
man and Col. L. G. HOyl secretary.
Committees were named to circulate the
petition, pledging Mr.. Smith support,
throughout the county. About one
hundred names were subscribed to the
paper Saturday, and many more have
been added since that time.
A committee has been named, with
Col L. G. Hoyl as chairman, to ex-
tend an invitation to not only Mr..
Smith, but all the other gubern atorial
candidates as we'll to attend big bar
becue and make speeches in Dawson
on Thursday, August 10. 1t is not
known definitely yet who of the candi-
dates, if not all, will accept this invi-
tatiOn.
Since the action of Mr.. Smiths sup
porters in organizing club in Terrell
county the friends of Mr.. Howell have
discussed such an organization,
though majority of them seem to be
opposed to the idea. Mr.. Howell has
strong following in the county,
as have some of the other candidates.

WORKING FOR NEW DEPOT.
.our NATTER HAS AGAIN BEEN
raKEN UP BY BUSINESS MEN.
r7.osident of Board of Trade Says The
Railroad Commission May
Be Appealed To.

With united effort the members OF
the Board of Trade are working for a
new depot for Dawson.
The movement for an adequate sta
lion has been under way for several
wears. but nothing has as yet been
done by the Central railroad. Some
months ago certain statements of the
officials of the road held out consider
able hope that the depot would be
Given the town before long, but fol-
lowing that statement, there has been
no action on this line, and the citizens
are becoming impatient over the mat
ter.
1t seems very probable that the
railroad commission will be appealed
TO unless the towns petition for new
station is given favorable cOnsidera-
ton by the railroad.
Chairman Davis of the Board of
Trade gave the following statement
with reference to the matter to The
News: eve have presented this ques-
ton earnestly yet fairly, to the Cen
trial railroad officials, but our efforts
of several years seem so far to have
been unprOductive of any result.
While it is true that certain state
ments of the railroad officials have
led us to hope that the road would
take favorable action at some time in
the future, we have heard nothing en-
couraging since, We do not propose
to let the matter remain where it is,
but shall again appeal to the road,
we hope with, some result. In the
event they refuse positively to. con-
slider our request for new building,
the matter will be laid before the
railroad commission. We trust
however, that this course will not be
necessary -

SKI RUNNING FASHIONABLE
This Sport Of Scandinavian Origin Is
Not Confined 70 Land Of Birth, But
is Enjoyed Elsewhere.

Ski running is of scandinavian
origin, but has OF late become
quite a fashionable sport in other
countries where natural facilities
for its enjoyment exist
The ski-pronounced shee--is,
however, not confined to sport in
the land Of its nativity. II forms
an essential factor in the lives of
the people of Northern Europe.
a necessary medium Of travel
where the country lies deep buried
in snow so that walking is impos-
sible. When a wolf is discovered
the hardy peasants lose no time
in arranging a ski hunt against
the enemy. Where the wolf leads
they follow, and the sense Of self
preservation is so strong that,
though members of the party drop
from fatigue and exhaustion, the
fittest hunters press on till the OBJ
iect of the hunt is attained.
On its native SHOWS the SIX
was used as a means OF getting
through the days work, and Of
fered little inducement toward
recreation and relaxation. But in
the billy countries of its adoption,
where Slopes can IL. descended d i
lightning speed and where one
finds the keenest delight in the
mere fact of travelling, skirunning
has taken the place of skating both
as national and a fashionable
pastime.
The art of jumping on skis was
first brought to prominent notice
by the peasants of Telemarken, to
whom running, leaping and glis-
sading down hillsides on this pic
luresque foOtgear came as natural
ly as walking in boots does to us.
BY and by the NOrwegians of the
towns, wont to lead an indolent,
enervating existence during the
winter months, were attracted to
the ski as a possible means of
healthy amusement. To such pur-
pose did they apply themselves in
the new sport that they soon out
did their teachers, the country
folk, in skill and daring.
Nor is indulgence in this invig-
orating pastime confined to the
male portion of the community.
Till recently it was not considered
correct" for ladies to ski, but
habit has broken down the barrier
of prejudice, and now skiing is the
national sport of the Scandinavia
an women.

Owner Might Swear Before Lit
tie Girl on Curbstone.

ago. He got on smoothly until he
got we'll to the outskirts of the
city, rather far from car line.
then the auto, actuated by the mo.
tives that only autos know, de-
cided that it had gone far enough.
1t stopped, and no pulling of lev
ers or turning of cranks was suffi-
Gent to induce it to go farther.
After fruitless efforts to get it
to change it's mind Mr.. Payne
climbed from his seat and worked
around the machine. Nothing
seemed to do any good, and he
was rapidly getting into state
that is relieved only by strong
Language. However, the strug-
giles with the auto had attracted
a good-sized company of chill
dren, and Mr.. Payne did nothing
worse than think. The children's
interest grew as the autOist tink-
cred. Among them was little
girl with long, golden hair, and
deep blue eyes. She crowded close
to Mr.. Payne as he worked.
Finally he became so exasper-
ated that it seemed as if he really
must say something. He turned
to the little girl.

"Why" she asked, looking VI
at him.
Perhaps he wished to tell the
truth; perhaps he only wished t.
see what the little girl would DO
At any rate he said to her quit
frankly: "Iwant to swear"
go right ahead" replied the
child; "don't mind me. My fathel
