1908 NEW COTTON BALES
1t Is Coming in From the Sur
rounding Farms in a Rush.
DAWSON LEADS THE WORLD.

In receipts TO Date. Is Being Sold
Almost as Fast as 1t comes in.
Market Was Little Stronger,
and 912 Cents Was the Ruling
Price Tuesday.
Up to Tuesday at , o'clock the
warehouses of Dawson had received
by wagon 1908 bales of new cotton.
the largest number, perhaps, that has
been received by any town in the
entire cotton belt of the country.
No other town in Georgia has re-
ceived anything like this number,
and it is doubtful if any has received
more than half as many.
Late Monday the market took an
upward turn, and Tuesday cotton was
selling readily at nine and a half
cents for good middling, an advance
OF a quarter Of a cent. The farmers
are selling their cotton almost as
last as they bring it in.
Intensely hot weather following
the continued drought prevailing
throughout this section is playing
havoc with the crop, and cotton men
and farmers alike look for a greatly
decreased yield from former esti-
mates. There is little vitality left
IN the plant, and in many localities
not another boil will be taken on.
The fields seem dead under the Bills
tering rays of an August sun, and
cotton is opening rapidly.

DAWsON's HOTTEST DAY.
The Mercury Nearly Bumped the Top
of the Tube SATURDAY..

While Friday was a scorcher in
the way of hot weather, it remained
for Saturday to break the record of
the summer. 1t was sizzling, roast
ing and oppressive, the thermometer
registering a temperature of SO in
the shade.
The temperature in the sun no
one attempted to find out. No effort
was needed, for any person or beast
out of doors was made to realize
that what Sam Jones said of almost
every town in which he ever Iectured
was geographically correct in the
case of Dawson.

$4,000 SWEPT AWAY
Variety Works Plant and a Mil
lion Feet of Lumber Burned.
A HOT BOX FIRED SHAVINGS

And in a Short While the Flames
Had Reduced the Entire Building
TO Ashes. There Was no Insur-
ance on the Property, and the Com
pany's loss Is Complete.
One of the most disastrous fires
in the history of Dawson occurred
Thursday night, when the plant Of
The Variety Works Company was
burned to the ground.
The fire was discovered at about
o'clock, and almost simultaneously
with the sounding of the alarm the
flames burst through the roof high
into the air, appearing to envelop
the whole of the main building. The
structure was an old one, and it and
the large quantity of building ma
teriaIs therein furnished choice
morsel for the hungry flames.
1t was fortunate that there was
no wind during the greer part of
the fires progress, and when a breeze
did finally spring up it came straight
from the south, and famed the
blaze which had attacked several
large lumber piles in a direction
where it could do the least harm.
This condition and the hard work
of the firemen and citizens were re-
sponsible for the combining of the
fire to the main building and some

saving of much building material,
the Office building, lumber she'd
glazing room and probably other
large plants and several residences
nearby.
The Loss Is $4,000.
The News learns from the owners
Of the plant that $40, 900 will cover
the loss. About 100000 feet of
lumber worth $4,000 was burned,
and it is estimated that $4,000 will
replace the machinery and building.
The Variety Works Company is
composed of Messrs. A. j. Baldwin,
j. R. Mercer and Mrs. G. A Geise
Mr.. Baldwin holding 81 shares, Mr..
Mercer 3 8 and a fraction and Mrs.
Geise 16 and a fraction. Their loss
is total, as no insurance was car
ned, the rate of $11.50 per 500
being prohibitive.
The plant will be rebuilt, but
whether by the present stockholders
alone has not been decided on.
The debris is already being cleared
away for some temporary structures.
The fire originated in the planning
room, and is thought to have been
caused by shavings being ignited by

such summer pleasures. The after

changing the innocent gossip of the
day. In the evening came music, quo
tatiOns from favorite authors, and
heart to heart talks among the young
people in the soft and lovely moon
light. Altogether it was an occasion
