A BIG CONSPIRACY EXPOSED
Cotton and Cotton Oil News Says
There's Combination TO Throttle
Movement For Better Prices.

Movement For Better Prices.
DALLAS, Tex, Sept u, 1910
Editor of the Dawson News.-Dear
Sir: We are handing you herewith
the current issue of this paper set
ting out the exposure of the most
gigantic conspiracy of the age by thu
short interests in cotton to throttle
every movement for better prices for
same, either in a combined effort to
shake the planter out of his cotton
by frightening him, or by federal in
reference. The shorts have sold
themselves in a hole, and openly ad-
NIT their only show of relief is for
the cotton planter to flood the mar
ket with spot cotton The whole
consuming trade admits a crop I'M
der 100000 bales, and that such a
crop is worth l 5 cents. We know
that the crop is short, and we want
to ask your kind editorial advice
to your readers to market the crop
sparingly, at least until after No
vember 1st, when the market will
take care of itself, though we be-
lieve in selling only ten per cent. g
month at any price. Your co-opera-
ton will be appreciated, and we feel
that you have the common welfare
of the country sufficiently at heart
to appreciate the saving to our peo-
pie of S. to SIS per bale that the
bears are begging them to contrib
ute to them.
Thanking you in advance for your
most cordial cooperation, we are
yours,

w. c. 7. u. NOTES.
Contributed by the Dawson Chapter.

Mr. William H. Anderson, acting
legislative superintendent A. S. l..
of America. speaking before the con-
Yention in Chicago in December, said
the work of the w. c. 7. L. and
its contribution to the temperance
phase of advancing civilization is
Just beginning to be understood, To
it's modest, patient, persistent pur-
suit of educative methods he pays a
high tribute and says: 1T gives me
great pleasure to do tn S in view of
the fact that l regard myself as, in
part at least, product of the system
of scientific instruction in the pub
lie schools of the country concerning
the effects of alcohol on the human
system. There is no means of esti-
mating how far this was the primary
influence in determining my life
work, but the fact remains that my
attention was first turned to the
temperance question while a boy in
school by means of prizes offered by
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of my home town in Illinois
for the best examination and essay
on the subject
Many hundreds of Georgia chill
dren entered these prize essay con-
tests last year, and for the first time
a state w. G. 7. L. prize was offered
as we'll as the local prizes, thus con-
Meeting the contest with the national,
as only winners of state prizes can
become competitors there. The work
will be continued this year in GeOT-
gia on a larger scale than ever, and
iC hnnnH in hl
state will hold a contest
There is a national w c. T. L. !
prize for colleges and universities
also, and many of the talented young
men of the country are competing
for it.
Labor Unions Against Saloons.
Emphatic denunciation Of the sa-
loon by leading speakers was a feat
ure of the Toronto convention of the
American Federation of Labor. Sam
uel Gompers said: The time has
come when the saloon and the labor /
movement must be divorced
John Mitchell declared that or
ganized labor, in its fight for better
conditions for the wage Garner, was
doing more to promote temperance
than any other factors, and he de-
MED that shorter hours of labor and
increased wages resulted in added
profits to the saloon.
Thomas L. Lewis said the United
Mine Workers had prohibited their |
members from selling intoxicants, /
even at picnics. Education of the
masses, he urged, would go a long
way toward graduating the liquor
traffic.
Drinking in Society.
Without entering at all into the
question of moderate drinking or to-
tai abstinence we do not hesitate to
say that the social use of intoxicants
in the state of Georgia today is un-
patriotic and sin against good citi-
zenship. The man or woman who
serves it to guests in the home,
keeps it in the social clubs and uses
it freely in a public or semi-public
way is standing directly against the
greatest reform of the age-a reform
that has already brought and will
continue to bring peace, happiness
and prosperity to thousands of homes
in the state; efficiency of the indus
trial workers; increased wealth and
progress along all lines and untold

MILLIONS TO FIGHT SHARKS.


Plan 10 to Charge Only Legal Rates
on Furniture Security.
New York, April 4.-Mrs. Russell
Sage has inaugurated a statewide plan
to thwart the loan sharks who fatten
upon the necessities Of the poor. She
has returned from her trip across the
continent to put into immediate effect
measures TO save the unfortunate from
the exactions of the usurer.
The Sage millions will capitalize a
chain of model loan establishments
which will advance money 10 the poor
on their household goods at the legal
rate Of interest.
The plan has been prepared by the
Sage Foundation, in cooperation with
Orion II. Cheney, state superintendent
of banks, and awaits only Mrs. Sage's
final approval.
Mr.. Cheney, who has been waging a
bitter war upon the loan sharks, said
today:
"When the Sage Foundation enters
this field not only will IL accomplish a
most worthy mission. but at the same
time IL can be made financially profit
able. The concerns which take unfair
advantage of the unfortunates who are
financially embarrassed will be either
driven out of the business or forced TO
conduct their business on the same fair
basis as the Sage Foundation"
Mr.. Cheney said he believed the poor
who have to resort TO the securing Of
loans on their furniture should be cared
for in preference to the class that Sc
cures advances on salary.
