Exchanges are
Given Defense

The cotton exchanges as gatherers of
| true information that is disseminated
! by thousands Of brokers to every one
| interested. Solomon Napoleon Cone of
| Greensboro, n. c., attacked the pro
posed anticipation bill in the hearing
before the house committee on agri-
culture today.
Mr.. Cone described himself as a spot
| cotton dealer, q stakeholder in various
mills, a member "of all the cotton ex-
/ changes of the world" and the handler
of more than $4O0O0O0 worth of spo-
! cotton annually
Mr.. Cone said that his practice as
! a large dealer is to sell more heavily
! buy more heavily when the market is
going down; that that unusual prac-
tice was based on pure speculation, not
or luck or chance
Il do not defend gambling" he ex-
i planned Il am an old bachelor; some
of you others are married. but l have
never even taken that chance. | think
! this whole matter before the commit
| tee is matter of ethics and one for
. the preachers to deal with.
Who Paid For Profit?
1T was common report recently, sug
Il n
! ten Of Chicago came down to New
York and picked up $5,000,000 out of
! the cotton market If that is true,
! who paid for that profit
| Much of that money was lost in
! both a legitimate and an illegitimate
way. as commerce runs answered Mr..
Cone evasively.
why is it that such a boon to the
! cotton trade as a future market in
/ quired Mr. Scott, has not been evolv-
/ ed in the iron business, newspaper
property business, hay and other lines,
/ Of industry?'
/ Mr.. Cone did not furnish much in
formation on this point. but said that
| lie believed he would make more
/ n 2ney if the exchanges We're abolished,
! although he did not favor any such
4! step He characterized the millnen
! as the worst lot OF pessimists l ever
saw"
Mr.. Cone said that the commission
! generally paid on cotton transactions
| is SIS per 100 bales. though. because
/ of his large business he got one half
! the brokers commission.
Much Business in Cotton

could reply, Mr.. Neville explained with

THE SELECTION OF A COFFIN
You Can't Select Coffin Intelligent
ly Without Knowing How
1t Is Made,

Every possible doubt about the Sc
lection of a casket can be removed
by examining the material used in
the new Lead-Coated-S Steel coffins.
Nothing is really important about a
casket except the frame work The
trimmings are only a matter of taste,
and have nothing to do with the
problem of protecting the body. 1t
is just as easy to put beautiful cloth
and silks massive carvings and 9TH
er ornamentation on a flimsy wood
coffin as it is on the most durable
metal caskets. One should not be
deceived by these surface appear
ances. Baldwin & Co. say that they
always call the attention of their pat
rons to the material composing the
casket, and especially the caskets
made from Lead-Coated-Steel

CARE OF CHILDREN'S TEETH

that of forty thousand school chill
dren examined those with bad or de-
cayed teeth were backward in their
studies, and were two or three grades
behind in the grades they should oc-
cupy.
AS decay spreads from the rOtting
apple to the sound ones so does it
spread from the first decayed tooth
in the temporary set. And from the
decay in the temporary set to the
first tooth of the permanent set
which is usually the siX-year molars,
and in an incredible short time, be-
fore the parents of the child are
aware, the permanent set is aching
and the child's health is Slapped.
Poor teeth cause the child to bolt
it's food, and soon the habit is
formed Of swallowing the food un-
chewed. Then follows a train of dis
Indigestion, bowel trouble,
weakness, debility. The boy or girl
becomes an undeveloped man or wo-
man, an easy prey to tuberculosis
and all diseases that prey upon peo-
pie of low vitality.
Now a very large part of the suf-
fering of mankind-the half-starved.
undeveloped body, the weak brain
grows out of the neglect of the teeth.
And it seems strange indeed that
the world should have been so tardy
in realizing the Importance and the
necessity of intelligent care while the
patient is yet in youth.
1t is singular that. science has ex-

vent disease of the body, and so lit

dentistry.
I shall therefore, Mr.. Editor, offer
my services to the trustees of the

ing and examining the teeth of the
school children l may be of some
service in promoting the important
science of preventive dentistry. Re-

The way to buy paint is to go by
the name. There is a name never

There are a hundred different
names in paint Some are sham;
some weak; some short-measure;
and some all three
If there is another such paint as
Devoe lead-and-zinc we don't know

A Dawson Dentist Shows the Danger
of Neglect. Will Lecture in the
Schools ON the Subject.

Schools on the Subject.
Editor of The Dawson News: For
many years l have been impressed
with the idea that dentists and dent
istry have not become as effective as
the profession should be. | am thor
Oughly convinced that the dentist
should not only be able to make a
bridge, and plug and crown decayed
teeth, but that the profession will
have reached its highest and most
noble plane of usefulness when it
shall have inaugurated a thorough
system of preventive dentistry.
There is no necessity nor is there
any excuse for an ugly, bad smelling
mouth of decayed, aching teeth. This
condition is a crime upon the heads
of parents and school officials.
With a little attention given in
youth to the mouth and teeth suffer
ing i'll health and hideous deformities
could be easily avoided.
The schools of the United States
have recently added physicians to
their corps of instructors and lectur
ers, and in many schools dentists
have been gwen a place in the
schools as a well recognized factor
in the preservation of the child.
And it has been demonstrated and
shown by actual experience that SO
in every one hundred children have
defective or diseased teeth. Think
of it! Only about four in one hun
dred who are hot suffering from dis
,eased gums or teeth. And the worst
of it is that the aches and pains
which follow are the smallest part of
the damage resulting therefrom.
Statistics show that on account Of
poor teeth the mental and physical
development of the child is seriously
retarded. DR.. Luther Gulick of New
York is responsible for the statement

Question of Conscience.

A glance at the names of some of
the men who are highest on either
side shows that they are high in the
business life of the state, as we'll as
in its political and other activities.
1t is because of this division of senti-
ment that the fight is to be hard.
1t is not a fight of class against class,
of faction against faction-it is a
contest which will be settled at the
polls by each individual citizen, re-
CARELESS of political or factional af-
filiation.
In 1886, when Florida's present
constitution was formed, Article
XIX, providing for local option, was
adopted by the convention after
hard fight. Hamilton county was the
first to take advantage of the new
constitutional provision, and was
voted dry and has remained so since.
One by one the other counties of
the state have followed suit until
now there are but a very few left
in which the sale of liquor is sane
toned. And in many of these there
are many precincts which are dry.
This comes as a result of the fact
that when wet and dry election is
called in a county and the county
goes wet each precinct which cast
a majority vote for the dry side of
the question is dry and saloons can
not be granted licenses to operate in
such precincts

ty became dry until today with sa-
looms allowed in less than thirty
cities and towns-including the
smallest-the question of state
wide" is before the citizens of the
entire commonwealth to decide ire
spective of county. The local OPP
tionists claim that the state should
go on as it is with the counties ruling
themselves The amenders contend
that Florida is ripe for the clean
sweep, and that local option has only
grown to mean the right of one or
two counties in the state in which
the saloons are the strongest to send

side claims that the principles of old
democracy stand behind it's respect

side are to be found men who stood
solidly together in the old constitu-

1t is thus easily to be seen that con-
science enters largely into the stand
taken by many of the voters.

Thus far the bitterness has been
confined to newspaper controversy
here and there. But now the citi-
zens of the state will be showed un-

from both sides. Men of might and
eloquence will come from other
states, and men of note in Florida
will take the hastings on one side or
the other. Every nook and corner
of the state will be ransacked for
votes. All hope for a dignified cam

the incorporation of the place. A pub
lie water service was imperative under
the then existing conditions, and the
small yet convenient and useful system
in use over a small portion of the town
was the result. 1t is understood that
the only reason that the system was
not extended to cover more territory
was because privilege could not be
obtained to go on adjacent lands. The
company has not been shrieking sue
cess from financial view point, as this
is the first dividend declared since or
ganization, and there has been times
when the stock was very much depre-

vile, while the troupe he represented
did their devotions at Princeton. He
tried to secure hall to give enter
tainments in .Oroville Monday and
Tuesday evenings, but was unable to
do so. The company is large one,
carrying an enormous amount of bag
gage for a company showing in the
smaller towns of this part of the coun-
try. The trunks and scenery filled the
baggage room at the depot, and there
was two or three cords of overflow on
the platform. 1t was evident from
the number of performers and the stack
of props carried that the troupe was
one of more than ordinary merit. This
leads up to consideration of the fact
that Oroville is very deficient in suit

be given. A neat, modern theatre,
with seating capacity of 700 or 800,
would draw better class of perform
