stitute today adopted resolutions condemn
ing the present campaign and boycott on
meat products and declared that farmers
in communities and as individuals rave the
right to resist with the same weapons
with which they are attacked. To this
end the resolutions declare, w believe
that the farmers and stock growers would
be justified in Withholding any or all of
their products from the markets till such
time as the growing appetite will insure
them a fair return for their labor. Further,
we most enphatically condemn as unwar-
ranted and unjust the avidlty with WI CHI

ELLIS DENIES FRICTION
Consumed from First Page.)


Of his visit here and the scope Of thv pres.
ent investigation Mr.. Ellis said.
II have spent the day in conference with
the United States district attorney and his
assistants. and in a call upon Judge Ian
dis, whom 1 have known pleasantly for
many years. There is no friction whatever
In the beef inquiry.
THE Department of Justice has been at
wor kfor five or six months investigating
the developments of the fresh meat ndus-
try since the last action by the govern
ment, and especially the relation of the
situation to the prices of foods and prod
ucts, with q view of ascertaining whether
a cause for action now exists. The in
vestigation will be conducted under the
antitrust statute and may be either civil
or criminal.
THE proceedings now in progress before
the federal grand jury Of this district are
in line with this Investigation. Ordinarily
cases presented to the jury for trial in the
courts are wholly. within the routine duties
of the United States attorney. Where,
however, the subject of inquiry affects the
country at large, and. especially where II
involves the complaint of a violation of
the antitrust statute having a more than
local effect, the attorney general exercises
q special supervision. He is particularly
charged by the law with the enforcement
of this act and my duties in this behalf
are also fixed by statute under his direc.
ton.
There will be no change in the present
instance. Mr.. Sims, in whom the attorney
general has entire confidence, will present
his testimony to the grand jury. After this
testimony is in l nave no doubt the grand
jury will do it's full duty, both to the gov
eminent and those against whom such
testimony may be adduced.
During the progress Of the INJURY 1
expect to keep in touch with 1t; to come to
Chicago whenever 1t may seem necessary
and participate. either now or later, In any
way that shall seem advisable"

Sen. IRWIN BUSY WITH BILLS
ONE OF THEM is TO REDUCE
LEGAL RATE OF INTEREST.
Would Also Amend Law So as to
Have a Registrar in Each
Militia District.

Senator Irwin appears to have been
quite busy since the legislature met,
and if he gets his measures through
there will be quite number of new
laws of which he is the author on the
statute books.
One of the measures he proposes to
enact into law is of much interest
to the general public. 1t seeks to re-
duce the legal rate of interest from
8 to Z per cent. per annum. Some
opposition has developed to the meas
ure, but Mr.. Irwin says the general
public seems to approve the bill. Re-
duced interest rates, he says, would
not seriously interfere with the in
PRODUCTION of foreign capital, but
would encourage business enterprises
and ventures, and be especially bene-
fetal to small borrowers.
Another bill CT general importance
introduced by Mr.. Irwin is one to
fix uniform salary for county school
commissioners. 1t provides that they
shall be paid by commission on the
money passing through their hands
and requires their entire time and
attention to the Office
Another bill, which is of interest
to confederate soldiers, provides that
any confederate soldier who has re-
sided in Georgia two years before his
application is filed can be admitted
to the soldiers home in Atlanta.
The law now is that no one can
be admitted unless he has resided in
the state since 1895.
Mr.. Irwin has also introduced a
bill seeking to amend section 1856,
and require the judge of the superior
court to appoint registrar from each
militia district in the county. Under
the present law the board of regis
trars is composed of three members.
Another bill by Senator Irwin
would fix the time when judgments,
attachments and other liens shall be-
come effective in counties other than
the county of defendants residence,
as affecting the interest of third par
ties.
Senator Irwin states that the bill
he introduced at the last session to
prohibit the use of artificial filters
in fertilizers has been reported ia
vorably by the committee on agricul-
ture, and was called up for consider
alton last Friday Upon the sugges-
ton OF some senator the bill was car
ried over till this week, at which time
1t is expected to come up for a vote.
He thinks that it will go through
without serious opposition.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1910-07-06

Quoted on these lines do other than
succeed, which you and everyone who
knows of Adams Jewelry Store must
admit?
Why has Adams Jewelry Store
been the first to run a successful and
up-to-date jewelry business in Daw-
son?
There is nothing like a personal
interest backed up by knowledge and
experience to secure the highest
standard.
Honesty in business is just sim
ply business proposition; so there
is no moral credit in it,"
We deserve no moral credit for
selling you honest goods and honest
repairing at honest prices-it has
built Adams Jewelry Store to what
it is, and it will build it larger.

TIRE OF j. PLUvIUs' ATTENTION
Farmers of This Section Anxious For
the Clouds to Roll Away.

the Clouds to Roll Away.
There is no complaint of lack of
rain in this section just now.
Enough of it has fallen to make
up for all of the dry weather of the
last two years.
For four weeks it has rained in
cessantly, with only occasional inter
walls of two or three days, and the
cotton crop is in a deplorable condi-
ton.
There is not a farm anywhere that
is clear of grass, while there are
many that are literally covered with
carpet of green in which a plow
or other implement has not been
stuck in two weeks.
Some patches have already been
abandoned, and unless there is a
rapid Improvement in weather con-
ditions whole fields will be lost.
The crop outlook is worse and the
farmers are bluer than in years be-
fore. Besides the grass lice have
greatly injured and retarded the
growth of the weed, the stand is gen
orally bad, and blackroot has ap-
peared in disastrous form in many
fields.
1t seems impossible now to make
even fair cotton crop, and unless
there is an early change for the bet
ter the farmers will be actual losers.

providing for the rotation of judges
OF the superior court among all the

IN going from their homes to and

IL Is urged in favor of the measure
tnat 1t will eliminate the petty poll
Ties which is felt to play a part in
the administration of justice in some
