cElvES LETTER TELLING OF
{ THEFT OF NUMBER OF BLANK

DIANA POSTOFFIcE.

Postofflce Inspector G. B. Speer, Of
Lima, Ohio. has written Postmaster
Robinson Of the local office asking him
to advise the merchants Of this city
against cashing any Of a certain lot OF
postoffice money orders. The money
orders referred to were stolen from
the postoffice at Edwards, Ind, on the
21st Of last month and are numbered
from 1858 to $4,000, both inclusive.
Inspector Speer states IN his letter
that 1t is probable that the thief who
stole these orders was formerly en-
ployed in some money order ONCE. He
judges this from the manner In which
the theft was accomplished. He en-
tered the money order department of
the postomce at Edwards, claiming to
be an inspector Of supplies, with what
were supposed to be some official
documents from the department at
Washington, which admitted him to
the Office. After examining the money
order blanks on hand, he took thirty
three Of them together with a stamp.
telling the clerk in charge Of the de-
partment that he would send new
forms, recently issued, in place of
those he took. He is described as
five feet, eleven inches in height and
weighing about It's pounds. He has
black hair.
Mr.. Robinson asks that the mer-
chants carefully examine all money
orders presented to them, and if any
Of the numbers included in the above

of the holder of the card.
Three per cent interest per annum
will be allowed on all money deposit
ed in the bank. When the sum of
$500 has been deposited the depos-
itor has the privilege of converting it
into government bonds, which are
exempt from taxation of all kinds.
No deposit books will be needed, as
is the case in ordinary banks. In
stead of pass books each depositor
will be given a certificate similar to
a money order. A duplicate will be
kept by the postal bank as it's record,
and consequently if the original GER
tificate of deposit is lost the money
can be withdrawn by Identification
Of the depositor.
The money deposited in the postal
banks will not be carried away from
Dawson, as is the belief among some.
The government will designate GER
tain banks, which will qualify to re-
ceive government funds, and there
the money will be deposited to the
credit of local representatives of the
federal postoff1ce.
There are several novel features in
connection with the governments
experiment in the banking business.
For instance, money deposited by
married women is beyond the control
of their husbands. Money deposited
by any man, woman or child is be-
yond process of law. The postoffice
authorities are also prohibited from
divulging the names of depositors.

TEXAS WANTS TO KNOW HOW
Farmer of Great Corn State Writes
to Terrell County Farmer For
His Method of Growing 1t.

Texas, one of the great corn states
of the nation, wants to learn the
Terrell county method of growing
the big yields of that product which
have made this county famous.
Mr.. G. M. Gormley, the fame of
whose ten-acre field of corn four
miles from Dawson seems to have
spread throughout the country since
mention Of it was made in The News
some time ago, has received letter
from a farmer in Southern Texas
asking him for his method of fertil-
ization, planting and cultivation, and
if the corn was growing in a river
bottom.
This is perhaps the finest field of
corn in Georgia, as none Of the great
many people who have gone to see
it estimate that it will make less
than 200 bushels to the acre, while
some say it will make 25O bushels.

PEERLESS TOWN IS DAWSON

Effort to Have Governor Veto Local
Bill Was Fruitless. Was Never
Chance to Save Berries.

Chance to Save Berries.
The clinking of glasses and the
foaming suds commonly known as
oigh beer are now only memory in
Dawson.
The doors of the half dozen beer
sa,oons in the city have been closed
since Saturday night at 10 o'clock,
and all is silent within, wherefore
there is much dissatisfaction among
very large part of the population
of Dawson and Terrell county who
found the trickling of the amber
rouid down their throats pleasant
and invigorating.
The sudden drouth was brought
about by the local bill Representative
B. F. Melton passed through the leg
islature and signed by the governor
prohibiting the sale of near beer in
Terrell county.
The beer people made their last
stand against the legislation to out
law them last Wednesday, when an
unsuccessful effort was made to have
Governor Smith veto the bill. Colo
mel Dick Marlin went to Atlanta as
their representative, and appeared
before the governor in their behalf.
When Representative Melton re-
turned home Friday morning he re-
ported that Governor Smith had told
him he would approve the bill before
Saturday night. At no time, said Mr..
Melton, was there the slightest prob
ability of the measure being vetoed,
as Governor Smith told him that the
only thing that would cause him to
entertain for a moment the exercise
of the veto would be a request from
the representative supplemented with
a petition by those citizens who had
favored and were responsible for the
law
At no time since the introduction
of the bill has there been any good
reason to doubt what the final result
would be-
A proposition that the bill be
amended by Incorporating a section
providing that it should not go into
effect until ratified by a majority of
\ the legal voters of the county was
\ rejected, and the measure pushed to
its final passage as originally intro
duced and making the sale of beer
unlawful Immediately upon it's pas
sage by the legislature and approval
by the governor.

THE PRICE OF COTTON SEED.
Scarcely More Than Half What 1t
Was Paid Last Season.

Cotton seed have been selling at
rs cents a bushel, or SIS a ton,
which is not much more than half
what was paid for them a year ago.
A buyer for one of the outside mills
jumped the price up to SIS a ton, and
has paid that for some seed.
1t is said that cotton seed oil is
bringing about half what it did last
year, and this is given as a reason
for the low price of seed.
Whether the farmers will let their
cotton seed go at present prices re-

many of them will refuse to sell. un-
less the price advances.
