Weevil arrived, but they hold their
own. They are made up with small
accounts now, where the big ones
once made the balance. Do not I'M
derstand me to say that our profits
are as large as they were before the
weevil arrived, because they are not.
Before the weevil got here We could
loan all the money we had on good
security at 10 per cent interest. Now
the demand for money is not good,
that is, on good paper, and the inter-
est rate is s per cent and it is often
the case that to get gilt-edge paper
we have to make the rate per cent.
Then, again, before the weevil got
here nearly all of our business was
done on checking accounts on which
we paid no interest; now everybody
has a saving account, on which we
have to pay per cent; therefore,
our profits, like other profits in this
section, have decreased. But with all
of this we feel encouraged on &C
count of the number of new accounts
we are receiving, and it is only a
question of a year or so until we will
have our profits up to where they
were when the weevil arrived, and
our deposits and volume of business
done will be larger.
| think | have answered all OF
your questions except what effect the
weevil had on the price of cotton.
1t has had none up to this time, and
l do not think it ever will have any.
If there is anything else you would
like to know about this pest just
write us; we will be glad to tell
you all we know. Yours very truly,

ESSIE CARTER FILES SUIT
FEDERAL COURT ASKED TO GIVE
HER 25,OOO.OO DAMAGES
Defendants Are Six Well known
Dawson Men Who Are Charged
With Whipping the Woman.

Essie Carter, the young woman
who was whipped in Dawson one
night in July last, on Saturday hled
in the Office of the United States
court for this district, at Columbus,
suit for $25, damages against
w. S. Dozier, j. c. Dozier, Clyde
Dozier, Pope McClung, Erwin Nc
Rae, Jim Geise and Duke Marshall,
all of this city. The suit was filed
by the woman's attorney, r. D. Fea-
gan, of Macon.
The petition states that the petit
toner is a resident of South Carroll
ma. and that on the goth day of July
of this year was visiting her friend,
Rosa Parker, in Dawson, and that
petitioner, Essie Carter, while visit
ing her friend on the night mention
ed. was bodily taken from her bed
and whipped into insensibility by the
above mentioned men. She alleges
that she was asleep when the defend
ants to the suit came to the house
with pistols and forced their way
into her room and took her out of
bed, carrying her to the front porch,
and there beat her with buggy whips.
She claims that she had on only
one garment, and that this was
pulled off and that while sying on
the floor the men applied the whips.
The petition goes on to state that the
whips cut into her flesh, and that
she lost a great deal of blood and
was sick in bed for four weeks fol-
lowing the whipping, and since that
time has never been the same. The
woman claims that her left leg was
partially paralyzed, and she has not
been able to walk but little since, and
not any except with great pain. The
petition alleges that a negro stood by
and watched the whole proceedings.
The petitioner also claims that she
had to be carried into her house, and
that during her illness following the
whipping had to pay doctor over
500 and also to pay out other large
amounts.
She thinks because of the great
physical pain and the mental anguish
she was forced to go through she
has a Just claim for her suit Of $2o'-
600. and so through her attorney files
this petition. Being a resident or
another state and fearing that she
would not get fair trial in Dawson
she files the suit in the federal court.
The case will come ~ lor trial at
the May term of the United States
court in Columbus.
Essie Carter was a resident OF
Dawson a year or more before the
sensational affair which has resulted
in the suit, and with which the pub
lie are familiar. Some weeks after
the whipping she left for South Car
DINA. which was necessary in order
to get the case in the United States
court. 1t is said her parents are
people of prominence in South Car
DINA, and she refused to divulge the
name of the city where they live.

EDWARDS, Miss, Aug. ~, 1917
NJ c. Edwards, Dawson, Ga.
a., Sir: AS Mr.. Rose, our presl-
D ,sot does not live in this town l
III attempt to answer your letter
VIZ ,noust 9th, addressed to him,
.. Elmo for certain information re-
aording the effect of the boil weeVli
bnsiness in general.
" IN the beginning | will say that
.,,, have every reason to feel alarm
~ as the weevil approaches you; not
s5a+ they will destroy your crop the
srst wear. nor will they do it great
saoI of damage the second year, but
,f+or that if you are not very careful
1toy will get it all. You can, OF
s,rrsa raise cotton under WeeVll
.ondi+ions. l will not attempt to ex-
oI.in the methods, as you can get
al rhe information along this line
from the U. S. department OF agrl-
nr,+ure | will not attempt to say
abar effect the weevil will have on
vour section, as l do not know your
conditions, but l will say what our
condirion was before the weevil ar
rived and then tell you what it Is
now.
When the Weevil Appeared.
The weevil reached here in the
fall of 1906 or 1907, l do not know
which. but at any rate at that time
nnr town. which is a small one in
Kinds county, was handling about
Il 600 bales of wagon cotton. We
we're buying about 65 cars of corn
in Union City, Tenn, meat by the
carload from Armour, Swift and the
other packing houses. We had three
large furnishing merchants who sup
plied all the negro labor that Would
applv to them. 1--WE have no small
white farmers in this section, or very
few. at any rate.) These same mer-
chants would supply the big planta-
tons of our white planters (did you
get that word, planters, not farm
ers), and would supply their own
plantations, which, by the way, were
large in numbers and in acreage; IN
fact. these three houses did a ire
mendous business and made large
profits. Besides these three furnish
ing houses we had about ten or M
teen cash houses, who also did big
business and made lots of money.
In fact, everybody was making mon
ey and nobody knew tho value or 1t.
Business in all lines was good, ana
We all felt fine.
In 1906 or 1907, 1 have said,
the weevil appeared. The damage
was very light that year, as they did
not appear until late in the fall. The
next year our crop was cut about
1000 bales, due partly to the Wee
vii. but more to the weather. the
crop continued to grow less from
year to year until our crop last year
was only 4,S00 bales, and l think
this year it will be about S,5OO.
This years crop, however, is not a
fair sample of what the weeVil Will
d. as it has rained every week eX-
2ept about two since last December.
Our crop three weeks ago was better
than last year, but the rain contlh-
ued and it is not so good now.
Now Raising Necessities of Life.
do not want you to understand
that we have the same acreage IN
cotton as we had when we raised the
$4,000 bale crop, as we have not. we
do not buy our corn in Union CITY
any more; in fact, we shipped about
eight cars from here to Texas last
fall We raise as much meat here
as We possibly can with negro labor.
