The Handsomest Jewelry Store

We know that we were never in
position to handle your business in
our line in so satisfactory a manner
before, and as we have built up such
business on our past record it

FARMERS TO MEET SATURDAY
EXPERTS WILL TALK BOIL WEE.
VII, BLACKROOT, HOOKWORM.
State EntOmOlOgist Would Organize
Cotton Breeders Club in
Terrell County.

cIdCc EnUOlnOIOSlSb WOulO Organize
a Cotton Breeders Club in
Terrell County.
A large crowd will no doubt be
present at the meeting of farmers
and business men that will be held
at the court house next Saturday
morning by State Entomologist E. l..
Worsham to discuss matters of vital
interest to all, and especially the boil
weeVil and blackroot problems.
There is not anything that means
as much to the welfare of this sec
ton as the cotton crop. The Mexi-
can boil weevil, the worst enemy the
cotton crop has ever known, will
strike Southwest Georgia within
about two years, and it is necessary
to become thoroughly familiar with
the pest, it's life history, habits, dam
age and methods of control. The boil
weevil is coming to stay, but you can
grow cotton in spite of it's presence
if you know how.
Blackroot or wilt disease is a seri-
GUS pest in Southwest Georgia, and
you want to know how to combat
and eradicate it from your fields.
I'VE want to show you," says Mr.
Worsham, ''how we are developing
strains of cotton that will both resist
black root and mature sufficiently
early to avoid the boil weevil."
Others are expected to be present
and make addresses, among them DR..
A. G. Fort, who will talk on the
hookworm. Commissioner of Agri-
culture T. G. Hudson and r. F. Duck
worth, president of the Farmers I'm
ion, may also be present.
Before the meeting adjourns Mr.
Worsham proposes to organize Cot
ton Breeders Club for the county, for
the purpose of giving detailed in
struction for the breeding Of new
types of cotton for resistance to dis
eases like blackroot, anthracnose, etc.
The meeting at Dawson will begin
at $3.50 CLOCK in the morning, and
Mr.. Worsham and his party will go
from here to Cuthbert to hold meet
| ing in the afternoon.

A PLEA FOR YOUNG FOLKS
WHAT is BEING DONE IN DAW-
SON FOR THEIR UPLIFT?
Organization to Be Formed Sunday
For Their Physical, Moral and
Spiritual Welfare.


For Their Physical, Moral and
Spiritual Welfare.
Editor Dawson News: The christ
ian people of Dawson who are inter
ested in young people have felt for a
long time that we failed to meet
the needs of the boys and girls after
they reached their teens.
We have different organizations for
the younger boys and girls that keep
them busy and entertained, but the
needs of our older boys and girls are
different, and we have lost our hold
on them many times doubtless be-
cause we didn't lay ourselves out to
keep in touch with them. 1t will
mean a sacrifice on the part of some
who undertake the work, but if we
succeed in keeping one boy or girl
pure who might have gone in doubt
full paths will not the work be worth
while?
Our young people areas they
should be-bubbling over with en-
ergy and activities, and it is direct
ing these activities so that they may
grow stronger, better, happier boys
and girls which shall be our aim.
Shall we not have the help and CO.
operation Of every mother and faith
er in Dawson in this work? Our
plan will be to meet their social needs
by encouraging them in athletic
sports, such as providing chaperones
for them in their games, to the swim
ming pools, etc., and giving them So
! cial evenings at at regular times. We
expect the work tong largely educat-
i've also, teaching them things that
| help to keep their bodies we'll and
strong and pointing out the things
| that are enemies to their health and
happiness and that will hinder them
from making useful citizens; keep
ing before them always the fact that
God has a special plan and purpose
| for each one, and showing how this
purpose can be defeated if in youth
we undermine our health either by
neglect or abuse.
Then, we want to encourage them
in all benevolent and charitable
work. They love to do things fol
others, but often they don't see any
thing to do.
- ne ulI1uldC0 dIn Oh the WOTk, U
course, is the conservation and sal
walton of the boys and girls. Why i;
it necessary for the boys and girls t.
sow wild OTIS, and often while the!
are sowing get into things that will
drag them down all through life
| don't believe it is necessary. LIE
the people come together and hell
make life so attractive for the youni
people that they won't care for thu
things that will hurt them.
Why can't we have the movin!
picture shows that will elevate ant
educate and entertain them instead
of those that suggest unclean thing
to their minds?
This work is not to be denOmina
tional, but we want it to reach ever,
young person in town. We want al
the young people over fourteen year
of age to meet at the Methods
church annex next Sunday Afternoon
at 8 o'clock to organize this youn
peoples branch to be called tn

all it was worth, and perhaps put up
the best exhibition they have ever

played as hard a game the last min

A Night on the White Nile
AS night fell we entered the White Nile,
and steamed and drifted down the mighty
stream. Its current swirled in long curves
between endless ranks of pluned papyrus
White and blue and red, the floating water
lilies covered the lagoons and the still inlets
among the reeds; and here and there the
lotus lifted its leaves and flowers stiffly
above the surface.
: The brilliant tropic stars made lanes of
light on the tapping water as we-fan on
through the night The river horses roared
from the reedbeds, and snorted and plunged
beside the boat, and crocodiles slipped sui
lenly into the river as we glided BY
Toward morning mist arose and through
it the crescent of the dying moon shone red
and lurid. Then the sun famed aloft and
soon the African landscape, vast, lonely,
mysterious, stretched on every side in a
shimmering glare OF heat and light; and
ahead OF US the great, strange river went
twisting away into the distance.
At noon the following day we stopped at
the deserted station OF Wadelai, still in Brit
ish territory. There have been outposts of
white mastery on the Upper Nile for many
years, but some of them are now abandoned,
for as yet there has been no successful at
tempt at such development OF the region as
would alone mean permanency OF occupa-
ton. The natives whom we saw offered
sharp contrast to those of Uganda; we were
back among wild savages,. Both men and
women were practically naked; some of the
women entirely SO except for few beads.
Here we were joined by an elephant
hunter, Quentin Grogan, who was to- show
us the haunts of the. great square mouthed
rhinoceros, the so-called white rhinoceros,
of the Lado, the only kind OF African heavy
game which we had not yet obtained. We
were allowed to hunt in the Lado, owing to
the considerate courtesy of the Belgian gov
eminent, for which was sincerely grateful.

disembarked from the little flotilla which
had carried us-a crazy little steam launch,
two sailboats, and two big rowboats We
made our camp close to the rivers edge, on
the Lado side, in a thin grove of scattered
thorn trees. The grass grew rank and tall
all about us.
Our tents were pitched, and the grass
huts of the porters built, on kind of prom
ontory, the main stream running past one
side, while on the other was bay. The
nights were hot, and the days burning; the
mosquitoes came with darkness, sometimes
necessitating our putting on head nets and
gloves in the evenings and they would have
made sleep impossible if we had not had
mosquito biers. 1t was wild, lonely coun-
try, and we saw no human beings except an
occasional party of naked savages armed
with bows and poisoned arrows.
There was an abundance of animal life,
big and little, about our camp. There were
hippo both in the bay and in the river All
night long we could hear them splashing,
snortng and granting; they were very
noisy, sometimes uttering a strange, long

The Square Mouthed Rhinoceros.
In middle Africa, thanks to wise legisla-
top and to the very limited size of the
areas open to true settlement, there has
been no such reckless, wholesale slaughter
of big game as that which has brought the
once wonderful big game fauna OF South
Africa to the verge of extinction. In GER
tain small areas of middle Africa, of course,
it has gone; but as whole it has not much
diminished, some species. have actually in
creased, and none is in danger OF immediate
extinction, unless it be the white rhinoceros,
the great beast which was the object of our
coming to the Lado, the square mouthed,
or, as it is sometimes miscalled, the white,
rhinoccros. This great rhinoceros was for
merly plentiful in South Africa south of the
Zambesi, where it has been completely ex-
terminated except for score or so of indi-
viduals OH game reserve. North OF the
