TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND GOOD OLD
APPLE PIES COOKED AT ONE TIME

Figuring one apple to each pie,
each pie being four inches in diane
ter, 5000 apples, or nearly 40 car
loads, were baked and distributed
free of charge. 1t proved to be the
most spectacular feature ever given
by the apple show.
In its serious phase the national
apple show launched a movement
designed to unite the states of Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana
into one big unit for the cooperative
distribution of Pacific Northwest ap-
pies and other fruits.
Apple growers have no fear of over
production, but they are agreed that
an effective marketing system that
will eliminate some of the interme-
date hands through which their pro-
duct now passes and that will reduce
the price to the consumer is essential
to the prosperity of thousands of
orchards.

COTTON SEED ARE GOING UP
short Receipts Have Boosted Price
of the Valuable Product in the
Local Market.

Dawson cotton seed buyers are pay
ing $26 a ton for this valuable prod
uct, the highest price that has been
reached this season, and the farmers
are now realizing a good profit for
their seed.
Within the course of very few
years this crop that used to be used
principally for fertilizer has grown
to be one of great commercial value.
There is a distinct shortage of re-
ceipts in markets of this section for
cotton seed, and with this shortage
of supply, with the further fact that
hundreds of bushels were lost by
heat in the early part of the fall, to-
gether with the ever-increasing de-
mand for seed, have combined to
boost values.
At the present price of dollar
and a half a hundred the seed from
an average bale of cotton will bring
about fifteen dollars, and this added
to sixty dollars for the fieecy staple
represents a neat and profit-making
sum for the farmer.

POLITICAL DEADBEATs.

The politicians of the country have
franked S2O,O0O,OO0 worth of mail
the past year at the expense of the
people.
Political campaign material trans
mitted free OF postage through the
mails accounted, according to the
postoffice department records, for a
difference between a postal surplus
and postal deficit for the fiscal year,
which has recently ended An ac-
count of franked mail forwarded for
congress, the executive departments
and other government establishments
shows that postage at the ordinary
rate on this matter would have Melted
the government nearly $4,000, 900.
About 3,250,00O of this would have
been paid on political documents.
The postal service handled during
the year 31O,245, 600 pieces of frank
ed mail weighing 61,371,OO0 pounds.
This was 38 per cent of the total
weight of all domestic mail carried.
During the presidential and con-
gressional primary campaign in the
last quarter of the fiscal year, as dis
closed by comparison with the
amounts of free matter sent during
corresponding periods of previous
years, an extraordinary amount of
franked matter was sent through the
mails at public expense. This mat
ter consisted of political speeches, re-
ports and documents of all kinds and
even of one complete political cam
paign book, all Of which had beer
made technically frankable by inser
ton in the Congressional Record. 1
is computed that the total weight o
this franked matter was between
10000 and 5000. 900 pounds. al
of which was transmitted as first
class mail.
Isn't it time that the people wer
demanding that this species of gra
by their public officials stop? VIII
right have the politicians to tax Il
people foe large part of the expen
of their campaigns?

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS.

Announcement is made in the To-
cal columns of The News that Red
Cross Christmas Seals will be sold in
Dawson by the local w. c. T. T.,
chapter. This is work in which the
club women all over Georgia are in
terested just now.
The Red Cross Christmas Seal
dates back in origin to the charity
stamp" used during the civil war to
raise funds for soldiers relief. Now
it is used to raise funds to stamp out
that dread Observation-Disclosures.
The seals sell for one cent each, and
are used on Christmas letters and
packages-not as postage stamps,
but as expressions of a desire to help
in the fight against the great white
plague" which claimed 1000 vic
tins in Georgia alone in 1911, and
where thousands of sufferers are now
in need Of help, The proceeds are
used in the following ways;
To provide visiting trained nurses,
whose services are free to sufferers.
To help maintain dispensaries,
where thousands of consumptive pa
tents receive free treatment and as
sistance.
To help purchase millions of cir
culars and similar literature with
which the public has been educated
about tuberculosis.
To help establish and maintain
open air schools for consumptiye
children who need treatment.
Every man. woman and child in
Georgia can and should help in this
great work. The News hopes our own
people will remember to get these
little stamps, which will not only give
festive look to their Christmas
packpages, but mean something to
the cause of humanity The money de-
rived from the sale of them will go
towards hiring a field secretary to go
over the state and instruct the people
in the prevention of tuberculosis.
If you expect to use the Red Cross
Seals and will signify your intention
early enough it will give the commit
tee an idea as to how many to order
to meet the local demand. An order
has already been made, and for the
convenience of those who may de-
sire them the stamps will be placed
on sale at some of the stores of the
city.

Notwithstanding the excitement
and faction fights of the recent pres
idential campaign the total vote
cast as shown by the complete re
turns, published in this issue of The
News, was not as large as in 1908
by more than 100000 votes. And,
as the Savannah News points out, it
must be remembered that there were
approximately 100000 more voters
in 1912 than in 1908 The conclu-
sion is inevitable that the people
we're much less interested in the re-
cent presidential campaign than they
we're in the one four years before.

EXAMPLE AND PRECEPT.

From the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
Gov. Jos. NJ Brown of Georgia has
lust measured an acre in his Chero-
kee county farm which produced 1873
bushels of corn. This breaks the
worlds record for corn raised by a
governor, for even the chief execu-
tive of Virginia, who is very Jealous
in telling the farmers of the state
how to do it, has not yet resorted to
the better plan of showing them.
Therefore, by just so much as exam
pie is better than precept is the gov
ernor of Georgia ahead of the gov
ernor of Virginia.

Even in Politics "Boozers'


One efficient spellbinder in thu re-
cent campaign, whose face and Ian
guage were fiorid, came YEARLY into
the drinking part of big hotel and
boisterously invited by a group of
men to take something. He sagged
in a big soft chair and thought deep
ly. Then, says the New York Times,
he said he would take glass of
lemonade.
"And say" he called to the wait
er, ejust put a dash of claret in it.
That's as fas as l dare go these re-
generate days"
There were some jeering remarks.
The spellbinder smiled.
THE days when a mans ability
could be gagged by the amount of
rum he could consume have passed, >"
he said. "In the bad old days man
was in danger of being considered
disloyal to his party if he kept sober
throughout a campaign. But now
drinking man has no show"
Then the spellbinler made a little
speech about the futility of the work
of prohibitionists. He declared that
no man could hope to be prosperous
or respected if he made it habit
to get drunk. He said he knew a
hundred business men who would not
have an employee who drank, for the
reason that drink breeds carelessness,
unreliability and slOth.

binder. Il was one of three who made
trips throughout this state to adj
dress crowds in behalf of candidate
who was of the party. More than
once I heard the candidate say that
/ at certain points where we were
scheduled to stop the meetings would

and I wondered how he knew. One
night we made a tour of nine dis
tricts in this city, and the candidate
picked out two of them and declared
that it would be hardly worth while
to bother with them. He told me
that the arrangements would be bad

enough, but l could plainly see that
we might as well have remained away

asked the candidate how he was sure
about the meetings, and he replied
that he made it part of his business
to know something about the charac-
ter of the leaders of the districts or
the counties who were responsible
for getting up the meetings.
THAT was a story of drinking
men. | learned then that political
leaders who were known to be heavy
drinkers were failures as leaders of
these sections were what are called
'rummies.' They were bad leaders.
They ruled by the power of the place
they held. They were not respected,
and decent men and women would
not attend a meeting where such men
as these would play prominent part.
The subject interested me so much
that I made a point of getting as much
information about it as I could. l
have not talked with one man who
did not cordially agree with me that
the day of the heavy drinker is over.
He has no longer any place in a de-
cent calling.

duced this result. Public opinion is
alone responsible for it. A drunken
man is looked upon with contempt.
