While hunting on Pine Island Mr..

lost, and the guide he took with him,
a negro who lived in the vicinity,
could not pilot him out. AS the
swamp was dense and full Of var

heard the gun of another hunter,
which led to rescue from his predlca-

Mr.. Grimes learned that he was
already two miles in the swamp and
was going in a direction that was
eleven miles through it. Had ne
kept his course he would have come

FOOD PRICES DROPPING
A SLOW DECLINE IN NUMEROUS
ARTICLES is TAKING PLACE.
Hams and Bacon Among Things Are
Cheaper. Dealers Would Not Be
Surprised at Further Declines.

Here is some cheering news for
the long suffering public.
Moved by spirit of pity, or per-
haps by fear of exposure, those forces
which manipulate the price of food
stuffs have ordered small declines in
certain commodities. The declines,
although small, are welcome, and
householders can feel encouraged to
hope for further relief.
GRADUATED sugar is selling at
wholesale now for 6.87 cents a de-
crease of a cent a pound. Retailers
are giving twelve and a half pounds
fos a dollar. There is promise of a
further decline in this article.
Meal and grits are retailing at 80
cents a peck, which is about as cheap
as could be expected under the cir
cumstances. The price of meal and
grits is, of course, regulated by the
price of corn, which is selling also at
$1.20 bushel.
Salt pork, hams and breakfast ba-
cen are cheaper. Bellies are off two
cents a pound, the retail price being
II cents a pound. Hams are retail
ing at around % or % cents pound,
which is two or three cents cheaper
than a short while ago. Breakfast
bacon is two cents a pound cheaper.
The best can be bought for "a cents
a pound,
Lard is slightly cheaper, although
not enough to materially affect the
retail price. 1t was stated yesterday
bv a we'll informed retailer that
further decrease is expected.

TAKE CARE OF COTTON
SUGGESTIONS FROM ONE
WHO HAS HAD EXPERIENCE.
Much Loss Is Caused by Leaving the
Bales ON the Ground and EX-
posed to the Weather.

Editor Dawson News: AS the dis
position at the moment is to hold cot
ton, both on the farms and in ware
houses, would it not be good sug-
gestion through your paper to eau
ton both the farmers and the ware
housemen of our section to be very
caerful regarding the care of this cot
tonic keep the same from country
damage, both wet and dry rot? We
have had considerable experience
with damaged cotton, both in Geor-
gia and Alabama, where We purchas-
ed cotton, and the loss to the farmer
and warehouseman is simply fearful
where they have neglected the keep
ing of their cotton sound and dry.
Cotton placed near or on the earth
will decay just as fast, if not faster,
than from rain. Leaky sheds are
also very destructive to cotton by
damage. and when cotton is once dam
aged you will not only lose the dam
aged part, but will necessarily have
to pick off just as much good cotton
to get all the damaged staple and
make the bale merchantable; and
where you have to loosen the ties to.
much extent the bale will be classed
a "repack," just the same value of
samples, one cent per pound off from
the original value of the bale.
We have already this season re-
jected damaged cotton where the
farmer had just hauled it in to the
merchant to deliver on sale which
was decayed and not merchantable,
and we noticed several more bales
which would have been decayed and
understandable had they been left
in the original place they were moved
from before leaving the farm, as the
bagging had already showed signs of
decay and within ten days more, at
the original place, would have been
understandable and rejected by the
shipper.
We also noticed cotton already in
warehouses that would have decayed
had it not had proper attention and
been lined out in the sunshine and
air.
Cotton that once begins to decay
is like an eating cancer; it will con-
tinue to decay until it is absolutely
lost as far as value is concerned.
Look out for Mother Earth, leaky
sheds and rain water; all are very
destructive to cotton in bales.
We write this letter in the best of
faith, as we would dislike to see our
farmer friends lose so much by care
Iessness. One cannot be too careful,
as we have not the facilities to care
for or house all the cotton that we
are storing away to be marketed in
definitely. SANDERS COTTON co.

In Memory of the Baby Boy OF MIR.
and Mrs. j. w. Fox.
February 26, 12-September 2,
1914.-Richard Rea Collins was the
youngest of four manly boys born to
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Fox. Little Col
Inns, after a short illness, on that sad
September day closed his beautiful
baby eyes for the last long sleep. The
three brothers, Carver, Phelps and
Howard, still live to bless and bright
en- the home. The family will miss
the patter of little feet and the sweet
words the baby was just learning to
lisp. Little Collins was the Joy and
sunshine of the household-his life
only Just begun would remind you of
the first flower buds in springtime.
and his baby laugh was sweet like
music. The flower has been trans
planted to more cOngenial cline,
where it will grow and develop IN
der the guiding hand of the great
Husbandman. We commend the dear
family to the All-Father, who is too
wise to err and too good to do wrong.
In the resurrection they will find
their loved one again, and, finding,
will know him, for the book teaches
heavenly recognition. The Phila-
thea Bible Glass, of which Mrs. Fox
is a much beloved member, offers
words OF tenderness and sympathy
to the bereaved family.
