HOLDING COTTON TIGHT
ONLY 80 BALES FOR 5000 LOT
COULD BE GOT IN DAWSON.
Cotton Mill in Trade With Brick
Firm Wanted Large Lot of Sta
pie ct Prevailing Prices.

COLUMBUS, Ga.-Columbus cot
ton circles are interested in story
that is going the rounds as showing
how the farmers and other cotton
owners are standing to their guns in
the holding movement.
Recently a Georgia cotton mill had
occasion to make a substantial en-
largement of it's plant and the con-
struction involved called for about
one million brick. The contract for
the brick was awarded to a well
known Georgia brick manufacturer.
1t so happens that this manufacturer
has prominent family connections
throughout the state, icluding large
planters and merchants and bank
cashier in a leading cotton center in
Southwest Georgia. The mill officials
in awarding him the contract for the
brick asked him to buy for them
through his connections 5000 bales
of cotton at prevailing prices. This
was not an lron-clad condltlon OF
the contract, but he was to make ey-
cry reasonable effort to get the cot
ton. He did not doubt that he could
buy the 5000 bales and wrote to his
relatives and connections apprising
them of the situation. His relatives
were loyal and made a bona fide eff
fort to get the cotton, but met with
failure.
Dawson was one of the places
where the brick man expected to pick
up thousand or so bales. A prom
inent business man there acting as
his representative spent an entire
morning trying to buy cotton at the
existing quotations and secured just
exactly 80 bales.

BY FIRE IN SUMTER COUNTY
Thirty-twO Bales and Many Tons of
Seed Burned Friday Morning.


Seed Burned Friday Morning.
The third destructive gin house fire
in Sumter county this season occurr-
ed Friday morning and swept away
the large plant on the j. L. Cham
bliss plantation. The fire was dis
covered at a late hour in the night
and was far beyond the control of
Messrs Will and Jesse Chambliss,
who were among the first to arrive
at the scene of the conffagTation.
Thirty-two bales of cotton packed
and ready for market were entirely
destroyed, while probably a dozen
or twenty others wee saved. Besides
the destruction of the gin house and
cotton bales probably forty tons of
cotton seed, worth $500 or $500,
were burned as we'll. The loss of
several thousand dollars is complete,
as the property was not insured.

The ambassador commented on the
situation in Turkey by saying:
81 do not expect Turkey will be
drawn into the war. The mobilization
of troops is merely a matter of pre-
caution. The Swiss have modified
their troops, too, but there has been
no suggestion that Switzerland might

each farmer to plant certain pro-
portion of his land in corn, hay and
oats, and force him to raise so many
hogs and beef cattle on the theory
that it would be to his good. Such
action would mean the death blow to
independence and the paralysis of
wholesome initiative.
This precedent prepares the way
for legislative control of every pri-
vate business and regulation of the
energies of every individual.
Extravaganza is an evil, and
think it wise for every citizen to save
portion of his income, but | would
be reluctant to force any citizen to
be economical under penalty of Jail
sentence.
Il view with apprehension the CIV
ing of greater powers to any govern
ment than are absolutely necessary.
Southern people, under wise laws
written by statesmen of broad hori-
IONS, have prospered more marvel
ously than any people on earth. The
South produces now agricultural
products worth three hundred million
more than agricultural products
produced by the whole nation thirty
years ago. Our manufactures have
increased 1000 per cent, and this
has been due to the Independent en-
ergy and initiative of Southern citi-
zens, unrestricted by governmental
dictation.
Poverty Is Preferable.
Poverty is preferable to slavery,
and / would not shackle those ener-
gies that have accomplished so much.
nor would l administer a remedy so
far worse than the disease that in the
end it would sting like an adder.
Il do not underestimate the en-
barrassment of the present situation,
and | would be willing to endure any
personal sacrifice to prevent it, but
| am unwilling to do a wrong to
stay it.
Il believe the intelligent self-inter-
est of the farmers will curtail the cot
ton crop, and cooperation to this end
is a wise and effective remedy.
1T is time and an occasion when
would advise the utmost liberality
and consideration between business
men in business intercourse. The
loss is a common one, and it is be-
coming in those who are best able to
take a large share of the hardship,
recognizing the truth now so indeli-
bly, unprecedented we are our
brothers keeper
Il cannot determine what may be
done by other states. Concert of
action under varying constitutions
with different lines of thought is diff
fcult to be accomplished, It may
be that some proper and sane plan

ernor, may be helpful in this emer-
gency, and I repeat that l am willing

Congressional Investigating Commit.

out "Trip in Trinidad District.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Trinidad, Colo.-The members of the
congressional ub-committee, which was
investigating the Colorado coal strike,
last week saw for themselves the con-
OF the strike district.
A fifty-mile automobile trip took
them to tent colonies of strikers and
to guarded camps of two of the chief
operating companies opposing the
United Mine Workers.
For the first time since the strike
began leaders of both sides mingled
intimately and fraternally for an en-
tire day. At the Ludlow tent colony,
the largest of is kind in the world, E..
III. Weitzel, general manager of the
coal department of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company, and w. ]. Murray,
vice president of the Victor-American
Fuel Company, were treated as cour-
teously as the congressman them
selves.
In the camps of the coal companies.
John Lawson, national committeeman
of the United Mine Workers. and John
McLennon, president of the striking
miners. were as pleasantly received.
The four spent the day in good-na-
tured discussion Of incidents and ques-
tions of the labor controversy.
At the Ludlow tent colony several
hundred men greeted the investiga-
ors and those accompanying them.
while crowds of children flocked at
the heels Of the strangers. In their
midst walked Officers Of the state
militia and there was not the slightest
exhibition of rancor toward them.
At Ludlow, Hastings, Forbes and
Tabasco they were shown the strate-
gic points taken on the hills by the
contending forces in the bitterest
fights of the strike.

Watch Carefully
the Child'S Diet
Start Them OF Right With a Good
Laxative and Then Watch
Their Food.

lHeV FOOQ.
Mothers are often unconsciously
very careless about the diet of their
children, forcing all to eat the same
foods. The fact is that all foods do
not agree alike with different persons.
Hence, avoid what seems to constipate
the child or to give it indigestion, and
urge it to take more of what is quick
ly digested.
II the child shows a tendency to
constipation it should Immediately be
given a mild laxative to help the bow
els. By this is not meant a physic or
purgative. for these should never be
given to children, nor anything like
salts, pills, etc. What the child re-
quires is simply small dose of the
gentlest of medicines, such as DR..
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. which, in the
opinion of thousands. of watchful moth
ers, is the ideal remedy for any child
showing a tendency to constipation.
So many things can happen to a con-
stipated child that care is necessary.
Colds. piles. headaches. sleeplessness.
and many other annoyances that chill
dren should not have can usually be
traced to constipation.
Many of Americas foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin, be-
cause one can never tell when some
member of the family may need 1t.
and all can use 1t. Thousands endorse
It, among them Mrs NJ. z. Patten,
Valley Junction, Iowa, who is never
without it in the house. Mrs. Patten
