HERE TO RENT A
BUILDING FOR POSTOFFICE

Mr.. r. c. Cole, a representative
of the postoffice department at
Washington, is in Dawson today to
inspect the proposals and buildings
that have been submitted to the gov
eminent for a postoffice. 1t is under
stood that several buildings in differ
ent parts of the BUSINESS section have
been offered.
The lease will be for five years, be-
ginning on January LIST next, but it
is understood that the government
always reserves the right to cancel
its contract at any time.
An appropriation was made nearly
two years ago for the erection of
public building in Dawson, but even
a site for the structure has not yet
been purchased.
Uncle Sam is moving in this mat
ter with his usual leaden speed, and
every indication is that there will be
no government building in Dawson
soon.
When Congressman Crisp returns
to Washington he will try to hurry
them up.

The BREEDLOVE-STONE MARRIAGE
A Pretty Eevent in Which Popular
Young Couple Are United.

A most charming event of the sea-
son was the marriage of Miss Mamie
Breedlove to Mr., Henry w. Stone,
of Fort Screven, on September 18th.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. j. N. Hudson at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. B. W..
Breedlove, and witnessed by rela-
tives and and intimate friends. The
bride, a brunette beaUtr, never look
ed more charming than when she en-
tered the parlor on the arm Of the
groom. She wore a going-away cos
tune, a coat suit of purple broad
cloth, and carried a large bouquet OF
brides roses. The maid of honor,
Miss Willie BOwden, of Americas,
entered on the arm of the best man,
Mr.. Lucius Breedlove, uncle of the
bride. She wore becoming gown
of white crepe de chine trimmed in
real lace.
Immediately after the ceremony
the bridal party left for Cuthbert,
and upon their return were welcom-
ed into the dining room, where a
sumptuous supper was served.
The color scheme was green and
yellow, and was effectively carried
out in the parlor, hall and dining
room. Near the parlOr door, where
the briday party stood, was a bank
of ferns and browney-eyed susans,
and on the mantel were large vases
of cut flowers.
Mrs. Stone, most accomplished
young woman, is the eldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. B. w. Breedlove.
Mr.. Stone is a highly esteemed citi-
zen of Fort Screven, where he is con-
nected with the coast artillery corps,
holding a position as sergeant OF the
72nd company. After a few days
Mr.. and Mrs. Stone will be at home
to their friends at Fort Screven. The
many friends of the happy couple ex-
tend to them hearty congratulations.

|PRICE OF COTTON SEED
WAR CAN HAVE NO POSSIBLE
EFFECT ON THIS COMMODITY.
Farmer Says Seed Trust Should Be
Paying $25 to $50 Ton In
stead of Half That Much.

Editor Dawson News: 1t is evident
the farmers have not thought as
much of the situation as to the price
being paid for their cotton seed as
they are thinking of the price being
paid for the fleecy staple itself Not
a seed should now be sold to the oil
mills. They are simply taking adj
vantage of the effect of the European
war on the price of cotton to put
down the price of the seed. The two
situations are markedly different.
There is evident good reason for the
effect of the war on the price of cot
ton. There is absolutely no sort of
reason for the same on the price of
cotton seed. The cotton seed trust
should now be paying $25 to $50 per
ton for seed instead of $14. 1t is
entirely in the hands OF the farmer
to bring this result, and that soon if
there can be had a concerted action.
In the case of cotton, about one
half of our product is used abroad,
AS matter of course this part of the
consumption is now materially af-
fected and, consequently, there is an
obvious effect on the price of cotton
itself. No such thing is true of cot
ton seed and the manufactured pro-
duct thereof. Less of the manufact-
ured product of cotton seed was used
abroad during the year 1913 than
since 1896, it is said; still the price
of seed one year ago was far above
that to be had now. j seems from
reliable data that but about one
eighth of the manufactured product
of cotton seed is used abroad. Thus
it is evident that it is about all used
at home. Why, then, should the
price of seed be cut squarely in two?
There can be but one reason, viz:
the trust is making an effort to profit
greatly at the hands of the farmer
in the matter of this important pro-
duct.
Farmers of Terrell county, stop
selling your seed. You can afford to
haul them home and then back again
for the increase of price you will
surely obtain by proper cooperation.
Call a general meeting of the farm
ers of the county and get busy with
ways and means. FARMER.

GURR HAS SUGGESTION
HOW TO HELP ALONG 'BUY A
BALE" OF COTTON MOVEMENT.
Business Men and Farmers Should

Business Men and Farmers Should
Find Purchasers Among Houses
They Deal With in Cities.
Editor Dawson News: l note from
the last issue of your paper that your
news service has learned of the fact
that | sold a bale of cotton for 10
cents per pound on the buy a bale"
movement we are reading so much
about.
1t appears to me that this move
ment should be of great value to the
farmers if taken advantage of. I did
not wait for somebody to come along
and offer to buy my bale of cotton,
but wrote to a business house that l
had been having dealings with, and
they promptly agreed to take bale.
/ apprehend that our average mer-
chant and farmer have dealings
with numerous business houses
where cotton is not raised, and that
by calling upon these firms many a
bale of cotton can be placed and held
off the market. This movement
should not be stopped as soon as the
first mill gives ten cents, but should
be kept up antil enough is taken up
to carry the surplus. If the average
merchant and farmer will sell one
bale to be kept off the market the
effect will be wonderful. Respect
fully, W. H. GURR.

BUICK MEN BUY BALE

to Atlanta, Where 1t Is On
Display in the Office.
The employees of the Atlanta Office
of the Buick Motor Company, of
Flint, Mich, few days ago wrote
to the Lamar Automobile Co., agents
for the Buick car at Dawson, to buy
them a 500-pound bale of middling
cotton at 10 cents a pound. Their
request has been. complied with and
the bale of cotton shipped to Atlanta,
where it is stored in the company's
place of business.
In their letter the Buick people
said: This cotton we will store
here on our salesroom floor and we
will continue to keep it until the
farmers of the South are receiving
10 cents per pound for their product.
We have faith in the ultimate solu-
ton of the cotton situation. Pur-
chase the bale direct from the farm
err, leaving out all middlemen's prof
its or charges of handling. Advise
us of whom purchased, for the rea-
son that if this bale ultimately is
sold for more than ten cents per
pound we will remit the difference to
him.
The Buick car is one of the most
popular cars in the Dawson territory,
and the company's efforts to help the
South in this crisis is evidence of
their good will and interest in this
section.

PICKETT BUYS COTTON BALES
Order Came by Wire Monday to Ev-
cry Warehouse in the County.

Senator-elect D. c. Pickett has
enthusiastically joined the "buy a
bale" movement, which is intended
to boost the price of cotton.
Monday the four warehouses of
Dawson received from Mr.. Pickett,
who was in Rome, a telegram asking
that they each buy a bale of cotton
for him at 10 cents. and it is under
stood that similar kilograms were
sent to the warehouses in Parrot,
Sasser and Brentwood.
If all who can would follow Mr..
Pickett's example it would do much
to relieve the situation in the South.

INDUSTRIAL CLUB WORKERS.
New Movement Launched For Oregon

New Movement Launched For Oregon
Agricultural College.
Prepared by Oregon Agricultural college,l
One of the most unique meetings that
will be held ut the Panama-Pacific ex-
position will be that Of the young in
dustrial club workers Of the public
schools from many states. The move
ment was launched i'm Oregon by the
Oregon Agricultural college and the
state school superintendent of public
instruction. In arranging prizes for
winners in the Industrial projects 1t
was thought best to offer rewards of
an educational and cultural value rath-
er than those Of merely pecuniary val
ne. This plan naturally led to con-
ferences, state wide contests, short
courses In agriculture and trips to
county. state and national fairs.
In Oregon plans were made to orga-
nize industrial clubs in every school
district. In order to provide means by
which all children who desire to take
industrial work may do so without be-
ing forced into some project in which
they are not interested, ten projects
have been organized and a choice of
one or more of these offered to the
children. 1t was also the purpose of
the organizers to provide various lines
of industry suited to the widely diver
gent community interests Of the state.
For ten projects 1t was recognized at
once that there should be correspond
ing number Of capital awards. After
a very thorough investigation those in
charge OF the projects decided to offer
free trips with all expenses paid to the
final winners in each project This
scheme was no sooner announced than
business men of the state came for
ward and subscribed the necessary
amount Of money.
Having ascertained the success Of
this policy, Superintendent Churchill
wrote to state superintendent asking
them to send winners in school indus
trial contests so that all winners in
each project from every state as nearly
as possible might meet in juvenile
congress at the great western exposi-
ton. It Is intended that programs will
be arranged for the boys and girls of
the various states in which they will
be given an opportunity to tell of their
experiences and methods.

Irritation For Muck Lands.

The ideal irrigation system for muck
lands is that known as the Skinner
system. In most cases the water Is
forced directly into the pipe system.
and any pump that will insure pres
sure of forty to sixty pounds per
square inch will do the business. Ii
is important, of course. that the open
ings in the discharging pipes are made
true and in such way that the water
will be distributed evenly and regu
larly. The little nozzles which are de
vised for the Skinner system are not
so very expensive. and they seem to be
an essential part of the system, as are
also the turning devices and the drill
for drilling the openings for the I'm
sertion OF the tiny nozzles. 1t Is by no
means necessary to warm the water to
be used for irrigation. Any ordinary
spring or well or pond water Is good
enough. providing 1t is free from clog
ging material.-Farm and Preside.
