Food Stuffs of All Kinds Are Travel

War Given as Excuse.

War Given as Excuse.
In Dawson, as elsewhere, the price
of bulk meat, under the deft manipu
lation of the meat trust, continues tt
climb higher; not because of any un
/ usual scarcity in the supply of meat
but evidently the purpose of the
packers to boost prices still higher
This is the information coming from
the western meat centers, where the
pinch is also being felt by consumers
in the exorbitant prices demanded
within the past few days.
1t is openly charged in Chicago
that packers are storing meat in 9th
err localities, not for sale, but to Gre

1t is said that one Chicago packing
house has bulk pork and meats of all
kinds stored in its branch ware
houses. where most of it has been
for some time 1t is said these con-
ditions exist in many Georgia cities.
The meat is simply being packed
away in storage while the prices are
being boosted without just cause.
Other foodstuffs that do not usu-
ally advance as high are travelling in
the same company now as the result
Of the war abroad. Already sugar
has nearly doubled in price and is
still crawling, another half cent per
pound having been levied upon con-
sumers by the sugar trust Today a

ADVANCE $3.50 A BALE
BANKS WILL EXTEND NOTES IF
COTTON RECEIPTS ARE LEFT.
Bankers of City and County Held a
Meeting Saturday Night to Con-
slider Present Situation.


slider Present Situation.
At meeting of the bankers of
the county, held in Dawson Saturday
night, the present depressed business
situation, especially as it relates to
the gathering and marketing of the
cotton crop, was considered.
At the meeting were representa-
tives of the following banks: Daw-
son National, City National, Bank of
Dawson and First State Bank, all of
Dawson; the Terrell County and the
Farmers Bank of Brentwood, the
Bank of PARROT and the Bank of
Weston.
Banks Make Agreement.
After an informal discussion of the
situation it was agreed that the banks
would not advance more than $3.50
per bale on cotton, which must be
used in gathering it. 1t was also
agreed that if the farmers will place
with the banks their cotton receipts
as additional security the payment of
notes that will soon mature will be
extended until in the discretion of
the banks it is wise to place the cot
ton on sale. Embodying this decis-
ion as to their policy during the pres
ent crisis the following statement was
issued by those at the meeting:
"To the Public at Large: The un-
precedented financial condition pro-
duced by the European war, which
makes the marketing of our cotton
crop exceedingly unsatisfactory, has
caused considerable concern upon
the part of the banks of this imme-
date section. We have informally
discussed ways and means and have
decided to recommend to our Gus
toners the following method of pro-
cedure:
Undertake to harvest the cotton
as expeditiously and as economically
as possible, requiring the laborers
who have produced it to harvest it as
fully as possible. At present the
banks feel unauthorized to advance
more than $3.50 per bale to aid
in the harvesting of the crop, and
under no condition should more than
$500 be expended per bale for the
picking of the same. 1t will be nee
essary perhaps to sell the seed under
dertake to cooperate with the farm
ers in Withholding the cotton from
sale until in their discretion it is
wise to place the same upon the mar
ket, and will postpone payments OF
notes due if the owners of the cotton
will place with the banks as addi-
tional security their cotton receipts.
The indications are that the war may
continue for some time and perhaps
it may become necessary to sell con-
siderable amount of cotton pro-
duced, which fact must be determin-
ed to some extent by each individual
for himself. The situation demands
economy, labor, sanity and co-opera-
ton upon the part Of all parties.
Rumors of large sums being paid or
advanced in other communities by
other banks may be disregarded, as
the situation is general"
