$4,000 BLAZE MONDAY
HULL AND MEAL HOUSE OF DAW-
son OIL co. TOTAL LOSS.
The Origin of the Fire Is Unknown.
as the Plant Had Been Idle for
About Ten DAYS

The Origin of the Fire Is Unknown.
as the Plant Had Been Idle for
~ About Ten Days.
The Dawson Oil Company, owners
of the Farmers Oil Mill, were the
sufferers from another expensive fire
Monday morning. The blaze origi-
mated in the hull and seed house,
which is wooden building, and this,
together with all its contents. were
entirely destroyed.
The origin of the fire is not known.
The plant had been idle about ten
days, the seed having been all work
ed up, and it is thought by some that
the hre originated by the combustion
OF some OF the products stored in the
room. When the fire was first discov-
cred small blaze was licking
through the north wall of the build
ing, but in few moments it had
spread until the whole building was
enVeloped in flame.
The alarm was turned into the fire
department at about $3.50 o'clock in
the morning, the automobile fire
truck and the Sibley steamer re-
spending promptly, and the fire was
gotten under control by Z o'clock,
the f1remen doing heroic work to
save the adjoining buildings of the
plant. Two freight cars standing OH
the sidetrack loaded with meal ready
for shipment were entirely consum
ed leaving standing only the rolling
stock.
The loss to the building and con-
tents is estimated at $4,000, which
is fully covered by insurance
The contents consisted of about
800 tons of cotton seed hulls and a
vast quantity of cotton seed meal,
and this continued burning all day
with several streams of water play
ing on it.
Several monthSe ago the Farmers
Oil Mill had another disastrous fire
suffering a loss of about $1,000. At
this time the fire originated in the
Inter room and did much damage to
the linters and other machinery.
The Central of Georgia early morn
ing train, which is due in Dawson at
GAS o'clock, was delayed for some
time on account of hose being
stretched across the track.
It is understood that the owners
of the oil mill will take immediate
steps to rebuild the destroyed struct-
ure, in order to be in readiness for
next seasons business.

HURT IN A RUNAWAY.
MIR. j. /. Roberts Painfully Injured
Thursday Morning.

Mr.. j. l. Roberts was painfully in
jured Thursday morning by being
thrown from his buggy in runaway
breaking one of his ribs and ibruising
him up considerably.
Mr.. Roberts was returning from
his farm in company with Mr.. t. w.
Martin, and was crossing the railroad
near Mr.. ]. B. Roberts home when

BEGIN REVIVAL SUNDAY
SERIES OF MEETINGS WILL BE
STARTED BY METHODISTS.
Rev. j.. Nj. Cutler, the Pastor, Will
Do All the Preaching. Singing to
BE an Interesting Feature.

Do All the Preaching. Singing to
BE an Interesting Feature.
Next Sunday morning at II O'Clock
revival will be started at the Meth
odist church and will very likely con-
tinue about two weeks.
Rev. j. M. Cutler, the pastor, has
announced that he will do all the
preaching himself, and that he hopes
to make the meeting one OF the most
successful soul-stirring revivals in
the history of the Dawson church,
and in view of the fact that he is to
do all the preaching himself he hopes
for the hearty cooperation and pray
ers of the entire church membership
of Dawson for the salvation of souls.
He says the preacher alone cannot
have a revival, and that If there is to
be real revival it must come from
on high, and he needs the prayers
and sympathies of his membership
and all other christians.
Mr.. Cutler says that he hopes that
the singing will be one of the most
interesting features of the meeting,
ana LnaC all singers are cordially IN
vted to assist the choir.
The morning services will consume
just one hour-from 10 to II
o'clock-and the pastor is anxious
that the merchants who can will close
for one hour during these services
and give their clerks a chance to get
the benefit of the morning services
The night services will commence
promptly at 1880 o'clock.
Children's services will be held
during these meetings, the hour Of
which will be definitely announced
later.
Rev. Cutler is one of the ablest
ministers in the South Georgia Con-
ference, and the fact that he will not
have any assistance in the meetings
will not deter the interest in them.
He is an eloquent, fluent speaker and
has a wonderful power in holding the
interest of his congregations. He is
in constant demand to assist in re-
vivals at other points, and all who
attend these services may expect elo-
quent and soul-stirring sermons.
