FIFTY NILES TOO MUCH

the Expense and Say That the

Carrier Simeon H. Roberts. who
has been a rural mail carrier since
the service was first established from
the Dawson postoffice, has asked the
postmaster to give him temporary
leave of absence.
When the three new fifty mile let
tered routes superseded five 24-mile
numbered routes from Dawson, abol-
ishing the route he had carried for
years, Mr.. Roberts was given tenn
porary appointment as one of the 80
mile carriers, and he faithfully serv-
ed the patrons of the new route for
10 days, when he notified Postmaster
Cheatham that he was not phyically
able to serve a 50-mile route longer
and asked to be relieved. Mr.. Rob
erts says that a 50-mile route is too
much for a man much younger than
himself to carry without injury to his
health, and that if the health of a
carrier is not injured the cost of car
rying the mail is too much for the
amount received, and that man can
barely make a scanty living out OF
his net income.
Other carriers are complaining
about the operating expense as well
as the physical strain of the 5O-mile
service.

GIN WAR IS now ON
DAWSON GINNNERS CUT THE
PRICE TO 80 CENTS A BALE.
The Local Cotton Oil Mills in Fight
For Cotton Seed Slash Ginning
Prices ON the Staple.

For Cotton Seed Slash Ginning
Prices ON the Staple.
The ginners of Dawson are in the
throes of a fierce cut-price war, and
the farmers are smiling over the
prospect of cheap gin prices this fall.
The fight was started by the Daw
son Cotton Oil Company announcing
that they had doubled the capacity
of their ginnery and had reduced the
price of ginning from one dollar and
a half to one dollar per bale. This
price was promptly met by the gin
neries of the Southern Cotton Oil Co.
and A. ]. Baldwin & Co.
The gin owners living outside of
Dawson met in Dawson last Thurs
day, and after discussing the ques
ton of rates at considerable length
they reached the conclusion that they
could not afford to reduce the price
of ginning below the established
price of $3.50. The ginners adopted
no resolutions on the subject, but
reached the conclusion that it was
the duty of every individual ginner
to do the best thing for himself. The
Southern Cotton Oil Company came
back at the price cutters with an adj
ditional cut by announcing that they
had reduced the price of ginning to
so cents. This cut was promptly met
by the Dawson Cotton Oil Company
and A j. Baldwin & Co., and now
the farmers of the county can have
their cotton ginned at so cents bale
by bringing it to either one of the
Dawson gins.
1t is said that the origin of the
gin war is the anxiety of the oil mills
to handle the cotton seed, it being
more convenient and less expensive
to the farmer to leave his seed at
the gin than to haul them away.
C. G. Riley, manager of the Daw-
son Cotton Oil Co., said that when
he made the reduction in the price of
ginning from $3.50 to $1.00 it was
not his intention or desire to COM
mence a cut price war, but that in
view of the fact that his gins had
been doubled in capacity and improv-
ed in efficiency, decreasing the cost
of operation, he felt that his company
could afford to gin the cotton at 81
a bale.
The independent gin owners, how
ever, claim that at less than Sl.oO
a bale the gins cannot make any mon
ey, and that so cents a bale is less
than the cost of ginning, without TAX
ing into consideration the interest on
investment and the depreciation in
gin property, and they are sore over
the cut rate war and the subsequent
loss it will cause them, and are quiz
city intimating that they propose to
boycott the authors of the cut rate
war and not sell them any seed.
In the meantime the farmers are
pleased over the outlook, and feel
that st is an i'll wind that blows
good to nobody"
