Two INITIATED MEASURES.

TWO INITIATED MEASURES.
While the main battle against John
Barleycorn has been fought and won
BY the anti-liquor interests. the war
with booze is not BY any means all
3 matter Of history. There will con-
time to be skirmishing and bandit
/ raids over the border to keep interest
alive. Neither the victor or the van
quished is quite content with the pre-
sent status of the liquor question in
Oregon. The drys have filed q mon
ster petition, with $4,000 signers
from every county in the state. which
will assure the placing upon the
ticket this fall OF a measure for the
creation OF absolutely arid territory
OF the state. II 1t is made the law of
the people at the November election.
the ban will be placed upon the ship
ment of liquor into the state. The
two quarts OF whiskey or "a quarts
Of beer allowed now each.30 days will

The brewers are not going to re-
linquish without another scrap. how
ever. With 42.O4s signers upon their
petitions. the liquor interests have
placed upon the ballot the sorcalled
equal rights for home industry
measure. The enactment of this law
would permit the operation OF brew
cries within the state for the manu-
facture of beer containing not more
than four per cent OF alcohol. the
beer to be sold according to the pre-.
sent regulations not more than "a
quarts to person in any 80 days,
The claim OF the supporters OF this
measure is that it would be better
for our people to drink Oregon beer
made from Oregon hops, and thus
establish payroll here. than to have
their beer shipped in from other
states. They contend that no more
would be consumed than at present,
and that the breweries could ship
their surplus to California and other
states where liquor is still legally
sold.
The fight over these two bills prom
ises to become pretty warm. the anti
booze element being determined to go
the rest OF the way and protect the
state from the inroads OF the boot
logger and the mail order saloon
keeper.

PERRY COOKE AN
ENGLISH SOLDIER
Dawson Young Man Enlists in Kings
Legion and Will Stand EXamina-
ton For Lieuteant's Place.

Last weeks News stated that in
formation received here led to the
belief that Mr.. Perry Cooke, son OF
Mrs. l. P. Cooke of Dawson, had en-
listed in the British army in Canada,
and a letter since received from Mr..
Cooke by his mother confirms the fact
that he is an English soldier.
In his letter to his mother Mr..
Cooke states that he has enlisted at
Toronto, Canada, in the Ninety-sev-
enth battalion of Kin's American Lee
gion, will soon stand an examination
for second lieutenant, and a few days
later will sail for England.
Mr.. Cooke, who is graduate from
the law department of Georgia Uni
versity, has had considerable military
experience as a cadet, and his friends
here hope that since he has cast his
lot in defense of the British flag he
will successfully pass the examina-
ton for a commissioned officers place
and should he have to face the bull
lets of the Teutons will escape inJu-
ries and cover himself with glory.

WEEVIL ATTACKS
The YOUNG COTTON
WARREN SUTTON, CLAY COUNTY
FARMER, PLOUGHS UP ONE
THOUSAND ACRES.

A Dawson travelling man who has
just returned from a trip to Clay
county, reports that the boil weeVil
has already attacked the young cot
ton in that coutny and is ravenously
destroying the foliage of the tender
plants, and that this fact was cause
for considerable alarm among the
farmers of that county, some OF
whom have already commenced
ploughing up their cotton and plant
ing the acreage in other crops.
Mr.. Warren Sutton, one OF the lar
gest farmers in Southwest Georgia,
has already ploughed up a thousand
acres, and is going to plant it IN
peanuts.
1t is an unusual thing for the boil
weevil to attack cotton in its early
growing stages, the pest generally
not making its appearance before the
squares begin to form, and their APP
pearance in Clay at such an early
period is cause for general alarm to
farmers of this section.

FAIR WILL PUT
TERRELL ON The MAP
A BIGGER AND BETTER COUNTY
, FAIR is BEING PLANNED BY
FAIR ASSOCIATION.

Terrell county Will have a booster
fair this fall. The time has come
when she should put herself on the
publicity list and show to the world
what she can do. Last year on open
ing day there were more visitors in
attendance from neighboring coun-
ties than from Terrell itself. This
year the fair will be advertised more
widely than ever, and we must have
something to show the people.
In educational exhibits and wo-
mans departments our fairs have al
ways come up to and even gone be-
yond expectations. What we want
now is to make an extra effort on the
line of agriculture and live stock.
The exhibits were fine in the past,
but we want more of them. This
year we must have a general exhibit
from every district besides the spe-
cial individual booths in each district
exhibit
Get to work now to plan for these
things, pull for the home county, and
let us make old Terrell the banner
county of the state.
