Last night E. F. Wells beat E. Wal lace Smith in the only match played +, the Board of Trade billiard tourh- amen.. It was a Class A match an' was expected to be one of the closest of the tourney therefore large crowd os spectators gathered to see the play. The contest, however. was no: close II proved to be walk away for Wells. This was due in part to the fact that smith did not play up to form and had bad luck. but chiefly because N els played a remarkably strong game.
 Wells as scatch man nau 10 score 800 10 win. and Smith was playing 275. In 57 innings Wells had arrived at his destination while his oppaneni m 56 innings had marked up only 1l9. wells average was 5.26 and Smiths -12. Wells made runs of 31. "A. r. l6, 15 IA and 12, while the largset runs by Smith were Il, 10 and 8.
 Although the game was entirely one sided it did not lack In interest r,r both men are accomplished play ,rs. Wells especially held the crowo bi biea:hless while he negotiated difficult shots. Once he had a set-up that Is impossible to the average player the .hree balls being inne Ii at an acute angle to the cushion. He scored a billiard from this by making three cushions before the carom. This shot evoked prolonged applause as did an- other which involved a bank before making the billiard.
 Wells playing was very fine in- deed. He has done the seemingly inn possible by convincing many billiard sharps by the few games he has play ed that he Is either the equal or su- perior of that popular idol George Grigsby. Last nights performance added a considerable number to the ranks of those who think that or,s.- by's superior has at las. arrived here. The hope was freely expressed that Grigsby may come to Nome next summer so that a series of matches between these experts may be pulled off.

Searching Criticism Charging

Editor of The Dawson News An
eagle flying over the city would be
us much affected by the fussy twit-
terings of the little sparrows far be-
low as was the Hon. William Jen-
nings Bryan, our distinguished
guest, on Saturday by the efforts of
certain disgruntled politicians to
discredit his appearance in Dawson.
While they sulked in their tents an
audience of intelligent citizens of
the town and county, with their
minds open to receive the truth from
whatever source, enjoyed the rare
privilege of hearing a man the civil
!zed world delights to honor. it is
a matter of regret that the ones in
Dawson who needed most to hear this
message so broad in its conception
were conspicuous by their absence
and helped to advertise Dawson as
marrow and prejudiced to visitors
from other towns. 1t is all right to
hold entirely different views from

PLANT FOODSTUFFS,
URGES AGENT ALLEN
BALE CT COTTON WILL BUY AS
MUCH OF ONLY TWO COMMOD-
TIES AS 1T WOULD IN 1914.

Editor of The Dawson News:
Please allow me space to say to the
farmers that, owing to the great
shortage of foodstuffs for both man
and beast, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and the State Depart
mcnt are urging us to do our best
to get greater acreage of food
crops planted. The present outlook
seems as though we will not be able
to get these products at any prices
this time next year. If we take the
cotton now at the present price go
cents) it will not buy as much of
the foods Of any kind as a bale would
have bought in 1914, except rice and
ham meat. The prices you can Sc
cure for your food crops this fall will
be much better than ever before, as
the United States is face to face with
the problem of feeding the armies Of
the world
Then we take the boil weevil with
his powerful ability to destroy the
cotton crop. With all of these diff
ticultles staring us in the face it
looks as if it would be a great deal
more profitable to plant these food
crops and let go some more acres
OF cotton.
You might say that we have been
feeding q greater part of the world
for the past two years, as we have
the only country that has produced
fair food crop. Yet the South, as a
whole, has not been self-sustaining.
But the time is now on rs when we
must be self-sustaining. 1t seems to
me that under the present conditions
we can't afford to let this chance slip.
SO let me urge each, and every farm
er or other man who can to grow
something to eat-enough for home
and much to sell
The banks will furnish any farm
er wishing to get seed to plant food
crops Of any kind. Hoping to see
Terrell county in a condition that
she can feed herself and help her
neighbors regardless of what hap
pens. | beg to remain, respectfully,

" &$
Mr.. Bryan, but when we go so far
las to treat him with contempt be-
cause he exercises the right of an
American citizen to obey the dictates
of his own conscience we go beyond
the bounds CT decency, especially as
he was our invited guest.
| do not blame Mr.. Bryan that my
little mind has not been able to
grasp his world vision. Our narrow
skulls would possibly crack if we
tried all at once to think his great
thoughts, but may we not grow to
an appreciation of leaders of thought
by being in a receptive mood wher.
we have the opportunity to expand?
Dawson is full of fine people but
they are often influenced to THEN
hurt by the shrewd activities of poll
ticians whose minds constantly re-
yolve around personal aggrandize-
ment and political advancement. The
sooner we shake off these letters the
more rapidly will we advance to
that class OF cities distinguished for
broad and patriotic citizenship.
