ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY,

The Dawson News is thirty-six years old,
and on entering its thirty-seventh volume
we tender assurance to readers and adver-
tisers of most cordial appreciation of the re-
lations this paper has had with both ele-
ments of its chenille during the past years.
No paper ever had more loyal and appre-
ciated clients, as readers and advertisers,
than The News, The paper has tried earnest
ly to render value received for every dollar
it took from reader or advertiser and it
hopes that the relations established may not
only endure but be enlarged during this
and coming years In no one during its past
years has The News failed to achieve some
distinctive advance or improvement of a ma
ture to make it more valuable to readers
and advertisers, and it is purposed to main
tain that record during the coming year. We
make no boasts nor indulge in over much
complacency, but we can say to the reader
that the paper will make steady effort at i'm
provement and progress, thus rendering it
more readable and valuable to it's friends
and patrons. The management is gratifed
with the progress of the past months, and
with grateful appreciation we begin the
journey toward another milestone in the ca
reer Of The News.

Millions in Cotton Waste.

What is called cotton waste has an an
nual value in England alone of not less than
$65,0OO,OO0. 1t consists of the fag-ends of
the bobbln, or 'cop" which weavers put into
their shuttles, besides all the pickings which
weavers and spinners throw upon the floor
and which are swept up every evening, and
also the dirty seedy stuff combed out of the
cotton IN the cleansing process Hundreds,
perhaps thousands, of women are EMPLOYED
in Lancashire in dividing this stuff into
good, bad, and middling, and it is sold at
various prices for various uses, the chief of
which IS mixing with wooden to make what
IS called shoddy, and also for paper-making.
for mating, for wadding, and many other
things.
1t is very probable that the failing of
the old Cornish mines, many of which have
been closed for generations, will presently
become very valuable as a source of radiuni.
The industry is still in it's infancy, but SO
Immensely valuable is radium owing to it's
scarcity and its wonderful properties that
any material which promises to yield ra-
dunn will become more valuable than gold
nine

FULL SPEED AHEAD.

The newspapers from day to day contain
new evidence that the countrys army pro-
gram is now a real one, and that the coun-
try's war leaders have finally reached pru-
dent and adequate conclusions as to the
speed with which the program should be put
through. Nothing could be more cheering
than the recent practically simultaneous an
nouncements that the country intends to
put 100000 soldiers overseas by next
June 30; that draft machinery is being pre-
pared to meet new problems even before
congress has indicated exactly what those
problems will be, and that it is definitely
planned to use the American armies next
year as a striking force in the greatest of
fensive the world has ever contemplated.
There isn't anything grandoise or junkerish
in plans like that. They are the only sort
of plans that dare be adopted if the country
really wants to win the war.
1t is to be hoped that our war leaders will
keep their present pace as long as the war
lasts. If they do that they will have a great
claim on the gratitude of their country,
and some Of those who have prodded and
goaded them in the past will be glad to
lead off in the applause.

SWATTlNG THE | W. w.

1t took trial jury exactly one hour the
other day to return d verdict of guilty in
the case of the l. w. W leaders indicted for
conspiracy against the national war pro-
gram. The men now face severe penalties,
long terms and heavy fines. But the pun
ishments are none too severe for the
crimes They have had fair trial, covering
a period Of nearly five months, during which
every opportunity was given them of dis
proving their guilt.
The l. W. W. organization has convicted
itself through its dubious activities and less
dubious literature. Long ago it stood con-
victed at the bar of public opinion, and it
only needed the somewhat tardy action Of
the courts to put It out of business. It's
practices are decidedly un-American, and, if
permitted to continue, would prove a men
ace to American institutions
1t is significant that there was not the
least demonstration in the court room when
the verdict was announced-a verdict that
not only asserts the majesty of the law, but
that gives notice to all organizations pro-
NOTED for the purpose of undermining the
orderly functions of regularly constituted
society that their nefarious activities must
cease.

DRIVES VS.. STEADY PULL

The Saturday Evening Post points out ed
itorially difference between the bond sell
ing policy of the United States and that of
England. Nearly year ago the British gov
eminent abandoned the method of the bond
sale drive and began continuous sale of
bonds. 1t had been hoped to raise by this
sale 1925, 100000 weekly, and results have
not been quite up to that But the average
receipts have been $4,000, 100000 every
week, and it must be conceded that this is
a remarkable achievement for country that
has been four years at war. As the Saturday
Evening Post says, without the excitement
of a periodic campaign nearly 80 per cent.
Of the governments expectations have been
realized"
There is not in America any serious sug-
gestion that the bond sale drives be aban-
doned. SO far they have been handled very
satisfactorily, and though the push will be
hard one, the coming fall drive will sue
coed, too, The public attitude toward it,
which is one of preparedness and realization
of duty, is both proof of the educational
value of previous drives and an assurance
that the coming one will not fail.

THE FUSSY TENTH

The tenth congressional district, which,
as the home of both Senator Hardwick and
Thos. E. Watson, for years has been a
storm center of super-heated politics, seems
destined to maintain its reputation and per-
haps make new record along that line dur
ing the remaining few days before the state
primary
The last day on which candidates could
qualify friends of Mr. Watson entered him
as candidate for congress against Carl
Vinson, the present incumbent, and the red
headed person, popularity referred to as the
sage of McDufie, spoke Saturday at Craw-
fordville to a record-breaking audience, and
many from all parts of the district journey
ands from all parts of the district journey
ing to the Taliaferro county capital to hear
him 1t was generally believed that when
Watsons newspaper, the Jeffersonian was
suppressed his power was broken and the
last had been heard from that stormy petrol
but that opinion may need revision.
Watson was largely instrumental in put
ting both Senator Hardwick and Representa-
tive Vinson in congress; in fact, it is gen
orally conceded that neither of them coulC
have been elected without his influence, anC
for that and other reasons the outcome OF
the race in the tenth will be awaited with
more than usual interest.

The Boy in Khaki.

Gone, but not forgotten,
Is that boy of yours today.
Where the muffied drums are beating
And they know not night from day.
He has left heart-broken mother.
Or sweetheart fond and true.
And never day passes, brave soldier,
But what they pray for you.
Pray that your soul may be guarded
BY spirit that will guide you through
And bring you at last to your loved ones,
Who are anxiously waiting for YOU
So do your best in the land of ''No Man
And don't be discouraged and blue
Just think of the ones you have left al
home,
Who are doing all they can for you.
Although they have not given their owr
lives,
They have given their pride and 10y
They have given the flower of their coun
try,
The sun-burned khaki-clad bow

Net coSt CT Nroddclng 0UU lbs.
lint -------- $1,000
Ne ---t per pound Of lint 1874
In the ac.uai making CT the crop we are
valuing horse labor 81 s day, con5erva-
tive figure, as anyone who has experienced
the cost of horse and mule upkeep viii
agree. We doubt if any owners would care
to feed and care for their horses and mules
and rent them out at anything like this fig
ure.
Human labor is always the biggest single
factor in cotton production, and relatively
human labor is right now the scarcest and
highest-priced of all the things that enter
into cotton production. Ignorant, unskilled
negro labor is easily commanding SO per day
at nearly every industrial plant in the South
and the farm labor supply has been depict
ed to an extent never before known Now
if cotton is to be raised in the future it
must certainly pay the grower as much as
he can get elsewhere. If it does not then
the worker will inevitably drift to the indus
try that pays the higher wage
For these reasons we are placing the la
Dor cost at SO per day. Amy man who OBJ
jects to this as being too high is simply as
serting that the man who tolls to make cot
ton has no right to as much pay for his days
work as the no more skilled man who works
in mill or mine.
Prices for picking last year were 81 so
per hundred in many sections, and we don't
expect to see much cotton picked for less
this fall Indications now are that prices
for ginning and wrapping will be around SIS
per bale, and this plus the cost of hauling
and marketing will be around SO per bale
On this basis, estimating seed at $40 per
ton, price we are by no means guaranteed
we have a net cost per pound of lint of 33 4
cents. Of course where the yield is above
125 pounds per acre the cost will be less
but as the yield falls below this average the
Icost will be correspondingly higher

There is danger that stiff taxes on small
incomes will net the government exactly
nothing. That is to say if the small sala-

the higher cost of living, is compelled also
to pay 10 per cent. in taxes on part of his
income he would buy fewer liberty bonds
and thrift stamps than he would otherwise
have done. The salaried man almost inva-
riably gets hit hardest, and from the most

What 1t Costs to Grow Cotton.
Some Figures.
From the Progressive Farmer.

The cost of growing cotton, of course,
must vary greatly in different localities,
with different farmers in the same locality,
and in different seasons In the drouth-
stricken portions of Texas last year, for in
stance, no doubt many a farmers cotton
cost him fully so cents pound to grow,
while in more favored sections the cost was
much less.
Here we propose to take the state of Ala
bama, where probably average conditions
prevail, in so far as factors affecting the
cost of cotton growing are concerned, and
analyze the probable cost of the 1918 crop.
The average per acre yield for the state
in 1917 was, according to the bureau of
crop estimates of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, about 125 pounds of
lint. 1t is generally agreed that last year the
season was more favorable than the aver
age, the comparatively small yield being due
to the boil weevil rather than unfavorable
weather. The weevil now, however, is in ev-
cry important cotton-growing state except
North Carolina, and wherever this pest is
present it is a most serious factor to be
reckoned with in growing cotton.
The following we consider fair estimate
of the cost of growing cotton in Alabama
at the rate of 1875 pounds of lint per acre
during the current year:
