SPIRITUAL RESOURCE
COMMITTEE APPOINTED
Plans Are Being Made for a Great
Intercession Drive. Three Goals
Are Aimed at in the Work.

At the Methodist church Sunday
Messrs. M. H. Harper, R. L. Saville
and W. F. Sherman were appoint
ed committee on spiritual resources
and intercession. Like committees
are being named throughout the con-
nection to carry out the Centenary
program, as it relates to the spiritual
feature of the enterprise. Plans are
being made for a great intercession
drive to be put on in the entire
Southern Methodist church the week
beginning August oath, and the COM
mittee will have charge of this mat
ter.
Three goals are aimed at in the
drive-every pastor enrolled, every
official member of the church a men,
Der of the Fellowship of Intercession,
and minimum or forty per cent. of
the church membership enrolled in
the Fellowship of Intercession.
An earnest effort is being made by
leaders of the denomination to en-
phasize the fact that raising thirty
five million dollars was not the ulti-
mate objective of the Centenary cam
paign. The promotion of a church
wide revival of religion, the develop
ment of the spiritual life of the con-
nection and the extension of the
Lords kingdom in all the earth are
the ends sought.

A CAPTIVATING PLAY AT
PALACE THEATER WEDNESDAY
Mae Murray, in "The Big Little Per-
son." Will Charm Audience.

Arathea Manning loved the voices
Of children. When the death of Dad
threw upon her the support of her
self and a weak, trusting mother
Arathea naturally turned to the
pointer and the blackboard
She was happy among the tots of
her school room until Disaster, the
terrible old witch Of the fairy story,
overlook her and sealed those little
ears with deafness. Then her lover
grew ashamed of his deaf princess,
and forsook her for another.
A wonderful person came into her
lonely life. A man of genius, who
made the deaf hear and the normal
to thrill by his inspiring music. He
lived only for the day when she
should hear his love music drawn
from the soul of the piano.
How the cruelty of her lover agon-
lied her tender spirit and brought
the world of sound once more to
her ears is told in one Of the most
captivating photoplays ever screen
ed. See it at the Palace theater on
Wednesday, July 10th.

CUTHBERT AND PARROTT TO
PLAY BALL HERE FRIDAY
Promises to Be Good Game, and Both
Sides Feel Confident.

SlCeS reel SOnHQenC.
The baseball fans of Dawson and
the adjacent towns will be treated
to real ball game on the local dia-
mond next Friday, July 18th, when
the fast Parrot nine crosses bats
with the equally as fast Cuthbert
team.
It. will be remembered that these
two teams were pitted against each
other here in Dawson on July 4th,
but the unkind intervention of j.
Pluvious spoiled the fun, as both
clubs were scrapping with dander up
and fur was beginning to fly. How
ever, J. Pluvius has been in the lime
light long enough and next Friday,
when his jumps calls "play ball'' we
all may look forward to some classy
baseball. It is probable the two
teams will present the same lineup
as on the 4th. The game will start
promptly at 4:30. Admission 25
cents for children, 35 cents for
adults.

AUTO TAX MONEY HELD
UP UNTIL SEPTEMBER 10TH
Was Used to Pay Pensions, and Coun
ties Must Wait.

A resolution was offered in the
house on Monday authorizing the
state to withhold the auto tax money
due the counties until the receipt of
corporation taxes in September
nearly 100000 in all.
Terrell county has over 1000 due
her in this fund and badly needs the
money at this time to tide over sum-
mer expenses.
The reason given for the delay
asked was that the governor had
been forced to use this fund to finish
paying pensions.
The resolution was referred to the
committee, and should it pass it will
force many counties to borrow as
much.

No Horses on Largest Farm.

A 200,OO0-acre farm, the largest In
the world, which is the direct result Of
the governments efforts to stimulate
the growing Of wheat, is described by
Robert H. Moulton in Everybody's.
''The farm is devoted entirely to
wheat, and if it produces somewhere
around the country's average Of TWEEN,
ty-eight bushels per acre. which is
practically certain, it will add approx.
mately 5,650,OO0 bushels to the 1919
wheat crop" says the writer.
"All Of the work is being done with
tractors. Last fall when the first
ground was broken, there were fifty
monster machines at work tearing up
the prairie sod. They pillow on an
average Of one acre a minute for the
working time. A record was made
one day Of 1880 acres turned and
broken. All the seeding, harvesting,
etc., will also be done by tractors, and
then, of course, there are the thrash
ing machines. Hence. the absolute
no-accountness Of horses about this
place."

'NICK'Ss HARD FATE
One Romanoff to Whom Country
Has Been Ungrateful.
Story Of Great Russian Military Conn
mander Most Amazing Romance
Of the War-His Splendid Gen.
eraIship Is Recalled.

From March, 1917, till October, 1918,
Grand Duke Nicholas Romanoff, for
mer commander In chief of the Rus
sian armies and one Of the most brill
liant generals Of the great war, was
q prisoner in the town of Yalta in the
Crimea. He Is now In Milan with his
family, humbly housed. The story Of
"Big Nick" Is one of the most amaz-
ing romances Of the war, the Pitts
burgh Gazette-Times states.
When the bolshevid gained control
Of Russia Nicholas was residing at
Tifis, where he had been governor UNI
der the car and under the Lvoff
regime. He was summoned to Yalta
by the bolshevik authorities and obeyed
the summons. His brother, his wife,
his sister-in-law and other members Of
his family and his suite were impris-
oned with him. twenty-five bolshevik
soldiers were detailed to guard the dis
tinguished prisoners.
Late In the summer of 1918 It was
decided by the Yalta soviet to execute
all the prisoners. The bolshevik guards
absolutely declined to permit the SEN
tence Of death to be executed and sent
the firing squad back to headquarters.
Three times thereafter executioners
were sent to kill the prisoners, but in
each instance the guard prevented the
carryfng-out Of the sentence.
When the Germans came to Yalta
Nicholas declined to permit the Ger
mans to enter the house that had been
his prison, declaring his utter loath-
ing Of all things German. Soon after
this the allies took Yalta and Nicholas
was rescued.
All the private fortune Of the grand
duke has been lost. His lands have
been conf1scated. At Milan he lives
comfortably, but very unostentatiously.
Democracy owes much to Grand
Duke Nicholas. He was, In fact,
stanch upholder Of the old Russian abb
solutism. But first Of all Nicholas was
a Russian. He knew Russia's saliva
ton depended on the vanquishing Of
Germany. He was leader Of con-
summate skill and 1t Is more than prob
able that only his splendid generalship
prevented Germany from winning the
war in the early stages. His retreat
before the tremendous attack Of Mack
essen and Hindenburg, which resulted
In the saving Of the Russian armies,
was one Of the most notable chapters
of the war.
Between the bolshevist Russia Of to-
day and the old autocratic Russia for
which Nicholas fought, practical stu
dents and statesmen find little choice.
but 1t must be admitted that the au-
tocracy produced great men. while the
gutter communism has found only
scoundrels for its leaders. In the
awarding of justice there should be
some provision for this gigantic Rus
sian, who in 1914 and 1915 prevented
Germany from marching to easy vic
tory.
