Dear Mr.. Dykes:
Lieut. Enders gave me your letter

153th Infantry, was sent to the 126th
Infantry on or about September l22,
1918, as a replacement. We were at
that time in the Argonne forest. This
as YOU no doubt know, was one of thc
big battles of the war. We suffered
heavy losses. Your son was killed a
days after reporting, by machine
gun bullet passing through his head,
His death was instantaneous, of
course, and he did not suffer. This
happened near Somagne, and he was
buried there with his companions who
fell with him in battle.
I did not know your son, but have
no doubt as to his bravery, heroismi
and devotion to a great cause. He
has given his life, it is big price but
the victory is great. 1t is for us to
live these principles for which ou1
comrades. have given their lives.
May the Lord bless you and yours
in this time Of sorrow. Sincerely

HORSE, HOGS AND PRODUCE

Mr.. J. r. Webb and a Tenant Lose
Heavily. Origin of Fire Unknown.
A barn on the farm of Mr.. J. R.
Webb was burned several days ago,
and The News, through the rush and
turmoil of the last issue, overlooked
this item. The fire occurred in the
early hours of the morning, no one
discovering it until too far advanced
TO extinguish it. In the loss incurred
by Mr.. Webb and his colored tenant
were a fine horse, valued at $3.50,
two tons Of hay, six fine hogs, 20
bushels Of cotton seed, 8 tons of fer
tilizer, one binder and about 200
bushels of corn. Including the barn
and the other articles the total loss
aggregates 81, 500 or more, on which
there was S400 insurance. Both Mr..
Webb and his tenant are heavy los
ers. No clue as to the origin of the
Ere have been found, but it was
thought to have been incendiary.

REV. LAWRENCE GAVE
WAR EXPERIENCES
MINISTER GAVE THRILLING AC-
COUNT OF CONDITIONS AND
HARDSHIPS IN FRANCE.

To read of the battle fields of
France and the heroic service of the
American expeditionary force is
nothing to be compared to hearing
the realistic details from one who
for months was in the midst of actual
warfare.
Rev. ]. B. Lawrence, at the Epis-
copal service held in Dawson Thurs
day evening, gave vivid pictures of
army life in bits of personal expe-
rience that thrilled his hearers. While
the speaker did not dwell on the
narrowing scenes of suffering and
death to which he was an eye witness
he brought every one to see that it
was unspeakably horrible, and his
declaration that the only consistent
attitude for Christian America is to
work and hope and pray for perma-
nent world peace found a hearty re-
spouse in each heart.
His tribute to the self-forgetful
service of our soldiers was touching,
but at the same time he gave due
praise to the faithful workers at
home. The speaker stated that one
overwhelming idea of France could
be expressed in three letters-m-u-d.
He saw the sun but six days from
the first of September until the last
of January. The hardships endured
by the troops on forced marches
through rain and slush was indescrib-
able. In the section through which
Rev. Mr.. Lawrence travelled with the
soldiers primitive methods prevail,
and the conveniences which are ta-
ken as a matter of course by the
average Americans are unknown.
The unsanitary conditions were dis
agreeable in the extreme.
Those fortunate enough to attend
this service were deeply impressed,
and are looking forward with keen
interest to the next visit of the min
lister, when he will speak on the last
drive.

Question Cleared Up
Dawson Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence.

Again and again we have read of
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Dawson's pertinent question has
always been HAS anyone here in
Dawson been cured?" The word of
stranger living a hundred miles
away may be true, but it cannot have
the same weight with us as the word
of our own citizens, who we know
and respect. and whose evidence we
can so easily prove.
Mrs. J. C. Hill, 634 E. Lee ST.,
Dawson, says: "My kidneys were
weak and I felt dull and tired.
often had dull backaches and pains
in my kidneys. Frequent headaches
and dizzy spells made me miserable
and my kidneys acted irregularly.
Doan's Kidney Pills were recon-
mended to me and used some. They
soon cured me of my trouble and
made me feel better in every way"

VERDICT FOR $500
AGAINST SEABOARD
MRS. M'NAIR GIVEN A VERDICT
AGAINST RAILROAD FOR THE
DEATH OF HUSBAND.

The suit of Mrs. Hattie McNair
against the Seaboard Air Line rail-
road for 100000 for the death of
her husband, Bolton W. McNair, in
August, 1917, resulted in a verdict
by the jury for $500 for the plain
tiff. The attorneys for the railroad
gave notice that they would file a
motion for new trial. McNair, who
was section foreman for the Seaboard
was killed near Dawson on Sunday
by a passenger train while crossing
the railroad track in a new auto
mobile which he had recently pur-
chased.
Another railroad damage suit dis
posed of was that of Buff Gore, col
ored, against the Central railway for
$4,000 for injuries alleged to have
been sustained by being struck on
the head with a rake while he was
entering a round house belonging to
the company. Gore was a fireman for
the railroad, and the injuries he
claimed to have received were infict-
ed while he was firing an engine in
Alabama. The jury returned a YER
dict in favor of the railroad.
A $4,000 Mule Suit.
Another damage suit in which there
was considerable interest was that
of j. H. Hunt, of Gainesville, Ga,
against R. e. Mcdowell, of whom he
bought nine mules and seven of which
died. The. suit was for $4,000. The
mules were part Of a carload that
was shipped from Nebraska in No
vember, 1917, and consigned to Car
tersville, Ga. Through an error the
railroad way bill read Carter, Ca.
flag station on the Seaboard rail
road near Dawson, and there being
no facilities there for unloading mules
they were shifted to Dawson, where
the owner finally overlook them and
again got them in his possession. The
mules having been without food for
sometime and exposed to the severe
billiards. that prevailed at that time
were very poor condition, and the
owner disposed of them for small
consideration to Mr.. Mcdowell, who
IN turn sold nine of them to Mr..
Hunt for less than 800 each. The
case was hard fought on both sides.
The jury returned a verdict Sat-
urday night in favor of the plaintiff
for $1,471.73, which included the
purchase price of the mules, interest
and other items of expense connect
ed with the transaction. Notice was
given Of a motion for new trial.
The city court, which convened on
Monday morning of last week, will
probably adjourn this afternoon or
tomorrow, having been in session
longer than at any time since it's
establishment nearly 20 years ago.
A large amount of business, both
civil and criminal, has been disposed
of.

Peanuts Bring $3.50 Ton in Dawson;
Demand Is Good and Will Be Better
In Past Two Years Local Oil Mills Have Paid the Farmers
This Section Two Million Dollars for This Product

The price of peanuts has shown
q considerable advance the past
three or four weeks, and sold readily
in the local market the past week at
from 1925 to $3.50 a ton, owing to
the grade and quantity. They are
quoted at $3.50 ton today in car
load lots.
These prices are practically as
high as peanuts have ever brought.
and the mills say there is no proba-
blllty of decline, as the demand for
peanut products is now good and
promises 70 be even better by the
time the next crop comes in; in fact,
1t is predicted that prices will be
higher next fall than ever before.
The peanut has been great fac
tor in the prosperity of Terrell coun-
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1919-04-29

ty in meeting boil weevil conditions.
Peanuts sold in the Dawson market
during the past two years have
brought the farmers of Terrell coun-
ty and immediate section 100000
in cash, to say nothing of many
thousands of dollars that they real
lied through the sale of hogs that
were fattened on them.
Mr.. H. A. Petty, who has had oc-
casion to make frequent trips into
many counties of this section of
Georgia, and also in some sections
of Alabama, says that he has OBJ
served that the most prosperous
communities are those in which the
least cotton is planted, and the farm
ers grow peanuts, corn, velvet beans
and oats and raise hogs and cattle.

TERRELL FARMERS ARE
BUSY "CHOPPING" COTTON
Acreage and Use of Fertilizers About
Same as Last Year.


Farmers of Terrell county have
been busy for week past chopping
their cotton, and a few have about
finished this work.
A conservative estimate is that the
acreage in cotton is approximately
the same as it was last year. Some
have increased small per cent. over
last years acreage, while some have
planted less. The fact is Terrell
county reduced its cotton acreage
two years ago, when the crop was
cut from the production of 10000
to $4,000 bales annually to 10000,
which has been the amount
grown the last two years. The pea
nut acreage has been reduced as
compared with last year, to what ex-
tent is not known.
One of the largest dealers in the
county informs The News that the
sale of commercial fertilizer is about
the same as it was in 1918.
The Islands" of both corn and cot
ton are said to be almost perfect
the best ever known in the county.
