TO DECLARE WAR ON
COTTON SPECTATORS
TERRELL COUNTY REPRESENT.
ED AT BIG MEETING TODAY
TO MAP OUT CAMPAIGN.

War to the death between cotton
producers and cotton spectators is
being declared today at a monster
mass meeting in Macon of Georgia
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and others. DR.. H. A. Cook, of Par
rott, was appointed by Governor
Dorsey to attend from Terrell coun-
ty. Hon. J. D. Weaver, vice presi-
dent of the Farmers Union of Geor-
gia, and perhaps others have gone
from here.
Three cardinal points or moves in
the war will be given emphasis:
First, continued holding of spot
cotton now in the hands of farm
ers, merchants, bankers and others,
pending such time as the textile man.
ufacturers are willing to pay price
covering the cost of production, plus
a reasonable profit.
Second, reduction of cotton acre
age throughout the state by at least
Is per cent, if not more, and plant
ing of food and forage crops in
the acreage thus released.
Third, launching a demand for
legislation by congress to prohibit
speculative short selling and to COM
pei the delivery of the grades speci-
fed in future contracts.
Intensive efforts were put forth by
the commissioner of agriculture, J.
J. Brown, and by the state market
bureau, of which L. B. Jackson is
director, to secure a large and rep
resentative attendance at the meet
ing, and these efforts have been re-
markably successful, owing to the
high degree of public interest in the
cotton situation throughout the south.
That the cotton holding movement
will be continued with bulldog de-
termination by the farmers, mer-
chants, bankers and others who are
holding cotton is the information re-
ceived by Commissioner Brown from
every section of the state. The banks,
he says, are backing the farmers to
the limit in holding their cotton.
In order to secure a statewide re-
duction of cotton acreage it is the
plan of the Macon conference to
launch an active ana aggressive or-1
ganization in every county and mill
tia district in the state.

METHODIST DRIVE
WILL BEGIN APR. Il
THIS DISTRICT WILL BE EXPECT
ED TO RAISE S1S4,S 500 OF A 35
MILLION DOLLAR FUND

The outstanding feature of the dis
cussiOns of the missionary institute
and preachers meeting of this ditrict,
recently held in Dawson, was the
Centenary Movement of the Southern
Methodist Church, and an earnest eff
fort was made to get every detail
clearly before the men who are to
lead the church in this enterprise.
Rev. 0. B. Chester, presiding elder of
the district, presided, and Rev. J. E.
Summer, of Parrot, was chosen secre-
tary.
The allotment to the district, by
vote of the institute, was accepted, as
was the Sunday School apportionment.
The schools will undertake to raise
$4,000 year for five years as a Cen
tenary offering. The allotment of the
Americas district for the full period
of the campaign amounts to 1884,
10000. 1t was also decided to hold
five or six group meetings at stragetic
points within the district for the pur-
pose of instructing the people and set
ting forth the claims of the Centen-
airy. These points will be named la
ter by the presiding elder.
An intensive drive for the district
allotment will be made from April 27
to May 4, and the hope of the COM
mittee to be appointed for this task
is to secure at that time subscriptions
covering the entire amount In the
meantime in every charge in the dis
trict an educational and inspirational
campaign will be waged by the pas
tors and interested laymen.
The Centenary Movement, while a
missionary enterprise, can be called
missionary only in the sense that the
whole scope of church work is mis-
sionary. ::
The Centenary Movement is a cam
paign by the Southern Methodist
Church to raise in the next five years
$35,000,000, including the regular mis-
sionary income.
This sum is to cover a wide range
of interests. The objects and the
amounts asked for are as follows:
Present income for five years, $10;-
100000. Foreign missions $7,870,O00.
Home and conference missions $780,
900. Church extension, $2,14O,O0O
Woamn's foreign missionary work
100000. Woman's home mission
work $1,290,000. War work fund
$5,350,000.

LAXCARIN is a vital necessity for
those who suffer from these diseases,
because it is a preparation that will
help Mother Nature to perform its
duties, because it will clean the in
testlnal tracts, eliminate the malig-
nant poisons and thereby prevent
blood poisoning.
You cannot possibly live-and live
long-if your bowels do not perform
their natural functions. One of the
greatest curses which have been cast
upon the human being is constipation
Whether constipation is the result of
neglect during childhood, or whether
it is hereditary-it must be remedied,
The sooner the better Constipation
must be done away with all price.
Lucky is the man who has never
felt the i'll effects of irregular bowel
movement. He does not know what
it is to wake up in the morning with
the same tired feeling felt before GO
ing to bed the night before. Head
ache early in the morning does not
bother him. He does not feel that
terrible feeling which is caused by
coated tongue His appetite is such
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1919-02-04

1t does not matter what kind of work
he is doinging. No energy-not an
ounce of ambition.
Why do you suffer? Is it worth
while? The LAXCARIN PRODUCTS
co. is placing on the. market a prep
aration which is guaranteed to move
your bowels. Why not take a chance?
Even if you have taken a chance be-
fore. If you suffer daily backaches,
sick headaches, dizzy spells and an
noying stomach and bowel Irregular
ties you naturally seek a remedy
that will give freedom from these
discomforts-a remedy that is what
it is claimed to be.
Act today. And be another man
tomorrow. Your health should be
your very first consideration. Money
is nothing. Send one dollar today
and receive by return mail box of
LAXCARIN. Then tell your friends
about the change which has taken
place in your life.
LAACARIN is a pure PREPARATION.
1t will not hurt even the baby. 1t
may be used with absolute confidence
by old people. 1t is good for middle
aged folks. Trial will convince you.

that he can eat whole calf early in
the morning. His ambition is bound
less-and work appeals to him. He is
full of life-energy-of a desire to
live.
But what about the man or woman
who is afflicted with constipation or
stomach trouble? Life is not worth a
two-cent niece to those 1t is the same
continuous drudgery-the monotony
Of the everyday suffering. AS if a
great stone would be tied to their
back, which must be borne along con-
tinually. From early morning to late
at bed time. Nothing but a desire to
end that wretched existence.
Take for instance the man who is
suffering from indigestion and irreg-
ular bowel movement. He does not
spring out of bed as vigorously as
the man who is healthy. He has a
tired feeling early in the morning.
He has a headache. His tongue is
coated. He has a disgusting taste in
his mouth. No desire to start the
day--or to live through it. He
barely touches breakfast. Work is
not work to hint is drudgery.

CARS FOR wheat
INTO OKLAHOMA
BY THOUSANDS
Plenty Of Equipment to Care
for Crop, Experts Say,

Thousands OF cars for the transpor-
tatlon OF the wheat crop have been ac-
cumula,ed IN Oklahoma, according TO
traffic experts and railroad officials
Every available sidetraok and spur in
the wheat belt III northern part OF the
state is crowded with cars waiting 10
be filled with Oklahomas greatest
wheat harvest
Cars have been going through this
city on their way 10 the distribution
cen,erS almost continually for the last
six weeks Since that time the send
ing OF the emp,ies to the proper cen
tiers has been going on steadily and
is now practically completed.
1t is though, that the supply .!
emp'ies will be entirely sufficient ia
handle the crop, provided the cars are
sent back TO the starting place after
their first trip. II. c. McCord, man
ager OF the Oklahoma Traffic asso.
cia,ion, said ,hi, morning tina, all IN,
rolling stock available had been con.
cen,rated for the wheat shipments ant
that he believed it would be sufficient
to handle the crop unless some IN
