10000 BALE CROP IS
TERRELL'S PROSPECT
ALREADY 5,O44 BALES HAVE
BEEN RECEIVED BY WARE
HOUSES OF DAWSON.

Terrell county's cotton crop has
opened rapidly this year, and is be-
ing gathered as fast as farmers can
procure hands to pick it.
The Dawson warehouses have al
ready received 5,044 bales, of which
1920 were brought in the past week.
A conservative estimate is that
Terrell county will produce this year
10000 bales, which compares with
1900 bales from last years crop.
The acreage is somewhat larger than
it was last year.
The crop, too, has been an expen-
sive one. High prices paid for labor
throughout the growing season, COM
bined with the necessity of using
large quantities of calcium arsenate,
has made the 1920 cotton crop in
Terrell county cost farmers more
than any crop produced in recent
years.
Notwithstanding all precautions
taken weevils have wrought heavy
damage in Terrells cotton fields, and
practically everywhere the so-called
stop crop" is complete failure.
Farmers here, however, have not de-
pended this year entirely upon cot
ton as money crop.

THREE COTTON FIRES
in A FEW MINUTES
EACH TIME A BALE WAS FOUND
BURNING AT LOWREY AND
DAVIDSON'S WAREHOUSE.

At midnight Saturday the fire de-
partment was called to the warehouse
of Lowrey & Davidson three times
in less than two hours to extinguish
burning cotton.
At 1890 a bale in the street on
the east side of the warehouse and
at the rear of the Dawson Cafe was
discovered to be burning. The fire
was extinguished and the company
had scarcely returned to headquar-
tiers before another alarm was sent
in at / 40. This proved to be an
other bale burning near where the
first one was afire. The third call
was at 2:20 O'Clock to the same
warehouse. This time a bale of cot
ton on Lee street on the east side
of the warehouse was on fire. All of
the fires were soon put out and but
little damage was done.
The origin of the fires is shrouded
in mystery. There are those who are
inclined to the belief that the cotton
was set on fire by some thoughtless,
if not malicious, person for the pur-
pose of seeing the department run,
others think perhaps it was the work
of an incendiary, and some believe
cigarette smokers were the cause.

A HEAV LOSYS IN
CENTRAL RAILROAD WRECK
Freight Train Wiped Out by Flames.
Damage Is $4,000.

The Central of Georgia railway
track nine miles west of Columbus
was the scene of a spectacular $751;
900 wreck Monday when nine cars
of a 64-car freight train en- route
from Birmingham to Columbus left
the rails. The wreck was caused by
the wheel of a gasoline tank car
breaking, throwing the car of the
track.
Of the derailed cars six were pc
troleum oil, one hay and one ma
chinery. The gasoline, running from
the cars, caught on fire. Later the
escaping oil, which ran down a ravine
and spread over a field, ignited, and
early tonight was blazing brightly in
a spectacular way. The damage caus-
ed by the wreck is conservatively
estimated at $4,000. No one was
hurt.
