DEATH OCCURS SOON
AFTER OPERATION
REMAINS OF GEO. S. CROWELL,
JR., BROUGHT TO DAWSON.
WAS HIGHLY ESTEEMED.

The entire community was grieved
when a telegram early Wednesday
morning brought news of the death
of George S. Crowell, Jr., which oc-
Cured at his home in Florence, S. c.,
Tuesday night at $50 o'clock. The
young man underwent an operation
for appendicitis Saturday at IL
o'clock. From the first his condition
was extremely critical, and he never
rallied sufficiently to give hope that
he would recover. Mr.. c. S. Crowell
went to Florence Friday to be with
his son through the ordeal of the OPP
Grafton and remained at his bedside
until the end, which was as peaceful
as the going to sleep of tired
child. The sick man fully realized
that he had only a short while to
live, and called necessarily for his
mother, who reached him just before
he breathed his last. Her name was
the last on his lips, as he said to
those about him, "I'll wait for
mother" and even down through the
valley of the Shadow" his hands
were clasped in those of the faithful
and devoted one who had never fail
ed him.
The deceased was born in 1900
and lacked a few months of reach
ing his majority He was married
in July, 1919, to Miss Barbara Com
mander, of Florence, S. c., who. with
an infant son, George S. III, survive
him. Born and reared in Dawson he
early in life took an active part in
Sunday School work and at ten
| der age united with the Methodist
church. Several years ago he To-
Gated in Florence S. c., working for
time with his brother, Mr.. John
Crowell and later engaging in farm
ing and the real estate business. In
his new home he made friends of all
with whom he came in contact, and
many are the expressions of gen.
uine sorrow that come to the be-
reaved family from those among
whom he lived. All speak in the
highest praise of his integrity and
his devotion to duty in the home in
the church and in business circles.
Before the last sad journey back
to Dawson a touching funeral SER
vice was held at the home of the
deceased in the presence of large
gathering. The music was rendered
by a male quartette from his Sun
day School class and many beauti
full flowers were laid upon his cas-
ket. The body, accompanied by a
number of relatives, reached Dawson
on the afternoon train Thursday,
the long funeral cortege going at
once to Cedar Hill Cemetery, where
short and impressive service was
conducted by Rev. T. H. Thompson,
at 4 o'clock.

COAL MARKET
TAKES SLUMP
Bottom Falls Out O.
High Prices in Penn
sylvania

UNIONTOWN, Pa, Aug. 20-The
bottom is falling out of the high
priced coal market at a rapid rate, if
the fast scaling down of prices dur
ing the last three days can be taken
as criterion. Unclassified coal which
sold as high as $13 on last Monday
went begging at $3.50 per ton. Bet
ter grades which reached $3.50 and
in some sales brought $14 was down
to $3.50.
Coal operators do not hesitate to
say that prices will go to lower lev
ell. An increase in the supply of
freight cars is the reason advanced
by operators, dealers and brokers for
lower priced fuel.
The coke market was very soft to-
day, large amounts of the best grades
of foundry coke going for SIS ton.
A week ago these grades were hard
to obtain at $40 a ton.
Cars continue to come into the
Connellsville region comprising West
moreland, Fayette and Somerset
counties in ever increasing numbers.

Negro From North Held
For kidnapping Daughter

Sheriff Johnson, of Stewart coun-
ty, and his son were in Americus
yesterday from Lumpkin and took
back with them Whit Bryant, colored
and his 14-year-old daughter, whom
he is accused of kidnapping and at
tempting to take back north with
him.
1t appears that some years ago, on
the death of the child's mother, she
was given to the custody of her moth
er's sister by court order. The father
has been in the north and few days
ago came back after the child. Hir-
ing a taxicab at Lumpkin, he drove
through the country to the Seaboard
station at Americus, arriving just in
time to take the 2:20 train for Sa-
vannah. Officer Lee was waiting for
them, however, and brought them to
the barracks where they were held
until the arrival of Sheriff Johnson.

NEVER MORE CRITICAL
SITUATION FACED

ATLANTA, Aug. 19-"There has
never been a more critical situation
facing the cotton growers than at the
present time" says a statement OF
the American Cotton Association in
announcing details of the semi-annual
meeting of the association which is
to be held at Montgomery, Ala, Sept.
1-3.
''The strength of the growers to
protect the value of their product
this season will be pitted against the
merciless speculator of adverse inter
ests who are moving with unlimited
capital and manipulative ingenuity
to destroy values" continues the as
sociation's staement. '"The agricultu-
raj. commercial and financial life OF
the whole South is at stake. The
loval and effective support of the
American Cotton association is the
one bulwark of safety through which
to make the fight. Individual effort or
scattered forces will be fatal to sue
cess We must rally under one great
banner and stand steadfast to wise,
nractical and conservative leader
ship"
The call for the Montgomery meet.
ing is specifically for a meeting OF
the national officials of the assocla-
tion. although all members of the as
sociation in the various statesa, IN
cluding the State Division, county and
parish officials, have been invited

The question of largely increased
acreage in small grain this fall and
in food and feed crops next spring
will also be acted upon, 1t is announc-
ed.
IA crisis appears imminent and
entire active cooperation of the South
is imnerative if reasonable values are
to be maintained and extreme tlnan-
cial depression prevented" saiys R.
W Mattox, president of the Georgia
Division of the cotton association, in
discussing the Forthcoming Montgom-
ery meeting. Large combinatlonshn
cotton trade have organized to break
the cotton market far below the cost
of production and again attempt to
enslave the cotton grower. Every
. man interested in the vital subjects to
] be handled at semi-annual conference
in Montgomery should attend the
meeting and participate in its deilb-
tions."
Captain W. R. Greene, secretary
of the Alabama Division of the Am
erican Cotton association, at Mont
gomery, is making hotel reservations
for officials and visitors who have no
titled him of their intention to at

that the attendance will be large.
Capt. Greene was in charge OF the
arrangements for the cotton conven-
ton at Montgomery in April which
proved great success. Agricultu'

been requested by several men who
have known him long time to en-
ter the race, and that he had not

consent to run, and offered the as
surance that his candidacy would be
popular.
