the deep blue dusk of the deeper jungle.

THE servant stood still, waiting. It was not

'If leave her she'll come again before

we may cross the creek and get view Of the

In utter silence they went on. One hundred
yards further they came to the creek, and
both strode in together to ford.

water, his hands and knees. He did not

truth to Warwick was the pain that dashed,
vivid lightning, across his dark face; and
the horror Of death that left its shadow. Son>-

then Warwick fred.

stand the terrible, rending shock of high

to the fire. AS it was, several inches of water

so weak, find themselves possessed of an anaz-

that their lives were the stakes for which they
fought, and they gave every ounce of strength

the mugger off until they could reach the

BAPTISTS OF GEORGIA
TO CONVENE TONIGHT
REV. S. F. LOWE LEAVES FOR
SAVANNAH TO REPRESENT
THE DAWSON CHURCH.

Rev. S. F. Lowe left last night for
Savannah to represent the Dawson
Baptist church at the state convention.
In 1922, when the Georgia Baptist
convention was organized at Powellton
church in Hancock county, there were
only two district associations rep
resented the Georgia and the Ocmul-
gee, and it is estimated that there were
not more than 1000 Baptists in the
state both white. and colored Today
there are 100000 Baptists in Georgia,
counting negro Baptists.
At the office of the state Baptist
headquarters it has been announced
that ffty-fve associations have re-
ported 10000 baptisms this year.
When the other forty associations
make their reports it is believed that
the number of baptisms will not be
less than 10000. Last year the total
number of baptisms reported was only
10000.
In this connection it is interesting
to know that Dr. Cree has sent out
to the various pastors cards announc-
ing that Georgia Baptists have gone
beyond the $1,000,000 allotment in the
So, 100000 drive.

week hear an application for the par

reported at the office of the prison
commission and was given commit
ment papers with Instructions OF re-
port to the warden at the state farm.
1t is claimed by those interested in
his behalf that evidence has since been
obtained that will show he is innocent
of the crime for which he was con-
victed

Jasper Countians Are
Pleased With Terrell
Were Here Investigating the Peanut
Crop. Cotton Was a Failure.

Terrell county had the privilege last
week of entertaining Messrs. Benton,
Mobley and several other prominent
business men of Monticello and lead
ing farmers OF Jasper county who
were here investigating peanuts as a
substitute for cotton. They were ac-
companied through the peanut section
by Mr. Ed Stevens, vice president and
manager of the Dawson Cotton Oil
Co, who introduced them to Terrell
county farmers who have had several
years of experience in the growing OF
peanuts and have learned the great adj
vantage of diversifying so that they
were prepaid to give valuable first
hand information. The party had Wis
tied the peanut sections OF Sumter
county, being piloted by Mr.. McMath,
of the Americas Cotton Oil Co., who
came as far as Dawson with them.
The visitors reported that as mon
ley crop cotton in Jasper county the
past year had been almost a failure,
and the farmers are forced by existing
circumstances to turn their attention to
the growing of such crops as promise
greater remuneration. 1t is not sur
prising that the visitors were greatly
pleased with Terrell county and the
advanced methods OF farming every
where in evidence in this highly IA
vored section.
1t has been suggested that Jasper
county is rather high up for the sue
cessful and profitable culture OF pea
nuts, but those here for the purpose
of looking into the situation express
ed determination to test out the mat
ter. They stated that many Jasper
county farmers had definitely decided
not to plant a hill of cotton the COM
ing season. Terrell county offers some
wonderful opportunities for investment
with rich promise that in farm pro-
duction not only peanuts but many
other crops in general Investigation
are prohtably grown. If conditions in
Jasper county prove unfavorable we
can suggest nothing better to the Jas
per farmers than to cast their lot with
the people OF Terrell and share the
Incompatible advantages OF our sol
and climate

DAWSON BANKER TELLS HOW
! LOCAL BUSINESS CAN BE
STIMULATED.

Zone of the most far reaching things
which the people of this community
can do by way OF stimulating local
business conditions, both for the bal
ance OF this year and throughout
1922" says Mr.. r. l.. Saville, presi-
dent of the Dawson National Bank,
would be to see that every possible
dollar is spent here at home during
the holiday season and throughout the
new year
This is not new subject, and we
Iare apt to become hardened to trade
at home appeals. But we should un-
derstand that the dollar which is spent
in local stores is in turn expended To-
cally, and indirectly that dollar in
some part returns again to the spend
er.
Our local merchants have bought
their holiday stocks carefully and Of
fer an excellent selection at reason
able prices. Ii there is something spe-
cial which a buyer desires, local deal
iers will gladly send away for such
things and have them forwarded
promptly
The big thing which every man
land woman should remember is that
we are all interested in making this
town a better town, in seeing it grow,
in promoting good business conditions
with friendly community spirit be-
hind our every endeavor.
