COTTON OUTLOOK IN
TERRELL COUNTY POOR

DAWSON, August 31.-The cot
ton outlook in Terrell county and
throughout this section is anything
but encouraging, and there is no
doubt that the crop will be one Of
the smallest ever produced here.
Since January first more rain
has fallen than was ever before
known, and the crop was planted
and cultivated with great excess
of moisture Now that harvest
time has come the rains continue.
1t rained all of the past week, and
farmers say rain is doing more
damage than boil weevils. They
report that the bolls are rotting
and, besides, picking has been re-
tarded and the staple damaged by
stain. Only a few bales, due to
bad weather, were brought to mar
ket the pats week, but with a few
days of sunshine the staple will
come to the Dawson warehouses
daily by the hundreds of bales.

CLAIM RELIGIOUS WORK
CHECKING IMMIGRATION

ATLANTA, Aug. 31.-Religi-
Gus activity among negroes in the
south by the Southern Baptists
convention is having a direct eff
feet in checking migration to the
north, according to reports re-
celyed by the home mission board.
These reports indicate, accord
ing to the board, that the interest
shown by the denomination in the
spiritual life of the negro is aid
ing materially in creating a feel
ing of mutual confidence between
the two races, thus tending to
check the movement toward the
north.
A commission has been formed
to establish a negro theological
seminary, which will be located in
Nashville, Tenn, and the institu-
ton will soon be in operation, ac-
cording to plans. The property
will be held and the institution
controlled Jointly by the Southern
Baptist convention and the nation
al convention of Colored Bap-
fists.

TO FIGHT CAMPAIGN
ALONG PARTY LINES
Declaration of Coolidge That He
VIII Garry Out Harding Poll
c,es Settles This

WASHINGTON, August 81. -
The change in the office of chief
executive does not change the fact
that the presidential campaigu in
1924 will be fought out on ques-
TONS of party policy.
One Of the first announcements
Of President Coolidge was that he
would carry out the policies of
President Harding, and he gave the
best evidence possible that he in
tends to do so by retaining the
full membership Of President Hard
ing's cabinet. President Coolidge
therefore should have full credit
for complete sincerity in making
this promise. The issue of 1924,
in view Of this promise, remain I'M
changed, however they may be sup
plemented by issues raised by the
new president.
what will be the issues in
1922" is a question often asked.
The most specific and comprehen-
sive answer so far has been made
by Cordell Hull, chairman of the
Democratic national committee.
Chairman Hull says:
"All the live and material issues
Of 1924 cannot now be forecasted,
either in general or in detail, both
on account of changing conditions
and Of the ability of the party in
power to make and unmake some
issues by acts Of omission and com.

sues materially affecting the vel
fare Of the people, or of most oil
them, should be kept abreast OF
each other. The next Democratic
national convention alone can de
fine the issues for Democrats. From
present-day opinion and discussion
however, the following may be
pointed to as some of the more
important issues Of the present anl
the immediate future, without ref
creme to the order Of their impor
lance: ~
The demonstrated failure of the
Republican administration, domi
mated by the Old Guard at all times

"The broken Republican plat

of living and to prosecute the prof

"The Fordney -McCumber tariff

billion dollars a year in excessive
and extortionate prices.

other aggravated forms, as prompt
