THIRD COOP POULTRY
SALE SCHEDULED SOON

DAWSON, August 31-The third
cooperative chicken sale at Daw-
son will be held soon after the
first of September.
1t is the intention Of those in
charge to make this the largest and
most profitable of any sale that
has yet been held. For this rea-
son everyone who intends bring
ing chickens is urged to communi-
cate with R. D. Smith or H. A. Pet
ty at once relative to the number
they will have to offer for sale.
If this is done it will be much
easier to decide upon a definite
date for the sale, and also to ar
range to have marketing bureau
experts here on the appointed date.
Cooperative sales for chickens in
the past have proven very popular,
and also profitable to those who
have disposed of fowls. This meth
cd Of selling entirely eliminates a
house to house canvass, and since
the chickens are weighed and grad
ed more money is realized than
through any other way Of putting
them on the market.

Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, mas

"As the matter has conGln-
ued to be discussed here it has
developed that Gov. Walker
failed to reappoint Col. Benz
net as a member Of the board
of trustees of the University Of
Georgia, which has not had a
tendency to cement the ties be-
tween the two men. Col BEN
nett is reported to have opposed
the Governor in the last race.
1t has also become known here
that some of Governor Walkers
closest personal friend in and
around VaIdosta urged the re-
appointment of Col. Bennett de-
spite the fact that he did not
support the Governor"

THEIR AID OR ADVICE
NOT DESIRED.

A few days ago prominent
Britisher so far forgot himself as
to fling criticisms at former Pres
ident Wilson. Members of the
American Bar association i'm
mediately sought 20 have cancelled
an invitation to SAID Bririsher 20
speak before the bar association.
Last week member of the
British parliament broadcast to the
world that he had several thou
sand cases of "gogod Scotch wis
key" for shipment to America and
guarantee a big stiff profit Tor
those who entered the boodegging

Still another Englishman in

How soon they forget. Only a
few short months ago we were
keeping the Hun out Of their back
yards; our treasury vaults were
flung wide to them; they were
receiving preference at the door
Of our food storage warehouses.
The sooner the British states
men realize that hands are full at
home, the sooner the great unem-
ployment problem will be solved
for Britain. Their laboring popula-
ton is starving, discomfort is rife
everywhere and still they dabble in
questions which are Of no moment

AT THE DANGER POINT

The danger point of the sea-
son from the standpoint Of mos
quito raising IS right here.
Il IS the time or year they
raise the most rapidly.
Il Is the kind OF weather that
the mosquito likes. Just a little
standing sragnant water will
soon become q hatchery for
mosquitoes. Do not think YOU
can escape if there is no old
well about you. Just one bot
tie of water or one can of wa
ter viii raise enough to worry
you through the remainder of
the summer.
Again, we ;urge that you take
round of the premises once a
week and see to it that no wa
ter is standing. Take no chances.
After YOU get mosquitoes it is
difficult for you to get rid of
them,-Moultrie Observer.

SOUTH GEORGIA
CANDIDATET?

Political gossip originating on
what is said to be good authority
has it that Colonel John w. Benz
nett, of Waycross, is being urged
to enter the race for governor "as
a South Georgia candidate" A
Valdosta correspondent states:
"A very quiet visit of Col.
John w. Bennett, of Waycross,
until recently United States
district attorney for Southern
Georgia, has started rumors Of
his probable candidacy for gov
ernor next year.
Recently it has been appar-
ent, following the close of the
legislature, that political ele-
ments had already determined,
that Gov. Walker should not
get a second term without a
fight.
"This leads to the belief in
political circles here that Col.
