AUTO HITS BUGGY;
THREE ARE INJURED
ACCIDENT OCCURRED MON
DAY NIGHT ON DAWSON
SHELLMAN HIGHWAY.

Three young Dawson boys were
hurt, an automobile practically de-
molished and negro's buggy placed
in state beyond repair when the
Ford in which the boys were travel
ing struck the rear of the negro's
buggy on Monday night about 7:30
o'clock
The accident occurred about a mile
west of Graves Station on the Daw-
son-Shellman road. From all reports
it seems that the boys had just pass
ed another car, and the dust being so
thick failed to see the negro who was
driving in the same direction as the
Ford.
The auto crashed squarely into the
rear of the buggy despite the efforts
of the youthful driver to avoid it.
From the force of the impact and the
angle OF the wheels which were turn
ed in an effort to avoid the collision.
The car turned over several times.
Will Tweedy suffered badly frac-
tured wrist, Buster Lockett was Sc
verely lacerated about the face and
upper arm, and Jack Jones, the other
occupant of the car, sustained a deep
cut on his knee. The negro, George
Grille, was unhurt, except for few
bruises about his shoulders.

Committee TO Advertise
Luncheon of the Organization Was
Of Unusual Interest

The Kiwanis club, at their regular
semi-monthly luncheon at the Wo;
mans club house on Thursday took
number of important steps to help
the farmers of the county.
A committee composed OF E. w.
Hollingsworth, ]. A. Shields and A.
L. McLendon was appointed to go
before the county commissioners and
take up with them the matter of hir-
ing a county agent to aid the farmers

THIRD CHICKEN SALE
TO BE HELD SOON
DATE WILL BE ANNOUNCED
IN NEXT FEW DAYS. FOR
MER SALES BIG SUCCESS.

The third cooperative chicken sale
will be held in Dawson within the
next two weeks Messrs. r. D. Smith
and H. A. Petty, who promoted the
two first sales, have written the state
bureau of markets for date, and just
as soon as a reply is received the ex-
act time will be announced
Approximately $500 was realized
from the first two sales, and this is
outside capital being brought into
Terrell county. Prices were good and
cash was paid for the fowls after they
had been weighed and graded by ex-
perts, who were present at each sale.
At this time of the year, when mon
ey is extraordinarily hard to get and
chickens seem to be plentiful, requests
for another sale have been received
from all over this section, and a sale
at this time will enable those who
have poultry to realize ready money
without going to the added trouble
and expense of selling them from
house to house.
All that is necessary is to bring
your chickens to the car the day OF
the sale and receive the money for
them. II is a good idea, however, to
inform either Mr.. Smith or Mr.. Petty
just how many you expect to bring,
so an estimate can be made.
The cooperative marketing OF ,poul-
try has been going on in Georgia for
fourteen months, and in that time
the prices received have been won
derful stimulus to poultry raising.
Georgia is large state but has few
CONSUMING centers, thereby keeping
prices OF poultry down for years, but
now with the added advantage OF
shipping in carload lots through CO.
operative sales the prices received are
much larger and have made poultry
raising a real profit producing indus
try.
1t is understood that 10000 capac-
ity egg hatchery has been offered to
Dawson if the proper inducements
can be furnished, and no doubt this
will become a reality in very short
time.

Grunt Lucas Hurls No
Hit Game Until Ninth
However, Locals Lose to Albany in
Fast Game to 0.

Albany trounced Dawson here on
Monday afternoon 4 to 0 in Cruel
ling pitchers duel in which Grunt
Lucas, for Dawson, was decidedly the
better hurler than Hicks, the Albany
moundsman.
Until the ninth chapter the Albany
players had been unable to nick Lu-
cas- delivery for a single safety, al
though they had tailed once on err
rors. In the last session they got two
blows which, coupled with more er-
Irors, gave. the visitors three more tai
lies.
The Dawson team garnered but
four hits off the delivery OF Hicks
and were shut out completely.
Grunt Lucas, pitching like he has
in every game he has worked in a
Dawson uniform, deserved a victory.
He is the kind of ball player that
gladdens any fans heart; out there all
the time, putting everything on e,v-
cry ball he throws, even though he
realizes the futility at times OF such
an effort The two teams play here
again Wednesday.

A MILLION DOLLARS FROM
TOBACCO CROP THIS YEAR
Former Dawsonian Says Weed" Is
Bringing Prosperity to Lowndes.

MIR. c. H. Wilkerson, formerly of
Terrell but now of Lowndes county,
was a caller at The News office Sat
urday, and in telling of conditions in
his section said the tobacco crop will
bring the growers in the vicinity OF
Valdosta $1,000,000 this season. The
crop is good and the first tobacco OF
the season was put on the market
Thursday, 100000 pounds being offer
ed. Buyers from distance were pres
ent, and the Bidding was lively. Mr..
Wilkerson said many growers will
realize at least $3.50 an acre from their
tobacco this season.
The cultivation of cotton has been
practically abandoned in Lowndes
county, and the farmers have turned
their attention to tobacco, potatoes,
truck, etc, which they are more pros
porous than when they grew nothing
but cotton.

Benefit Games Will Be
Played Here Thursday
Girls Will Sell Tickets to Help Swell
Finances of Local Team.

Thursday afternoon, when Blakely
and Dawson will tie up in a fast dou-
bic header, the officers of the local
association plan to have benefit day
at the ball park
Girls have been pressed into service
to sell tickets throughout the county,
and it is hoped that on that day every
fan in this section will turn out to
see the two teams play.
Blakely has a team that has been
considerably strengthened by the adj
dition of several former league stars
and Dawson will be forced to exert
themselves to the limit in order to
defeat the fast-fying hardwood bunch
of ball tossers.
These two games will be worth
coming miles to see and it will be well
for every person who wishes to see
the best games of the year to plan to
be in Dawson that day.

A Small Decrease in
County Tax Values
Loss Is Principally in Cotton and Re-
turns of Negroes in Town District.

The total tax returns of real and
personal property in Terrell county
this year as compiled by Tax Recceiv-
er Baldwin is $4,350,810, which is a
decrease of $4,000 from 1922 valua-
tons.
The decrease is mainly in cotton
returned for taxation, as there are ap-
proximately 1000 bales less this year
than last. Besides, decided decrease
is shown in negro returns for the
town district, although the Dawson
district is the only one in the county
which shows an increase in tax val

Honorinu Dick Whittinaton

Ceremonial! honOrs were pTfti last
week In London TO the memory of
one Of Londons greatest heroes-the
renowned Dick Wilmington, who died
500 years ago.
Historical research long ago shat
tered belief In the famous nursery
story built around the career Of one
OF the most famous Of London's lord
mayors. Far from being a poorly.
born boy who won his way in the
world with the help OF his traditional
cat Wilmington was the heir to his
fathers title and estates and so far
as is known never possessed a cat.
However. Sit Richard Wilmington
was an exceedingly shrewd citizen of
considerable influence. He anhassed
enormous wealth and acted a. money
lender to three kings Of England.
1t IL noteworthy that the cat legend
connected with Wilmington Is COM
mon to the folklore of many coun-
tries, but how the famous lord mayor
came to have been chosen the hero OF
this legend In England is unknown.
Research has shown that 1t was
never associated with him until
nearls 20esyears after his DEATH.
f. Whittington's memery IL treasured
because during his lifetime he was
influential in building up London's
fortune and tame az well as his own.

Snow Flows at Work
on A. & X. Electric
Lines Thursday -.

To people along the lines of the
Androscoggin and Kennebec railway
Thursday, it seemed that the rail-
road officials were rushing the
season" slightly. Although the wind
is blowing coldly from the north and
brings tidings of snow but short
way off. it did not seem that it was
necessary to start the snow plows
on their winters work, but this was
done.
When questioned as to the mean
ing of this procedure, superinten-
dent Bowie explained that the plows
can do as much good right now as
they can at any time in the winter.
The secret of this is that during the
summer with the track work that
has been going on, the dirt in many
places between and near the tracks
Is higher than 1t should be to allow
the pillow to clean the track properly
in the winter. If this dirt is allowed
to freeze It will cause the point OF
the pillow to ride" and enough snow
will be left between the tracks to
bother traffic For this reason the
plows are sent through to level this
earth off. 1t Is often necessary to
do this several times in order that
the dirt which sometimes lifts as IL
freezes. may be leveled properly.

AS general rule. every person
should drink at least siS glasses OF
water every day, preferably one up

glasses would do even better work.
excessive water drinking has no

measure and should be avoided, es-
pecially where heart or kidney
troubles exist. (By excessive rs
meant twice or three times the nor.

necessary to limit any one to six
glasses. A healthy thirst induced by
exercise can safely be slaked at any
