COTTON SEASON TO
BE BEST IN YEARS.
FIELDS ARE WHITENING AND
STAPLE is COMING IN. DAW-
SON RECEIPTS 81 BALES.

The cotton season, which is now
opening, promises to be one of the
busiest and best South Georgia has
seen in several years, according to
Dawson warehousemen.
The fields around Dawson are be-
ginning to whiten beneath the August
sun, and picking will become general
this week. The gins will be busy from
now on, and in the next few days the
season will be at a high point.
The News announced the arrival of
the first BALE grown by Paul Harris,
on the 9TH inst, and the second bale
was marketed at Sasser by ]. d. Brim
on August 18th. 1t weighed $40
pounds, was stored at Johnson & Mil
ler's warehouse and sold for 81 cents.
Since then Dawson has received 81
bales. Bronwood has received II bales,
Parrot 10 bales and Sasser As bales.
Good middling was quoted in Daw-
son this morning at rs cents.
The cotton crop in Terrell county is
said to be one of the best that has
been produced since the invasion of
the boil weevil Weather conditions
have been favorable, and weevil inva-
sion is very much less than it was
last year.
1t is believed that Terrell will pro-
duce around 10000 bales this year.

STEERING GEAR BREAKS
AND WRECKS DODGE CAR
One Negro Injured When Automobile
Turns Over Into 8-Foot Ditch.

One negro was hurt and several
others badly shaken up when an au-
tomoble turned over into an eight
foot ditch Sunday afternoon on the
Americas road, about 200 yards from
the scene of the Tilley-Riordan COLI
sion more than d year ago.
The Dodge car was driven by I. n.
Wall. an Americas negro, and the &C
cident occurred as the party was head
ed for home. 1t is stated that the car
was being driven at a fair rate OF
speed when the steering rod broke
and the automobile swerved into the
ditch, turning over on its side as 1t
fell. then slid along the bottom OF the
ditch for several yards and stopped
beneath a cross section of heavy tim
bers used to keep the road from wash
ing. The injured negro, who sustain
ed several cuts and bruises about the
face. was brought to town and given
medical attention.
1t is hardly probable that the au-
tomobile will be removed from the
ditch in one piece, due to the fact that
it cannot be dragged from beneath
the timbers which, if removed, Will
cause the road to cave in.

Condenser When Officer Interfered.

Sheriff E. T. Woods, accompanied
by his deputy, J. H. Shade, captured
a large still on the John Hill planta
ton in the eastern section OF the coun-

gallon thumper made of a gasoline
tank, copper coil through wooden
trough and eleven barrels OF mash.
About three quarts OF whisky was
found by the officers.
At the time of the discovery OF the
still it was in readiness to run at full

PALACE THEATER HAS PUT
IN NEW PICTURE MACHINES
Will Substitute Mazda Lamp for Elec-
trio Arc in Short While.


The patrons of the Palace theater
will be glad to learn that new ma
chimes have been installed in that
amusement house, and in the future
the pictures will be free of the streaks
and breaks which have married the
films of late.
Mr.. Byron Cooper, manager OF the
theater, has announced his intentions
of also replacing the carbon lamps
with the newest electric mazda lamps,
which will also add greatly to the Ell
feet of the picture due to the fact that
the occasional Pickering will be done
away with. Only few of the larger
theaters have changed from the cleo
trio arc to the mazda lamp but the
idea is fast growing popular with
moving picture managers on account
of its simplicity, brilliance, smooth
ness and clearness of the new light.
Mr.. Cooper came to Dawson seven
weeks ago. Under his management the
theater has constantly grown in pop
ularity.
