TRIBUTE T0LEE
PAID BY HARRISON
Senator Tells Virginians Peo-
Pile of Nation Owe State
Debt of Gratitude.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


RICHMOND, Va, January 20
Tribute to the life and character of
Gen. Robert L. Lee was paid by Sena-
tor Pat Harrison of Mississippi at a
meeting here last night under the
auspices of the Daughters and Sons
OF the Confederacy, for the observ-
ance OF the birthday of Gen. Lee. SEN
ator Harrison said, in part:
What a debt OF gratitude doeB
America and the world owe to Nir-
ginia- 1t was your State that gave to
America the father OF this country;
gave to the Democratic party its
founder; that gave to the Southern
cause its greatest military genius,
and in more recent years gave to suf-
fering humanity and a war-torn world
that meteor of hope, that apostle of
peace, that angel of good will, that
designer of world conciliation and ad-
justment-Woodrow Wilson.
"In every war-from '76 to '1s-ths
intrepid warriors OF Virginia have been
the first into and the last out Of battle.
Her leaders have spurred the soldiers Of
America upon 10000 battlefelds. Never
once have they faltered in action. weak
ened IN spirit or deserted in danger. In
a State SO rich in history and so re-
pIete with distinguished names. the rec
ord of any one of whom might well de-
serve at the hands Of Virginia an al
lotment Of a legal holiday TO commerno-
rate his services. it makes the tribute to
Lee more memorable and more deserved
in the designation and observance Of
this legal holiday.
What a character, What emotions
do the services Of this great soldier and
unsulIied citizen stir in the human
breast What high lessons does his
eyentful life teach to the children of
today! Few men who have attained
the heights of success to which he had
climbed appreciated more than he the
dominating qualities upon which tha.
success was builded."

THIRTY-SIX BOYS
JOIN COTTON CLUB
H. A. PETTY WILL FURNISH
MEMBERS WITH SEED TO
PLANT ONE ACRE EACH.

Mr.. H. A. Petty, who advertised
for Is boys between the ages Of II
and 10 years to join cotton club
which he was sponsoring, was greeted
by SO boys at the court house Satur-
day morning.
Mr.. Petty, who has made a careful
study and selection of cotton seed the
past ten years, will give each of the
boys three pecks of his fine seed with
which to plant one acre of cotton.
Should the boys desire it Mr.. Petty
will assist them in the purchase of fer
ti1izer and poison.
The club members will be required
to keep an accurate record OF money
spent on hteir acre of ground, and
must poison and fertilize according to
directions. To arouse greater interest
on the part of the boys Mr.. Petty Of
fers a cash prize of $40 to the one
making the most cotton on his acre
at the least expense. Prizes of $50
and $500 will be given for the sec
ond and third best yields.
1t is believed by Mr.. Petty that the
boys, with careful attention, can make
one bale per acre, and that the seed
will pay the entire expense OF cultlva-
ton, leaving the growers bale of cot
ton each for their work. He offers to
gin the cotton free and buy the seed
at $3.50 per bushel.
1t is a good opportunity for the
farmers of the future to learn the best
methods of growing cotton from a
practical standpoint, and also it will
mean real money to the boys while
learning.
Should the cotton club prove to be
a success Mr.. Petty proposes to then
organize a pig club.

FERTILIZER MANUFACTURE
TO BEGIN AT EARLY DATE
Dawson Cotton Oil Company Will
Open Plant in February.

The fertilizer plant of the Dawson
Cotton Oil Company will begin oper-
ations about the first of February with
the prospect on manufacturing more
g1ano this year than ever before in
its history. The local plant led all
other independent concerns of its kind
in south Georgia in output the past
year, and Judging from present or
ders, which are i'll excess of those on
file at the same date year ago, bids
fair to surpass its last seasons ton

The Dawson Cotton Oil Company
sells its fertilizers on strictly cash
basis, and serves a large trade in this

bers OF the company base the ,popu
larity OF their product on the alb

RESOLUTIONS BY
DAWSON w. C. T. U.
CALLS UPON ALL TO BOTH
OBEY AND ENFORCE LAW,
AND NOT RIDICULE 1T.

The following resolutions regarding
law enforcement, prompted by the
tragic murder of north Georgia wo-
man, have been adopted by the Daw-
son chapter of the W. c. T. u:
Whereas, we read with horror and
indignation of the act of Georgia boot
leggers in shooting down Mrs. Robert
Stewart of Draketown, as she at
tempted to help her husband to escape
from their clutches; and
Whereas, we realize that Rev. Rob
ert Stewards life was jeopardized and
his wife murdered because these peo-
pie were indignant that the mountain
preacher should interest himself in
law enforcement and interfere with
their Wanted personal privileges"
and
Whereas, we learn from observa-
ton that the violation OF the 18th
amendment is causing heart aches and
bloodshed, and that fines are too east
" paid; and, whereas many promi-
nent citizens and so-called Christians
scout the law and boast of their boot
logger friends; therefore, we resolve:
First, that since the 18th amend
ment is as much law as the first ar
ticle OF the constitution, we urge
all citizens, even those of Dawson and
Terrell county, not only to see that
the law is enforced, but to obey it.
Second, that all people who consid-
er themselves law abiding citizens
cease to ridicule the amendment, but
think seriously of the sorrow and
damnation caused by its violation and
condemn even the lightest infringe
ment of this law.
Third, that we, the women of Daw-
son Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, urge every right thinking wo-
man to preach, teach and pray against
the illicit traffic, and that you remem-
Der, sisters and friends, when you use
liquor in any form you are encourag-
ing Bookkeeping and making probable
another Draketown tragedy.

MULE TRAFFIC IS BRISK
AT THE DAWSON STABLES
Large Number of Terrell Farmers
Adding to Their Stock.

Traffic in mules has been very live
ly in Dawson the past two weeks.
Mr. J E. Cushenberry, local mule
dealer, has received and sold a carload
of the animals each week for three
weeks, and believes that business
will continue good several weeks long
err. Second hand mules are also being
bought, and only few old mules
which were traded in for younger
ones are now in the stables
The mules shipped here from Ken
lucky and Tennessee are all strong
and healthy animals, and are about as
fine a lot as has been seen in Daw-
son in several years.
Practically all of the farmers are
trading old mules for young ones, or
as least are getting few new animals,
and spring of hard work is expected
to yield splendid crops in the summer
and fall.
