Producers and Parasites.
Our Autumn Leaves.
Valdosta Times. Augusta Herald.
The world may pretty much be ] This is the season of the year

Richmond News. Every man who welcome service to the household
follows h legitimate calling, wh&
makes or brings into being good
and useful things, who furnishes the
necessities of life, supplies commod
ities or renders service to the citizen
or the community, is a producer.
The agriculturist reclaims the soil
from weeds or overgrowth or marsh,
makeB it fertile, sows seed or plants,
fruit-bearing shrubs or trees, is
counted among the first of produc
ers, although he creates nothing,
only utilizes and turns to the ac
count of his fellow-beings the gifts
and processes of nature.
The manufacturer or the farmer
by his intelligence and industry
makeB up the raw material into
shapes and forms that supply the
wants of the human family and con
tributes to the welfare and happi
ness of the human family.. He has
produced beneficial results. And
the merchant who finds good things
where they are abundant and wast
ing, aud transports to where they
are soarce and wanting, is a pro
ducer.
One who brings forth, who pro
duces valuable and desirable things
in the place where they are wanted
is a producer, whether he produces
them out of the air, out of i'aw ma
terials or from a foreign land. And
just so, when a merohant who (like
Joseph in Egypt) stores up things
when they are abundant and cheap
and brings them forth for use when
they are scarce, is a producer. The
transporter and storer are alike pub
lic servants.
In the same way all persons in le
gitimate business, retailers as well
as wholesalers, masters, clerks, por
ters, commission merchants, dealers
in material or immaterial things,
publio officers and common laborers,
are all producers as they help to
supply neoeBsjjbies and provide for
wantB, as they promote comfort, re
lieve suffering, guard against dan
ger and help the special or general
good—all are producers. The doc
tor produces health and soundness;
the lawyer establishes right and de
fends justice and helps to make
quiet and nssuranoe and satisfactory
dealings; the professor and teacher
and student discover and diffuse
light and truth, and, above all, the
ministers of God, as they radiate,
reflect or distribute divine truth.
From the humblest workman that
makes a horseshoe or trims a post,
to the philosopher or historian that
enlarges the soul of man, all work
ingmen in legitimate business are
producers. And all these make the
busy beeB and worthy citizens. They
are all members one of another,
making up the full body of oivilized
society, and the produotB of a 1
make up the* commonwealth.
The drones of society are of an
other sort. They produce nothing..
They only consume. They live up-
m others, and their industry is only
reap what others have sown.
t)
They are camp followers, to gather
from the battlefield, to rob the
weak, to filch from the unwary, to
live by their wits and accumulate
what others produce. Their for
tunes are wealth gotton by variety.
Their money is soulless, and can
buy nothing for. its proprietors,, be-

than to garner the richest store of
the sweetest flowers of spring.
Earlier in the year, much of the
brightness of the outside world
creeps into the house almost una
ware, and the adorning of the rooms
with flowers means only the addi
tion of one or more superatively ra
diant pigments to a palate already
aglow^vith color.
But in" the autumu it is quite differ
ent. Shortly after October makes
its bow to the world the days begin
togrow gray ossasionally.an deven on
the clearest days the sun is a little
less impressivedn its brightness than
in May and June, and so all the col
ors without the walls that can be
brought within to help paint in
fresher tints the letters spelling the
magic words of home should be
carefully gathered aud preserved.
First in the range of ohoioe oomes
the goldenrod, for it is like the con
centrated essence of sunshine. Then
follow branches of our own Georgia
pine, fresh and spioy with the mar
velously healing fragrance of the
southern woods. There are sweet
grasses also, but offering the great
est color contrasts of all are the au
tumn leaves. Here is a fairy tale of
their annual metamorphosis as told
by the scientists.
A leaf is composed of a great
number of cells, the walls of whioh
are brown. In the spring and sum
mer these oells are all filled with
fluid, colored with minute grains of
red, yellow and other pigments,
which, when mixed together, appear
green. In the autumn, through the
eold, oxidation and other changes
take place in the leaf-oells, destroy
ing more or less rapidly certain of
the eolor elements. As soon as one
of these elements is gone the leaf no
longer appears a normal green, but
assumes the shade of the remainder
of the color-elements mixed togeth
er. When only the red element <
left the leaf is red; when the yell p
alone remains the leaf is yellow, n ’
when all the coloring matter .. ..
gone the leaf is brown.
But what care we how the work
is accomplished by Jack Frost and
kindred artists? It is enough that
the leaves are here, and that at our
will, through their beneficent magie,
we may transform the dullest room
into a glorious arbor as varied in
harmonious colors as any frost-kiss
ed glade of a forest alive with rust
ling, fluttering, flying autumn leaves.
Warns His Party Too Late.
Mr. Eugene N. Foss, republican
candidate for congress in a Massa
chusetts district, is a manufacturer
who sees that the Dingley tariff is
too unjust to be maintained and
who is not afraid to speak his mihd
in opposition to the machine leaders
of his party. .
“I tell you,* said Mr. Foss iu a
recent speech at Jamaica Plain, “if
we republicans do not take the mat
ter in hand and adjust our tariff to
prevent inequalities and abuses, we
shall not have the opportunity. The
people will take the chance from us
and give it to a free-trader, as they
did when Cleveland was elected.”
While there is no remotest dan
ger of the people turning to abso
lute free trade in their oppositisn to
the maintenance of the Dingley tar
iff, there, is a reasonable certainty
that they will place in power the
democratic party, a party which
stands for tariff reform on the basis
6f a tariff for revenue only.
Mr Foss is right in declaring that
the people will take the chance of
tariff revision from the republican
party. That party has now definite
ly refused to even consider the ad
visability of revising the tariff. It
has announced that it proposes to
hold the Dingley schedules invio
late. Mr. Foss-issues his warning
too late to be of benefit to his party.

Poultry Raising a Good Helper.
Southern Poultry Conrier.
There has never been a time in
1 the history of Georgia and the south j
in general when the outlook was so
: promising for poultry raisers. Per-
1 sonally we have never known mar-
j ket poultry to command the prices
■ thaf have prevailed in this section
throughout the spring and summer,
and these prices have influenced
many of our farmers to sell as broil
ers the pullets that should have been
kept for egg-basket and incubator
purposes. In consequence, eggs will
be unusually scarce arid high-priced
this fall, while the demand for them
will be greater than ever before.
The incubator fever has assumed
almost epidemic form, and many
thousands of good fresh aggs will
be required for this purpose alone.
The entire country seems to have
awakened to the importance of this
industry; and why not? This is a
grand business; and is open alike to
all classes of people—in every walk
of life, and in every section of the
country.
The business man whose office du
ties do not require his services eith
er very late or .very early can find
healthful exercise (and plenty of it)
andjmtold enjoyment in the eare of
a few fowls.
The growing boys enjoy these
feathered friends, and if entrusted
with their care are often won from
loafing, careless habits, to those of
industry and thrift.
While the woman thrown upon
her own resources can find in this
field a work worthy of her, and to
whioh she can devote time and tal
ent and be reasonably sure that pa-
tienoe aud perseverance will be re
warded.
Drive It Home.
Some men think by making a
great stir for a little time they gain
a permanent advantage. This is far
from the truth. How quickly a
thing is forgotten if it is net con
tinuously advertisedl It is said the
triHic have bad memories, but per-
.. vs they crowd too much into
l- n. One event usurps another in
..^rtancc, and the panorama of
daily incidents diverts the mind
from ceaseless concentration on one
particular thing. Day by day the
happepings increase in number and
importance, and the publio mind is
ever being conducted to a new
ehannel of thought and considera
tion. The necessity for continuous
advertising was never more pro
nounced than at the present time.
A passing flash causes but a mo
ment's reflection. Permanet drive-
it-home advertising makes an im
pression that lasts.—The Travelling
Partner.
The Rev. Dr. Ohas. H. Parkhuret
has just returned to New York from
a vaoation in Europe. Talking to a
newspaper reporter on the day of
his arrival on the subject) of trusts,
Dr. Pnfkhurst said: “If the oppres
sion of the masses continues the day
is bound to come when the people
will resort to desperate means. They
will go back to the old, crude meth
od of demanding their rights. I
mean revolution.” Dr. Parkhurst
had been on the ocean for a week
and had evidently not seen the re
ported interview of Gov. Candler of
Georgia on the trust question. To
the Georgian is due the credit of
first serving notioe to the trusts and
the republican party that revolution
and bloodshed, might be look.ed for
if the trusts continued to oppress
the people. 1 —Savannah News.

A childless home is a cheerless
home. The maternal instinct exists
in every woman, and when it is un
gratified she is deprived of much of,
the happiness of life. It often hap
pens that childlessness is due to
some cause that can be removed,
and often is removed by the "use of
Dr. Pjerce’s Favorite Prescription.
The vigor and vitality which this
remedy imparts to the delicate wo
manly organs puts them in a condi
tion of normal health, the lack of
which is often the sole obstruction
to maternity. Every woman should
read Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense
Medical Adviser, a book containing
1008 pages and 700 illustrations. It
is sent entirely f»ee on receipt of
stamps to pay expense of mailing
