Washington, Ga„ May 8.—Farmers of
Wilkes and adjoining counties are be
ginning to realise the scarcity of rella.
ble labor In this section.
Cotton chopping time Is at hand and
the laborers are few. Crops are con
siderably behind for this time of the
year, being the result of the^ recent cold
weather which necessitated the re
planting of all the crops and In some
instance the plowing up of all seed
and the commencement of the work In
every detail Just as If the season was
Just now at hand.
Indications are that more commer
cial fertilisers will be used this year In
proportion to the number of. acres In
cultivation than was the case last year.
Reports show that there will bo a con
siderable reduction In the cotton acre
age this year which was brought about
mainly by the recent cold spell.

B. L. Williams, employed as shipping
clerk at the shops of the L. & N. rail

has tried Doan's Ointment and Doan'f
Kidney Pills and speaks of his expe
rlence with them as follows: "I used
both preparations and found rpllef from
Itching plies In the use of the Olnt
ment. while the kidney pills relieved
me from the torment of backache. Some
one says that war Is hell; Itching Tea
are worse. You con not get away iroir
them and they stick to you night and
day and In every kind of weather.
There Is a tantalising torment and the
sufferer Is continually scratching, but
the effect Is not os good as pouring
water on a duck's back. Nothing I could
do gave me any ease until I got Dotn's
Ointment at Brannen & Anthony's drug
store. I applied the aalve and found
that the first application relieved the
Itching. It has never returned since.
The pills I used' for backache, from
which I had been suffering for some
months. My kidneys wers evidently
out of order for the secretions were
dark and full of sediment and there
was a weakness which bothered me
greatly at night and I suffered contin
ually from a dull pain right acroes my
loins, which made me feel like a man of
80. A number of remedies which I
tried failed to bring the results and I
got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at
Brannen A Anthony's drug stores. 102
Whitehall street and 80 Marietta street
Since using them according to dlrec
tlons I have been free from the back
ache, the muscles of my back are
strong and the kidneys have been re.
stored to a normal condition. The se
cretlons are clear In color and contain
no sediment. I feel like another man,
and you can put me down as a firm
friend of Doan's Ointment and Doan's
Kidney Pills. They a re two of the best
remedies I ever saw and I have tried
nearly everything."
