! An Almanac for Georgia.
1
_
The proprietors of Mexican
tang Liniment have issued an al
manac for 1902, especially adapted
for this state, called “The Empire
State of the .South Almanac.” The
calculations are all made for this
state only, and consequently are
much more reliable thau any gen¬
eral almanac can be, and is deserv¬
edly more sought after than the old
style almanacs, like Grier’s and
others, whose calculations are sup¬
posed to cover several states, and
sometimes the whole country.
The garden remarks have been
1 prepared by the most experienced
agricultural experts in the state,
and are up to date. The weather
predictions are based not upon mere
guess work but upon the signal re¬
ports from the station at Augusta.
The almanac also contains a court
calendar for every circuit in the
state, the names of the judges and
tire time of holding court. Alto¬
gether, it contains so much of in¬
terest to residents of this state that
we advise everyone to look it over
carefully.
This also publish an Afro-Amer¬
ican Almanac for the negroes. Both
almanacs can be had free at the
drug stores and of general dealers.
Be sure and secure one before the
supply is exhausted.
The Piea of the Georgia Pine.
We have clothed with beauty
your mountain sides, have robed in
green the plains that otherwise
have been bare. Our eternal youth
and freshness the year around make
glad all who see us, and the breez¬
es bear in every direction the
strengthening breath which is our
health-giving bequest. Our peace
ful aisles are restful and cool and
shady, and we cover the ground
with a precious carpeting, while
we live through all the storms and
floods that nature sends. For man,
we are everything, but against him
we have no power.
Spare us in our beauty and maj¬
esty, let us bring to you eternally
health and repose and a delight to
all the senses. Permit us to sing
| on forever our whispering songs in
the southern breeze. Turn not our
groves to deserts. Stay the hands
of those who would bear us far
from the land in the distant oceans,
and of others who would take
away all our strength and w’ould
leave us to die that the navies of
the world may be supplied with
what to us is life. We are a part
of your heritage handed down
through countless ages, spare us,
spare us - f Augusta Herald

CASH PRIZE CONTEST

j The Atlanta ,
i Constitution’s
Great Offer for 1902.
The Cotton Receipts at Savannah,
Ga., from September to April,
$2,000. $1,500 cash
. o agen . s e or e t its . „
of 1902. Full Statistics given
for your Guidance. An lln
paralleled Offer for our Readers.
The Atlanta Constitution offers
two cash prize contests from Janu
ary 1st to April 15, 1902.
$1,500 in cash prizes for agents.
These prizes range from $400 for
the highest to $5.00 for the lowest
list from any agent during the pe¬
riod, in addition $250 will be divid
ed pro rata among all agents
send twenty or more subscriptions
and fail to get any other prize.
This is a liberal offer and the de
tails ot it will be sent you by ap¬
plying to the Atlanta Constitution,
Atlanta, Ga.
The $2,coo upon the Savannah,
Ga., cotton receipts will be given
as follows:
To the person sending a yearly
subscription to the Atlanta Consti
tution (weekly) together with the
correct estimate on the cotton re
ceipts of Savannah, Ga., from Sep
tember t, 1901 to April 15, 1902.
; $1,000 if the estimate is receiv
ed during January.
$500 if the estimate is received
! during February,
j $250 if the estimate is received loth,
‘ during March or up to April
The above are for the exact esti
mates. There are besides these the
following prizes that will be paid
out for the nearest estimates to the
Savannah cotton receipts received
at any time during the contest:
$250, $100, $75, $50, $25, for the
next nearest estimates in their
order.
There is also a great consolation
offer. $500 will be distributed
among those who fail to secure one
of the larger prizes and whose es¬
timates come within 500 bales eith¬
er way of the exact figure. This
allows a margin of 1000 bales vvith
j n which all estimates are sure to
receive part of the prize money of
f ere d. The point is to strike the
estimate exactly during January,
This is a possibility. In a contest
similar to this the Constitution has
bad the number hit exactly and
paid out $1,000 for the estimate,
I11 another similar contest the esti
mate has come within one of the
exact figure, and all the prizes of
fered have been paid out upon esti
mates that were not fifty removed
from the exact estimate.

j The Atlanta Constitution for
I '9° 2 Will be better than ever before.
i Ils s T )ecial news features are
the Philippine p and r Cuban ' iri , ,ish
j tj ODS . t j ie Nicaragua canal ques
tion ; the busy session of the most
important Congress we have ever
asse mbled, working out the details
of diplomacy, commerce, war and
j peace, forecasted by the new Pres
ident’s recent message ; the devel
opments of the South’s great in¬
dustrial movements ; the Charles
I ton and West India Exposition
now in progress ; the building and
equipping of the Louisiana J) uir
chase Exposition at St. Louis ; di¬
versified farm and village indus
tries and improvement; the Rural
I Free Delivery of the farmers mail :
the Good Roads and better schools
question ; and thousands of other
important things will be found fill
ly and freely discussed in the Con
stitution for the year. The Farm
and Farmers’ page will be under
the able direction of Col. R. J.
Redding who has for years presid
ed over this department to the great
delight and encouragement of all
questioners. The Woman’s King
dom, the Children’s page and other
interesting departments will be ably
conducted, and will be especially
adapted to those addressed. The
ringing editorials of the Constitu
tion speaking right out in meeting
exactly what it means in the advo
cacy vf true democratic doctrine
and the development of the south,
and in behalf of the great interests
of the masses of our plain people
are alone easily worth the subscrip¬
tion price of the paper over and
again.
The management of the Atlanta
Constitution will continue its for¬
mer policy in all respects. Mr.
Clark Howell as President and Ed¬
itor in Chief, Mr. Roby Robinson,
the new Business Manager, and
the same well-disciplined corps
staff writers and heads of depart,
ments, will ably conduct all the af¬
fairs of this great newspaper. The
Constitution’s long and honorable
business course keeping faith with
the people in all its contracts, cou
tests, and engagements, as well as
in its consistent and conspicuous
editorial fairness places it
those reliable institutions of
country upon which the people may
depend.
The Sunny South has
brought under a close subscription
alliance with the Atlanta Constitu
tion. It is now a weekly
paper conducted in the interest
southern readers. One of its avow
ed purposes is the exploitation
the southern field of literature and
the encouragement of southern tal¬
ent. During the year contests for
the best competitive stories by
southern writers will be announc
ed. During the past year a eom
petition of this character resulted
in some 500 stories submitted, all
of which are well worth reproduc¬
tion and the majority of them have
appeared and will continue in the
Sunny South’s interesting columns.
The Woman’s Department of the
Sunny .South has been placed under f
the direction of Mrs. Mary E. Bry
an. Her name has been connected
with the Sunny South for nearly a
generation. She has brought to
her work a ripened experience gain
ed j n the service of the same clien
tele. The charm of her own per
sonality shines in all the writings
of this gifted woman. Already
the Sunny South hasacqtiired a list
of over 50,000 subscribers and dur¬
ing the year this figure will doubt¬
less be more than doubled. The
price of the Atlanta Constitution j
a ud Sunny South is only $1.25 per |
year. The price of the Sunny I
South alone is 50 cts. per year
