He la fanning In Sandy Creek district,
this county. Yesterday morning bright
and early he brought revere! samples
of his cotton to Athens to let his friends
see what he could do in the county that
grows an agricultural college. Two dis
tinct types were shown—the Langford,
which has the bolls close to the main
Stem clustered about that stem and few
limbs to the stalk, and Cie Texas Row
dan—with limbs spread apart and bolls
scattered well. Qn the Langford stalk
there were 40 bolls, 37 opened. Os this
Re wDI make two bales to the acre easi
ly. On the Rowden specimen be had 3)
bolls, all fully -opened. This is a big
boll, with small seed, and will yield from
40 to 45 per cent lint, the young farmer
claims. From 1,2® pounds of seed cot
ton with 50 pounds taken* out for toll,
he makes a 500-pound bale. Yield con

MOVE BACK TO FARM
NEWS FROM AMERICUS
AMERICUS, Ga.. Oct. 14.-A realty deal
of local interest was the purchase of the
B. F. Harvey farm or -u3 acres by
Messrs. J. L. Sparks arid Cliff Williams,
who will extend their success at sell
ing goods to the cultivation of corn
and cotton. Both were reared upon the
farm, but the lessons in agriculture thus
acquired have been long since forgotten
In the lapse of decades. However, they
wil try it again, and under favorable
conditions this ttme, as Mr. Williams is
seriously considering making his home
there if he can interest others in the
proposition. The farm ties on the Amer

Best Acre of Cotton
BAINBRIDGE, Ga.. Oct. 14-Mr. J. V.
Lester, of Attapulgus, probably has the
finest single acre of cotton in the coun
ty. While in the city a few days ago he
stated that be had already gathered 1.
SOO pounds from the acre, and was sure
of getfing at least 500 pounds more.
This particular acre of cotton Is one
that was prepared for tobacco, and shows
what land of this county can be made to
produce with the proper cultivation. It
bad required a great deal of fertiliser to
bring It to such a high state of cultiva
tion. but such land is hard to value.
Thousands of acres in the county could
be made to produce as much as this one.
And it would pay every farmer to select
a few acres and bring them up to such a

When the
Stomach Stops
Working Properly, Because There
Is Wind in It, Use Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets to Bet
It Going Again.
Trial package Free.
The doctors oail It flatulency, but un
professional folks know it as “wind on
the stomach," and a moat distressing
state of things it Is. It is a serious cost
dition of this great motor organ. Always
annoying and painful in the extreme, at
times often leading to bad and fatal re
sults. The stomach embarrassed and
hampered with wind cannot take care of
Its food properly and indigestion follows,
and this has a train too appalling to
enumerate. The entire system is impli
cated—made an active or passive factor
In this trouble and life soon becomes a
questionable boon.
All this is explained in doctor books;
how undigested food causes gases by
fermentation and fomentation in which
process some essential fluids are destroy
ed—burnt up—wasted by chemical ac
tion. followed by defective nutrition ano
the distribution through the alimentary
tract of chemically wrong elements ano
as a consequence the stomach and entire
system is starved. Plenty of food, you
Bee. but spoilt in preparation and worse
than worthless.
A deranged stomach is the epitome of
evil; nothing too bad to emanate from
It. but the gas it generates Is probably
Its worst primary effect and the only
way to do away with this la to remove
the cause. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets go
to the root of this trouble. They attack
the gas-making foods and render them
harmless. Flatulency or wind on the
stomach simply cannot exist where these
powerful and wonderworking little tab
lets are in evidence.
They were made for this very purpose
to attack gas-making foods and convert
them into proper nutriment. This is their
province and office. A whole book could
be written about them and then not all
told that might be told with profit to
sufferers from this painful disease, dys
pepsia. It would mention the years of
patient and expensive experiment in effort
to arrive at this result—of failures In
guxnerable and at last success. It would
make mention of the different stomacn
correctives that enter into this tablet and
make it faithfully represent all.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are not
alone intended for the sick, but well
folks as well; for the person who craves
hearty foods and wants to eat heartily
end run no risk of bad effects, they act
like a eharm and make eating and di
gestion a delight and pleasure. »u«y
keep the stomach active and energetic
and able and willing to do extra work
without special labor or effort. Don't
forget this. Well people are often neg
lected. but the Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets
have them in mind.

go to the drug store for them; every-]
where, here or at home, they are 50
cents a box and by getting them at home
you will save time and postage. Your
doctor will prescribe them; they say
there are 40.000 doctors using them, but

LAND nFarItATESBORO
SHOWS MUCH ACTIVITY
STATESBORO, Ga., Oct 14.—Two im
portant real estate deals were made
here during the past week, one of
which was Mr. H. B. Franklin sold his
farm of one hundred and twenty-nine
acres to Mr. H. H. Hollingsworth. The
property lies about seven miles north
east of town. We understand the price
paid was about sixty'dollars per acre.
The deal was made through the real
estate agency of Fields and Chance.
The other deal was that of Mrs. W. C.
Corley to Mr. J. T. Jones, on a tract
of land containing two hundred and
eight acres near Register. The price
per acre of this land was about forty
dollars per acre. This deal was also
made through Messrs. Fields and
Chance.
The high water record for the past
ages was reached in Statesboro in re
gard to real estate values on yesterday
when several trades were bld off at ad
ministrator's sale at the highest prices
ever known for farm lands located as
far from town as these lands were.
The C. J. Martin place containing
three hundred acres in the Bay district,
was bid in by Mr. D. E. DeLoach at
about sixteen thousand dollars, and the
Jas. Beasley lands in the same neigh
brohood, brought from fifty to seventy
six dollars per acre. The home place
of the Davis farm was bid in by Mr.
Joseph Davis at 378.00 pter acre. The
Proctor lands were withdraw-n from
sale by reason of the fact that the other
sales had monopolised the sale hours
and the most of the buyers had gone
away when this property was placed
on the block in the afternoon.
SEVERAL TRACTS ARE
SOLO AT PUBLIC OUTCRY
DAWSON, Ga., Oct. 14 —At public sale
Tuesday a good deal of real estate was
sold, the bidding on almost every tract
that was offered, being lively.
Mr. J. S. McLendon bought 90 acres
belonging to the estate of Mrs. E. C.
McLendon for $5,050. Messrs. J. A. Hors
ley and J. W. Glass bought 353 acres
belonging to the estate of Mrs. C. A.
Wilburn, paying $3,400, which they have
since sold to Mr. John Moreland for
$5,150 • ■
Mrs. H. L. Pierce bought 27 acres in
three different lots, paying $568.
Mr. J. A. Horsley, real estate agent,
who recently bought M 0 acres known as
the dairy farm in the southwestern part
of the city, sold it to Mr, W. H. Dis
muke. of Graves Station for $4,500.
1,000 ACRES AT DUBLIN
HAVE CHANGED HANDS
DUBLIN, Ga., Oct. IL-On Saturday
last the papers were signed up which
transferred 1.000 acres of land in Caldwell
district from Mr. R. H. Duggan to
Messrs. E. Smith & Co., of Kittrell.
The trade was made some time since,
but the papers were not signed up un
til Saturday. There are 650 acres of the
land In cultivation and all but about
1® acres can be easily placed in culti
vation.
The sale was made by Mr. B. A. Gar
rard, of this city, who secured an op
tion on the property and then sold to the
Messrs. Smith.
The consideration is not stated. The
land is some of the best in the county
and is located about four miles from

STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
PLANNING IMMENSE EXHIBIT TO
BE SHOWN TO GEORGIA FARMERS
ATHENS. Ga., Oct. 14.—The educa
tional exhibit of the State College of
Agriculture met the hearty approval of
all who aaw itaat the state fair last
year, and arrygements have been
made to have Hie college exhibit again
this year. The exhibit will be similar
to the one Installed last year in that
it is purely educational, no attempt be
ing made to show high yielding vari
eties of crops, etc., but every effort
has been put forth to arrange an ex
hibit which will be of practical value
to the farmer. This has been accom
plished to a better advantage this
year than last season because the ex
hibit has been constantly in the mine*
of the ones arranging it for an entire
year. Having had experience with the
previous exhibit the less interesting
things have been eliminated, and mor,
valuable material used. Everything
will be new and interesting.
In a portion of this exhibit can be
seen a complete working dairy. Fresn
milk is arriving daily from Greens
boro, the largest milk shipping center
of the state. The cream is
ripened, and churned under the direct
observation of the spectators. The
whole process of butter making will be
explained and Illustrated from A to a.
The Babcock test is used for deter
mining the richness of samples u>
milk, cream, skim milk and buttor
milk, and total solids are measured by
means of the lactometer. Parties Hi
terested may have samples of milk ex
am tn ed at any time during thd fan*.
This exhibit includes complete line of
dairy machinery, and equipment for
farm use, and all interested in dairy-
Ing are urged to Inspect it.
TEST VALUE OF RATIONS.
An interesting experiment was car
ried on at the college to determine
the value of various rations for dairy
cattle containing cotton seed menu,
beet pulp, silage, stover and wheav
bran. These should be of value to all
dairymen. An even more interesting
experiment to the average farmer Is
one in which the relative value of one
ton of cotton seed meal as a fertilizer
and when fed to dairy cattle was de
termined. Details of these experi
ments are shown graphically.
A thing of vital Importance to the
Georgia farmers is thst of raising
their own work stock. A chart show
ing the vslue of ten mares and their
progeny in ten years time when brod
to a jack, and the value of tu equal
number of mares and their progeny for
the same length of time when bred t<*
a stallion will prove interesting in this
connection.
The exhibit of the veterinary de
partment will be of great Interest and
very Instructive to those interested in
live stock. There are two wall charts
each 3 by 10 feet illustrating in nat
ural colorings the external and internal
anatomy of the horse aAd cow. An
other large chart Illustrates the cattle
tick. points out how and to what ex
tent the cattle industry la damaged by
it and the advantages to be gained by
tick eradication. Specimens of ticks
are on hand for close examination. A
comparison of the spleen of a healthy
cow aSth that of a cow that died of
“Tick Fever’ can also be seen.
Various specimens of, diseased ani
mal tissues are shown as well as a
number of forms of parasites infest
ing farm animals. A case of common
drugs such as may be used by tne
farmer and live stock men Is also
shown. Instructive models f6r telling
the age of the horses are of Interes,
to horsemen and will occupy a prom
inent position In the exhibit.
No less interesting are the exhibits
from the various other departments of
the college. Several varieties of cer
eals are shown, both the seed and ir
the straw. This will help the farmer:
to better understand differences be
tween them.
As a result of some extended soil sur
veys recently made by the college, the
soil laboratory contains many samples
of soil taken from various portions of
the state. Some of the most interesting
ones of these are exhibited, showing
both the mechanical and chemical analy
ses. Some soil physics laboratory appar
atus is set up and In use to demonstrate
the methods used and taught for de-,
termlnlng the acidity, leaching, capil-1
lary action, etc., of the soil. These are]
all potent factors in crop production, and
every farmer should know how to control)
them.
FERTILIZING EXPERIMENTS.
The greatest problem with which the
Georgia farmers are confronted is that
of maintaining the productive capacity oil
the soil. In view of this fact, ample
space was taken to show th# various
carriers of the important elements, nitro
gen, phosphorus, and potassium, together
with the percent and relative value of
each as a fertiliser. An earnest effort
is being made to keep the farmers from
purchasing expensive and unnecessary
fertilising material.
A portion of the college farm is used
entirely for demonstration work. The
results from many of these plots are.
given, showing the relative yields of the
various varieties of corn, cotton, oats,
etc. From these the farmer can easily'
see which will be the best variety of

those crops to plant tn order to get larg
est yield. The variety test with corn, for
Instance, shows the yield per acre of
each variety for the years with
an average for the three years.
The prepotency of individual plants Is
entirely overlooked by the average farm
er, so in order to firmly Impress the
value of this important factor upon the
minds of the farmers, 'the progefiy of dif
ferent ears of corn are shown. In a like
manner the stoollng power of small
grains is strikingly illustrated with the
plants themselves. The different grades
of seed are also exhibited. After learn
ing these, the farmer is in a position to
protect himself against ths purchase of
inferior seed.
It is interesting to krtow that more
than 150 different and distinct products
can be made from corn alone. Many
of these are shown in order to familiar
ize the people with the many uses to
which this, seemingly Insignificant, crop
can be put.
Herbarium specimens of the more im
portant grasses are shown in order that
the farmers can more Intelligently put
down permanent pastures which will
give ample grazing practically all of the
year. As intelligent farmers should be
gin to realize the truth of the old Flem
ish proverb, “No grass, no cattle; no
cattle, no manure; no manure, no crops.*
FARMERS' READING COURSE.
A farmers’ reading course has been
outlined and it contains the best books
obtainable to cover each of the subjects,
soil, farm crops, general farming, live
stock, horticulture and agricultural eco
nomics. Each classification has an im
portant bearing upon all farming opera
tions, and no farmer could do better than
to study these subjects from the books
In a well outlined reading course.
Among the things of horticultural in
terest is an exhibit of pecan nuts. Thir
ty-five named varieties can be seen in
ofie case and along with them a seedling
nut, in order that a comparison can be
drawn. The name of the variety as well
as the name of the person and place
from whence it came can be seen on each
bottle. There is also an interesting case
showing some of the fungus diseases
and Insect pests of fruit as well as the
remedies for the same. This case is
ao arranged that the trouble and best
remedy for the same are shown side by
side. This is also a chart on exhibition
showing the cost of bringing a peach or
chard into bearing and the exact status
of finances to the end of the third year.
There is also a display to snow the pos
silibilities of grafting. Tomato plant has
been grafted on an Irish potato plant,
and by this means tomatoes can be
grown on the limbs and potatoes on the
roots of the same plant.
Likely one of the most interesting ex-
I hibits are the display of seedling figs.
This exhibit, itself, is not so marvel
vus, but the fact that the plans shown
are the result of one of the first figs
ever pollinated succesfully in Georgia
adds to their Interest. The bushes were
raised from the seed of a fig that was
pollinated and grown by Mr. B. W.
Hunt, of Eatonton, Ga. This fig Was sent
■to the college and out of 86 seeds that
came up, 15 plants were secured. A full
description of the method of pollination
can be found at the exhibit.
The Forest school exhibit consists of
specimens of leaves, fruits and flowers
of important timber trees, glass tubes,
] containing tree seeds; a large section
I from a pine tree, showing how time is
gained or lost in timber production;
; charts showing how stands should be
thinned to increase the rate of growth;
and pieces of bark on which the bark
beetle has caused a great deal of dam
age to the pin* timber for the past sev
eral seasons, and a placard warns
against owners uttlng and forest Area,
which favor the .spread of the bettie.
All are urged to look over the course
offered by the farm mechanics’ depart
ment, and to see the skillfully made
drawing of students after only a few
months’ instruction.
BOYS’ CORN CLUB.
An interesting feature of the exhibit is
the Boys' Corn club department, a divi
sion of the extension work. Ninety-six
counties are organized and 6,000 members
enrolled; SSOO in premiums is given. The
; contestants must submit a W-ear exhibit,
and a written report of the yield. The
judges in this contest will consider not
only the 10 ears exhibited, but also the
yield and the profit.
The' purpose of the exhibit, from, the
department of cotton industry is to show
| the meaning of education applied to cot
] ton farming, as well as the progress of
the work at the college in cotton in
vestigation. A plant showing its bolls
entirely destroyed by the anthracnose,
{ and by this a sunbeam plant that re
sisted this much-dreaded disease. Various
] other diseases of cotton are also on ex
] hibitlon.
I A large photograph will be shown 11-
I lustrating a field of cotton that yielded
] more than two bales of cotton per acre
!at a net cost of about $39 per acre. By
this picture may be seen a small plant
i that represents the average cotton
plant now grown in the state, according
to the present yield, also another plant
representing the bale-to-the-acre plant
if 6,000 are grown to, the acre. *
This exhibit Is at all times in charge
of competent mien from the State Coltegq
of Agriculture, who glad to? ex
plain It to any one interested.
This exhibit alone is well worth a trip
to the fair, and will prove to be of In
estimable value to all who see it.

Cruger-Ball Place Bought by
Thomasville Company for
Subdivision Purpose
ALBANY, Ga., Oct. 14.—The Flowers-
Parker Realty Co., of Thomasville, has
purchased from Messrs. A. TjV- tend M. C.
Ball, of that city, the Cruger-Ball place,
across the Muckafoonee creek from the
power plant of the Albany Power and
Manufacturing Co.
There are approximately 3,000 acres In
the tract and it is one of the finest
tracts of land In this county. The price
paid was $35,0®.
According to the purchasers, the prop
erty will at once be improved, sub-divid
ed aryl sold to white settlers. The pur*
chasers have the means to carry out their
plans, and will lose no time in putting
them in effect.
The land is admirably located. The
Georgia Southwestern and Gulf railroad
and the Red Bone wagon road pass
through the tract, for a distance of three
miles, and it is therefore easily ac
cessible from the city.
. The big deal gives promise of bring
ing a desirable class of home-owning
white farmers to the county, and no one
filing could be of greater benefit to the
community than this.

SAVANNAH, Ga., Oct. 14.—Preparations
are being made by the Savannah delega
tion to attend the annual convention ot
the Atlantic Deeper Waterways associa
tion, which will be held Tuesday in
Richmond, Va. Those who will go from

Trusses Like These Are a Crime
Q«t Bld of Elaetlo Baade, Springs and
Leg-Straps. Such Harness Has
Forced Thousands to Undergo
Dangerous Operations.
Trusses like those shown above—the belt
sod leg-strap, elastic and spring contraption*
—sold by drugstores and many self-styled
•‘Hernia Specialists”—make life miserable for
everybody who wears them.
Moreover, th#y ’ often do immense harm—
they squeeze the rupture, often causing strang
ulation—dig into the pelvic bone in Jet
press against the sensitive spinal column at
the back. , ,
The Plain Uruth is This.
Rupture—as explained in our free book—
can’t be relieved or cured—can’t even be kept
from growing worse—unless constantly held
in place.
Just as a bandage or splint is the only way
a broken bone can be held—toe rig ht kind ot
truss Is the only thing !h the world that can
keep a rapture from coming out.
What a difference it will make when you
get that kind of truss.
And you can get exactly that kind of truss
without risking a cent of your money.
It’s the famous Cluthe Trass or Clutbe Au
tomatic Massager.
Far more than a truss —far more
merely a device for holding the rupture in
place.
Self-regulating, self-adjusting.
No belt, elastic belt or springs around your
waist, and no leg-straps—nothing to pinch,
chafe, squeeze or bind.
Try It Without Risking a Fenny.
We have so much faith In tbe Cluthe Trass
—we have seen it work wonders for so many
others- —that we want to make one espec’.ally
for yonr case and let you wear it at our risk.
We’ll give you plenty of time to test it—if
h doesn’t keep yonr rupture from coming out
when you are working and at all other times
—if it doesn’t pnt ao eEd t 0 the trouble you've
heretofore had with your rupture—if you don’t
