■ A WORD TO THOSE WHO NEED AD
VICE.
r * In lees than ♦* hours the new year
I named 1512 will be here and the old year
| of 1911 will be dead and out of sight.
I What we accomplished or failed to do
must either be numbered as dead things
» or facts that can go down on the new
year’s fresh letter page as something
worth while and worth remembering.
This time last year la-cent cotton had
\ s exhilarated the farming classes and thou
y. sands went in debt for high-priced mules,
high-priced guano and high-priced eat
ubles and expensive clothes.
When a bale of cotton could cash in
at $75, what was the use of going slow?
Why not live, while you were living?
So the supply man said to the sanguine
farmer: “Just come in and help your
self."
E And they helped themselves to all in
sight, and because pay day was post
poned to November they piled up a long
Hr column of figures on the supply man's
9 ledger and they ate, drank and made
K’"’* ■ merry. They pulled the old buggy out
* in the lot and shoved a new buggy under
the shelter, the last not paid for.
f When they found the old wagon need-
E? in* repairs it sas quite as easy to bring
a new one home as falling off a log,
and why not buy a new wagon body to
go With the new wagon. He didn’t have
to pay until November and the cotton
crop was promising: why not work with
$ good tools instead of worn out ones?
F And when the big meetings were com
ing on why not fix up the house with
K some new furniture, and if the preachers
stayed with you you felt obliged to, and
then you must buy more groceries, and
tI » you had lots of company to call in and
eatable* disappeared very fast But the
Bi crop was laid by. or to be plainer, you
had quit working at it, and why not
t- eat. drink and be merry?
x Maybe you had some sickness and the
doctors came, and may be one of the boys
I took a notion to marry and suddenly
X appeared with his bride All of you had
to eat and cotton picking time was on.
and you woke up at last to the fact that
it took two bales of cotton to bring
W ” what one bale brought the year before
F • It cost as much to pick as formerly, and
the guano was the same, the ginning
- was just the same, and behold the price
was just half at the selling place.
> Don’t you <ee where the mistake was
’ made? I think you do. Need I say more?
Now. good friends, the year 1912 i going
« to be close and hard to begin with, and
the gupply man will want you to give
good gecurity. and credit will be much
l inert difficult as a farming proposition,
and while labor may be no higher it
will be equivalent to cash, or more so.
You must farm to live, and the world
that I want to give you is economy. I
lived through the war I know what it
was to do without things you felt you
were obitgrd to have. We wore the old
clothes and we ate sorghum* and corn
bread when we had ,no meat and no
gnonev There is but one way to climb out
of a ditch and that is to crawl up and
out and It is not easy or dainty, but you
a tan climb, if you are obliged to.

WATTERSON DOESN’T
FEAR ROOSEVELT BOOM
CHARLOTTE, N. CL Dee, SO.—Col.
H.nry Watterson gave out an interview
last night on the subject of Theodore
Rooeevelt'a candidacy for the presi
dency.
Inspired by the statement,of a re
porter that he had been accused by the
New York Herald of sharing in the
alnrir. voiced by the New York World
that Mr. Roosevelt is really a candi
date, Mr. Watterscn declared that his
position was misunderstood, he was not
alarmed In the least; he had simply ex
pressed the idea that he knew that
Roosevelt was being groomed for the
race, and ventured the opinion that
even if the stampede movement in his
behalf succeeds he would not carry a
single state in the union.
Colonel Watterson declared that Ml
that stands between us and life tenure
of office is the third term tradition.
He regarded Roosevelt, he said, as a
personal friend —he knew bis parents
before him —and he would rather fol
low him to the grave, if he were his
dearest son. than see him return to the
presidency, because he knew that ue
would the presidency and Mex
icanise the republic.

ny Saw.”
One of the party then cried out,
"What did Kinny see?”
Another of the party then told his
joke after their gale of laughter, ovei
Kinny. had subsided. It seems there is
a station somewhere known as Coweta,
named most likely for Coweta county.
This traveler said he was on the train
some days ago and sat near a man ana
his g-year-old boy.
The conductor or his lieutenant
yelled out three times, "Cow-Eater,’
i "Cow-Eater,” "Cow-eat-er" with a
crescendo voice inflection each time.
, The little boy with wide-open eyes, said
to his paw. "What made that oow eat
her? Os course we were all obliged to
titter.
Every one of us has been often
amused to hear a train man yell out in
the same way and sometimes we knew
what he said and sometimes we didn’t
find ourselves any wiser afterwards.
A third joker theh told of a traveler
who had listened very closely until a
conductor called out frantically,
"Ack-worth,’’ "Ack-worth,” , “Ack
worth” going up the gamut at each
loud call. The jolly fellow at once in
quired, "You may be worth a dollar
and me 50 cents, but why didn’t you
tell us how much Ack was worth V
I enjoyed these merry folks more
than I can express to you. and it seem
ed to me that such merry hearts made
sunshine for all of us, who didn't speak
a word.
At last the apparent leader of the
group laid his head back and yawned
with apparent relish. Said he, "I got
up at 4 o’clock yesterday morning,
have had a jolly good time in Atlanta,
but when I hit the bed in
at midnight tonight you can bet your
bottom dollar I'll be ready for it, for
it is now after dark and I have not had
a wink of sleep since I started at 4
o'clock yesterday morning.” “I sure
have had a good time.”
So much for youth, health and a
merry heart! Such merry hearts make
the world go around. But I’ll never
forget what Kinney-saw, or the Cow
that eat her or ponder over the worth
of Ack whenever I hear our conductors
call out for us, hereafter.
MT GOOD XMAS TIKE.
I was too lame to go to the stores
and buy cards and 'little Xmas gifts
for children, but lay on the lounge and
read until old eyes were weary. bo
when the dear friends away off poured
in their Xmas greetings and one re
membered me with a jar cf preserves
and another with a fine dressed tur
key, and another with a fine foot warm
er. to use in a buggy and keep the
lame knee warm, I said to myself.
"How good they are, how sweet such
friendship, how grateful I ought to be?"
And I am grateful!
So I spent the most of my Xmas
holidays in rejoicing over the gracious
kindness of those who remembered
their old friend, who just couldn't no
anything for anybody, except to’ send
some Xmas cards, and< thank God for
: His preserving mercies, and lie on the
I lounge on a holiday.
because 1 couldn't do
love those who loved me
so and after I thought over my
blessings, I saw how the Lord had giv
en me what is dearer to me than any
thing in sight, namely, the friendship
of the good and true.

Associated Press on December 12 at
tributed to Prof. Irving Kisner, ot Yaie
university, in a speech before ,tne City

high cost of living was due chiefly to
"malaria, hook worm and alcohol;'* the
recommendation of an international com

to him.
In letters to several of the news

Professor Fisher says that he declared
the cost of disease to have been “al
ways with us,” and knot in the least re

Smoke of Herbs
Cures Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way
and It Costs Nothing to Try.
This preparation of herbs, leaves
flowers and berries (containing no to
bacco or habit-fdrming drugs) is either
smoked in an ordinary clean pipe or
smoking tube, and by drawing the med
icated smoke into the mouth and inhal
ing into the lungs or sending it out
through the nostrils in a perfectly nat
ural way. the worst case of Catarrh can
be eradicated.
It is not unpleasant to use. and at
the same time it is entirely harmless,
and can be used by man, woman or
child.
Just as Catarrh is contracted by|
breathing cold or dust and germ-laden
air, just so this balmy antiseptic smok
ing remedy goes to all the affected
parts of the air passages of the head,
nose, throat and lungs, It can readily
be seen why the ordinary treatments,
such as sprays, ointment, salves, liq
uid or tablet medicines fail—they do
not and can not resich all the affected
parts. /
If you have catarrh of the nose,
throat or lungs, choking, stopped-up
feeling, colds, catarrhal headaches; if
you are given to hawking and spitting:
this simple yet scientific treatment
should cure you.
An illustrated book which goes thor
oughly into the whole question of the
cause, cure and prevention of catarrh
will, upon request, be sent you by Dr.
J. W. Blosser, 51 Walton street, At
lanta, Ga.
He will, also, mall you five days’ free
treatment. You will at once see that it
is a wonderful remedy, and as It only
costs one dollar for the regular treat
ment, it Is within the reach of everyone.
It is not necessary to send any money
—simply send your name and address
and the booklet and free trial package
will be mailed you immediately.

though the entire city would be de

A GOOD HOME-MADE ROLLER
By a Little Ingenuity Many Useful and Necessary Farm Tools
Can Be Cheaply Made
To make a good roller at the cost of
$7 or SB, take four old mowing machine
wheels all of one size- Use the axles
of the machines for the roller shafts.
Break off the lugs on the rim of the
wheels, then have your blacksmith
drill 3-4-inch holes, 4 inches apart. For
the drum or roller staves use 2x4-incn
scantlings cut to 3-foot lengths, bore
3-4-inch holes in these near each end to
make the ends even with the edge of the
rim of the wheel.
Bolt these onto the wheel, using I
washers under the heads of the bolts
and the nuts against the inside of the
rim of the wheel.
The piece of scantling should be bev
eled slightly, so as to fit cosely against
the rim of the wheel. Now, we are
ready for the ijrame, which should be of
4x4-inch stuff. Ciit two pieces which
should be 7 1-2 feet long. Two inches
from each end cut a lx3-inch mortise.
In the center of each of these pieces
cut a 2x4-inch notch for the tongue to
rest in. Cut the end pieces long enough
to clear the rollers when the frame is
put together.
Cut tenons on each end of these pieces
to fit the mortises in front and rear
pieces of the frame.
Have the blacksmith make four cor
ner irons with for? holes in each 3-8-
inch; pin corners securely, then put cor
ner irons on and tighten uj the bolts.
If you can find .fcur old machine
boxings that will fit toe roller shafts,
bolt to under sides of frame as shown
in cut; if not, make some out of hard
wood. The wooden boxings—lay two
pieces of 2x4-inch hard wood together,
clamp them anu bore a hole about 3-32
of an inch larger than the roller shaft.
STATE’S ATTORNEY ASKED
TO PUT BAN ON REVELRY
CHICAGO. Dec. 29.—State’s Attorney
Wayman has been appealed to by the
Christian Endeavor union to prevent the
revelry which it is claimed will result
from the order of Mayor Harrison, per
mitting restaurants and cases to sell
liquor after 1 o’clock New Year’s morn
ing. A letter addressed to the state’s
attorney by the organisation read as
follows:
“The state law forbidding the sale of
liquor on Sunday will be violated on
New Year’s eve. You know that the
United States government excludes
from naturalization as undesirable citi
zens saloonkeepers who violate the Sun
day closing law.”
When asked last night if he had felt
the effect of prayers offered for him, the
mayor said: >
"Only a slight tingling, and I thought
that was the effect of some of the
New Year’s resolutions 1 proposed to
make." ' , ’
ESKIMOS WHITER AT
BIRTH THAN CAUCASIANS
CHICAGO, Dec. 29.—Christian Leyden,
an arctic explorer connected with the
University of Christiania, who has been
in Chicago for a few days prior to his
return to Norway, talked last night of
the origin of the Eskimo, the inves
tigation of which race he has been en
gaged in.
“A peculiar feature of all those most
northern inhabitants," he said, “is that
when born they have skin even whiter
than the Caucasian. But they have a
.tlnv blgoK spot In the middle of the back
and it is "in this spot that their com
plexion originates. The spot grows lax
ger and at the same time less strongly
colored. Finally it spreads over the
entire body.”
NEW FEDERAL BUILDING

ALBANY. Ga.. Dec. 29.—February 1 is
the date that is now, set for the new
Albany government building to be ready
for occupancy. When this government
building is complete Albany will have
one of the handsomest postofiice build
ings in southwest Georgia. x
Thire has been some delay, caused by
the non-arrlval of the material for the
terrazzo tile flooring In the corridors,
but information has been received local
ly that this material is now at hand,
and the work will be hurried through to
an early completion.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 29.—Wheth
er or not agitation for woman suffrage
Is to continue in Connecticut will be left
to arbitration by a committee of three,
if a suggestion proposed by the Connect
icut Women Suffrage association Is car
ried out. In a letter to the association
opposed to woman suffrage, the votes for
women suffrage, the votes for women
organization suggests that each associa
tion submit arguments to a committee of
three, one to be appointed by each asso

two, and that the finding of the com
mittee be accepted by both sides.
MUST DELAY TRIAL OF
RICHESON, COUNSEL SAYS
BOSTON, Dec. 29.—The general physi
cal and mental condition of the Rev.
C V. Richeson is so unfavorable that
his trial on January 15, the date set, will
be an absolute impossibility in the opin
ion of his counsel. “Perhaps his wounds
may be in a favorable condition,” says
a statement from his lawyer, “but his
general and mental condition is far from
favorable and I believe any attempt to
put him on trial at so early a date
would cause a collapse which would de
lay the trial indefinitely."
WOUNDED BOY WON’T
IMPLICATE OTHERS
MEMPHIS. Tenn., Dec. 29.—Although
the police declared to him they knew
he had accomplices, Leon Howard, who
said his age is 17, and that his home
is in LoiMsville,. Ky., before fainting in
the surgeon’s quarters at central po
lice station here early today from loss
of blood resulting from a shot in the
thigh as he endeavored to escape from
a downtown building, which he is charg
ed with having robbed, reiterated his as
sertion that he “did the job alone.”
A chauffeur told a patrolman that
three youths were in a clothing store.
MALCOM C. PATERSON
BARRED FROM WASHINGTON
SEATTLE Wash., Dec. 29.—A court order
was signed here today permitting former Gov
t-mor Pat ter sob, of Tennessee, to remove hU
ll.'l-yinr-old son. Malcolm C. Patterson, from
Washington, on filing a bond of to guar
a-itse that the young mm won't not return to
aisle
Ex-Governor Patterson furnished the bond and
hie son, who had been in the county jail, wa*
turned over to him. He has stated be will
place the boy in a Tennessee sanitarium.
Young Patterson shot R. T. Seal at Port
Orcbard. December 7. He was examined as to
his sanity and experts fonnd he was suffering
from “dipsomania Induced by drinking continu
ctnUy for five years." Seal is recovering.
Let the worm of the auger run directly
between them, so one-half of the hole
will be in each piece.
Putting rollers and frame together—
place the shaft in each roller and make
fast by means of a set screw in the hub
of each wheel; the shafts shouiu turn
in the boxings, not the wheels on the
snafts
Now place the frame over the rollers
and adjust to proper position, that is,
have the space around the rollers be
tween them and the frame the same dis
tance at all places.
Raise the roller frame slighuy and
slip in place the upper half of each box
ing; let down frame on shaft, put low
er half of boxings in place, then bore
holes through the frame 2 1-2 Inches
from the shaft, and bolt all together
with 5-8-inch bolts.
You see by the cut that the tongue
forms the con terpiece for frame. Brace
the tongue with two pieces of old wagon
tire three feet long, put in proper shape
with a 3-4-inch bolt, fastening it to tne
tongue and frame.
Attach an old mowing machine seat to
the rear of tongue to balance the neck
yoke when the driver is seated. Make
three or fbur holes for fastening sea*
to frame so the seat may be regulated
to agree with the weight of the driver.
Bore a 1-4-inch hole In frame direct
ly over each boxing for an oil-hole for
the same.
Paint the whole thing, rollers and an,
and keep in the dry when not in use ana
it will last 25 or more years.
Do not use it when the soil is wet.
A roller is only to paca dry soil or
to crack hard dry clods so they will
pulverize when rained upon.
THOMASVILLE WILL
VOTE ON BOND ISSUE
THOMASVILLE, Ga., Dec. 29.—With
all other elections over. Thomasville peo
ple have one more to which they are
looking forward with much interest and
one which it is thought will bring on a
pretty hot fight, that of the $50,000 bond
issue for schools, which will be voted on
at the same time as the regular munici
pal election on the 16th. ft was thought
that there would be no trouble in carry
ing through this vote for bonds, but
there seems a good deal of opposition to
it in some quarters and a fight will be
made against it.
The progressive sentiment is ■in favor
of it, as the schools have grown so much
i within the past year that it is easily
seen that more adequate accommoda
tions are required and it will be hard to
house the large attendance and the
1 larger increase looked for another year
unless more buildings are provided.
BLACK AND TANS
FIGHT LILLY WHITES
BATQN ROUGE, La., Dec. 29.—The
coming Republican contest and primary
in this state, which has developed a num
ber of differences between the so-called
Lily Whites and the Black and Tans,
has put Secretary of State Everett in a
quandary as to whom the Republican
tickets are to be sent.
The law requires that the tickets are
to be sent to the chairman of the parish
executive committee, but a majority of
the parishes have no such committees.
In some parishes there is only one re
publican, many of the others having
from four to eight each.
“Gne Republican can’t organize the
election machinery of a parish and then
vote for himself,” said the secretary.
