R. A. Fitk, Agent, Cedartown Ga. Mrs. Leslie Carter, probably the most prominent actress in America, says the following of Pe-ru-na: Pe-rn-na is sore to prevent a cold. It will stop a cough, before it be comes settled. It cores all catarrhal affections like magic. No money could tempt me to be without this remedy for even a day. It is just the remedy that all women need, especially such women that are exposed to the vicissitudes of climate, as I am. eg. “I never neglect an opportunity to recommend this remedy to my friends. It is America’s greatest remedy for America’s greatest enemy, catarrh and catarrhal affections. I would not have catarrh for a million dollars, and as long as I have Pe-rd-na at hand to promptly check the slightest symptoms of its approach, I feel perfectly safe from this disease.” N. Leslie Carter. Mrs. M. Dooley, Mount Airy, Haber sham county, Ga., in a recent letter savs: "I suffered live years more or less with catarrh of the stomach and pelvic or gans. I tried a good many remedies of my own, and bought medicine from a doctor that was highly recommended, .although the medicine did me no good whatever. Finally, I concluded to sub mit my case to Dr. Hartman. I wrote him, and ho readily advised me. bought some Pe-ru-na, and a few days after was taken with la grippe. I took Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin and I can say without a doubt that it has entirely relieved mo of all my ailments. I feel better and stronger than I have in many years. My ap- petite is all right, I have no symptoms of my former trou bles remaining. I am able to do my usual work without fatigue, and have every reason to be lieve that my health is the di- Man-a-lin, without which I should have been dead by this time. There is no medicine that can equal Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. I find it a sore cure for all catarrhal affections; as for la grippe there is no other remedy that can com* pare with it. I can scarcely find words to express my gratitude for Dr. Hart" man’s good advice and kindness to me. The peculiar ills to which women are subject are often very dangerous. It frequently happens that the victim lives far from competent medical as sistance. What shall she do? She is not wealthy enough to go to some distant city for treatment, and cannot procure skillful assist ance at home. This is what she should do: write Dr. Hartman, Columbus, O., tell him the whole story, and he will do the rest. Mrs. Margareth Fietz, Wilcox, O. T., writes: u I extend my sincere thank3 for the good advice you have given me. I do not believe I would be living now if it were not for you. I had suffered with hemorrhage for four months and the doctors could help mo but little. They operated on me three times. It was very painful, and I only obtained a little relief. As long as they worked at me, the hem orrhage stopped; but just as soon as they closed the door it would com mence to flow again. I was so weak I could not turn in bed. At last my neighbors began to speak of patent medicines. Then I applied to Dr. Hart man. I did not know whether ho could help me or not; but I followed his ad vice and only used three bottles of Pe- ru-na. Now I am well and 03 strong aa I ever was.’* Every woman should have Dr. Hart man’s free bbok to women. Address ADDRESS BY STEVENS DEffORiC SOUTHERN' 0031311$.

Permit me, therefore, to offer a few suggestions in the begin ning of onr meeting for your considera tion. For years the farmers of the south have been drifting aimlessly into a con dition of bankruptcy and demoraliza tion, greatly to their own hurt and to the detriment of the common welfare. This is not due to sterility of soil, nor to unfavorable climatic conditions. Na ture has not done more for any section than for the cotton states; nor is i: altogether fair to lay the fault of fail ure to oar farmers; for, as a class, they have worked industriously in and ont of season, but they have not worked with any fixed purpose of permanent benefit in the end. I have for years been urging the farmers of Georgia to reverse their methods, if they wonld es cape the conditions which have resulted from a lack of diversification in plant ing their crops. The salvation of the people depends npon rural independ ence—by living at home and raising home supplies; by ending off imports and increasing exports; and I urge npon yon, the commissioners of the cotton-growing states, to cail nponyonr people to chaDge their methods of farm ing. It is true that for 30years the balance of tradebas been some what in onr favor, bnt much can yet be done along this line. The farming interest has been the sub ject of much discussion by the press and people of the south for the past 12 root result of the use of Pe-ru-na and | Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.

This Is one of the most important medinms npon which this association must rely in reaching the farming class, by writing monthly letters npon agri cultural subjects and questions, to be published once a mouth in your newspapers. The work of reformation has begen, and it shenid be the objeot of this association to reach every home and cabin within its territory. The last crop was a profitable one to the farmers of the south. Everything bonght with which to make _ it was cheap—mules, labor, fertilizers, plough tools, farming machinery, cotton doth, meat, corn and forage; in fact, farm sup- plies of every description were exceed ingly cheap, and consequently the crop of 1899. come into the market at a very low cost. Onr people made light hills. The fall being favorable for gathering, and the crop small as compared with for mer years, it brought mnch better prices, and consequently the people of the cotton states are in better condition than in former years. Onr farming ex penses, with a fow exceptions in certain unfavored localities, have been paid and onr debts reduced, and we have more home-raised supplies than wo had one year ago. A change has taken place; a different state of affairs exists. I think there is no doubt that the sonth is more prosperous today than at any time within the last 30 years. Prices have advanced, and onr peo ple are more hopefnL Mnles and fer tilizers have advanced 35 per cent; corn, forage and meat are 15 per cent higher; plow tools and farming ma chinery are 75 per cent higher; cotton goods are 50 per cent higher; so the crop of 1899-1900 will cost fully SO per cent more to market it than did the crop of 1898 99. I nrge yon to sonnd a note of warning right now. Tell your farm ers to make small bills; to bny for cash, if possible; to plant largely of food crops, and reduce the acreage in cotton even below that of last year. The cotton crop for 1899-1900 will barely reach 9,- 000,000 bales, and the average price paid thus far has been 7 cents, so that if we again curtail the use of fertilizers and the acreage in cotton, and produce only 8,000,000 bales next season, we may expect not less than 9 cents per pound for onr crop. But, if onr farm ers go wild again, as they did in 1898— buy everything on time, plant the whole earth in cotton and make a crop of 11,600,000 bales, the conntry will be rained, almost beyond hope. Such a crop next season wonld sell from 4to 6 cents per ponnd, and leave ns hopelessly in debt It may be read ily seen that an 8,000,000 bale crop will bringmoremoneythanan 11,500,000 bale crpp, to say nothing of the cost of mar keting, and what we lose by leaving off food crops. If we can only induce onr farmers to adopt this method, they will be masters of the situation, and no con spiracy can control the cotton market and wring from them thi fruits of their labor without a fair reward. The cotto i manufacturing interest in the souther states has beeu greatly re vived. Iis influence is already felt, and wo should g : vo it ail the encouragement ana aid in O" r newer Whi’.e farmers are raising mill.ous.of me raw piodnct, it la the height of folly for our business men to sit idly .by nod see ihe profits'ia the. manufacture of cotton go abroad. Each railroad town in tho rotinustates should Jhavo ie MMou. Auiil. Thd miliioU of Let us encourage and welcome capital to come among as, to open up and de velop ear varied interests; but let the profits from the manufacture of cotton be spent among cur own people. We produce the raw material, and why not ship to other states the goods manufac tured? The item of transportation, alone, wili bo euoagh to pay them abundantly for their enterprise, and, besides, these mille wonld give employ ment to thousands of operatives, who must he fed by the farmers from their breadslnffs, dairies and gardens. In thi3 way additional facilities for the marketing of our farm products will he furnished. That it is the duty of the state to edu cate its ycuth has never been ques tioned by the intelligent citizenship of any commonwealth. The sums annu ally expended lor this • purpose are a profitable investment, making returns in after years of better- government, a strong and inteilectnal people, and a fnll development of onr institutions. It is an evident and accepted fact that each individual should be taught those branches that will best fit him for the work he will follow upon reaching his majority. Onr states have long since provided departments for teaching law and .medicine, and the general govern- ment is supponiug a department of ag riculture; but, when we remember the thousands of conntry schools in the cotton states, attended by throe fourths of onr boys, a large majority of whom are unable to jittend the agricultural colleges and schools where the higher branches are taught, we are at once im pressed with tho fact that these youths, npon whom will depend the dnty of supplying the country with food pro ducts. and furni.- hing the bu k of onr exports, are not being fully prepared for the calling that tho great agricult ural interests of our states will demand. Agriculture may properly be classed among the scieuces, aud farming as a profession. The intelligent man wil 1 manage his herds and cultivate his fields with profit. .Information that cheapens the production of vegetables, fruits and cereals will be disseminated among the cotton status, and we hope yet to lead the world in agricultural production, and to contribute In like ratio to her prosperity. The manual labor of the farm mu3t be intelligently directed, to insure success. The state that leads in the dissemiuatioa of information on agricultural subjects will, in the end, outstrip other agricultural communities in wealth, progrees and a “fu.l develop mem of their resources. If we will leach our children iu ihe common schools the elementary principles of agriculture— facts that have been ascertained by practical tests at efficiently conducted experimental stations—wo will add to onr farming population a class of young men aud women full of strength and vitality, aud better equipped than were their fathers and mothers for the de velopment of the great interests of the south. The necessity for imparting this information in the common schools soemr so apparent—the cost beiug really insiguiftiant, while the results are of momentous value—that it should not bo deferred or neglocted. What, then, is this knowledge that the moderu famor most have? He must know the chemistry of his farm; he must know ihe life and constitution of the things which grow from the soil; he must know their manner qf growth; he mnst know the insect life of the lo cality in which he lives; he mnst be a success ui student of geology and zo ology—especially that branch of zoology which deals with minute animal life, entomology. This he mast know, and know well. Hemnst know the friends and enumies of the apple tree, of the cabbage, of the .grass of the meadow; he mast know about the mil lions of living things that creep, rnn and fly. But how can the farmer learn these thiugs and thereby keep his land from wearing ont aud his crop from de struction?' Not by discussing the silver question; not by adopting free trade; and not by a discussion of our policy iu the Philipolnes. He must study care fully the tariff annually levied by the apple tree borers and moths, cabbage worms. potato bugs and caterpillars. This is the field for in vestigation. The insects daily chal lenge the farmer to deadly combat. It is battlo to the death, and cannot be evaded. The farmer of today mnst know the science and philosophy of physical life, the life of the animal and the plant, that be may be successful in his undei taking. We should, therefore, encourage the teaching of these scieuces in onr common schools. How delighted the boys and girls would be to learn about wheat and corn; about the apple treo, the peach, the plum and the pear; how these trees grow and are propagated; how they may be cared for and protected from the enemies that annually prey upon them. I am clearly of the opiniou that it would be well to eliminate a large part of the trash which is inserted in our big text books on geography In place of these things we should teach facts about the earth iu the neighborhood where we live. Ia a great many of onr cities appropriate studies are introduced for the bettor instruction cf the black smith,'the carpenter, the engineer and the man of affairs Hundreds i-f high school boys and girls in the cities aud towns at this lime are studying the very sciouoes which the farmers’ boys and girls should know. Science not taught from books, but iu the laboratories, where the electrical machines are made by tbo hands of the Btndeu.s; where the chemical forces are discovered by the studeut; where the potato bng. the chinch l ug, the grass hopper aud . the beetle are examined, studied, and classified. What, then, is the duty cf the hour? It is to torn our eye» in the direction of new things and tree thiugs that we most know today. Every one says educate the doctor; that he may heal ns when sick, MR|'' a and keep ns ont of iitigation Educate the schoolmaster, that he may guard, guide, awal-on aud properly start on life’s way the boys of tomorrow. We favor tbe education of the preacher, that he may be graud, full rounded, soul-abounding in sympathy, kindness wisdom and hope, so that he may make men's burdens lighter and their lives better; and I say, and urge, by all means educate the farmer, that he may fill the earth with plenty, enjoy the fruits of his willing labor and make the hearts of all men glad. STEVENS’ NEW YEAR TALK. Farmers Should Hold tbe Advantage They Have Gained. . Agricultural Department, Atlanta, Jan. 1, 1900. The year 1899, with all our mistakes, troubles, sorrows, pleasures and joys, is behind us and we are met with the new year 1900 with all its responsibilities. Let us face it like brave, determined men to improve over our past faults and mistakes. Let ns start ont to better mankind; improve onrselvea morally, socially and financially; build up onr conntry, our towns, our counties, onr stato on these lines—build np onr churches, our schools, our lands; speak cheerfully to each other; encourage our neighbors; meet them cheerfully, and, with a kind word, let ns be hopefnL We have much to be thankful for. Our condition is mnch better than Jan. 1, 1899. Georgia is a great state and Georgians are great agricultural people. Our lands are not rloh, bnt free produc tive, easily cultivated, varjed 'soil; the best allronnd climate in the world. We can produce everything we need at home, and Georgia; as well aa many of the cotton states, showed her good, hard sense last year by planting largely of grain and forage crops. The result is, as a state, Georgia has today plenty of grain and forage inside of her bor ders to feed her people and make a crop. Georgia reduced her fertilizer bills 20 per cent; her acreage in cotton 15 per cent, aud with poor seasons in many sections the crop of cotton in Georgia has been largely reduced and the price largely increased. The crop of 1899 was the cheapest made in man/ years. Oorn, hay, meat, mules, and clothing was very low. Labor was not high, and on account of seasons no extra la bor was required to make the crop. The fall was dry and favorable for gather ing, therefore the crop was brought in market in fine condition and at low cost and brought fair prices, so that onr peo ple have been benefited. . But conditions have changed. Mules, fertilizers and labor are 25 per cent higher; meat is 15 per cent higher; corn and forage 10 per cent higher; plow tools and farm machinery 50 per cent higer; cotton goods 40 per cent higher, so this crop will be a costly one com pared to 1899. I would respectfully nrge, yes, beg o£ yon, if need be, this new year day to hold the advantage which yon have gained. Flan now to pnt in spring oats, plant largely of corn and all forage crops, so as to fill your barns; raise cat tle and hags, in fact, all yon can con sume at home; let yonr fertilizer bills be small and plant only yonr surplus lands in cotton. Remember that an 8.000,000 bale crop will bring you more money than a 12,000,009 bale crop. If the crop is small, say 8,000,000 bales, you may expect not less than 9 cents per pound; if 11.000,000, you may ex pect 4% cents per pound. Choose you this day which you prefer. The south has made great progress iu her railroads; her cities aud towus have grown; her agricultural interest .has been greatly improved; ’improved meth ods have been adopted; two blades of grass are now grown where only one was grown a few years ago. Onr manufac turing interest has made great and ac tive progress; large snms of money have beeu invested in cotton factories and made good profit; ten years ago we ia 1 about 650,000 spindles, today we have about 5.000,009 The south is in better condition ana mure prosperous today than ever in her history.

From the deepest depths of my soul I thank God for this glad hour. In the merry sunshine flooding upon tliisgic- rious.sce'ne my heart leaps with joy elate and my soul is aflame with the music emanating from the colossal throat of the.Cherokee Iron Furnace, whose new birth we this day celebrate. We liail with joy the old-time song of this furnace once more gladdening with its echoes these hills and valleys. This is truly a significant epoch in the history of the rapidly growing city of Cedartown, inspiring hope in her bright future and justifying the un faltering faith iu those of us who have never wavered in the conviction that this people would ultimately work out a glorious destiny for Cedartown and Polk county. And why should not Cedartown be come the populous manufacturing and commercial city which is her manifest destiny, and which is so confidently predicted by the best informed people of the commonwealth of Georgia? Located in the center of a section the soil of wiiich is as fertile as that of the valley of the Nile, a climate witli no superior, surrounded by lulls and mountains whose bowels are filled to repletion with inexhaustible supplies of coal, iron, slate, limestone, manga nese and marble; with streams suffici ent to run the machinery of a Lowell Pittsburg; and a citizenship whose virtue, intelligence and enter prise will compare favorably with any upon the face of the globe, the condi tions here and the forces now at work must inevitably, as the day follows the night, build a city whose magnitude and civilization will eclipse the expec tations of the most sanguine. No community can ever become sub stantially great in the arts and civili zation engaged exclusively in the pro duction of crude material. But al ready the sound of the loom, the hum of machinery, and the tread of the artisan, coupled with the attainments of your sons and daughters in the school-room and the fields of litera ture, remind us that this town is being built upon a foundation of rock and that in the near future you will have a city which will challenge the respect and admiration of the world. Already within the portals of anew century, what mind has acumen suffi cient to penetrate into the future and divine the splendid achievements and high civilization that awaits this sec tion? You and I will play our little parts in this great drama, and ere long lie down and die and our deeds will be forgotten, but the forces and the spirit at work here will move on and on.in the march of development and civilization until the Caucasian race, in harmony with God’s laws and ail peoples, will continue to advan e, evolute and develop until man lias mastered all the forces of nature. As I have always been one of you, I can say that I ain glad that this is no longer a provincial town, but it is now cosmopolitan in character. Men from the old world are with you, and I see here representatives from almost every section of tile Union, and they are all our respected fellow citizens. With out option or election you and I were born' and reared here, but this is as much their country as mine or yours. They are equally responsible with you and me for good government and res pectable citizenship. It is not necessary .to say to you that the stranger is en titled to fair treatment and should be accorded ail the courtesies and arneni- DEATH • Q31ES rp' - To Sirs. J. C. Battle Thursday in Rome.
