Banks County Journal. vol 2. Bad Blood Is a Good liisj to be rid of, because bad blood is the breeding place of disfiguring and dangerous diseases. Is your blood bad ? It is if you are plagued by pimples or bothered by boils, if your skin is blotched by eruptions or your body eaten by sores and ulcers. You can have good blood, which is pure blood, if you want it. You can be rid of pimples, boils, blotches, sores and ulcers. How ? By the use of i Ager’s Sarsaparilla It is the radical remedy for all dis eases originating in the blood. Read the evidence : “Ayer’s Sarsaparilla was recommended to me by my physician as a blood purifier. When I began taking it I had boils all over my body. One bottle cured me.” — Bonner Craft, Wesson, Miss. “After six years’ suffering from blood poison, I began taking Ayer s Sarsapa rilla, and although I have used only three bottles of this great medicine, the sores have nearly all disappeared.” —A.

Prune Minister Sagasta practically admits Spain’s defeat in the following interview: “The situation is very simple, and, unfortunately, it cannot be concealed. Spain is desolated and nuned by her internal troubles. The United Slates is prosperous and increasing in riches and strength evciy day: “There is no use in saying this state of affairs is the fault of the present government. Would a monarchy have prevented the . great develop ment ot the United States? Ido not think so. A republic would have dona no better for Spain, and might have done- worse. “The United States have coveted Cuba for a long time; first, because of its strategic point, and second, so as to le masters of the inter oceanic trade. To attain this object, it has literally hesitated at nothing. “It knew slate of bur finance-' and took : v utage of .it to attack us, after having assisted the Cuban re volt, with the view to completing ruin and with the cut-nnd-dried plan of de daring war as it considered our ex haustion sufficiet'v advanced.” Interesting Facts.

A dispatch to The World from Ber lin says: Your correspondent has obtained from the highest authority the follow ing statement of the German official view of die international aspect of the conquest of tiie Philippines by the United States: “Germany does not entertain, nor is it likely that she will ever entertain the idea of protesting the American occupation of the Philippines. Neither has she joined nor will she join any combination of the powers with this object in view.” O,ir Mill Labor, North Carolina is in some reopens one of the most progressive of the of southern states. Her department of agriculture is well supported by thh state and has proved very effect ive in aiding the development of the ftate. The office of commissioner of labor has also been made very useful to North Carolina as it lias been con ducted in an intelligent and enterpris ing manner. Mr. J. V. Hamrick, the present ia bor commissioner, uas recently pub in official form the results of an ines tigation into the condition of labor n> the south. His reports interestind because of the discussion of the relative merits and advantages, of New Euland and the south as man ufacturing centers which lias been going on for several years past and will probably continue for some time to come. — TANARUS!

This yarn of childhood is related by The Washington Star: Six-year old Tommie was sent by his eldest sister to the cornea grocery to buy a pound of lump sugar. He played allies on his way to the store, and by the time lie arrived there he had forgotten what kind of sugar he was sent for. So he took home a pound of the granulated article. His eldest sister sent him back to the store to get lump sugas. After the prop rietor of the grocery shop had made the change for the little lad he on* gaged Tommie in conversation. “ Tommie,” said he, “I understand there is anew member of your fam ily?” “Yes, sir,” replied the kid; “I've got a little brother. “Well, how Ho you like that; hey?” inquired the grocery man. “Don,t 'ike it at all,” said Tommie; “rather have a little sister.” “Then, why don't you change him Tommie?,, “Well, we would if we could; but I don’t suppose we can.

The farmer is a happy man, Ilis life is free from care, With naught to make lus spirit sad Or make him want to swear; All day among the cockle burrs He gayjy grubs and hoes, And money never troubles him, Ui less ’tis what he owes. How sweet at early dawn of day To rise befoi the surf, And hustle briskly round the ham Till all tlie schores are done; To feed the cows, and milk them,"loo In brightly shining pails, The while they tread upon your corns And thump you with their tails. How sweet to hie into the field, From breakfast smoking ho', And chase a plow all day around A forty acre lot, And when it strikes against a stone, Drawn by horses stout, To have handles prance around And punch your daylight out How sweet at noon to lie at ease Beneath some spreading tree. And hold a secret session With an ardent bumble bee; And when your rheumatism makes Your legs refuse to go, How sweet to lie upon your back And watch your mortgage grow, And when the busy cares of day Have faded with tlie light, llow sweet to lie in peaceful sleep Throughout the dewey night, And to hear the paitner of your joys, At the first faint tinge of dawn, Short “Come, old granger, Lump voursftlf, Tue cows are in the corn.” —Exchange.

The price we challenge for ourselves is given us by others. Man is made great or little by his own will. —Schiller Let no man b- sorry he has done good, because others have done evil..

A Cure For Dy spepsia, " I was troubled with liver trouble, A my stomach '.-as out of order, & after eating my breakfast would throw up what I eat. It went on this way fo about two years. At last, after trying other remedies without any good effect I was induced to try Ramon s Liver Pills and lonic Pellets, After using one or two boxes I found myself in a hea thy condition. I use them occa sonaily yet, always when in need of pills. 1 consider them the best pill on the market, and feel safe in raying they are the finest things ever usod.- Johii Livesav, Luther, Hancock Cos. Tennessee. An Old Idea. Every day strengthens the belief of emi* neat physicians that impure blood is the cause of the majority of our diseases. Twenty-five years ago this theory was used as a basis for the formula ot Browns* Iron Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected by this famous old household remedy art sufficient to prove that the theory is correct, Browns 5 Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers. Advertise in the JOUR N A L Effect of tlie War on Cotton “ \V non a farmer setshiiiiseinora i.arm to hand struggle with ail overwhelming cotton crop, he necossarily consigns tho provision crop—the bread and meat supply—to the domain of chance. Under present conditions every consideration of self interest, every prompting of patri otism appeals against such a course. The generally accepted idea of war, ag riculturally speaking, is cheap cotton and high provisions. A war with Spain would almost paralyze our cotton trade, while the price of provisions would ad vance. In view of these facts, what will be the fate of tho man who pro duces a large cotton crop, for which he will get a low price, and who depends on buying the whole or even part of needed provisions for which he will pay s high price? It is scarcely necessary to say, aud while he has injured him self, he has also, to a certain degree, in jured his state and country, both of which are now looking to him to do Ilia duty in the struggle which is upon us. I know that some farmers may argue that as the general crop may be much reduced, now is the time to take the chance and put every available aero in cotton, but there was never a g favor mistake. If ever there was a year to increase the food crops and decrease the cotton, this is the year, for the reasons already given. THE FLOOD IK Tl t£ MISSISSIPPI also furnishes another argument with some farmers for planting a large cot ton crop iu Georgia. They reason that it will be so late when tho cotton crops in tho fertile Mississippi valley are planted, that the yield will be very much cut off. But they forget that in the year just past, there was ail almost un precedented flood in the valley and that the crop of ’“.17 was delayed almost later than was ever known before, certainly much later than the present flood can possibly do. Levees were swept away, property was destroyed and the making of a cotton crop in that sectiou seemed an almost hopeless undertaking. Geor gians and farmers in other states pre sumed on this and put in a big crop, but the valley planters were also busy. Sev eral weeks later than the present dato they too put in a big crop, and the con sequence was the largest general cotton crop on record and ruinously low prices. At present THE PRICE OF COTTON IS ADVANCING and this also may allure the unwary farmer into the error of overcropping himself. I have always maintained that tho true policy is to provide bountifully for every need of the farm, and then to put in just as much cotton as can be well managed. And that, rule still [ holds good. The mau who this is safe in any event, be the price of cotton high or low, because he is not compelled to sell himself to the provision dealer or merchant for bread and meat. He is also in a position to exercise his judg ment in the disposal cf his cotton —to sell or to hold, as circumstances _ sug gest. Were every farmer thus inde pendent the control of the cotton mar ket would be virtually where it be longs—that is in the hands of the pro oncers—rather than of the men who | deal iu “futures.” It has been well said, and it bas conic to be a fact, that not supply and demand for spot cotton affect the price, but supply and demand for “futures” establish the price, and this “future” market is controlled by professional operators and manipu lators, which could not be passible were each individual farmer able to sell or hold his cotton lib will. As things now Itand these operators are so suro if the entire cotton crop being on I should advise against buying dam. aged corn for feeding purposes. Just here I will taka occasion to no tify you and the other farmers of the state that much damaged corn lias been shipped into Georgia from the west, and those of you who are uufortunatoly forced to buy western corn should efi amine it carefully before purchasing, and reject all that is not absolutely sound, otherwise you endanger the I lives of your horses and mule3. —State j Agricultural Department milt sttsii mull, Atlnnta, Ga, Shirts, open bosom, 123 c Shirts with coll-r ami cuffs, 12|e (Plaited or Eanci) Shirts, plain, 10c Collars, 2£c Cuffs, per pair, So Ties, So Nightshirts, 10c Undershirts, 8c .Drawers, 8c Socks, per pair, So Handkerchiefs, 8e Silk Handkerchiefs, Sc White Coats, 10c Aprons, Sc Ladies’ Waists, 15c White Vests, 20c White Pants, 23 to SOc Tablecloths, 10c Napkins, 1c Towels, 5c Sheets, So Pillow Slips, Sc Spreads, 10c Face Curtains, 76 to' 82.00 Domestic and Glass Finish.
