ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT
ESTIMATES.
Washington, Nov. 7.—The Euro
pean war’s effect on the price of cot
ton and cotton seed has caused a loss
of about $430,000,000 to toe Ameri
can cotton producers this year, tbe
Bureau of Crop Estimates, of the
Department of Agriculture, an
nounced today.
The experts base their estimate
on the shrinkage of cotton prices
this year, compared to those ot
last year. The present prices are
the lowest recorded In sixtten years.
The reduced price, as compared

whose editorial on this subject was
reproduced in these columns yester

From It, we excerpt the following:
•‘The time has come for summary
penalty for those who broke the
faith. The Democrat:* and the
Democratic party should not recog
nize those who bolted as such, and
should refuse their Totes waen the
party is selecting officers In Geor

was advocated by Hutchens, et. al.
Let them form one, separa-p and dis
tinct from the Democrat". It may
result, as many people think in a cer
tain purification of Georgia politics.
It certainly will do away with the
Smith-Brown faction in >hc party,

price, and it will prevent the moral
degeneration of voters In Georgia,

State Is Democratic, of course, but
the party is in a seriously impaired

When you have found no remedy for the horrors that
oppress you during change of life, when through the long
hours of the day it seems as though your hack would break,
when your head aches constantly, you are nervous, de
pressed and suffer from those dreadful bearing down pains,
dort’t forget that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
is the safest and surest remedy, and has carried hundreds
of women safely through this'critical period.
Read what these three women say:
From Mrs. Hornung, Buffalo, N. Y.
Buffalo, N. Y.—“I am writing; to let you know how much your
medicine has ddne for me. I failed terribly during the last winter
and summer and every one remarked about my appearance. I suf
fered from a female' trouble and always had pains in my back, no
appetite and at times .was very weak.
“I was visiting at a friend’s house one day and she thought I needed
Lydia & Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I took it and have gained
eight pounds, have a good appetite and am feeling better every day.
Everybody is asking me what I am doing and I recommend Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. You may publish this letter if you
wish and I hope others who have the same complaint will see it and
get health from your medicine as I did.”—Mrs. A. Hornuno, 91
Stanton St, Buffalo, N. Y.
Was A Blessing To This Woman.
So. Richmond, Va.—“ I was troubled with a bearing down pain and
a female weakness and could not stand long on my feet. Of all the
medicines I took nothing helped me like Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound. I am now regular and am getting along fine. 3
cannot praise the Compound too much. It has been a blessing to me
and I hope it will be to other women.”—Mrs. D. Tyler, 23 West
dopton St, South Richmond, Va.
Pains in Side, .Could Hardly Stand.
Lodi, Wis.—“I was in a bad condition, suffering from a female
trouble, and I had such pains in my sides 1 could hardly move. Be
fore I bad taken the whole of one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound I felt better, and now I am well and can do a good
day’s work. I tell everybody what your medicine has done for me.”
Y - ' », Lodi, Wisconsin.

does justice to herself if she does not try this fa
mous medicine made from roots and herbs, it
has restored so many suffering women tohealth.
