Dr. Len Eroughton’s last Sunday
sermon: "The church upends Its
time discussing how' to do a thing,
while the devil la Just doing it.
Preachers come together and discuss
how to reach the masses, while
devil out yonder is carrying the
masses to hell. He knows there is
but one way to reach the masses,
and that is to reach them. No
church will ever reach the manes
until it goes after them. Ton may
read and preach and pray as much
as fou please, but until you take
off your kid gloves and go down
among the people you will never get
them."
Mrs. A. J. Stanley, a woman ol

WIDER COTTON MARKET.
Senator Clay’s measure now pend
ing before the Dotted States Sen
ate, to Increase the foreign cotton
markets for cotton, is one that de
serves the closest attention of the
national lawmakers and that should
be passed without debate. It ^ls
now a recognised fact that to the
cotton fields of the south the en
tire nation is to look In the years
to come for a very large part of
the material prosperity of this coun
try. It is now known that it is
entirely possible for the farmers of
the south, It the demand were suffi
cient, to produce twice as much
cotton as the world now consumes.
It Is also known that in the manufac
ture and sale of cotton goods there
is a good profit, and that In the man
ufacture and sale of the finer goods
there is still greater profit.
If it could be brought to pass that
the markets of the world could be
extended, that the demand tor cot
ton goods could be largely in
creased, that the demand for the
finer cotton fabrics could be doubled,
then there would be an incentive
and a neeesslty for ;he growing of
more cotton and for the erection of
more cotton mills... If it could' be
brought to pass thai the consump
tion of cotton the world over could
be doubled, then there would tp
room for the ralelng of twice as
much cotton as at present and for
twice as msny spindles and looms.—

HOME COOKING.
Stories from the- Oreene-Gaynot
Jurors continue to fill the newsps-
pers and are read with Interest by
their friends In Thomas county from
where four of them come. It Is re
lated that the flesh pots of the De-
Soto do not cult the Jurors and that
they are pining for good old South
Georgia cooking. They have been
furnished with ham, eggs and grits,
every morning for breakfast, but no
hotel chef can put up those articles
to make them taste like home. We
feel sorry for the jurors. This is
the season of chitterlings and coun
try sausage, of buckwheat cakes
and Georgia syrup, of corn bread,
greens, buttermilk, and broiled
chicken. ,
All these are things that money
cannot buy, and Uncle 8am with alf
his treasury cannot purchase home-
cooking for the jurors. It seems
that they are bearing up well under
the strains however, and are able
to tell fishing and hunting stories
with ancient seal. One of the Jurors
says that he has shot enough fish
with his rifle to fill one of the rooms
at the hotel. That sounds good
enough to have come from the llpe
of one of th<v Thomas countlans.
In the time of their dreary servitude
a home-made boecake or a slab of
ginger cake, sent by a friend would
be like a cup of cold water to a

FRUIT GROWING.
This week will witness' s gather
ing of fruit'growers of: Georgia at
Macon. This Is a branch of agri
culture that is receiving more at
tention than in the past and that is
bound to receive yet greater atten
tion in the future. The high
price of cotton should not be al
lowed to divert the attention of the
farmer from this very profitable side
line. Georgia fruit growers have
met with continued success for the
past five yesrs. Not only the ship
pers have benelltted but those who
market their crbps at home have
found that dollars drop from the
trees and vine*
Thomas county Is particularly fa
vored as a fruit growing locality.
The blackberry grows wild in abund
ance and the finest strawberries In
the world grow right here. The
South Georgia watermelon la fa
mous the world over and the i pear
orchards yield good returns. There
Is money in fruit growing and a lit
tle care in cultivating Is all that
Is necessary to bring it to the pocket
of the producer.
The divorce question is one of
the most perplexing problems of
modern times. A Baptist preacher
In North Georgia Is suing for a le

who is at Mllledgevllle. This Is
the same thing that Henry M. Flag-
ner did, by having the Florida legis
lature pass a special law to that
effect. In addition to'his divorce
Mr. Flagler (and the legislature,
too,) obtained the cordial condem
nation of the civilised world. A
more encouraging light comes from
Chics go where a Montana million
aire has been convicted of perjury
end sentenced to prison in the mst-
ter of one of those little convenient
Dakota divorces. There Is a good
chance for some one to win feme by

problem. So far as we can see it
ts too easy to get married and too
easy to get divorced. Doth pro
cesses ought to be made a little mord
difficult.
The Alabame Immigration Com

ahead of Georgia. The effect of new
blood and new energy upon the in-

by no means small. Now Georgia
has no official immigration bureau.
The railroads have a commission
that Is doing excellent work along
that line. The major portion of this

Boston, Qa., Jan. 24.—Anothsr de
lightful occasion which was In har
mony with Boston's noted hospitali
ty was the roysl reception tendered
the Epworth League by Rev. N. T.
Pa (ford and wife at the parsonage
on last Thursday evening. It was
replete with pleasure and good cheer
from Its Inception to its close. The
repast consisted of oysters, inter
spersed with all necessary adjuncts
to tempt the appetite of the many
who graced th^ festal board. After
the various refreshments were served
then came different games, question
cards, etc., in which all present par
ticipated with a hearty good will.
It was one of those ‘‘recherche’’
affairs which has a tendency to dis
pel the many vicissitudes of every
day life and lead us into ways of
pleasantness and joy. Brother Pgf-
ford and wife were constant and un
ceasing in their efforts to make all
pleasure lmmaginable to their multi
tude of guests and they succeeded
most admirably. It Will long be
remembered as an oasis in life’s
weary pilgrimage and a lasting sou

A. 3. Stickner Is c railroad pres
ident who is In favor of the covem-
meuc regfrifitfag rater. Addressing
the Comrrrr. lal Leagso of Minneso
ta a few days ado, Sttckney ad
vanced a new idea about “water”
in the value of property. He said:
The prosperity of the railways and
the prosperity of the people are as
Indissolubly bound together as the
two halves of the growing apple.
Cut them asunder, destroy the pros
perity of one, and the prosperity
of the other will wither.
In the discussion of the railroad
problem much is made by some advo
cates of legislative control of the
"water” which the capitalisation of
many railroad companies contain.
It Is well known that the capital
value of the farms and other fixed
property of the Nation contains about
one part of actual cash cost to ten
or more parts of “water” In the
proudest reorganised rallwsy com
panies. Farms and other fixed prop
erty, with a capital containing one
part of cash to ten or more parts
of “water” are permitted by law
to earn Interest if they can—and
they generally do—upon their entire
capital value, “water" as well ad
cash, and as long as the majority
of the universal partnerships are
permitted to earn dividends on the
larger proportion of “water” in the
capital value, of their property, all
falrmlnded men must admit that'll
would be unfair for them to pro
vide by the law that the minority
partners should not earn dividends
on the smaller proportion of "wa
ter” In their capital value.
“Increased capital value of the
farm has not Increased the edrnlngs
of the farm. But it Is slightly In
creased earnings and tbelarge 'de
crease In interest rates for money
In the last twenty years which has
so enormously Increased capital
value of the farm and other prop
erty, as well as railway property.
Hence there Is nothing In the “wa
tered" stock argument which fair-
minded men will regard as Justifi
cation of legislative control of rail
way rates.
President Stickney declared that
the real foundation of liberty was a
fair distribution of property In the
hands of the people and ways have
assumed the common law obligation
of common carriers have voluntari
ly subjected their property to a pub
lic use, it is fair and right to con
trol their rates by law, and because
railways sre monopolies, the law
of self preservation, as well as fair
ness and justice, demands that the
people through the Government,
should control railway rates ^>y law.
Such laws, however, In order to be
fair and effective, must be Intelli
gent and directed to the substantial
facts, which are the basis for rea
sonable rates. At-present the basis
of reasonable rates and just rates
is unknown, ad.

People Quickest Means to

question, “What Is good for bron
chitis?” answered, “For years old

known to possess the most remarka

for throat, bronchial, a'nd lung
troubles of anything known to med

which enveloped its curative princi

people to take enough of It Into
their system to combat a thorough

the system and upsetting the stom

“Now, however,” continued Mr.

PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
By a User of Plant Juice, Who Tells
of Its Wonderful Effect.
Another gentleman comes forward
to testify to the wonderful results
obtained from taking Plant Juice.
He begins by saying that his wife
had been III for more than five years,
that he had spent hundreds of dol
lars for medicines and medical treat
ment, all to no purpose, and that
she gradually declined until he had
almost given up hope of her recov
ery. Ten days ago he heard of the
Plant Juice remedies sold by Col.
Dillingham and he decided to try
the treatment.
He bought one bottle of Plant
Juice and prevailed upon Susan
Jane to try It. She willingly did
so, but with the usual misgiving
created by the continual failures of
all other medicines she had taken
In the last seven years. A few doses
seemed to give her relief. She kept
up the treatment, and each day her
condition improved. She had grown
better each day since she began tak
ing the Plant Juice and Mr. Depew
stated that she was then in better
health than she had been for six
years. It could have been no other
medicine than Plant Juice that
brought about the relief, for she had
taken nothing else. Mr. Depew
wanted the public to know the good
Plant Juice had accomplished for
his wife, and be took this occasion
to publicly acknowledge Its effica
cy, and he thanked Col. Dillingham
with all his heart for his good for
tune in having sufficient faith In
the remedies to give It a trial.
Mr. Depew spoke, with great ear
nest In telling his experience with
Plant Juice and took occasion to say
that if all people were aa frank as
he to acknowledge the true results
of the treatment of Plant Juice,
there would be less suffering anions
the people and more of v tbem would
be happy.
and physicians agree that It Is tip
greatest cure for all throat, bron
cblal and lung troubles known ’
medicine.”
Miss Anna Ray writes us that af
ter suffering for five years ‘ will
bronchitis, and trying all kinds of
medicines without- relief, Vlnol
cured her, and we have hundred'
of just such letters.
We wish every person suffering
from chronic colds, coughs, bron
chltis, and every aged, weak,’ or con
valescent person who needs a heal
ing, strength-creating and blood
making tonic would try Vlnol on on
guarantee to return the purchase
money if It falls.” R. Thomas. Jr-
