AGRICULTURAL OPPORTUNITY.
SstsrigraUon Magazine Tells of
Thomas County's Advantages.
The February “Georgia," the
monthly magazine circulated by the
Georgia Bureau of Industries and
Immigration, says:
■‘industrious Thomasvtllc, the teat
of Thomas county, metropolis of
wire-grass Georgia and far-famed
winter resort among the pines, is
probably one of the best known of
the smaller cities of the favored
Southland. Thomasville is 350 feet
above the sea level in the midst of
a vast pine forest and possesses
many attractions for tourist and
homeseeker.
The lands of Thomas county are
fertile, good farms can be purchased
for from five to ten dollars per acre;
the county Is covered with a fine
belt of what was, a few years ago,
virgin round timber. This timber
has afforded material for,hundreds
of saw mills that art every day bit
ing iron teeth into its wood. Tho
output is hnndled through the plan
ing mills and large brokerage offices
located In Thomasville, the center
of the wholesale lumber trade of
Southwest Georgia.
“After the timber Is removed good
land fs left that will produce a hale
of cotton to the aero If hnndled with
care. The land will grow luscious
pears that bring rich returns, and
sugar cane, richer in saccharine mat
ter than any other known plant from
which sugar Is extracted. The yields
of watermelons and canteloupes are
largo aud profitable. In fact, If
rightly managed, the industrious
farmer has a money crop coming at
every season of the year, consisting
either of oats, rye, barley, sweet
potatoes, peanuts, grapes, peaches or
other small grains, fruits and ber
ries, all of which do well in this sec
tion.
“For cattle raising this is an ideal
country. Those pino lands will an
nually produce three crops of hay
and one crop of oats, or other for
age crops in equal abundance, the
short mild winters making It un
necessary to provide shelter for the
herds. There are at present some
twenty thousand head of cattle In
Thomas county.
'There are several smaller towns
In Thomas county among which may
be numbered busy Boston with Its
business boom, Pavo, Ochlockonee,
Merrillville, Coolldge, Metcalf, Bar-
wick and Meigs. The transportation
facilities of the county are splendid.
Three railways traverse It and the
convenient schedules enable you to
catch a train almost any where at
almost any time. A complete sys
tem of public roads, as near perfect
as human Ingenuity can devise, ra
diate through the county."
Of Grady county the following Is
related:
“Grady county Is one of the new
counties created from the counties
of Thomas and Dectur, by an act of
the last legislature. Grady contains
453 square miles with a population
ef 17,100 persons and taxable prop
erty to the value of two and a half
million dollars. The county lies on
a continuation of the hills that have
made the Piedmont region of Geor
gia famous for generations.
“The soil of the section Is very
fertile and Is capable of splendid re
sults under a careful system of fer
tilization and cultivation which the
farmers of the locality have learned
and adopted, it would appear, to
perfection.
'The celebrated "Georgia cane
syrup” has made Cairo, the site of
the new county famous the world
over. It is not uncommon for the
farmers of this Industrious commu
nity to make as high as 750 gallons
of syrup from an aero of‘cane. At
25c per gallon gross, this equals
$125.00 per acre, It Is therefore, not
to be wondered that the farmers of
this section have more than a quar
ter of a million dollars in the local
hanks. subject to their check, and
as much more loaned to bankers and
merchants at a low rate of Interest.
“Another thing that is making
Grady a famous county and giving
It a world wide reputation. Is the
old-time bine item collards grown
in the section. A noted Northern
seedsman whose name la a house
hold word all over the Union, fodnd
after trying In vain on his own
farm, near one of the large eastern
cities, that he had troidble with his
collard seeds. He distributed seeds
to farmers In every section of the
United States and requested them to
experiment..
“Among the farmers so favored
wero several from the neighborhood
of Cairo. This seedsman made care
ful teats and found that the best
results had beon obtained in Grady
county and he awarded a contract
accordingly; special care has been
taken of this branch of agriculture,
since, and Cairo now ships about a
carload of collard seeds annually,
valued at approximately five thous-1
and dollars. An acre will produce
about four hundred pounds of these
seed which, at the contract price of
25c per pound, amounts to $100.00
gross.
"Great pains are taken in the se
lection of the seed and In the custl-
vatlon of the far-famed Georgia rat
tlesnake watermelon by the farmers
of Grady county, and the result is n
demand greater than they can sup
ply. About four hundred carloads
of this luscious fruit are annually
shipped from the county.
"Cotton, oats, barley, rye and
small fruits and berries also form
a source of increasing revenue to
the planters of this section."
WITH BODY AXD SOUL
llev. J. A. Smith's Plea In Lecture
Before Mission Institute.
Pelham, On., Feb. 13.— (Special
dispatch to tile Tlmes-Euterprise.—,
That the missionary work of the
Methodist church is growing at fl
wonderful rate; that at the same
time the church Is steadily extend
ing the range of her ministry so as
o make It sweep the whole circle
of human needs, reckoning with
the body as well as with the soul,
were the strong features of a strong
address delivered here tonight by
Rev. James Allen Smith, pastor of
the Bnlnbrldge Methodist church.
The occasion was the Missionary In
stitute which has been In progress
hero for the past week under the
able direction of Rev. C. A. Curry.
A lange audience gathered to hear
Rev. Mr. Smith whose fame hs tho
Savannah Methodist orator had pre
ceded him. Rev. Mr. Smith Is In
great demand as a lecturer and only
a few weeks ago he delivered at)
address In Thomasville at the mis
sionary Institute held there.
In beginning his lecture the speak-
r said he would talk on Home Mis
sions. Tracing back to the early
days of Methodism In the South he
pointedly emphasized thg fact that
Wesley preached his first sermon iu
Savannah in March, 1836. "Thirty-
one years afterward tho Methodist
church,” continued Mr., Smith, "had
only 19,626 members In the South
'orgin Conference, bounded by
Macon, Florida, Augusta and Co
lumbus. In 1867 the entire confer
ence collected only $3,255.66 for
missions.
Missions in lOOff.
“But last year there were no less
than 72,921 members and the mis
sion collections amounted to no
less than $60,000. In the past year
the hlisslon Board put,$260 in one
man and one little mission (at
Morven) and look how It blossomed
forth! 125 new members, six new
churches and $2,500 raised In money
for all purposes.
"Our church has come to recog
nize the absolute necessity for
reaching the unchurched and the un
saved at any cost. In this connec
tion you see the work of Borne of
the Institutions hacked by the church
.tch as the Young Men’s Christian
Associations, a beautiful example
of which is not far from here. I
refer to Thomasville. The reading
rooms, the clubs, the gymnasium,
the banquet rooms and swimming,
pool—appeal to the body and why
not? Is not the body the temple of
the Holy Ghost? Should It be neg
lected?
Violation of Sabbath.
"Some may argue against collec
tions for missions because portions
will go to help the work in large
cities like Savannah, but my friends
such work la a laudable work It we
are to counteract the tendency of
‘Europeanizing’ the Sabbath day.
How aro we going to do It except
through the energy and zeal of the
people who live in smaller towns
and arc freer from this tempta
tion? It is a light right well worth
aiaklng- and the season Is right
NOW.”

T. A. Teate, of Thomasville, Ga.,
wrote us soon after using Doan's.
He said: “I had kidney disease so
bad I could hardly walk. I could
not carry ten pounds, my hack was
so weak and painful. I was per
suaded to try Doan's Kidney Pills
nnd the flrHt oox did me so much
good that I got a second and since
using them I have recovered my
health and strength and my back Is
so much stronger that I can carry
a heavy sewing machine on my
shoulders two hundred yards and
never feel it.”
On May 21, 1905, n year nnd two
months later, Mr. Teate wrote again,
us follows:
"Gentlemen:—Enclosed you will
And my photograph, I would not
take one thousand dollars for the
great good I have realized from less
thnn two boxes of Doan’s Kidney
Pills. You know It is a wonderful
thing for a man to Increase In flesh
from ono hundred nnd forty-five to
one hundred nnd eighty-six pounds
in the short Bpnce of six months, and
to feel strong nnd In perfect health.
That Is Just my Use, and It was
Doan's Kidney Pills that did it, be
cause they cured tho kidney trouble
which kept my weight down and my
health poor. Everybody that sees
me Is astonished at the wonderful
change, and lots of my friends hard
ly knew me. Some of them ex
claimed: ‘What In the world have
you been using to make you look so
healthy? I have Invariably told
sufferers the wonderful effect of
Doan's Kidney PUIb. I thought I
had liver troublo which kfept me so
poorly, but I found It was my kid
neys, and I honestly believe that the
majority of people in this country
have weakened kidneys In one form
or another. You can see from tho
photograph I enclose that I am now
strong and well again.

LEGITIMATE COXCKHNS.
Supreme Court Says Dealers in Fu
tures Cannot tic Prosecuted.
Atlanta, Ga. Feb. 16.—The Su
preme Court decided today that
bucket shops ought not to be crim
inally prosecuted for gaming or
dealing in futures, since the General
Assembly licenses them, at $1,000,
to do business.
The decision la far-reaching, and
.will stop the prosecution of such
places here.
The court holds that as bucket
shops are legalized by the General
Assembly, the . criminal statute
against them is practically null.
The case waH that of W. F.
Shropshire, an Atlanta man, who
sued Miller ft Co. for tho recovery
of $490 dropped In their place on
cotton futures.
MEN PAST SIXTY IN DANGER.
More than half mankind over sixty
years of age suffer from kidney and
bladder disorders, usually enlarge
ment of prostate gland. This Is botU
painful and dangerous, and Foley’s
Kidney Cure should be taken-'at the
first sign or danger, as It corrects
Irregularities and has cured many
old men j>t this disease. Mr. Rod
ney Burnett, Rock Port, Mo., writes:
"I suffered with enlarged prostate
gland and kidney trouble for years
and after taking two bottles of Fo
ley’s Ktdnsy Care I feel better than
I have for twenty yean although I
am now 91 years old.”

Something New in Magazine Making
THE SCRAP BOOK is the most, elastic thing that ever happened in the way of a
magazine—elastic enough to carry anything from a tin whistle to a battleship. Every
thing that appeals to the human brain and human heart comes within its compass—fiction,
which is the backbone of periodical circulation; biography, review, philosophy, science;
art, poetry, wit, humor, pathos, satire, the weird, the mystical—everything that can be
