Judge John W. Akin made a
phenomenal race in his candidacy
for the legislature in Bartow coun

2116. Bartow will be well repre

The coronation of King Edward
will take place in London today
and preparations have been made
for the greatest pageant ever wit

When Bartow county nominated
John W. Akin for the legislature
she made no mistake. John is one
of the ablest men in the county,
and will make a record, we feel
confident that his constituents will
be proud of. We need more such
timber in the Georgia legislature.
Col. J. J. Conner, the other nom

the old county officers, from cor

putting out of business some mighty
good officers, but those who take
their place are just as competent.

The new court house is assum
ing magnificent proportions, and
this should remind the people of
Bartow that it must be paid for.
Thoughtful attention should be
given to the best method of raising
the necessary money. The bond
election will be held on Thursday,
the xoth day of July, and every
voter in the county should make it
a point to go to the polls and vote
for bonds, as this is the simplest
and easiest way to meet the debt.
If the bonds should fail to carry,
the special tax for the court house
will be about ten dollars on the
thousand and will be a heavy bur
den on many people. With a bond
issue the special tax will be about
fifty cents on the thousand. Vote
for bonds.
I. W. Turner,formerly postmaster
at Lyons, N. Y., has bee convicted
and sent to jail for kicking a small

notorious a few years ago by the
manner in which he secured his
appointment as postmasteratLyons.
The cemetery was badly in need of
attention. The fences were down
and the piace was overrun with
weeds. Turner got out a petition
in favor of cleaning up the cemetery
and placing it in good order.

candidates for the postmastership.

INDEPENDENCE IN COTTON.
The grip obtained upon thous
ands of growers in the four or five
years immediately succeeding the
war will not be relaxed without a
struggle on the part of those who
gain by it, whether or not cotton
is raised at a great cost or at small.
But it is possible for the grip to be
gradually loosened until it has
ceased to be a burden. The pro
cess of loosening is through the
raising of more corn and more
bacon by the cotton growers them
selves. High prices of foodstuffs
in the south are shared by the rest
of the country, and while they may
be partly due to the artificial in
fluence of combines of the handlers
of meat products, the opportunity
of the combines came with a short
age both of live stock and of the
food of live stock. Southern cot
ton growers have the remedy for
themselves in their own hands
within the next year or two. They
ought to be in a position, and many
of them may reach it, to be inde
pendent of. the prices of foodstuffs,
and consequently to enjoy the
greater benefit should the reign of
high prices which seems likely to
prevail for several years, extend to
cotton. —Southern Farm Magazine.
GEORGIA CROP RcPORT
Compiled by the Department
of Agriculture.
CONDITIONS AND AVERAGES.
Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens
Gives an Interesting Resume of the
Outlook for Crops Throughout the
Different Sections of the State.
The June Crop Report by the Geor
gia Department of Agriculture:
Although conditions are not as favor
able as could be desired, there is great
improvement in many respects over
those that prevailed one year ago.
Corn and cotton, the great staple crops
of Georgia, are doing well in most
sections. There is some increase in
the acreage of corn, and a decrease in
that of cotton; but the conditions and
prospects of both are fairly good.
The outlook for sugar cane and ric*
Is encouraging.
The products of our great commer
cial orchards were cut short by late
frosts, but it is hoped that the fruit
which escaped will, by reason of ad
vanced prices, reward abundantly the
care and labor of the orchard men.
This is especially true of the peach
crop. Apples, pears and plums are
far from promising, though there are
some few exceptions to this statement
The melon crop In some places is
not up to the average; in others it is
doing well.
Grapes are fine in most sections, and
in some far above the average.
Gardens have suffered much for lack
of rain, but good showers in some
localities have revived those that were
failing by reason of drought.

Many a forlorn maid has said this as she

session in the lottery of human life which

BRADFIELD’S
Female Regulator
for young girls on the threshold of woman
hood is invaluable. When they become
pale and languid, the eyes dull, aching
head, feet and hands cold, appetite gone
or abnormal, obstructed periods and pain
ful menses, and their systems generally
run down, they need a tonic, building uj
and their blood cleansed.
Bradfield’s Female Regulator for women
is particularly valuable and useful owing
to its tonic properties and as a regulatoi
of the menstrual flows. Painful, obstruct
ed and suppressed menstruation is perma
nently relieved and all diseases peculiar
to her genital organs are cured by it.
Regulator clears the complexion, bright
ens the eye, sharpens the appetite, re
moves muddy and blotched conditions oi
the skin and cures sick headache at once.
