Pills, Powders and Capsules Sometimes we need remedies other than physics for the sick and it is our opinion that the farmers are the one class that need something just now, so I am going to try and give them a few doses that I believe will be worth more to their system than any ordinary tonic would be. I have heard them kicking about the cotton ginners report, but that will not get them anything. You are all, doubtless, acquainted with it in substance if not in full, for it gives to the world the monthly production of your labor and an estimate of the the next month’s elso, and addition al estimates are made from time to time until the manufacturer has at his finger-tips, as it were, the entire output of your labor long before you begin to harvest it. The manufacturer knows from that report how* many bales there are on hand from one year’s end to the next. One of our earliest recolection, was 1 the hue and cry of ‘overproduction,’ but we have never yet found out: wh:v was a ‘normal production.’ THE CITY PRESSING CLUB Phone 172 Rear Corn’s Barber Shop Let us know when you have any garment to clean, press or ciye.

If it is just and fa r to have the producers results and estimates sent in and published monthly for the benefit of the stock gamblers and manufacturers, then why not com pel the manufacturer to make a re port similar to the ginners so that you will know how much cotton was consumed last month, this month and how much on hand, what will be the consumption next month, etc., Then the farmer and the cotton buyer should demand that the govern ment send out a monthly statement of the manufacturers results and then the over production howl that is so insistently alluded to by the so called friend of the farmer will have but little weight. Then Mr. Farmer, and then only, will you be in position to inF digent ly plan your crops so as to keep in the bounds of the actual needs of the manufacturer, and then you can set the urice on your product. Still : cannot help but think that you are largely responsible for these condi tions, as you are continually doing «: fS Ud- O* of. \7% Tf-B pvM Our Stock of Grocer ies is Fresh and com plete.
