OWN YOUR CROP
INSTEAD OF OWE IT
Food And Grain Crops Will Make
Agricultural South Independent,
Says H. G. Hastings
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—The cred
it system under which the agricultu
ral south works and stays poor is an
alyzed in a striking way by H. G.
Hastings of Atlanta, chairman of the
agricultural committee of the Cbam
ber of Commerce, and a member of
the executive council of the South
eastern Fair. He does not mince
words in talking about the situation.
“Every season during the last fifty
years,” he says, “there has been trou
ble in the cotton belt whenever the
crop was large and the price low, or
the crop short. Each time the cry of
hard times goes up, and the reason
back of it is that the farmers cannot
get enough money to pay their debts
out of their so-called cash crop—cot
ton. It is disheartening because it is
so absolutely unnecessary.
“A cotton farmer’s debts are large
ly for food and grain, charged up
against him on the merchants’ books
at two to three times the price that
those same items could be produced
on his own acres, and usually without
serious interference with a crop of cot
ton as large as he now makes.
“The trouble is that most cotton
farmers owe their crop instead of
owning it when made.
“The credit way looks the easy
way, but it strangles most farmers
before they get through life.
“I have said repeatedly in public
addresses that no state or section of
any country can be prosperous that
is regularly dependent on another
section for its food supplies. What
is true of a state or section is true
of the individual farmer.
"The great exhibits of grain, hay
and food products shown at the South
eastern Fair held in Atlanta in No
vember, give the lie to the statement
that these things cannot be grown
here at home successfully and prof
itably.
“A good big home garden kept
planted and rightly tended through
the season will produce half of the
living besides furnishing an abund
ance for canning or drying from the
aurplus.
“When we make our food and grain
we will have few or no debts at the
store; we will own instead of owe
our crops when made, and farm
wealth will accumulate in the south
Instead of farm and crop mortgages.”
GEORGIA MAN IS
RESCUED IN TIME.
Resident of Woodstock Finds Him
self Restored After His Physi
cians Failed.
T. A. Lewis, who lives out on Rt
3, Woodstock, Ga., was the victim of
stomach troubles for a long time. He
tried the treatment of many doc
tors. He tried all sorts of remedies/
His sufferings were a serious hand
icap to his work.
Then he tiled Mayr’s Wonderful
Remedy. Just as it always doe3,
the first dose proved to him what
could be done for his ailment; then
wrote:
”1 have taken your wonderful rem
edy and am feeling better than 1
have felt in four years.
“Your remedy does just what you
claim it will do.
“1 tried several doctors, but they
did me no good. 1 am glad that I
have found your wonderful remedy.
1 have recommended it to some of
my neighbors who need it.”
Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy gives
permanent results for stomach, liver
and internal ailments. Eat as much
and whatever you like. No more dis
tress after eating, pressure of gas in
the stomach and around the heart.
Get one bottle of your druggist now
and t.y it on an absolute guarantee

WINDER EDUCATIONALLY.
The county site of Barrow ha
raany r thing® of which it i justly
proud. There is no finer agricultural
section surrounding any city in the
great old Empire State. Her church
buildings class up with any city her
size ni the state. Her citizens boast
of magnificent business enterprises,
banks, trust companies, cotton mills,
overalls plants, telephone companies
and real estate firms. Her lawyers
are among the foremoat of the state.
Her physicians experts in various
medical fields, all of which we are
justly proud.
But we specially glory in our edu
cational facilii.es. No citizen of
Winder, but who steps just a lirttle
more proudly and gives his chin a
bit of a lilt when he talks of the
handsome new' school building which
is rapidly going up a/nd' when com
pleted will be one of the mostj com
modious and up-to-date in Georgia.
In fact Georgia is first in the edu
cational field in all the South.
In the educational world Prof.
J. P. Cash ranks as a leading
school man. Superintendent of the
county schools Holsenbeck reports
splendid work in ail the schools. Com
par iso ns for the good of the masses
are neVesr odious, hence read the fol
lowing table of government statistics.
And) be glad you live in Barrowi and
rejoice that you are an inhabitant oi

TO BOOST BARROW COUNTY.
There is a movement on foot to
place Barrow county on the progres
sive map; and herald to the world
the unexcelled opportunities foi
home-seekers, diversified farmers; cli
matic conditions, etc., together with
many great openings for various
lines of manufacturing from the
crude material which w ; e can produce
The movement is being organized
by “Booster” Hathaway, who has Hat
much expc rience in town site devel
opment in various parts of the Unit
ed States.
His first plan is to raise the nec
essary funds to promote the organi
zation; and instead of getting out a
subscription and undertaking to se
cure the amount from the very' few
enterprising men who are alwayl,
ready and willing to help move th#
wheels of progress, he has secured
the services of a fewi talented young
men of our city, who are also deep
ly interested in our city and coun
ty’s progress, and who are artists o
the theatrical stage. These young
men will give a home talent minstrel
at the court house on Friday night,
January 14. Doors open a t 7:30. The
popular prices of admission, 15 and
25 cents will be charged.
All net proceeds over and above
actual expenses will be used for the
purpose of completing the organiza
tion to be known as the “Barrow'
County Booster Club.”
It is hoped a large attendance will
•. present to help start this booster
proposition, by casting your mite for
au evening’s pastime.
For further particulars, cast oi
characters, etc, see small bills.

Atlanta, Ga., January 4. —If the L.
& N. railroad is determined to play
the part of the dragon breathing fire
and defiance against fair Georgia, it
looks as if Attorney General Clif
ford Walker is going to enact the
role of Saint George, by twisting the
monster’s tail and saving the lovely
lady.
Aided by able assistants especial
ly appointed for the work, the at
torney general has already enjoined
•
the railroad from publishing notices
of the contemplated changes in its
charter and every step of the road
to gain the right to parallel the W •
& A. will be blocked, by legal means,
according to the confident expression
from the attorney general’s office...

tion for the treatment of all
headaches and neuralgia.

tic over it and its beneficial
results.
