Butts county Boys Corn club
members stand right at the head
of the list this year.
Atlanta never did a nobler deed
than when she raised $20,000 for
the associated charities.
LaGrange will have anew cot
ton mill to cost $500,000. Doesn’t
look like hard times, does it?
The members ot the Boys Corn
clubs are blazing a trail that their
fathers would do well to follow.
Now is a mighty good time for
the people of Butts county to en
gage in the live stock industry
on a large scale.
Credit has been too cheap, too
easy to obtain, in this country.
One result of the war will be the

This country needs a “debt

and soon there will be lots of can
celed debts and better business.
The State Press
Satisfaction
Savannah Press:
McClure is said to be satisfied
with the result in Georgia. So
are we.
The Prosperous
Albany Herald:
The Middle West is enjoying
the greatest prosperity in its his
tory. While theeffects of Europe’s
war are seen over practically
the whole face of the earth, the
results showing in trade demor
alization and swelling ranks of
the unemployed, the Middle West,
which produces food crops but
no cotton or lumber, is fairly roll
ing in wealth. The prices of all
food crops have advanced steadi
ly since the outbreak of the war
in Europe, and the chances are
they will continue to advance
steadily. Money is more plenti
ful in this fortunate region than
in years, and progress and devel
opment are proceeding on nor
mal lines.
Corn in the Crib
Charles J. Haden:
With meat in the smoke-house,
wheat in the bin, corn in the
crib and cotton as a cash reserve,
we would hold the most impreg
nable financial fort on earth.
Whenever we are able to hold or
sell cotton at our discretion we will
have the last word about the
price. As against wars and pan
ics, we are then ready as is the
spider when he whiffs the gale
and tightens his cord against the
the storm and comes through
triumphant.
Cheer up
Albany Herald:
If it did any good—if it helped
matters at all—there would be
some excuse for pessimism and
hard-times talk. But it does only
harm. So cheer up! If you can’t
feel happy, put up a bluff. At
least talk as if you felt happy.

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLU66ISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile,
Making You Sick and
You Lose a Day’s Work
Cfalomel salivates! It’s mer
cury. Calomel acts like dyna
mite on a sluggish liver. When
calomel comes into contact with
sour bile it crashes into it, caus
ing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy,
constipated and all knocked out,
just go to your druggist and get
a 50c bottle of Dodson’s Liver
Tone, which is a harmless veget
able substitute for dangerous
calomel. Take a spoonful and if
it doesn’t start vour liver and
straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and
and without making you sick,
you just go back and get your
money. , ...
If you take calomel today you 11
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
besides, it may salivate you,
while if vou take Dodson’s Liver
Tone you will wake up feeling
great, full of ambition and ready
for work or plav. It’s harmless,
pleasant and safe to give to chil
dren; they like it.
More Goats Wanted
Lawrenceville News-Herald:
An authority claims that what
this country needs is more goats.
The Lord be praised for the great
light. That’s right. Let us have
the free and unlimited coinage
of goats until the per capita of
goats is 16 to 1 man and perhaps
eur scents will do what our dol
lars haven’t been able to do. Hur
rah for more goats, bigger goats
and more ramperageous goats.
Democratic Opposition
Macon Telegraph:
About the only thing definitely
indicated by Tuesday’s election
is that the Democrats will have
to fight a united opposition two
years hence. The Republicans
are getting together again and
Roosevelt will hardly be able to
tear them asunder unless extra
ordinary conditions intervene.

The Man Who Knows How
to put an auto in shape “is not nu.
merous” but there are plenty who
claim to have the ability. Expert,
practical mechanical knowledge is #
absolutely necessary, and it takes
time to acquire the necessary skill.
We make a specialty of Automobile
repairs of all kinds, and also keep a
full line of the “right kind” of sup
plies, on which you may depend.
