With cotton at present prices a lot of people refused to tear their shirts over politics, anyway. The Progress-Argus wants to see Jackson have the best cotton and cotton seed market in Geor gia this season. Well, it was no easy matter to vote for the judges of the court of appeals. There so were many good men running. Is all the bitterness, all the friction, all the charges and coun ter charges of a political cam paign worth the price? A fellow can’t help but think, sometimes, that if elections came once about every ten years the country would be better otT. Hon. J. VV.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S CASTORIA A WORTHY APPEAL Dr. E. F. Dempsey, who has charge of the Loan Fund of Em ory College has been quite busy with this wise and helpful featui e of our Georgia Methodism. The good this fund has done is not to be stated either in syllables or figures. Some of the best men in Georgia Methodism today were enabled by this fund to get a col lege education, and their service has been worth many times over what the liberal minded have put into the fund. There are now more than twenty young men de siring to go to college on this fund —they will not be able to go without help, and the help must come from the Emory Loan Fund if it comes at all. If these young men could be furnished through the Loan Fund a sufficientamount of loan to begin their college work, the probabilities are that they will manage to go through before they quit college. Will not the liberal men and women of the state open their purses and give Dr. Dempsey the money he so much needs? Remember that this is in fact a Loan Fund— the student who borrows pays back what he borrows, with in terest after he leaves college, and then comes another and another and so on. It is a sum of money that never stops in its beneficent work for the education of the poor. Help! And help now, as Emory opens Sept. 20.—Rev. W. C. Lovett, D. D., in The Wesley an Christian Advocate.

Park of the State Board of Health Mosquitoes do not hatch in any place except in stagnant water. Therefore, any campaign lodged against the mosquito nuisance and peril must be directed against stagnant water. A tin can full of water can hatch enough mosqui toes to torment a neighborhood, and “as many as nineteen thous and eggs and mosquitoes have been found in a rain barrel atone time. ’’ Due to the fact that we have buy Cheaper :o pay more.

A burden at night when bedtime c Jines. Just as bothersome in the morning. Ever try Loan's Kidney Pills for it? Know they are for kidney backache —and for other kidney ills? J f you don’t, some Jackson j>eople do. Read a case of it: \V. T. Burke, Oak St., Jackson, says: “Heavy lifting and straining caused my kidneys to get out of order. The kidney secretions sometimes pass ed too frequently and were scanty. They also contained sediment. My back finally commenced to ache and grew worse until I couldn’t keep going. I had rheumatic pains all through my body and I was so sore and lame that I could hardly get out of bed. I doc tored and tried all sorts of medicine, but with no results. I finally used Doan’s Kidney Pills and they soon put my kidneys in good condition. The pains left my back and the kidney se cretions passed regularly.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim ply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Burke had. Foster-Mil burn Cos., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. adv had so much rain this summer, it is highly probable that there will be an unusually large number of mosquitoes pretty soon unless people get busy immediately and rid their premises and neighbor hood of water that has been left standing in ditches, gutters, cans, barrels, old bottles, hollow places in trees, and the like. When pools cannot be drained enough kerosene or other oily substances should be poured upon them to form a film upon the sur face. This causes the young mosquitoes, or wriggle-tails, as they are commonly called, to suf focate, as it stops up the little breathing tubes which the wrig glers send up to the surface of the water for their air supply. By cutting off the air the larvae are killed. Weeds and dense shrubbery should be cut down and burned as such things often form refuges for the fully developed insects and causes them to accumulate in large numbers about the house. Houses, including basements, should be kept screened until well into the winter time, other wise some mosquitoes will get in the house where they will be kept alive through the winter and upon the appearance of spring will go forth to replenish the race. p Straw Hats in February— Suppose an old maid aunt died in midwinter and left you a carload of straw hats. Would you try to sell ’em THEN? No sir-ee bob, you wouldn’t! You’d everlast ingly wait till spring to dispose of those straw hats. Nobody wants to buy straw hats when it’s snowing. One thing about selling whatever you’ve got: You must put it on the market when the market’s CALLING for it. Either that, or you sell for whatever the specula tor’s willing to pay, and the other fellow makes the profit. Up till last year, when we put up our compress here in Atlanta and built our million-dollar ware house for 250,000 bales of cotton —up till last year we folks around here had been trying to sell our WHOLE cotton crop in FOUR MONTHS —and the world takes A YEAR to use it! Of course the market got heavy every fall, and the price sagged till spring. By that time the speculators had all the cotton; and consequently THEY got all the real profits. Selling all our cotton at once is like trying to eat a week’s rations for Monday morning’s breakfast. It’s foolish, and it gives the market indi gestion. The way to avoid that loss is to warehouse your cotton with us at our low storage and insurance and handling charges. Imperishable as it is, cotton in good and responsible storage is gilt-edged security anywhere - if it’s covered by a sure-enough negotiable receipt. Take our receipt, GUARANTEED by us, to your banker and borrow on it close up under the market at reasonable interest; or let us get the loan for you without commission. Then you can hold till the cows come home! When the buyers want your cotton and offer a price that suits, you’ve got it to sell. We even help you to sell, without commission. Lot* of folks were wise enough to do this last fall. Hoi l) much do you reckon they’ve made ? ATLANTA WAREHOUSE CO. ASA G. CANDLER. President.
