LONG COTTON MEN
TO DISCUSS PEST
Valdosta, Dec. 12.—The sea island
cotton growers’ boll weevil confer
ence, which State Entomologist E. L.
Worsham has called for January 24
in this city, is expected ot be the most
important and largest attended meet
infi he long staple men have ever had.
The conference is given publicity by
the state department of agriculture
and the Valdosta chamber of com
merce. -
This section is regarded as the heart
of the sea island cotton belt of Geor
gia and Florida, and growers from
both states will be here for the Meet
ing. It is announced that the state de
parment of agriculture has succeeded
in propagating, on the experiment
farm near this city, a species of sea
island cotton, which may be grown
early enough to outwit the boll wee
vil. On account of its slower grown
and longer life, it has been feared sea
island cotton would be almost wholly
destroyed by the weevil and the an-|
nouncement that a quick-growing va
riety has been evolved is of transce-}
dent importance throughout the sea
island belt. The results achieved byi
the expert working here, in the selec
tion of seed methods of cultivation,
harvesting, ginning and marketing,
will be made public at the conference
to be held in January and the inter-l
est being expressed in the meeting |
indicates that the cotton growers re-!
alize that the future of the sea island
industry depends largely on the re-|
sults of the experiments made here. i

CHANGES IN PROTOCOL
WANTED BY CARRANZA '
Laredo, Texas, Dec. 12.—Alberton Al
‘Pani, member of the joint American-
Mexican commission which considered
border problems at Atlantic City, ar
rived here today from Mexico and left
for Washington, where he expects to
arrive Wednesday afternoon. He de
clined to discuss the protocol which h 2
carried to General Venustiano Carran
za, and would neither affirm nor deny
that Carranza had signed the docu
ment.
Mr. Pani, replying to a direct ques
tion as to whether or not the proto
col had been signed ,said out of de
ference to his colleagues on the joint
commission, he must observe silence
until he reaches Washington and con
ferred with them.
Private advices received here, how
ever, stated that General Carranza has
not signed the protocol, but that Mr.
Pani is carrying a reply from Carran
za requesting a few minor changes in
phraseology. It was said the document
as a whole met with the General’s ap
proval, and that with the changes de
sired having been made, arrangements
for his signature would be authorized
} by telegraph.
. Mr. Pani and his party of five, in
cluding two secretaries, reach Nuevo
Laredo shortly after 11 o’clock and
were escorted to the American side
of the border by Alanzo B. Garrett,
United States consul. Their private
car was attached ot a northbound train
which left at 12 o’clock. It was stated
that none of the party sent telegrams
from Laredo. It has ben generally
expected the Mexican commissioner
would telegraph a report to other
members of the commission immedi
ately he arrived in the United States.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.
Strengthened by Cordele Experiencesc.
Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of bhackache,
headache, dizziness or urinary disor
ders, you should give the weakened
kidneys prompt attention. KEeat lit-}
tle meat, take things easier and use
a reliable kidney tonic. There’s no
other kidney medicine so well recom
mended as Doan’s kidney Pills. Cor
dele people rely on them. Here’s on
of the many statements from Cordele
people.
J. B. Wooten, grocer, 202 Tenth St..
Cordele, says: ‘ lused Doan’s Kidney
pills on two occasions and received
splendid resuits. They act almost im
mediately giving quick and substan
tial relief.”
More than three years later Mr.
Wooten said: “I hvaen’t used Doan’s
’Kidney Pills for osme time. I am al
ways glad to recommend them to
others.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Wooten has twice publicly recom
mended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props.

Boston Woman ‘
Recommending It To
.
Her Friends
Popular Boston Lady Says Tonoline
Has Jroven Godsend to Her.
It is always interesting to-.listen to
the statements of our friends, and es
pecially when you know they are sin
cere and honest in what they say.
Added interest is created in a state
ment coming from one who has spent
a liftetime in Boston, where she is
well known socially.
Such a person is Annie Stewart, who |
resides in Boston, and is possessed of;
the respect and confidence of her as
sociates, and is willing for anyone to
call on her to verify the following tes
timonial.
“] have suffered with stomach trou
ble for the past seven years. It took
the form of indigestion and dyspepsia.;
I had dizzy spells and headaches, and
after I ate a little food it would 'fer
ment and cause gas to form in my
stomach. I had pains all over my body
and was chronically constipated. My
liver was torpid, and I felt generally
miserable. I had doctored and had
been in the hospital, but received no
’permanent relief. I was so nerovous
and restless that at night I could
scarcely sleep. The gas pressing under
my heart caused palpitation, and when
II arose in the morning I was just as
‘tired as when I retired. About two
weeks ago I began to take tonoline.
and I can truthfully state that it has
done wonders in my case. - I am feel
ing like a new woman and can eat any
kind of food. I sleep the night through
and have no more aches or pains; in
fact, it has cured me, and I am recom
mending it to all of my friends, as it
has been a Godsend to me.”
All good druggists sell and guaran
tee tonoline.
There are numerus symptoms of
this trouble that tonoline can relieve.
In fact, any of the following may de
note affections of the stomach. Indi
gestion, dyspepsia, belching of wind,
had breath, sick throbbing headache,
poor circulation, night sweats, that
tired feeling, costiveness, coated
tongue or a poor complexion.
Coution:—As tonoline is recom-l
mended as a flesh builder those not|
wishing to increase their weight 15
pounds or more should not take it con- ‘
tinuously. 1
