HOWISTHISFORFARMINGt
EXPBRIMEHT STATION SHOWS
WHAT CAM Bl DONE
If th* Intensive System to Kent up
Any Farmer Can Do It, Says Col.
B* X Bedding.
In the midst of the many complaints
that coma from the agricultural class*
ea who deprecate the low price of cot*
ton and with good cause complain of
the effects of the weather on their
crops, it is refreshing to know just
whet can be done if good work and
close attention is given to crops.
As these facta and figures come
from Georgia's Experiment Station
many farmers will say, perhaps: "We
could do it too if the state paid for it,”
but that is an argument too oft relut
ed to again be discussed, and even
then would not the idea suggest itself
that they might do likewise by devot
ing their time to intensive farming
instead of planting every acre in sight
without regard as to how or when
they may cultivate it?
This is not a moral lecture to the
grumbling class nor can it be said
that it is an article giving the tech
nique of farming, but it points a
moral,
Col. R. J. Redding, the director of
the Experiment Station, yesterday
stated to a Call reporter that from 48
acres planted on the fatm in small
grain and peas that he had gathered
1,100 bushels of oats and 50,000 pounds
of peavine bay from the same ground ;
400 bushels of corn, and from sixteen
of the acres bad already picked and
ginned 17 bales of cotton with the
prospect of the yield reaching 24
bales
These are not fancy figures but
(acta, and a visit to the farm will verify
them as well as the fact that intensive
farming pays.
The Price of Cotton-
The following from the American,
a politico economic journal of the
highest repute, corroborates our opin*
ion.
"Cotton is lower in price than at
any time since the civil war. Cause
said to be big crop and overproduction.
But here is a little pointer that points
in the other direction; Northern spin
ners have thus far taken 41,841 bales
of the new crop, against 110,871 bales
taken up to this lime last year. Has
not under consumption, a picayune
demand bad something to do with the
fall in price?”
Beats the Klondike.
Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville,
Tex , has found a more valuable dis*
covery has yet been made in the
Klondike. For years he suffered un*
told agony from consumption, accom
panied by hemorrhages ; and was ab
solutely cured by Dr. King’s New Dis*
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds. He declares that gold is of
little value in comparison with this
mavelous cure ; would have it, even if
ft cost a hundred dollars a bottle.

and lung affections are positively

YESTERDAY’S ELECTION
Spaulding County to Democratic to
The Core-
The election yesterday was one of
the quietest held in this county io
years, as the county officers had no
opposition, while the populists and
republicans combined only polled six
votes in Griffin district
Only 232 votes were cast in this dis
trict and so little interest was taken
in the election io the county (bat the
returns from none of the country
precincts were received last night.
Griffin district gave Candler 226,
and Hogan six, which was the full
strength of the populist vote in this
'fttiirict.
The three constitutional amend*
ments were carried by a vote of 182
for and 25 against the amendments.
The dispatches from all over the
State show that a small vote was oast,
but the democratic ticket won by a
good majority.
The following county officers were
elected without opposition :
Clerk of Superior Court—\V. M.
Thomas.
Sheriff—M. F. Morris.
Receiver of Tax Returns—H. T.
Johnson.
Tax Collector —T. R. Nutt.
County Treasurer—J. C. Brooks.
County Surveyor—W. M. Holman.
Coroner—Jesse Williams.
County Commissioners—Robt. F.

Holmes As a Punster-
It was said of Oliver Weldel Holmes
that some of bis best jokes were made
at limes when there w nobody to
appreciate them save a chance listen*
er, saye the Youth’s Companion.
One such fortunate listener tells of
a reply which she, sitting in a street
car, beard Doctor Holmes make to a
complaining writer of title, wit and
less talent.
"I’ve worked with sll my heart on
that book,” said the young man, who
bad been treating the Doctor to a long
account of a recent collection of poe*
try which he bad edited. "I’ve used
my best taste and judgment and re*
search, and I feel-confident that no
one could have done the thing better
or more thoroughly than I have. And
what reward do I Harsh criti
cisms for my omission of a few popu*
lar poets, and a paltry hundred dol*
lars!” ?
"A hundred dollars I” echoed the
Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, wear
ily. "Why I shouldn’t have written
that book for a thousand dollars, I’m
sure.”
The collector of poetry smiled with
gratification, but the listener turned
to regard a passing dray, lest her face
should betray her.

A Popular Delusion.
“Did you read this, dear?” said Mrs.
Grigsby to Orlando the other night.
“It’s a strange case. A harmless lunatic
imagines that he’s a grain of corn and
will not go into the yard lest a chicken
eat him. Isn’t it an odd delusion?”
“Oh, the world’s full of such delu
sions, dear!” said Grigsby. “1 know a
harmless lunatic who seems to imagine
that she’s a piece of cheese, and she
will fly from a room when a mouse en
ters it for fear the little creature Will
devour her. ’ ’—London Tit-Bit a

Some great man was taking a party

One of the party would not admire it

who had been unstinted in her admira
tion, “don’t you like anachronisms? I
think they are each a beautiful orna

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYHUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Sybup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
