GROWING APPLES IN GEORGIA.
The annual convention of the Geor¬
gia Apple Growers’ Association,
which convenes in Athens January 21,
promises to be an interesting and bene
ficial event.
Apple growing has become a prof¬
itable and pleasurable- industry in
Georgia, particularly ir. Rabun, Hab¬
ersham, Fannin and other mountain
? counties in north Georgia.
That apple growing may be profit¬
ably pursued in upper middle Georgia
has been convincingly demonstrated
by Mark Riogal, o f Pomona, Spalding
county who will deliver an address at
the approaching , convention on “Car*
ing for the Ey-I’roducts of the Ap¬
ple." Anything less than 4,000 bush¬
els is a small crop foi Mr. Riegal to
raise.
As was rhown beyond dispute at the
State Fair in Macon last November,
the Georgia apple, when properly
grown, is inferior to none offered for
sale in this state. Buyers of fruit
will find the Georgia apple delicious
and appetizing and buyerr should as¬
sist in creating a demand for Georgia
products by calling for home-raised ap
pies and accepting no other.

ORMOND NAMED SECRETARY.
Our old friend, Sid Ormond, one of
the liest known and moat successful
newspaper men in Georgia, has been
appointed secretary to Mayor James
fi. Woodward, of Atlanta, vice Frank
Hammond; resigned.
Slil Ormond is a newspaper, man of
varied- experience and bar never fail-'
ed to make good.
Commencing work oi: the Columbus,
Ledger' in 181*8, he has bogn promi¬
nently and influentially identified
with thejAtlunta Constitution, Atlan¬
ta Journal, Memphis News, newspa¬
pers in Little Hock and New Orleans,
ar.U with the Atlanta office of the As
' —...... -1'
sods toil Press.
Tor the past three and a half years
he has been city editor of the Con¬
stitution, and an efficient one, which
position ho rpUnbutshea to accept the
political appointment.
Sid Ormond is in all probability
Georgia’s leading dramatic critic and
has but few cquuls ms u writer of fea¬
ture ai tides. He knowr everybody
in Atlanta anl numbers his friends
by his acquaintances.
The News and Sun is of the opinion
that “Uncle" Jim Woodward and Sid
Ormond will prove a wonderful com¬
bination that is equal to any muneip
al emergency.

I., Volney Williums, able and popu¬
lar editor of the Waycross Journal
and Herald, refuses to visit Atlanta
nowadays without notifying the Ma¬
con News, which has never been able
to understand Yolruy's sudden con¬
version to the ticket of “Smith and
Slaton" in the senatorial campaign.
The News has no further interests in
Volny’s visits, ns there is no politi¬
cal campaign on. The fact remains,
however, trat it was rather impolite
of the News to remark on the Jour¬
nal man’s somewhat instantaneous
conversion. <■»
For a dollar and ten cents you can
have a funeral procession twelve thou¬
sand miles long. A Japanese artist
in this country who died a few days
ago had his ashes- after he was cre¬
mated, of course—sent to his father

postage, But who wants any kind of
a funeral procession
Wc would have more faith in ad
vc rtisements warning us against the
use of coffee if the advertiser wasn’t
offering a substitute for sale. In our
opinion nobody will ever discover suc¬
cessful substitutes for coffee and a
few other drinks that have already
become popular in Georgia*.
Here's one resolve wc wish to sec
li -oil up to: All pull, and pull to

of our town and the whole county.

(Tifto’i Gazette.)
One citizen of Colquitt county re¬
ceived a check the other day for
$878 for slxty-two head of hogs. That
was a Httle over 814 a head, the price
of two hogs being about equal to thftt
of. a bale of cotton less the gining.
Which is the easiest Tor n farmer to
raise, one bale of cotton or two head
of hogs’.’ Hut it won not a farmer
that sold the hogs to the packing
plant; very probably the average
Colquitt county farmei is like the
overage in Tift-too busy raising cot¬
ton—too fool away any time with hogs
It was n merchant of Moultrie who
does a little farming on the side that
rai.i-d the profitable crop of hogs
While the bells ure ringing in the
first of the new year the bills are

Stop Eating Meat For a While if Your
Bladder is Troubling You.
Wiien you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you-have been eat¬
ing too i :uch meat, says a kell known
authority. Meat forms - uric acid
which overworks the kidneys id* their
effort to filfer it from the blod and
they- beec me sort of paralyzed and log
gy. When your kidneys get sluggish
and clow you must relieve them, like
you relieve your bowels; removing all
the body’s urinous waste, else you
have ha'-kache, sick headache, dizzy
spells; your stomach sours, tongue is
coated, and when the weather is bad
yon have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment, chan¬
nels often get sort, water seals and
you are obliged to seek relief two or
thre etimes during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable phy¬
sician at once or get from your phar¬
macist about four ounces, of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa¬
ter before breakfast for a few- days
and you" kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts it made from the
acid of grapes nnd lemon juice, com¬
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimu¬
late sluggish kidneys, also to neutral¬
ize acids in the urine so it no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder weak¬
ness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat injure eaters. and It is inexpensive, cannot
make a delightful, effer¬
vescent lithia-water drink.
