fAR m life is far the best.
Thi happiest man in the world, in
nil probability, is the progressive far
mer. Ho labors onongh to insure
health, sees his broad acres year after
war into fruition of a bountiful yield
au ,l lias tho respect and good will of
bis a, iirlibor. He is more independent
than any monarch on the throne in
this wide world. He sleeps sounder
and more peaceful than the Czar of
jjn-sia amid his gold. And this con
condition will continue under the
stimulus of the friendship of neigh
bors. when all tho powerful rulers shall
have gathered to their fathers. Blessed
be tin-farmer. He is the man we look
11 through good and evil, in sickness
and in health, in storm and in drouth.
He is the mudsill of our whole fabric.
It is an hundred times easier to suc
ceed on tho farm than in the towns
and cities, but the young men and
voting women can have more pleasure
along with the trials of town life than
in the country, hence they go for this
reason to the towns. If the young
men and the men that are raising the
boys and girls would look to the pleas
lire and comfort of the young people,
the exodus from tho farms would cease.
the AMERICAS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER; FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3,
1902.
MEETS WITH APPROVAL.
BEARS HAMMERING THE MARKET
The condition of the cotton market
at present induces the Columbus Led,
ger to believe that the bears are making
every possible effort to keep the price
of cotton down until tho farmer has
sold his crop. Then, as the Hedger
says, some of the bears will become
bulls and do everything in their power
to send the price skyward. These
things ought finally to convince the
farmers of the south that their hope of
prosperity lies in making cotton a sur
plus crop. If tho average southern
farmer was in a position to live for a
few months without selling his cotton,
he would get ten or twelve cents for it
next spring, or when he did sell it. But
until there is concert of action on the
part of the farmers, tho speculators
will continue to rule tho price of cot
ton, regardless of the natural laws of
supply and demand.
THE BANK EXAMINER.
Hon. F. M. Hawes of Elbert says he
will introduce a bill in the next legis
lature to creat the department of state
bank examining.
He says the present system is all
wrong, as he thinks a bank examiner
should not be under supervision of
the treasury department, and that the
banking laws should be changed.
Mr. Hawes is one of the ablest and
best known young men of Georgia.
He is also very popular in his section
and has proven himself a man of the
strongest convictions and with the
ability to champion what he believes
to be right in state affairs. The bill to
create a bank examiner is more than
apt to become a law, and it should be,
for it is a righteous and safe meaBUTe.
The Times Becorder commends Mr.
Hawes’bill and trusts that the mem
bers from this section will vote for its
passage.
The Boston Herald, after adjusting
its glasses and looking southward says:
The most amazing feature that at
tends the elimination of tho colored
voter in the South by the Kepublieau
party ns a political factor is the little
remonstrance that is hard on the sub.
jeet. The act itself is to be accounted
for as one of the moves in politics. Tho
Republicans of that section, finding
that they could make no headway with
the colored people in their service, are
engaged in the experiment of attempt
ing to succeed without much regard to
tho colored man’s feelings. But there
are a good many men in public life, or
connected with the press and the pul
pits of the nation, who have regarded
the exclusion of the colored man from
his natural rights as n voter as a great
moral question, nud the astounding
thing about their present position is
their almost complete silence on the
subject. ”
Southern white Republicans have
discovered that the colored brother
of little value to them as a political
asset nnd they view his disfranchise
ment wilh a complacency which indi.
cates approval. The Northern Repub
lican politicians, whose experience
with the colored delegate in national
conventions has dulled their sympnthy
for him, are also indifferent to his po.
litical fate, realizing that he is worth
no electoral votes. As for those per.
sons who may be connected with the
press nnd pulpit and who regard the
elimination of the negro from politics
as “a great moral question" but whose
'almost complete silence on the sub.
ject” astounds the Herald, perhaps
they, too, are beginning to acquire
some intelligent knowledge of the
matter.

United States Surpasses All Countries
In Electrical Intallatlons.
New York, Sept 27.—At a meeting
of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers lu this city. President Scott
said that since the organrzatlou of the'
Institute, In 1884, the value of elsstrl-
cal Installations In the United States
outside of telegraph and telephone
plants bad increased from *1.000,000 to
over *4,000,000,000.
The United States,” he added, "with
only one-fifth of the population of Eu
rope and Great Britain, has two ant
one-third times the kilowatt capacity
In power stations, and three and one-
half the mileage of electric railways.
The power houses In operation and
under contract In New York city would
replace all the central stations for
lighting and power In Great Britain or
Germany; they would operate all the
electric railways of Great Britain and
Europe combined; one alone would be
sufficient for the railways of Germany,
and the output of a single generator
would run all the railways of Swittar-
land.”

Scrofula
I bequeath to my children Scrofula with all its
attendant horrors, humiliation and suffering. This is a
strange legacy to leave to posterity; a heavy burden to
place upon the shoulders of the young.
Thu treacherous disease dwarfs the body and hinders
the growth and development of the faculties, and the
child born of blood poison, or scrofula-tainted parentage,
is poorly equipped for life’s duties.
Scrofula la a disease with numerous and varied
symptoms; enlarged glands or tumors about the neck
and armpits, catarrh of the bead, weak eyes and dreadful
akin eruptions upon different parts of the body show the
presence of-tubercular or scrofulous matter in the blood. This dangerous
and stealthy disease entrenches Itself securely in the system and attacks
the bones and tissues, destroys the red corpuscles of the blood, resulting in
white swelling, a pallid, waxy appearance of the skin, loas of strength and
rhite swelling, a pallid, waxy appearance o
gradual wasting away of the body.
S. S. S. combines both purifying and
teedent . _
all scrofulous affections. It purifies
blood, makes it rich and strong and a complete and
permanent cure is soon effected. S. S. S. improves
■the digestion and assimilation of food, restores the
lost properties to the blood and quickens the circulation, bringing a healthy
color to the skin and vigor to the weak and emaciated body.
