prices not only of oats but of all grain
and provisions, and In many locali

It is a revelation to those who have
been familiar with farming methods Inr
this part of the state to go through
the farming districts now, two months
before oat harvest time. Oats, oats,
everywhere! The oat fever seems to
have caught every farmer, and as the

has not indicated what he Intends to
do with regard to the proposed pur
chase. It Is rumored that the selec

Mr. Charles Black, of Americus,

clone swept the little city, and tells
a thrilling story of the fearful scenes
resulting In toppling buildings and
loss of life. Mr. Black was at the

others, was not directly In the path of

fury.

New York, March 12.—“If Amerl
can women wore less clothes they
would be more modest. The women
of Africa wear very little raiment and
they are the most modest women In
the world!"
This unique assertion was made to
day in the course of an interview by
Arthur George Pomeroy Collen, sin
of the retired English officer, Lieut
enant General Sir Edwin Collen, for
40 years a resident of British East
Africa.
"Clothes make the savage woman
shy and coquettish," Mr. Collen con
tinued. “I have noticed that in their
native garb, which consists of a strip
of bark or a bit of woolen blanket,
they arc as unconscious as children.
'A white shirt waist and a skirt to
which the missionary Introduces them
seems to sow the first seeds of van
ity. I don't like to think what would
be the result if a directolre gown
were let loose In their midst.
“I think an ornamental purity brig
ade with an African woman as nils
slonary, would help Occidental morals
and manners. I should like to show
you one of the native women before
she has been civilized and dressed and
one who is fashionably gowned In the
latest English style.”

Straggle Hard
With a back constantly aching.
With distressing urinary disord
ers,
Dally existence Is but a struggle.
No need to keep it up.
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Americus people endorse this claim;
G. B. Stallings, living at 706 Church
street, Americus, Ga., says; “I have
used Doan’s Kidney Pills and can say
that they have done me a great deal
of good. In fact, I am entirely free
from the trouble from which I suf
fered. I had endured much misery
from pains In the small of my back
and sides for qnlte a while and the
kidney secretions were very unnat
ural In appearance. Learning of
Doan's Kidney Pills I sent to Dodson’s
Pharmacy, and procured a box. They
helped me from the first, and the use
of another box entirely cored the at
tack. I am very grateful to Doan’s
Kidney Pills for the benefit I have ob
tained from their use."
