“PLANT FOR PROSPERITY."
There never has been better advice
given to the cotton farmers in a few
words, 'than are contained in the cap
tion of a Constitution editorial, "Plant
for Prosperity, not for a bumper crop.”
The greatest danger that threatens
the South today Is an over production
of cotton the coming season.
It Is idle to say that such a thing is
not possible. With every planter In
creasing his acreage. Increasing his
fertilizer account, and working over
time in his zealous des're to Increase
his crop, the largest crop on record
can be made, despite the ravages of
boll weevils in the Southwest.
There is no reason to believe that
adverse weather conditions will again
set In and demoralize all calculations
as to the size of the crop. It would be
very unusual if there should be a re
petition of last season’s unpropitlous
weather. Providence prevented a bum
per crop for 1909, but there Is no guar
antee that providence will step In
again In 1910 and save the South from
the results of the folly of over re
duction.
The bane of high prices Is that It
provokes this very eagerness to pro
duce in enormous quantities. Men are
bRnded by temporary conditions, their
eyes are obscured to the fact that
these conditions are transient, that
fifteen cent cotton Is entirely the out
growth of an enormous falling off In
anppRes, and that there can be as
speedy a return to ten cent cotton as
there was an’ unexpected jump to 15
cents. The wise planter Is undoubted
ly the one who appreciates this and
governs himself accordingly.
The leaders of the farmer's organ
izations are pleading with them to
avail themselves of the opportunity
now offered to maintain values on a
high level by holding down production
this year.
THE SOUTH A GREAT HAY AND
OATS COUNTRY.
The other day the ’ Tlmes-Reco der
printed some Interesting figures on
the South as a corn producing section,
facts that were well calculated to
make us aU sit up and appreciate more
than ever the wonderful possibilities
of this section along the line of divers
ified agriculture.
But It is not alone in cotton and
corn that the South Is making vast
strides. In the production of hay and
oats it likewise gives promise of sur
passing other sections. In those two
great staples its output is already en
ormous and a tremendous factor In Us
prosperity. Taking the five cotton
tates of North Carolina, South Caro
lina, Georgia, Alabama and Mlsslsippt
it Is found that In 1907 they had near
ly 1,000,000 acres In oats, which pro
duced over 1,250,000 tons, valued at
over 812,600,000 (112,524,000).
The average yield per acre in the
five cotton states was 17.5 bushels, ns
against 20.6 In the five grain states.
The average farm value per acre In the
cotton states was 1.63 tons, as against
.85 In the grain states from which it
would appear that oats is nearly 50
per cent, more profitable as a crop in
the South than in the North. And on
top of this comes In the after crop of
hay, worth 812 per acre.
While hay is not a grain. It Is so
closely associated with It that it may
properly bo used in these comparisons.
The natural enemy of the cotton far
mer Is grass, and ho has little natural
inclination toward the hay crop. Nev
ertheless, In 1907 the five cotton states
had nearly 500,000 acres, which pro
duced over 1,250,000 tons, valued at
over 812,500,000 (812,624,000).
The average yield per acre in the
cotton states was 1.53 tons, os against
1.17 tons in the grain states. The av
erage farm value per acre In the cot
ton states was 825.85, against the
813.27 in the grain states, from which
it would appear that hay as a crop Is
worth nearly double In the South what
it Is in the North.
There Is an Important item-which has
not been taken Into consideration in
making the above comparisons, and
that Is the relative value of farm
lands, say 830 per acre In the South
and 875 per acre in the North. When
Interest on the Investment and taxes
are considered the showing Is even
greater In favor of the South as a
grain-growing section and should con
vince the farmers of the North that
they can profitably cultivate In the
South the crops they have been accus
tomed to. It should also convince the
farmers of the South that they need
not be the slaves of cotton, but that
they can profitably compete with other
sections In the growing of grain.

HDDS THE SYSTEM
OF CATIR0H
Catarrh comes as a result of Impurities, and morbid matter In ft#
circulation, and is a disease that only attacks mucous membrane Tbe
entire Inner portion of the body Is lfned with a delicate .-.kin or covering
of soft, sensitive flesh. Thousands of tiny blood vcss-ls are interlaced
throughout this mucous surface, and it is through these that the Inner
membrane receives its nourishment and is kept in healthfulcondition
When, however, the blood becomes Infected with catarrhal impurities the
tissues become diseased and Catarrh gets a foothold In the system. The
early stages of Catarrh are characterized by such symptoms tis a tight
stuffy feeling In the head, watery eyes, buzzing noises in the ears, with par
tial deafness and often difficult breathing and chroniO hoarsoness. These
are merely symptoms, and while sprays, Inhalations and other local treat
ment may temporarily relieve them, Catarrh cannot be cured until the
blood is purified of the exciting cause. 8.8.8. cures Catarrh by cleansing

Every one acquainted with the un
selfish labors of Editor Henry M. Mc
Intosh of the Albany Herald for the
upbuilding of Southwest Georgia will
re-echo the sentiments of tho Augus-
If this Is done, It the crop ta Chronicle which urges him to be-
ls kept within reasonable bounds, prof- come a candidate for Congress, to suc-
ftable prices are assured. If, as Is j cedd tbe late lamented Griggs, and In
stated, cotton cannot be made these
days, with supplies at the prices they
have been bringing, at less than ten
cent a pound, then It Is highly essen
tial for tbe prosperity of the planters
and of the South in general that pro
duction be kept down sufficiently
maintain the price at above 13 cents.
Fifteen dollars a bale Is none too little
profit for the planters, and with the
situation clearly In their hands at this
time there Is no reasan why the mark-
et should not be kept at that level. It
would certainly be folly to throw away
the advantage now enjoyed ns a result
of the small crop of 1910.
WANTS A PARDON AFTER THREE
; „ MONTHS.
An effort is already under way to
secure a pardon for former cashier
Orr, of the Exchange Bank of Macon.
Orr was sentenced to seven years for
embezzlement of the bank's funds. His
friends point out that he has already
served THREE MONTHS of the 'sen
tence, leaving only six years and nine
months, and they accordingly have
petition In circulation begging that
this be erased from tbe slate and the
man be given his freedom.
• The thought naturally suggests It
self, If the bank embezzlers are to be
pardoned after serving three months
out of seven years sentence what Is
the use of going to the expense of try
ing them? Why not simply give them
all carte blanche to embezzle all they
want and thank them afterwards for
their services as bank busters
‘ Isn’t It time In Georgia that as end
was put to this sort of business? Look
at the record of broken banks In this
state in recent years, some of the most
disgraceful having occurred la Macon
and Waycross.
Is it good policy to condone such
effences, to practically encourage oth
ers to speculate with bank funds,
knowing If they lose them and are
tried and convicted that after a few
weeks imprisonment they can get par
dons? If this method Is to prevail
there will be no protection for depos
itors in stats banks st all.
slsts that If tbe Second District does
Its full duty it will rally unanimously
to the man whose whole life has been
given to the redemption of its waste
places, to the diversification *of Us
agriculture, tbe development of Its
industries, the promotion of the mate
rial Interests of Its people generally.
The Chronicle says:
Our dispatches yesterday stated that
Mrs. Griggs, widow of the late Con
gressman James M. Griggs, had per
sonally requested Hon. Henry H. Mc
Intosh. editor of the Albany Herald, to
stand for her late husband's unexpired
term as representative of the Second
district In Congress.
We were Just about to make the
same suggestion when this welcome
news came to us. and we now most
heartily endorse tbe request made up
on Editor McIntosh by Mrs. Griggs.
Not only as the warm personal friend
and loynl political supporter of the
lain Congressman Griggs, Is Mr. Mc
Intosh his logical successor, but as
one of the strongest men in the Sec
ond district, a true and tried Demo
crat and a man who has spent a life
time in active, unrewarded work for
bis district and state, Is he entitled to
this honor.
Nor are we led to say these things
because Mr. McIntosh is a brother ed
itor, but solely because, In our opin
ion. he is, far and away the best man
In tbe district for this responsible po
sition—end we happen to know some
thing about that particular district.
Born and reared In the Second district
—In Congressman Griggs’ home town,
In fact—the editor of the Chronicle has
ever cherished a warm personal Inter
est In the affairs of that section. We
know its people and we know Its In
terests, and we but speak what every
one else knows when we say that, no
where in the entire district, can there
be found a man who would represent
intereete more faithfully and more
successfully in Congress than would
the Hon. Henry 51. McIntosh.
If the people o fthe Second district
do not make Mrs. Griggs’ suggestion
practically unanimous, then we wil
simply have to assume that personal
ambitions are to be allowed to Inter
fere with the district’s best interests.
But, even so, we feel entirely confi
dent that Henry M. McIntosh can win
the race over any two or three men
In the district, and we sincerely trust
he will not hesitate to enter the race.

Honest?
With your land when for the
sake of saving a few dollars
you use a fertilizer whose
only recommendation is its
analysis. It requires no spe

of a fertilizer lies in the ma
