hold their children in any wrong doing.
No More Stomach Troubles.
All stomach trouble is lemoved by the
use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It gives
the stomach perfict rest by digesting
what you eat without the stomach’s aid.
The food builds up the body, the rest re.
.t ires the s'omach to health. You don’t
a ve lo diet yourself when taking Kodol
Dysj epsia Cure. .J. D. ErsKine, of Al

haattburn and stomach trouble for some j
time. My sister-in-law has had the
same Double aud was not able to eat for j
six weeks She lived entirely in warm

CRAWFORDVILLE, GA„ FRIDAY. JANUARY 20, 1905.
MR. BIRD OX THE SITUATION. |
Editor Advocate Democrat: Front
what I see in the daily papers, it seems
to be the disposition of the farmeis
throughout the cotton belt to hold their
cotton. I think this a wise tiling to do at
tlie present low prices. If all hold it will
prove a “freeze out.” If the farmers re¬
main firm they can control the price of
cotton. The cotton lias been sold by the
speculators at or around 7 cents. The
mill men have bought this cotton to bo
delivered, and the time will soon come
for the delivery of it, and if the farmers,
as a hold, remain firm, this is one time
they can price their cotton.
The mill men do not care if it goes tip.
It will be money to them. It is the only
time iu my recollection that the farmer
had an opportunity to get ahead with
their cotton on hand. The banks
throughout the country aro willing and
able to help them and advance money on
their ootton. If the farmers will piaut
corn aud other food crops and raise,
hogs, mules and cattle sufficient to do
them and reduce the cotton acreage so as
to bring the crop down around ten mil¬
lion bales, they can, before July 1st., sell
this crop for whot they would get lor
this and the next years’ crop. Should
they follow the old rule, of “all cotton
and no corn.”
Iu the first place this crop w ill not
count out to the estimate, to say nothing
of the cotton that is usually burned or
lost each year.
If the estimates were right, the crop
would turn up a million short, but they
are wrong by a half million, and you will
see it.
The cotton acreage will nesessarily be
reduced, for there are a number of one
horse fellow's who could get a merchant
to buy him a mule, furnish him food for
himself aud nv?)e on 10 or 13 cent, cotton
who will not be able to do so on 7 cent,
nntt ■>,, J nv rp >ii H’-y couldn't pay their
indebtedness ic" were ±o oi

1 trust tne farmers will unite and stand
united. 1 am a farmer and, as the sistir
states sa^: “United we stand; divided
