The Unrivalled South.
No portion of the known world
posseses so varied and valuable
resources as are to be found in the
Southern States. Her forest fea
tures, surpassing soils, mineral
munificence and wonderful water
powers are the admiration of an
impartial world.
These wealth producing eviden
ces are now arousing the interest
of the home seeker, the investor,
the miner and the manufacturer,
as well as the agriculturist, the
fruit grower and the stock-raiser
from all climes.
The association of capital large
ly directs industrial life in its
various stages. In farming, fruit
growing and stock raising the in
dividuality of the individual re
mains unimpaired, and he who
owns his home stead is indeed an
independent man, reaping the
fruits of an intelligent brain and
brawn.
While other sections are hold
ing out inducements to the settler,
no region is comparable with the
South, with countless advantages
for every one who comes within
her bounteous borders —with a
climate so charming in spring and
autumn, moderate in summer and
mild in winter; where crops are
growing all the year, and often
the same land yielding two crops
a year; where farm products are
of the best quality, and all fruit
ripens to perfection, with color
and flavor unsurpassed; where
beef and mutton an excellence re
quired in the most exacting mar
ket ; where the horses, raised up
on perfect cereals and splendid
grasses, are the finest and best to
be found in America.
The diversified cropping now
conducted in the South side by
side with the most rapid indus
trial development in the United
States mark this section as one in
which the wise men selects, for
conditons are always improving,
and greater successes are yet to
come along this line. —Marietta

Loving Words.
A loving word is always a safe
word. It may or may not be a
helpful word to the one who hears
it but it is sure to be a pleasant
memory to the one who speaks it.
Many a word spoken by us is af
terward regreted, but no word of
of affectionate appreciation to
which we have given utterance
finds a place among our sadly re
membered expressions. Looking
back over our intercourse with a
dead friend or a fellow worker, we
may, indeed, regret that we were
ever betrayed into saying a hasty
or a harsh or unloving word of
censure or criticism in that inter
course, and we may wish vainly
that we had now the privilege of
saying all the loving words that
we might honestly have spoken
while they were yet with us. But
there will never come into your
heart at such moments a single
pang of regret over any word of
impulsive or deliberate affection

time. —Ex.

COTTON LOUSE ENEMY
One Insect That Proves to Bo
the Planter’s Friend.
THE CONVERGENT LADY-BUG
Instead of Being Injurious to the Cot
ton Plant This Little Bug Is
of Inestimable Benefit to
Same.
Every one knows that the cotton, In
common with nearly all other kinds of
plants, is subject to the attack of in
sects, but very few realize the ini
mense variety of them that depend
more or less upon this staple for food.
The cotton worm, cotton boll worm,
Mexican cotton boll weevil, cotton
louse, etc., are but a few examples of
the most common, but fortunately only
a few are at all apt to appear in serious
numbers, and these are very variable
in their appearance. Sometimes they
occur in such abundance as to appear
to jeopardise the entire crop in a
more or less extended area, while
again their numbers are so insignifi
cant as to pass unnoticed.
This striking variability is due in
part to a great many causes, some of
them easy to understand, others more
obscure in their nature. Nothing is of
greater importance, though, than the
weather conditions at certain seasons of
the year. Most insects thrive on a dry
and warm season, while the opposite
is true of fungous diseases. Last year
the excessive rains and long continued
periods of cloudy weather made ths
conditions very favorable for the latter
mentioned, and the result was an out
break, quite serious in some sections,
of the fungous disease known as cotton
anthracnose. This season the dry and
hot weather which has continued
throughout May and June, will, unless
July and August are extremely wet,
render a recurrence of this disease
extremely improbable, but it has been
very favorable to the insects.
Luckily most of the insect pests are
restricted to a few generations per
year, and it will on that account re
quire more than one favorable season
for such varieties to increase to alarm
ing numbers. A few are, however, dif
ferent in their nature, producing anew
generation every ten days or two
weeks, and these sorts will, unless
some other natural cause Intervenes,
Increase many thousand fold in the
course of a favorable season.
The cotton louse belongs to the lat
ter class. This insect only requires
about ten days to develop from a n£w
ly born young to an adult capable of
producing young on its own account,
and the rate of increase would be al
most beyond computation did not nat
ural causes intervene and prevent
such a disaster. It is very safe to
say that without such intervention
this insect alone would practically
ruin the cotton crop the first season
that it was allowed free sweep.
But nature takes care of her own,
both plants and insects, and such a
calamity as that Just mentioned will
probably never take place. So sure as
an insect passes the bounds pre
scribed for it, and threatens serious
destruction of the varieties of plants
which serve as its food, some ob
stacle arises which prevents further
increase, usually in the form of some
predacious enemy or more commonly
yet, of some dread contagious disease
which sweeps through the Insect ar
mies and leaves hardly survivors
enoughh to continue the race. It is
only by some action of mankind that
the balance of nature is destroyed, as
when some pernicious insect is intro
duced into anew country, or large
areas of land are made to produce
crops not eminently fitted for just that
locality.
Avery good illustration of a natu
ral check to the too rapid increase of
a noxious insect has been called to the
attention of the State Entomological
Departmnt several times of late. The
season haß been especially favorable
for the cotton louse, and many com
plaints have been received concerning
it. Recently, nearly every mall has
brought in descriptions or specimens
of anew Insect which the planters are
finding In numbers on their cotton,
and which they fear is going to work
them further mischief. Most of these
inquiries have been from the middle
tier of counties; Washington, Jeffer
son, Twiggs, Houston, Sehhley, Monroe
and Marlon, but other sendings were
from further south. It is with a great
deal of pleasure that
we are enabled to as
BUre 0,,r correspon,
“/ dents that for once
there is no harm to
f ' be apprehended from
the abundance of the insect
in question, but most decidedly the
contrary. It proves to be one of the
true lady-bugs, known as the Conver
gent Lady-Bug on acount of the two
converging white lines on the black
area Just back of the head, and like
all others of its family which I have
yet found inhabiting Georgia, is bene
ficial in its nature. All of them feed
largely, if not exclusively, upon the
different kinds of scale insects and
plant lice, and this one which has sev.
eral times before been noticed preying
upon the plant lice infesting fruit trees
has attacked the cotton louse this sea
son in a very business-like manne".
Figure 1 represents the adult winged
Insect enlarged about twice. Figure
2 represents one of the young, also
somewhat enlarged, as they may be
found crawling about over the leaves.
Both the young and y
the adult are very 'fYwWtjjPSftSt*
voractious, and devour
immense quantities VS
of lice. Figure 3 is of the inter
mediate resting stage known as the
pupa, enlarged. This is bright orange
in color, with black spots, and may
be found attached to the leaves and
stems of cotton, or other louse- iu
fested plants. The specimen from
which the drawing was made was at
tached to a leaflet of locust growing
beneath a large plum tree which was
covered with lice. It is specimens of
this form which are more commonly
Bent us for determination, oftentimes
15 or 20 being attached to the tip of a
cotton stalk, and nearly always on
arrival some of them will have hatche 1
into active individuals like figure 1
The eggs, which are not represented
in the figures, are pale orange in color,
and are laid in little clusters in situ
ations where the young, which are
very strong anad active from tha
first, will have no difficulty in finding
food. Two or three weeks, if the
weather is favorable and food abund
ant, will be sufficient for their entire
transformation, and they will pass suc
cessively through larger and larger
stages of active crawling larvae, then
through the resting stage, or pupa, and
finally becoming active again, they ac
quire wings, and are ready to lay eggs
.. for another and
IKjrjl&N more numerous
—generation. 1 n
the autumn,
when the food supply becomes
scarce and finally exhausted, the
full grown lady hugs seek shel
tered places in the woods, under
the rough bark of trees, ainonggst
dried leaves, etc., and in the earliest
spring come forth in numbers greatly
diminished by the hardships of the
winter, but with courage unabated.
As an illustration of the queer places
which they choose for winter quarters,
1 once found a large colony, perhaps
numbering hundreds, snugly ensconced
amongst the bases of the leaves which
thickly covered the twigs of a young
long leaved pine.
In conclusion, regarding the appear,
ance of these Insects in cotton fields,
I would repeat that there can be no
question as to their beneficial nature.
Every one of them represents the
death of hundreds of cotton lice, anl
the prevention ef future generations of
thousaands. Though these pests may
still be numerous and doing some in
jury, it must not be forgotten that
were it not for the check given by
their enemy they would be present in
numbers that might not injure merely,
but destroy. Protect them, therefore,
and do nothing that will hinder them
In their good work, —State Depart
ment of Agriculture, W. F. Flske,
Assistant Entomologist.
Something About Fowls.
The introduction of Asiatic-bred
fowls Into the United States had great
Influence for good among our Ameri
can fowls. The Shanghai, or original
Cochin, brought Increased size and bet
ter egg production and their use as
a cross upon the common barnyard
fowls created a desire for more and
better poultry. The promiscuous mix
ing of these new and highly esteemed
fowls laid the foundation for all of
our so-called American breeds.
The Brahma was the firßt breed
credited to us as an American produc
tion, anad though classed as an Asi
atic fowl, they are the outcome of
great skill in breeding.
The Plymouth Rocks are great fa
vorites wjth chicken fanciers because
of their constitutional vigor. They
prosper where any other fowl can live
and thrive under ail conditions that
are at all suitable for fowls.
Our present type of the Plymouth
Rock is the outcome of a careful hand
ling of fowls by the mating of Rose
comb American Dominique males
with single comb black Java females.
Those having the best color and single
comb among those produced were se
lected and bred together, and thence
was the start of the present perfected
fowl.
Breeds allied to the Plymouth
Rocks are the Jersey Blue arid the
Rhode Island Red.
But we have not time to go Into full
descriptions of all these varieties.
What has been said is only to show
that there is In poultry raising great
room for the exercise of skill.
Breeders of poultry In Georgia do
not generally need the close houses
that are found in higher latitudes.
During the winter they may be used
to advantage. But at all seasons thor.
ough ventilation Is an absolute neces
sity. The roof of a chicken house
should be close enough to keep out the
rain, and all its sides, except the south,
should be close enough to exclude
the cold winds. Do not let the fowls
be exposed to draughts of air. Be
careful to protect the roosts against
such draughts. The floor of a chicken
house should be frequently sprinkled
with diluted sulphuric add, which
should be carefully handled to avoid
injury to the clothing or persons of
those applying it.
In Georgia fowls arc healthier, if left
to roost in the trees during the sum
mer.
Birds free to roam find their susten
ance from seeds, greed vegetable mat
ter and insects. If confined within
narrow limits they must be supplied
with what they desire and need, by
the foresight and provident care of
the owner. Otherwise the fowls will
suffer privation and beeome unprofit
able for either eggs or flesh.

A Business Man Says.
“When 1 started in business I
made it a cardinal rule to pay bills
cheerfully, and though I am not
gray-headed, I have never seen
the time when I regretted it. And
why should not I be pleasant when
a bill is presented. 1 am the
party who has been accomodated
not the man who presents the bill;
yet there are a great many men, I
am sorry to notice, who always act
grouchy when a bill is presented.
Asa matter of policy it is best to
assume a cheerful air when the
bill collector comes around. Col
lecting is not a pleasant tusk as
I know by experience, and a col
lector has enough to contend with
at the best. If 1 can send him out
of my place feeling that lie was
just as welcome us if he hud come
to pay me money I have made him
more comfortable and J know that
I am. Sometimes the bills come
in just when 1 am short of money
but if I pay the bills I pay it like
a lord if it takes the last dollar J
have. It doesn’t make the bill
smaller to pay it grudgingly but
it mokes me look smaller in other
eyes. 1 have in mind a business
man whom others have said wus
an unpleasant man to collect a
bill from, but he always paid my
bills with a smile and I think a
great deal more of him for it, and
it increases his credit with me.
No sir, if I am feeling ugly and
out of sorts the bill collector
never knows it. If the bill is
all right, I put on my best smile,
tell the collector he’s entirely wel
come and tell him to come again,
and 111 bet he goes out the door
thinking that I am a gentleman
and before the day is over he tells
somebody else that I am a good
man to do business with. The man
who is all smiles and graciousness
when you buy goods of him and
surly when you collect a bill is
making big mistake and driving
away trade.”

The Kind You Have Always Bought
CATARRH
The treatment of Catarrh with antiseptic and ; 'Ajf yMW
astringent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco * -.Jr *3
and cigarettes or any external or local application, is *!?■*,''jL
just as senseless as would be kindling a fire on top of
the pot to make it boil. True, these give temporary V£g||Sß|nJ 1
relief, but the cavities and passages of the head and the
bronchial tubes soon fill up again with mucus.
Taking cold is the first step towards Catarrh, for it (
checks perspiration, and the poisonous acids and
vapors which should pass off through the skin, are -y
thrown back upon tin- mucous membrane or inner skin,
producing inflammation and excessive flow of mucus,
much of which is absorbed into the blood, and through the circulation
reaches every part of the system, involving the Stomach, Kidneys and other
parts of the body. When the disease assumes the dry form, the breath
becomes exceedingly foul, blinding headaches are frequent, the eyes red,
hearing affected and a constant ringing in the ears. No remedy that does
not reach the polluted blood can cure Catarrh. S. S. S. expels from the
S ■ ii circulation all offensive matter, and when rich, pure
blood is again coursing through the body the
mucous membranes become healthy and the skin
active, all the disagreeable, painful symptoms disap
pear, and a permanent, thorough cure is effected.
S. S. S. being a strictly vegetable blood purifier does rot derange the
Stomach and digestion, but the appetite and general health rapidly improve
under its tonic effects. Write us about your case and get the best medical
