Mount Vernon, Ga., Thursday Morning, FEB. 22. 1912.
If you did not register in 1011,
you will have to do so before
April 2d, 1012, if you vote in the
state election.
It is said that eight states are
in favor of the Rock Hill reduc
tion of acreage plan. The main
thing is to get the farmers to set
their hands and affix their seals
to it.
Mr. M. I’. Pope of Washing
ton, Ga., speaking before the
merchants’ convention in Atlan
ta last week, declared that the
hull weevil is the only thing that
will force crop diversification.
We will wait and see.
The Canadians are importing
butter from New Zealand on ac
count of the high price of the
home article. This country could
save millions on such products by j
making them at home instead of
the circuitous plan of importa
tion.
A girl in California has pro
posed to a sly old bachelor, he
has accepted, and the wedding
is being arranged for. If this
thing spreads and gets to be epi
demic down this way, the cotton
acreage reduction will be a useless
undertaking.
11. (!. Hastings, the seed man
of Atlanta, gives some correct
views on the cotton situation in
a letter to the Tifton chamber of
commerce. Mr. Hastings warns
against rushing into the vege
table business, and speaks decid
edly in favor of hay and corn as
sure and safe crops.
We note that the Standard Oil
Company’s delivery tank is now
pulled by a spike team —two
horses and a mule —in place of
the two old lop-eared mules who
have for so loi been hauling
the illuminating fluid to this sec
tion. Has this any connection
with the fact that Mr. Rockefel
ler invested two dollars in Geor
gia last week in the purchase of
an automobile tag, or any indica
tion that oil will be higher?
The old free-and-easy way of j
farming and living in this conn- j
try is a thing of the past. The j
“cattle on a thousand hills” that j
once formed a part of our system'
are only a memory. But there is
not the shadow of a doubt that
improved stock raising furnishes
the most direct solution of the
farming problem yet presented. ,
Stock feeding enriches the soil
in a cheaper and more lasting
way than will ever prevail under
the old plan of paying out all the
money that cotton brings for
mules and fertilizers.
Fertility of Washington.
Seven gentlemen from Wash
ington county, including Hon.
Lawson E. Brown, lately elected
president of the Farmers’ Co-op- i
erative Union of Georgia which j
held its meeting in Macon this’
week, weighed over two hundred ,
pounds each. This fact escaped
the lips of Mr. Brown while talk- \
ing to a reporter of The Tele
graph in the lobby of the Brown
House yesterday afternoon.
“You see, said Mr. Brown, j
“this goes to show the fertility
of, Washington county. I am
pretty certain that there are sev-!
en of the many delegates from
my county who will tip the scales ;
at a mark above 200 pounds.
They are I. A. Smith, F. J. Gar-
In'tt, C. B. ThigjK'n, J. W. Slade,
Dr. J. R. Henderson and M. R.
Tucker. There’s no denying the
fact that Washingtc .1 county is
right there when it comes to j
raising hL men.”
Everybody joined in a hearty
laugh.- Macon Telegraph. 1

£ of Georgia Press 2
AAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Clinch Co. News:—When Geor
gia produces enough food-stuffs
. for its people and enough hay
and grain to feed its stock, then
we, in deed and in truth, will be
living in a paradise. That time
: should not be far off.
Savannah Press:—Both Brant
ley and Edwards want life-sav
ing stations established in Geor
gia. They must think this pro
hibition business has become
pretty bad in their districts since
they left home last fall.
Hartwell Sun:—Every year
sees old Hart steadily climbing
to the top as one of the best ag
ricultural counties in Georgia.
Let’s have a fair this fall and
see how the county is progres
sing. Fanning is the county’s
only support, and the more we
do and the better it is done, the
more money we’ll have.
Americus Times-Recorder:—
Drain the unproductive lands and
solve the problems of high prices
says Heinz, the pickle man.
Bosh! There’s hundreds of
thousands of acres of good land
that do not need draining that
are not being cultivated. The
problem lies somewhere else than
in the swamps.
Pembroke Enterprise:—Editor
Howell of the Cuthbert Leader
wishes the public would apply
the golden rule to newspaper ed
itors. Too much to expect,
John, would be like heaven on
earth.
Adel News:- LaFollette killed
his presidential boom by speak
ing a little too long and inveigh
ing against the newspapers at a
banquet. Another instance of
where silence would have been
golden.
Dublin Courier-Dispatch:—The
man who stated that Georgia is
just oozing gold hit it right, but
most of it can be had only by
digging for it and digging deep.
Still, there is no state where the
man who works the land will he
more bountifully repaid for his
| labor,
Hawkinsville Dispatch-News:
Mr. Bryan says it would be sui
cidal for the democrats to nomi
nate Governor Haruion. It was
also suicide for them to nominate
Mr. Bryan but they did it three
times before they became fully
convinced of the fact.
Crawfordville Advocate-Demo
crat:—Gins running in February
is a new thing for this section,
although we are in the cotton belt
of the Empire State of the South.
Greensboro Herald-Journal: —
The price of cotton has been go
ing up ever since Gov. Brown
was elected Governor. We are
willing for the Governor to hold
down his present job just as long
as ho doesn’t let the price of cot
ton go below 10 cents.
#
Cedartown Standard:—lt has
been a number of years since this
section of Georgia has had a six
inch snowfall, and but for the j
rain Friday night the snow of j
Saturday would have been much
deeper. Its coming will doubt
: loss add to the fertility of our
fields the coming season.
Farmers’ Union Meet.
The Farmers Educational and
Co-operative Union, Montgomery
County Division, will meet at,
Glen wood on the 23d of Febru-1
ary. All members urged to at

. Pain in
Heart
"For two years I had pain in
my heart, back and left side.
Could not draw a deep breath
or lie on left side, and any little
- exertion would cause palpita
tion. Under advice I took
Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy and
Nervine. I took about thirteen
bottles, am in better health than
I ever was, and have gained 14
i pounds."
MRS. LILLIE THOMAS,
Upper Sandusky, Ohio.
1 For many years Dr. Miles’
Heart Remedy has been very
1 successful in the treatment of
heart troubles, because of its
• tonic effect upon the heart
nerves and muscles. Even in
severe cases of long standing it
has frequently prolonged life for
■ many years after doctors had
given up all hope, as proven by
■ thousands of letters we have re
! ceived from grateful people.
Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy Is sold by all
druggists. If the first bottle falls to
benefit, your druggist will return your j
money.
