Mount Vernon. Ga.. Thursday Morning Nov. 12, 1914.
As a very present help in time
of wars and panics, commend us
to the old fashioned cane and
potato patches.
There is bright hope for the
land which arose from the ashes
of the Civil War. and triumphed
in defeat as the South did, re
gardless of the present crisis.
The son-of-a-gun who is eter
nally howling about bad weather
has not said a word about these
balmy November days we are
having, delightful as the breezes
from “Araby the Blest."
We have pleaded in season and
out of Season for live stock rais
ing to be combined with farming
in the South. Between the boll;
weevil and the European war,
the change is being wrought.
Among other things for which
this country will send up devout
thanks on Thanksgiving Day will
probably be one that between us|
and the warring nations of Eu-j
rope there is a great gulf fixed.
According to the newspapers,
there will be so many Georgia
products devoured on the 18th,
Georgia Products Day, that there
will scarcely beany appetites left
for the old-fashioned Thanksgiv
ing dinner on the 2(>th.
The South should have millions'
of spindles and looms making up
our cotton into cloth, for which
the world must pay a good price
later. Our trouble has always
been that when it rains fish our
dishes are always bottom up
ward.
It is not necessary for you to
read the war news to get start
ling figures. The figures show
ing the amounts paid out for
corn, meat and hay by Georgia,
raised outside of the state, ought
to shock the agricultural nerves
of any people.
The number of successful coun
ty fairs held in South Georgia
this year means much for this
section. Nothing spurs amanon
to success and prosperity more
than to see with his own eyes
what his neighbors are doing in
farming and the wonderful up
lift of better methods.
The recommendation of the
grand jury that the law be
changed, giving Montgomery
county, two terms of court a year
instead of four, is a good one.
The hard-working tax payers,
who pay the expenses of the
court, are tired of being dragged
away from their work during
every season of the year.
A Lee county jury has just
found A. D. Oliver not guilty in
one of the many cases against
him. Oliver will probably soon
be in shape to open up a few
more banks. It is a lamentable
fact that fools can always be
found in Georgia ready to fall
down and worship a hero,
whether from the field of battle
or fresh from the chaingang.
Our farmer friends should not
be misled by the “buy a bale”
movement. It has accomplished
nothing except to afford tempo
rary relief when bought directly
from a farmer. The spinners
and speculators have every bale
spotted, and none of it has gone
out of exisence. It will figure di
rectly in the price next year,
even if the acreage for 1915
should be reduced to half. The
cotton being carried over, added
to a half crop next year, will in
sure a low price for all you make
in 1915.

1 rien Gazette:—The tax equa
lizers have found out a lot of
things during the past year and
when the time comes for them to
again deal with the tax dodger, I
why they will be well fortified
with facts. The t. d. has had his
day in Georgia.
Dodge Co. Herald:—One thing
we have noticed lately makes us
realize that our people are learn
ing a lesson from the present
state of financial affairs. Hardly
a day passes that you can’t see
on our streets numbers of wagons
from the country loaded with
cane, chickens, potatoes, syrup
and other farm products for sale.
Tattnall Journal:-The good
order which prevailed at the
Tattnall County Fair, both days,
was remarkable and a matter of
much pride to Reidsville people.
It is seldom a crowd of five
thousand people remains sober
and quiet to a man, but such is
the case here. If there was a
single exception we do not know
of it.
Monroe Advertiser:—Happy is
that man whose hope is in hog J
and hominy: whose trust is in
peas and grain and Georgia cane j
syrup and who escheweth the
all-cotton plan, for verily he
shall receive his reward.
Savannah Press:—Now that
the great battle of ballots is over
in the United States we can again
pay our attention to rumors of
dum-dum bullets and other
things of that character that float
over the water.
Macon News:—lt is a liberal
education to closely study the de
tails of all of the exhibits at the
fair. One learns in an impres
sive and comprehensive way the
vast extent of Georgia’s re
sources. It makes you believe
that Georgia is the fairest, the
most bountiful, the most fertile
of all the states.
Americus Times-Recorder: —
The farmer who deliberately
plans to plant cotton again next
year needs a brain specialist to
tell him what to take.
| Mi lien News:—The people of
Georgia are with Governor Sla
ton on this No Extra session of
the legislature. An extra session
would cost the people a hundred
thousand dollars.
Macon Telegraph: —lt is no use
!to be blind to a fact that is as
clear as noonday. The Demo
crat who is satisfied with the en
dorsement which the party re
ceived on Tuesday is very easily
satisfied.
Perry Home Journal:—The
market for Georgia grown grain,
hay, cows, hogs, sheep, goats
and other food products will be
ready for the farmers as soon as
the farmers get ready for the
market.
Laurens Citizen:—lf every cot
ton producing state had an Asa
Candler about two-thirds of the
cotton crop would be taken off
the market, and there would be
some tall bidding for the balance
of it.
Nashville Herald—One more
“steam roller convention’’ and
you will see a Bull Moose or Re
publican party in this state of
formidable size.
Lyons Progress:—Trying to
cultivate too much land with in
adequate machinery, careless
ness, waste, and the lack of busi
ness methods are at the founda
tion of most of the failures to
make money on many Georgia
1 farms.

HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
After Four Year* of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—ln an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: “1 suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but 1 was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and 1 gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.
