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. fVTTmmunmTmmi • ► Gleanings From 3 ► Wisdom’s Field. 2 C < i •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 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.

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. TTnV* to: Chattanooga Medicine Co.. Ladle*' Advisory Dept.. Chattanooga. Tenn., for Stft'tial J instructions an your case and 04-page book.
