THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING.
There is aparenlly no more firm believer in
advertising than lion. J.'K. (“Bunk”; Cooper of
Macon. Restrained by th clawyers’ rule of ethics
from open advertising, he is compelled to resort to
other tactics to keep himself in the limelight; but
he keeps himself there with rather consistent regu
larity anr apparent satisfaction to himself.
Having just passed through his second or third
race for the United States Senate, he may very
properly console himself that he has not lost any
ground since his last race. He seems to be the
one man who can run from time to time and count
with certainty upon no debection from the ranks of
his supporters. What he loses in one county, he
can easily make up in another, and all things consid
ered, he is satisfied to see his name printed among
the also rans.
The lesson Mr. Cooper teaches to others is
•worthy to be remembered. With persistent regu
larity he announces for the Senate, pays his assess
ment fee and waits for results. Besides that, he
bpends good money in advertising through the daily
papers and plays himself up as 100 per cent for the
people and “in favor of light wines and beers.’”
When the votes arc all in and Hon. “Bunk” finds
that he has received some votes in most of the
counties of Georgia, he reasons that his race has
not been without real results. Besides getting
himself talked about, he r.r.s saved some other can
didate the humiliation of tailing the procession in
the race. This time lie saved that humiliation to
Hon. Scab Wright, than whom there is no more
brilliant and worthy citizen in Georgia. “Bunk”
Cooper evidently holds to the theory that it is bet
ter to have “wooed and lost than not to have wooed
at all.”—Bulloch Times.

CONGRESSIONAL INDIFFERENCE TO BOLL
WEEVIL SCOURGE MENACES ENTIRE
COTTON INDUSTRY.
Senator Williams is right. The attempts made
to control the boll weevil have up to this time been
pathetic. The insect has been a national scourge
for more than a generation. It has consumed hun
dreds of billions of wealth. It threatens the entire
cotton textile industry of the world. It has taken
a toll of billions in decreased land values. But con
gress has never seriously attacked the problem.
The Department of Agriculture has given it little
more than routine attention. It even announced
a year or two ago that it had solved the trouble and
•till half-heartedly takes that view. The present
method of control by poisoning, however, is hardly
ot more than casual importance. It works some
times and sometimes it does not. In some sections
it never worked at all. The sea island cotton in
dustry has been entirely destroyed.
The Government might have offered a prize of
a million dollars for a specific for the boll weevil.
It might have appropriated five million and have
appointed a committee of scientists to make special
experiments in the control of the insect. Then we
should probably have gotten some results. The
answer is not as Senator Smith has proposed, the
elimination of cotton production, but the extermi
nation of the boll weevil.—Manufacturers Record.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR
WE WELCOME HIM BACK.
After a four-months vacation from the exacting
toil of newspaper work, during which time he seri
ously considered quitting the fourth estate, Editor
• H. B. Folsom, of the Monitor, has reconsdiered his
original plan and beginning next week will again
l>e actively in charge of the Montgomery Monitor,
, the Monitor being issued from its own plant in Mt.
i Vernon.
It has been a pleasure for us to take care ot
■ the Monitor, as best we could, during these four
months past. The people of Vidalia have enjoyed
reading the news that we have carried about the
’ splendid old county of Montgomery and her excel
lent people; and we hope on the other hnad that
tl le i people of Montgomery have enjoyed the news
! of Vidalia and her citizens and the record of Toombs
county happenings which the columns of the Moni
-1 tor have contained during these “partnership” days.
Along with other newspaper men in the state,
we welcome Bro. Folsom back to the newspaper
calling—a calling rich in opportunities of service if
not in monetary reward—a calling to which he has
already given thirty years of his life, and during
which time he has rendered signal and distinguished
service to the people of his home county. Ihe
newspaper craft is richer by his decision to get
hack in harness and the people of Montgomery
county are to be congratulated indeed.

A GREAT WORK.
The special Tri-State Exposition number of the
Savannah Morning News issued October 19th was
an interesting review of South Georgia progress, a
wonderful epitome of South Georgia possibilities.
This special number, broader than the local
name given it, is but “carrying on” the great work
for South Georgia which the Morning News began
years ago. Chronicling from day to day the “infi
nite variety” of South Georgia products and annu
ally with these special editions reviewing the pro
gress of the wide-awake counties in the empire of
South Georgia, marshalling the facts of sure and
steady development,envisioning the plans and pur
poses which will make this section even greater and
richer in future years, the Morning News is doing
a great work which all South Georgians appreciate
and applaud.

(AU Inquiries promptly answered)
In our le.ter of October 14th we
stated that most of fie rotten crop
had been picked' and that something
unforeseen would have tr. occur to
prevent an advance to higher levels.
Since that letter was written the mar
ket has advanced apprjxijuately one
cent per pound, which is not bad for
a period of seven days.
The National Ginners’ Association
published their estimate of ginnings
to October 18th yesterday as 96,900,
000 bales, or one thousand bales more
than the estimate contained In our
Circular letter of October 19th. The
Government’s ginning rlgures will be
given out Wednesday, October 25th,
and are expected to show a total of
about seven million bales. We should
like to have the readers of this paper
write us where another three million
bales will come from in order to reach
the Government’s October 3rd esti
mate of 10,135,000 bales. We do not
believe thef inal total will be much if
any, above nine million bales.
Exports and American mill takings
this month have been on a liberal
scalle, the demand is better, offerings
arel ighter, cloth markets stronegr
and general conditions continue to
improve. We see no reason why cot
ton should not advance to 25 cents per
pound very shortly, and to much high
er figures later in the season.

m SULPHUR ON
1 ECZEMA SKIN
Costs Little and Overcomes Trou
ble Almost Over Night
Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying Mentho-Sul
phur, declares a noted skin specialist.
Because of its germ destroying prop
erties, this sulphur preparation in
stantly brings ease from skin irrita
tion, soothes and heals the eczema
right up and leaves the skin clear and
smooth.
It seldom fails to relieve tor
ment without delay. Sufferers from
skin trouble should obtain a small jar
of Mentho-Sulphur from any good
druggist and use it like cold cream.
