Best Crops Ever. J. T. Tillman, a well known travelingmian, has just returned home from an extended trip, hav ing covered Georgia and the two Carolinas, leaving Augusta and swinging down through the lower half of South Carolina, on through the lower half of North Carolina, thence back through the upper half of North Carolina and across the upper part of South Carolina and back into Georgia. Concern ing his visit he says: “I have been covering these territories for the past four years, and have made it a point to watch the crops and general conditions of these countries. “I have never seen such fine crops—not merely prospects, but crops that are assured. The two Carolinas have harvested fine wheat crops and are now gather ing a full tobacco crop, which is selling for more than twice the amount per pound than they have been getting for previous tobacco crops. These tobacco crops are putting the farmers on easy street. “The corn and cotton crops are the best 1 have ever seen in the South, and with the present prices that farm stuffs are bringing are putting real life into that portion of the business world. “But there is one thing now confronting us and especially those in the sections where the cantonments are being put in, namely: While the harvest is great, I fear that the laborers will be few, especially where these camps are being put in. “I find in some sections of both the Carolinas, and for the first time since the war, the cotton mills are being seriously affected—not by general conditions, but that in some sections, some and not a few are so unwise as to leave their places in the mills and from the farms and going to these camps, simply to get what seems excit ingly high pay, losing sight of the fact that these camps are being rushed through and that in a short time many of those who have giv en up their places at the mills, shops, farms and other places may by mighty glad to get back. “The mill owners have been more than kind to their help, cut ting down their rents and raising their wages—in fact, doing all they could do to help them. But we can only hope for the best. We have bountiful crops and they must be harvested, even if the government has to take a hand in it. It is certainly time that people were waking up along this line.” —Griffin News We are not antagonistic to col leges or higher education. We simply favor first doing the ground work that will make them the more effectual in educating and at the same time in favor of put ting educational opportunities where they are most needed and where they will do the most good for the uplift and advancement of the people as a whole—Ogle thorpe Echo. Take This for Chills, Fevers, Malaria For a malarial condition with chills, fevers and sweats, take Foley’s ‘‘King of Malaria” Chill Tonic. It combines the virtues of quinine, without its unpleasant taste, with the strong purifying and tonic properties of iron. It gives appetite, strength and vital energy. Miss Rhoda Foster, Clark ville, Tenn., writes: “I suffered with chills every day, and what ever I took did me no good. A friend recommended Foley's “King of Malaria” Chill Tonic and the first bottle I took stopped the chills, and I felt well again.” The McDonough Drug Co. War Summary. Washington, Aug. 20—The first official summary of the war activ ities o: the United States will be issued in a few days by Secretary Baker to be followed weekly there after with statements of such mat ters as may be disclosed without violating military precautions. Secretary Baker said he would go just as far as the military ad visers of the government deemed it wise toward informing the pub lic of what was in progress. . When American troops get into action in France daily statements will be issued, founded upon the reports from General Pershing. This has been the British custom and will be followed by the United States. The extent to which naval hap penings can be made public is a different matter. Secretary Dan iels has promised that news of disasters will be given out with as little delay as possible. The Old Home. Well worth the recollection of an occasional hour. Boys, do you ever sit down and talk for an hour over the scenes, and adversities and the successes of childhood ? Do you ever take time to look back over the hill of life and call up the days of ye old en time when you were at home under the protecting care of a fond father and a devoted mother? Do the early days spent possibly in a pioneer home, ever occur to you as the happiest home of your eventful life? The questions are for the “Old Boys,” those who have passed the meridian of life and are now on dow r n slope, and who from natur al causes, will soon pass into the unknown beyond, where they are to enjoy the rewards that come of a well directed life. Boys, think of the old home where father, mother, and the charming brothers and sisters whose whole aim was to keep home happy and make life a pleas ure rather than a burden. You remember father’s corner behind the big fireplace, do you not ? See him as he sits and nods in the twilight of the dim fire and dreams of the day when his boys will be Senators and will not have to stand the bitter trials of the dark forest or the treeless prairies. Father and mother, brothers and sisters! The old home! vVhat depths of meaning lie in those words. There is comfort in them. They recall the innocent prattle of brothers and sisters. recall the kindly directed ef forts of the seniorsi to secure the jo* and'peace that comes from the fraternity of home with its bonds of affection. The dim old forest and the wide expanding prairie are there too. The. low murmuring rill with its beautiful song is there. We were all there when we were young, but now we are old and all w r e can do is to recall, recall, recall. Do this, boys, and see if you do not appreciate more fully all that you are and have. It is but just that you should affectionately look upon the past. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured With LOCAL APPLICATIONS as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

Before our nation enters a war it is perfectly proper to discuss the wisddom of going ro war, but the discussion is closed when con gress acts. After that, no one should be permitted to cloak at tacks upon his government or give aid to the enemy under the claim that he is exercising freedom of speech. No sympathy, therefore, will be wasted upon those who have been arrested for unpatriotic utterances. They abuse free speech. And this applies to at tacks on the Allies as well as to attacks upon the United States. We can no more allow our allies to be crushed than we can afford to be crushed ourselves. The de feat of our allies would throw the whole burden of the war upon us. We must stand together and fight it through. There are only two sides to a war —every American must be on the side of the United States. —W. J. Bryan.
