Some people have good heads, but there is nothing in them. If their brains were dynamite and some one would touch it off it wouldn’t even tilt the hat. Howard Patterson had the mis fortune to get about two and a half bales of seed cotton, top and cushions of his automobile burned Sunday night. There were abou f six bales ot cotton in the house, but the fire was checked by water and saved the car and remainder of cotton. Didn’t learn cause of the fire. Rev. J. M.

Jackson furnished him the facts concerning the relative advances in cotton and wheat. Mr. Sunday is the famous evangelist now conducting a revival here, while Mr. Jackson is the director of the market bu reau of the Georgia state depart ment of agriculture In a recent sermon Mr. Sunday scored the farmers for holding their cotton to get an exorbitant price and charged them with standing in the way of victory in the war. The next day Mr. Jack son replied with an open letter published in the newspapers, and apparently he silenced the evan gelist’s guns so far as this partial lar battery was concerned. Mr. Jackson showed that the average price of cotton for the past ten years has been 11 cents, and the average price of wheat for the past ten years has be< n 86.8 cent.s. He showed that $2.20 wheat on this basis is the equiva lent of 28 cent cotton. He called • Mr. Sunday’s particular attention to the fact that the government has fixer} the price of wheat at $2.20, while the price of cotton has been fixed by the natural law of supply and demand. Old Soldier Gives Recommenda tion. Gustav Wangelin, Commander of G. A. R. Post, Pihckneyville. 111., writes: “1 highly recommend Foley Kidney Pills, which I prefer to all others I have used and con sider- them ‘Johnny on the spot’.” Foley Kidney Pills give quick relief from backache, rheumatic pains, stiff, swollen joints, languidness, pains in groin and muscles, all other symptoms of kidney trouble and sleep disturbing bladder ail ments.
