SUSTAINS SEVERE
INJURIES
One of Covington’s Most Promi¬
nent Women the Victim of
Dynamite Explosion
—Now in Atlanta
Mrs. Robt. W. Campbell suf¬
fered serious injuries, Wednes¬
day afternoon about 6 o’clock,
when dynamite caps exploded
in her home on Floyd street.
The caps were left over from
blasting at a suburbun bridge,
and dropped in the Campbell
car. Mrs. Campbell, thinking the
bag was note paper, placed it in
the fire Bending over to adjust
a shoe-lace she was in full range
of the exxplosion, which fol¬
lowed. Medical aid reached her
as early as posible.
The injuries are very serious
and it was deemed necessary to
rush Mrs. Campbell to Atlanta
at once. She was accompanied
by her husband and physician,
Dr. Luke Robinson. The extent
of the injuries had not been as¬
certained at the time of going to
press.
The affair is deplorable and
many friends sympathize with
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell.

THEY ALL DEMAND IT
Covington_ Like Every CityandTown
In the Union, Receives it.
People with kidney ills want! to be
cured. When one suffers the tor¬
tures of an aching back, relief is
eagerly sought for. There are many
remedies today that relieve, but do
not cure. Doan’s Kidney Pills have
brought la-ting results to thousands.
Here is Covington evidence of iheir
merit.
Mrs. W. H. Barnett, Odum St.,
says: “Some time ago a pain start
ed in the small of my back and gave
me a lot of trouble. I had headache;
and nervous spells and my head
seemed as if it were going around all
the time. Dizzy spells would over¬
take me and my kidneys didn’t act
properly. When I heard about Doan’s
Kidney Pills I bought a box at
Smith’s Drug Store. They not only
cured me, but put my whole system
in fine condition.”

6,171 KILLED SELVES
IN U.S. DURING 1920
tatistics Include Figures
707 Children Who Com¬
mitted Suicide
New York, January 30.—
Suicides in the United States
during the year of 1920 number¬
ed 6,171, including 707 children,
members of the Save-a-life
League were told here today by
Dr. H. M. Warren, , president oi
the league. This exceeded the
figures of the previous
year by more than 1,000 cases,
he said. During the year 2,604
women died through self-des
crease over the preceding year.
The increased percentage
among women was ascribed to
their entry in commercial and
political life. Unhappy domes¬
tic relations and living condi
tons were also large contributing
factors. The youngest suicide
in the country during the past
year was five years of age,
while the oldest was 103. More
than 400 soldiers have taken
their lives since the Termination
of the war, the report stated.
Firearms, poison and illumi¬
nating gas were the most usual
methods employed. The league
went on record as favoring uni¬
form laws governing the sale of
drugs and posession and sale of
firearms as a deterrent to child
suicide.
Classified among the cases of
self-destruction in 1920 were 75
presidents and managers of
large business concerns; 36 men
reputed to be millionaires; 23
wealthy women; 24 law¬
yers; eight judges; 51 doctors;
40 actors and actresses; 34 col¬
lege professors; 24 brokers; 59
bankers, including 14 bank pres
dents; 12 clergymen; two evan¬
gelists and one Y. M. C. A. sec¬
retary.

FARM BUREAU HEAD¬
QUARTERS TO BE
IN ATLANTA
Plan To Organize Bureau
Newton This Month
District farm bureau repre¬
sentatives meting in Athens last
week with the Georgia Farm Bu¬
reau oficials decided on opening
central ofices in Atlanta. The
organization of county and com¬
munity bureaus will be conduct¬
ed from the Atlanta offices. The
personnel of these offices will
consist of a marketing official, a
publicity manager, and a per¬
manent secretary.
The major work of the Geor¬
gia Farm Bureau this year will
be assisting the farmers in mar¬
keting their products. To has¬
ten this end and to promote or¬
ganization of bureaus through
the state representatives from
the various organizations, meet
in Atlanta on March 10th and
11th.
At this meeting the various
county- representatives will ex¬
change ideas, and make further
plans for assisting the farmers
in the marketing problems aris¬
ing this year.
On February 15th a drive will
go on in Newton county to get
one hundred farmers organized
into a county bureau. This bur
will send one man and one
woman representative to the At
’anta meeting.
All that is proposed at present
is to get the organization on a
firm basis. No rash promises
are being made, but the organ¬
ization will go on soberly and de¬
liberately. The farm bureau
has, and will continue to
the county agents in their work
DORSEY TO ISSUE CALL
. FOR FARMERS TO CUT
ACREAGE IN
Governor Dorsey was prepar¬
ing Tuesday a proclamation re¬
questing the farmers, merchants
and bankers of every county in
Georgia to meet February 10,for
the purpose of organizing for a
reduction of cotton acreage.
The governor believes that it
has become imperative for the
farmers of Georgia to pitch their
crops on a basis of one-third in
cotton and the other two-thirds
in food and feed crops. He be¬
lieves a reduction of this year’s
acreage wil be one of the most

The general holding of the
county mass meetings through¬
out the state, as suggested by
governor Dorsey, is in line with
the acreage reduction efforts be¬
ing put forth by the state bureau
of markets, the state college of
agriculture, the Georgia Bank¬
ers’ Asociation, and other agen
cies. ,
Several counties have already
held mass meetings for the pur¬
pose of organizing for cotton
acreage reduction, and have got
their movement well underway.
CONDEMN HIGH
PRICED STOCK FOODS
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged Are Unwarranted—
Makes His Own Hog Food,
With Better Results
“That he is all through paying fan¬
cy prices for stock foods and hog rem¬
edies and that he is raising some of the
best hugs ever placed on the market”
was the statement made recently by
3 . H. Becksteacl, well-known hog raiser
and authority on live stock.
Mr. Beekstead’s hogs are the envy of
his neighbors, and have “topped the
market” for several years in Iowa. He
states that for years he bought high
priced hog foods and hog remedies, but
he is all through paying extravagant
prices for what he can make himself.
He states that what the hog needs are
minerals, and tells the secret of his
wonderful success by explaining that
he takes about five pounds of ordinary
mineraline (which is pure concentrated
minerals and costs only a couple of dol¬
lars) and mixes same with enough bran
or filler to make a hundred pounds All
hogs, and especially brood sows require
minerals as they keep them from worms
and in the pink of condition, and are es¬
sential to the hogs growth and a well
balanced ration. This inexpensive mix¬
ture placed in a sheltered box where
the hogs can get at it as they need it
will produce far beter results than any
high-priced so-called stock fods.
Send tw'o dollars to the Mineraline
Chemical Co., 1638 Uorth Wells St.,
Chicago, 111., and they will forward you
by prepaid parcel post, enough mineral¬
ine to make a full hundred pounds.
