And when we hud looked from the
m untain top down at the surround¬
ing country seeing little houses that
looked like doll houses, and automo
bihs running along looking like
a
small toy I could not help hut think
that we seem just as little 'and we
really are only little particles of dust
that it takes to make up and hold to¬
gether, our social and religious life as
we find it today. Yes as large and im¬
portant as we think we are there
would not-be a single industry go iiro
bankruptcy if we failed to be at our
post at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning.
V, hen the shades of evening were
approaching we tried to get our little
hand together, and as we sent one lit
tie messenger after a group out under
a shade she would find it so pleasant
that she would forget her mission and
enter into the enjoyment of the occa¬
sion. It seemed that every one wanted
to go to the spring one more time,
but we finally got loaded up and head¬
ed homeward, and as we were in a
Hord of course got home all right side
up und looking like we had been han¬
dled with care.
The little girls and little Willie
Lamb. V\ iley B. Meeks, Perry McCart
and E. W. McKellar had a boisterous
time, while Frank Kennett and us sat
still and looked wise. Little Ruth said
she got better some times, but would
get worse again, hut when we got
home she was ‘‘as peart as a cricket.”
Every one was happy and tired and in
the distant future we think we can see
some of those sweet little girls with
the lines and furrows of age on their
cates, all bent and drooping from a
lice spent in the glorious service O;
-he Master as they set around a hap¬
py group of little ones and tell them a
story, beginning, “Once upon a tiuv
Alien 1 was a tiny little tot, our Sun
lay school teachers took us up on

ve just had the best time you can

like Mr. Coalson took it in stocking

being hot. Oh, we had a time. Theos
was good old days,” and a lot of talk
about the crude ways of travel we have
and how much ‘advancement has been
made. Perhaps she will tell about a
car going u p on the mountain and
those c hildren will finally get sleepy
and say: ‘Goodnight Grandma, those
people must have been very much be¬
hind the times in 1921. We wish they
could have lived in this age of wide
less, fireless, healless cookers, flying
Fords, fussless wives, dutiful bus
bands, gulleyless roads,” and so many
other things that we have not yet
dre5med about for v.e are only enter¬
ing into the improvement age now,
and ran look forward to a new dis av
ery of startling nature at any time.
We are living in u *ust age now. so wt
think, but our great-grandchildren will
tell us that we were slow, an 1 had no
conveniences, and really be sorry t’oi
us for having to live such lonely lives,
for then animated pictures will be tell¬

life and strife and murder and all the
horrible thfhgs of the worl 1 and per¬

THE COVINGTON NEWS,
COTTON POSSIBILITIES
Ihat the south has nothing to feat
from the future, that the cotton slump
is only temporary, and that all this sec¬
tion needs to do is to hold on to its
( outage,* “wake up" and create new and
additional demands for their staule
money crop,” is the encouraging opin¬
ion expressed by Roger \Y. Babson
world-famous business diagnostician,
in a recent issue of his Weekly “Baro
meter Letter” to merchants, bankers
and investors.
In a signed discussion of “The Far
mers' Future and Business," Mr. Bab
■on cals atention to the fact that—
“When wheat sold at $3 a bushel 1
said it would sell at $1.50 in 1921. A!
though I was fiercely criticised for tins
forecast, it has already sold down to
I'Ll5 and is destined for still lower fig
ures before 1921 is over.”
Then he goes on to make a prediction
as to-the future demand for cotton and
other crops produced in the South, and
of this section in a way that ought to
counsel the business men and farmers
he helpful.
“The world is short of manufactured
cotton goods,” he says, and—
'As soon as the south wakes up ami
creates—through education and adver¬
tising methods—new uses for cotton, it
will he in demand again. Cotton has
great latent possibilities—even though
the south is still asleep to these oppor¬
tunities. These same comments could be
made relative to certain other agricul¬
tural products.”
The truth is, cotton is at the thres¬
hold of its possibilities.
Science, investigation, experimenta¬
tion. the application of technical skill,
are constantly finding new uses for the
staple, and it is undoubtedly true that
the future will reveal many more uses
for cotton than those now known.
As the possibilities of this wonderful
product become more and more fully
realized, the demand will increase pro¬
portionately, and as the demand in
creases prices will follow suit and tie
in flow of wealth to the cotton-produc¬
ing districts will be bound to keep
pact automaticaly.—Constitution.

WASTE.
• "ine of the caiunty demonstration
agents in South Georgia estimate that
i-os and weevils destroy one fourth of
all the corn raised in this section. For
a ounty that raises a million bushels
of corn each year, as many of the l;y^(
er counties do, it is appalling to Think
that two hundred and fifty thousand
bushels each year are fed to rats and
weevils.
In many counties the farm demon
stration agents have made their sala¬
ries over and over .by instructing and
assisting farmers in treating lit- it
corn for / weevils. The process is sim¬
ple. requiring thut the corn be gather¬
ed into ceiled barns that are rat proof
and be treated with carbon bisulphite,
and the cost is very low.
The Moultrie Observer estimates that
Colquitt county has been feeding a
quarter of a million bushels of corn
to rats and weevils and- L makes the
following suggestions as to what to do
with the corn:
‘AYe have in mind a good thing that
might be done with the quarter of a
million bushels of corn we are going
to feed to rats and weevils the coining
year. Let's put it in ceiled barns and
save it until next spring and then use
it in finishing hogs for market. The
hances are that the price of hogs will
be*very low through the winter months.
It is probable Slso that the hog mar¬
ket will he back to normal by the end
of the winter and that the prices will
rise as they generally do in the
spring. Put >his quarter of a millniq
in - hols of corn with some beans, po
tatoes, pasture grass, etc., and turn it
into a number of hogs. That is a mar¬
keting system that you can work out
for yourself. You do not need the stat ■
market bureau > r the Farm Bureau t->
help you. The bank will not have to
help. It is a one-man job.”—Vidalia

T HAT’S OUR IDEA in making
CAMELS—the Quality Cigarette.
Why, just buy Camels and look at the package!
It’s the best packing science has devised to keep
cigarettes fresh and full flavored for your taste.
Heavy paper outside—secure foil wrapping inside
and the revenue stamp over the end to seal the pack¬
age and keep it air-tight.
And note this! There’s nothing flashy about the
Camel package. No extra wrappings that do not
improve the smoke. Not a cent of needless expense
that must come out of the quality of the tobacco.
Camels wonderful and exclusive Quality wins on
merit alone.
Because, men smoke Camels who want the
taste and fragrance of the finest tobaccos, expertly
blended. Men smoke Camels for Camels smooth,
refreshing mildness and their freedom from ciga
retty aftertaste.
Camels are made for men who think for them¬
selves.

TT fl is characteristic of

f “three score years and ten,” to look
B back over the clays that are pom»
and thoughtfully live them over.
I find myself, at seventy-one, frequently
drifting back a quarter of a century, when
I see myself in the little drug store I owned
at Bolivar, Mo., making and selling a
vegetable compound to my friends and
customers—what was then known only as
Dr. Lewis’ Medicine for Stomach, Liver
and Bowel Complaints.
For many years while I was investigated perfecting the my
formula I studied and
laxatives and cathartics on the market and
became convinced that their main fault
was not that they did not act on the bowels,
but that their action was too violent and
drastic, and upset the system of the user;
which was due to the fact that they were
not thorough enough in _ their action, some
simply acting on the upper or small intes¬
tines, while others would act only on the
lower or large intestines, and that they
almost invariably produced a habit re¬
quiring augmented doses.
I believed that a preparation to the produce iiver,
the best effect must first tone
then acton the stomach and entire alimen¬
tary system. If this was accomplished, mild, but the
medicine would produce a without
thorough elimination of the waste
the usual sickening sensations, and make
the user feel better at once.
After experimenting with hundreds of
different compounds, I at known last perfected Nature's the
