The 31., J. & K. C. to lie Built to
Hattiesburg, Miss.
Mobile, April 8.—It is officially an
nounced that the Mobile, Jackson and
Kansas City railroad will be extended
to Hattiesburg, Miss., and that the work
will probably be commenced within the
next two weeks. It is also stated that
all the contracts have been made and
the rails purchased, as well as other sup
plies needed for construction work.
This will give Mobile an outlet to the
Mississippi river via Jackscn, Miss., and
Vicksburg, Miss., and also a complete
route to the west by way of the Illinois
Central.
The entension will be made from Mer
rill, Miss., the present terminus of the
road, 50 miles rrom Mobile. There will
be about 50 miles of road to build and it
penetrates a rich section.
IS A POSTOFFICE INSPECTOR
S. H. Buck, Nephew of A. E. Buck,
Gets Appointment.
Birmingham, Ala., Aprils.—It is an
nounced here that S. H. Buck, who has
been for several years postal clerk be
tween Atlanta and Birmingham on the
Southern railway, has been appointed a
postoffice inspector and his commission
will issue from Washington in a few
divs, if it has not already been sent
him.
.ui'. Buck is a nephew of the minister
to Japan, who is at the head of the Re
publican party in Georgia. He is well
known in postal circles, having been on
the run for ;Ome years between Atlanta
and Birmingham and having done other
work in the service. He had a good
“pull” and secured the appointment
aster considerable effort.
Congressional Contest.
Birmingham, April 8.—N. B. Spears,
Populist-Republican, who is contesting
the seat of Hon. J. L. Burnett, Demo
crat, as congressman from the seventh
Alabama district, today commenced
taking bis evidence in rebuttal to that
taken by Congressman Burnett in ans
wer to the testimony first taken by Mr.
Spears. The latter says that he is con
fluent that he will be given the seat
when the matter finally gets to the elec
tiou committee in the house. Mr. Bur
nett and his friends are more confident
since both sides have taken testimony
that the plucky little Democrat is not
going to be disturbed in his seat in con
gress.
1 We have four children, With the first
three I suffered almost unbearable pains from
12 to 14 hours, and had to be placed under
the influence of chloroform. I used three
bottles of Mother's Friend before our last

will do for every woman what it did for the
Minnesota mother who writes the above let
ter. Not to use it during pregnancy is a
mistake to be paid for in pain and suffering.
Mother's Friend equips the patient with a
strong body and clear intellect, which in
turn are imparted to the child. It relaxes
the muscles and allows them to expand. It
relieves morning sickness and nervousness.
It puts all the organs concerned in perfect
condition for the final hour, so that the actual
labor is short and practically painless. Dan
ger of rising or hard breasts is altogether
avoided, and recovery is merely 3 matter o{
a few days.

Atlanta, April 6.—Ex-Governor W.
J. Northen, who has just returned to
the city, was much put out by the pub
lished statements to the effect that he
would 1.volubly bo a candidate for
United Stares senator.
Governor A or then said that by the in
ferences drawn from his dispatch sent
from Lake Park, he hud been put in the
attitude of deceiving the public. He
felt raat he had been explicit enough in
denying tho report as it bad been made
to him, and that that should have put
an end to the matter.
“The idea of my being a candidate
was news to me. as I stated in my re
ply ro r ue dispatches addressed to me at
Lake Park," Governor Northeu said,
“and in fact such a thing had never en
tered mv head.”

SEND THEM ALL TO AFRICA
What Bishop Says should Be Done
With Bad Negroes.
Macon, April 9—Bishop Henry M.
Turner of the African Methodist church
has been conducting services among the
negro churches here for the past two
days, and in a sermon he openly advo
cated the banishment of negro crimi
nals. He thinks the United States gov-
ernm® , >r should send all negro criminals
to Africa.
...ao deplored the fact that this
government has 110 steamship lines be
tween America and Africa. He thinks
southern ports in the United States
would profit a great deal by the com
merce that would thus be built up.
Holland’s Kat Trap.
Dublin, Ga , Aprils.—C. C. Holland,
who lives near Dublin, has invented a
unique aud at the same time very effec
tive rat trap. His method of catching
rodents is to take an ordinary wash pot
aud fill it about half full of water. On
top of this he places enongh cotton seed
to hide the water from view. At each
end of the pot he places an upright
piece of wood, across the top of which
he places a flutter-mill. Directly over
the flutter-mill he places a piece of
cheese or burned meat. The rats, in
order to get at the bait, run on the flut
ter-mill. which turns over, throwing
them into the water. Mr. Holland by
this method caught five rats Monday
night last, seven Tuesday, three Tues
day night, 13 Wednesday and five
Thursday night.

Large Increases In Various Crops—State
Stands lu Front Rank of All
Lines of industry.
The season of 1S99 aud 1900 was the
best that the farmers of Georgia have
known in many years. The cause of
this prosperi'y is known to all. A large
percentage of all supplies were raised at
home aud the comparatively short crop
of cotton brought good prices. The
United States statistician estimates the
crops of Georgia for 1900 as follows:
Corn, 34,119,530 bushels; wheat, 5,011,-
133 bushels; oats, 7,010,040 bushels, and
hay, 190,237 teas. The cotton crop was
something over .1,200,000 bales. The
average prices for these crops were:
Corn, 57 cents a bushel; wheat, 95 cents;
oats, 49 cents, and hay, $12.75 a ton.
The average price for the cottou was 9
cents a pound; but this does not include
■ the good profit made ou cottou seed. It
i is sincerely to be hoped that the acreage
of cottou will not be increased, and that
those who seek to run down the price of
our great staple will be foiled in their
attempt. Wirh a cotton crop not larger
than that of last year, and with good
Eeascns aud a full crop of corn and the
small grains, the prosperity which a
year ago began to dawn upon the agri
culturists of Georgia will mount still
. higher toward the zeuith.
31ake Every Acre Productive.
The effort of the farmer should be to
make every acre under cultivation pro
ductive. To this end be should plant
no more thau he can well cultivate. By
just so much as the cost of production is
diminished, by so much is the net gain
increased.
If some men have by the best meth
ods produced 50 or more bushels of
wheat to the acre, why cannot others
with as good land be just as successful?
Our farmers are making wonderful pro
gress in the improvement of their lands
and the beautifying of their homes, and
they are doing much toward confirming
the proud title “Empire State of the
South,” conferred upon Georgia before
the civil war on account of her being
far in the van of all the south in the
construction of railways and in the va
riety and extent of her various manu
facturing enterprises, and still more de
served by the fact that even in the
gloomy period of “reconstruction” she
maintained over almost all her territo
ry white supremacy, and was among
the foremost in throwing off the oppres
sor’s yoke.
Large Increase of the Hay Crop.
One of the most gratifying signs of
agricultural progress in Georgia is the
fact that the 69,769 tons of hay harvest
ed in 1890 had increased to 190,237 tons
in 1900, valued at $12.75 a ton, or $2,-
425,523.75 for the entire crop. This
gives promise of more aud better breeds
of both dairy and beef cattle. There is
no-reason why Georgia should not raise
just as good beef, and have just as rich
milk and cream and as delicious butter
as are furnished by the great grass
growing states of the west and north
west. We have lauds on which alfalfa,
Timothy, clover aud oven blue grass
respond to the farmer's labors with
abundant harvests. At the same time
there is no more uulritioas food for cat
tle thau that furnished by onr own na
tive grasses, crowfoot, crab and Bermu
da, aud that marvelous restorer of ex
hausted soils, the peaviue. A gentle
man who spent his youth in Baldwin
county, often noticed ou his father’s
farm that when- sheep were turned in to
graze, the Timothy to which they had
free access remained untouched so long
as the Bermuda lasted. This is a strong
witness to the superiority of Georgia’s
favorite grass in flavor and nutritious
power.
Increase your acreage for grass
and raise both beef aud dairy cattle,
but be careful to keep the breeds dis
tinct.
Hayproduclng Counties Have the
Best Stock.
While maintaining her high rank as
a cottou producing state, Georgia can
and should press to the front in the
growing of grasses and all forage plants.
Already there is a marked difference
between the cattle, hogs and horses of
the hay producing counties of Georgia,
and those of other sections of the state.
Kentucky, whose farms are covered
with a rich carpet of blue grass, has
long been noted for her beautiful horses
and cattle. One of the friends of
this department who two summers aeu

perfect laxative Sold by H .B Me
Master, Waynesboro; H Q. BeH, Mil
ten.
spent several weeks in the far-famed
blue glass section of Kentucky tells us
that while-his eyes were feasted on
many sleek cattle, and horses marked
by beauty of form aud grace of move
ment, be had seen ju<t as fine animals
on some of the model farms aud also in
several Georgia cities and towns.
More Hay .Means 3Iore anil Better
Beef, 31 ilk and Butter.
Much has already been accomplished
by our most progressive farmers. The
hay product of Georgia increased during
the past decade almost three fold. If
during the next decade we could have a
ten-fold increase on this line, it would
Bean an almost inestimable advance iD
prosperity. It would mean abundance
of ths best beef on our farms aud in our
towns at cheaper rates thau ever before,
milk and butter rivaling the best im-
porratious from northern dairies and
creameries, and an independence of for
eign food supplies that would make the
farmers independent of the price of cot
ton, which would then be a pure money
crop. No people have been more richly
blessed by the bounty of the Almighty.
The best way to show our gratitude to
the giver of ail good is to improve the
opportunities presented with such lav
ish hand.
“Onward!” Is the Word.
When Georgia in her hour of need
summoned her sous to defend her rignts
and honor, the offering of property and
life was spontaneous and general. When
the heel of the oppressor was upon her,
her sons, amid appalling adversities,
wrought by the blessing of God her re
demption. Will they prove laggards
now, when fortune smiles and points
the way to greatness ami wehlth? No.
Already the onward march has begun,
and it will continue until Georgia
stands in the front rank on all lines of
industry, inferior in no particular to
any star of our grand constellation of
sovereign states.
Cotton.
So many of the farmers of Georgia
understand the cultivation of cotton,
that the principal thing to be said on
this subject is to give a note of warning
against an increase of the acreage, with
a consequent increase of the supply
over the demand aud the reduction of
the price of the staple below the point
of reasonable profit to the planter.
Many of our most progressive farmers
have, by intelligent use of the best
methods, restored exhausted lands and
caused them to show a production
almost equal to that of the original
virgin soil. In fact, such has been the
advance of Georgia on this line as to
elicit, years ago, from the compilers of
the United States census the compli
mentary statement that “the high posi
tion of Georgia is due, uot to natural
advantages, but to better cultivation of
the soil, the use of fertilizers, and the
thrift of an industrious population.”
The one thing that the Georgia cot
ton growers need to learn is, how to
avoid overproduction with its accompa
nying low prices.
If, however, tney will raise such food
supplies as may be counted among the
necessities of life, aud thus make cotton
a surplus money crop, low prices will
never again be as disastrous as they
have beeu in the past.
But if, iu spite of all warning and in
defiance of all past experience the farm
ers persist in an increase of the acreage
iu cotton, we may look for a crop much
larger thau that of last year and of ne
cessity a decrease iu the price.
While at the same time the produc
tion of that crop will cost them more
than it has in many years, on account
of the increased cost of food supplies,
mules, fertilizers, labor and other
things.
Combination to Reduce the Price,
There appears even now strong evi
dence of a combination among cotton
mills, domestic aud foreign, cotton fac
tors and cotton manipulators, that will
prove disastrous to farmers in case of
too large a crop. For then the setting
of the price of cotton will not be with
the farmer, as it was last year.
What, then, farmers of Georgia, is
our duty to ourselves and at the same
time the protection of our great money
crop? It is more corn and peas, more
sugar cane aud potatoes, more food
supplies, more beef cattle aud more
dairy products, and after these things
as much cotton ns we can raise. Theu
we can still uame the price of our sta
ple.
The warning has already been sound
ed from Liverpool to New York aud
from New York to New Orleans, from
large buyers to small, that they will not
another year pay the prices that have
ranged daring this season. They say
this because they believe that the farm
ers will greatly increase the crop of this
year. O. B. Stevens,
Commissioner.
BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE
Food Value of Georgia Wheat Shown
by Analysis.
Hon. O. B. Stevens, Commissioner of
Agriculture.
Dear Sir—Last year I reported to you
the analyses of a number of samples of
Georgia wheat, giving their food value
as compare?! with other American
wheats of tho best quality as exhibited
at the World’s Columbian Exposition at
Chicago.
As you may remember, the Georgia
wheats compared very favorably with
these wheats, in fact, the average of the
Georgia wheat analyzed by this depart
ment showed a somewhat better analy
sis than the average of the American
wheats of the best quality exhibited at
Chicago.
For the purpose of comparison and
refreshing your memory I repeat below

According to the rules for ascertaining

the judges at the World’s Columbian

Continuing this investigation, I ob
tained from Mr. T. C. Martin samples
of the wheat exhibited at the last State
Fair, held iu Atlanta. The pressure of
the slate’s work aud various causes
conspired to delay work on this lot of
samples so that I am only now ready to
report. After analyzing the samples
aud finding that the - Georgia wheats
still compared very favorably with those
from other parts of the union, I decided
to send on porrions of the samples to
Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief chemist of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture for analysis, inasmuch as in one of
the nublicatious of his department ou
the cereals, it was stared “that the
poorest wheats were grown in the South
ern states. ” As the result of my analy
sis had proved to me that this statement
was too swooping, at least for the upper
half of Georgia, I wrote to Dr. Wiley,
who kindly consented to analyze the
samples of wheat I had on hand. The
samples of wheat were forwarde.d to
him, with the names of the growers and
the place where grown. In due time I
received a report from him which I ap

unbroken, or to be broken one at a time,
his neighbor with improved implements
plows the land to the necessary depth,
and then crushes the clods on a strip 7 .
or 8 feet wide each trip across the field.
With the same implement that fines ■

Cow Peas For the Table.
Of course every farmer in Georgia
knows the excellence of the peavine for
hay aud as a restorer of woruout soil,
