Big Demonstration For
Peace In Mexico.
Mexico City, March 10.—A
monster demonstration in favor of
peace and in support of the con-
stituted government was heid here
today. Perfect order prevailed.
President Madero for nearly
three hours reviewed the demon¬
stration from the balcony of the
palace and from time to time re¬
plied to impassioned speeches by
the paraders. The speeches, while
not laudatory of Madero, pledged
him support in abolishing anarchy
and expressed confidence in the
government.
The crowd, which filled the Zo-
calo in front of the palace, is esti¬
mated to have aggregated 20,000
persons.
R^eportsof deductions
Atlanta, March 10- —The re¬
duction of cotton acreage in Talia¬
ferro county is going to be j. reater
than was at first thought possible.
M. E. Moore, a member of the
Rock Hill” committee for that
county, sent in to the state super¬
office a list of seventeen
who have pledged them¬
to^cut their crop a total of
525 acres this year. These same
farmers, in 1911, planted 1801
in cotton. They have
pledged themseves to pUnt not
1.276 acres this year. Tins
vs a reduction of 29 per cent. Mr.
Moore smtes that every farmer he
has seen, except two, has agieed
to reduce his cotton acreage, and
the tenant of one of these two has
since left, .leaving a four-horse
farm to licout. Mr. Moore thinks
that this will be about the average
percentage of reduction all over
the county.

“Hobble skirts are worse than
beer,” says an Atlantic City
preacher. Still it might be well
to have affidavits from those who
saw him make the tests.
We have been asked, “who is
the knocker?” this question is
easily answered. H enquests
every community. You will usual¬
ly find him on some corner with
bunch of congenial idlers; his
amount of work during the day is
represented bv the algiebraic X,
and his occupation, if you ask
would puzzle him more than the
solution of the numbers of sum-
mers seen by the iictious Ann.
Still he knows how the
county should be regulated altho
he does not know how and does
not care Low he will pay his poll
tax. He couldn’t go on the bond
of a man fined ten cents, yet he
discusses the finances of the town
and county as if he had the com¬
bination of the bank safe, free
access to the treasurer’s books and
the linancial condition at his fingers
end. Nothing that happens in his
town or county is any good, it
never can be. He judges the peo¬
ple by his own standard and the
conclusion is only obvious. Bees
Kill out the drones; the law pre¬
vents our following the example

G. W. Phillips, retired preacher,

says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney
Pills with the best of results and
cheerfully endorse them for the
benefit of other kidney sufferers.
For over a year I had kidney com¬
plaint. My back became lame,
stiff and sore and there were pierc¬
ing pains through my kidneys.
My limbs were weak and in the
morning I was kardlv able to
straighten. The secretions from
my kidneys also caused me added
annoyance. Doan’s Kidney Pills
did me a world of good, ridding
me of my pains and improving my
condition in every way. In my
opinion, this remedy has no equal
for the cure of kidney complaint.’*
