X A Town of Wealth and Progress—Trading Center J
X of a Productive and Prosperous Section ♦
COCHRAN. Ga.. Nov. 2«.—One of
the substantial growing towns on the
wlregrass border Is Cochran, situated
In the northern portion of Pulaski
county, on the Southern railroad, at
the junction of the Hawklnavllle
branch, thirty-nine miles south of
Macon and ten miles north of Haw-
kinsville. It Is the metropolis of a
magnificent agricultural territory em
bracing the northern portion of Pu
laski and parts of Twiggs and Lau
rens counties.
Cochran is a town of considerable
wealth, of modern business structures
and homes, of first-class educational
facilities, a clean social and moral
status and a citizenship of which any
community might feel proud. The
people of the place are patriotic, pro
gressive and energetic in supporting
all movements for the advancement
and betterment of the community.
Cochran has a history dating back
to about the beginning of the war be
tween the states when the old Macon
and Brunswick railroad (now the
Southern) was completed to that point,
but In. its early days the place was
known as Dykes Station, named for a
prominent planter who resided there
and owned the land on which the sta
tion was established. During the war
and for five years subsequent to the
surrender, the people for fifty miles
below. Including Telfair and Interme
diate territory, had to drive through
the country to Dykes Station to take
train for Macon and other points
north, and when the Ocmulgee river
was too low for steamboats to run.
merchandise had to be hauled by
wagon from that point, being the
nearest railway for a large scope of
country. In 1861 the volunteers from
several counties embnrked on the
trains at Dykes* for the seat of war
in old Virglnlo.
But during that period the territory
mentioned, except along the Ocmulgee
river, was sparsely settled, the people
were few and far between. They were
Independent, ns they raised practically
everything they needed to live on, and
had little to do with the outside
world.
After the railroad wan built through
to Brunswick the name of the station
was changed from Dykes to Cochrnn.
It began to take on a substantial
growth and was Incorporated os a
town a few years later.
Up to twenty-five or thirty years
ago the people of agricultural sections
of GeorglA, and the entire 8outh, for
that matter, thought little of building
towns. The ante-bellum system of
doing business gave but small encour
agement to the growth of the town
and was materially different from the
methods now prevailing In certain sec
tlona at least. Before the war, and
for some years since, the planters did
business through factors In Macon,
Savannah and other cotton markets,
buying supplies for the plantations
nbout twice a year nnd disregarding
little things—the surplus products of
the farms which were usually thrown
away because there were no local
markets for them, consequently the
value of the small products wasted
annually on the plantations would have
run up Into big figures. No one
thought of selling such things ns frultr
melons, vegetables, eggs, fowls, etc.,
as there were no‘industrial centers to
create a local demand for agricultural
products, and. ns n general thing,
transportation facilities were nnythlng
but convenient for shipping to the big
cities.
But during the past twenty years
conditions have changed nnd Improved
in Georgia and other portions of the
cotton belt. In the first place, rail
roads have been constructed, opening
up the productive lands, furnishing
transportation at reasonable rates to
the great centers of industrial popula
tion, facilitating the marketing of mil
lions of dollars’ worth of agricultural
and horticultural products that were
formerly wasted, or not produced at
all. and besides manufacturing enter
prises have sprung up, giving employ
ment to thousands of people, causing
towns to grow' like magic, furnishing
home markets for surplus farm pro
ducts, adding Immensely to the profits
of the farmer and the prosperity of
the country.
Cochran's Substantial Growth.
Being surrounded by a productive
and comparatively well developed ag
ricultural territory, as will appear fur
ther on In this article, Cochran began
a substantial growth some twenty-five
years ago which has been gradual and
steady. A few years back the pro
gressive citizens nnd capitalists of the
community began to look out for man
ufacturing enterprises. Such Indus
tries were liberally encouraged and
the result Is that a number of Indus
tries have been established, mainly
with home* capital, giving employment
to several hundred people and ndding
greatly to the Importance nnd pros
pects of the town. Cochran has kept
abreast of the times In Industrial ad
vancement. as well as in other pro
gressive movement** and social nnd
moral development, giving the town a
high rating as a desirable place for
business or residence.
Commercial and Industrial Importance
Cochran has a population of about
2.000. There are some forty business
concerns of various kinds. Including
large and up-to-date mercantile estab
lishments, one large cotton factory, a
modern cotton seed oil mill nnd fer-
tllzer factory, variety works, two mod
ern cotton ginneries, three cotton
warehouses, telephone exchange nnd
long distance ’phone, two banks, opera
house with modern fixtures and
scenery, electric light plant, water
works under construction, a first-class
public school, pure artesian water, etc.
The manufacturing enterprises, the
financial nnd commercial concerna
were established with local capital,
contributed by the business men and
farmers of the community.
The warehouses of the town have
received up to date this season nbout
8.000 bales of cotton which will be In
creased by the close of the season to
over 9.000 bales. A large per cent of
the cotton received to date Is being
stored and held by the farmers, while
others havo stored a portion of their
crops on their farms, holding it for
higher prices, which is evidence of the
prosperity of this section and the solid
financial condition of the farmers.
Cochran Public School.
Cochran has a first class school and
a modern public school system. The
Institution Is under the management of
progressive board of trustees and the
faculty embraces educators of high
standing and experience.. The school
building is a commodious modern
structure, well furnished and equipped
with the latest appliances. The build
ing Is of brick, constructed with the
view of comfort and according to sani
tary rules.
First and last, the school Is estab
lished for the upbuilding of the com
munity, and to that end It will con
tinue to move. The general policy will
be:
First—To give a broad and liberal
education to those pupils who may not
be able to pursue their studies in high
er Institutions. This will be a most
Important aim. nnd the course of study
prescribed by the board of trustees
will be strictly adhered to. Realising
what a menace to society Is Ignorance,
It will be the constant care of the fac
utly to see to it that each pupil com
pletes the work of his grade before go
ing to the next higher grade.
Second—To give thorough prepara
tion to those pupils who wish to con-

tinue their course In some higher col

will be given the preparation of such
pupils, beenusc pupils who are but 111

necessarily suffer great embarrass
ment and humiliation when they fall
to pass on the entrance examination
of some higher Institution.

Splendid Agricultural Community.
Cochrnn Is located near the wire-
grass border, being only six or eight
miles to the border of tho red hills of
Middle Georgia. To the north there
are oak and hickory lands, while to the
south and east It Is'wlregrasse and
pine land. In the territory contiguous
to Cochran there are three varieties of
soil, embracing the red clay land, the
gray^ sandy loom and the pebbly clay
subsoil. All these lands are productive
and capable of being made rich by fer
tilization. There arc some ns fine ag
ricultural and fruit lands In this sec-
tio os can be found anywhere In South
or Middle Georgia. On some planta
tions. this season, as high ns 21 bales
of cotton were made to the plow and
on others 18 bales. The average, how
ever, Is nbout 12 bales to the plow with
corn and forage for, a year’s supply.
This Is good farming.. As a general
thing the farmers raise their own meat,
corn, forage and wheat, sugnr cane Is
raised for syrup for home consumption.
On Dr. Walker's plantation a fow miles
north of town this season, cane of tho
red variety, over ten feet In length
was raised. Ground peas, field peas
nnd potatoes are raised for faltering
hogs. More and more every year
tho fanners are diversifying their
crops to the extent of raising full sup
plies of provision crops, and as this
system grows, the community becomes
more prosperous.
For fruits of all kinds, and peaches
especially, this section Is unsurpassed.
The soil and climate are similar to the
adjoining county of Houston where the
largest pench orchards in the world arc
locuted and where the growing of
peaches and other fruits Is so profita
ble.
Cochran's Fine Resources and 8olid
Prospects.
By reasons of Its magnificent farm
ing territory and prosperous farmers
who market their products and pur
chase their supplies at oCchnin, nnd by
reason of Its manufacturing Industries,
which furnish employment to hundreds
of people and consume large quantities
of raw material produced by the farm
era of the community, Including pro
ducts In the provision line that were
formerally wasted, or not rulicd at all
for lack of a mnrkot, the town’s
sources and prospects are unusually
' substantial. And owing to location, It
has a prosperous territory from which
no' other town can draw Its trade.
This Is a fertile and healthy territory
which is being rapidly developed as a
fine agricultural section. Besides
Cochran is a first class market town;
Its merchants keep fine stocks of goods
which they sell the farmers at as low
prices as any town can afford, nnd the
J merchants and bankers of the town
• are In position to accommodate the
} farmers whenever they are In need of
assistance.
Another thing which adds to the
town’s prospects Is the fact that man
ufacturing enterprises are liberally en
couraged by the town and by the pro
gressive citizens of the condnunlty. The
business men are broadminded, rating
high as men of enterprise and in
tegrity.
The following business men. bankers
and professional men are among those
who push along every movement for

munity.

--zs^msssK^m^m^am
THE LADIE8 OBJECT tn a gummy and sticky
hair dressing or one that In full of sedimentary chemi
cals Intended to dye the hair. The marked preference
for a clean and dainty preparation, particularly ono
that overcomes excessive olllness and Joavcn tho
hnlr light tind Huffy, Ih reflected In the.enormous sain
of Newbro’s llerplcldc. Discriminating ladies become
enthusiastic over its refreshing quality und (exquisite
fragrance.
A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY must have pretty hair.
The feature** may be quite plhln or even homely, yet
if the head is crowned with an abundance of bcuutlful
hnlr, attractiveness will not be licking. The poet
says: “fair trevses man’s Imperii! race ensnare.”
Herpicide give tho hnlr a charming distinctiveness
that I* characteristic of no other h"lr dressing.
DI8EA8ED HAIR A MISFORTUNE. Unsightly
or diseased hnlr is a misfortune In more ways than
one. There Is the actual Injury to the hair follicles.
nnd the consequent loss or thinning
of the hHlr; this may cause dlsenroa
that sometimes follow a removal or
thinning of nature's protection to
the head. A diseased condition of
the hair effects a woman’s disposi
tion to a marked degreo. If the hnlr
Is dull, brittle and lifeless, owing to the presence of
n irficroWf! g.owth, tho effect Is tn dampen one’s

ance. The use of Newbro’s Herpicide overcome* the
ravages of ihe dandruff microbe, after which the
natural beauty and abundance of the hair will return
as nature Intended. Almost marvelous results follow
the use of Herpicide. Gentlemen will find Newbro’s
Herpicide in iit-c at all important barber shops.

An Unhealthy Hair,
Liquozone la no now that fair pso-
pl. mils, how msny million, are us-
In* It. One year ago It «ti almost
unknown In America. Now nearly
half tha people you meet—wherever
you are—know aome one whom Llquo-
xone ha. cured. *
Don’t you realise that a product
which has spread like this must have
remarkable merit? We have never
aaked a soul to buy Ltquosone. We
have published no testimonials, no
evidence of cure*. We have only
asked the sick to let us buy the first
bottle—to let the product Itself show
what It could do. Thoee sick ones told
others, and the othera told othera. That
In how It spread.
Won't you do as those million, have
done? If you ere atlll using medicine
for what medicine ctnnot cure, won't
you learn what others know about Ll-
quosone? Won’t you let ua pay tha
cost of your test}
Not Medicine.
Liquozone Is not a medicine. It Is
not made by compounding add* or
drugs, nor I* there any alcohol In it.
It* ^virtues are derived solely from
ga*—largely oxygen gas—by a process
requiring Immense apparatus and 14
days' time. Each cubic Inch of Liquo-
znne requires the use of 1.250 cubic
Inches of the gas.
Liquozone is the result of*a pro
cess, which, for more than 20 years,
has been the constant * subject of
scientific and chemical research. T.ie
main result Is to get Into a liquid, and
thus Into the blood, a powerful, yet
harmless germicide. Another result
la to create a vitalizing tonic with
which no other known product can
compare.
Acts Like Oxygen.
The great value of Liquozone lies
In the fact that 1$ does what oxygen
does. Oyxgen Is th# vital part of air,
the very source of vitality, tho most
essential element of life. It la the
blood food, the nerve food, the scav
enger of the blood. It Is oxygen that
turns the blue blood to red In the
lungs; that eliminates the waste
tissue and builds up the new. Too
little oxygen always causes lack of
vitality. An excess of It gives
strength to every function of Nature.
Oxygen Is also a germicide. The
reason la that germs are vegetables;
and an excess of oxygen—the very
llf«f**>f an animal—is deadly to vege
tal matter.
Liquozone acts like oxygen. But
It does more than oxygen, because It
Is stable. It carries Its virtues Into
the blood to go wherever the blood
goes. It Is a remarkable tonic—the
best thing In the world for you. Yet
It Is a germicide so certain that we
publish on every bottle an offer of
$1,000 for a disease germ that it can
not kill.
The discoverer of Liquozone has
solved the great problem of killing
germs In the body, without killing the
tissues, too. And there Is no other
way. Any drug that kills germs Is a
poison, and It cannot be taken Inter
nally. Liquozone Is the only way
that any man knows to end the cause
of any germ disease.
We Paid Sioo.ooo
For the American rights to Llquo-
xone; and the British rights sold fo«*
a like sum. That is the highest price
ever paid for similar right* on any
sclent Ul«* disco very.
Before making this purchase, we
tested the product for two years,
through phyHlrirtRB and hospitals, in
this country and other*. We employ
ed It in all germ disease*; In thousand*
of the most difficult cases obtainable.
We proved that in germ troubles It d d
what ail the skill in the world could
not accomplish without U.
Now Liquozone Is more widely em
ployed then any medicine ever was. It
Is more widely prescribed by the better
physicians. An I no one esn doubt that
It Is doing mor* for sick humanity than
•II the drug* In use combine*].
Qerm Diseases.
These are the known germ diseases*
nil due to germs, nr to the poisons
which germi •»r<ne. These sre the
diseases to which medicine does not
apply, for drug* cannot kill inaid
germs.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles is to act as a tonic, aiding Na
ture to overcome the germs. But thosa
results are Indirect and uncertain.
They depend on the patient’s condition.
When drugs were prescribed for these
troubles, nobody knew of germs. Now
every good physician knows that they
call for a germicide.
Liquozone alone can destroy the
cause of these troubles It goes wher
ever the blood goes. No germ can es
cape It, and we have found no dlneace
germ which can resist It. Diseases
which have realsted medicine for years
yield at once to Liquozone, and It cures
diseases which medicine never cures.
Jn nny stage of any disease In this list,
the results are so certain that we will
gladly send to any patient who asks
It an abzoluto guaranty.
