7Surface County Roads.
* The board of county commissioners
'have built some splendidly laid out
and graded roads and the work of the
board at the present time in these re
'spects is altogether commendable and
.praise worthy. Within the past jour
years Bartow county has done some
'excellent work in road building, ail ojt
which is attracting favorable attention
jand meeting with popular favor.
But the roads are not completed im
provements. They need surfacing to
!Insure longer durability. We are sure
that this suggestion will meet with the
approval of the members of the board
.themselves, as it does with a large
j number of large tax payers, who have
,no word of criticism to offer but that
• which is to really help the board un
i derstand that the people are behind it
Hin its efforts to furnish lasting high
! ways.
j In many respects the roads of this
.county are a model, a perfect pattern
to go by, when it comes to directness,
width, and grade. The only thing need
ed is that treatment which will insure
a long life of enjoyment for those who
are to use the roads.
Is it not then possible to make more
permanent the work that has been
done? The pleasure, and the really
useful purpose which such roads as
the Taylorsville, Euharlee and Cass- j
ville roads are now furnishing, ought
to be extended as Tong as possible.
Having given the people a taste of a ;
good road please, Mr. Commissioners, i
apply that treatment now to each of
these roads, and such others as may j
he undertaken, that will keep them j
smooth, free of ruts, and durable for !
a maximum of time.
We do not wish to tell how to do It.
The members of the board know, much
better than those who of us whb have
not had road building experience,
what to do to keep our roads in good
condition. But nearly all of know
that 'if the roads when they are laid
out, graded and made of proper width
can be covered over with a suitable
material, evenly distributed, and by
the use of a drag after rains and show
ers can be maintained at a high state
cf efficiency for aq indefinite length
of time.
For the board to do this will but add
to the many complimentary expres
sions which have gone forth concern
ing the board and their work in be
half of the county and we sincerely
hope that it will thus give us reason
to furnish this additional cause for
gratitude.
The Railways In War.
Under the above caption the News
Scimitar of Memphis has the follow- j
ing to say editorially:
“While the railways of the United
States are preparing to perform a very
important part in the war, it is high
time to consider legislation which will
free the transportation lines of this
ration from some of the impediments
which bar the way to a complete co
ordination of effort.
“The News Scimitar considers as
first and foremost the multiplicity of
Tegulatory bodies, which hamper com
mon action, and interfere with that
larger understanding, which is neces
sary to complete efficiency.
“That an interstate railroad should
bo subjected to the orders of two, four
or six different commissions—orders
which frequently conflict in intent and
■create endless confusion—is a condi
tion undesirable at any time, and es
pecially so now that any conflict may
become a national menace.

“Tanlac Mas Made a Real
Farmer of Me Once
More,” He Says. *
•1 suffered with stomach trouble for
twenty years, but I tell you, young
oan, this Tanlac medicine has about
ended my troubles, and what’s more
than that, i've gained fifteen pounds
slnee I began taking it," said J. H.
McCauley, a well-known and highly
respected farmer of Dade county, Geor
gia, in talking to the Tanlac represen
tative at the Live & Let Live Drug
Company, Chattanooga.
' Just think of a farmer having to
live on rav/ eggs and the like. Farm
ing is hard work, and a man ought to
have plenty of good, substantial food
tc keep going. But raw eggs was just
about ail I could eat, for my stomach
was in such a bad shape it couldn’t
stand much of anything. If I did eat
much 1 would have to pay for it after
ward. The pit of my stomach was as
sore as a boil and at times I would al
most choke with gas on my stomach.
I got so weak I could hardly stand on
my feet —much less work. 1 was con
stipated most of the time and had
dreadful dizzy spells. I’ve always said
farm life was the happiest life of all
but I tell you, a man in the shape I
was in couldn’t get much enjoyment
out of it.
"I tried one kind of medicine after
another, but none of it did me any
good until I got hold of Tanlac. Y be
gan taking it and felt better from the
first three or four doses. My appetite
picked up and I began to eat things I
hadn’t touched in months, and every
thing tasted good and agreed with me.
“When I began taking Tanlac I
weighed 137 pounds, but I've been gain
ing steadily ever since and now I
weigh 152 pounds, which is a ghin of
fifteen pounds. I am not bothered with
pains in my stomach any longer and I
feel good in every w r ay—just like I
had been made all over again. I’m_ not
constipated like I was, am no longer
nervous, and feel stronger tlian 1 have
in years. I am now able to work in the
field from sunrise to sunset, I go to
beef early and sleep good all night, and
wake up next morning feeling like a
sixteen-year-old. I’ve taken four bdt
iles of the medicine.
“Tanlac has made a real farmer of
me again, and you don't know how
happy I am. I just feel like telling ev
eryone I see what a wonderful thing
11 is.”

WHAT SOME GEOR
GIA AND ALABAMA
LANDS DID IN 1916
By Andrew M. Soule, Pres. Ga. State
College Of Agriculture
Reference has been made to the work
cf the test farms conducted jjo-oper
atively by the Central of Georgia Rail*
way and the State Colleges of Agri
culture at Athens, Ga., and Auburn,
Alabama. This work has now been in
progress five years, and in 1916 the
area embraced was 992 acres. The ob
ject of these test farms, briefly stated,
is to show that the application of sci
entific. principles to the cultivation of
the land in Georgia and Alabama would
increase the yields ordinarily obtained
by the average farmer, and that it is
possible through a rotation of crops to
increase the fertility of these lands,
secure a larger return per acre, reduce
the amount of man labor and increase
the horse labor.
It appears that a net profit of $21.30
per acre was made on the total area
cultivated last year. Man labor, horse
labor, fertilizers, rent of land, cost of
seed and all costs of making the crop
were charged against it.
It is noteworthy that the longer
these farms have been operated the
greater has become the average in
come and the less the average cost of
the crop per acre, showing that by
following the system of farming out
lined by the Colleges, the lands have
been built up. Some of the test farms
in 1916 show a loss, but every one is
familiar with the conditions which ob
tained during that season. The exces
sive floods were responsible.
Credit for the large profit obtained
last year is due in part to the abnor
mal price V>f cotton, which sold on an
average for 17.7 cents per pound, and
the seed for $56.00 per ton. However,
even if cotton had been selling at
prices which have ruled for several
years past, the profit per acre cn the
best managed test farms would still
have been very substantial. Farmers
who desire to study in detail the re
sults here briefly summarized .can easi
ly secure a copy of the test farm report
on application to the Agricultural De
partment of the Central of Georgia
Railway, at Savannah.
SPECIAL DAY IN THE
BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
The Baptist Sunday schools of the
slate, more than eighteen hundred in
number, will have a special day on
*:he first Sunday in Jung, at whi<!h
time there will be a special offering
for the charity work of the Georgia
Baptist Hospital.
This day is observed every year.
The superintendents and teachers of
all the Baptist Sunday schools of this
county are putting forth unusual ef
fort to make this offering the
largest they have ever had.
What This Money Is For.
The Georgia Baptist Hospital re
ceives the sick from every section of
the state. There is scarcely a county
in the state that has not sometime dur
ing the past four years sent some of
their sick poor and dependent ones to
this hospital, where they have been
treated free.
More than fifty crippled and deform
ed children have had their little limbs
straightened and many of them made
to walk. The most of these were from
the homes of the poor, who were un
able to furnish hospital care for these
little ones. More than five hundred
people have received' medical and hos
pital treatment free, and more than a
thousand have received free medical
treatment, paying only a small part of
the actual cost of their boqrd while in
the hospital. It is for this work the
Sunday schools are asked to make a
special offering on June 3.
This Is True Christianity.
A Christian is Christ-like, and Chris
tianity is doing the things which
Christ did. One of the things which
He devoted more of His time and
thought to was in treating the sick and
relieving the suffering, causing the
lame to walk and the blind to see. This
is the work to which the Georgia Bap
tist Hospital is devoting its efforts,
and while its aims are primarily to
care for the poor, yet Its efforts are
limited only by the gifts-of the church
es and Sunday schools.
None are ever turned from its doors
except for a lack of rooms and funds.
Here every class, condition, and creed
are welcomed. Her© all can find op
portunity to express the spirit of
j Jesus in their gifts. To fail here is to
fail in the fundamentals of Christian
ity, for here we are providing for those
of our own land and country. “He that
provideth not for his own hath denied
the faith and is worse than an infidel.’’
$20,000 will be needed this year from
the Sunday schools to care for all the
sick poor who are coming to the Geor
gia Baptist Hospital. every super
intendent work the plan which he has
received, and this sum will be raised.
Jesus will say to all who give, “As oft
as ye have done it unto one of the
least of these sick ones, ye have'-done
it unto Me.”

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
lets Like Dynamite on a Sluggish
Liver and You Lose a
Day’s Work.
There’s no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating caL
omel when 50 cents buys a large bot
tle of Dodson’s Liver Tone—a per
fect substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not saliva'e.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson’s Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones,
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don’t lose a
day’s work. Take a spoonful of Dod
son’s Liver Tone instead and you
will wake up feeling great. No more
biliousness, constipation, sluggish
ness, headache, coated .tongue or
sour stomach. Your druggist says if
you don’t find Dodson’s Liver Tone
acts better than horrible calomel
your money is waiting for you.
SAYS PHOSPHATES MAKE BEAU
TIFUL WOMEN AND STRONG,
I HEALTHY, VIGOROUS, RO
BUST MEN.
Physicians all over the world are pre
scribing phosphates to build up run
vdown enemic conditions and those
who have treated their patients
with Argo-Phosphate are
changing thin, enemic wo
men with toneless tissues,
flabby flesh, into the
most beautiful rosy
cheeked and plump
round formed wo
men imagin
able.-
Atlanta, Ga. —Dr. Jacobson said in a
recent interview that 90 per cent of
enemia comes from nervous break
down which can only be corrected by
supplying the necessary phosphates
1o the nervous system that is lacking
in the food you eat, and this can be
quickly supplied by taking one or two
o-grain Argo-Phosphate tablets after
each and at bed time. It will in
many cases make a pale serawney face
the picture of health in a few days, I
have seen women that I expected
would have to be kept under treat
ment for months restored to perfect
health in one or two weeks time.
SPECIAL NOTICE. The Argo-Phos
phate recommended by Dr. F. H.
Jacobson contains phosphates such as
are prescribed by leading physicians
throughout the w'orld, and it will be
fomjd the most effective form for
treating patients with Nervous Dys
pepsia, Stomach troubles, Brain Fag,
Nervous Prostration. It will renew
youthful vim and vigor, and build'up
the whole body. If your druggist will
not supply you with Argo-Phosphate,
send SI.OO for two weeks treatment,
to Argo Laboratories, 10 Forsyth St.,

without griping, and you have a well,
