if enacted into law, have the effect of
driving all

Situated on the Central of Georgia
NEWNAN, CA., FRIDAY. OCT. 19. I railway, and commonly known as a
“way station,” is one of the happiest
villages of some twenty• five families
the writer has ever known. Content
with thi-lr lot in life, free from vain
glory and the longing for more mon
ey—that makes folks miserable, tills
is a church-going, God-fearing, and
consequently contented people.
We have two general stores, three
dealers in groceries, two blacksmith
and wood shops, several cotton seed
agencies, one gin and saw-niill cora-

In 1803 the Legislature passed a ! operated by Messrs. McDonald and
bill Authorizing the Secretary of State Glass, now in its initial year, is doing
to charter fire insurance companies to
do business on the co-operative or
assessment plan, requiring no cnpital
and no deposit with the State. As a
result, a number of companies were
organized in Georgln, some of which
did a flourishing business for a time.
All of these companies, however,
have since gone into the hands of re
ceivers, and their affairs wound up
with considerable loss to policy-hold
ers in some instances.
Comptroller-General Wright’s re
commendation is that no fire insu
rance companies be chartered in
Georgia whoso cnpital stock is less
than $1,000,000, or which cannot show
assets amounting lo that much. Un
der the present law no foreign com
pany caii do business in the State un
til it has deposited $100 000 with tho
Stato Treasurer, and no company can
do business nt all whose impairment
amounts to '20 per cent.—that Is to
say, whoso liabilities exceed its nssots
to that extent.
In the matter of life insurance the
Comptroller recommends tlint the
State also quit issuing charters to co-
a thriving business, having handled
1,000 bnles of cotton the first mouth
of the season. The pull being mnde
here to do a fuir part of the cotton
business hns greatly enlivened all
lines of trade. Cotton hns sold us
high as ll'ac. this season, and
cotton seed nt 22!4 and ‘23 cents the
entire season. Some wideawake,
! enterprising man would find here ati
| excellent location for u department
| Btore.
A community that makes and mnr-
, kets 2,000 bales cotton, and buys and
; uses 20 cur-loads of guano, ought to
i be able to do a good business, and
j does.
One other thing we wish to say.

Commissioner Stovens on the Cotton
Crop
Atlanta, Oct. 15.—Commissioner
of Agriculture O. B. Stevens declares
that the present decline In the price
of cotton Is entirely unjustifiable. He
says that cotton is worth more than
It Is now bringing, and that, in hit)
opinion, tho whole crop will not ex-
coed 9,000,000 bales.
Commissioner Stevens stated that
thore was no reason for the fall in
price, known to him, except specula
tion. Ho further stated tlint the es
timate mado by the Southern Com
missioners of Agriculture on Aug. 30
was larger than tho crop would really
be, iu his opinion. That estimate was
9,305,600 bales. The estimate was
made subject to any deterioration in
the crop, and to early or late frost.
Since that time there has not been
any reaction in the crop, but it has
gradually deteriorated all the while.
There is no top crop; frost, either
late or early, would not affect the
crop at all, and this applies to all the
cotton States, from the best Informa
tion he could gather.
Mr. Stevens also stated that he had
been in direct communication with
the Commissioners of all the cotton
States, and Is now prepared to assert
that,iu his opinion, the present crop
will not be above 0,000,009 bailee, and
that a number of the Commissioners in
other cotton States estimate the crop
at less. He is very confident in his es
timate, but asserts that only time can
settle this question; that the people
who are trying to “beer” the market
are doing so without anything lo back
their efforts to put the price of cotton
down.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re

in body and mind, with con

This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved ; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri
