NEWMAN, FRIDAY, JAN. 28.
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
Why
50,000,000 Bales of Cotton Re
quired Forty Years Hence.
Greenville, MIbs., Jan, 17. —Forty
years hence the world will require of the
United StateB a round 60,000,000 bales
of cotton from which to fashion its cloth
ing. These astonishing figures were
given to-day by Dr. Seaman A. Knapp,
of the Department of Agriculture, who
delivered an address here on "Cotton
the Greatest of Cash Crops.” The Gov
ernment expert iB concluding a speaking
tour of the Southern States under the
auspices of the Southern railway.
“Look for a moment at the increased
demands for cotton," said Dr. Knapp.
“If you note carefully, you observe
that it has doubled once in about 21
years. I f wo estimate 13,000,000 baleB as
a minimum Bupply on the part of the
United States for the world’s clothing
at the present time, we go back 21 years
and find that a little more than 6,000,-
000 bales were sufficient at that time,
and 22 years prior to that 3,000,000 bales
filled the demands, while 22 years be
fore that 1,500,000 met the exigencies
of trade.
“If wo pursue the same line for the
future, we discover that in 1932 the
world will require of us 20,000,000 hales,
and in 1954 62,000,000 bales of cotton
must be produced in the United States.
Here is one of the most wonderful op
portunities for wealth that has been
known within the historic period. Our
lands nnd climate aje exceedingly well
adapted to the production of the fleecy
staple, and the intelligence of the far
mers of the South and their long ex
perience with cotton have equipped
them to do the work and do it well.”
Diversification of crops and a lesser
acreage in cotton, but with a greater
yield per acre, is advocated by Dr.
Knapp to meet the situation. He laid
especial emphasis on the need for good
drainage on the plantations, in order
that the planters n ay got a good stand.
Of equal importance, he pointed out,
was the seed bed, the seed and the
subsequent cultivation of tho growing
crop. He also advanced tho necessity
f>r planting early maturing varieties
of cotton that puts forth fruit limbs
among tho first branches.
The rotation of crops ulong scientific
lines, in tho opinion of tho Government
expert, would compel the breaking up
of many of tho large plantations and
tho adoption of a plan of cultivation
along co-operative linos.
“It certainly will modify vory much
the tenant plan,” he said, "for hitherto
we have leased our lands and allowed
the tenant to form at h|s will. In fu
ture the successful planter will be
obliged to have his plantation super
vised and his work dono according to
definite plans. .
“In tho case of a large numborof in
dependent farmers it will require that
one man be employed to supervise and
give special direction to tho small far
mers, because it will never bo safe, un
der boll weevil conditions, to allow the
old, loose way of cultivating cotton to
continue. It is sure to result in failure.
In fact, it-has always bocn a failure to
a certain extent."
In the South’s preparation to meet
tho world’s increasing demund for its
greatest orop, the* towns and cities
would have to bear a share," said. Dr.
Knapp. In order to care for the labor
the growth of the industry would de
mand in tho summer, and which would
be practically idle in the winter months,
industries.would have to be established
that would care for this idle army.
“In some sections some of these in
dustries will be carried on only in the
winter,” he said. "Thus the farmer
will be obliged to find more continuous
labor for his employees. Hitherto he
has expected that the tenant farmer or
the farm laborer would earn all that
was necessary during the Bummer, but
we are coming into a more strenuous
lifo pn-t Inbor must be provided for the
•winter.”
HOME INDORSEMENT.
Hundreds of Newnan Citizens Can
Tell You All About It.
Home endorsement, the public ex
pression of Newnan people, should bo
evidence beyond dispute for every New

friends and neighbors, cheerfully given

the utterances of strangers residing in
faraway places. Read the following:
W. D. Hill, 61 Murray street, New

ceived a severe fall, and. ns a result,
my kidneys became affected. After
that 1 was a constant sufferer from
backache, the pains sometimes extend
ing into my shoulders, and even as far
as my neck. When I procured Doan's
Kidney Pills at Lee Bros’, drug store
I was in quite a serious condition, and
placed all my hopes in their bringing
me relief. I was not disappointed, for,
after a short use, they entirely cured
me. I have not had tne least sign of
kidney trouble since, and I willingly

Moderate Drinking Does
Not Pay.
McClure's Mssulns.
A well-known novelist who was for
years a moderate drinker writes his
experience. He found in the end that
it didn’t pay.
“It should be borne in mind,” he
says, “that I am not dealing with con
firmed drunkenness—drinking that has
become an organic necessity. Inebrie
ty is a disease, as much so as tubercu
losis, and must be so considered and
treated. I am dealing with the custom
of drinking as it is practiced by the
great majority of men who drink at all.
And, for that very reason, I think that
testimony like mine should be sugges
tive and valuable. I have absolutely
no prejudice against the custom; and
yet, though I never abuse it, socially
speaking, and am still a worshiper of
Dionysus (from afar), I do not hesitate
to declare that moderate drinking does
not pay.
“I have tried it, I know. No one
can tell me anything about its joys and
satisfactions. I have also tried total
abstinence. As a consequence, I feel
better, sleep better, work better, en
joy life more, and have increased my
usefulness as a citizen.
"Drinking is a pleasure that may be
innocent, but must be paid for, like sit
ting up late to play bridge or to finish
a novel; a recreation with something
to be said for it, like speeding an auto
mobile, exciting, but dangerous; an
indulgence, like overwork, which some
times seems necessary, but is seldom
worth the price. Drinking does not
pay-”

Hasn’t Time to Write His Ads.
Advertising Tips.
“Yes, I believe in advertising, but I
simply don’t have the time to attend to
it.” A few merchants are not adver
tising, they say, because this is the
case. The busiest, best and most suc
cessful merchants over the country find
timo to prepare their advertisements.
Numbers of tho most successful mer
chants, too, never leave tho prepara
tion of an advertisement to any one.
They attend to this important duty
personally. No matter how busy they
may get, they always find time to at
tend to this matter.
Every day you put off the question of
advertising, waiting to find time to
give it your close study, you are losing
just that much. And what you are
losing your competitor is gaining. He
has convinced'himself that ho must find
time to attend to his advertising per
sonally, ahd lets nothing prevent.
If your business is old and well es
tablished you have a tremendous ad
vantage, but if you are not advertising
as you should, you had just as well
stop and make a note that your com
petitor around the corner who is adver
tising systematically and continuously
will be pushing you sooner or later.
The longer you wait, the harder you’ll
find the push, too.

Doubly Discounted.
The man who has the fragrance of
spirituous liquors on his breath is dis
counted everywhere, and under all cir
cumstances. Nobody attaches any im
portance to the things he says. He may
utter great truths, and scatter shining
samples of philosophy, and say things
as sweet ns the song of tho bulbul to
the rose, but everybody will attribute
his outpourings to the inspiration of
John Barleycorn, and will invito him to
seek a hermitage in a howling wilder
ness nnd hide there forever. The man
with the pickled breath soon becomes
so lonesome that he doesn't know what
to do with himself, Of course, he can
associate with other men whose breaths
are pickled, but there is no fun in that,
fjr he wants to do. all the talking, and
the others are afflicted the same way.
People whose breaths comply with the
pure food law always dodge him. They
had rather walk around six blocks, or
hide under a sidewalk,' than listen to
his talking for two minutes. There
is nothing more disagreeable than the
pickled breath, ard there is nothing
more penetrating. The man who pos
sesses it may bo talking in the base
ment of a hotel, yet the people in the
fourteenth story rooms will think that
tie gas is escaping. Is it surprising
t lat there isn’t a welcome anywhere
for the man with the magenta breath?

Conjugal Kissing.
Where one wife is now kissed with
some pretense at regularity by the man
who was always swearing before mar
riage that he would eat her up before
the year was out, it is safe to say that
ninety-seven other women go moping
around the house with lips parching
from neglect, burning biscuit and run
ning down shoes in sheer despair, for
want of that encouragement that an oc
casional kiss Would probably give. This
is not as it should be, for a kiss after
marriage is relished equally with those
bestowed before marriage, and if you
want to see your wife tripping about
with melody in her soul and her feet
like cork, just imprint on her lips an
occasional lovers’ kiss.
All that most married women need to
make them beings of light and jewels
of gladness, is more kisses from the old
man and less growling about how the
potatoes are fried. No woman can be
an angel without a sip of nectar now
and then, and the husband who fails to
grant a supply of ambrosia to the sprites
in muslin who make paradise on earth
a possibility, deserves to be “hen-peck
ed” all his days.
Rov. I. W. Williams Testifies.

A nagging husband is forever draw
ing contrasts between his wife as she
is and as she was. He also draws con
trasts between his wife and other wo
men. There is nothing particularly
sinful in this. Women are too much
disposed to take it for granted that
marriage means the extinction of the
aesthetic sense in the husband. It does
not mean anything of the kind. There
is no reason why the aesthetic sense
should not be as strong in a man after
he is married as before he is married.
In faot, it'is so. The average woman
is too much disposed to shed her plum
age when she marries. The average
man is more disposed to keep his, and
makes himself proportionately more
interesting. The average woman says
when she gets married, “Thank good
ness that I have come thus far. It is
over, and I am fixed for life.” Then
she settles down. This settling down
means a great deal. In it is involved
the disenchantment, the disillusionments
spoken of above. Too much is revealed,
The actuality becomes too bald.
Language to Suit.
The selection of the right word to
convey one's meauing is sometimes
more important than the rules of gram
mar. So it appeared to the bridge po
liceman, who is. an alert sociological
student.- An East Side resident of for
eign birth was taken before the Magis
trate in one of the police courts charged
with a trivial offense.
“Tell him he must not do it again.
He is discharged,” the Magistrate said
to the policeman of the bridge.
"The Judge says you dassent do it.
Understand?” almost shouted the po
liceman to the prisoner.
“Hol'd on, officer. I didn’t dare him
to break the law again. I said ‘must
not.’ ”
“That’s all right, Your Honor. He
understands what I said better’n he
would what you said,” explained the
policeman. And the prisoner seemed
to think so, too.
In our common schools, academies,
colleges and universities, each have
their course of study, and text-books
for the same; and as a student masters
each branch the text-books are laid
aside and he graduates to a higher
Bchool. But in the Sabbath-school it is
different. We have our text-book for the
whole course, and that course should be
for life. In the bible there are truths
which the merest child can understand
and depths of thought which the most
learned cannot fathom. It may be
called the railway guide on the road to
heaven, and the Sabbath-schools are
lunch counters along the way at which
we may refresh ourselves. One of the
grandest sights for mortal eye is a
whole family, from the tottering grand
parents down to the prattling child, all
in school^and studying the same lesson,
and that lesson for eternity. A person
should never be too old, too rich or too
wise to cease being a Sabbath-school
student.

CURES
’* RHEUMATISM
Rheumatism is a specific blood fermentation, a souring
of the circulation from an excess of uric acid accumulating
in the blood stream. This uratic impurity comes usually as
a result of constipation, weak kidneys, indigestion and stom
ach disturbances. These systemic irregularities may not be
of marked severity or of long duration, but each has a direct
effect on the eliminative members of the body, which prevents
the proper removal of the waste products. This refuse re
mains in the stomach and bowels, and souring forms uric
acid, which the blood quickly absorbs,
Rheumatism is usually manifested in the joints and
muscles. It is here Its sharpest twinges of pain are felt, and
stiffening of ligaments and tendons first commence. The
pain of Rheumatism is caused by the contact of the Hensory
nerves with the gritty, acrid formation which uric acid causes
to accumulate in the corpuscles of the blood about the joints. The stiff
ening of muscles and joints is usually gradual. Constantly the blood-
deposits the uric acid into the joints, and slowly the natural fluids are dried
up and destroyed. Then Rheumatism becomes chronic and serious. Rheuma
tism is sometimes inherited, for like all
blood diseases it can be transmitted to-
offspring. This explains why some-
persons are afflicted with the disease,
and suffer its pains, who have otherwise
been perfectly healthy.
S.S.S. cures Rheumatism and cures,
it permanently. It goes into the circu
lation, and removes the uric acid,
purifies the blood, and in this way
destroys the cause. S. S. S. changes-
the blood from a sour, acid-steeped
stream to a rich, healthy fluid, which
quiets the excited nerves, eases the
throbbing muscles and painful joints, and filters out of the circulation the
irritating matter which causes every painful symptom of the disease. When
the blood has been purified and enriched by S.S.S., it nourishes the different,
members that have been weakened and starved because of imperfect blood..'
