THE PRICE.
It's nnothor cent on the price of milk,
And a cent on tho price of tea.
And ft cent on thi* nnd u cent on that.
To be paid by you nnd me—
To be paid by you and by mo. my mnn.
But it oughtn't to make uh rage.
Or to mnko uh mnd if they’d only add
A cent us well to our wage.
It’a only n cent on n pound of meat.
On u loaf from the flour of the whont,
And n cent on tho clothes we’ve got to wear,
And n cent on nil that wo out.
Oh, they haven't forgot a thing, my mnn.
Prom your nhocii nnd your coot to your hat,
Excepting tho pay you earn each day—
Thoy'vo added no cont to that.
But every cent they add, my man,
Ih n cent they’ve got to pay,
When a halt we call to their greed nnd nil.
And thnt time will come Horne day.
And tho cent thnt you pay to-dny. my man—
To-day when you're sore oppressed—
Will bo yours when due, nnd it’a up to you
To collect it with Interest.
The Country’s Necessity is the
Farmer’s Opportunity.
Macon Telegraph.
The Telegraph hns been giving some
facta and figures during tho last week
or ten days which, to our mind, pre
sent to the farm owners in Georgia
the greatest opportunity that has come
to any generation of farmers; opportu
nity, because of the need of stock-rais
ing. .
The Telegraph calls on tho weekly
nnd daily preBS of the State and the
South to join in a campaign of informa
tion and education on this lino.
The Telegraph has shown that the
prices of beof, pork and its by-products
mutton, chickens, eggs, butter and
imilk—taken on an average—has never
been as high as now, barring of course
the war prices of the ’60's.
Thfe Telegraph has shown that in I860,
when tho population of Georgia was 1,-
057,580, there were in this State 2.0.30,-
110 hogs. In 1907, with a population of
2,700,000, there were only 1,669,000
Oiogs. With the population more than
•doubled, the number of hogs has been
reduced nearly one-half.
Tho Telegraph has shown that in
1800 thoro Wore 299,088 milch cows.
In 1907, 308,000—an increase of only
8,312. That in 1800 thoro were oxen
and other cattle, 706,194. In 1907, 680,-
090—decrease of 26,194. That in I860
there wore 512,018 Bheep. In 1907, 209,-
000—a decrease of 243,018.
Those figures are amazing, nnd yet
they are based on actual statistical re
turns.
Tho Telegraph lias shown that in
1890, when Georgia's population was
1,837,353, Georgia farmers owned 1,-
'027,008 swine. In 1907, when tho pop
ulation had increased to 2,700,000, the
swine owned by Georgia farmers de
creased to 1,699,000—a loss of 28,008.
That in 1890, tho sheep owned by Geor
gia farmers numbered 411,870. In 1907
they bad decreased to 269,000—a loss of
approximately one-half. That in 1890
■Georgia owned 354,018 milch cows. In
1907 the number fell to 308,000—a loss
•of 4B,G18.
Amazing figures, these!
Tlio Telegraph has shown that the
numbor of cattle killed in the United
States in 1907 Was 7,621,717; in 1909 it
had fallen to 7,325,337; durirlg the same
period there was an increase in the num
ber of calves killed from 1,703,574 to
2,047,713. The receipts of hogs at tho
markots fell 13.8 per cont. from 1908 to
1909. When the panic of 1907 came k on
most of tho farmers in the West sold
their hogs because food was too high
to foed them and these brooding herds
have not been replaced.
Tho country’s necessity is the far
mer’s opportunity.
Here we have a rapidly diminishing
meat Btipply, and a consequent rapidly
advancing price for all moat products.
There is also a coincident scarcity of
corn arfd other grain supplies.
Ttie causes for the scarcity of grain
and meat is summed up by Secretary
Wilson ns follows: 1. The production
of stock cattle has been diminished by
rango abandonment; 2, new demands
for corn on farms for beof production;
3, high price of corn; 4, high prices of
all meat, partly because pf high corn
prices; 5, the production stock of hogs
was reduced in 1907; 6, high farm-land
values; 7, both supply and cost of meat
production unite to raise meat prices;
8, for seventy years the production of
meat has declined relative to popula
tion; 9, meat exports increased until
1906, after which they shnrply declined.
Where is the land that is fairer than
this for profit-making in stock-raising?
The call is to the soil, and to the
cattle herds and stock,-pens. Will the
farmers heed that call?
A Safeguard to Children.
“Our two children of six nnd eight
years have been since infancy subject
to colds and croup. About three years
ago 1 started to use Foley’s Honey and
Tar, and it lias never failed to prevent
and cure these troubles. It is tne only
medicine 1 can get the children to take
without a row.’’ The above from W.
C. Grnstein, Green Bay, Wis., duplicates
the experience of thousands of other
users of Foley’s Honey and Tar. Sold
by all druggists.
“When I arose to speak,” related a
martyred statesman, "some one hurled
a base, cowardly egg at me and it
struck me in the chest. ”
"And what kind of an egg might that
be?" asked a fresh young man.
’A base, cowardly egg,” explained
that ' ‘
The Fascinating Woman.
Fascinating women are the real rul
ers of the world. The power wielded
by the woman posseaeed of charm, mag
netism, spiritual energy, call It by what
name you will, is almost unlimited.
The beautiful woman may be fascina
ting; the fascinating woman need not
be beautiful.
The difference between the merely
lovely woman and the one who exerts
that compelling charm we call fascina
tion, is the difference between dew and
fire.
The dew is beautiful, delicate, won
derful. But it leaves the heart un
touched, it calls forth no unknown and
undreamed-of emotion.
Like the lambent flame, the fascina
ting woman is ever changing, ever ra
diant, throwing out tiny tongues of fire
in the form of wit, symbolizing the life
force that thrills through all creation.
Fascination is power inscrutable. It Ib
to rule.
WebBter defines fascination as the
ability to enchant, bewitch, captivate.
It is all this and more, and it is the only
beautificr that cannot bo bought in the
modern beauty parlor.
The husband or lover of a supremely
fascinating woman has not the easiest
lot in life, but he has this recompense—
he never knows' what it is to be bored
in his lady’s company.
For that one blessing a man ought to
bo willing to turn his back on the rosy
paths of peace. Any woman can hold a
man’s attention and interest tor a short
time; it is tho fascinating woman who
never palls, who can exert a subtle
charm after years of association, when
the familiar becomes the commonplace.
Women who have possessed this mys
terious quality have dominated their
age. From tho dim recesses of the
tomb they still influence the world, giv
ing a glamor and charm to the printed
page of history.
Such women need not fear to die or
grow old. Tamer women can never fill
the niche they have occupied in the
hearts and minds of those who loved
them.
It is not wit nor knowledge, nor the
pink-and-whito of youthful bloom that
lends to a woman {his potent power to
enthrall.
Many uneducated women are fascina
ting. Women with snub noses and Rus
sian leather complexions have swayed
the minds and hearts of men in all
times.
Tlie cause goes deeper than the color
and texture of eyes and hair or the
ability to speak several languages.
Neil Gwynn, the bitter-sweet “Nell
of Old Drury,”illustrates perfectly the
abandon, the diablerie, the gayety and
seductiveness of the fascinating tem
perament. ^

Again and again the question is asked,
Can a woman follow any special calling,
and be n good mother? Love is born; so
is good sense. The woman who has
those qualities will he a good mother,
whether she is hand-worker or head-
worker. It is not difference in station
or occupation that makes the good
mother; it is the spirit. Furthermore,
some of the best mothers, according to
the old standard—women who toil early
nnd late, who never leave their homes,
who deny themselves every comfort
and give up every right have the worst
children. They do the hardest work,
they wear the poorest clothes, they try
to save their children from every hard
ship, only to learn when it is too late
that they have made them idle and sel
fish.
Most Southerners are gallant. An
exception is the Georgian who gave his
son this advice:
"My boy, never run after a woman
or a street car—there will be another
along in a minute or two.”
A child may get everything he wants,
but the average man is lucky if he gets
anything he wants.
Stomach Misery for Over Six Years
Think of it! After six years of sour
stomach, of gas eructation, of nervous
ness, during which time every meal lay
on his stomach like a lump of lead, a
man was restored to perfect health by
Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
Read what Mr. Hoffman, landlord of
the Webster Hotel, writes:
'I suffered misery and intense pains
from stomach trouble for over six years,
and all the doctoring thnt I did or med
icines I used were of no avail until about
two years ago, when I used a treatment
of Mi-o-na. The first few days’ treat
ment helped me greatly, and upon using
it a while I was made entirely free
from any stomach trouble or complaint
whatever. Since the cure by Mi-o-na I
have regained my weight, I eat and
sleep well, am never nervous, and my
entire general health is much better.”
—Max M. Hoffman, Webster, N. Y.,
Aug. 2, 1909.
Mi-o-na relieves stomach distress in
five minutes. It acts like magic. It is
guaranteed to cure sour stonrach, gas
eructations, heartburn, dizziness, bil
iousness and nervousness, or money
back. For sale by druggists everywhere
and by Brown & Brooks f..r 50 cents a

A STARTLING STATEMENT.
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia to be a Pre-Dispos-
lng Cause of Consumption.
The poBt mortem statistics of the big
New York hospitals show that some
cases of consumption are due, at least
indirectly, to unchecked dyspepsia, es
pecially when the victim was pre-dis-
posed to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain. The weakened, irritable stomach
being unable to digest food, the body
doeB not receive the required nourish
ment, and the victim becomes thin,
weak and haggard. As a result, the
body becomes a fertile field in which
the germs of disease may lodge and
flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
djspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing toward the de
velopment of one of the most insidious
and fatal diseases known to mankind,
Dyspepsia may be completely eradf
cated if properly treated. We sell £
remedy that we positively guarantee
will completely relieve indigestion or
dyspepsia, or the medicine used during
the trial will cost the user nothing.
This remedy has been'named Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no offer
could be more fair, and our offer should
be proof positive that Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are a dependable remedy.
Inasmuch as the medicine will cost
you nothing if it does not benefit you,
we urge you who are suffering with in
digestion or dyspepsia to try Rexall
Dyspepsia Tsblets. A 25-cent box con
tains enough medicine for fifteen days’
treatment. For chronic cases we have
two larger sizes, 50 cents and $1.00.
Remember, you can obtain Rexall Rem
edies in Newnan only at our store—The
Rexall Store. Holt & Cates Co.

For the best and deepest enjoyments
that come to us, little we realize how
much is due to smiles. Savages do not
smile. Coarse, brutal, cruel men may
laugh, but they do not smile. The bene
diction, the radiance, which “fills the
silence like a speech,” is the smile of a
full, appreciative heart. The face that
grows finer as it listens, and then
breaks into sunshine instead of words,
has a subtle, charming influence uni
versally felt, though very seldom un
derstood.
