Terrible Agony of the Users of
Morphine.
The morphine habit is a disease, ami
one for which in the majority of cases
the doctors are responsible. Such iB
the substance of a remarkable address
on the effects of drugH, delivered by re
quest before the New York County
Medical Society by Dr. Foster Kenne
dy.
We have no right lo despise the- vic-
t ini, to slain him, lo regard him as a
"weak, besotted creature, willing to
make a compact with the powers of
evil that lie may snatch for a space vis
ions of dream delights in an atmosphere
of debauched sensuousness. He almost
always made his first acquaintance with
the drug at the hands of some medical
practitioner, who hut- been ignorant in
most cases of the seed he sows, igno
rant of the necessity of seeing that
proper elimination of the poison be pro
vided for, and actuated only by a desire
to relieve immediate pain.
The effect of morphine on the system
is to soothe the higher nervouH centers,
hut at the same time it dulls into "com
plete inactivity the lower nervous cen
ters, on which depend the patient’s
power to get rid of waste material
from the body. The drainage system
becomes blocked and barred, and a Mood
of chemical waste iH rushed back to sat
urate cells already vitiated by an exter
nal agent.
"Further,” continued l)r. Kennedy,
"it is highly probnble that to combat
the drug the body Hocretes part of it in
the liver and attempts to antagonize
the portion not thus disposed of by the
development of an antibody, a sub
stance in itself poisonous both to the
organism and to the invading toxin.
When the drug has been cut off—often
summarily—this antibody, only partly
combated by the residue in the liver,
produces in the unfortunate individual
not discomfort, as the symptoms are of
ten naively described in medical text
books, lint acute physical distress, char
acterized by intense pain in the abdo
men, accompanied by profuse sweating,
the face being ashen gray in color, the
heart irregular in its action, and the
pulse feeble and of poor volume; in
some few eases collapse and death may
end the scene. It is these withdrawal
symptoms which cause the continuance
of the drug, and its use, fur from en
hancing the patient’s consciousness and
joy in living, only helps him to approach
normality and comfort.
"Against such collapse and pain the
unaided will is ns powerless as it is to
control the amount of air entering the
lungs.” ,
The victim will now lie and steal to
get the drug that alone gives relief to
his bodily agonies, but "there is noth
ing inherent in the drug to cause Ins
moral degradation in those activities of
life in which his addiction has no part.
There can be no telling how many sad
victims of this disease there may he
among people who are of the highest
qualities, morally and intellectually, and
of the greatest value to their communi
ties, who, if driven by sudden depriva
tion of their drug, and by morphine
hunger, might be led to felony or vio
lence to rid themselves of a distress of
the intensity of which there can be no
adequate description.
The victim will fight the craving, and
seek every possible cure. The attitude
of his fellow-men who regard him as a
pariah stands in his way, and only too
frequently he gives up the struggle in
despair.
The growing frequency of the use of
herein, a derivative of morphine, was
touched upon by Dr. Kennedy, who suid
it usually began as a vice and continued
aH a physical need.
Cocaine produces no bodily craving,
as do the derivatives of opium, “and by
the exercise of the will can be stopped
more readily by far than can the use of
alcohol.” The constant ubg of it is
"sheer debauchery,” the ultimate ef
fects of which "are more terrible than
any other drug—the power of decision
goes, morality is dead, and, long before
the stage of madness has been reached,
with its morbid suspicions, its sense of
persecution ending so often in acts of
violence and murder, the man is sunk
below the level of his fellow creatures,
unspeakably degraded, perverted, lost."
The One-Crop System.
Hon. W. A. Brannon, In Atlanta Journal.
In the early part of this year I ad
vanced through your columns the the
ory that growing corn and peas would
net a larger profit than growing cotton
—i. e., where the work is done with
hired labor or where the farmer has all
his work to do alone. This provoked
some controversy and my theory was
judged as being only a paper and pen
cil affair.
However, it was backed by some
practical previous experience, and now,
without any desire to exploit my own
humble achievement and with the hope
of leading possibly a few "out of the
wilderness,” I write to say that I have
planted liberally in corn land peas this
year, and after keeping an account of
expenses, with the present lighLs and
prospects before me am sorry I did not
plant more corn and peas.
Will illustrate with one farm run
willi hired labor, two plows of corn and
peas and three plows of cotton. Two
hired men, with two mules, properly
plunted and cultivated eighty acres in
corn; now laid by with a’promising row
of peas in every middle. Cost, for
labor $210; commercial fertilizers $264;
allow $500 for land rent, mule feed and
incidentals, makes total cost of $1,004.
Good judges say the crop is safe for
3,000 buBhels of corn. The peas and
stover will certainly more than pay for
gathering. Net profit of course de
pends on price of corn. (War prices
high.) Much of the crop will be fed to
cattle and hogs. (War prices high.) I
calculate ultimately realizingjabovo $1
per bushel; worth now $1.10 per bushel.
Seventy-five acres in cotton has cost
$550 for labor, and is laid by, and $575
for commercial fertilizers. Allowance
for land rent, etc., in same proportion,
is $600, making total cost $1,725. Lib
eral estimate of yield, fifty bales of
cotton, and at that it will require a
price of 15c. per pound for the three-
mule crop to equal the two-mule corn
crop in net profit.
1 have given round numbers, which
are practically correct. This farm is
about five miles south of Moreland, and
1 would be pleased to show any doubt
ing Thomas the crops and the books of
my superintendent, which show the
cost in exact ligures.
1 say again, it is strange indeed that
the farmers of Georgia cling to the
one-crop system to such an extent that
it makes it necessary for more $100,000,-
000 worth of feedstuff, etc., to be
shipped in annually from other States.
The approach of the boll weevil, and
the alarming and rapid increase of cot
ton-growing in China, India and other
| foreign countries, are against us, to say
nothing of the ever menacing influence
of foreign wars.
We are told by historians that the
practice of a one-crop system by an
agricultural people has always brought
poverty to them as a result of their
folly. Foreign wars or foreign peace,
a great majority of our people would
have no real cause for apprehension if
our farmers would use their brain, pen
cil and paper in planting and prose
cuting farm work.

The Fight Far Food.
Now York World.
Various dealers in food, big and little,
have declared war upon the American
people. The aggression of which they
are guilty iB as ruthless in some re
spects as that shown by nations inarms
against their enemies. No autocrat
ever proceeded with bolder assumption.
No conqueror ever devastated a pros
trate state with a lighter heart.
At a moment when the people in
Congress are making extraordinary ef
forts to provide an outlet across the
se^s for the surplus food of this country
the owners of and gamblers in that
food are kiting prices. If Government
should do nothing to relieve the situa
tion as to exports, food is so abundant
that it would soon be rotting in our
warehouses and much of it would never
come to market at all.
This is the state of affairs which,
with war in Europe, has led the glut
tons of the granaries and groceries to
anticipate famine, to monopolize plen
ty, and with no excuse better than a
speculative theory as to the future to
inflict upon their own countrymen bur
dens that would not be endured if im
posed by Government. Never before
was there such widely organized eager
ness for gain. It is a rapacity which
cannot wait. In the belief and hope
that there is soon to be starvation in
Europe, where ail is war, it introduces
privation in America. Where all is
peace. It is continental. It is also
local.
Nothing of this kind comes about by
accident. The men who are cornering
food in the United States operate with
the precision of a well-trained army.
They act in concert. They have a plan
of campaign. They have their cap
tains of tens and their captains of
thousands. From highest to lowest the
one controlling motive is greed. They
do not advantage by circumstances.
They take advantage of circumstances.
Scarcity is not making them rich. It
is forestalling and coercing and extor
tion that they are depending upon to
make them rich.
In the presence of a conspiracy so
monstrous every prosecuting officer in
the country, Federal, State, county and
city, is bound no less by decent man
hood than by his oath of office to as
sail this piracy. The assertion that we
see merely the law of supply and de
mand in operation is false. Our sup
plies of most food products greatly ex
ceed the demand, and are likely to do so
for months to come. It is not true and
natural law, but untrue and unnatural
law, that is now in force. Privation has
been manufactured to order, not as a
result of the demands of the day, but in
response to the desperate theory that
before another harvest enriches the
earth hunger will rule in some portions
of Europe. Avarice, its eyes upon
foreigners, has already undertaken to
strangle Americans.
There are statutory laws that will
reach this crime. There is common
law in many States that is even more
drastic. A thousand prosecutors in as
many important counties would show
in a week whether food is deficient or
merely monopolized, whether rising
prices are due to circumstances or to
combinations, and whether the starva
tion that threatens is justified by ne
cessity or exists only in the evil imag
ination and the vicious practices of a
colossal commercial scoundrelism.
District Attorney Whitman of New
York should not be the last of these
prosecuting officers to act with vigor
and intelligence.

ReBotnihwns an tbs Death of Wi 8.
Copeland.
Bro. W. S. Copeland was bom Deo.
28, 1847, and departed this life April'
27, 1914* He joined the Baptist ohurch
at New Lebanon when a young man.
The church ordained him a deacon a
few yearsafter he joined. About twen
ty years ago he moved his membership
to Macedonia church, and was a. useful
member until his death. Bro. Copeland
always looked on the bright side of ev
ery picture, and was ever ready to up
lift fallen humanity. He loved his
brethren and friends with a devotion,
that greatly endeared him to. the peo
ple of his county. At the time of his
death he was president of the County
Boys’ Corn Club, a position that he
was very proud of, and the boys es
teemed him as the right man in the
right place. He was on the building
committee when we erected our pres
ent house of worship, and by his close
application and perseverence rendered
valuable service to the church. There
fore, be it resoleed—
1. That in the death of Bro. Copeland
the church has lost one of its most use
ful members.
2. That we tender sincere condolence
to the bereaved children and relatives,
and trust they may emulate his many
virtues.
3. That these resolutions be spread
upon our minute book, and the same be
sent The Herald and Advertiser for
publication. J. R. Stamps,

Adopted by Macedonia church July 4,

Resolutions on the Death of Mrs.
Eugenia Dowdell-
On June 16, 1914, death entered our
midst and summoned a well-rounded
life—a soul purified through grace and
suffering—to "come up higher; we
have need of thee.” Although with
us only six years, she had identified her
self with the church and become an ac
tive worker in the Sunday-school, the
society, and indeed many good works—a
sincere and earnest Christian, zealous
in good works, "always abounding in
the work of the Lord." In this so
ciety she was a pillar of strength, al
ways present unless providentally hin
dered. May her mantle fall on us, and
incite us to greater activity and more
earnest devotion to this branch of the
Master’s kingdom, and may her in
fluence still be felt. As we watched
her life slowly ebbing away we could
almost see the Death Angel as he
loosed the cords and set the prisoned
spirit free, and could hear the glad
hallelujahs as she welcomed the loved
ones who were watching and waiting
for her. What a life! filled with useful-,
ness, happiness and success. Let us
emulate her example.
Resolved, That we bow in humble
submission to the will of our Heavenly
Father, who “doeth all things well.”
Resolved, That we cherish the memory
of her brief stay among us, and extend
to her family our deep and abiding sym
pathy. Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. Jennie Nimmons,
Mrs. Lutie N. Powers,
Mrs. Mary Whatley,
Committee.
CALOMEL MAY HURT
YOUR LIVER.
Every time you take this powerful
drug you are in danger. Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead. Calomel is made
from mercury, and while mercury has
many valuable uses, it is a dangerous
thing to swallow. If calomel stays in
the system very long it salivates. Even
when it works naturally, its after-ef
fects are often bad.
John R. Cates Drug Co. will sell you
Dodson’s Liver Tone, which is positive
ly guaranteed to take the place of calo
mel. Liver Tone stimulates the liver
just enough to start it working, and
does not make you sicker than ever—
as calomel often does. You feel good
after taking Dodson’s and it won’t force
you to stop eating or working after tak
ing it. It is as beneficial for children
as for adults.
Try a large bottle for fifty cents, un
der the guarantee that your money will
be given back cheerfully if you're not
satisfied.
It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton'Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
toriic. She says further: “Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
1 wish every suffering woman would give
The Woman’s Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are surs signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailir.g
women for more than fifty years.
