Slaton Urges a Mass Meet ing in Every County. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. ID.—Gov. Slaton issued a proclamation to-day calling on each county in the State to hold a mass meeting on Saturday, Oct. 21, in which farmers, bankers, merchants ami busi ness men generally should take part, to he held at each county-seat. He urges the farmers to enter into written pledges not to plant more than half of this year’s cotton acreage for next year, arguing that this kind of in dividual and voluntary action will go further in solving present problems than all the legislation that could be passed. He also urges bankers and merchants to pledge themselves to withhold finan cial support from all farmers who will not enter into and abide by this agree ment to cut cotton acreage one-half in 1915. The proclamation is as follows; “Whereas, The world-wide war has to a great extent destroyed the market for cotton, thereby indicting upon our section a Mow such as it has not expe rienced since the Civil War; and "Whereas, It is universally agreed that it would he suicidal for our far mers to continue the planting of cotton to the exclusion of food crops; and "Whereas, Crop reduction may be brought about only by free co-operation among the representative classes of our community, rather than by legislative action which would imperil our Consti tutional liberties; and "Whereas, The Southeastern Food Crop Conference has suggested that mass meetings Le held in every cotton- producing coilnty on Saturday, Oct. 24, to organize the farmers and business men in a joint effort to decrease cotton production, increase food crops, pre pare for financing and marketing the same, and for the general welfare. "Now, therefore, 1, John M. Slaton, Governor of the State of Georgia, being in strong sympathy with this move ment, and wishing to give it. all the of ficial encouragement within my power, do hereby designate Saturday, Oct. 24, for such mass meetings to be held in the various county sites of this State. I suggest that the Ordinaries of the re spective counties act as chairman of the committee on preparation, naming such associates as they see lit. 1 urge that all classes lend a hand in making these meetings a success- farmers, bankers, merchants and lawyers. “Cotton-growers should he pledged to reduce the acreage planted to at least one-half the present planting and en large the food crops. " Merchants and hankers should co operate by pledging themselve to lend credit and financial assistance only to such farmers as will agree to sard acre age reduction. Lawyers can assist in the preparation of sueii contracts be tween the parties concerned as will he legally binding. “The people of the great State of Georgia have never yet been found wanting in the hour of peril. It re quires courage, patience, self-reliance and mutual helpfulness to meet the present crisis. I know that our citizens possess these qualities to an eminent deg ree.

Williams, of Monroe county, has adopted in dealing with his tenants. Mr. Williams’land is divided into tracts which rent for $100 per annum for each | tract. This is equivalent to about two hales of cotton under the old tenant system. But Mr. Williams is changing his plan for the future. Hereafter he will require his rents paid in food crops, NOTHING BEnER “I Never Spent Any Money That Did Me So Much Good as That I Spent for Vino!.” as follows: 50 bushels of corn $50 15 bushels of wheat 16 :) bushels of peas. 5 100 pounds of meat.. .. 15 15 bushels of potatoes 15 Total rent Slut) Mr. Williams will not take cotten for rent and will discourage his tenants in planting it except in a very limited way. lie proposes to co-operate with his ten ants in raising their food crops with a view to raising the best qualities from selected seed, so that there wdl be no question about finding an open market for all of the stuff they can possibly raise. And this wise landlord expects a num ber of good results from the change in his plans. He expects to get better profits from their year’s work. He ex pects his land to be materially improved by the chemical change which it will un dergo in feeding other plants and in draw ing nutriment from these food crops. Food crops, be it remembered, give nourishment to the famished soil just as they do to the hungry human being. They supply much of the substance which has been,consumed in producing cotton. It is to he hoped that the plan which Mr. Williams has adopted will be fol lowed generally by landlords In Georgia. It is the wise thing for them to do. It is a system which conform) to nature’s laws, and he who conforms to those laws is building his house upon a rock. The violator of those laws builds upon the sand—as every storm in the indus trial and commercial world has so plain ly shown. W. T. Hutchens, Nicholson, Ga., had a severe attack of rheumatism. His feet, ankles and joints were swollen, and moving about was very painful. He was certainly in a bad way when he started to take Foley’s Kidney Pills. He says, “Just a few doses made me feel better, and now my pains and rheumatism are all gone and I sleep all night long.” For sale by all dealers. Pellagra Conquered ? PittBburg Dispatch. Pellagra, the dread and mysterious disease, supposed by some to have been imported from Southern Europe, by others to be due to eating spoiled corn, or to chemicals in the water, and which has ravaged the South for several years, is now reported by the public health service to be easily curable. It is, it is said, caused by diet and can be cured by diet. The disease has puzzled medical science for centuries. It has been _ BrJIi'fontaine.Ohio.—“I wish every tired, weak, nervous woman could have Vinol for I never spent any money in my life that did mo so much good as that I spent for Vinol. My nerves wero in a very bad condition, making me very weak, tired, and worn wt and often drowsy headaches. I had tried cod liver oil, doctor’s medicines, and other preparations without benefit. “One day a friend asked me to try 1 Vinol. I did and soon my appetite in creased, I slept better and now J am ! strong, vigorous and well and can do my housework with pleasure.’’-Mrs. J. F. Lamborn, Ballefontaine, Ohio. Nervous, weak, tired, worn-out wo men should take Mrs. Lamborn’s advice and try Vinol for there are literally thousands of men and women who were formerly run-down, weak and nervous, who owe their good health to Vinol. It is the medicinal, tissue building ele ments of the cod’s livers, aided by the blood making, strengthening influence of tonic iron, contained in Vinol, which makes it so efficient in all such cases. JOHN R. CATES DRUG CO., Newnan A Picture of Home Life. Comanche (Tex.) Chief. I saw a young man, handsome and resolute, and a young woman, queenly and charming, leave the marriage altar in a shower of good wishes, and repair to the sacred shade of their little nest behind the trellised honeysuckle. I saw them with leaping hearts beautify it and fill it through and through with love and love’s ecstatic tokens. I heard their songs and merry-making and futu-e planning, and I thought they were happy in the instinct of love and nest-making. A little later I heard the clarion chant of their first born, herald of the keenest joys and bitterest griefs that ever stimulated or de pressed the human heart. I saw the light of a new experience in the pa rental eyes, the glow of divinity, the ecstacy of heaven. I saw the happy home nest peopled with cherub faces, and alive with chubby palms, and the white dove of joy and peace hovered reverentially over the hallowed scene. 1 saw the crimson turn to gray on the cheeks of the mother and the face of the father tattooed by the chisel of care. I saw the children grow into ripe maturity under the warm seasons of parental love, and strenuous man hood and charming womanhood going in and out with golden sheaves of promise. And then I saw the instinct of mating and nesting rise like a tide in the pulsing channels, and the kisses of adieu, as one by one they left the home nest to find a home tree of their own specially prevalent in the countries bordering on the Mediterranean. The parasitic theory was held for a long time, but without definite results. It is now announced by the public health service that pellagra has been proved to be neither infectious nor contagious, hut dietary in origin. A generous diet and rest will effect a speedy cure. It has been noticed that the victims were usually in districts where the standard of living was low. This gave rise to the theory of its origin in spoiled corn. Within a year investigators have reported that it was due to the composition of drinking water in cer tain places, but this was offset by equally positive assertions that it was beyond doubt parasitic. The standing of the public health service and the positive character of its announcement gives greater hope that the origin and cure of the disease have been discover ed. Abuse some one and you always fiad an appreciative audience. and a nest of their own in its sacred shade. 1 saw the old couple once again alone as they began, but broken in spirit and sorrowful in their desolotion.
