A Word of Advice and Warning
to the Corn Club Boys.
With the passing of the Atlanta Corn
Show the record of the Coweta Corn
Club for 1914 becomes history. The re
sults are not what we anticipated by
any means, but it is much better to aim
high and fall short of the mark than
not to aim at all.
We have made some progress this
year, despite the unfavorable seasons,
and it only takeB a little perseverance
to win now. A look at the Carroll coun
ty exhibit would convince you of this
fact. The hoys of that county have
been selecting their corn carefully for
seven years, and the result is a quality
of corn which merited the State prize.
These hoys have no better land on
which to raise corn than the boys of
Coweta ami many other counties, ami
yet they won the prize. Why? Because
they have kept at it. learning to do one
thing well. The reward came at Inst.
Another instance, showing that per
severance wins, is that of Gordon Leo
Hasty, of Whitfield county. He has
been a member of the Corn Club for
five consecutive years, and during that
time he has averaged over 100 bushels
per acre. His reward came this year
with a yield of MS bushels, which mer
ited the $250 scholarship offered by H.
G. Hastings in the Stute College of
Agriculture at Athens. Stick to the
work boys, stick!
Our county exhibit took a $5 prize.
One of our hoys, Stonewall Dyer, won
a $25 scholarship (short course) in the
State College of Agriculture. An
other boy, Sterling Carmichael, won a
$10 cash prize; and another, Ralph War
ren, won a $2.50 prizo. From this we
see that while our county was not at
the top of the 14.1 counties exhibiting,
yet it was a good ways from the bot
tom. Our prizes amounted to $42.50 this
time. Let us multiply this by at least
ten, and claim the result as our mini
mum for prize money in 1915. Let us
go to work with a determination und a
courage which knows no defeat. These
the required number. If any boy wants
to join this club he must send in his
J name soon, for it will be too late one of
j these days. I am not seeking a large
j enrollment this fall, but am seeking for
boys who will stick —boys who really
| want to do something—boys who can
not be driven out of the contest by hot
sunshine or heavy rains. Go to work
now, boys, measure your acres, sow
your oats, and break your corn acre.
Miss Coweta has fallen into the mire.
We must lift her out. She is fourteenth
from the top, and she should be first.
Help to put her where she belongs.

It Depends on Cotton.
AtlnntA Constitution.
Approximate figures of what the
State and national hanks of Georgia
have now owing to them stress, as nev
er before, The Constitution’s conten
tion that the farmer with his cotton
holds in the hollow of his hand not only
his own prosperity but the prosperity
of the enl ire State.
About this time last year the State
hanks had owing to them $98,000,000.
The national batiks in Georgia had ow
ing to them about $05,000,000. That
totals $163,000,000.
If Georgia’s cotton were sold at only
$40 a hale, which is a reasonable esti
mate, the result would be $120,000,000
—within striking distance of the amount
owed to the State and national banks.
The effect of a widespread holding
movement is a simple problem in arith
metic. The farmer cannot pay the mer
chant. The merchant cannot pay the
country banker, and the country bank
er must hold off tile city banker. In
dustry und energy and enterprise lan
guish nil along the line.
The first factor to feel the paralyzing
effect is the farmer himself. His hands
are tied absolutely as to his plans for
next year, his credit dried up at its
source, and his ability to make plana
for himself or his family nullified.
The trouble is, we have listened to
the "poor mouth” business so long that
some of us have come to believe it.
Once cotton gets in active movement
all that will disappear. The Constitu
tion ventures the assertion that if debts
depending on credit-raised cotton were
liquidated within the next two weeks,
Georgia would be in a financial condi
tion comparing favorably with what
might have been expected had the Eu
ropean wur never broken out.
With Christinas and its extra demands
approaching, all that is needed for uni
versal financial relaxation ia for cotton
prizes go somewhere. Why not more t0 m0Vl! freelyi the f nrtm , r selling suffi-

I might us well
now, hoys, that you will have to ob
serve the rules to the letter next year
if you expect to win any prizes your
selves. This way of only half following
the rules, us some boys have been do-
itors. And he is doing it —for cotton is
moving more from day to day.
When it starts in earnest business ac
tivity will be resumed.

What Ten Dollars Did.
Knti.nton Mf.asntr^r.
We noted an article in an exchange
last week which fitted in so well with
the debt-paying arguments that we and
others over the State have been employ
ing this fall that we have decided to
give an extract from it.
It seems that a certain citizen in a
Georgia town decided to take a ten-dol-
lar bill and pay u debt with it, and then
keep tab on it for one day and see
what would happen. At the end of the
first day it paid one hundred dollars.
Another thing about it. He found
that that ten dollars passed through
his hands three different times after
letting it go, paying thirty dollars
worth of debts due him and forty that
he owed, as he turned it loose four
times.
Still further, at the conclusion of the
day a merchant in the town had it for
the fourth time that day, he having re
ceived forty dollars on account with it
and having paid thirty dollars that he
owed.
Now this story comes from good
authority and ia not a fairy tale by any
means. Just think about it. One ten-
dollar bill in one day paid ten different
debts and still remained in the same
town. The same men handled it three
and four different times, and in all prob
ability the original starter of the pay
ing process will get it again still. In a
few weeks what would be the result?
Possibly the starter will have his ten
dollars. He will have paid a hundred dol
lars of debts with it that have been wor
rying him and iiis creditors. He has also
collected a hundred dollars that he had
begun to be doubtful about. Probably
he has fifteen or twenty neighbors who
have experienced the same result off
the same ten dollars. It has probably
paid four or five hundred dollars within
a few weeks and removed forty or fifty
burdensome obligations.
Some people may argue that this
money was traced to make an example
of, and that for this reason it was
made to pay much more than would or
dinarily be the case. Possibly this is
true, and we don’t doubt that it is, but
only suppose the average sum of mon
ey should pay a third as many debts,
arid suppose that a hundred men should
start ten dollars each on the rounds,
what would the result be at the end of
the first day ?
Let’s figure a little. That would
start a thousand dollars on a debt
paying round. Say that each bill only
changed hands from one party to an
other throe different times. That would
be three thousand dollars worth of
debts settled. It would mean more
—it would mean that perhaps three
hundred of the present "hard ac
counts” were made a thing of the
past. It would doubtless mean that
possibly a hundred of these people who
can’t pay up had been enabled "to come
across.”
Now, it would be reasonable to say
that at least half of this thousand dol
lars would in such a course return to the
original starter. In that case, it would
mean that after all only five hundred
dollars had changed hands in this one
thousand dollar debt-paying crusade,
and that the other five hundred was in
the same community and the other
original fiftyjstood a chance at theirs.
Even if they never see it again, the
debt was just and should have been
paid, and they have only done their
duty. If it does come back they have
been doubly lucky. It is the proper
way to look at the matter.
Still, some people will argue that
some fellow will get hold of the money
and put it down in his jeans and that
will oe the last of debt-paying, bo far
as that particular ten-spot is concerned.
We agree to this. We have heard it
argued several times, and no one will
deny that several of them willgoaway,
and there is no help for it. Still, there
is this much: If you owe such a per
son and pay him the debt is settled and
your conscience is clear, even if he holds
to it and dodges his creditors until the
gates of eternity close after him. That
is his lookout. Your part is to pay him.
Another matter. We are of the
opinion (and hope to remain thus) that
the majority of people would pay their
debts if others would pay them. In
other words, we believe the majority of
te^-dollar bills wuuld "go the rounds.”
There is one thing certain, if they
everyone Btopped with the very first
person paid to, there would be a hun
dred clear debts and a hundred clear
consciences in the breasts of those who
had done their duty, and a hundred
people who had their duty clearly
pointed out to them by a hundred peo
ple who intended to do the right
thing. There is certainly no answer
to this.
Sick Headache.
Sick headache is nearly always caused
by disorders of the stomach. Correct
them and the periodic attacks of sick
headache will disappear. Mrs. John
Bishop of Roseville, Ohio, writes:
"About a year ago I was troubled wi:h
indigestion and had sick headache that
lasted for two or three days at a time.
1 doctored and tried a number of reme
dies, but nothing helped me until during
one of those sick spells a friend advised
me to take Chamberlain's Tablets.
This medicine relieved me in a short
time.”

Negroes Moving Into Town.
Albany Herald.
As a result of the hard times on the
farm, due to the temporary dethrone
ment of King Cotton by conditions
growing out of the European war,
many negroes in the country around
Albany are leaving the farms and
moving into town.
These people have nothing and are
coming into the city without having
any employment or visible means of
support. They rent cabins or rooms
wherever they can find them and tie-
gin life in the city not only without as
much as a day's "rations” on hand,
but with no immediate employment or
prospect of earning a livelihood.
How are these people going to live ?
We already have more of this class
than we can alford to have, and, with
more coming in from the surrounding
country, conditions, already bad enough,
are bound to become worse with the
advance of winter. With the number
of consumers increasing, while there is
no prospect of increasing the ratio of
producers amongst this class in the
community, the situation threatens to
become more serious with our negro
population than it has been at any
time since the Civil War.
It is not our purpose to rail at the?e
poor negroes. True, their present pre
dicament is largely due to their own
improvidence and thriftlessness; but
they are at our own doors and their
condition Bhould appeal to us for the
exercise of the charity that "begins at
home.” In their present predicament
they are as needy as are the suffering
poor in foreign countries to whom we
are sending missionaries and clothing
and provisions.
With so many destitute and unem
ployed people flocking into the city
from the surrounding country, crowd
ing the negro settlements and living in
disregard of hygenic and sanitary laws
and regulations, a plague of disease is
lia'ole to arise that is not pleasant to
contemplate, and we should begin now
to take the necessary precaution against
any such calamity.
P. A. Morgan, Gore, C.a., had occa
sion recently to U9e a liver medicine and
says of Foley’s Cathartic Tablets:
"They thoroughly cleansed my system
and I felt like a new man—light and
free. They are the best medicine I have
ever taken for constipation. They keep
the stomach sweet, liver active, bow
els regular.” For sale by all dealers.
The Habit of Cheerfulness.
After all, so much in this world de
pends upon the way you look at things.
It may seem a little thing, this looking
at life from a cheerful or dismal point
of view, but it is in reality a very great
thing. Put on a pair of blue spectacles
and everything looks blue; green, and
everything is green. And so it is with
the eyes of our mind. If we take a
cheerful view of things, life will be far
brighter. We shall not see the faults
in people, but their virtues. If we
look for pleasant things we shall find
them, or at least we think we shall
find them, which is pretty much the
same. We are very apt to find what
we look for; therefore, let us lork for
light and happiness.
It is all habit. And it is just as easy
to cultivate a cheerful habit as a
gloomy one. And when once a habit
takes a strong hold of us we all know
how hard it is to shake it off. Let us,
then, cultivate a habit of cheerfulness
in all circumstances of life; and a habit
of not finding fault. It is not the
fault-finders who are going to do the
great deeds and make the world richer
because they have lived. No; these
fault-finders have no time for anything
but fault-finding. It is the cheerful
people who help the world along, who
make its great inventions and laws,
who build its monuments, write its
poems and novels, and who go down to
the grave lamented and honored.
Isn’t it funny that the things we like
to do most are the things we are told
not to do?
TAX COLLECTOR
74 YEARS OLD
Expected to Resign on Account
of Feebleness — Gained
Strength and Twenty-four
Pounds by Taking Vinol.
Corinth, Miss.: — "I am a city tax
collector and seventy-four years of age.
I was in a weak, run-down condition so
that I became exhausted by every little
exertion. My druggist told me about
Vinol, and I decided to take it. In a
week I noticed considerable improve
ment; I continued its use and now I
have gained twenty pounds in weight,
and feel much stronger. I consider
Vinol a fine tonic to create strength for
old people.”—J. A. Price, Corinth,

As one grows old their organs act
more slowly and less effectually than in
youth, circulation is poor, tne blood

and body builder for old folks because
it creates a good healthy appetite,
strengthens digestion, enriches the
