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. H. G. Wiley, Demonstration Agent. 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.

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.

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.” The man who waits to be given a chance has a life job as a waiter.

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, Miss. As one grows old their organs act more slowly and less effectually than in youth, circulation is poor, tne blood gets thin, the appetite poor and diges tion weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic, is the ideal strengthener and body builder for old folks because it creates a good healthy appetite, strengthens digestion, enriches the blood, improves circulation and in this natural manner builds up, strengthens and invigorates feeble, run-down, nerv ous and aged people, and if it does not do Cole’s 3-row Oat and Wheat Dril 11 we say, we will pay back your money.
