ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
IH AnVANCK.
OUR ATLANTA LETTER.
Atlanta, Feb. 22. — The Georgia Anti-
Saloon League is preparing for a vig
orous campaign this year to restrict
locker clubs to a legitimate Bpherc and
prevent their violating the law by sell
ing intoxicants, and also to put the
"near beer" saloons out of business.
Rev. G. W. Eichelbcrgcr, superintend
ent of the league, sayB steps will be
taken to prevent express companies
transporting liquor into Georgia. The
attitude of Senator Thomas W. Hard
wick on the prohibition question has
brought forth a great deal of criticism
front prohibitionists, following his vote
on the question of prohibiting the sale
of liquor in the District of Columbia
He voted with the opposition on a mo
tion to suspend the rules to introduce an
amendment providing for prohibition in
Washington, despite the fact that he is
not openly an anti-prohibitionist. Mr.
Hardwick's defiant split with his fellow-
Democrata on the Government ship
purchase bill also cost him the confi
dence of many friends, especially as he
had made his campaign on the claim
that he was closely in sympathy with
the Administration und a friend of Wil-
Bon and hiB policies.
"Grow truck, if you want to make
real money on the farm,” is the advice
of the State Department of Agriculture.
The department haB recently been
making some careful investigations
along these lines, and linds not only
that Georgia truck sells readily and at
good prices outside of tho State, but
that Georgians themselves are spend
ing something like $11,000,000 a year
for vegetables and fruits grown in
other States. Georgia is paying $2,-
000,000 a year for 2,000,000 bushels of
Irish potatoes. An acre of ground will
make anywhere from 100 to 200 bushels,
at an average price of $1 a bushel. The
same, or even better results, can be
obtained in growing sweet potatoes, of
which Georgia is buying 700,000 bush
els every year outside of the State.
Georgia is likewise importing approxi
mately 400,000 bushels of onions. Geor
gia growers can get $1 a bushel for
these the year round, and make as high
as 200 bushels on un acre. Eurly corn,
always in demand, will bring at least
$100 an acre, and leave the ground for
the production of turnipB or Borne other
crop the same year. Georgia is send
ing ubroad for a million dollurs’ worth
of tomatoes yearly, although this pro
duct would bring $100 to $200 an acre,
and is always in demand. There is
equally good profit in growing spinach,
beets, carrots, cauliflower, lettuce, and
various other vegetables always in de-
aiand. and the only place where these
things will not grow in Georgia is
where the seed are not put into the
ground. Why spend the entire year
in planting, cultivating und gathering
cotton at $2f) to $50 per acre, when
the same time, energy and outlay of
labor and money will return anywhere
from four to eght times this in
come, if put into vegetable crops?
Georgia can at least begin by growing
enough of these crops to meet the home
demand. This, at the start, would
keep $11,000,000 a year in the pockets
of the home people.
s worth more to a community than any
five men in it," said a speaker at a
business men's luncheon here. He was
speaking of the country weekly and its
work. "Any business man gives some
times to boost hiB town- anyone will do
a little now and then for a public cause:
but the local paper is doing it always,
week in and week out, and the town
takes it as a matter of course. The
merchant who advertises thinks he iB
doing the paper a great favor, when,
as a matter of fact, he in merely mak
ing his best investment.”
The transparent skirl, which has so
shocked conservatives for the past two
years, has gone, say fashion forecas
ters. The X-ray garments will be no
more, for the modern full Bkirts will
require a fairly heavy lining to hold
their shape, and the streets will no more
be filled with a free Bhow. The Fashion
Art League of Chicago says the new
skirts will be almost as full as in the
old hoopBkirt days—a startling change
from the hobble.
Although there is a good deal of hog
cholera in Georgia, Commissioner of
Agriculture J. I). 'Price says excellent
results are being secured with the
serum treatment. The department has
not been able to reach all localities as
yet, but is working as rapidly as possi
ble. It is stated that there iB no foot
and mouth disease in the State, and
horses and cattle generally are in ex
cellent condition.
Georgia retail merchants are greatly
interested in the endeavor now being
made to secure the passage of a bill by
Congress making it necessary for mail
order houses doing an interstate husi
ness to be regulated or taxed by the
Federal Government, for the benefit of
each State. One local merchant says
there are over one thousand muil order
bouses in the United States, and they
do 30 per cent, of the entire business of
the country without paying taxes, ex
cept in the States where their ware
houses are located. "This places the
local merchant at a disadvantage," he
aaid, "for he not only pays for the
privilege of doing business in a commu
nity, but pays taxes upon hia propel ty
and investment, and at the same time
contributes to enterprises which build
up his community."
“Seeing Things P
At Inn In Conntltution.
It would be interesting to follow John
I). Rockefeller, serenely chasing a golf
ball around the linkB of his Tarrytown
estate, and ask his real opinion of the
interview given out by Frank P. Walsh
on the foundation that beats Rockefel
ler’s name. Walsh is chairman of the
Federal Cemmission that is probing the
foundations, and it still Beems we can
not get enough probes to suit our jaded
appetites. Mr. Walsh, after several
days’ grilling of the attaches of the
commission, comes to the conclusion
that such huge foundations may become
a gentle menace to free American
government.
There is nothing new in all of this
stuff. It has been trotted forth time
after time, at Congressional and other
investigations. It formed the chief
basis of the hearings when the Rocke
feller foundation was seeking Federal
incorporation, and it has time and
ngain been applied to the Sage and to
other foundations. This is not to for
get our good friend, Dr. Washington
Gladden, und hia scornful refusal of
"tainted money."
The Constitution holds no brief for
any of these foundations or their
founders, but it declines to “view with
alarm" the possibility of their absorb
ing the American government or un
duly influencing its people. There are
too many watchful eyes in this country,
too many keen brains to permit any
thing of the sort. If men of great
weulth with to redistribute that wealth
scientifically for the benefit of the peo
ple from whom it was drawn, let us put
only such obstacles in their pathway as
will insure equity and fairness. It iB
already of record that these founds
lions have done much good in their
respective fields, and are scheduled to
do more. They will bear watching, of
course, but bo will Congress, with its
pork barrel, its pension scandal, its
demagogy and its other abuses.
It should be remembered, incidental
ly, that some of Mr. WalBh’s critics
have suspected him of cherishing poli
tical ; ambitions. If that is true it
would explain much. In spite of our
partial recuperation from the era of
baiting of wealth, it is still popular in
some quarters to "swat" the helpless
multi millionaire.
Judge Adamson's New Suit
Wanhinirton Cor. 8t. Louis Globe-Democrat.
William Charles Adamson, Represen
tative from Georgia for the past six
teen years and chairman of the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, has a new suit of clothes.
This announcement would not be made
but for the reason that Judge Adamson
seemed a bit hurt the other day when
he strode into the midst of his colleagues
attired in the new purchase and nobody
noticed it. Adamson has been careleBS
of his clothing, save that he has shown
a particular fondness for bright red
neckties and red vests, and his suit
usually fits him about as gracefully as
a shirt on a beanpole. He does not care
bo long as he is comfortable, but so
much comment had been made on his
apparel, both verbal and published, that
the Judge, as he is familiarly known,
decided to tone up a bit. Accordingly
he bought this new suit and wandered
in where the crowd was thickest, in the
House lobby, to show it off. He strutted
up and down the lobby several times,
and finally blurted out:
"Well, 1 don’t see any use in buying
a new suit if nobody is going to say
anything about it.”
Whereupon conversation ceased and
Adamson was “given the once over” by
about thirty pairs of eyes, and instead
of compliments the remarks were:
“Where did you get it?” "How did it
happen?” et cetera.
The suit is a dark black and white
check, somber, and verging on a gray,
and matches the Judge’s hair. To the
query of his colleague, Tribble of Geor
gia, AdamBon explained how he came
to buy his new togs.
“You Bee, they wanted to charge me
$14 for this same suit before ChriBtmas,
but I thought that was too much, so I
waited until they had a marked-down
sale and got it for $10.”
In summer Adamson is one of the
tirBt to don an all white costume, in
cluding white canvas shoes and white
socks, and the suit usually has the ap
pearance of having been used alBO as
pajamas at night. It is, therefore, an
event when Adamson puts on a new suit,
and he really appeared hurt when his
colleagues failed to take notice. Hence,
as the national legislators are fond of
saying, "in order that the country may
know," this information is imparted.
"The Best Laxative I Know Of.”
"I have sold Chamberlain’s Tablets
for several years. People who have
used them will take nothing else. I
can recommend them to my customers
as the best laxative and cure for con
stipation that I know of," writes Frank
Strouse, Fruitland, Iowa. For sale by
all dealers.
Ten Good Commandments.
1. Thou Bhalt have no other food than
at meal time.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any
pies or put into pastry the likeness of
anything that is in the heavens above
or in the waters under the earth. Thou
shalt not fall to eating it or trying to
digest it. For the dyspepsia will be
visited upon the children to the third
and fourth generation of them that eat
pie, and long life and vigor upon those
that live prudently and keep the laws
of health.
3. Remember thy bread to bake it
well, for he will not be kept well that
eateth his bread as dough.
4. Thou shalt not indulge sorrow or
borrow anxiety in vain.
5. Six days thou shalt wash and keep
thyself clean, and the seventh day thou
shalt take a great bath, thou, and thou
son, and thy maid servant, and the
stranger that is within thy gates. For
in Bix days man sweats and gathers
filth and bacteria enough for disease;
wherefore the Lord has blessed the
bath tub and hallowed it.
6. Remember thy sitting-room and
bed chamber to keep them ventilated,
that thy days may be long in the land
which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
7. Thou shalt not eat hot biscuits.
8. Thou shalt not eat thy meat fried.
9. Thou shalt not swallow thy food
unchewed or highly spiced, or just be
fore hard work or just after it.
10. Thou shalt not keep late hours in
thy neighbor’s house, nor with thy
neighbor’s wife, nor his man Bervant,
nor his maid servant, nor his cards,
nor his bottle, nor anything that is thy
neighbor's.

If the four hundred New York min
isters who have invited Billy Sunday to
go to New York and conduct one of his
religious campaigns would get down to
real religious work themselves and
preach the same simple gospel that the
evangelist preaches they might have a
revival without calling in help from the
outside. Somehow, the spectacle of
four hundred preachers appealing to an
evangelist to come and save their city
from the devil does't speak very well
for the four hundred preachers.—Alba

CALOMEL fS MERCURY! IT SICKENS!

constipated. Don't lose a day’s work!
Several towns in the South are trying
the experiment of a "Buy at Home
Dollar" with startling results, to show
just what a busy dollar will do if it
stays in its home town and keeps
moving. The originator of the idea
took a dollar bill and pasted it in a
blank book, with the request written in
the book that each person who received
it note just what he spent the dollar
for. and with whom. In 24 hours that
one dollar had been spent fifty-two
times and bought fifty-two different ar
ticles. It had made a profit for fifty-
two persons, and was ready to start
out and do it all over again.

Cough Remedy has recognized advanta
ges over most medicines in use for
oughs und colds. It does not suppress
a cough, but loosens and relieves it. It

narcotic, and may be given to a child as
confidently as to an adult. For sale by

For years we have been stating in the newspapers of the
country that a great many women have escaped serious op
erations by taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, and it is true.
We are permitted to publish in this announcement
extracts from the letters of five women. All have been
recently received unsolicited. Could any evidence be
more convincing?
I Hodgdon, Me.—“ I had pains in both sides and such a soreness
• I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached and I
was so nervous I could not sleep, and I thought I never would be
any better until I submitted to an operation, but I commenced taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and soon felt like a new
woman.”—Mrs. Hayward Sowers, Hodgdon, Me.
2 Shelbyville, Ky.—“I suffered from a severe female trouble.
• My right side hurt me badly—it was finally decided that I
must be operated upon. When my husband learned this he got a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for me, and after
taking it a few days I got better and continued to improve until I
am now welL”—Mrs. Mollie Smith, R.F.D., Shelbyville, Ky.
3 Hanover, Pa.—■“ The doctor advised a severe operation, but my
• husband got me Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and I
experienced great relief in a short time. Now I feel like a new person
and can do a hard day’s work and not mind it.”—Mrs. Ada Wilt,
303 Walnut St., Ilanover, Pa.
4 Decatur, III.—“ I was sick in bed and three of the best physi-
• cians said I would have to be taken to the hospital for an oper
ation as I had something growing in my left side. I refused to sub
mit to the operation and took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound—and it worked a miracle in my case, and I tell other women
what it has done for me.”—Mrs. Laura A. Griswold, 2437 East
William Street, Decatur, I1L
5 Cleveland, Ohio. —“ I was very irregular and for several years
• my side pained me so that I expected to have to undergo an op
eration. Doctors said they knew of nothing that
would help me. I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound and I became regular and free
from pain. I am thankful for such a good medi
cine and will always give it the highest praise.”—
