FARMERS’ CLUBS.
It should be the aim anti purpose of
no all to bring about a butter system of
farming in the Suuth, and especially in
nor own county. Wo are entering a
new period of thought and effort. This
year, we believe, is the real beginning
of the New South—a South that will
ratse what she eats and make her cot
ton millions a surplus; a South that
will not only produce her own food
stuffs, but one that will ship her pro
ducts to other States und other coun
tries ns well. In order to do this suc-
rewffuHy we must give mure intelligent
thought to our farms. We must be
more business-like in our methods of
doing things. We must have an aim und
purpose in mind in order to accomplish
anything. Of course, it is our aim to
make money, tiut it shou.d not be sim
ply to have more moru-y, but in order
that we muy have a more beautiful,
whol"Bome and satisfying country life
—better schools, better roads, prettier
homes nnd more opportunities for in
tellectual and general development. I
know no better means of developing
community and rural life than by or
ganizing farmers’ dubs in different sec
tions of the county. These clubs will
improve and broaden social life as well
as stimulate an interest along modern
line* of farming. I.et'f see if we can't
organize several good clubs in Coweta
Uits year. I am ready and willing to do
all I can along this line. Once a com
munity is ready, I will be on the spot
to assist them.
JMow is outlined a plan of organiza
tion that can bo followed in each com
munity with little effort. Let us hear
from you. Yciirs fur service,
J. II. Illackwell,
Demonstration Agent.
Tftiirtj years ago there was organized
in ihe eastern purt of Wilkes county.
Ga.. what is known as the East Wilkes
Agricultural Club. At this time there
was no experiment station in Georgia,
and there was little accurate informa
tion about such fuim problems us best
methods of soil preparation, cultivation,
fertilisation, seed selection, and many
others which daily confront the farmers
\n their work. It was for the purpose
of co-operating to make Held tests and
to stDdy some of these problems that
tins club was organized. The elub was
organized on the 11th of March, 1SK4,
with It charter members, and the mem
bership was limited to 24. Meetings
are held regularly each month from Oc
tober to June, and semi-monthly from
June to October. The meetings are
held at the homes of the members of
the rlub, in the regular order of their
enrollment. It is never necessary to
notify a member that the club will
meet at his home, as he has a list of
the enrollment and knows exactly when
his time will come to entertain the
chib. The farmer who entertains the
club has a dinner prepared, serving
only home-raised products at this din
ner. This club has added much to the
aicinl life of the community where it is
located, and the well-kept farms and
the thrifty and prosperous condition of
the farmers show that the members of
the East Wilkes Agricultural Club have
been abundantly rewarded for their co
operative study of agriculture.
Following is a copy of the constitu
tion and by-laws of this club —
CONSTITUTION.
1. The name of this club shall he the
East Wilkes Agricultural Club. Wilkes
county. Ga.
Whenever Vou Need a General Tonic
Take Grove’s
The OUl Standard Grove's Tasteless
chill Tome is equally valuable as a
General Tonic because it cotitai'-.s the
well known tonic propertiesof QUININE
and IRON. It acts on the Liver, Drives
out Malaria, Enriches the Blood and
Builds up the Whole System. 50 cents.
2. The object of this club is the mu
tual and co-operative advancement of
agriculture in our section by systematic
testing of various modes of preparation
of land for various crops; testing vari
ous forms of fertilizers, c-op rotation,
and many of the new seeds and forage
crops being introduced into Georgia; to
co-operate in the general uplift of coun
try I fe as it pertains to homes, schools,
roads, etc ; to encourage and stand for
self-sustaining farms by encouraging
the production of everything on the
farm for its consumption, as far as pos
sible, and to make cotton our leading
money crop,
BY-LAWS.
1. No one not actively engaged in
farming is eligible to membership in
this club, and only farmers whose
farms are on the east side of Washing
ton, Ga., can join.
2 Meetings shall he held monthly
from October to June, and semi-month
ly from June until Octob“r. Tne meet
ings shall be with the membership in
the regular order of enrollment, and a
good dinner of home-raised products
shall be served at each meeting, sugar,
ice and coffee b ing the only purchased
products encouraged.
3. The membership shall be limited
to 24. Members may he added only by
ballot, and must receive 80 per cent, of
the votes present.
4 There shall be no regular dues, no
membership fees, and no rules govern
ing attendance.
5. The meetings, while in session,
shall ho dignified, and shall he presided
over by the president, and s mil be
short.
6 No whiskey, cards, vulgarity or
anything that wou'd reflect on the dig
nity of the elub or the host will be
sanctioned; and this la^t article is only
ft reminder.
Adopted March 18, 1884.
Six other clubs have organized in
Wilkes county after the plan of the
East Wilkes Agricultural Club. These
seven clubs in Wilkes county are now
showing the importance of crop rota
tion and soil improvement crops, and
they co-operate in every good move
ment for the upbuilding of the county,
such as county fairs, farmers’ insti
tutes, good roads, eradication of the
cattle tick, breeding of improved live
stock, and all lines of work that are in
tended to make more prosperous far
mers and a happy and more contented
people.
The East Wilkes Agricultural Club
has never bought their supplies or sold
their products as a elub, but members
of the club frequently co-operate in buy
ing seed, fertilizers, livestock and farm
machinery. It has never been thought
best by this club to go into the buying
and selling business as a club, hut prices
on seeds, fertilizers, etc., are discussed
in the club, and then groups of mem
bers who live near each other and who
will not complain in equalizing any
shortage of weights in a car of fertili
zer, or give any trouble about prompt
payment, get together and order such
material as they need
The East Wilkes Agricultural Club
has on its list allot the time several ap
plicants for membership, ami the club
to day is just as popular as it was when
lir.-t organized.
In most communities it would not be
feasible to have a farmers' club with a
membership of 24. Perhaps a member
ship of 12 would usually be better, but
some kind of a farmers’ organization is
needed in every community—first, from
a social standpoint; second, for studying
their farm problems; and, third, for
carrying out co-operative plans.
The East Wilkes Club has a standing
committee who regularly visits the
farms of the members. Prizes are of
fered for the best-kept farm. The ex
perimental test plats on each farm are
inspected, notes are made on the re
sults of these tests, ami each farmer in
the club takes a keen interest not only
in the progress of his own farm, hut in
the progress of the farms of all the
members of the club. From time to
time the farmers enter into friendly ri
valry in the production of the best
yields of corn, oats or cotton, and each
member contributes a small annunt to
be awarded as a prize to the winner.
If such a elub as the above was or
ganized with 12 members and the meet
ings were held each month, then each
member eould have the pleasure and
responsibility of entertaining the club
once each year. Any farmer can afford
to entertain twelve of his neighbors
onee in twelve months. The benefits,
aside from the social pleasures, that
will accrue to him through his co-opera
tion with his neighbors in buying fer
tilizers, buying seed, buying farm ma
chinery, and perhaps in buying some
improved livestock; and in co-operation
in selling eggs, poultry and other farm
products, will probably amount to sev
eral hundred dollars a year for each
member of the club.

Agriculturist and Field Agent.
What May Happen-
Macon T**l«trrmp!u
Tne blackest indictment of G-rminy
is her wanton disregard of the B- Igium
treaty, when she reduced that to a
scrap of paper. H- r national honor
was involved, und she flung it to the
winds. The death and starvation that
have followed in the wake of the Ger
man army tnrough Belgium have made
the angels weep Her attains on non-
combatant women and children with
her warships and aerial fleet followed
quickly upon the heels of her ravish
ment of Belgium. Then her iniquitous
submarine policy was launched, and fol
lowing that was the poisoning of the
air to destroy soldiers. It has long
been regarded as savage and brutal to
poison water. Water and air are ele
ments absolutely essential to life. It.
remained for Germany to evade the wa
ter-poisoning principle and p lison the
air instead. The particular point now
in dispute is Germany’s violation of the
law of all nations that a ship carrying
passtngers, even though it carries on-
traband, shall be visited and searched,
and the passengers transferred to a
place of safety before the vessel is de
stroyed. Germany says it is physically
impossible for her submarines to com
ply with this law, and, because the sub
marine is not equipped to care for pas
sengers and cannot afford to make a
search of the doomed vessel or give it
warning, Germany attempts to justify
a policy of assassination on the h gh
seas. It is nothing more nor less than
murder that she has committed, and
the murdered were peaceful citizens of
the United States, traveling on a ves
sel supposed to be protected by a law
to which all nations had agreed, Ger
many included.
If Germany replies that she is bound
by international law as to the safety of
passengers, it will simplify matters,
because it only remains for the United
States to assess the damages and have
Germany pay them, accompanied by a
promise or guaranty that she will not
again offend. If Germany replies that
she proposes to disregard the interna
tional law which she helped to make, as
she did her Belgian treaty, it will be in
order for the United States to furnish
Ambassador Bernstorff and his official
family with their passports, in the spirit
that they are barbarians and unworthy
to associate with civilized people. The
German merchant ships interned in
American ports wiil probably be confis
cated and sold by the United States to
provide indemnity money for the fami
lies of the murdered “Lusitania” vic
tims. This will probably force Germa
ny to a declaration of war on the Uni-
t d States. After which, only time can
tell. Both countries will make an ef
fort to put the burden of declaring war
on the other, but at this writing the
United States seems to have the better
of the sparring.

Women and Whiskey.
Memphia Newa-Scimitar.
This is not going to be an essay on the
old topic of wine, women and song, but
a few comments of a practical charac
ter on the action of the ladies in a
a Colorado city, where an election has
recently been held which attracted
widespread attention away from the
scene of action, and which aroused
great interest at home. The women of
Colorada have been voting fora number
of years, and due to their influence and
votes a great many meritorious meas
ures have been made into laws. The
astounding fact remains that in the
particular election referred to the para
mount issue was whether or not the
eighty saloons then permitted by law
should be reduced to forty, and every
one expected that the women would go
to the polls and vote unanimously in
favor of this reduction, but they did ex
actly the opposite. Various explana
tions have been offered as to why they
did so, but none that are entirely satis
factory. Some claim that it was be
cause of woman's natural perversity and
her proneness to do exactly opposite to
what she is expected to do. Others
claim that the women acted as they did
because they wanted to retain the reve
nues derived from the saloon business
for the support of the public schools.
Others claim—and it must be admitted
that it is the most probable explanation
yet offered —that the advocates of re
duction in the number of saloons were
a lot of discarded and discredited place-
hunters, who were merely seeking to
get back into power and office.
It will not be entirely safe to accept
any of these reasons, however, because
the real reason may be a woman’s rea
son-just because.
Only a Few Can Go.
Those who are so fortunate that ex
pense does not have to be considered
a-e now going to health resorts to get
rid of the impurities in the system that
cause rheumatism, backache, swollen,
aching joints and stiff, painful muscles.

pain and misery, try Foley's Kidney

ASK YOUR DEALER.
This From Senator Smith ?
Waahlnifton (D- C.) Herald.
As an apologist for Germany, Sen
ator Smith, of Georgia, proves himself
a worthy rival of Dr. Dernburg and
Herman Ridder. With the posiiiver.ess
and confidence of one holding a brief
for Von Jagow he asserts that Gcr
many did not mean to torpedo Ameri
can vessels; that Germany is ready to
disclaim any purpose of torpedoing
passenger ships not armed and not
loaded down with contraband,” and
that the “safety of our citizens upon
passenger vessels in future, even
though they belong to the enemies of
Ger nany, can be safeguarded by pre
cautions as to their character and
cargoes. ”
If the Senator is in possession of any
information justifying these conclu
sions he has the advantage of every
one else. To the rest of the world it
appears as if Germany, had lost not a
single opportunity to sink any vessel of
whatever nationality bound to or from
a port of her enemies. This is clearly
proved in the case of the "Gulflight,”
by an official admission from Germany
that the officers of the submarine
which sent her to the bottom noticed,
after the torpedo was dispatched, that
the flag the “Gulflight” was flying was
an American flag. In other words, they
made not the slightest effort to as
certain the nationality of the vessel be
fore sinking her without warning to the
crew. From all the information avail
able there was scarcely less culpabil
ity in the case of the more recent at
tack on the “Nebraskan.” With such
outrages being committed at frequent
inteivals, the Senator's assertion that
Germany is “ready to disavow any pur
pose of torpedoing passenger ships” ;s
merely amusing. Germany has neith. r
“disavowed” nor has she stopped the
practice that has already been made
the subject of two vigorous protests by
this Government. Nor has she given
any indication of an intention to “dis
avow.”
In the face of all this Senator Smith
urges the continuance of negotiations,
not only for the purpose of safe
guarding American lives at sea, but
with a view of ending the war. He
would have this Government continue
to write notes, while Germany con
tinues to sink ships. Why doesn’t he
go a step further and recommend that
President Wilson withdraw his two
protests and notify the Berlin govern
ment that he didn’t mean them serious
ly? And what would be the Senator's
attitude if British instead of German
submarines were guilty of such a
crime? The British navy has yet to
cause the life of a non-comsatant on the
seas.

Foley’s Cathartic Tablets are not as
insistently demanded by women as by
men, because this particular cathartic
is not so well known among women.
Women suffer as much as men do from
indigestion and constipation, and they
also require this scientific remedy to
keep the stomach sweet, the liver ac
tive and the bowels regular. Foley’s
Cathartic Tablets are wholesome and
