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.

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. Chamberlain's Colic.

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.

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 thoroughly cleansing; do not gripe or cause nausea. Stout people say this is the one cathartic that takes away that over-full and ;logged-up feeling. J. F.
