CommiipleBtel,
The District A. & M. School,
Having BttPnrJi'd thf* full session of
Ihe teachers' institute held at the
Fourth District A. A- M. School at Car
rollton, we feel it our dut> as a citizen
and teacher to say to our fellow citizens
who have sons and daughtera to edu
cate what we think of this institution.
First of all, agriculture is the base
Ufain which civilization is founded, and
education is the key which braces the
arch and lmvpb strength thut supports
the superstructure. He who would suc
ceed in agriculture must first get the
foundation well laid. Modern agricul
ture is awaiting the development of
modern brains. It is as yet asleep.
The crust of possibilities has hardly
been scratched. It is the most honora
ble, independent und dignified of all the
callings of man It iH the most God-
like, being Nature's one and only call
ing God Himself put Adam to dress
ing the garden, the highest and most
noble occupation possible, and after he
had fallen from his high estate God,
who still loved him, chose for His dear
est and most beloved creation the pro
fession of farming.
The teachers' institute was well and
profitably attended, more than 200
teachers and superintendents availing
themselves of this rare opportunity.
Miss Parrish and her able assistants
did wonders for us. The dormitory ac
commodations and table comforts were
good enough for anybody. The school
authorities did all in their power to
make us comfortable, and we wish to
assure them that the whole thing was a
success, and that the school now has
our friendship and support.
We found this plant well adapted to
its high duties, und splendidly conducted
by Prof. J. II. Mt-lson, principal, and
his able assistants, some of whom were
our institute instructors. Among them
we mention Prof. Robinson, instructor
in agriculture nnd gardening—a teacher
with enthusiasm, energy and ability.
(Robinson, almost thou persuadeth us
to he a farmer!) Miss Jordan, domestic
science teacher, who presented her sub
ject matte so forcibly as to cause even
mere man to desire u knowledge of
cooking; "Uncle" John Ware, farm di
rector, wilo knows how to manage the
hoys, and carries on that line to per
fection, aided by Prof. Robinson.
Some of the teachers were off on
their vacation, and therefore we didn't
meet them.
A few of the college hoys are spend
ing their holidays at the college, put
ting into practice the knowledge al
ready gained. We found these boys a
jolly, hearty, well-behaved, hustling
set. We did not hear one word of com
plaint, or see one hesitate in the dis
charge of his duties.
Prof. Melson is forever "on the job."
We need not fear that our boys or girls
will go wrong there. The old idea, "a
reformatory for had eggs," won’t go.
Prof. Melson don’t want unruly, worth
less children; they can't stay there.
We must keep (hem at home; nobody
wants them. He, nor any other man,
can do the impossible. Send him our
brightest and best jewels and let him
polish them and make them a pleasure
to their parents and friends, an honor
to their country, and the benefactors of
mankind. You need not be afraid that
your child will he led astray by the vi
nous; no such will find harbor there.
This is a dean school, and should be the
pride of the Fourth district.
The school is still in its infancy, and
there are many ways in which it will
be improved from time to time. For
one thing, a girl's dormitory is badly-
needed. It needs more money, more
patronage, and a more generous co
operation. There should he no day stu
dents;—all should live on the campus
and he subject to the same duties and
discipline. There should he no vaca
tion. To raise and gather a crop takes
twelve months in this climate, and to
get any permanent benefit from our
agricultural school in other ways than
by actual practice is a joke;—to get
this needful practice in less than a year
is worse than a joke. The new year
should begin in January, and all work,
as far as practicable, should be don*,
by the students. They should learn to
use what they are taught. If we would
make Georgia the leading agricultural
State, let's equip our schools, and have
them not only teach, but train our
children to use their education. Then,
and not until then, will farm life be
made attractive and profitable.
Fellow-citizens, let us put our pride
and money into these schools and we
wdl reap a reward of happiness and
riches beyond conception. Our lands
are rich; our climate is divine; air and
water pure; our people energetic, ambi
tious and patriotic; but the curse of ig
norance hangs heavy over the land.
Let's shake this monster olf, and in
stead of poverty, disease and slavery
to our creditors we will-be the richest,
healthie-t and happiest people on earth.

I Cotton Without Commercial Fer
tilizers.
Albany Herald.
Very few of the farmers of South
west Georgia have used any commercial j
fertilizers in planting their cotton this
year. All have either materially re- j
dueed the u«e of commercial fertilizers ,
or dispensed with them entirely. Some :
were forced to adopt this course be
cause they could not pay for the fertil
izers used last year and see their way-
clear to go in debt for more to be
applied to a crop for which there would
he a doubtful and uncertain market so
long as the European war continued.
There were still others, however, who,
though able to buy the fertilizers, de
cided to try an experiment this year
with making a crop without commercial
fertilizers at all. The more thrifty ones
commenced early to make compost of
such material as was available, and
their crops were planted with only such
fertilization as could be provided at
home.
And the indications now are that the
changed conditions enforced upon the
Southern farmers this year by the
European war are going to result in the
use of less commercial fertilizers in
future; for the crops are loking as well
ami promise quite as good a yield us they
did this time last year, when there had
been a liberal use of fertilizers.
One farmer who was interviewed by
a Herald man a day or two ago said
that his cotton looked as well now as it
did this time last year, and that he
could now see no reason why he should
not get as much cotton per acre as he
did last year. "In fact," he continued,
"I rather expect to get more, for the
weed will stand drouth better and will
continue to hear longer than when it is
l ushed by the artificial stimulation that
is imparted by commercial fertilizers. I
expect my cotton to continue to bear
until frost kills it. And even if I don't
make as much cotton as I did last year,
the coat of what I do mske will be
less. ”
The cutting down of the hills for
commercial fertilizers this year may
prove to he only one of the many
blessings in disguise that have come to
our Southern farmers out of the
changes enforced by the European war.
Bilious Attacks.
When you have n bilious attack your
liver fails to perform its functions.
You become constipated. The food you
eat ferments in your stomach instead
of digesting. This inflames the stomach
and causes nuusea, vomiting and a ter
rible headache. Take Chamberlain’s
Tablets. They will tone up your liver,
clean out your stomach, ami you will
soon he ns well as ever. They only cost
a quarter. Obtainable everywhere.
Just Be Yourself.
How easy it is to do something just
exactly as the other fellow did it. It
is so simple to imitate, so artless to
copy, and needs hardly any new thought
to produce. Every one of us can do
something, but it entirely depends on
how we do it whether it will be noticed
and honored or overlooked and forgot
ten.
What is the use of undertaking any
thing unless from the beginning we de
termine to make it glow with our own
individuality and he just a little better
and more carefully executed than it
was by the fellow that went before us.
Of course, we cannot shine supreme in
all things we undertake, but if we
would only drop that great longing to
always find the easiest way to do what
we attempt, the habit would encourage
and broaden o.ir pride nnd make us
capable of doing something that would
stand out strong and characteristic
front all our former simple imitated
acts.
In business, in pleasure, at home or
abroad, that policy should always be
strictly followed and carefully nursed
until you have the whole of the enter
prising spirit within you as a true part
of yourself, which in the end will surely
bring its great reward. Be yourself;
be different. Strive to understand,
improve and create. Don't knock off
and lie down when you think you have
finished your task, but endeavor to bet
ter it—better your standing, und in do
ing so better those around you. Put
pride in your work, feeling in your
pastime, strength in your thoughts and
motives. Don’t rest in the force of
the powers of others and hang back,
afraid to press to the front. Be your
self, as you were meant to be, and the
rest will come of its own at.card.
Your place will he open, your real
position easily found, your task will al
ways be worth the while, and all your
imagination and the mean acts of
friends and foes cannot gain strength
enough to harm you.
A Mistake Made by Many.
Don't wait for rheumatism to indi
cate diseased kidneys. When you suf
fer pains and aches by day and sleep-
disturbing bladder weakness by night,
feel tired, nervous and run-down, the
kidneys and bladder should be restored
to healthy, strong and regular action.
It is a mistake to postpone treatment.
Foley's Kidney Pills put the kidneys in
sound, healthy condition and keep them
active and strong. Begin taking to-dav.
Good results follow the first dose. J.

The Day of the Dollar.
N,- w York World.
Americans are not just now con
scious of being "told every morning
what clever fellows they are,” as
charged by the Frankfurter Zeitung.
But the American dollar is hea-ing
every morning that it is quite the
cleverest thing in the money line cir-
culating>in the world to-day, and as the
testimony comes from Europe, Ameri
cans must believe jt an ,J appear as
modest, as possible.
The British premium on the dollar
moved up another notch in the\foreign
exchange market yesterday, and now-
stands at a good 2 per cent. The
French premium on the American dol
lar is at 4 per cent. The Italian
premium is around 15 per cent., and
the German tribute to the mightiness
of the dollar over the mark is expressed
in the magnificent terms of 16 per
c nt.
If Germany fears that this may make
the dollar conceited, we will put the
matter in another way. The dollar re
mains at par. Thes - other currencies
are at a discount in gold.
They all pretend to be on a gold basis,
but they are not, and Germany is fur
ther removed from a gold basis than
any of the belligerents except Russia,
which never makes much pretension
along' that line. Their talk of the gold
redeemability of their currencies is a
pretense and a fraud. They all have
large gold stocks in bank, but a note
holder would better get on the firing-
line at the front than demand gold for
his note, and there is no practical dif
ference between gold hoarded by banks
and gold hoarded by individuals, in
keeping currency on a gold b.sis.
This is the season in America when
exports run low, when imports are rel
atively large, and when consequently
foreign exchange rules high and gold is
exported. When, therefore, at this
season foreign exchange sells as low as
it does now, where is it likely to go
when the new crops begin to move
abroad and the ordered war supplies
have to be paid for?
How the war will come out other
wise is problematical. But there is no
doubt where its much longer prosecu
tion will leave the currencies of Europe
or what will be the world’s standard of
reckoning in future international trade.
Greatly Benefited by Chamberlain s
Liniment.
"I have used Chamberlain’s Liniment
for sprains, bruises and rheumatic pains,
and the great benefit I have received
justifies my recommending it in the
highest terms,” writes Mrs. Florence
Slife, Wabash. Ind. If you are troubled
with rheumatic pains you will certainly
be pleased with the prompt relief which
Chamberlain’s Liniment affords. Ob
tainable everywhere.
Way of a Woman.
Indianapolis Star.
Why is it that though women are
taught that marriage is their mission
in life, any open effort on their part to
fulfill that mission is met with sneets
and ridicule? There is a theory that
the truly "womanly" woman must
modestly conceal any wish she may
cherish to win the affections of a given
man. but- must sit at home until he
seeks her out of his own accord. This
is a theory entertained probably by
most men, and a good many women at
least affect to believe it; though, as a
matter of fact, the womanly woman of
all others is the one who most actively
exerts herself to gain her coveted
prize. She spins her little web, she
inveigles the unsuspecting man into its
meshes— innocently enough, oh, yes—
and he is lost, though he fatuously be
lieves that he went of his own free will
and accord.
The fact that the most womanly of
women, as they are commonly classed,
may practically do the courting and
never he charged with anything un-
maidenlv is set out with extreme
cleverness in the latest novel by Henry
Sydnor Harrison, author of "Queed. ’’
The "way of a maid" who has chosen
marriage as a career and is a -‘home
body" in capturing a husband has not
been so well depicted in any recent
novel. But as it was the fulfillment of
her obvious destiny, why blame her or
her kind for the exercise of their arts?
A youngster in Germantown, Phila
delphia, received two presents at the
Si.me time—one a diary, which for a
while he kept very carefully, and the
other a pea-shooting popgun, which he
fired indiscriminately on all occasions.
One day his mother found the follow
ing terse record in his diary:
"Monday, cold and sloppy. Tuesday,
cold and sloppy. Wednesday, cold and
sloppy—shot grandma."
THAT'S WHAT I WANT
A WELL-KNOWN WOMAN,
Weak, Run-down, Nervous,
Atlanta, Ga.,—"I have taken Doctor
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and
Golden Medical
Discovery, and
having received so
much good from
them would say
that, you have not
exaggerated in the
least iti what you
claim for them, I
first took the ‘ Fa
vor ite Prescrip
tion' for a weak
ened and very
much run-down
constitution, also an excited, nervous
state. Was so excitable that I could
not sleep well nnd when I would dose
off would easily awaken. But five
bottles of the ‘Favorite Prescription ’ #
gave me most decided relief. It is an'
excellent tonic and relieves tired and
excited nerves. Later, I took the
‘Golden Medical Discovery ’ for u cough
which was so severe that 1 had to go to
bed from .the exhaustion occasioned by
coughing spells. With the cough ami
cold I had a severe sore throat, inflamed
to such a degree that I could hardly
swallow. The ‘Discovery,’ is the great
remedy for coughs and colds and
the ‘Favorite Prescription’ is the one
remedy for women.”—Mas. E. A. WAT
SON, 120 Current Street.
Every woman who has reason to
believe that backache, headache, un
natural pains, low spirits, sleepless
nights, irregularities or a catarrhal
condition is caused by a derangement
of the womanly functions, owes it to
herself to speedily overcome the trouble
before a general breakdown causes per
manent prostration.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is
a non-alcoholic remedy that any ailing
woman can safely take because it is prep
ared from roots and herbs with pure
glycerine, containing tonic properties of
the most pronounced character.

Little Household Hints.
Sweep the dirt under the kitchen]
cabinet. The room looks just as clean,
and it takes less time than it does to
take it up in a dust-pan.
If ever it is necessary to choose be
tween an afternoon at the bridge club
and cleaning up the house, always
choose the former.
Buy something from every agent
that comes to the house, whether you
need it or not. It makes business good
for the agent.
Let the pet dog sleep on the foot
of the bed on cold nights. It gets the
covers full of hair, but the dog likes it.
Put the ashes in the best galvanized
tub. The junk men- that come through
the alleys often have need .of a good
tub at home.
Neglect to fix the furnace when go
ing out on a cold day, so that the fire
can also go out.
To make the hiscuits into which you
have forgotten to put baking powder
more palatable, throw them out and
mix another batch, adding the baking
powder.
Use as many eggs as possible when
the price is high. It increases the cost
of living and thus enlivens domestic
conversation.
Have dinner late the night you are
going to the theatre. It adds so much
to domestic felicity and the joy of the
play when tt is necessary to break one’s
neck to get into one’s se .t befote the
play begins.
Always mop the kitchen before the
man of the house carries the ashes up
out of the cellar. It makes work dou-
ble and enables anyone to tell who is
responsible for the dirty appearance of
the kitchen.
In the summer time, when the
weather is uncertain, leave all the win
dows up when you go away for the day.
The rain will destroy the finish of the
hardwood floors, but the house will be
cool when you return.
The easiest way to prevent the odor
of sauer kraut permeating every crack
and cranny of the house is not to cook
any.
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.
If you are one of those who cannot go,
yet feel that you need relief from such
'pain and misery, try Foley’s Kidney
Pills. They restore the kidneys to
healthful activity and make you feel
well and strong. J. F. Lee Drug Co.
The next session of Congress is al
most sure to pass a rural credits bill.
Both Republicans and Democrats wil
wish to make a good record on the
matter—or at least appear to have
made a good record—in order to have
an appeal to the farmer vote in next
year’s Presidential campaign. As we
see it, the farmers must have Govern
ment aid or the measure will be an
absolute sham and delusion. Other
governments provide money for lending
to the farmers on good security; why
not ours? And a government which for
a hundred years has levied tariff taxes
for the benefit of manufacturers cannot
afford to shy at "paternalism" when it
is proposed merely to use the Govern
ment’s credit to provide funds for the
farmer on perfectly safe security.— I
