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. J. S M. 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. F. Lee Drug Co. 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. ArToMATir Oil. Cook Stove; This painter is right. Davis’ Paint is what you all want. ASK YOUR DEALER. 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 The Progressive Farmer.
