Along with the reported reduction in the acreage in cotton comes the cer tainty of an increase In the acreage devoted to corn and other grain crops. Georgia has raised at least 80 per cent, more oats this year than last, and the increase in the yield of wheat has teen equally as large From all over the State— even from South Georgia, which is not supposed to be a good section for small grain —the news cornea that the Hour mills have been running day and night, and many of them are far behind with their grind ing. Take the State over, and thpcorn crop has not been so promising in years. This prospect is not confined to Georgia, either. An extensively traveled gentleman said the other day that he had seen corn out in Mississippi equal to any he had ever seen in Iowa. All this, of course, means more meat, and more lard, and more bacon, and more independence*. Surely, the South will soon come into its own. The future is not without its clouds, however. Cotton may not command a very profitable price next fall. With the indefinite continuance of the Euro pean war, it is unreasonable to expect much of an advance in the price; but conditions that make a low price for cotton also make certain high prices for provisions. With this prospect before us, it is a matterof gratulation that the people of the State and of tha South are in a better position to take care of themselves than they have been in many years. We do not believe that the complica tions growing out of the questions at issue between this country and Ger many will result in anything mure se rious, even if the worst comes to the worst, than a severing of diplomatic relations, and this will have little affect on the price of cotton, as Germany is getting very little of our cotton any way; so we think there is no reason to be alarmed. With smaller hills for commercial fertilizers to pay, and with smaller ac counts of every sort to settle, tho South is not facing bankruptcy by any MRS. R. H HARDAWAY. President nnd oriul- rial promoter of County Club. TAXES'; DEXOMIXA’l lO.XAE COL LEGES, For several years an effort lias been made to have repealed that part of the Constit ition of the Stale which places a tax upon denominational colleges, but up to this time there has been no submission of the question to the peo ple of Georgia to decide by their vote what should be done in the matter. At last there seems a probability that tho proposition will reach the voters of the State. My an almost unanimous vote the Semite has passed the proposed amendment to the Constitution, and it is to lie presumed that the House will take like aetion. it is hardly u matter of doubt as to what the vote of the people will be when the measure reaches them. This tax on denomunational colleges was unknown in Georgia until the Con stitution of ls'7 was adopted, its pur pose, when put into the document as then framed, was to place a tax on ne gro schools supported by people out side of Georgia. Mut it failed of its object, for the people who were willing to give money to educate negroes could and did not invest their money where the tax laws of the State could not reach it. Its only effect was to place u burden upon a few stiuggling and hard-pressed church schools, maintained by our own people. These church institutions are not operated for monev. Most of the men and women who teach in them could do better in other fields, in point of salary. Some of the best educators of the State have been driven from these schools because they could not afford to do the work for the meager pay they were receiving; yet all the time these same schools have been sending out some of the best trained men and wo men in the commonwealth, many of whom could not have obtained a fin ished education under less generous conditions. Denominational colleges have always been helpers and friends of the poor. Unclaimed Letters.

A daily vacation bible school was opened Monday, 5th inst . in the Sun day-school room of the First Baptist church with an enrollment of 40. In creasing interest has heen manifested by both children and parents, and the enrollment this morning was 150. Quite a number of patrons and friends nave visited the school and express their ap preciation of the splendid work that is being done. The daily vacation bible school move ment was atarted in New York several years ago, in response to a threefold need. The idle school children were restless at home and spent most of the time in the streets, for lack of a play ground. There were idle colleg- stu dents at home for the summer, who were making no use of their training for service among their home people, and there were the idle church build ings, which were opened one day in seven, to be tightly closed as soon as preaching services were over. It was the purpose of the bible sphoolB to cause the colh ge students to feel their re sponsibility toward the school children, whom they could direct in lineB of use fulness and service, and to use the well-equipped Sunday-school rooms for places of training. The movement has spread rapidly, and several of the col lege girls of Newnan have had expe rience in the bible schools. The school here is under the super vision of Miss Nora Flemming, who re cently completed a training course in Atlanta, after the close of the public schools there. She has char.e of the basketry d partment, and a large class of hoys and girls have been working on rattan and raffia baskets this week. The sewing department is conducted by Miss Louise Byram, who has studied domestic art at the Georgia Normal and Industrial College. The older girls are doing different kinds of fancy work, while the smaller girls are studying plain finger sewing. Misses Bartie Flemming and Carolyn Milner, who have had experience in primary work and are well adapted for teaching the little folks, have charge of the kindergarten department. The opening half hour is spent in de votional exercises, the bible stories be ing told by Miss Carolyn Milner, who graduated from the Baptist Missionary- Training School at Louisville, Ky., this summer. The school is open from 9 to 12, and visitors will be gladly welcomed. This is a splendid movement for our town, and deserves the hearty co-opt ration and support of all our people. State Council Jr. 0. U. A. M. to Meet in Newnan. The twentieth regular session of the State Council, Jr. O. U. A. M., will be held in Newnan on Aug. 1U and 11, and Newnan Council is making extensive preparations for the entertainment of the visiting brethren.

The funeral benefit de partment was shown to be in excellent condition, the cash surplus on May 1 being $455,862 96. Claims paid to fam ilies of deceased members from Oct. 1, 1901, to May 31, 1915, aggregated $3,- 850,501.10.

Prompt Delivery TWO 'PIIOXES 60 Efficient Service Fruit and Vegetable Containers. Now that the canning season is on, doubtless many will need to purchase new containers for their fruits and veg etables. ' Where products are packed for home use only, the glass jars are most eco nomical. Best ones to buy are those having clamp tops, since these are so easily used in intermittent processing, and the caps (being glass) do not need to be replaced each year. The old screw top, with its grooves, is hard to keep sanitary, turns up on the sides, and damages the rubber in intermittent processing, oftentimes making it nec essary to put on new rubber at the last processing, or else endanger the keep ing value of the product. Where the mere looks of the product while in the can is not questioned col ored glass is all right, but where fruit is packed for sale or to be placed on exhibition, by all means use clear flint glass, as this shows up the product to best advantage. An even, pretty pack is much more easily secured in a square-shaped jar. When packing relishes, pickles, pre serves, etc., for sale, special shaped containers are needed. It is not the mere name of a certain preserve or pickle, but the attractive ness of a product that causes the pur chaser to buy; and in order to have our products attractive they must be in new containers of uniform size, and packed uniformly—that is, all in one jar must he of uniform size. When buying tins for general pur- Momentous Future In Woman’s Mind The expectant mother revolves in her mind all we un derstand by destiny. And It is of the utmost importance that her physical comfort be our tlrst thought. There is a most splendid rem edy for this purpose, known as “Mother's Friend." It is applied over the muscles of the stomach, gently rubbed in, and at once penetrates to relieve all strain on nerves, cords, ligaments and all parts involved. It makes the muscles so pliant that they expand naturally. And at the same time they are invigorated by the absence of harassing pains so apt to distress the mind. Whatever will add to the comfort of the expectant mother is a great and help ful influence since a calm and peaceful period must have a wonderfully benetlcial impress upon the coming child. Get a bottle of “Mother's Fri-nd" of any druggist and you will realize why so many women declare it to he the most helpful remedy they know of Write today to Bradlield Regulator Co., TOC Lamar Bldg., Atlanta, Ga„ for a splendid book of great interest and value to every ex pectant mother. Among the letters of interest in this boot- one says, in part. “Seven years ago I suiTere from Wednesday to Saturday and had 1 have instruments. This time I was sick or three hours. I want to tel! ali that I c., not praise 'Mother's Friend' high enough for the good it did me, as 1 had an easy time and the baby was perfect, 1 will alwayi rpeak u good word for it." poses those having soldered tops should be chosen. Ones sealed with waxed cord are all right for tomatoes, peaches and other products that require only one proces-ing, but for intermittent processing they are useless, unless new cord is used after each processing. The cans having a solder rim made on them are much more easily used than those having no solder rim. Discard all tin cans that have even a tiny rust spot on the inner side. Some products, such as beets, should be packed in lacquered (enameled) tins, in order that the natural color may be retained. Mrs. Eura Jones Hyde, County Agent. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur able. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treat ment. pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and there fore requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo.
