Suffering front Doughs i Golds Augusta, Georgia.—«I have taken ' Golden Medical Discovery ’ with very satisfactory results for a cough and eoid. The cough was of a very aggra vating nature, disturbed me day and night, and had more or less 'influ ence on the heart. I coughed hard, inoessently, and raised a great quantity of thick and stringy sputum. My friends concluded that I had consump tion, as my cough was so harsh and so persistent. The medicine surely gave me decided relief. It is an old ''stand by ’ of mine and my faith in it has never wavered.”—Mu. 0. T. Hair, Consumption kills more people than rifle balls. It is more deadly than anv o f t, li e m u c li dreaded epidem ics. It is n steal thy, gradual, slow disease. It pene trates the whole , body. It is in every drop of blood. It seems to work only at the lungs, but the terrible drain and waste go on all »over the body. For the coughs that run into consumption, a remedy is needed that will work on the blood, make it pure, rich and wholesome, build up the wasting tis sues and put the body into condition for a fight against this dread disease. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery fights in the right way. Its first action is to put the stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys in good working order. That makes digestion good and assimilation quick and thoro ; it makes sound, healthy flesh. That’s half the battle. This makes the " Discovery ” good for those who are lighter in weight and less robust than they ought to be. Professional Cards. WILLIAM Y. ATKINSON ATTORNEY-AT-LAW Office over Cuttino’n sfore. A.

It tins been found by officials of the state department of entomology anil the l nlted States hoard of entomology in Decatur, Ormiy, Thomas, Lee, Dough erty, Terrell, Brooks and Mitchell counties, and is, undoubtedly, at the present time, in eighteen or twenty southwest Georgia counties. 1 he boll weevil was expected in (ieorgia this year, but came considerably earlier, and its spread hits been far more rapid, than was anticipated. Where its average rate of travel lias been fifty miles annually, it has now moved at least 100 miles from southeast Alabama, due to favorable weuther and crop condition*. While the weevil is here, there is no cause for grave alarm. Georgia is in far better position to cope with it, State Entomologist 1C. Lee Worsham points out, than any other Infested state has been. "It is not necessary to discontinue the growing of cotton on account of the appearance of the boll weevil," the department states. "Georgia has had the advantage of the experience of other states, and if we malic use of that advantage, collon can he grown at a profit. We should by all means practice cotton diversification, at least to the extent of growing home sup plies; and if we then follow already well established principles In dealing with (tie weevil, we can continue to make a good cotton crop at a fair profit." Recent Weevil History Tlie boll weevil appeared in Georgia, tlie department states, between August :;;t and August 31, and females began to deposit eggs on squares and young bolls. Under present weather conditions the life cycle ts com pleted within 12 to 17 days. This means that, adult weevils will appear within a few days io attack other squares and bolls and to move further eastward. It is difficult to estimate how much territory will be covered before frost. The only damage that can be done except on late cotton, is to the top crop which is small and almost negligible this year., When the cotton plant is killed by frost, the weevils go Into winter quar ters under trash about the fields, in seed houses, in the woods and especially in Spanish moss. Most of ilie weevils die from various causes during the winter, and only a small percentage of them reappear in the spring. They come out of winter quarters as soon as the weather begins to get warm, and are ready at once to attack the new crop. But before the weevils are abundant enough to destroy the entire crop, those surviving the winter have to give rise to new broods. In south Georgia It will be about August 15, 1915, based on known history of the in sect, before they will be abundant enough to destroy the squares as rapidly as they appear. Remedies For The Weevil There is no one remedy for the weevil (hat works successfully. The very best plan known is for the farmers to pick their cotton as early as possible, and then destroy the stalks eilher by burning or deep plowing, thus de stroying also the weevils while they are still at work on the squares and bolls, and before they have a chance to leave the cotton fields. Another important factor is the early planting of early maturing varieties. Farmers in boll weevil territory should plant varieties that will produce a crop by August 1 to August 16. It should be well fertilized and cultivated rapidly. Farmers should reduce I heir cotton acreage and plant the very best varieties of seed obtainable. The state department of entomology has produced two varieties that are comparatively early maturing and resistant to wilt disease. This seed should be planted wherever wilt or black root occurs. Limited quantities of this seed will be supplied lo farmers in boll weevil territory for next season's planting. _ Seed Selection Important One of the principal troubles is that cotton growers generally have paid too little attention to seed selection. It is not yet too late for Georgia farmers to select their seed for next season from the best stalk—those which produce well and mature early. This department will be glad to gin the seed selected from Individual stalks for any farmer sending them in, free of cost.. It will estimate the percentage of lint and return both seed and lint to the grower. If this plan is followed, the seed from each stalk should be placed in individual sacks and labeled. By following carefully this plan of selection, it is not at all difficult to double the ordinary yield, remembering always that, what is wanted is a stalk that will both yield a big crop and mature early. Attention is called to the fact that it is strictly against the Georgia law for any person to have live boll weevils in his possession, and to transfer them from one point to another. Several cases have come to the attention of the department in which parties have carried them from one county to another, in order to exhibit them to friends. The department gives warning that the law will be strictly enforced, and' prosecutions will follow violation, in order to prevent, as far as possible, the spread of the pest.. Department Anxious To Aid The department of entomology is anxious to do everything in its power to aid the farmers of Georgia in growing cotton in spite of the boll weevil This department has the active co-operation of Dr. W. D. Hunter of the United States Bureau of Entomology and members of his force, including Dr. W. D. Pierce of Washington and George D. Smith, stationed at Thomas- ville. This cooperation means much to Georgia at this time because of the wide experience these men have had in boll weevil work in TexaH, Louisiana and Mississippi. Officials of the state department of entomology, including State Entomolo gists E. Lee Worsham anil Assistants C. S. Spooner and W. V. Ileed, will be constantly on the job to define the limits of the weevil and to assist the farmers in every possible way. The important, the imperative thing for Ihe farmers of Georgia to do is to familiarize themselves with the remedies anil to apply them, it is im perative that all cotton stalks be destroyed before frost; that early maturing varieties be planted as early as possible, and. where black root or wilt oc curs, the farmers should call upon the department to assist them by sup plying them with wilt resistant seed. Delicate Hint. Fred, four years old, and his moth er were visiting a friend. Invariably when they came the hostess would hare some cake and coffee for them. This time'she did not make anything. Fred, after waiting some time, became impatient and anxious. Wishing to remind her as delicately as possible, he said ns lie went into the other room: "I'll play the piano.

It will not be fashionable to steal umbrellas the coming season, says an expert on fashions—or on umbrella stealing, one forgets which. But will It be fashionable to return some of those stolen last, season? ' Newspaper Man Recommends It. R. R. Wentworth, of the St. James (Mo.) News, writes: ‘‘Two months ago I took a severe cold which settled on my lungB, and 1 had such painB in my lungs I feared pneumonia. I got. a bot tle of Foley’s Honey and Tar and it straightened me up immediately. I can recommend it to be a genuine cough and lung medicine.” Many mothers write that this reliable medicine cured their children of croup. Hay fever and asthma sufferers say it gives quick re lief.
