Rev. S. D. Cremean Has Made
$30,000 in Cotton.
Atlantn, Gn., Dec. 11. —Buying two
hales of cotton on an impulse four
years ngo, Rev. Stephen D. Cremean
later selected dealing in the staple as a
method of raising a sum with which to
build a vocational school.
A minister of the North Georgia
Methodist Conference, he has found
time to study the cotton market and to
deal in the product along extensive
lines, Starting with $300, Wednesday
he found that his holdings are valued at
more than $30,000 at the present price
of cotton. He is retaining the cotton
with the belief that the near future
will see belter prices prevailing
throughout the Southern States.
Mr. Cremean has just come to Atlan
ta to accept the pastorate of Mount
Vernon MethodiHt church, at Inman
Yards. He came here from Newnan
and was preparing Wednesday morning
to return to that place to settle up his
affairs, when he tabulated his ware
house receipts to find that his $.300 hns
grown to $.30,0110.
Mr. Cremean isn't the only member
of the family who was a victim of the
“cotton craze,” for he has a 12-year-
old daughter who has collected dimes
enough in threes years to accumulate
$300, just the umount with which her
father made his start.
While sitting on hia front porch at
Newnan four years ago two members
of his congregation passed. They were
driving n wagon laden with two bales
of cotton, and they stopped for a chut
with their pastor.
The latter remarked that he had re
ceived some cotton from a farm which
he owned near Newnan and had stored
it, being unwilling to sell at the mar
ket price. “I want to sell now,” said
one of the cotton-growers. “I think
the price is good enough.” The minis
ter didn't agree with the member of his
Hock, whereupon the latter, in a spirit
of fun, asked the preacher why he
didn't buy.
The challenge was accepted and the
two bales constituted his lirat pur
chase. On them was borrowed enough
money with which to make additional
purchases. Every time cotton went
down Mr. Cremean bought with all the
money he could borrow.
When the market advanced, he sold.
For four years he has been following
this method of increasing his wealth.
Twelve-year-old Falescia Cremean no
ticed that her father was studying the
cotton quotations and was making more
frequent trip* to the bunks. For a
number of years Mr. and Mrs. Cro-
meun had made it a rule to give thuir
only daughter every dime that cumc
into the family treasury. Many pieces
of change of this denomination were re
ceived and the little girl saved them
carefully, ull the while asking her fath
er what pleasure he got out of cotton
quotations. Ono day he explained to
her how money could be made.
It wasn't long before the prices
dropped. The little girl approached her
father with a suck full of dimes. He
didn’t know she bad so many. She told
him she had saved just enough to buy
a bale of cotton and asked him to make
the deal. Now they are partners in
the business, and she is us familiar
with the market page as he is. Wed
nesday she declared unhesitatingly that
when the market was over 15 cents she
would sell. "Until then,” she told a
reporter who was asking hor about her
deals and the prospect of buying soma
cotton, “there’s no use to talk to me
about selling. Mine is not for sale."
The love between a mother und
daughter is a very gracious tie, but to
gain it you must find the golden mean
ing between priggishness and want of
dignity, for you must enjoy life with
out being frivolous. You must guide
unconsciously, so that the check is un
noticed. You must learn the art of,
making new friendships, to appreciate
new impressions, to move with the
times; and, above all, you must never
appear dowdy. It is a great mistake,
but, alas! too common a one, to neglect
dress;—it is absolutely imperative tnat
the middle-aged woman be garbed be
comingly and well. Dress, to a woman,
is like the setting to a jewel. It is a
duty they owe to themselves and to the
world in general. We are always in
fluenced by our surroundings, and a
well-dressed woman has the same
effect on our senses as a charming pic
ture or a melodious strain of music.
There is a dignity, as well as a grace,
in dress which does much to influence
those about us. It is the duty of every
woman, at all times of her life, to look
as beautiful as possible.

REV. A. H. SYKES,
OF NASHVILLE,
NOW TESTIFIES.
Minister of the Oospel Thinks it
His Duty to Make Statement
About Wonderful Change.
It is seldom, indeed, that men of
prominence, especially ministers of the
gospel, willingly express their indebt
edness publicly to a proprietary medi
cine. However, when efficiency that is
shown by the uniform preparation, Tan-
lac, statements from our best citizens
are to be considered throughly cummen-
surale with the good that is actually
being accomplished,
Rev. A. H. Sykes, paHtorof the Wat
kins Park Presbyterian Church, Nash
ville, Tenn., prominent not only as a
minister of the gospel, but popular as a
man and citizen who has been true to
his friends and every trust ever reposed
in him, said recently:
“For the past ten months Mrs. Sykes
has been in very delicate health, suffer
ing from had stomach and kidney trou
bles, which gradually developed into a
general nervous breakdown, At times
her condition became alarming, and I
frequently sought medical advice, but
nothing we could do for her seemed to
bring relief.
"In fact, she suffered so long and so
much that I fuel it my duty to let every
one know what this medicine has done
for her. For several months her con
dition was such that she had to remain
in bed, and as a last resort I decided to
let her try Tunlac.
"I am a conservative man and have
always been skeptical regarding the
use of proprietary medicines, but this
case has certainly proven an exception.
I am now lirmly convinced that Tanlac
ih a medicine of great power and ex
traordinary merit. I do not think I
have ever seen anything to give such
prompt results. Mrs. Sykes had taken
only two-thirds of a bottle of this medi
cine when wo began to notice a marked
improvement in her condition. In less
thun a week from the time she began
taking it she was nble to sit up, and is
to-day able to help with the household
duties. Before she began taking Tan
lac she had fearful pains in her side,
und suffered constantly from sour
stomach anti indigestion, and was in
tensely nervous. These distressing
symptoms, I am thankful to say, have
entirely disappeared, her appetite has
returned, und she seems to relish every
thing she eats. She sleeps better und
is gaining strength and flesh rapidly. I
think it only a question of a short time
until her health is fully restored.
"Tunlac has certainly proven a re
markable remedy in her case, and will
do all you claim for it. I cheerfully rec
ommend it to my friends.”

Get That Money Out of the Fence
Corner.
Pro^rMNivo Farmer.
Some time ago we quoted the follow
ing from a contemporary:
"The other day while riding along
the road our surprise may be imagine!)
when we discovered $-10 lying half hid
den by weeds and briars in Farmer
Jones' fence corner. It had evidently
been lying there all fall and winter,
and was rapidly becoming unrecogniz
able because of exposure to the weath
er. We were the more amazed at the
sight when we remember that Jones is
not generally considered a wealthy
man, and that last fall, to pay hlsdebts,
he had to sacrifice his cotton at six
cents a pound. The $40 we refer to
was in the form of a riding cultivator
purchased leas than a year ago.”
We wonder how many Farmer Joneses
a census of the Cotton States would re
veal?
Certainly while wo are urging the
use of more improved farm implements
the time is appropriate for stressing
the necessity for their better care.
Paint, oil and housing are three things
required.
His First Birthday.
H.rry Stillwol! Edwards in Atlanta Cor.tOitutton.
Eleven years ago a boy t
| Some time ago a party named BroWn
i married a pretty little thing, and after
born in I t * le usual honeymoon the young couple
Atlanta. Hia birthday had never been
celebrated. People do not celebrate
tragedies. He grew up on a quilt and
the floor of an almost bare room. He
was more than orphaned, since he was
at once deserted by his father, and the
motherhood of his mother perished in
her battle with life.
Early—that is, when he wa3 able to
move about without a hand in his or a
skirt to cling to—he waH put out day by
day on the street to care for himself.
After a while he was g^ven a nickel,
on which to sustain his starved little
body. He did it, somehow, in some
way. The good God knows the whole
story. None else.
For ten tragic years this boy saw the
well-clothed, well-fed children of the
city at play, or hurrying to and from
school; the lights in their homes, and
their shadows on the curtains.
For ten years he pressed his face
against the glass, behind which lay the
dainty food of restaurants, and breathed
through the swinging doors his share—
the rich odors.
For ten years he heard the church
bells ring above his head and the sweet
voices of the choir singers chant the
birth of a Child in a manger.
For ten years his hand touched no
llower; the song of no bird reached him.
Then the miracle! Someone who had,
doubtless, read over a thousand times
the tender words of the Master, "Suf
fer little children to come unto me and
forbid them not,” heard from afar a
spiritual translation, very simple, very
beautiful: “Help little children to
come unto me, and hinder them not.”
The gloved hand was bared and the
soiled hand of the little boy rested in
it. With that touch the world changed.
Life that was strange and far otf drew
near. The people in their cars seemed
friendly. The stately marble of the
churches was clothed with warmth and
color. Out of the street, all wondering,
came the little waif. He stood at_ the
parting of liie ways. He had stepped
from darkness and a living death into
sunlight and immortal life. What a
revelation, if the lonely, starving soul
of that boy could have expressed itself!
Vibrant, alert, and responsive to the
spiritual touch that found him in the
shadow, this little boy is at school in a
beautiful valley of North Georgia. Na
ture and nature’s God are shaping him
in the dawns and sunsets and peace of
the mountains.
On the tenth of next month a little
group of girls up at the North Avenue
Presbyterian church are to celebrate
the birthday of this little boy. It will
be the first celebration. The day no
longer wears the hue of tragedy; it is
clothed with beauty, and radiant with
the reflected glory of the world's great
est drama. The little boy will not be
there, but his friends will gather, and
from this meeting will go for him a
guarantee of one more year in his
dreamland. One more? Well, that is
the way they are caring for him, these
little mothers, one year at a time.
They will not let him go back to misery.
He is no longer an orphan; the girlhood,
the womanhood and the motherhood of
Atlanta have joined hands around him
and have built him a “nest in the great
ness of God. ”

"Harry, dear,” happily remarked
wifey when hubby returned from the

"Why, bo you have,” tesponded Har

"Of course it doesn’t, silly,” smil

YOU CAN GET
POTASH
FOR FERTILIZING
Potash, for fertilizing, is scarcer than hen’s teeth.
No use to look to Germany, the normal source of sup
ply, for Potash can’t be gotten from there now.
But you can get Potash right here at home, in fer
tilizer which contains as a source of its ammonia
COTTON SEED MEAL
Every pound of Cotton Seed Meal, in addition to supplying
from ~i', to 8 V of Ammonia, also contain 2j' i of Phosphoric
Acid and an average of 2',7> of Potash.
When your fertilizer contains Cotton Seed Meal, it not only
supplies your soil with the desired amount of ammonia, but
also gives to it Potash in the most desirable form and in an
amount larger than can be obtained from any other source of
ammonia. In addition it furnishes over 2‘; of Phosphoric Acid,
another most important and valuable element of plant food,
which fact is not generally appreciated.
The fact must not be lost sight of that in using Cotton Seed
Meal you have a fertilizer which feeds the growing plant grad
ually during its entire growth and leaves in the soil a most
valuable humus with which to sustain succeeding crops.
A demonstration recently conducted at the State College
of Agriculture, extending over two years, proved that the best
production per acre was made through the use of Cotton Seed
Meal as a source of ammonia.
When your fertilizer is based upon Cotton Seed Meal, it
contains all that the other sources of ammonia have, and in
addition, Potash, which the other sources have not.
