THE GOLDEN DAY.
fi«txay’d by error, sunk In darknau.
I March in vain for choorlnir light—
A Bolden dawnln* of the morning—
A blemed rift In error’a night.
In vain I aean the ancient lefronda;
In them I nee but empty droama,
And acicnco ahowa no open portaln
Through which may anino the golden beams.
•O, who ahall raise this sombre curtain,
That hides the grand, resplendent day?
Or. who shall hold the holy taper
TO guide mo through the gloomy way?
No smiling seraph, condescending,
Removes the bandage from mlno eyes,
k Revealing to my darken’d vision
The splendor of the sapphire skies.
Ah I death alone can raise the curtain,
The dreary pall of error’s night,
And open wide the ahlnlngportals
Of God's eternal life ana fight.
Beyond the setting sun’s Bad waning
The shadows all shall floe away.
And In the grand, eternal morning
Thero I ahall greet the golden day.

Cotton Crop Will Be Small in 1916
While the cotton-planting of 1916 in
Georgia may consume more acreage
then the plantings of laat year, the re-
anltent crop will not bo much larger, If
any, than that of 1916, according to
Commissioner of Agriculture James D.
Price.
Moreover, he urges that the farmers
of Georgia hold their cotton planting
down this spring, and continue to lay
atresa upon diveraifled farming. A
large cotton crop next fall, believes
Mr. Price, would have disastrous re
sults.
Mr. Price’s opinion that the cotton
crop of Georgia this year will again be
a comparatively small One is based not
holy upon observations he has made
during recent trlpB about the State,
where he finds the farmers fallowing a
diversification program, but is based
also on the number of tone of fertilizer
sold, as Indicated by the tags which
have been Issued by the department dur.
ing the months of January and Feb
ruary, 1916, as compared with sales in
the corresponding period of the two
preceding years.
Although the sales of tho first two
months of 1916 exceed the sales for the
first months of 1916, Mr, Price de
clares that the quality of the fertilizer
la inferior, and will not be eo produc
tive, and gives other reasons to offset
ithe Increase.
Below are the comparative figures
on the sole of fertilizer and cotton seed
meal for tho first two monthB of the
last two years and tho present year.
The figures in each instance repre
sent tho number of tags sold by the
department, each teg representing a
ton of fertilizer or a ton of cotton seed
meal sold in the State of Georgia. The
table follows:
.January and
Fbrrubry

Taos
1914 627,036
1916 164,990
1916 320,110

Mbal Taos

It will be noted that the sale of fer
tilizers In Georgia for the first two
months of 1914 was about four timea
as large as the sale for the first two
monthB of 1916. The reduction of the
cotton acreBgo and production in 1916,
of course, Ib history.
On the other hand, the sale of fer
tilizers in Georgia for tho first two
months of 1916, as indicated by the
figures, amount to approximately twice
as much as in the same period of 1916,
Mr. Pries declares, however, that from
these figures the size of the coming
cotton crop cannot bo figured upon the
Berne basis as the reduction in the 1916
crop. The reason for this is that the
fertiliser now upon the market is of
such inferior quality that Its power of
production Ib greatly under that of the
fertilizer sold in 1916, by reason of the
shortage in potash.
"In 1915,” says Mr. Price, "the fer
tilizer manufacturers had on hand a
stock of potash, which was used in the
1916 fertilizers. Now, however, tho
stock is completely exhausted and it is
next to Impossible to get potash, and
what of it that Ib obtainable is at such
a cost it Is prohibitive as an Ingredient
for fertilizers. Potash which in 1914
eold for $52 per ton is now selling for
$600 per ton. Wo figured potash in
fertilizer at a cost of 75 cents per unit
in 1914; to-day we figure it at $6 per
unit. That Is just the difference. The
increase in fertilizer purchased this
year over last is entirely offset by the
inferior quality of-the fertilizer, and a
great deal of the fertilizer for which
tags have been sold this year has not
yet been distributed among our far
mers.”
Mr. Price explains tho fluctuation in
the sales of cotton seed meal by the
fact that the bumper cotton crop of 1914
J ieldcd more seed to be made into meal
or sale in 1915, while the small crop of
1916 gave less seed for 1916. Besides
this, he says many cotton seed by-pro-
dneta are being exported this year, and
for such shipments the department
issues no tags.
Buffered From Stomach Trouble and
Catarrh for Five or Six Tears.
Mrs. John O’Connor, who lives at
3338 Oldham street, Knoxville, Tenn.,
called up the Kuhlman-ChembliBs Drug
Co. recently end eeld she wanted to
speak to the "Teniae” man. When
Mr. Willie answered the telephone,
Mre. O’Connor made the following re
markable statement:
“I just wanted you to know, and
everybody else to know, what that
Tanlac medicine haB done for me.
Why, I have gained eight pounds at.
ready, and have only been taking it for
ten dBys. I have just finished taking
the first bottle, end heye sent Mr.
O’Connor back to the store this morn-
Ing for another bottle. This’’ Tanlac
certainly does juat what you say it will
do. I began to eet better, sleep bet
ter and feel better from the very first
dose, and the change in my condition
has just been wonderful. I had a good
doctor before I began UBing Tanlac,
but he didn’t seem to understand my
case, and his medicine did not seem to
do me any good, eo 1 just set it aside
and quit using it.
“For the past five or six years 1
have been in a run-down condition-
nervous, weak, and at times very dizzy.
I had nervous headache and indigestion
perfectly awful. My stomach was so
weak 1 couldn’t digest the lightest
kind of food. I wae nervous and de
pressed and slept very little. I had
become eo despondent over my condi
tion I thought nothing could help me.
It certainly was lucky for me when I
heard of Tanlac. It is not like any
other medicine I have tried—it BeemB
to soothe my stomach, and is a fine
tonic, too, because my appetite is good
now, and I digest what 1 eat. If any
one had told me there was a medicine
on earth that would make me gain
eight pounds in ten days, I would have
thought them crazy.
I don’t believe there is another
medicine on earth like Tanlac. My
catarrh is also a great deal better. In
fact, I hardly notice it any more,”
Tanlac, the wonderful medicine that
has accomplished such remarkable re
sults in Mrs. O'Connor’s case, is sold

many people think the editor Bhould

thing better calculated to turn rosy
youth to doddering old age than, for in

well, we’d like to know what it is.
Maybe you think it pleasant to walk
down the street and hear some grinning
idiot with a head like a German pan
cake end a brain like an addled egg ho Id-

Maybe you think it nice to hear eome
member of the vacuum family remark
that the editor must make up his paper
with a shovel. Or some Pinhead Percy
wondor why the editor doesn't learn

it excruciatingly delicious when an item

The Empty Letter-Box.
People's Homo Jourmsl.
On a certain morning every week, in
thousands of homes, mother says,
“Hurry off to the postoffice, father!
Thie Ib letter day.’’ And father doesn't
need to be told twice—he goes.
Bat, oh, the father and mother\o
whom the letter does not come! W<
hove seen ther faces, too. N-no, they
don’t expect a letter at all, but father
goes regularly to the poBtoffice, and
mother watches from the door, think
ing possibly, juat possibly, they might
hear from some of the children this
week, but she haa waited a long time
now, and no letter comes. Ah, the un
speakable pathos of the empty letter
box! When the children were all at
home that box wae usually pretty well
filled, but now—
Well, father comes through the gate,
but there is no waving arm. He just
shakes his head, and walks across the
lot and tinkers with the fence awhile
before going into the house.
In how many homes, after the morn
ing chores are done, does father go to
the poBtoffice, work his way up the
steps, open the door, look along the
rows until he comes to a certain box,
and turn away empty-handed! But
wait, wait—it might be wedged in at
(he back! He takes a second look, to
be sure. But there’s nothing there!
And the son and daughter, what does
it mean to them—the weekly letter to
father and mother?
Can a man Bit down and write home,
beginning, “Deer little mother,” and
ending. “Your loving eon,” and not be
a better man for it? Must he not be
stronger for life’s stress and storm?
Will not the rush of affection which in
spires the tender message sweep his
heart and soul clean of evil?
He knows juBt what will happen back
in the old home that night. Father and
mother will have their family prayers
in the bed-room off the sitting-room,
and after they ariae from their knees
mother will turn up the light a little,
and read that letter ijuet once more
before she goes to bed—juat once mor.e!
We have seen mothers do that. Can a
man go very far wrong with this picture
before him?
The weekly letter back home means
thrilling joy to father and mother, but
the one who writes, too, has his re-:
ward. , |
May the loving messages keep flying
toward the old home town, for break
fast is over, and father is on his way
to the postoffice. God grant he may
not find the box empty!

At a certain banquet held in Chicago
a young attorney was very desirous of
getting the seat next to the Senator,
who was the principal speaker of the
evening. Calling the waiter, he slipped
llfm a half-dollar and told him of hia
desire. Rut upon sitting down he found
to his utter chagrin that he was at one
end of the table and the Senator at the
other.
When the waiter came around again
he, demanded to know why he was seat

One of the scarcest commodities now
is muriate of potash, used in commer
cial fertilizers. In former years fruit
growers paid forty dollars a ton for it,
but cannot buy it now for less than five
hundred dollars per ton. This enor
mous advance in price makes its use
forbidding. There are many products
which have been freely used in Amer
ica in other years which are almost un
obtainable. One of these is bleaching
powder, used in the manufacture of
paper. It formerly sold for $1.25 per
hundred pounds; the present price is
$18 per hundred, and cannot be had at
that. Aniline colors formerly sold at
forty cents a pound, and now sell at
per pound. These colors are used
in the manufacture of paper. Similar
advances have been made in the price
of raw materials going into the manu
facture of paper, which accounts for
the great advance in the price of the
finished product. Printing paper that
formerly sold at four cents per pound,
now sells for seven cents per pound,
and no contracts can be made for it
even at that price.—Christian Index.
