duetion of 1907.
There are farm values
based on prices paid the pro¬
ducer, and the increase has
come despite the fact that
cotton and hay, the second
and third crops in importance,
measured by aggregate value,
have experienced a heavy
slump in price as compared
with the prices prevalent a
year ago.
For the past ten years the
aggregate value of the agri¬
cultural products of the Uni¬
ted States has been springing
forward by great leaps, ad¬
ding hundreds of millions
yearly to the national wealth.
/ The panic came upon the
heels of the greatest year of
agricultural production the
country has ever known, and
upon the threshold of a year
that was to lie jet greater.
Contemplation of this fact
makes it the more mysterious
that there could have been
such a period of financial de¬
pression sand witched in be¬
tween two of the fattest years
in all our history, notwith¬
standing the powerful actuat¬
ing cause of agitation and cor¬
porate oppression which was
admittedly one of the chief
factors.
It seems that with such
enormous growth in wealth —
weatlh that is speedly convert¬
ed into cash—panic would
have been impossible i n
spite of the forces which com¬
bined to bring it on.
At least it must give assur¬
ance that the financial disturb
ance which shook the country
a year ago, did not go very
deep down. It was more a
panic that existed in the mine
than in the actual toppling of
intrinsic values; in many in¬
stances values were shaken,
but it was the result of fear,
of an impaired confidence,
ruther than the inflation or the
non-existence of the values
themselves.
N© country that is agricul¬
turally great can long suffer
from panicky conditions.
And the proof lies in the
steady and substantial resump
tion that has followed in all
industrial lines, disproving the
prediction that even worse
! conditions were to come fol
lowing the panic.
Panic is an anomaly in the
midst of plenty; put with
plenty on the increase, con¬
tinued depressions is impossi¬
ble.

It is a conclusion from

Such is the growing record
of the years in a country

where climate and
preclude its visitation.
Agriculturally we are
the head of all the world
ers ; they pay jus, each
them annual tribute.
Causes for panics which
come under sucli conditions

er than natural, and if artifi¬

CENSUS SUPERVISOR
TO BE APPOINT^)
Rich Juicy Plum Soon to Fall in
the Lap of Some Lncky
Applicant.
The appointment of a census
supervisor for the Seventh con
gressional district is a rich, juicy
plum that is going to fall to some
one within a short time, perhaps
about the first of the year. .The
supervisor will have charge of
taking the 1910 census and will
be named by one of the depart
ments at Washington, either the
department of commerce and la
bor or the interior department.
The work is carried on by adi
vison by congressional districts
and a supervisor is selected for
each district, and an enumerator
is selected for each countv - with
his assistants, so it can be seen
^'at a large force of employees
is required to do the work.
There is a large amount of
work to be done and it is there
ments be made some time before
actual work begins in order that
the « enoral supervisor can orga¬
nize his force.
It will be a big job and it will
take thousands of men to coin
plete it.
R. P. Campbell, a well known
young democrat, of Hughes,Mur
ray county, is the only applicant
so far for the position of census
supervisor, a juiev filled|soon. government
job which will be It
is expected that the appoint
ments will be made the first of
the year.—Dalton Argus.
Marked For Death.
“Three years ago I was marked
for death. A grave-yard cough
was tearing my lungs to pieces.
Doctors failed to help me, and
hope had lied, when my husband
got Dr. Ding J s New Discovery,”
says Mrs. A. C- Williams, of Bac,
Ky. . “The first dose helped me
and improvement kept on until
I had gained 58 pounds in weight
and my health was fully restor¬
ed.” This medicine holds the
world’s healing record for coughs
and colds and lung and throat
diseases. It prevents pneumo

FARMERS WILL
00 TO SCHOOL
Prof. Soule Strongly Urges At*
tendance npon Sessions of
Cotton school.
Pieident Andrew M. Soule, of
the State College of Agriculture,
is endeavoring to secure as large
an attendance as possible at the
Cotton School, the Farmers’Con
ference, and the Hoad School, to
be held in Athens in January.
Bresidet Soule has been tireless
in his efforts to aid in the better
education in material matters of
the planters of Georgia and it is
to be hoped that many of Mur¬
ray’s farmers, especially of the
younger class, will be in attend¬
ance at Athens. Anything aimed
at a more successful handling of
the cotion crop and other prob¬
lems of the farmer, and also at
the solution of the good roads
problem, is of interest to our ci
tizens.
The following letter from Pres¬
ident Soule is self-explaining:
Editor Nkws,
Spring Place, Ga.
My Dear Sir:—We hand you
herewith u circtiar describing the
Cotton School, t he Fanner’s Con¬
ference and the Hoad School to
be held in connection with the
State College of Agriculture in
Athens, during the month of
January. Special railroad rates
on the certificate plan have been
secured for this occasion. These
courses offer the farmers of Geor¬
gia an opportunity of obtaining
much information of vital impor¬
tance to them at the lowest pos¬
sible cost, namely, railroad fare,
and board at $1.00 per day while
in Athens.
The 150 farmers who attended
the Cotton School last January
were delighted with the informa¬
tion obtained. It is the purpose
of the College to serve the far
mers in ail parts of the state,
which accounts for the presenta¬
tion of these practical courses at
this time.
Our new Agribultural Hall
will be dedicated during the Far¬
mers’ Conference. Will it not
be possible for you 10 honor us
with your presence during the
Cotton School and the Farmers’
Conference, and will you not
