HOLTZCLAW’S DRUGSTORE, Perry, Ga,
Mr. W. D. Bridges, of Palding
county, winner of first prize at
the late wheat coovention in Ma
con, is a firm believer in the effi
cacy of thorongh and intelligent
work at every ' point. Of his own
efforts, etc. he says:
“The acreage that I raised
my sixty-five bushels per acre on
will again be planted in wheat
this fall and has on it as fine a
crop of peas as ever grew out of
ground. I am more than delighted
with my success with wheat this
year, and even had I been unsuc
cessful in gaining the prize,
would not have effected my efforts
to have the best wheat possible
next year, when I would again
have tried to gain over my broth
er farmers. The V/heat Growers
Association is a body that will he
of great benefit to Georgia, and
the able assistance given them by
the Macon Telegraph, which is do
ing more good than it really knows
of, will one day awake to the fact
that they have accomplished their
purpose and the farmers are rais
ing their own breadstuffs and can
no longer he taunted with the fact
that the West is our crib and
smokehouse.”
It has been said by some,”
continued Mr. Bridges, that any
one could accomplish as much as I
did in growing sixty-five bushels
to the acre if they only put the
manure on it that I did. I par
tially agree with them and don’t
see why they can’t have it to put
on, though I must confess that I
think that the paethod of prepar
ing the land and time of planting
have something to do with it. My
manure practically cost me noth
ing save the expense of handling
it and distributing it on the land
I feed about 500 head of caitle on
an average, from October until
May, and the droppings from these
are my most valuable fertilizers.
I feed them on cotton seed meal
and hulls, which I consider pro
duces the very finest manure
known. As I charge in the cost
of feeding when I sell the live
stock I do not consider my manure
an expense, but as a profit that I-
use to a still further profit.
“I believe in the use of improv-
ee machinery as the quickest and
best method of cultivation and
harvesting. I have taken up all
of the stumps in my grain fields
and find that itfwas inexpensive
as compared to the benefits. With
two negroes -I can remove from
fifty to sixty stumps per day, and
if I hadn’t been able to have cut
my wheat crop with a binder I
could not have saved it as I did.”
Proclamation to Farmers.
If I Were You, My Boy.
I would learn to be polite to ev
erybody. I wouldn’t let any other
boy get ahead of me in my stud
ies. I would not make ' fun of
children who are not well dressed.
I wouldn’t go in the company of
bad boys who use bad language,
wouldn’t get suiky and pout when
ever I couldn’t have my own way.
I would see if I could get people
to like me by being civil to every
body. I would keep my hands and
face clean and hair brushed with
out being told to do so. I would
try to see the little things that I
could do to help my mother, and
do them without being' asked. I
wouldn’t conclude that I knew
more than my father before I had
been more than .sixty miles away
from home.—Exchange.

Cotton Growers’ Association.
In view of the fact that the cot
ton season will soon lie upon us,
and many counties in the state
not having yet perfected sub-
ffiranches of the State Association
by reason of my utter inability
to make a complete personal can
vass of the state, and properly at
tend to other important duties de
volving upon my official position,
I have deemed it best to issue this
general call for a meeting to he
held in all the counties , at their
respective county sites on the first
Tuesday in September for the pur
pose of perfecting sub-organiza
tion without further, delay. To
that end, I hereby call upon the
farmers, bankers, merchants, gin-
Uers, warehousemen, : and other
trades and professions in those
counties not yet organized, to
meet at their respective county
seats on the first Tuesday in Sep
tember next, at 10 o’clock a. m
at which time the election of coun
ty officers can he had, and the
names of mempers joining the As
sociation enrolled. The main ob
jects and purposes of the Cotton
Growers Protective Association
are generally known to our people
through its wide and general dis
cussion throughout the country
during the past three -months,
will, however, furnish to every
county literature fully, explaining
the movement, and what we seek
to accomplish by organization
If-the cotton growers of the coun
try will combine in a determined
effort to control prides this sea
son, we can easily secure ten cents
per pound for our staple. If past
methods are employed in the sale
of the crop, prices will drop to “
and may go lower. The Associa
tion will throw around all mem
bers every protection possible in
the sale of his crop. Under exist
ing conditions, there can be
question of controling prices this
season by united concert of action
in marketing the crop With an in
telligent idea of the trap situation
There is now a determined effort
on the part of the speculators and
spinners to depress prices at the
opening of the season to ' seven
cents per pound. The world is
short of raw cotton, and there is
none in sight except that'whibh is
growing in the fields. The pres
ent crop will not yield more than
ten million bales, which will not
be sufficient to supply the demand
for American cotton during the
next twelve months. Let us com
bine and hold hack a portion of
the crop, marketing slowly, and
we can command ten cents per
pound for our staple. All of the
cotton states are actively agitating
this movement, and many of them
will he fullyorganized by the mid
dle of September. We have the
opportunity presented, and I call
upon our people to come actively
together on the day fixed as above
indicated, and determine to secure
a fair profit on the products of
their labor. % The Georgia State
Agricultural Society in conven
tion at Dublin on the 9th inst,
unanimously endorsed this call
for organization to secure higher
prices for our cotton, and pledged
their individual and collective
support in behalf of the movement
on September 4th. The Bankers
of the state have guaranteed their
willingness and ability to advance
three fourths the value of all cot
ton held in storage. Alabama
has organized, South Corolina will'
organize, on the 6th of September.
All the other cotton states are agi
tating the movement, and we can
whip the fight this, season, saving
to the farmers of Georgia alone
more than fifteen million dollars,
which they will lose if the crop is
forced on the market and sacrific
ed at seven cents per pound.

the work needs doing,and yon can

A Flood of .Immigration.
Atlanta Journal.
The immigration record for 1883
issed all precedents and it was
supposed that it would never be
equalled, as about that time we be
gan to throw closer restrictions
about the admission of immigrants.
Though we have carried legisla
tion of this character far beyond the
provisions which were in force in'
1883, the official reports show that-
the immigration record of that year
was equalled by the 12 months end
ed June 30, 1900.
More than half a million immigrants
came into the United States during
that period. The port of New York , Q-nrymYTO
alone received 341,000. About one-1 GU1\ o,
third of this number, or about 99,-
000, were Italians, 40,000 of whom
could not read or write. Included
among the new-comers were Ger
mans, English, Irish, French, Scan
dinavians, Poles, Magyars, Finns,
Bohemians, Hebrews, Croatians,
Slavs, Armenians and a half dozen
other nationalities.
