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. Prevented A Tragedy. Timely information given Mrs. George Long, of New Straitsville, Ohio, saved two lives. A fright ful cough had long kept her awake every night. She had tried many remedies and doctors but steadily grew worse until urged to try Dr King’s New Discovery. One bot tle wholly cured her; and she writes, this marvelous medicine also cured Mr. Long of a severe at tack of Pneumonia. Such cures are positive proof of its power to cure all thorat,chest and lung trou bles. Only 50c and $1.00.' Guar anteed. Trial bottles free at Holtzclaw’s drug store. 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.

No one has a right to ex pect from society more than a fair compensation for the ser vice which he renders to society. If he secures more it is at the ex pense of some one-else. It is no injustice to him to prevent his do ing injustice [to another, him who would, either through class legislation.or in the absence of necessary legislation, trespass upon the rights of another, the Democratic party says “Thou shalt not.” Against us are arrayed a com paratively small but politically and financially powerful number who really profit by Republican poiitics, but with them are associ ated a large number who, because of their of their party name, are giving their support to doctrines antagonistic to the former teach=. ings of their own party. Republicans who used to advo cate bimetalism now try to con vince themselves that the gold standard is good; Republicans who were formerly attached to the greenback are now seeking an excuse for giving national banks control of the nation’s paper mon ey ; Repubicans who used to boast that the Republican party was paying off the national debt are now looking for reasons to sup port a perpetual and increasing debt; Republicans who formerly abhorred a trust, now beguile themselves with the delusion that there are good trusts and bad trusts, while in their their minds the line between the two is becom ing more and more obscure ; Repub licans who in times past congratu lated tb€ country upon the small expense of our standing army are now making light of the objec tions which are urged against a large increase in the permanent military establishment; Republi cans who gloried in our indepen deuce when the nation was less powerful now look with favor up on a foreign allegiance ; Republi cans who three years ago con demned “forcible annexation” as' immoral and even criminal are w.

Don’t be a grumbler. Some people contrive to get hold of the prickly side of everything, to run against all the sharp corners and find out all the disagreeable things. Half the strength spent in growling would often get things right. You may as well make up your mind, to begin with, that no one ever found the world quite as he would have it, hut you are to take your share of the troubles and bear them bravely. You will be very sure to have burdens laid upon you that belong to other people unless yon are a shirk yourself; but don’t grumble. If the work needs doing,and yon can do it, never mind about the other person who ought to have done it and didn’t.

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.
