The world may pretty much be ] This is the season of the year divided into producers and parasites j when to bring home a bit of the —working bees and drones, says the • fields and woodlands is to do a more Richmond News. Every man who welcome service to the household follows h legitimate calling, wh& makes or brings into being good and useful things, who furnishes the necessities of life, supplies commod ities or renders service to the citizen or the community, is a producer. The agriculturist reclaims the soil from weeds or overgrowth or marsh, makeB it fertile, sows seed or plants, fruit-bearing shrubs or trees, is counted among the first of produc ers, although he creates nothing, only utilizes and turns to the ac count of his fellow-beings the gifts and processes of nature. The manufacturer or the farmer by his intelligence and industry makeB up the raw material into shapes and forms that supply the wants of the human family and con tributes to the welfare and happi ness of the human family.. He has produced beneficial results. And the merchant who finds good things where they are abundant and wast ing, aud transports to where they are soarce and wanting, is a pro ducer. One who brings forth, who pro duces valuable and desirable things in the place where they are wanted is a producer, whether he produces them out of the air, out of i'aw ma terials or from a foreign land. And just so, when a merohant who (like Joseph in Egypt) stores up things when they are abundant and cheap and brings them forth for use when they are scarce, is a producer. The transporter and storer are alike pub lic servants. In the same way all persons in le gitimate business, retailers as well as wholesalers, masters, clerks, por ters, commission merchants, dealers in material or immaterial things, publio officers and common laborers, are all producers as they help to supply neoeBsjjbies and provide for wantB, as they promote comfort, re lieve suffering, guard against dan ger and help the special or general good—all are producers. The doc tor produces health and soundness; the lawyer establishes right and de fends justice and helps to make quiet and nssuranoe and satisfactory dealings; the professor and teacher and student discover and diffuse light and truth, and, above all, the ministers of God, as they radiate, reflect or distribute divine truth. From the humblest workman that makes a horseshoe or trims a post, to the philosopher or historian that enlarges the soul of man, all work ingmen in legitimate business are producers. And all these make the busy beeB and worthy citizens. They are all members one of another, making up the full body of oivilized society, and the produotB of a 1 make up the* commonwealth. The drones of society are of an other sort. They produce nothing.. They only consume. They live up- m others, and their industry is only reap what others have sown. t) They are camp followers, to gather from the battlefield, to rob the weak, to filch from the unwary, to live by their wits and accumulate what others produce. Their for tunes are wealth gotton by variety. Their money is soulless, and can buy nothing for. its proprietors,, be- •vihse their honorable and natural cravings h^ve all.failed. •So are the ways of him that is tweedy of gain, that taketh away the > fe of the owners thereof. The Atlanta merchants, in whose behalf a campaign was started against the “mail order” business, are to start on a junketing tour of Georgia oities in behalf of trade. Djwn in this end of the state the I'oople believe in patronizing the J. - ne merchants, because the home i .ait-chants guarantee prices against . si'iy foreigh dealers.—'Valdosta Times Slops the Cough and Work's of£ the Cold.

Earlier in the year, much of the brightness of the outside world creeps into the house almost una ware, and the adorning of the rooms with flowers means only the addi tion of one or more superatively ra diant pigments to a palate already aglow^vith color. But in" the autumu it is quite differ ent. Shortly after October makes its bow to the world the days begin togrow gray ossasionally.an deven on the clearest days the sun is a little less impressivedn its brightness than in May and June, and so all the col ors without the walls that can be brought within to help paint in fresher tints the letters spelling the magic words of home should be carefully gathered aud preserved. First in the range of ohoioe oomes the goldenrod, for it is like the con centrated essence of sunshine. Then follow branches of our own Georgia pine, fresh and spioy with the mar velously healing fragrance of the southern woods. There are sweet grasses also, but offering the great est color contrasts of all are the au tumn leaves. Here is a fairy tale of their annual metamorphosis as told by the scientists. A leaf is composed of a great number of cells, the walls of whioh are brown. In the spring and sum mer these oells are all filled with fluid, colored with minute grains of red, yellow and other pigments, which, when mixed together, appear green. In the autumn, through the eold, oxidation and other changes take place in the leaf-oells, destroy ing more or less rapidly certain of the eolor elements. As soon as one of these elements is gone the leaf no longer appears a normal green, but assumes the shade of the remainder of the color-elements mixed togeth er. When only the red element < left the leaf is red; when the yell p alone remains the leaf is yellow, n ’ when all the coloring matter .. .. gone the leaf is brown. But what care we how the work is accomplished by Jack Frost and kindred artists? It is enough that the leaves are here, and that at our will, through their beneficent magie, we may transform the dullest room into a glorious arbor as varied in harmonious colors as any frost-kiss ed glade of a forest alive with rust ling, fluttering, flying autumn leaves. Warns His Party Too Late. Mr. Eugene N. Foss, republican candidate for congress in a Massa chusetts district, is a manufacturer who sees that the Dingley tariff is too unjust to be maintained and who is not afraid to speak his mihd in opposition to the machine leaders of his party. . “I tell you,* said Mr. Foss iu a recent speech at Jamaica Plain, “if we republicans do not take the mat ter in hand and adjust our tariff to prevent inequalities and abuses, we shall not have the opportunity. The people will take the chance from us and give it to a free-trader, as they did when Cleveland was elected.” While there is no remotest dan ger of the people turning to abso lute free trade in their oppositisn to the maintenance of the Dingley tar iff, there, is a reasonable certainty that they will place in power the democratic party, a party which stands for tariff reform on the basis 6f a tariff for revenue only. Mr Foss is right in declaring that the people will take the chance of tariff revision from the republican party. That party has now definite ly refused to even consider the ad visability of revising the tariff. It has announced that it proposes to hold the Dingley schedules invio late. Mr. Foss-issues his warning too late to be of benefit to his party. -St. Louis Republic. « : /■ America’s Famous Beauties Look with liorforon Skin Erup tions, Blotches, Sores, Pimples.

There has never been a time in 1 the history of Georgia and the south j in general when the outlook was so : promising for poultry raisers. Per- 1 sonally we have never known mar- j ket poultry to command the prices ■ thaf have prevailed in this section throughout the spring and summer, and these prices have influenced many of our farmers to sell as broil ers the pullets that should have been kept for egg-basket and incubator purposes. In consequence, eggs will be unusually scarce arid high-priced this fall, while the demand for them will be greater than ever before. The incubator fever has assumed almost epidemic form, and many thousands of good fresh aggs will be required for this purpose alone. The entire country seems to have awakened to the importance of this industry; and why not? This is a grand business; and is open alike to all classes of people—in every walk of life, and in every section of the country. The business man whose office du ties do not require his services eith er very late or .very early can find healthful exercise (and plenty of it) andjmtold enjoyment in the eare of a few fowls. The growing boys enjoy these feathered friends, and if entrusted with their care are often won from loafing, careless habits, to those of industry and thrift. While the woman thrown upon her own resources can find in this field a work worthy of her, and to whioh she can devote time and tal ent and be reasonably sure that pa- tienoe aud perseverance will be re warded. Drive It Home. Some men think by making a great stir for a little time they gain a permanent advantage. This is far from the truth. How quickly a thing is forgotten if it is net con tinuously advertisedl It is said the triHic have bad memories, but per- .. vs they crowd too much into l- n. One event usurps another in ..^rtancc, and the panorama of daily incidents diverts the mind from ceaseless concentration on one particular thing. Day by day the happepings increase in number and importance, and the publio mind is ever being conducted to a new ehannel of thought and considera tion. The necessity for continuous advertising was never more pro nounced than at the present time. A passing flash causes but a mo ment's reflection. Permanet drive- it-home advertising makes an im pression that lasts.—The Travelling Partner. The Rev. Dr. Ohas. H. Parkhuret has just returned to New York from a vaoation in Europe. Talking to a newspaper reporter on the day of his arrival on the subject) of trusts, Dr. Pnfkhurst said: “If the oppres sion of the masses continues the day is bound to come when the people will resort to desperate means. They will go back to the old, crude meth od of demanding their rights. I mean revolution.” Dr. Parkhurst had been on the ocean for a week and had evidently not seen the re ported interview of Gov. Candler of Georgia on the trust question. To the Georgian is due the credit of first serving notioe to the trusts and the republican party that revolution and bloodshed, might be look.ed for if the trusts continued to oppress the people. 1 —Savannah News. :————-— A childless home is a cheerless home. The maternal instinct exists in every woman, and when it is un gratified she is deprived of much of, the happiness of life. It often hap pens that childlessness is due to some cause that can be removed, and often is removed by the "use of Dr. Pjerce’s Favorite Prescription. The vigor and vitality which this remedy imparts to the delicate wo manly organs puts them in a condi tion of normal health, the lack of which is often the sole obstruction to maternity.
