THE HOME JOURNAL,
PERKY, OA.
Southern Cultivator.
Every successful man works by
some plan. Very often his plan may
not be very definite to others, but in
his own mind he haB one,
Formers have, as a rule, less busi
ness system in their work than other
classes of men. We have been train
ed to go along happy-go-lucky. The
result is that very often we miss and
then we are neither happy or lucky.
We have missed both because we did
not aim definitely at either.
Every farmer should have his plan
or system and work by it, A poor
plan well followed is better than a
good plan poorly followed. And ei
ther is infinitely better than no plan.
Keep accounts with every crop and
Bee which pay and which do not pay.
The all*cotton oraze which well-
nigh bankrupted the south would
have been impossible if we had kept
our business in business shape. We
would have learned long ago that
cotton cost about seven cents to
raise and market. That, 1 with pro
visions all bought on time, at time
prioes, the cost was generally near
nine cents. Wten cotton sold be
low these figures there was ft loss.
There was no room for profit unless
it sold above these. We would have
seen this so plainly that we would
have planted less cotton and got
better prices.
Again, if we had kept books and
balanced accounts we would have
learned long ago that tho cost of
growing cotton oould hot be reduc
ed as long as it took three acres to
make one bale; that the only hope
was in making each acre produce
more. This would of itself have cut
down the acreage planted. No acre
of cotton pays that does not yield
about half a bale of lint.
Again, if we had kept accounts
we would have learned that as the
negroes could and did live on less
than the whites, they could grow
cotton for less. This they did do
and this they are still doing, and
they are producing so much cheap
ootton that they oan and do keep
the market down.
While men must grow more cot
ton on an acre or quit growing cot
ton.
As tyng as the negro laborer can
live contentedly in a ten*dollar house
with five dollurs worth of furniture
and two and a half dollars’ worth of
notions, he has the practical monop
oly of cotton growing.
The reason is plain, The white
man furnishes the land, stock and
rations, all the expensive part of the
business. The negro furnishes a few
months of desultory labor.
Systematized bookkeeping would
have emphasized those and other
points, and as a result we would
have been seeking for and finding
other and more profitable crops. The
rule holds good that the crops which
pay best are those whioh require
more intelligence to produce them.
Hence the great necessity of better
education for the farmer.
We urge you to conduct your
farm on business principles. If a
merchant finds that he cannot sell a
certain line of gopde without a loss
he quits selling that line. If the
railroad finds that hauling certain
freights at a given price does not
pay, at once the price is advanced.
So the farmer, finding that any par
ticular crop does not pay him,should
at once quit raising that crop. Or if
he finds that he has been selling oer
tain things at a loss he will at once
raise the price.
We have gone into this idea lor
this reason: There iB every indica
tion at present that we are prepar
ing to plant too much cotton for
1903.
At presen t'prices there is much
more in cattle, hogs, chickens, hay,
corn, Bugar cane, \yheat and almost
anything than in ootton.
If we go blindly into buying large
quantities of fertilizers and plant an
extra large area in cotton, the result
will be five or six cents catton next
fall. What does that mean? It
means loss to nearly every farmer
in the cotton growing business. It
means trouble and debt and worry.
It means prosperity and profit and
peace and plenty to those who do
not plant cotton.
Calculate before you plant for 1903.
Atlanta, Jan. 26.—Gov. Terrell en
tered into an important and interest-,,
ing contract to-day with John W.
Hay good and B. B. Cheney of Ir
win county and Elbridge Cutts of
Wilcox county, three attorneys, who
propose to file suits in the name of
the state to recover possession of
about seventy five lots of land in
counties in the southern pert of the
state which were set apart by the
legislature nearly 100 years ago for
educational purposes. Iu 1818 the
legislature passed an act setting
apart lotB Nos. t 10 and 100 in every
surveyor district “for the education
of the poor children.” Few of these
lots were ever used for this purpose
and in the meantime squatters have
taken them up and passed them N on
from generation to generation. In
many instances they have been sold,
and in seneral instances by the shfcr-
ift’for taxes. Now Gov. Terrell pro
poses to recover all of this property,
that is possible of recovery, and to
use it for the purpose for which the
legislature intended it. The seven
ty-five lots in question are located in
Appling, Baker, Berrien, Coffee, Col
quitt, Decatur, Early, Echols, Irwin,
Miller, Mitchell, Pierce, Thomas,
Ware und Worth counties, and are
numbered 10 and 100, under the old
system in the surveyors’ districts in
which they are located. Under the
contract signed by Gov. Terrell to
day, the attorneys are to assist the
attorney general in fighting and
conducting .the litigation and they
are to receive 25 per cent of the
amount recovered, the state to be
put to no expense except oourt costs.
Gov. Terrell estimates that he will
be able to secure about $30,000
from this source for the Bchool fund.
During his administration as attor
ney general he recovered two of
these lots and they were- sold for
$500 each.

Two clergymen took possession of
the Amen corner at the Fifth Ave
nue Hotel during the absence of the
politicians at Albany and fell to re
lating anecdotes of the cloth.
‘fBishop Coleman of Delaware has
some odd experiences in the course
of his annual outings,” said one.
“You know e\ory summer he donp
old clothes and tramps through the
mountains of West Virginia.
“One day last summer, covered
with dust and appearing like a ven
erable tramp, the bishop entered an
inn where several mountaineers were
drawn up at the bar.
“ ‘Como, join us,’ c^led out one of
the men, hospitably.
“ ‘No, thank you,’ said the bishop,
courteously. 'The fact is I do not
drink.*
“ ‘Do you eat hay?’ retorted the
West Virginian, nettled at the bish
op’s refusal.
“ 'No," was the bland reply.
“ ‘Then, I say,’ drawled the moun
taineer, looking to the others to see
the effect of his witticism, ‘then I
say you are not fit company for man
or beaBt.”
“It is the little rift within the lute
which, ever widening, makes the mu
sic mute.” It is just a little rift in
the health of woman, often, which
gradually takes the spring from her
step, the light from her eys, the rose
from her cheek and the music from
her voice. Perhaps the bug-bear
which has frightened the woman
from the timely help needed at the
beginning has been the dreaded
questions, the obnoxious examina
tion, the local treatments, of the
home physician. There is no need
for these. Nor is there need for con
tinued suffering. Dr. Pierce’s Fa
vorite Prescription can be relied on
by every woman,suffering from what
are called “female troubles,” to re
new the health and cure the disease.
Women are astonished at the results
of the use of this medicine. It not
only makes weak women “robust and
rosy cheeked,’’but it gives them back
the vigor and vitality of youth.

mon Sense Medical Adviser, 1008
