Danger Period Through Which
Every Woman Must Pass.
Owing to modem methods of living, not one woman in a thousand
bproaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train
f very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. At this period a
roman indicates a tendency towards obesity or tumorous growths.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart
atil it seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, some-
mes with chills, as if the heart were going to stop forever, are only a
k of the symptoms of a dangerous nervous trouble. The nerves are
king out for assistance. The cry should be heeded in time. Lydia
i Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was prepared to meet the needs
T woman’s system at this trying period of her life, and all women who
Be it pass through this trying period with comfort and safety.

“ Dear Mbs. Pinkham : — I have
worked hard all my life, and when the
Change of Life came I flowed very
badly for weeks at a time. I would
stop for a day or two, then start
again. I went to see a doctor and

spent two hundred dollars for medi

get the relief I expected.
“ At that time I saw Lydia E.

advertised and began its use. I have
found it to be just what I needed.

•TCS E? Taken to Lumpkin for Trial.! 3 JjTE
Matthew McDonald, wh6 was Con
victed of robbing the postoffice at
Weir, in Lumpkin county, a little over
a year ago, finished serving out his
sentence of two years in the United
States prison last Tuesday and was de
livered over to Sheriff Davis, of Lump
kin county, on a state warrant charging
him with burglary. He was taken
back to Dahlonega yesterday to await
trial in the superior court of the North
eastern circuit on a charge- of robbing
the store of Postmaster Bennett at
Weir on the night of the postoffice rob
bery.
Mr. R. L. Davenport Dead.
a
Mr. R. L. Davenport died at the home
of his mother on Oak street Friday
afternoon of consumption after an ill
ness of several weeks. He was 32
years of age and was well liked by
those who knew him. The funeral was
conducted by Dr. J. A. Wynne Satur
day afternoon and the remains were
interred at Alta Vista cemetery.
Mr. C. M. McPhail Dies Here.
Mr. C. M. McPhail, who traveled for
an Atlanta coffin house, died here at
6 o’clock Monday afternoon of paraly
sis at the Mountain View hotel. He
had been here for two weeks, during
which time he suffered considerably.
He was a K. of P., and the lodge here
gave him all the attention necessary,
and appointed Messrs Will Pillow and
Walter Wilson to escort his remains to
his late home at Greenville, S. C.,
where they were shipped yesterday
morning.
There are in Georgia 1,181,294 white
people. Georgia has 100,264 illiterate
whites. The state of Iowa, with almost
the identical white population that
Georgia has of both blacks and white,
viz., 2,231,853, has only 37,953 illiter
ates in her total population. With 1,000,
000 less whites our white illiterates are
three times as great.
“One hundred and sixty years ago,”
remarked Governor Terrell at the Geor
gia banquet, “the Georgia colonists
erected on Tybee island a beacon 90

is not so much phosphate In the bones
of a young animal as those of an old
one. Even in the same animal, the
hard thigh bones of an ox, for in
stance, will contain more phosphate
of lime than softer bones from other
parts of the animal. Bones to be of
value should of course be ground, and
the finer the grinding the better. A
coarsely crushed or ground raw bone,
which has not been treated to remove
any of its original fatty matter, will
decay with comparative slowness In
the soil, and consequently but little
effect might be perceived from its
application the first season.
A good raw bone will contain on an
average 22 per cent, phosphoric acid
and 4 per cent, of nitrogen. Such a
bone is quite difficult to grind fine,
and on its fineness depend® in large
measure its value as a fertilizer. But
by boiling and steaming, much of the
fat is removed, which has no value as
a manure; some of the nitrogen is
also removed in the form of glue and
gelatine by the boiling and steaming
process. This treatment however en
ables the bone to be ground much
finer than the raw bone, and where the
process has been carried out very
thoroughly, as in the manufacture of
glue, the resulting ground bone may
contain as high as 30 per cent, of
phosphoric acid, but the nitrogen in
this case will be reduced to less than
2 per cent. Actual experiments have
shown that all the phosphoric acid
from a finely ground steamed hope
may become available in one to two
seasons in the soil, while that from a
coarse ground raw bone would not be
come fully available in three or four
seasons.
The Mineral or Rock Phosphates.
If bones were the only source of
phosphoric acid, modern agriculture
would be In a distressing condition,
since bones could supply only a very
small part of the demand. The prices
of fertilizers would be very much
higher than they now are; the cotton
crop of the South and the grain crops
of the world would be very much
smaller, and the population of the
earth very much less than it now is.
So true is it that life itself as counted
by generations rises and falls in great-
er or smaller volume, in unison with
the available supply of plant food in
the soil. A very large proportion of
the dense population and increased
wealth of the Old World is doubtless
due to the discovery of the mineral
phosphates. Deposits of these in
greater or less quantity have been
known for a long time in the Old
World, but I shall mention only those
fields in this country which are of
great commercial importance today.
The first of these in point of discov
ery and development were the South
Carolina phosphate beds. These beds
land and in the rivers in tfiat vicin
ity. Thi3 phosphate is found usually
in the form of lumps or nodules, va
rying from the size of a- pebble to
quite large masses. The deposits
vary from one or two feet to twelve
or more in thickness. This rock con
tains no nitrogenous organic matter
like bone, but is simply a rock phos
phate. It is true, however, that among
the deposits are found many evidences
of life, such as Immense vertebrae of
animals, and large teeth of shark,
marine and other animals. The South
Carolina rock contains from 26 to 28
per cent, of phosphoric acid. It Is
highly esteemed both at home and
abroad as a source of phosphoric acid;
actual mining began there In 1868.
Florida Phosphates.
The next great discovery of phos
phate rock in this country occurred
in. Florida in 1888 and ’89. There are
different forms of this phosphate;
first, we have the land or boulder
phosphate, which occurs in rocky or
stony masses of varying size and
form, and varying from 30 to 40 per.
cent, of phosphoric acid; second, the
"soft" phosphate, a white powdery ma
terial, mixed with more or less kaolin
and containing from 18 to 30 per cent,
phosphoric acid; thirdly, we have the
"pebble" form consisting of small, hard
rounded pebbles, which occur both
in the beds of the rivers, and in de-
posits on the land. They are varia
ble in composition, but range from
about 30 to 36 per cent, of phosphoric
acid. The Florida rock constitutes A
very important source of phosphoric
acid, is highly esteemed, and is used
largely both at home and abroad.
Tennessee Phosphate.
Shortly after the discovery of phos
phate rock in Florida, discoveries be
gan to be made in Tennessee in the vi
cinity of Nashville, and later still im
portant deposits began to be found
in Maury county, Tenn., near Mt.
Pleasant. This rock, like the others.
Is variable in form and composition,
but the marketable varieties range
from 30 to 37 per cent, of phosphoric
acid. There are other important phoS.
phatlc deposits in the world, but those
Just described constitute the import
ant ones for southern agriculture.
Having mentioned the chief sources
of nitrogen and phosphoric acid, we
will take a bird’s-eye view of the
source of potash.
