“Pitts’ Carminative
Saved My Baby's Ufom"
Johnson Station, Ga., September 16, 1898.
LAMAR & RANKIN DRUG CO., Atlanta, Ga.
Gentlemen: 1 can not recommend your Pitts' Carminative too
strongly, as 1 owe my baby’s life to it. She had Cholera Infantum
when five months old, and I could get no relief until I began using Pitt's
Carminative. The fever left her when I had given her but two bottles,
and she had fattened so she did not look like the same child. I advise all
mothers who have sickly or delicate children to give this remedy a trial.
Respectfully, Mrs. LIZZIE MURRAY.

WARNING TO FARMERS
AGRICULTURAL COMMISSIONER
STEVENS ON THE RECENT
RISE IN COTTON.
ONLI DELUSION AND SNARE
Dawn of Hettfr Time. In Sight If
Farmers Will but Stum! Kirin
unit Diversify Crops.
Atlanta, Feb. 1.
It is to be regretted that many of onr
farmers are almost in despair at the
outlook ahead of them, and numbers of
them (particularly of the tenant class),
are talking of abandoning the farms
and seeking employment in the cities.
This would be a fatal move to the great
majority of those who might try it. The
cities are already overcrowded with peo
ple who cannot obtain regular work,
and additional numbers would only ag
gravate this already bad condition. Re
member how your fathers acted at the
close of the war, 34 years ago. Return
ing as they did to ruined homes, with
out money, without credit, many of
them broken down in health, they went
to work with the same resolution aud
bravery that had enabled them for four
years to resist the overwhelming armies
of the north, and out of that ruin they
built up a great state, and in a measure
restored their shattered fortunes. You
are sons of those heroic sires, and should
not be daunted by difficulties no greater
than they met aud overoame. Industry
aud economy are bound to win now, as
they did after the war.
While the results of last year’s opera
tions have in very many cases been dis
couraging, let us not lose heart, but
with redoubled energy and with re
newed hope let ns strive for better re
sults this year. "Where there is a will,
there is a way.” and if we earnestly de
sire to be rid of the despotic rule of
"king cotton,” we can certainly find a
way to do so. I think I can see the
dawn of better times coming for our
farmers. With the reports of largely
increased seeding of small grain; of
many flour mills being erected in the
state (the largest in the south, now
about completed in Atlanta, which will
consume 5,000 bushels of wheat and
8,000 bushels of corn daily, and will fur
nish a cash market at railroad stations
for grain); of packing houses being es
tablished, that stand ready to purchase
every fat hog and beef that we will
raise, I am sure there is reason for the
“faith within me” that Georgia has
reached the last milestone on the
downward road to poverty, and will from
this point, steadily, and I hope rapidly,
advance towards the goal of prosperity
and independence. Do not be deceived
if as planting time approaches the men
who control the prices of cotton, permit
it to advance a little in value. They
want a large crop planted aud are even
now getting anxious, because of the
prospective decrease in acreage. You
have been caught by this attractive bail
in former years, and experience should
teach you to recognize and avoid it now.
Don’t forget the caution that I gave in the
January letter, viz: to repel the thought,
that because yonr neighbors will plant
less cotton you will plant more in hope
of better prices. This is most danger
ous ground to take, for if generally
adopted, the logical result would be an
enormous crop, with still lower prices.
I know that advice on this line is sel
dom appreciated, but beihg a farmer of
long experience, I deem it my duty to
pnt the matter plainly before my brother
farmers, hoping that good may result
from it. If my advice given last month
has been followed the fences on onr
farms have been repaired; new terraces
run off and old ones mended where nee
essary; many compost heaps have been
made; as the weather permitted, much
grain has been seeded, and the prepara
tion of the ground for other crops is
fairly nnder way.
While the season for wheat sowing is
past, there is still time to plant oats,
this beiug probably the best spring
month for that purpose. As the period
for rooting and growth of the crop be
oomes shorter as the the season advances,
it necessarily follows that the land
seeded to oats daring this month shonld
be richer, and if possible better pre
pared, than land seeded in the fall. The
root growth of the spring sown oats will
not be as great as when seeded in the
fall, therefore if a good crop is expected
from the spring planting, there must be
more available plant food in the soil.
You also need a variety of oats that will
mature quickly, and I known of none
better than the "Burt.” While they
do not yield as heavily as some other
varieties, they mature very early and
seldom rust. Do not fail to put in a
good acreage in oats while there is still
time to do »o, for you are likely to need
them badly next summer, and yon could
have no better feed for yonr work stock.
In the southern part of the state corn
planting shonld commence before this
month expires, particularly on the rad
lands of that section. These lands warm
up earlier than do the gray lands, and
can therefore be planted from ten days
to two weeks sooner. Don’t make the
mistake (so common among negro ten
ants) of planting corn very close. I
prefer 7 feet rows and 3 feet in.the drill,
with a row of ground peas or field peas
in the middles. By this plan as much
or more corn will be made than by closer
planting, anil aeropof peas also. What-
T. B. Rice, a prominent drug
gist of Greensboro, Ga., writes as
follows
“I have handled Dr. Pitts’ Car
minative for eight years, and have
never known of a single instance
where it failed to give perfect sat
isfaction. Parties who once use it
always make permanent customers.
We sell more of this article than
all the other Carminatives, sooth
ing syrups and colic drops com
bined.” For teething children it
has no equal.

LAWKENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 10, 1899.
ever fertilizer is used for the corn should
be strewn along the planting furrow—
\ no fear but that the corn roots will find
it. In planting ground peas in the corn
middles, I advise the use of the whole
ground pea, dropping one every 16 to 18
inches. Planted with the hull un
broken they will take longer to come
up, but in my experience you get a bet
ter stand They should be planted in
this way immediately after planting
corn. Many, however, prefer shelling
the peas, and in that case the planting
shonld be done two to three weeks later.
Some good farmers will doubtless
differ with me ill regard to snob early
planting of the above mentioned crops,
but from long observation of results I
am satisfied that early planting of any
crop gives the heaviest yield. Great
care shonld be used iu the selection of
seed corn, as there is such a large
amount of damaged corn this season,
much of which is hard to detect with
out careful examination. Many perfect
looking ears have a rotten cob, with
the germ of the grain discolored anil
dead. Yon eaunot be too careful in
this matter of selecting seed, as the en
tire success of your crop depends on it.
In the middle aud upper portions of the
state the same general directions for
planting will apply, save that the time
for planting gets later and later as we
go np the country, until there is fully a
month's difference between the two ex
tremes of the state. Wheu the moun
tain section is reached ground peas
would hardly be a profitable crop, and
field peas shonld be substituted for
them. The advice as to 7 feet rows for
corn, of course, applies only to uplands.
The river aud creek bottoms will bear
muoh closer planting.
Sugar cane should also be planted the
last es this month. The ground should
be deeply broken and well fertilised for
this crop. If the stalks are long ent
them In several pieoes. and in planting
let the pieces or the whole stalks lap,
for one-third of their length. By this
plan yon will get a better stand.
Commercial fertilizers are best for
sugar cane, as stable manure heavily
applied gives the syrup a dark color and
an unpleasant taste. There is very lit
tle profit iu making syrup to sell
at 15 to 18 cents a gallon, as at
present; but If greater care were used,
resulting iu a fine article of syrup, and
the same should be put up in half-gal
lon and gallon cans, attractively la
beled, I believe cane-growing could b«
made very profitable. The maple syrup
from the north is put up in this way,
and readily sells for high prices, though
not a whit better than our best cane
syrup. There is great room for im
provement here. Irish potatoes should
be planted this month, also all hardy
garden vegetables. Should a oold snap
threaten after they are up, cover lightly
with straw or leaves, which will afford
ample protection. Don’t fail to make
every effort to have a good garden, for
no other ground on the farm will pay
one-fourth as much on the investment as
will a fertile and well-cultivated garden.
It is to be hoped that you have given
ample care to yonr stock of various
kinds duriug the severe weather through
which we have passed. A good thick
bed of straw or leaves, under shelter, is
as much appreciated by your stock dur
ing cold and wet winter nights, as yonr
own comfortable bed is by yourself. “A
merciful man is merciful to his beast,”
and will provide for its wants, but many
of our improvident farmers will permit
their cows to stand all nightln a wet lot,
drawn np in fence corners, shivering
with cold aud hunger, while their hogs
run around squealing for warmth and
shelter, which they perhaps finally find
in the dust under some old onthonse.
This picture is not overdrawn, but can
be seen in every neighborhood in the
state. There is no profit iu such treat
ment of stock, and if yon can take no
better care of yonr animals, yon had
best sell them to some neighbor who
will care for them. This mistreatment
of stock is only one of the many curses
brought upon ns by the all-cotton craze,
and will quickly disappear, when our
people learn that there are many farm
products that pay better than oottou.
The excessive amount of wet weather
that we have had during the past three
months has very much delayed the
work of the plow, bnt we must not on
that account become iini>utient and
plow onr lands when too wet. This
wonld be almost certainly fatal to the
crop that follows and might diminish
the productiveness of such land for sev
eral years. The energetic farmer will
always find plenty of work on his place
requiring his attention, whether it be
wet or dry, and nothing is gained by
plowing the land when not in proper
condition.
This applies not only to the top soil,
bnt the subsoil as well. The passage of
the plow through either, when wet,
will simply puddle the clay and render
it, when dry, impervious to the roots of
the growing crop. O. B Stevens,
Commissioner of Agriculture.
How to Find Out-
Fill a bottle of common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty.four hours:
a sediment or settling indicates an unheal
thy condition of the kidneys; if it stains
your linen it is evidence ol kidney trouble;
too frequent desirv to pass it or pain in
the back is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladyer are out of order.
WHAT TO DO
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Koot, tne great kidney remedy fulfills
every wish in curing rheumaiism, pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder acd eve
ry part of the urinary passages. It cor
rects inability to hold watrr and scalding
pain iu passing it, or bad effects following
nse of liduor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being com
pelled to go often during the day, and to
get np many timss during the night The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best. At
druggists fifty cents or one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and a
bock that tells more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail, if you send your

A new postofiice was established
in a small village out west, and a
native of the soil was appointed
postmaster. After awhile com
plaints were made that no mail
was sent out from the new office,
and an inspector was sent to in
quire into the matter. He called
upon the postmaster, and staling
the cause of his visit, asked why
no mail had been sent out. The
postmaster pointed to a big nearly
empty mail-bag hanging up in a
corner, and said: “Well, I ain’t
sent it out yet ’cause the bag ain’t
nowhere nigh full yet!”

THE EVERETT CONCERT CRANE.
j “In the entire history of piano ma
! king in America few instruments have
| compelled more critical praise from
the trade press and expert musical au
thorities than the new scale Everett
concert grand piano. It has been just
ly said that this instrument marks an
epoch in grand piano development. A
thoroughly impartial investigation of
its merits reveals a volumn and quality
of tone, a most delicious touch and a
thoroughness of manufacture that
shows that no money has been spared
to make a perfect instrument architec
turally, as well as musically. For all
purposes of interpretation, the Everett
grand possesses the essential elements
demanded by the world’s few great
virtuosi.
“It is safe to assertthat when this in
strument is brought more prominently
into public notice, as it will be in due
time, it will create a virtual sensation.
In these days when commercialism
dominates the artistic as well as the
everyday world, it is gratifying to all
in sympathy with the artistic phases
of the piano business to note the con
sistent policy of the Everett Co. in con
stanly improving their instruments,
and completely remodeling their man
ufactories and placing them in charge
of experts for the purposes of artistic
piano production of the highest order.
“It is no easy task to make progress
even with such creditable and com
mendable objects in view, for it is la
boring for tile future, so to speak, in
stead of today. But for a firm like the
Everett Co., who understand that suc
cess is simply doing one thing well,
the way is clear, the end sure. ‘Blow
by blow, through eartti and rock, they
will toil till a final stroke shall break
through to tile crumbling quartz and
lay bare the yellow ore of realization.’
Thus will success be won.”
The above criticism of the Ev
erett piano and the Everett Facto
ries is taken from the Musical
Trade Beview published in New
York under date of December 17,
1898. Our New Everett piano in
upright, adapted for all classes of
work has not been surpassed by
the magnificent grand of which the
Editor writes. These instruments
are now offered by the very best

but little, comparisons are very
beneficial. Write us and we will

A very bright little army wo

few days, says a Washington dis

she was one of the guests at a

was a large affair, and in an im
promptu manner a number of
toasts were given. In the midst
of it the little army woman with
horror heard some one say:
“We have among ue the wife of
an officer in the regular army, and
1 think it is only fitting that she
should respond to the toast ‘The
Flag. ’ ” The men applauded and
the women smiled encouragement,
and, trembling a little as she held
up the glass of wine, the officer’s
wife spoke:
“I belong to a class of women
to whom the flag is especially uettr
and dear. All day it waves over
the roof of our little homes in the
far froutier, and at sundown the
rustle of its folds, mingled with
the notes of ‘The Star Spangled
Banner,’ is the lullaby of our
babies. We know that it will be
the winding sheet of those dearest
to us. Since the word Santiago
has been written in our hearts I
see yet more in this flag—in its

ashen faces; in thp blue, the lips
set with the word “Freedom,’ and
in the stars the souls that will
shine on forever. ”

Columbus Enquirer-Sun: There
is no good reason why Georgia
should not have a great many
more canning establishments than
she now has. Vegetables and
fruits grow in all sections of the
state in the utmost profusion, and
if canneries were established in
different localities, farmers would
be induced to grow fruits and veg
etables on a more extensive scale.
Little Rhode Island is building
a new state house at Providence,
and it is to bo a splendid specimen
of architecture. Its dome will be
au exact model of the dome of the
famous and beautiful Taj Mahal,
at Agra, India, aud it is to be
built, like that grandest of archi
tectual triumphs, wholly of beau
tiful white marble —and, what is
of still more interest, of Georgia
marble. In fact, the entire build
ing, both superstructure and dome,
is to be of Georgia marble. With
the single exception of the Taj
Mahal’s marble roof, the dome of
Rhode Island’s new capitol build
ing will be the largest dome built
wholly of marble in the world. It
will be the only one of any impor
tance in this country.
