HOGS AND COWS.
“There is money in raising hogs
and cows.” This was the answer
a progressive farmer gave ua in re
ply to the question : “Is there
any way for farmers to make mon
ey at the present time ?” Con
tinuing, he said : “Hogs and cows
are eagerly sought after, ard the
market is never glutted. I have
never known a time when it was a
hard job to sell hogs and cows.”
Don’t you think this man hit the
nail on the head when he said the
market is never glutted? Isn’t
this the market that every farmer
is hunting for—the market that is
never glutted ? If you can man
age to raise a few hogs and cows
above home demands, you have a
market that is never glutted in
which to sell your surplus. We
know that the farmers of Middle
Georgia are not prepared to go ex
tensively into the business of rais
ing hogs, but there is no great dif
ficulty to encounter in the raising
of cattle. There is much land an
nually cultivated in this county
that is actually worked at a loss,
which could be converted into pas
tures while undergoing improve
ment for future tillage. Pastures,
it is very true, are not very pro
lific, but sufficiently so to main
tain a small herd of cattle during
half of the year.
We believe the day is not far
distant when our people will be
forced to pursue the above course.
For, unable to compete with Tex
as and other sections in the rais
ing of cotton, necessity will force
us to devote attention to cattle
raising, which, in their eagerness
to raise cotton, our western com
petitors are neglecting more and
more every year.
How do we know this is true ?
Simply because it is now cot an
uncommon thing to see a cattle
man from the west seeking to pur
chase Georgia cattle in car-load
lots to carry west to fatten for
market. This shows conclusively
that western yearlings are uot now
so numerous as formerly. De
mand has overrun supply in that
quarter, and to meet the supply
they purchase our cattle, and, as
soon as marketable, dispose of
them. The farmers of Georgia do
not realize full profits on the cows
they sell, because they sell them
generally when very poor. Fat
cattle are in very much greater
demand than lean, and of course
command a much better price. If
it pays the purchaser to buy poor
cattle and fatten them before put
ting them on the market, why will
it not pay the farmer to fatten
them before selling ? Never sell
a lean cow or hog, should be the
motto of every farmer in the land.

HONEY FOR FARMERS.
The large amount of poultry and
eggs now offered for Hale in the lo
cal market shows that farmers are
giving considerable attention to
raising chickens. This fact is
gratifying to those of us who be
lieve that that the farmer should
produce less cotton and more of
something else. The evident pur
pose of a large number of farmers
in this section is to diversify their
agricultural pursuits. This is
demonstrated in many ways, but
in none more forcibly than in the
interest awakened in poultry-rais
ing during the last few years.
The hen is an indispensable ad
junct of divgrssfied farming. The
farmer who produces grain and
hay naturally raises his own beef
and pork, and the farmer who
supplies his family with beef and
pork will not fail to supply it
with poultry. The farmer who
gives every acre of his land and
every minute of his time to cot
ton-growing alone or to the pro
duction of any other crop has no
time for such a small crop as poul
try and eggs. The farmer who
grows hundreds of bales of cotton
and thousands of bushels of wheat
or of corn, considers a few dozen
hens and eggs insignificant. He
forgets that the annual egg pro
duct of the United states is worth
more than the wheat crop.
However, the one-crop farmer
may be right as to himself. Doubt
less it would not pay him to de
vote part of his time to a few hens.
The cotton-grower of the lower-
Mississippi valley or 011 the plains
of Texas, the corn planter on the
plains of Kansas, or the wheat
grower in the great Northwest,may
be able to raise his one-crop at a
profit. Georgia is not a one-crop
state. It is not adapted to that
kind of farming. It is adapted to
diversified farming, and nothing
else will pay.
There is money for the farmer
in poultry.
Tho fact that the Georgia farm
er is beginning to understand this
is one of the most encouraging
sigus of the times.—Rockmart
Slate.
Discovered by A Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that, too, by a lady living
in this country. “Disease fastened
its clutches upon her and for 7 years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
a way to recovery by purchasing of us
a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, and was so much re
lieved on taking first dose that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,
has been absolutely cured. Her name
is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus writes

PAY AS YOU GO.
If you wish to lessen the worries
of the world and scatter sunshine
as you go, don’t bother to go
a-slumming, or lift the iallen, or
trouble to reclaim the erring—
simply pay your debts Theertully
and promptly. It lubricates the
wheels of trade, breaks up party
ice, gives tone to the social sys
tem and liberates good-will.
Pay as you go.
Especially pay the peeple who
work by the day and toil with
their hands. A dollar means
much to the man who spades your
garden—never humiliate the man
by making him ask for his dollar.
Give it to him immediately, the
work is done, and if he did well,
tell him so. When the woman
who crouches over a sewing ma
chine for you all day long brings
the garment heme, pay her all you
owe, and do not add to her troub
les be exercising the prerogative
of one who is paying over money,
to flaunt out either insulting re
marks or insulting manners.
The gentleman shows his true
nature in his treatment of social
inferiors; and of all the damning
sins the witholding of money due
a workingman is the worst. Let
us pay as we go. And the cheer
fulness and good-will we give out
with our money will in turn be
given out by those we pay it to.
Pay as you go.—Valdosta Times.
COTTON TESTED BY FIRE.
Experiments at Lowell show the Advan
tage of American Roundlap Bales.
The Roundlap bale of the American
Cotton Co., the Lowery bale of the
Planters’Compress Company, and an
ordinary square cotton bale were sub
jected to a thoroughgoing fire test in
Lowell Mass., June Nth by the Associa
ted Factory Mutual Fire Insurance
Companies of the United States, for
the purpose of determining the rela
tive fire hazards of the several meth
ods of baling cotton.
Two small frame houses, exactly
alike, and some distance apart had been
erected on a vacant plot and the space
beneath them filled with boards and
cotton waste, over which ten gallons of
coal oil were poured. In one building
eight American Roundlap bales and
one square bale were stored. In the
other, eight Lowery bales and one
square bale. The torch was applied
and the flames were permitted to burn
one hour before being extinguished.
It was as hot a blaze as cotton could
well be subjected to. There was no
test of the square bale, owing to the
fact that when the superstructures col
lapsed, which they did a few minutes
after being tired, one of the square
bales fell away from the flames and
then the other was removed.
It was evident and generally conced
ed that the American Roundlap bale
stood the test much better than the
Lowery bale. Nearly all the wires on
the Lowery bales were burned off and
the bales elongated from their original
length of 3 feet 3 inches to 0 feet and
over. This exposed the cotton in the
Lowery bales to the flames which were
eating into the bales at many points
when the fire was put out. Two of
the Lowery bales broke in two and
were more badly burned than the oth
ers.
The American bales stood up splen
didly under the severe ordeal. They
neither unrolled nor extended in
length, and only the outer surfaces
exposed to the intense flames were
burned. This latest test, was only an
other triumph for the American Cot
ton Company Roundlap bale.
The cotton saved from the fire will
be carefully picked over and the sal
vage reclaimed will be weighed.
it was stated by underwriters pres
ent at the Lowell fire test that, at a se
cret test recently made as to the abil
ity of the two different styles of round
bales to withstand the action of water
after being submerged for some time
the wires on the Lowery bales had
burst and none of the Lowery cotton
was recovered from the test. The
American Company’s bales came out
intact and wet only on the exterior,
which soon dried, leaving the cotton
as good as ever

NOT THE ONI.Y MISTAKE.
Giving the ballot to the negro is
not the only mistake the republi
can party lias made in connection j
with the black man. That party
has persistently taught the negro
that to it he owes gratitude for j
his freedom, and that the republi
cans fought for and freed the slaves
because of their love of humanity,
and the love of the negro which
was felt by the people of the north.
This falsehood appears in practi
cally every history written by a
northern man. It is repeated and
emphasized by politicians and
preached by ministers of the gos
pel.
Every intelligent person who
knows anything about the causes
of the civil war knows that it was
not begun on humanitarian
grounds, or for the purpose of free
ing the slaves. The war came
about because the north did not
want negro slaves in the territo
ries, which were the common her
itage of the whole country. Ex
cepting a few thousaud abolition
ists, there was no party in toe
north which objected to slavery so
long as it was confined to the
south. Northerners objected to
extending the system into the ter
ritories. That objection was not
based upon opposition to slavery
upon moral grounds, but upon the
fact that slave labor would com
pete with white free labor.
There was no thought on the
part of the north of freeing the
slaves until the war had been in
progress for a long time. But af
ter awhile it became apparent that
if the republican party was to be
saved and Lincoln re-elected to
the Presidency, the abolitionists
would have to, be placated. The
emancipation of the slaves was
what the abolitionists demanded,
and this was conceded by the man
agers of the republican party, in
opposition to the wishes of the
masses of the north. There was
nothing of high moral purpose in
volved in the movement. It was
merely a matter of political and
military expediency,of shrewd wire
pulling. All this talk of humani
ty and justice toward the negro is
the fruit of an afterthought, which
is a perversion of the truth.
When the negroes of the south
are taught, in histories, by politi
cians and from pulpits, that the
great and good republican party
went into the war for the purpose
of rescuing them from th 6 bonds
of the wicked and cruel southern
white men, they are being given
dangerous education. The seeds
which bring forth crime and lynch
ing are being sown ; for the negro
is taught to hate the southern
white man, to harbor malice
against him, and to plan revenge
upon him for wrong which the
histories, the politicians and the
preachers have told the negro he
has suffered at the* hands of the
southern white man. The negro
does not go back and seek tho
truth respecting the origin of the
war; he does not by research as
certain that the north was as much
of a slave-trader us the south, so
long as there was money to be
made at the business. He accepts
the statements of the histories,
the politicians and the preachers
as facts, and accordingly arrays
himself against the Southern white
man.
However, the efforts of the old
time republican party to prevent
negro labor from competing with
white labor, and for which cause
tens of thousands of northern men
laid down their lives, is a thing of
the distant past. The existing
fact is that the very thing which
that party then wished to prevent
iB now taking place. The negro
from the south is now competing
with the white man in the labor
fields of Illinois, Kansas, Indiana
and other states of the west and
north; and he is destined to carry
that competition still much fur
ther. The day is probably not
very far distant when the sons and
grandsons of those who fought
against the competition of negro
labor, and unintentionally freed
the negro before they had got
through with it, will find them
selves burdened with quite as much
of a race problem as exists in the
south.—Savannah News.

Our New Cruisers,
The acme of perfection in naval
construction seems about to be at
tained in the six new cruisers soon
to be added to our navy, for wbich
. the plans are now complete. They
will be identical in detail, aud will
com bine the highest possible speed
and heavy armament with small
horse-power, great coal capacity
and enormous steaming radius.
Their completion will signalize a
truly wonderful achievement in
American ship-biiLdiiig ability,
and will fully demonstrate the re
markable strides we have made in
a few years. They are believed to
be not only superior *to anything
of their class now afloat or build
ing, but will embrace many new
and novel features of peculiar im
portance. The appropriation for
them contemplated vessels of but
2,000 tons displacement, but the
constructors determined to surpass
all records, and have designed ves
sels of 8,400 to be built within the
appropriation. Each and every
one of them will prove a valuable
addition to our navy, and their
completion will be heartily wel
comed by a people who have in a

A Mississippi editor makes this f
appeal to delinquent subscribers:
“Fish down into your pockets and t
dig up the dust, the editor is hun
gry, and the paper ’bout to bust.
We’ve trusted you for several
months, and did it with a smile, t
so just return the compliment and (
trust us a while. Our wife needs ,
some stockings, and baby needs a (
dress, Jimmie needs some breeches |
aud so does Kate and Bess. Pud ,

Biok with grief, say isn’t it possi
ble to give a man relief? Shell i
out those nickels and turn loose I
the dimes, turn ’em loose and whis
tle and we’ll have better times; i
there will be fewer patches on the i
bosom of our pants, and we'd make
the piiper better if we had half a
chance. Don’t give us that old
story long gone to seed, ’bout tak
ing more family papers than the
family want to read, but help to
feed tin printer, and he’ll help
the town to grow, and thus escape
the sulphur in the regions down
below.”
Two members of a well estab
lished firm that does business in
the wholesale district, indulged in
the following dialogue the other
afternoon:
Junior Partner—Why didn’t you
give that man a chance ? We
need another clerk here, and I
rather like his looks.
Senior Partner—l liked his
looks, too, but he's no good.
Junior Partner—How do you
know that ?
Senior Partner—When a man
who is looking for a job comes to
me and says, 'I suppose you don’t
want to hire any one today, do
you ?’ that’s enough. If he had
anything in him, he’d come right
out and say what h i meant. If
he supposed we didn’t want to
hire anyone, why did he waste our
time aud his by coming in to
bother us ?—Chicago Times-Her

The largest single grave in the
world occupies just exactly oue
acre of ground, which is surround
ed by an iron railing. This enor
mous grave is located at Pearto
Cortez in Spanish Honduras and
is the burial place of a woman.
The tombstone occupies the center
of the ground inclosed, aud sev
eral wooden figures representing
the deceased are arranged in stat
uelike form in different parts of
the ground.
There are no fewer than 16 of
these figures, which in the eve
ning give tho place a ghofttlike
appearance.
The deceused had died rich and
in her will had specified the
amount of ground to be purchased
for her grave and the manner in
which it should be decorated. She
had many curious notions, and
the size and ornamentation of her
grave was one of them.
Parsnip Complexion.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sullierer from kidney trouble. The
hollow checks, the sunken eyes, the dark
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urniate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once
repeated,or if the urine has a brick dust
deposit or strong odor.
When these symptons are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, cattarh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may rnn
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such disease. Its reputation is world wide
and it is so easy to get at any drug store
that no one need suffer any length ot time
for what of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits mention The Lawrence
vllle News-Herald and write to Dr- Kil
mer A Co. Binghomton, N. Y. for a sample

"The Negro in Politics.”
1 The Lawrenceville News Herald,
- has made a move for the purifica
i tiou of politics in Gwinnett coun
i tv, that is bound to be effective.
• Every county in the state and
I every state in the south, should
I follow up tho course of North Car
i olina: that of denying the right
’ of all negroes to vote who canuot
■ read the constitution of the United
i States,
| Bro. McNelley, the brainy editor
of the News-Tlerald, has sounded
■ the best element of Gwinnett
i county, on the subject, and pub
' Irnhed the expression of 88 of her
! best citizens—Bo, of whom speak
• in plain terms, favoring a white
' Democratic primary.
It is a misfortune on the south,
' to bavfe such a corrupt mixture of
i forces in the ballot box. It is
with no small degree of longing,
that we revert to the time of one
decade past, when our primaries
were white, and a mutual state of
affairs existed, that gave to the
South the brightest prospect that
ever a people had. But just when
her opprtunities were brightest,
misfortune came. An insane idea
got into the heads of a restless
few who decided that they could
more quickly and successfully sat
isfy the wants and needs of the
people. The Populist party was
the offspring of this movement.
But they needed strength, and
decided to court the negro. They
offered him recognition and social
equality in their conventions;
which act has caused much mis
fortune and suffering in the south.
But this subject is so well han
dled by Bro. McNelley, that we
produce his editoral in full below.
Head it and think over it, and let
that patriotism and love of coun
try, that is born in every true
Georgian, decide on which side
you will be when the question
comes up in your own county. It’s
bound to come, so get ready for it
now.—Winder Democrat.

In Memory of Joel 0. Killcreate
We, a committee appointed from
Maddox Sunday-school to draft
resolutions in memory of our de
parted brother, submit the fol
lowing :
God, in His wisdom, has taken
from our midst our much beloved
brother, Joel Calvin Killcrease,
He was horn July 10, 1876, and
died Aug. 26, 1899. He became ,
a member of Ebeuezer Baptist
church in Aug. 1898, aud lived a
consistent member until his death.
In the death of Joel, though he
was a young man, we realize that
we have lost one of our most zeal
our workers, and we know that
our sweet singer is gone. Not
only are we losers, but his church
also. And his influence was felt
in other Sunday schools, Aud
last and most appreciated place
of places—his home! What a
vacancy there! A vacancy that
can never be filled.
Therefore, be it resolved, by
Maddox Sunday school in regular
session assembled. That we bow
in humble submission to Him who
doeth all things well. Though
we have lost one of best workers,
and our sorrow is great, yet we
can truly say, “A good mau is
gone to reap a good man’s re
ward.”
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be furnished the News-
Herald for publication. Also a
copy be tendered his bereaved pa
rents, and that a copy of the same
he filed on the minutes of our
school, and a page left blank in
his memory. ,
Resolved, Thai we ever strive to
emulate the,precepts of our de
parted brother, and when our
earthly career is ruu may we obey
the summons as our brother did—
willingly.

pecially poets, are dilatory. But

to the rule. His poem arrived
the day it was promised. It came
' by express in a formidable parcel.
