The Boer Strength.
The statement in our foreign dis
patches yesterday, taken from the
Morning Post of London, that the
fighting force of the Boers is 100,
(XX) men and 206 guuß, is very sur
prising. The same authority says
that their fighting force was orig
inally 86,000 men, and that it has
been increased by additions from
Cape Colony. The highest esti
mate of the Boer strength that has
appeared in any of the public
prints of this country is 50,000
fighting men, and this estimate
was considered altogether too
high. It is the understanding
that the population of the two re
publics, the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State, is not over 800,
000. It would be difficult to get
50,000 effective fighting men from
so small a population. Iu an ar
ticle in the London Daily News re
cently, Mr. J. B. Robinson, who
appears to be well informed in re
spect to the Boers, and who writes

from the scene of the war, puts
the Boer fighting strength at 80,
000 men. It is probable that his
estimate is very much nearer cor
rect than the statement in the
Morning Post.
There are undoubtedly very
mauy Cape Colonists in tire Boer
army, and it is probable that there
are thousands of Outlanders who
preferred to enter the Boer service
to leaving the country. Besides
these, a large number of soldier*
of fortune, from all parts of the
world, have joined the Brers. It
is probabable therefore that they
have between 40,000 and 50,000
men in their service. >
And they have been handled
with remarkable skill aud have
done some excellent fighting. Op
posed to them now are 120,000 of
the best soldiers in the British
army, commanded by the ablest
generals in the service of the Brit
ish government. For three mouths
they have successfully resisted ev
ery effort to advance to the relief
of sections of their army shut up

been fought they have outgeneral

This day, which has bsan let apart
for the first annoal meeting of the Ae
aooiaiion of Commissioners, looking at
It does to the npbnilding of onr com
mon ebuntry and to the improve
ment of the oonditlon of the ootton
■talas, is to me an auspicious one l.trn
glad of thle opportunity to meet with
you and join in so landabie an under
taking, remembering that it is for the
good of the present as well as future
generations. Permit me, then fore, to
offer a few suggestions in the begin
ning of onr meeting for your considera
tion.
For years the farmers of the south
have been drifting ainnassiv into a con
dition of bankruptcy and demoralisa
tion, greatly to Iheir own hurt and to
the detriment es the common welfare.
This is net due to sterility of toll, nor
to unfavorable olunaiic conditions Na
ture has not done more for any section
than for the cotton states; nor it li
altogether fair to lay the lanlt of fail
are to our farmers; for, as a elats,
they have worked industriously in and
out of seaton. but they have networked
with nny died purpose of permanent
benefit In the end' I have for years
been urging the farmers of Georgia te
reverts their methods, If they would Bl
eeps the ooaditloas which have resulted
fram a lack of diversification in plant
ing their crop*. The salvalien of the
people depends upon rural independ
ence—by living at heme nod railing
home eappHee; by oatiing off imports
and iaoreaaiag exports; and I arge
■ post yea, the cammitsloneri es the
eettaa-grewiag states, to enll upon your
people to ohange their methods of farm
ing. It Is true that for 80 yeari the balance
•f trade has been somewhat in onr favor,
bat maoh tea yet be dona along this line.
Tbe farming itter.it has been the sub
jest es meek diteuisioa by the press end
people of the south for tbe past 11
moathst so much so that the people of
the rural districts are seeking informa
tion by reading tba dally mud weakly
papers sad agricultural journals. This
it one es the moat Important mediums
upon which this association must rely
in reaching the farming class, by
writing monthly latten upon agri
cultural subjects and questions, to
be published euoe a month in your
newspapers The work of reformation
haa begun, and it should be the objeot
of this association to reach every home
and cabin within its territory.
Tha last orop was a profitable one to
tha farmers of the south. Everything
bought with whioh to make it was
aheap—mules, labor, fertilizers, plough
tools, farming machinery, ootton oloth,
meal, oorn and forage) in fact, farm sup
plies of every description were exceed
ingly cheap, and consequently tbe crop
of 1868 came into tbe market at a very
low oost. Our people made light billa
The fall being favorable for gathering,
and the orop small as compared with for
mer years. It brought much better
prices, and consequently the people of
the ootton states are in better condition
than In former years Our farming ex
penses, with a few exceptions in certain
unfavored localities, have been puid
and onr debts reduced, and we have
more home-raised supplies than we
had one year ago. A change has taken
place; a different state of affairs
exists. I think there is no doubt that
the south is more prosperous today than
at any time within the last 30 years.
Prloes have advanoed, and onr peo
ple are more hopeful. Males and fer
tilizers have advanoed SB per oent;
corn, forage and meat are 15 per cent
higher; plow tools and fanning ma
chinery are T 5 per cent higher; ootton
goods are 50 per cent higher; bc ths orop
of 1899-1900 will oost fully 80 per cenl
more to market it thau did the crop
es 1898 09 I urge you to sonnd a note
of warning right now. Tell your farm
ers to make small Mils; to buy tor oaah,
if possible; to plant largely of food crops,
aud reduce the acreage In cotton even
below that of laat year. The ootton
crop for 1699 1900 will barely reaoh
900,000 bales, and the average price
paid thus far has been t cents, ao that
if we again curtail the ate es fertilizers
zed the aoreage in ootton, aad produce
only 8,000,000 balsa next seaaoa, we
may expeot not leaa than t Rente per
poena for onr crop. Bat, if our farm
ers go wild again, aa they did in 1896
bay everything on lime, plant the
whole earth In ootton and make a crop
of 11,600.000 balsa the ooantry will be
raised, almost beyond hope. Baeh a
crop next seaaoa wonld aall from
to 6 cents per pound, and leave
us hopelessly in debt. It may be read
ily seen that an 8,000,000 bale crop will
bring more money than an 11,600,000 bale
crop, to say nothing of the oost of mar
keting, and what we lose by leaving off
food orops If we oan only indnoe our
farmers to adopt this method, they will
be masters of the situation, and no con
spiracy can control the cotton market

Dr L. M, Cillam, who practiced
medicine over forty years hi Atlanta,
originated, used and claimed that Bo
tanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) which has
now been in use about forty years, was
the best Tonic and Blood Puniler ever
given to the world. It never fails to
cure the most malignant Ulcers, Sores,
Rheumatism,Catarrh, and all skin and

CATARRH CURED AFTER SEVERAL DOC
TORS FAILED.
I have been afflicted with Catarrh
for many years, although all sorts of
tnedicilM and several doctors did their
best to i ire me. My blood was very
impure, and nothing ever had any ef
fect upon the disease until 1 used That
great Blood Remedy known as Botanic
Blood Balm, a few bottles of which ef
fected an entire cure. I recommend it
to all who have yatarrh. I refer to
any merchant or Banker of Athens,

and wring from them the frnita of
their labor without a fair reward.
The cotton manufacturing interest in
tbe southern stales baa been greatly re
vived. Its influence is already felt, and
we should give it all the encouragement
and aid in onr power Whiie farmers are
raising miiliona of tbe raw piodnct, it it
the height of folly for onr business men
to sit idly by and see tbe profits in ths
manufacture of cotton go abroad. Each
railroad town in the cotton states should
have a cotton mill. The millions of
dollars which pass through their harnli
for cotton goods sliond be kept at home.
Let ns encourage and welcome capital
to come among ns, to open np and de
velop our varied interests; but let tbe
profits from the mannfactnre of cotton
be spent among our own people. We
produce tbe raw material, and wby not
ship to other states the goods manufac
tured? Tbe item of transportation,
alone, will bo enoagh to pay them
abundantly for their enterprise, and,
besides, these mills would give employ
ment to thousands of operatives, who
must be fed by tbe farmors from tbeir
breadstnffs, dairies and gardens In
this way additional facihties for the
marketing of onr farm products will be
furnished.
That it is tbe dnty of the state to edu
cate its yenth has never been qnes
tioned by the intelligent citizenship of
any commonwealth. The sums annu
ally expended tor this purpose are a
profitable investment, making returns
in after years of better government, a
• trong and intellectual people, aud a
fall development of onr institntionz
It is an avident and accepted fact that
each individual should be taugut those
branches that will best fit him for the
work be will follow upon reaching his
majority. Oar states hays long since
provided departments for teaching iaw
and medioine, aud the general govern
ment la anpportiag a department of ag
riculture; bat, when we remember the
thousands of ooantry schools in the
cotton states, attended by three fourths
of onr boys, a large majority of whom
are usable to attend the agricnltural
colleges and sobnols where the higher
branohes are taught, we are at oooa im
pressed with the feet that these youths,
upon whom will depend the duty es
supplying the country with food pro
ducts. and famishing the balk es onr
exports, era not being fully prepared
for the calling that the great agricult
ural interests of onr statss will demand.
Agrioulture may properly be eUtssed
among the sciences, and farming as a
profession. Ths intelligent man will
manage bis herds and cultivate his flslda
with profit. Information that cheapens
ths production of vegetables, fruits and
cortals will he disseminated among tho
cotton states, and we hope yet to lead
tho world Id qgrioultural production,
aud to oontrlbote in like ratio to her
prosperity. The manual labor of Che
farm must bc intelligently directed,
to insure sucaess. The etate that leads
in ths dissemination of information on
agricultural subjects will, In the end,
outstrip ocher agrioultnral communities
in wealth, progress and a full develop
mentof their resonrcea If wo will teach
onr children in the common schools ths
olsmentary principles of agriculture—
facts that have been ascertained by
practical teals at efficiently conducted
experimental stations—we will add to
onr farming population a class of yonng
men and women fnll of strength and
vitality, and better equipped than were
their fathers and mothers for the de
velopment of the great interests of tbe
south. The neoossity for imparting
this information in the common sohools
seems so apparent—the oost being really
insignificant, while the resalts are of
momentous value—that it should not bo
deferred or negleoied.
What, then, is this knowledge that
the modern famer mnst have? He
must know (he chemistry of his farm;
ha must know the life and constiintion
•f the things which grow from the soil;
h» mast know their manner of growth;
he mast know the insect life of the lo
cality in which he lives; he must be
a successful student of geology aud zo
ology—especially thatbrauch of zoology
vthieh deals with minute amnial life,
entomology. This he must know, and
know well. He mast know the friends
and enemies of the apple tree,
of the cabbage, of the grass of the
meadow; he must know about the mil
lions of living things that creep, mu
and fir. Bat how can the farmer learn
these things and thereby keep his land
from wearing oat and his orop from de
struction? Not by discussing the silver
question; net by adopting free trade;
aud not by a discussion of our polloy in
the Pbilipulnes. He must study oare
fully the tariff annually levied by
the apple tree borers and moths,
cabbage worms, potato bngs and
caterpillars. This Is the field fer In
vestigation The lnseots daily chal
lenge the farmer to deadly combat. It it
a battle to the death, and oannet be
evaded. The farmer of today must know
the science and philosophy of physical
life, the life of the animal and tke
plant, that he may be successful in his
undertaking. We should, thsrefore,
encourage the teaching of these sciences
in onr common sohools.
How delighted the boys and girls
would be to learn about wheat and
com; about the apple tree, the peach,
the plnm and the pear; how these
trees grow and are propagated; how
they may be cared for and protected from
the enemies that annually prey upon
QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
aud grandmothers never thought
of using anvthing else for Indiges
tion or Billiousneas. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldstn heard ol
Appendecitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the ac
tion of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green’s

The first indication of croup is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to

1 sign of the approach of an attack. Fol
i lowing this hoarseness is a peculiar
| rough cough. If Chamberlain’s Cough
I Remedy is given as soon as the child

oroupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. It is used in many thou
sands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious moth

bard sen *• . a* year by planting largely
of grain mid Jorage crops. The retail
is as u btiite. Georgia has today plenty
of g’-ain i.nd orago inside of her bor
ders to lead her people and make a crop.
Georgia reduced her fertilizer bills
20 per cent; her acreage in ootton 16
per cent, and with poor seasons in many
sections the crop of cotton iu Georgia
has been largely reduced and the price
largely increased. The crop of 1899
was the cheapest made in many years.
Oorn, hay, meat, mules, and clothing
was very low. Labor was not high,
aud on account of seasons no extra la
bor was required to make the orop. The
fall was dry and favorable for gather
ing, therefore the crop was brought in
market in fine condition and at low oost
and brought fair prices, so that our peo
ple have been benefited.
Bu< conditions have changed. Mules,
fertilizers and labor are 26 ftor cent
higher; meat is 16 per cent higher; corn
and forage 10 per cent higher; plow
tools and farm machinery 60 per cent
higer; cotton goods 40 per cent higher,
so this crop will be a costly one com

WHY ? Because they could buy no better.
Pianos were offered this College by Atlanta dealers and other man
ufacturers at one half the price paid for the CoDover. Shorter Col
