Home-Made Hard Times.
There i* always tp be heard in the
land the cry of “hard times.” And
there is some-ground for the general
growl. Some] of our finest speci¬
mens of hard timps,. it. is, true, are
manufactured by northern trust* and
Republicans and imported into this
section by scheming bunco-gamers
and sold to the s uthern farmer at
ridiculously low prices—considering
the quality of the article. But lots
—job lots—of our , hard times is
homemade. We buy more than we
produce. Too much flour, bacon
and hay is shipped her* every year.
We sail our ootton to northerner
English mills at 6 cents and pay 12
cents for common cotton goods. We
We let our timber rot and buy our
wagons in Chicago and our ax-hau-
dles in Michigan. We throw away
our ashes and buy soap and axle-
grease. We give away cur hides
and buy hame-strings and shoe-ties.
We waste, our manure and pay two
prices for inferior commercial ferti-1
izer. We buy garden seed in the
spring and cabbage in the winter.
We lot our lands grow up in weeds
and buy our brooms We chop our
sweetgum trees down to catch a
,possum and pay cash for chewing
gum and cough medicine for the
children. We build school hou*es
aud birtt teachers and send the
sbildren off to be educated. We
land a five-cent-a-dozen minnow
with a four-dollar-a-yard fishing rad
into a fifteen-dollar basket, We
send a Sfteen-cent kid out with a
tvventy-dollar gun and a ten-dollar
dog to kill birds. We raise dogs
and we raise cain at the dog tax aud
pay a big price for wool, We let
out a good farm to a fe.zv nigger and
a lazier mule to run to sage brush
and persimmon and sassafras bushes
while we starve to death for the
sake of being “town folks,” and we
growl like) forty at “luck” when an
industrious, practical Yankee makes
a fortune on a poor patch across the
road from “our farm” So it goes.
And about the only things in this
country of which there is an over-,

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a
certain preventative and cure for
croup. It has become the universal
remedy for that disease. M .V. Fish-
er, of Liberty, W. Va., only repeats
what has been said around the globe
when he writes: “I have used
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in
mamily for several years and always
with perfect success. We believe

Too Many Studies.
“When too much is attempted too
little is achieved. Many of the news-
papers of the country are applying
this truism to studiea in the public
schools, and they are advooating a
general thinning out of the over
crowded curriculum,says the Phils-
delnbia Record.
A superficial education is ,
better than none. It is demonstrable
that the forcing process now in
vogue in the public schools is a la-
mentable fai’ure as an educative pro-
cess. Students are graduated with
a confused smatteriug of
while lacking fundamental knowl-
edge.
It is better to teach little and well
than to teach little and ill. The
effort to bring a university curricu-
lum into the common schools has
not been attended with happy re
suits. Instead,, therefore, of still
further increasing common school
courses—which has been suggested
by a few pedagogic believers in the
so-called “higher education”—it
would be better to entirely div.jrce
the university from the common
scuool school ana and graduate graduate nuoils pupus who wno mav may
have acquired a thorough under-
standi D g of essentials.”
The Dispatch has time and again
complained against this evil. It 18
a waste of time and money and an
aggravation of the pnpils to go
through daily the number of studies
now in the curriculum, and we live
in hopes of seeing a more practical
course adopted.
Having a Great Ran on Chamber¬
lain's Cough Remedy. |
Manager Martin, of ihe
drug atore informs us that he is
having a great run on Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. He sails five hot- j
ties of that medicine to one of any
other kind, and it gives great satis-
faction. In these days of la grippe
there,is nothing like Chamberlain’s

Perhaps, the best resolution the
average man could make for tbe
year, would be to keep out of debt.
The efforts of those dependent upon
their own exertions to meet the de- j
mands of society causes move worry
than anything else, and tbe tempta-
tion to get in debt is almost irresist-
ible, and debts once contracted are
likely to remain a peace disturber
for years to come Live on your in¬
come and you will be a better and
happier man.—Milledgevilie Re¬

Words of Encouragement.
The following words of encour-
agement are from the Southern Cul-
tivator, and should be read by every
farmer:
“It is well nigh impossible for us
to look back twelve months and re-
call the actual gloom that then set-
tied Upon us. It was raining almost
day. , Cotton ,, was sprouting
and rotting in the field. It was worth
from 3 to cents when picked,
Some of it was so damaged that it
sold for only 1 cents. But little
grain, had been sown. The ground
was too wet for any sort of plowing.
There was nothing to relieve the sit-
uation or to brighten the outlook for
the coming year.
‘Everybody was abusing the far-
mer for growing too much cotton
and causing financial distress in all
business. Very much of the corn
was rotten or badly damaged. Not
even hay had escaped. This was
muddy. The farmers wore inclined
to join the general hue and,pry and
blame himself or providence for the
low prices of everything except
money and cows.
“How many j of „ us were to make ,
anot id nop we cou i i. .ie.
farmer was m the mud and everyone
standing on top ot bun trying to
of light across ^Tbe tbc sky-' sky, alt ilU-LTiE wasctaik,
Such is a very faint and irn-
perfect pict ure of November, 189 8.
“If w e could have seen anything
else to do we would have gladly quit
farming. Discouragement sat upon
every brow.
“To-day we see everyth ng. hanged

sun brought heat and drought, soil

about 9,260,000 bales of cotton have
tban lh(; short cr0 P of 1898 - A fair
yield of food crops of all kinds has
been saved in good condition.
“Hope, encouragement, cheer,push
and energy one sees upon every face.
New enterprises are being inaugur-
a ted. Hid away millions are crawl-
i n g ou t Capital is no longer fright-
eDed Energy is able to find back-
; B g ^ general advance along all
lines has put new life into every kind
of enterprise and every avenue of
business.
“The farmer is getting his share

emphatically in front. Ho is no

“We do not mean to say that

but he has double the opportunity,
Have we the name and the brains to
h ° ld vantage ground? Are we
not in danger of letting the improved
price of cotton delude us into plant¬
ing too much cotton this year?
The lesson of the present is a very
important one. We reduced the
acreage of 1899 crop in cotton; we
turned' much of our attention to
other lines of farming. We sowed
more grain> planted more eorn and
peas . nlowed more hay, increased
