Mr. Bryan, it seems, farm¬

this country has ever had.
As the object of this syndi¬

September 14th will be
Cotton Day at tho Nashville
exposition and the farmers
of Rockdale are invited to
help make the Georgia ex¬
hibit on that day a success.
Have you any extra fine cot¬
ton that you would like to
put on exhibit where thou
• sands of people will sec it?
If so, bring it to the Banner
office on the morning of the
inst., and we will tag it
for you and see that it is de¬
livered free of any chargo to
you. Now, will not some
of our farmers help in this
matter? There is some very
fino cotton in the county and
it is hoped that the farmers
will send in some good speci¬
mens and help this much in
advertising our county.
The Athens Banner tells
the following story : "An old
white woman, over 60 years
of age, was standing on Thom¬
as street and gazing upon a
locomotive passing by. When
the whistle would blow she
would start violently and be¬
come greatly alarmed. It was
evident that she had never
Been a locomotive before in
her life. The old lady, whose
name was not secured at the
time, lives in the dark cor¬
ner of Oconee county. Near¬
ly all her life she has been in
poor health, and had never
Been a locomotive before.
She came to Athens to attend
to a little business and went
with a friend to a point near
the Macon and Northern de¬
pot in order to gaze for the
first time upon a locomo¬
tive and train of cars.

The Atlanta correspondent
to the Macon Telegraph is re
sponsible for the following :

course, your Uncle Leonidas
Livingston objects to fertil
izing the soil as a defunct
politician, and it may be con¬
fidently expected that he is
not going to quietly lay down
a fat $ 5,000 job without a
wrestle for it. Of course At¬
lanta is getting a bit weary of
the Newton county statesman
and will present one or more
candidates of her own. And
why not? Atlanta has plenty
of politicians who simply o
pen their mouths and shut
their eyes whenever they hear
the rattle of the fork and the
“The man who promises to
warm the wax in the ears of
Leonidas of Newton is Chas.
I. Branan, a partner in the
firm of Branan Bros,, whole¬
sale grocers, in Atlanta.
“Branan is a popular man.
Once he was a salesman and
all the people of the Fifth
district know him. They
know him now as a merchant
and it is said that he is able
to call every man by name in
a radius of forty miles around
the capital.
“Branan, it will be recalled,
ran against Livingston last
time, and although he got on
to the track late in the cam¬
paign, he ran two counties
straight and came near tak¬
ing others off of Livingston’s
string. Branan’s plan is to
start early this year and when
the polls are finally made up
he doubts if any traces of Mr.
Livingston can be found,”
CONVICTS ON ROADS.
Hon. L. F. Livingston is
opposed to the present sys¬
tem of leasing state convicts
and thinks they should be
put on the public roads, and
that such a system would be
much more profitable to the
people. In speaking on the
subject of placing * the
con¬
victs on the roads, he is quot¬
ed as
i i With good roads Georgia
would blossom from the
mountains to the sea. We
need them sadly. As it is,
the farmer who has a load to
haul has to adjust that load
so as to fit the worst spot in
the road over which he has
to haul it. There may be
nine miles and a half of good
road over which he could
haul three bales of cotton
with comparative ease, but
because of the other half mile
of bad road he can haul only
two bales. We often hear

complaints against the
charges made by the railroads
for hauling the products of
the farms ; these complaints
may or may not be just, but
, how those who
many of com
plain have considered the
greater cost to the farmer of
hauling liis products over bad
roads? I think, therefore,
that anybody who will Study
the question, considering not
only the immediate outlay,
hut the ultimate returns to
the farmers and to the state
in the increased valuation of
farm properties and the in¬
crease of tax returns which is
sure to follow, will agree that
the benefits to be derived
from such a system will far
outweigh the cost to the state.

Warts on Mutes Ears.
Question. — I have two mules with
warts on their ears. Please tell me the
best method of removing them.
T Answer. —There are various methods
recommended for removing warts. The
best plan, however, is to cut them off
with a sharp knife, and either burn the
place where cut with a hot iron or wash
it for several days with acetic acid. The
warts are simply attached to the skin
and will not return if treated as di¬
rected.—State Agricultural Department
SOMETHING TO DEPEND
ON.
Mr. James Jones, of the drug
firm of Jones & Son, Cowden,
Ill., in speaking of Dr. King's
New Discovery, says that last
winter his wife was attacked
with La Grippe, and her case
grew so serious tha* - physicians at
Cowden and Pana could do noth¬
ing for her. It seemed to devel¬
op, into Hasty Consumption.
Having Dr. King's New Discov¬
ery in store, and selling lots of
it, he took a bottle home, and to
the surprise of all she began wo
get better from first dose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured
her sound and well. Dr. King s
