TO MOTHERS! While all children detest castor oil,” calomel,
pills and laxatives, they really love to take Cascarets because they
taste like candy. Cascarets ‘‘work’’ the nasty bile, sour fermentations
and constipation poison from the child’s tender stomach, liver and
bowels without pain or griping. Cascarets never disappoint the
worried mother, Each ten cent box of Cascarets contains directions
for children aged one year old and upwards as well as for adults—

THE ATLANTA GRORGIAN o A Clean vewspaper tor Southern ndmgs LY N FRIDAY, PEBRUARKY 7, 1919.
By VICTOR BARRON.
I wish every foreign and domestic
spinner, cotton future operator and gen
eral public eould have attended the bixg
rally held at the old City Auditorium
and heard and seen just exactly what
did happen and digested the spirit of
confidence and determination that
sparkled from the eyes of all in the
audience .
Some of the State’s most able speak
ers in short arm jabs landed a decisive
blow to the Vpears' mills and foreign
spinners’ solar plexus, and at ‘the same
ee R e S A S
Lime removed the glue from the eyes of
some of those at the ineeting, sending
them home with utmost confidence in
the future and a determination to fight
out this battle with those who have
challenged their rights to have a say-#o
in the price of cotton, and who, at the
onpenue of the entire South's buslmnl
future, would gobble up the fruits of
their hard labor. rob them of their
children's education keep the roads a
rosy hue of clay, make them live in half
built houses and keep real comforts of
life out of their reach ana make this
great South a sea of business stagnation
as a memorial for their returning sons
from the blood-soaked battlefields of
Europe. ! |
No, Mr. Farmer, business man and
lover of the South, show your business
sagacity and prove your Southern grit
by cn.rlx?n‘ out the pledge you have
made. Never before in history has it
been so vital that YOU hold your cot
ton, cut your ncrea‘fe and diversirg;rto
the limit. If {ou 0 just those three
thln‘chl you will insure complete triumph
in e biggest fight since we licked
Germany thus keeping the wheels of all
businesses in full operation and bring
to the entire South the most wonderful
era of prolperit{ ever shone upon the
face of the earth. The biggest oppor
tunfty in history lies in your hands—
do with it as vour conscience directs.
Elders Makes Stirring Speech.
State Senator H. H. Elders delivered a
most eloquent appeal for extensive di
~ersification and a continuance of the
present holding movement on a stronger
scale than ever. He vigorously attacked
gambling on the cotton exchanges and
raned some of the State banks. .
n the midst of his address he fairly
velled that if every county in the South
will appoint a commitice and see to it
that every farmer will lock horns and
stand together in this critical time and
reduce the acreage from last year's
acreage of 37,073,000 to 25,000,000 in 1915,
by the first of September cotton will be
commanding at least 40 or 50 cents a
pound.
He said by that time all peace docu
ments will have beeh signed and gfi!l be
ratified by the United States nate,
and that this alone would send the sta
ple to such prices.
| “I urge every farmer, business man
{ and banker te stand by J. J. Brown in
i this fight,” he said. ""There are so many
i farmers, I am sorry to say, who are so
denseiy stupid they don't appreciate the
work being done by the State Agricul
tural Department, but Mr. Brown is
using every ounce of his strength to
win _this fignt for the farmers. He
sho#ld be highly commended.
“It looks like after the war closed
everything under the sun was done by
the milis and future cotten gamblers to
send prices down to disaster levels.”
Urges $300,000,000 for Cotton.
Mr. Eilders got hot under the collar
when he told of the recent appropria
tions by the Government of hundreds of
millions of dollars to feed Eurcpe and
buxh the 1915 wheat crop at $2.20 a
bushel and the appropriation of $500,-
000,000 revolving fund for the railroads.
“Why, it's a dead loss to the Govern
ment, and we Southern men have to
pay our part in these enormous ex
penditures.
“What is the Government doing for
the Southern farmer? Nothing. But it
easily could appropriate $300,000,000 to
buy cotton with and not lose a single
copper.
“1 don’t mean to criticize the Govern
ment. I'm for it. I've worked for it,
and no man will do more for it than I;
but 1 believe that the Government could
not put its money in a better commodity,
or spend it for 3 better cause, than by
voting a fund of $300,000,000 for the
purchase of a certain amount of cot
ton, thus sustaining the price at a fair
and just price that the South may not
suffer great business interruption. It

C T. Owens, .lglcnltural fleld agent
for the Georgia ilroad, attended the
meeting and informed the writer that
in South Georgia more land will be
plantedgin tobacco than ever before,
owing Po the fancy prices and ready
market for it. He said there will be a
great acreage in sweet potatoes and that
potato-curing houses were being erect
ed in all sections of the State.

T. M. Paulk, an Irwin County farm
er, said that the main job Georgta had
on its hands this year was to hold the
colored farmer—renters—down on the
cotton acreage; that he understood
many of them in South Georgia were go- }
ing to plant from 20 to 30 acres to the
plow whereas not more than 8 or 10
acres should be pla:ue.d to the plow,
.
_ Lem B. Jackson, director of the
State's Marketing Bureau, assured the
farmers that the bureau this year will
devote every resource to provide ready
markets for all diversified crops. .
| “There will be a demand for all food
and feed products produced htis year,”
he said, *“There's absolutely no chance
of over-supplying food and feedstuffs,
owing to the fact that we must not only
feed ourselves, but furnish enormous
quantities of food and feed to Europe
for a long time to come.”
Mr, Jackson said that in Illinoig and
several ¢ther corn-growing States, but
especially the former, full three-fourths
of the land heretofore planted in corn
will be cultivated in wheat this year,
owing to the fact that the Government
has guaranteed $2.20 a bushel thig year.
‘“This should make corn one of the
leading crops this year, because every
gection of the country that can will raise
wheat, cutting out corn oats, etc.” he
further ‘commented
‘“Therefore, it is almost a certainty
that corn this year will be scarce and
high. Georgia should not only grow
all the corn it needs but raise such a
crop that it will be able to have a big
surplus to sell to other sections.”

The newspaper men fromt Atlanta
were most cordially greeted by those '
attending the meeting and given a unan
imous rising vote of thanks in appre
ciation of their work in helping organ
ize the holding movement and general
efforts in urning a reduction in this
year's acreage.

Demand at P €acCe I able
1 The man with the hoe has broken the silence of the centuries. Almost every dis
patch from Paris emphasizes the fact that the most potent voice in the reconstruction of
the world after the great war is*that of labor. It is speaking at the peace table itself.
The laboring forces of almost every country are making demands. What every Amer
ican, be he employer or employee, desires to know is what demands American labor is
making and should make at the conference.
To answer this question, THE LITERARY DIGEST has asked the editors of
journals voicing various phases of labor opinion in this country to give it their opinions,
and the result is published in this week's LITERARY DIGEST, dated February Bth,
together with e demands of English, Freanch, Belgian, and other labor leaders.
These spokesmen for organized labor have very clear ideas as to what ought to be done
in Paris and Bern, and there is no doubt that this highly informative article will be
widely read and discust.
