The Cause of Many

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-

T' by it—heart dis

the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake l>y
taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing mention reading this generous
otfer in this paper. Don’t make any
mistake, but remember the name,Swamp-

1 COMMON ECONOMIC ERROR
Farmers Should Abandon the “Ad
vance System” and Buy for Cash
For many years it has been the
custom of Southern farmers to make
their crop upon the “advance sys
tem” and while this has been regard
ed as an economic error on the side
or the farmer, by many merchants it
has been thought that it was a very
profitable way of buying cotton
The farmer realized that as a
matter of safety it was better to
make the food consumed by his fam
ily and his stock upon the farm rath
er than to purchase it and especially
when he had to promise payment out
of a crop which had not as yet been
made I have been watching this
phase of country life in the South
for many years and have come to the
conclusion that the “advance sys
tem” is just as great a mistake on
the part of the merchant as it is on
the part of the farmer, for the fol
lowing reasons:
First, the merchant takes great
risks, which, of course, he tries to
cover by increased charges. But
even though these charges are in
creased, the staples of life are notsuch
articles as a high percentage of profit
1 will adhere to, and the merchant is
, practically trading gold for a promise
’ to pay. If the crop falls, he is oblig
; ed to carry and carry and carry and
■ possibly may ultimately, as in thous-
• ands of cases, be obliged to take the
■ farm, for which ha has no use, and
under boll weavll conditions is diffi-
• cult to handle profitably upon a ten
; ant system.
• Under a cash system there will be
■ a great reduction in the sales of
■ some staple foods such as bacon, po
. tatoes, beans, lard, vegetables, cannec
goods, hay, corn, etc., all articles
; that carry low profits. The farmer it
' rarely a hoarder of money and if he
saves two hundred dollars or more
by producing all his food supplies at
, home he has that much more to
spend when his crop is made, and it
' is cash.
; Under a cash system the farmer
' will buy with his surplus more dry
> goods, clothing, shoes, furniture, etc.,
for his family, better teams, farm im
plements, wagons, buggies, etc., on
which there is a much greater profit
’ for the merchant than on staple ar
' tides of food. The merchant can
1 turn his money in thirty days, in
stead of a year. Ten per cent clear
i profit turned monthly is better than
120 per cent gain received annually.
Some of the farmers increased in
come goes into permanent improve
ment to enable the farmer to produce
more and spend more annually.
Again, there is something about
raising cotton, tobacco, etc., to pay
a debt, that saps the vitality of the
farmer and effects the quality of
tillage. It really lowers the grade of
farming. If upon the other hand the
merchants will join with us in urging
farmers to raise all their food sup
plies and try to produce by better til
lage double the crop per acre they
now produce, the result as it effects
the merchant will be this:
All business will soon be on a cash
basis and the volume will be three or
four times as largo from the farmers
alone. The advent of more money
will bring diversified industries
among the farmers and eventually
will attract manufactures to the mar
ket towns.
If there are idle farms in the
county instead of calling meetings
for the purpose of raising funds to
secure imigratlon, call meetings to
encourage the farmers who know the
country and are loyal to it, to uni
versally adopt the following plan.
First, provide their own food sup
plies from the farm. Second double
the average product on every acre
under cultivation and let each work
er on the farm by the use of bet
ter teams and tools, till three times
as many acres as at present, not in
the one crop but in a variety of dl
versified and profitable crops. This
would cause an immediate demand
for more land and would provide the
money to pay for it. This makes
every man on the farm more than six
times the industrial power he now is
and gives him a love of the farm.
This is better than to leave him in
discouragement and secure immi-
I grants to come and buy him out.
1 should not speak so positively,
, only 1 have obsen ed for a quarter of
a century that where the Southern
merchants have changed from an
I "advance system” to a cash system.
: they have prospered very much more
than in former years and the number
lof failures is immensely less. Os
course, it is not meant that there I
should be no credits, but practically
there should be little necessity for
them until the crop is actually ready
for the harvest, then trade becomes a
cash transaction. Or better still the
farmer can get his money from the
bank and pay cash in all cases
if there is a lack of ready money.
The advance system bears down
upon the cotton farmer with special
hardship. His crop is either sold at
once or is sorted to the gin and the
warehouse so as to secure loans.
If the cotton farmer is not forced to
sell to raise money or pay debts he
will store bls crop on his farm
and market at his leisure, which is
in the interests of all parties.
It appears to me, therefore, that the
farmer will immeasurely gain when
he produces what he hitherto bought
in the way ofliving He is not com
pelled to sell his crop immediately up
on request on the harvest. When he
does sell he trades for cash. The
greater amount of money he has is
very helpful to the family but the
stimulus to his self respect is per
haps the most important item to be
considered. The merchant prospers
by the greater volume of business an
by the quick return of his money.
It seems to me that these points
should be urged upon all the people.

MOUNTAIN SLIDING.
Hawaiian Small Boys Simply “Dro#
Down the Edge of the Scenery."
Water sports are by no means the
only vigorous athletics Indulged in by
the boys of Hawaii. Mountain climb
ing Is a favorite pastime, for there are
peaks 4,000 feet high within easy walk
ing distance of any part of Honolulu,
and on the Island of Hawaii there are
two mountains fully 14,000 feet in
height. Not infrequently the Honolulu
schools give picnics on the mountain
sides that the pupils may gather land
shells. It is on these excursions in
search of land shells that the Hawaiian
schoolboys revel in the once national
sport, mountain sliding.
A very steep mountain side la se
lected, where the gram Is long and
sloping downward. Every one gathers
his own tl leaves. The tl leaf is some
thing like the banana leaf, but not near
ly so long. With a bunch of tl leaves
in his band the first boy steps to the
edge of the side, grasps the leaves by
the stems in both hands, places the
leafy part under him and sits down,
gives himself a start and drops down
the edge of the scenery like a flash. I
was assured that it was an easy mat
ter to regulate the speed of descent by
merely grasping the tl stems firmly
and Utting them upward, this acting as
a brake. I longed for the thrill of drop
ping down over the edge of a moun
tain and upon my brief sled of tl leaves
began the descent I went like the
wind. It seemed as though my breath
would be taken away from me or that
I would plunge head over heels, to be
dashed to pieces among the trees be
low. I thought of my brake and drew
up on the tt leaves with all my might
and came up with a Jerk that Jarred
every bone in my body. There I sat
looking downward almost perpendicu
larly, held In position only by a tew
leaves resting on the smooth, slippery
grass, but the sliding grass Is nearly a
foot long, and It Is only after it has
been repeatedly alldden over and beat
en down that it approaches perfection
in the eyes of the Hawaiian small boy
and sometimes leads to accidents.
When, for instance, the thin layer of tl
leaves wears out beneath the slide a
gentle tug at the stalks parts the sled
and sends the slider whizzing down
ward In a most uncomfortable and un
graceful manner, all arms and legs.
Lucky Is the victim of such an accident
If he Is not stopped In his downward
career by the trunk of a tree.—St.
Nicholas.
A Sprained Ankle.
As a rule a man will feel well satis
fied if he can hobble around on crutch
es in two or three weeks after sprain
ing his ankle, and it is often two or
three months before he is fully re
covered. This is an unnecessary loss
of time, as by applying Chamberlain’s
Liniment, as directed, a cure may as
a rule l>e effected in less than one
week’s time, and in many cases within
three days. Sold by Summerville

FIGHTING BLACK ROOT.
A Seed Secured Which Is Said to
Be Immune to the Disease.
Atlanta, Ga. —In an effort to
thwart the ravages being made '
upon the cotton crop of Georgia
each year by black root and cot- j
ton wilt, which are declared to be
really as bad as anthracnos, the
department of entomology under
the direction of State Entomolo
gist E. E. Worsham has begun a
systematic distribution of im
mune seed which it is believed
will in time effectually stamp out
these diseases.
During the season just closed
several tons of these seed which
do not contract the disease named
were grown in the vicinities of
Vienna and Americus, and since
ginning the seed have been sent
to this department for distribu
tion. Here they are measured
out in packages of from 1 to 10
pounds each, and are being given
free to the planters in the infest
ed belt, which covers nearly all of
South Georgia. »
These immune seed are sown
by the planters and cultivated
until a sufficient number have
been secured to plant a crop.
In speaking of this work Prof.
Worsham said:
“We believe we have found a
seed that is immune to black
root and cotton wilt diseases, and
so far our experiments have
proven successful. These seed
are distributed in small pack
ages to the planters in order that
they may raise more for planting,
and in this way drive out these
diseases with the immune seed.
“The cotton crop of the state,
its back-bone, is to be preserved
at all hazards. Every part of the
growing plant has become useful.
There is perhaps greater devel
opment being shown in the uses
of cotton seed than any other
part. This year that crop has
brought thousands of dollars to
the Georgia planters, and the
products delivered from it have
done much toward fattening his
cattle, to which the cotton seed
meal and hulls are fed, and will
enrich his lands when used as a
commercial fertilizer in the
Spring.
“The results from the use of
these immune seed will be watch
ed with interest throughout the
state.”
Tuns For Tune.
Frederick the Great made generous
presents to all musicians except flute
players. He played the flute remark
ably well himself. A famous flutist
once asked permission to play to the
king, hoping that Frederick would
show his appreciation of his skill by
some valuable gift. Frederick listened
attentively while be played a difficult
piece. "You play very well,” he said,
“and I will give you a proof of my
satisfaction.”
So saying he left the room. The mu
sician waited, guessing at the probable
nature of the proof. Presently the
king returned with his own flute and
played the same piece. Then he bade
his visitor "Goad day,” saying, “I have
had the pleasure of hearing you. and it
was only fair that you should hear
me.”
Always Keeps a
Bottle in the House
"About ten days before Christmas
I got my hand hurt so badly that I
had to stop work right in the busy
time o fthe year,’ says Mr. Milton
Wheeler, 2100 Morris Ave. Birming
ham. Ala. "At first I thought I
would have to have my hand taken
off. but someone told me to get a
bottle of Sloan’s Liniment and that
would do the work. The Liniment
cured my hand and I gladly recom
mend it to everyone.”
Mr. J. E. Matthews, proprietor of
St. James Hotel, Corning, Ark., says: i
"My finger was greatly inflamed i
from a fish sling and doctors pro-1
nounced it blood poisoning. I used >
several applications of Sloan's Lin-l
iment and it cured me all right. I
will always keep a bottle of
Sloan’s Liniment in my house.”
Mr. J. P. Evans of Mt. Airy, Ga.,
says—" After being afflicted for three,
years with rheumatism. I used Slaon |
Liniment, and was cured sound and i
well, and am glad to say I haven t,
been troubled with rheumatism since.
My leg was badly swolen from my hip ,
to my knee. One half a bottle took
the pain and swelling out.”
