The people of Georgia last year
spent sixteen million dollars lor
commercial fertilizers. I hink
of it! near eight dollars for ev
ery man, woman and child in the
state. And the report goes out
that the consumption this year
will be as great as that of Last
year, and perhajis greater. 01
course, lands should be fertilized,
but when one state spends six
ten million dollars for commercial
fertilizers isn’t it carrying the
matter too far? Can we stand
up under it? Could not a large
per cent of this fertilizer have
been produced at home? —Mc-

The evils of gambling in cotton
and grain and other agricultural
products as now carried on in tin
great exchanges of the country,
were forcefully presented to the
agricultural committee of the
house recently by representatives
of the Farmers’ Union. In 1908
it was estimated that 1(M),(MM),000
bal ea were sold on the
while the actual cotton produced
was about. 13,000, (MM) bales.
A farmer said to the Olwerv
er thia morning that he had seen
statistics showing that only sev
en per cent, of the hog meat us
ed in Georgia is raised in the
State. He wisely suggested that
when Georgia becomes an ex
porter of meat, eggs, chickens,
turkeys and butter she will be
one of the richest states in the
union. Getting money and keep
ing it is what makes a state rich
just as it is with individuals.—

A decision of importance and
interest to all the planters of
the State was recently handed
down by the Supreme Court. It
confirms the constitutionality of
the act of 1901 as amended in
1903, by which it is made a crim
inal and civil offense lor a farm
hand , tenant or cropper under
contract to be lured away before
such contract expires. The law
was designed to especially protect
farmers who hire labor under eon
tract, only to lose it through in
ducements offered by otherss de
siring it.
There are now in operation in
the southern states nine thousand
eight hundred and seventy-four
rural routes, or about 24 per cent
of the total number of routes in
operation, which cover 237,46!
miles of roads. These routes
which cost the government a to
tal of $8,549,218 per annum to
maintain, are divided among the
states as follows: Alabama 870.
Arkansas 344, Florida 140, Geor-1

TO ENLARGE PLANT
Plans Being Made for Doubling
the Capacity of the Sum
ville Cotten Mills.
Since the South Carolina par
ties backed down on their prop
osition to furnish half the capital
for building a $250,000 cotton
mill here, a movement has been
stared to enlarge the plant of
tne Summerville Cotton Mills.
It is proposed to add SIOO,OOO to
the capital stock and double the
capacity of the mill.
A number of those interested
held a meeting at the store of
Thompson Hiles & Co. last
Wednesday and it was decided to
go to work and see if the necessa
ry stock could be raised.
The following subscription com
mittee was appointed: Messrs.
E. W. Sturdivant, B. 11. Edmond
soa, C. P. Neal, Dr. O. A. Selman,
and Dr. R. D. Jones.
This committee has already seen
a large number of those who sub
scribed for stock in the new mill
and nearly every one has readily
agreed to transfer his stock. We
are informed that over $40,000 of
the stock has been raised.
As soon as court is over the sub
script ic-n committee will get down
to work in earnest and from the
encouragement already received
it is believed that the funds for
the enlargement of the plant can
be raised in a short time.
The parties here who were be
hind the movement to build a new
mill are in no way responsible
for the failure of the plans to
materialize. The amount of stock
that was agreed on to be raised
here was guaranteed, but the
jtlier crowd failed to come with
their part and the plans fell
through.
Joe Campbell Commits Suicide,
Joe Campbell, son of C. C.
Campbell, of Haywood district,
committed suicide late Monday
after noon by blowing out his
brains w ith a revolver. He left
a note saying he was tired of liv
ng and hoped God would forgive
him for the deed. He was
22 years old and unmarried.

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?
If people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would be no
Use for medicine. Every doctor knows
this. So do other well-informed people.
One thing more. When a person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines will
cure disease. Medicines may palliate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers of Nature to resist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse the efforts of the
human body to right Itself against de
rangements. This is the most that med
icine can do.
A man accidentally puts his finger in
the fire. Instinctively he wets bis
finger in his mouth, then blows on it
for the cooling effect. This is no cure.
He knows it very well. But it makes it
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or indigestion. The only
rational cure is to eat correctly. Yet if
a palliative is at hand the pains of indi
gestion can l>o mitigated, the throes of
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. It simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through riglit living.
Take Peruna, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is a cure for dyspepsia.
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
to perform its function properly. Peru
na will increase the flow of digestive
fluids, without which digestion cannot
be carried on at all. It will increase the
relish of food, the appetite.
It is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
are so many people who either will not
or do not know how to eat correctly that
a tremendous amount of good can be
done by the wise use of Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function of diges
tion very lazily. Such a stomach allows
the food to remain undigested for some
time after it is swallowed. This leads
to fermentation of the food. Sour stom
ach is the result. This goes on week
after week, until the blood is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. r lis
condition is very apt to produce rheum
atism.
It is not claimed that Peruna will cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum
atism but correct living. But it is
claimed that Peruna v ill assist a badly
•bused stomach to .perform its work.

AT ALL DRUG STORES
If a person would correct his habits,
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly the stomach would
right itself, the blood would rid itself of
the poison, and everything would be
right. But as said before there are a
multitude of people who will not or can
not adopt right methods of living. To
such people Peruna is a boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach to
do its work. This prevents ferments*
tion of the food, brings about normal
digestion, and all the train of ills that
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Peruna is helpful to
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.
Peruna does not cure, but it assists the
powers of Nature to bring about a cure.
The whip does not increase the power
of the horse to pull a load, but judi
ciously used it stimulates the horse to
use his powers at the right time, with
out which he could not have pulled the
load.
This illustrates the effect of Peruna,
or any other good remedy upon the sys
tem. Taken at the right time, it calls
forth the powers of the human system
to meet the en roachments of disease,
and thus cuts short, if not entirely ends,
the diseased action.
No one should ever attempt to substi
tute medicine in the place of right liv
ing. In the end such an attempt will
prove a disaster. But an occasional use
of the right medicine at the right time
is a godsend, and no reasonable person
will undertake to deny it.
Those who know how to use Peruna
find it of untold value. By and by the
world will get wise enough so that
through correct living no medicine at
all will be needed. But that time has
not arrived. In the meantime, while
the world is approaching that perfec
tion in which all medicine will be elim
inated, Peruna is a handy remedy to
have in the house.
Slight derangements of tho stomach;
slight catarrhal attacks of the liver, the
throat, bronchial tubes, lungs or bow
els; these attacks are sure to lead to
grave diseases, and can be averted by
the |pdicious use of Peruna.
Wouldn’t you like to read a few tin
solicited testimonials from people who
have used Peruna, and who stand ready
to confirm the above statements con
cerning it. If so, address tho Peruna
