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- Duffie Progress. 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.— Moultrie Observer. ■ ———— 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 gia 1,533, Louisiana 155, Mississ- i ippi 625, North Carolina 1,245,1 South Carolina 709, Tennessee 1,571, Texas 1,745 and Virginia 950.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. Ito Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the /Tr BioMC*rs of 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.

Medicine sent anvwhere. Address JOHN T. PA I’TERSON, Atlanta. Ga 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.

Scoggins of Sum merville visited relatives here IA Simple Remedy! c ■ Cardui is a purely vegetable extract, a simple, I non-intoxicating remedy, recommended to girls and I ■ women, of all ages, for womanly pains, irregularity, ■ ■ falling feelings, nervousness, weakness, and anyß | other form of sickness, peculiar to females. pcAnoiii | It Win Help You g Mrs. A. C. Beaver, of Unicoi, Route No. 1, Mar-B H bleton, Tenn., writes: “I suffered with bearing-fae B down pains, feet swelled, pain in right side, headache, ■ ■ pains in shoulders, nervous palpitation, and other troubles I cannot mention, but I took Wine of Cardui ■ ■ and have found it the best medicine I ever used, E for female troubles.” Try Cardui. || 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 Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbus, Ohio, and we will send some prepaid. last week. Mr. and Mrs. Lester Anderson and children spent Sunday with , relatives at Haywood. Miss Mamie Mills spent Friday night with Mrs. Jack Dunaway i of Armuehee. ! Mr. Parks Owens and sister, Miss Charlsie, of Sand Mountain spent Saturday night and Sunday with relatives here. BLUE BIRD.
