Raising Home Supplies “We have time and again tried to impress upon our readers the necessity of raising home sup plies, especially for the present year,” says the Farmers’ Union News. “The man who plants his entire crop in cotton is the man who will be seriously injur ed by so doing. The battle for better prices in cotton is not yet over. We have won advan tageous ground in many respects, but the enemy will not surrender nor have they left the field in disorder. They have only re tired to prepare for a more ter riffic engagement. The members of the Farmers’ Union, as well as the farmers who are not members must prepare for one of the hard est fought battles that has ever been known in the commercial world. This will be a battle of thousands of farmers with mil lions of bales of cotton, against hundreds of speculators with him dreds of millions of dollars back ing them. The conflicts in which Napoleon was the champion, and the great battles between the Confederate and Union armies, were but mere training, the mere preparation for battle, as compar ed with the conflict that is now confronting the Southern farmer. Shall we appeal to you in vain? We trust not. We hope that the farmers of the South in the past t'qur years have learned u lesson which will not be forgotten by them, and that they will be equal to the situation confronting them the coming season and be prepar ed.” To Superintendents of M. E. Sunday Schools in Chattooga Co. I have been thinking of trying to organize a County Sunday school convention since I attended the state Sunday Sshool Conven tion last summer at Athens, Ga, and saw the many benefits to be derived. I would appreciate a personal letter from each superintendent in the county so we could arrange to met at the most convenient place and talk the matter over. 1 feel that Sunday school work is the greatest work for the ad vancement of church and the Lord’s cause and should be im proved in this county and I know of nothing so good as a conven tion to meet and exchange views and improve Sunday school work Yours truly, E. A. Harrison. Rev. A. F. Mahan of Trion was among the visitors here Tuesday. i Truth and Quality appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life .nd arc euential to permanent .ueccM and creditable .landing. Accor ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the beet of personal and family laxative, is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieve, the internal organs on which it acta without any debilitating after effect, and »ithout having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acta pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and ita component parts are known to and approved by physicians, a. it is free from all objection able substances. To get ita beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and for sale by all leading drug- I** A Corn Growing Country. From all sections of the South comes the news that farmers will this year plant more corn than ever before in the history of the cotton belt, says an exchange. In many sections corn-growing con tests have been started, notably in South Georgia. Some of these contests are fostered by newspa pers, while, in a number of in stances, county divisions of the Farmers’ Union have the matter in charge. What is one of the most en couraging .signs of this step on the part of the farmers of the South is the fact that it bespeaks that a season of prosperity is ahead for them. For they will, if they raise their own feedstuffs, save the money that they would have to send away, And that saved money can be used at home for improvements, for tin- neces saries of life and for luxuries. There are several reasons why more acreage will be given to corn this year, One is that cot ton sold low last year. Another is that for many years past farm ers of advanced ideas have been teaching their brothers that it was false economy to plant cotton to buy corn to feed stock to raise more cotton to buy corn and these lessons are beginning to be listened to and heeded. If the season is half good for the crop, and there is as much planted as reports say, there will be plenty of Southern corn next fall, and Southern farmers will not be dependent upon Wsetern grown grain for their supply. Then the money obtained for the cotton will be ‘‘velvet,” and the Southern farmer appreciates best of all what that means. “Whenever I reach any deter mination with reference to my future, which in any sense con cerns the people of Georgia, I will very promptly take them in to my confidence by public an nouncement.” In addition to be ing a tacit announcement that he has outlined no definite political cinrie for the future, the forego ing statement, given out by Gov ernor Smith constitutes a very interesting portion of an em phatic denial of ; recent article appearing in the Macon Tele graph to the el feet that he will either be the next governor ol Georgia or will name the man whi is,” The article in question was sent out from Atlanta and quoted the governor as having said to a friend, “I will either be the next governor of Georgia, or I will name him. It looks as it Ive got to be a candidate again. I n less all sides join 'ii making Mui phy Handler Mr. Brown’s succes sor I will be in the race.” The governor classes the interview as a “fake” and says that while he can not take time to contradict all newspaper stories about him, he feels called upon to deny the rumor appearing in the 1 ele graph. That one single provision of the Payne tariff lull the one im posing a tariff ot 20 per cent up on potash salts will cost the farmers of this state approxi mately $400,000 annually, is the opinion of Commissioner of Ag riculture Thomas G. Hudson, as expressed in a general discussion of the proposition to revise the tariff. "A careful study of the Payne tariff bill,” said Mr. Hud son, “has convinced me that it it should go thru, that instead of lightening the burdens of the fanner, it will serve to increase them. The feature of the bill which proposes to place a taritt of 20 per eent upon potash salts will cost the farmers of this state nearly $400,000 annually. Os the potash salts annually consum ed in the United States, about 98 or 99 per cent is imported from Germany. Potash is a con stituent of all complete fertil izers and the burden ot the taritt would fall upon the farmers It would hit the farmers of this state hardest because Georgia is the largest consumer of commer cial fertilizers in the I lilted States."- Atlanta Georgian.
