Reviewing old troubles is a sure way of recruiting new ones. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S CAST O R I A The Value of Good Digestion Is easy to figure if you know what your stomach is worth. Kodol keeps the stomach at par value, by insuring good digestion. Kodol cures Dyspepsia. Kodol insures good digestion by absolutely duplicating Nature’s normal process, in perfectly digest ing all food taken into the stom ach. . While Kodol Is doing this, the stomach is resting—and becoming strong and healthy. A strong and healthy stomach guarantees a Bound and active brain. The man with a sound stomach —a stomach that is doing for the body just what Nature intended it to do —is the man who is always prepared for any emergency. He Is “there with the goods.” The man with a sick stomach, is a man sick all over. When the stomach is irritated by undigested food, the blood and heart are di rectly affected. Then dullness, un natural sleepiness, sick-headaches, vertigo and fainting spells, and even serious brain trouble develop. Kodol will prevent these. Spurring the stomach and brain FOR SALE BY ALL DRUGGIST. Blacks and Whites in The South. The Georgian has been asked to give the exact proportion between blacks and whites in the South. This cannot be done except up on the returns of the last decen nial census, which was taken in 1900; but according to the of : ficial records the figures at the incoming of the new century were as follows: Whites Negroes. Alabama 1,001,152 827,307 Arkansas 944,580 36,866 Dist. of Col. 101,532 86,702 Florida 297,333 230,730 Georgia 1,181,294 1,034,813 Kentucky 1,862,309 284,706 Louisiana 729,612 650,804 Maryland 925,424 235,064 Mississippi 641,200 907,630 Missouri 2,944,843 161,234 N.

Ducktown Case Proves a Benefit Atlanta, Ga.—lt is truly sel dom that court litigation results ir great benefit to not only plaintiff and defendant, but to the public at large, but such has been the ease with the suit instituted and fought successfully by the state of Georgia and known as the Ducktown copper fume ease. It is conservatively estimated that the farmers of Georgia alone will save from two to three million dollars a year by reason of the suit, a re sult, however, that was not aim ed at when it was begun. Not only this but the primary result desired has been practically ob tained. Furthermore t h a t copper companies which fought the ease are making more money than before it was begun and in directly by reason of it, the val ue of their property is said to have been greatly enhanced as a consequence. The copper fume suits were in stituted by Attorney General J. C. Hart soon after he went into the office he now holds, about seven years ago. They were i> the United States court, and of a character little known to Amer ican courts. They were brought by the state on the ground that fumes issuing from the smeltering plants of the Ducktown Cppper Company and other companies, just across the Georgia line in Tennessee, were doing great injury to vegetation on the land of the adjoining Georgia counties. In fact, the effect of the strong acids dis tributed into the air in the shape of fumes was calculated to*i,'.ke the surrounding country a bar ren waste because the acids meant death to practically all forms of vegetation. It was on behalf of the property owners, whose farms were being turned into deserts that the state began the suits. The defendant compa nies being in another state made it necesssary to sue in the United States Supreme court. The suits were in the courts for several years before they were finally decided, attorneys for the copper companies fight ing the state inch by inch. Mean time, they took steps to allay the evil complained of. Big smoke stacks were erected so that the fumes might be discharged in the air at such a high altitude that they would be of little ef fect on t’ne surface. Scientists were employed to make investi gations looking to the utilization of the acids the fumes contained. The predominant component of the fumes was known to be sul phuric acid, an ingredient em ployed to large extent in the manufacture of commercial fer tilizers. At that time practical ly all of the acid used in Amer ica, amounting io thousands of tons annually, was being import ed from Europe, where it is dug directly from mines. It was found that the acid es caping from the smelting plants could be utilized. These facts, together with the general business value of the cop per plants to that part of the state, were advanced before the supreme court handed down a decision sustaining the conten tions of Judge Hart. The court held that common law principles gave the state of Georgia the right to demand the closing down of the copper plants but took occasion to say that the state might find it an economic mistake to insist upon such rights The copper companies claimed that the greater part of the fumes wonld be controlled, if not utilized, so that surrounding farms would not suffer. On this statement, the state agreed that the decree, which was in its power to exact, be withhold in definitely, that time might de velop whether or not the pledges of the companies could or would be kept. The state was given the right to demand the decree upon giving thirty days notice. The copper companies are said to have soon demonstrated that the large amout of sulphuric acid wasted in the fumes could be utilized To do so entailed the expenditure of more than $1,000,- 000 on a plant. It is now in working order, and is turning out about 1,500 tons of the acid daily. | The acid is sold to fertilizers manufacturers at about $3.50 a 1 ton, while the imported article brings about SB. This is said to be the reason for the big drop in fertilizer prices during the pres ent season. The acid turn'd out .;t Duck town is but a bagatelle compar ed to the possibilities in sight. Judge Hart, whose fight in the courts resulted >n the discovery and the development of the pro cess by which it is utilized, is eon fident that within a few years no more sulphuric acid will be imported into America, but that all that’s needed will be produc ed here. The output of the Ducktown plants will be greatly increased as the plants are perfected. It is also said that the utiliza tion of the fumes will do much towards developing the copper industry in North Georgia. There are said to be thousands of acres of copper lands in Georgia com taining an almost inexhaustible supply of ore as good as that at Ducktown. The ore is of a low grade, which accounts for the fact that there has been little de velopment. English investors are said to have already purchased options on a great deal of North Geor gia land preparatory to estab lishing extensive mines. They have been waiting to see if the production of acid is a success, in order that they may be assur ed of got d earnings. Owing to the unusual develop ments growing out of the, litiga tion, Attorney General Hart has for the past two years resisted all efforts to close down the smelting plants. The fume ques tion has been drawn into poli tics in North Georgia, and a larg< faction of the people there have been demanding that the state call on the federal supreme, court to enforce the decree closing the mines. An appeal to the attor ney general failed, and two ap- | peals to the legislature ’nave met a similar fate. The governor has declined to interfere. After win ning his case, Judge Hart de clines Hie actual reward of vic tory. He looks upon the litigation as the most profitable the state ever undertook, though the act ual results were wholly unexpect ed at the beginning.
