tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by a proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to
hold urine ami scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. It stands the highest be
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
onc-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and a book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,

any mistake, but remember the name,

you something in place of Swamp-Root—
if you do you will be disappointed.

Are You

Much sickness is due to

Yours may be. If it is,
you cannot get well until
you restore nerve strength
Your nervous system is
nature’s power house; the
organs of your body get
their power from it. If
the power is not there, the
action of the organs is

COTTON CENSUS BULLETIN
The United States produced 66
per cent, of the world’s cotton,
or little over 13,000.000 net weight
bales last year, according to a
census bulletin. The production
of the next largest cotton grow
ing country, British India, was
2,914,000; of Egypt, 1,275,000, and
of Russian Central Asia, 846,000
net weight bales.
The American production last
year, expressed in standard 500
pound bales, including linters,
was 13,587,306 bales.
It is the third largest crop ever
raised, having been exceeded on
ly in 1906 ami 1904. It is 978,-
572 bales larger than the average
of the last five yeas. It was
19.4 per cent., or 2,211,845 larger
than the crop of 1907, but sold
for $20,000,000 less, bringing SSBB
814.828. Cotton seed added. $92,-
416,128 and made the total value
of the crop $681,230,956. This
is nearly a third as much as the
value of all the grain crops of
the country, $2,378,(XX),000.
The cotton crop employed 6,-
000,000 farmers and farm laborer
and 1,(XX),000 other persons in
this country, and 2,000,000 in oth
er countries The goods made
from American cotton here and
abroad are estimated at $2,000,-
000,000 a year.
Os the total American crop
■ I.'St year 6,232,128 bales, or 45.9
' per cent came from west of the
Mississippi. The share of the
’ southwestern states was 58 per
1 cent in the great cotton year
• 1906. Texas produced 28.8 per
■ eent of all American cotton in
■ 1908 and 31.5 per cent in 1908.
The Texas crop last year was 3,-
913,084.
Georgia ranked next to Texas
■'"hut _year, producing 1,980,077
, bales, the largest crop ever
' grown in t.li,e state. Mississippi
■ came third, .with 1,704,972 bales,
■ and Alabama produced 1 370,140,
' or just a trifle more than one-
tenth of the whole crop. Louis
iana fell far behind, raising less
than one-half the crop of 1906
and 30 per cent less than in 1907.
Oklahoma! also showed a de
crease of 23 per cent compared
with 1906, and 20 per cent from
1907. The causes of the falling
off are not given.
These figures tell their own
■ story and require no comment.
They show that the diversifica
tion of southern crops has not
I lessened the position of cotton
' among American farm products.
They indicate that the cotton
. crop is being confined more
closely than before to the lands
■ best adapted to the fiber and that
! other crops have come to take
‘ its place permanently in other
states. Already nearly 9,000,000
1 bales are raised in four states
alone.
Growth of Peanut Industry.
Washington, D. C.—The value of
the peanut crop in the United
States last year was $12,-
(XX),(XX). The value of the pea
nut, both as a money crop and for
feeding on the farm, according
to experts of the department of
agriculture, render it sepeeially
desirable as a part of a plan of
rotation wherever conditions
suitable to its development exist.
In recent years many new lines
of consumption have been found.
In addition to the great quantity
of peanuts sold in the shell each
year, thousands of bushels are
used in the manufacture of con
fections.
When a man is in love, it is
awfully hard to interest him in

It is suprising how many

THE COST OF EDUCATION
One of the greatest of ail
American industries is the busi
ness of educating the boys and
the girls. The conduct of this
business costs as much as $320,-
000,(XX) a year. It takes $240,-
000,000 to pay the teachers and
I $80,000,000 each year to provide
the buildings. Over one-fifth of
the entire population of the Uni
ted States is enrolled in the
schools. The number of teachers
employed in the common schools
in the school year ended June,
1908, was 475,000. Os these 370,-
000 were women. The average
school year is now much longer
than in former times, being 150
days. When we consider the
volume of books, of stationery,
of school supplies for all this ar
my of 19.000,000 school children,
we are impressed with the enor
mous economical and commercial
; importance of the school system.
In a speech to normal school
students the other day, President
Taft said: “There is no higher
profession in which self-sacrifice
is manifested more clearly and in
which more good can be done
than that of the teacher, and I
■ hope you will continue it
I through life.”—Albany Herald.
What Diversified Farming Means

i tion means trucking, writes B.
, Harris, of Pendleton, S. C., to the
, Progressive Farmer. Such farm
. ers have the wrong conception of
. it. It means this kind of farming
First. Make ample provision
to plant plenty of wheat. In all
parts of the south where it can b
. grown successfully and profitably
we should supply all home needs
, and have a few barrels of flour
to sell.
• Second. Sow oats to supply
home markets for feed and seed.
Third. It has been demonstrat
ed recently that in all portions
i>f the south on our uplands that
there has been grown 50 to 1(H)
bushes of corn Ito tli6 acre. Make
> corn.
Fifth. It has also been demon
strated that in any section of the
south pork can be raised cheaper
than in the western states.
Sixth. We can also raise horses
and mules as cheap here.
Seventh. Dairying can be made
as profitable here in the south
as in any country.
The above system 1 call diver
sified agriculture, which means
success for the southern farmer.

GOOD ROADS FOR THE SOUTH
Realizing that the farmers are
the most in need of improved
highways, owing to the great
amount of travel that is required
cf them, in transporting their
crops to market, as well as the
supplies needed for consumption, I
over the public road, it has been
my desire as a leader in the good
roads movement to enlist the sym |
pathy of the farmers and secure;
their co-operation and support in |
united effort to secure addition
al legislation as well as an up-to
date system of road working and
road building.
This systematic method of road
| building can only be accomplish
ed by a central supervisor or
such as New York has establish
ed a state highway commission,
. with a state highway engineer,
who is to be vested with such au-
I thority, from time to time, as to
. place him in control of the coun
ty road authorities. In this way
the greatest amount of road work
■ can be accomplished with the ex-
■ penditures at hand. Roads are
i expensive to build and maintain.
• With Georgia’s 57,203 miles of
public roads, 55,603 miles are un
improved. To make first-class
he roads, 55,603 miles are unim
proved. To make first-class
’ roads out of the unimproved it
would cost approximately $278,-
000,000. While years will come
' and go before all of Georgia’s
roads are improved, nevertheless,
more and more money is being
' spent yearly to extend improve
ments. In 1904 Georgia expend
' ed $2,080,872.33 on her roads, a
great deal more is being spent
> today. Ten per cent of this
1 annual expenditure in the way
' of non-political state highway de
partment composed of men of
engineering skill and experienced
road builders would not only save
the state thousands of dollars
annually, but by establishing in
connection therewith a bureau of
surveying, which shall lay out all
public roads, avoiding hills,
breams and shortening routes as
much as possible, as well as to
map out routes from county seat
to county seat over the state,
they would thus establish roads
which a» the wealth of the coun
ties and state permit, improved
roads could be built, and a defi
nite object would be attained.
As it is today, some counties
have very good systems of road
■ working, while others proceed up
on methods of antebellum origin,
simply patching the road once or
twice a year, so people can trav-
1 el once in a while. Every estab
’ lishment or business firm of
large proportions has a system of
, management which not only saves
money but permits expansion.
Why is it not more important
i that a state, which annually
. spends millions for road work.
, should not have a system of high
. way management? The good
. roads club of Georgia has been
investigating the subject thor
oughly and has outlined a bill
to establish such a state highway
commission, which it hopes to
have before the public in a short
, time, and ask the consideration,
and if possible, the support ot
the friends of this movement to
improve Georgia's highways.
