The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths. There i» a disease prevailing in thia ennnt r v most dangerous la-cause so decep- 3 Still Dlood win at* 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.

Don’t make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, and don't let a dealer sell you something in place of Swamp-Root— if you do you will be disappointed. ■ . . .x EXCURSION RATES Via Central of Georgia Railway.

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 your troubles. It is suprising how many friends a man has—until he real ly needs one. Women Who ar« Envied.

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 , Many farmers thing diversifies 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.

There is nothing that a man can ' think of that will do more to help the people than good roads. 1 which make it easy to travel, easy to bring goods home, easy to haul your produce and manu factures to market, easy to go to school and church and easy to avoid many bitter thoughts that bad roads cause.” Many of our citizens are drifting towards Bright’s disease by neglect ing symptoms of kidney and bladder trouble which Foley’s Kidney Reme dy will quickly cure.

I 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.
