Some few are stil) planting corn
and there will be a good many peas
sowed yet. If we had sorghum seed
we could sow on all through July
and make good feed if the seasons
continue. But should we have a
drouth now nothing we are sowing or
planting would do much and our crop
could be cut very short by a dry
spell. I notice one good thing in
July government report on the av
erage of corn it is larger by 7,218,-
000 acres than the estimate last
year. And there is still old wheat
left over from last year's crop to the
amount of 15.062,00 bushels. With
all this old wheat on hand and the
new crop now in I think flour will
soon be down to the old price again.
I hear from good authority that R. J.
Day, this side of Trion, is selling
good flour at. $2.30 per hundred. Now
it looks to me that if one merchant
could sell at that price all could. If
they do not come to it it will not be
long until we will be done work and
we will drive up and see Mr. Day
and make it dark for some who are
selling flour to us from $2.85 to
$2.95 per hundred, and they claim to
sell nearly at cost. Well, it may be
that Mr. Day buys and sells so much
that he can buy cheaper than our
merchants, and if he does he can af
ford to sell cheap. So let that be as
i may, we do not want to pass Lyerly
or leave L. W. Millican or J. L. Jones
behind. We want to patronize our
own merchants but at the same time
we want to do the very best we can
for ourselves and families. It stands
us as farmers to use all the economy
possible to live. All we ask is an
equal chance and we will make our
living and support our merchant
and all others who do not farm. But
we can not do it if we are compell
ed to pay unjust prices for what we
have to buy..

FARMERS SAVE $1 50
PER BARREL ON FLOUR.
According to President J. B. Lee,
of the Georgia Farmers’ Union, his
organization has completed arrange
ments whereby it can ship and is al
ready shipping a carload of flour into
the state and a half carload into Ala
bama daily to be distributed to its
members at $1.50 per barrel less
than the market price.
This has been accomplished by spe
cial arrangements with milling inter
ests of the Northwest. The grain is
purchased directly from the farmer
by the union, sent to the mill, and
from there distributed to the South
ern consumers. In this way the mid
dle man, Mr. Lee says, is entirely
eliminated.
Mr. Lee is enthusiastic over the
result of his effort to secure cheaper
flour for union farmers and expects
at an early date, to increase his ship
ments. All the flour handled, he
says, is whole wheat flour of the
best quality, and retails in the mar
ket at $7,25 per barrel. He says
the grain growers are now getting
13 cents a bushel more for their pro
duct than when the arrangement was
first made.
NEARLY 5,000 CONVICTS
AT WORK ON THE ROADS.
Atlanta, Ga. —The report of the
prison commission now in the
hands of the members of the
General Assembly shows that
there were in the custody of the
state on July 1, 4,982 convicts, of
which 2.424 are misdemeanor and
2,558 are felonies, but of this last
there should be deducted 259 con
fined at the state farm at Milledge
ville, 191 being males and 68 fe
males. From the number of misde
meanors. there should be deducted
20 at the state farm.
Deducting these 279 from the to
tal 4,892 felony and misdemeanor
convicts leave the number of 4,613
convicts now being worked on the
roads of the state.
Os the felonies there are 755 for
life, five for forty years, six for thir
ty, seven for 25, 215 for twenty
years, 141 for fifteen years, 245 for
ten years, 129 for seven years and
299 for five years.
Since this report was compiled
there have been several pardons
granted by Gov. Smith the last twen
ty five days of his term, and a few
additions that may have come from
the courts since then.
A Good Definition.
In one of the New York schools
several of the children in one class
failed on the definition of the word
bachelor. The teacher to impress the
meaning of the word on the minds of
tlie pupils, told the class to look up
the word that night and come pre
pared with a good definition the next
day.
When the question was taken up
at the next session the first little
girl who was asked to define the
word answered with a confident and
smiling air, “a bachelor is a very
happy man.”
The teacher grew interested. “Are
you sure that is correct?” she ask
ed the little one.
"Oh, yes,” was the prompt reply.
"Father told me so."

COMPULSORY EDUCATION BILL

Fifteen-Cent Cotton.
They are talking about fifteen-cent
cotton on ti e floor of the Savannah
cotton exchange. Predictions are free
ly made there that before Decmeber
15 cents a pound will be paid for
the staple. A farmer who will spend
an hour or more talking to the cot
ton men of Savannah will go home
convinced that he is going to get
enough for his crop this year to pay
off all his back debts and reduce the
size of the mortgage bn his farm.
With the Government forecasting a
poor cctton crop, with heavy rains
throughout the cotton belt at a criti
cal time, and with the stock from
last year's crop considerably reduced
as compared to former years, there
seems nothing for the price to do but
advance. If it does not advance
there is going to be much dis
appointment, from the planter
straight through to the exporter. If
the South can get 15 cents a pound
for cotton this season it will help
some to meet the high prices for ne
cessities which the Government tar
iff barons seem determined Amer
icans shall pay.—Savannah Press.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an imflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound, ot imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the resuit, and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus
ed by Catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for
