The Exceptional Equipment of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the scientific attainments of its chemists have rendered possible the production of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, in all of its excellence, by obtaining the pure medic inal principles of plants known to act most beneficially and combining them most skillfully, in the right proportions, with its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of California Figs. As there is only one genuine Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna and as the gen uine is manufactured by an original method known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the genuine to get its beneficial effects. A knowledge of the above facts enables one to decline imitations or to return them if, upon viewing the package, the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found printed on the front thereof.

She had numbered little more than a decade of winters and summers when she gave her heart to God and united with the Sardis Baptist church from which she was buried August 25, 1909. She was baptised and re ceived into the church by the late Mr. Glazner to whom she gave a warm friendship unbroken to the day of his death. Most of her childhood was spent in her home at Price's bridge, gath ering wild flowers from the grassy banks of Chattooga river and in corporating their beauty and fra grance into her life and character, or lying 'neath the waving branches of the old oaks, listening to the carol of the birds and the ripple of the waters, and weaving their music into her soul to be reproduced in later years, - in fireside tales for her baby boy. As she grew into girlhood she shed around her associates the sweet influences of these early environ ments. She was a vivacious girl, car rying sunshine wherever she went. Having a very intense nature her pleasures and sorrows were extreme and acute. Tenacious of purpose, she succeeded where most people would fail and suffered keenly when defeat ed in any undertaking. Being both ambitious and fond of reading, she had an unusual store of information. From the time she joined the church her loyalty to her Master found ex pression in service. One of her keen est pleasures was when she could go to the county almshouse, take one of the most afflicted inmates to her home, put her in a cozy room and with her own hands minister to her wants. She knew the blessing of giving—not only presents to friends but gifts to the needy. None of God’s creatures were too humble to claim her service. Pain and suf fering wiped out social and color line. Her feet were as swift to alle viate the suffering of the negroes in her midst as they were to soothe the the pain of her most cultured friend. Verily “her right hand knew not what her left hand did.” Only when time shall be no more and all of earth’s children shall appear before God’s throne and we shall hear the King of Glory say to the redeemed, “In asmuch as ye did it unto the least of these, ye did it unto me,” shall we know how many hungry, naked and sick were made comfortable by her kindness. Her marriage to J. H. Hill in her early womanhood was the consuma tion of a betrothal entered into when she was only a school girl. She was a dutiful and affectionate daugh ter, a loyal and loving wife and moth er, a devoted sister and a true friend. We don’t understand the eclipse that hides our beloved from us and we sigh. “Oh! for the touch of a vanished hand, “And the sound of a voice that is still.” The bereaved husband and one son linger here on the dark side, while the released mother and an other son wait on the bright side of the veil. One sister is left while Mamie has gone to join mother and another sister in the land of cloudless sky. Just a few days before The An cient of Days came out from the wall of mist and beconed our beloved to pass through to the unseen, she clipped the poem, “God Knows Best, from a paper and asked that it be put in her scrap book. I appened the following lines feeling that Mamie would whisper them for our comforts: “If sometime, commingled with life’s wine We find the wormwood and rebel and shrink, Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine Pours out this portion for our lips to drink. If someone we love is lying low Where human kisses cannot reach her face, Oh, don’t blame the loving Father so, But bear your sorrow with obedient grace.” “And you shall shortly know that lengthened breath Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friends, And that sometime the sable pall of death Conceals the fairest boon His love can send. If we could push ajar the gates of life, And stand within and all God’s work ings see, We could interpret all this doubt and strife, And for each mystery could find a key.” MRS. J. F. DAVIS.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1909, BLACKROOT RESISTING COTTON Department of Entomology Has Suc cessfully Grown Resistant Kind. Atlanta, Ga. —Resistant varieties of cotton, which will throw off the dred diseases of black root and an thracnose, so prevalent in this state, have been successfully grown in Georgia this year, and it now seems only a question of time before these two menaces to the cotton crop will be entirely eradicated. Professor A. C. Lewis of the state department of. entomology, in charge of cotton culture, has spent sometime in South Georgia, picking the cotton which has stood the tests, with a view to securing the seed for more widespread dissemina tion next season. In two-score of the most afflicted points in South Georgia, the resistant varieties were , planted by him this spring, and this fall the splendid results are shown by a good stand and multiplicity of well-developed bolls devoid of any disease. The seed from this cotton . will be brought to Atlanta and i from this point distributed to infect led sections of the state in small • quantities next spring, so that these . resistant varieties may be grown and thereafter generally used. It is recalled that at the recent session of the legislature SIO,OOO was appropriated for the purpose of fight , ing the black root, which is costing Georgia hundreds of thousands of dol lars annually. Since the various counties have been orgniazed to be i gin a crusade against thsee diseases and the use of these resistant varie ; ties will be one of the methods used. Not only does black root and an j thracnose destroy the cotton lint, but also the cotton seed itself, a most valuable part of the cotton crop, now, , each year. There are several hun dred cotton oil mills in this state | that consume all the cotton seed mar | keted and, in addition, to giving the . i planter a good price for his cotton i seed, furnish him in return cotton I seed meal, the best and cheapest cat i tie feed to be had; cotton seed oil, I which, in a compound, is rapidly sup I planting hog lard, and, in its refined | state, a condiment for his table that j cannot be surpassed. ■ The success of these resistant varie- I eties of cotton seed will be watched with interest.

Children cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA BULLETIN ON COTTON SOILS Agricultural Department Issues “Fer tilizer for Cotton Soils." Washington, D. C. —Bulletin N 0.62 entitled “Fertilizers for Cotton Soils,’ by Professor Milton Whitney, chief of the bureou of soils, has been is sued by the department of agrcul ture. The purpose of the bulletin is to show what fertilizers are best adap ted to cotton soils and the effect of certain fertilizers on the crop yields of cotton. The bulletin goes into tech nical details of an experiment mad< I in analyzing fertilizers in relation to ' the yields of corps on cotton soils. In the yields crops on cotton soils. lit the preface Professor Whitney says: “In order to establish certain funda mental principles regarding the effect and efficiency of fertilizers on cotton soils. I have had compiled all the available results of plat tests with fertilizers on cotton soils which have been carried out by the experiment stations. It is believed that this mat ter will be of considerable interest tc the farmers of the south.” In summing up Professor Whitney says: “The chances for increase in crop production are greater with two or three fertilizers mixed than with a single substance and a larger increase gives in general a larger financial gain. The increase in yield due to mixtures being approximately equal to the sum of the increases due to indi vidual fertilizers. It appears that tho smaller applications of single fertili zers —manure —have given in general no less an increase than the larger amounts. The increases obtained from the more productive soils based upon the yields of unfertilized plats appears to be no less than from the less productive soils, indicating an equal increase in crops for the same quanity of fertilizers used for the good soils as for the less productive soils. “As the results have been obtained j from a large number of soils with a j considerable range of productivity ov er many years, these general con clusions, besides others of a qualita tive value which can be drawn from the tables, can, in the absence of any more specific knowledge of any par ticular fertilizers, be safely followed as a guide to the immediate selection j of fertilizers for cotton soils.” Money Comes in Bunches to A. A. Chisholm, of Treadwell, N. Y., now. His reason is well worth reading: “For a long time I suffer ed from indigestion, torpid liver, con stipation, nervousness, and general I debility,” he writes. ‘“I couldn’t sleep, had no appetite, nor ambition, grew weaker every day in spite of all medical treatment. i Then used Electric Bitters.

In 1889 the American Agricultur alist’s contest in corn growing, apen to the world, took place. In this contest Captain Zachriah Jordon Drake of Marlboro county, South i Carolina, won the grand prize. The | “Book of Corn” the standard au thority in the United States on corn growing thus tells of this yield: j “From a single acre Mr. Drake l grew 255 bushels of shelled corn, 1,000 of crib-cured corn. Late in i February 1,000 bushels of stable j manure and 500 pounds each of ma nipulated guano, cottonseed meal and kanit were broadcasted on the acre, and then plowed under. Fol lowing the plow 600 bushels of whole cottonseed were strewn in the furrows. A subsoil plow was run through a depth of twelve inches. The land was well harrowed and the rows planted alternately March 2nd, . three and and six feet apart. “An improved strain of the com mon gourd variety of southern white ■ dent corn was planted, five or six kernels being dropped to each foot iof the row. It was planted in the , rows five inches deep but covered ■ only one inch. At the first hoeing ! the plants were thinned to one stalk ; every five or six inches, the missing ; spots replanted. On April 20th the j sixfoot spaces were plowed and a ; mixture of 200 pounds each of gua i no, kanit, cottonseed meal, acid I phosphate and bone were applied and hoed In. On may 15th the three foot spaces were plowed, 300 pounds of nitrate of soda sown and worked ■ in. On may 25th 200 pounds of gua no were applied in the wide spaces. Another application of 500 pounds of guano, cottonseed meal and kai nit was put on June Bth, and 100 pounds nitrate of soda June 11th. The crop was harvested November 25th. It yielded 17,407 pounds of corn in the ear, of which 104 pounds was soft corn. Several tests showed that 100 ponuds of ear corn yielded 62 pounds of shelled corn, which made the yield 254 bushels, 49 pounds of shelled corn at 56 pounds Tickling an the I hroatl “Just a little tickling in the throat!” Is that what t icf. 8 you?

Menlo, Georgia. to the bushel, which, kiln-dried, to contain only 10 per cent, of water, would contain 239 bushels.” Captain Drake’s crop contained 82 per cent, of shelled corn, had 85 per cent, of dry matter in the corn and 87 per cent, of dry matter in the cob. Tho green weight in bushels of shell ed corn was 255 bushels; the crib cured weight 239 bushels, and the chemically-dried weight 217 bush els. The total expenses were $264, and the value of the unexhausted manure $l5B. The net expenses per bushel amounted to 44 cents, and the feeding and manuria] value of the crop was $lB2. In this contest. Alfred Rose of Yates county, N. Y. won second prize, with 213 bushels against Cap tain Drake's 255; George Gardner of Nebraska was third with 171 bushels, and J. Snelling of Barnwell county, S. C., was fourth with 131 bushels. The above extract from the pages of agricultural history shows that southern land will actully beat the very best western land if is han dled right; and it further empha sizes the desirability of iutnesive cul tivation of small tracts as against merely scratching over large tracts and there producing failure as the principal crop.
