Oil In South Georgia.
A writer in the Atlanta Con¬
stitution presents an interesting
article on “Oil m Southwest Geor¬
gia,” the article bfliDg inspired
by the recent discovery of abun¬
dant indications of the existence
of petroleum oil in this immediate
■ection of the state, at a depth of
about 900 feet.
The writer in the Constitution
notes the fact that the artesian wel 1
now being bored in Albany brought
to the surface a substance that
was unquestionably crude petro*
leum, but owing to the fact that
the object in sinking the well was
to find water, not oil, the matter
has not been deffinitely settled.
The writer discuses at some length
the geological formations in Ala¬
bama and Georgia, calling atten¬
tion to the fact that certain Strata
to be found nowhere else in the
southeastern states exist in cer
taiu'parts of Alabama and Flori¬
da, and in Stewart, Terrell
Dougherty, Baker and Decatur
counties, Georgia being more
pronounced in Dougherty than
elsewhere. It is the writer’s opin¬
ion that the oil which will finally
be brought to the surface in this
section come from the Alabama
coal fields, moving in the direc¬
tion of the sea through the blue
marl stratum, the existence of
which in this section ha* been
conclusively demonstrated. Ef¬
forts to locate the oil reservoirs
near the coal fields have failed,
and it is reasonable to suppose,
therefore, that they will be found
between the fields and the coast.
At any rate, a great many persons
feel satisfied that it is only a
question of a short time wh««
Southwest Georgia will have a
gusher of the first class.—Albany
Herald.

“I have lately been much troubled
with dyspepsia, belchiug and sour
Btomach,” writes Mrs. M. 8. Mead,
leading pharmacist of Attleboro,

thing without suffering several
hours, My clerk suggested that I
try Kodal Dyspepsia Cure which I
did with most happy results. I
have had no more trouble and when
one can go to eating mince pie,
cheese, candy and nuts after well a
time, their digestion must be pretty
good. I endorse Kodal Dyspepsia

Good Advice to Young Men.
The following epigrammatical
periods are from President Por¬
ter. Yale College: “Young men,
you are the architects of your
own fortunes. Rely on your own
strength of body and soul. Take
for your star self-reliance, In
scribe on your banner: ‘Luck is
a fool. Pluck is a hero.’ Don’t
take too much advice. Keep at
the helm and steer your own
ship, and remember that the art
of commanding is to take a fair
share of the work. Think well of
yourftelf. Strike out. Assume
your own position. Put potatoes
in a cart, go over a rough road,
and the small ones go to the bot¬
tom. Rise above the envious and
jealous. Fire above the mark
you intend to hit. Energy, in¬
vincible determination, with a
right motive, are the levers that
move the world. Don’t swear.
Don’t deceive. Don’t marry un¬
til you can support a wife. Be
civil. Read the papers. Adver¬
tise y*ur business. Make money
and do good with it. Lor# your
God and f#llow men. Love truth
and virtue. Love your country
and obey its laws.”

Fertilizer .Sales.
The Bale of commercial fertili¬
zers is generally regarded as an
indicator of what the cotton crop
or acrekge is going to be. Large
sales are taken to indicate a large
acreage, or vice versa.
Here in Georgia the system
adopted by the Commissioner of
Agriculture for the inspection and
tagging of fertilizers sold in the
state is such that he can estimate
pretty closely by the first of Feb¬
ruary what the amount of fertili¬
zers to be used f#r the year’s crop
will be. We see it stated from
Atlanta that so far th# sales of
guano are 60,OtX) tons behind the
sales this time last year. Ac¬
cordingly Mr. Stevens thinks
there will not be as much com¬
mercial fertilizers used this year
as usual.
As most of the commercial fer¬
tilizers bought by the farmers are
u#ed for cotton, the indications
seeui to be that there is to be a
reduction of the cotton acreage
this year.—Albany Herald.

\ £, ZBostwick, Cashier,
5 Vf j{. Crosby, jtss’t Caahier,
It is the opinion of the Buena
Vista Patriot that the time is not
far distant when “cotton seed
will not sell at less than 50 cents
per bushel, and perhaps higher.
When that day comes farmers can
affort to sell all their cotton seed
except for planting purposes, pro¬
vided they keep up the fertility of
their lands by planting peas.
Then by building up their lands
to a bale to the acre, and less
acreB and restricting production
to nine or ten million bales, cot¬
ton will always bring 10 to 12
cents and the seed from a bale $15
to $20, making an acre of land
produce from $(»5 to $75. This is
no fancy picture, and will come
in the next few years if farmers
will only reduce acreage.” There
is no doubt but that cotton seed
is soon destined to play a very
important part in the commercial
world, and in the main the
Patriot’s proposition is correct.
