MARIETTA, GA., JANUARY 3,.1913 g WASHINGTON LETTER, m s o - Washington City, : December 80, 1912, Congress will reconvene Thursday and one of the first things to happen will be the valedictory of Senator Joe Bailey, of Texas. ; It will be a notable occasion. Bailey is to retire and it is said that immediately after his speech he will forward his resignation to the Governor of Texas. His term will not expire until March 3rd, but he pre fers to anticipate the end of his polit ical career. : * * * - Bailey is probably the most hyil liant man in the Senate, and yet the Democrats will not lose anything when he retires. Why? Because Bailey, somehow, lacks quglifications that are necessary to make a man use ful as a Senator. He got mixed up with the Standard Oil people and has figured in political scandals, whether justly or unjustly I will not under take to say, but it cast a shadow} over him and he has never since pos-l sessed the‘ full confidence of his fel-l Jow Democrats. - * * * I have thought that of all wrecks there is no wreck like the wreck of a man, and when I contemplate the brilliant Texan I feel it is pitiful that his career should have ended as it has. I am told he has a stock farm in Kentucky worth $250,000 and 1 have no idea he will have to borrow money to get home on. ® * * * The other day in the Senate there was a bill up appropriating $5,000 toward a monument to Pocahontas. Bailey arose in his place and poked fun at the proposition. He said it would soon be so that it would be no more hcnor to have a monument than to have a seat in the Senate. The re fleetion on the body of which he wasa member was not a jest. He meant it. A glant in physical size and in intel lect, having felt the comfort and lu.\-’ ‘ury of easy money, it seemed redicu lous that men should plod for the public welfare and he could not con seal his contempt for those about him w’m were s 0 small as to do such a thing. * & b »* \Yhat a wonderful man Bailey , weould have been if he had been made | ¥ike Ben Hill. : | . How proud the South wuul(rlm\'ol Been to have had him as part of her galaxy in the Senate. l “Nothing more polished or eloquent hag been said by any man in twonty’ !:;'n than the speeches of Bailey. Hé™is an crator whose natural lm\"“i 5 ers could have ‘‘moved the stones of Rome to rise and mutiny”’. But he lacked consecration to a noble pur pose and his eloquence is but the red and blue fire of a bursting roeket, o+ * » * " I suppose Bailey will be employed’ by some big corporation and easily! get seven or eight times the saluryl paid a United States Senator. It is a‘ !ac/b that business pays better than | -politics; that is, it pays better thanl m politics.

In the first place, it is from a citizen of Marietta and can be thoroughly relied upon. In the second place, it indisputably proves that‘ Doan’s Kidney Pills do their work ‘thoroughly and not temporarily. Read ‘this carefully: Mrs. Frank C. Sanges, 307 Cherokee St., Marietta, Ga., says: ‘I publicly testified to the merit of Doan’s Kidney Pills three years ago and I can again endorse them today. The great bene fit a member of my family received from this remedy has been permanent, but the person to whom I refer, still takes Doan’s Kidney Pills occasionally as a sort of a kidney tonic.”’ For sale by all dealers.

In the face of about the hottest competition to which a poultryman was ever up against in a big Southern show H. A. Black, of Cartersville, took first pen with his white Orpington at the Atlanta show this week, thus demon strating what intelligent and personal attention will do for the poultry fancier, In competition with Mr. Black were such big Orpington specialists as Asa Candler with his expensive equipment and high-salaried employes to help him raise chickens to compete for the blue ribbons of Southern poultry shows. Another competitor in the white Orpington class was the famous Cook farm of New Jersey, whose expensive birds had been groomed for months just for this contest. But, meanwhile, Mr. Black had been doing some grooming too—and he had the advantage of being able to give his personal attention to them, The big fellow took the first prizes for the individual birds, but when he took the ribbon for the first pen Mr. Black won the highest award for the best all-around “‘tamily” of Orping tons—which is really the important thing in raising chickens, so far as real usefulness in raising the quality of the breed in general is concerned. Mr. Black is to be congratulated on showing what can be done with poultry right here in Cartersville—which ex perts say is the center of just about the best section in the south for raising chickens. 9 Couldn’t Walk! “I wsed to be troubled with a weakness peculiar to women,” writes Mrs. Anna Jones, of Kenny, 111. “For nearly a year, I could not walk, without holding my sides. I tried several different doctors, bu’ I grew worse. Finally, our druggist advised Cardui for my complaint. I was so thin, my weight was 115. Now, I weigh 163, and I am never sick. I ride horseback as good as ever. I am in fine health at 52 years.” TAKE We have thousands of such letters, and more are arriving daily.

' Dee. 18, 1912, i DEAR Boys: Going across the Poto i mac river, then through a long tunnel you arrive in the city of Washington, D. C. You then go up some steps intO} the large waiting room, with the seats running lengthways the room, a lunch room at one end. All the seats have megaphones on the ends, a thing that looks like a graphophone horn, that call out the trains. Then yon go out the doors and see the Columbus monument which stands in front of the depot, If you go up Delaware avenue you will pass the Sen ate office building where all the Sena tors have their offices. Next, the Cap itol with long columus and steps, in the front a park, in the back of the park the Congressional library. In the libra ry they have the posts carved in fruits and flowers. - You go up to the visitors gallery and look down in the middle. ‘They have 2 man at a desk to hand out books. You go up and write the name of the book you want and if its not in that room he sticks the name in a chute and it goes all over the place to another clerk and if he has the book he puts it in the chute and sends it back to the other clerk. The walls have pictures tinted on them and are.very pretty. Leaving the library you go over to the Washington monument, get in the ele vator and start up. It takes you 15 minutes to get to the top. Then you look out 555 ft. above the City. Itisa very pretty sight. You see theriver and the steamboats. If you look at an auto it looks like a toy and people look like mere dots. The -cars don’t have the trolleys up over the cars but under ground in the center of the track. You pay as you enter the cars, six tickets can be purchased for 25c. 1 will close my letter now as it will be continued next week. Yours truly, A Cobb County Boy. | r MI-O-NA STOMACH | TABLETS Drive Out Gas and Sourness at Once and End Dyspepsia.

Jack London, the novelist, hag ho boed it for the fun of the thing, and many are the yarns he tells of that wild, free life. “On an evening of early summer,” Mr. London said at a dinner in Los Angeles, “lI sat with a group of ho boes on a qulet ‘dump,’ cooking a to mato-can of coffee. As we chewed our punk—punk is bread, you know—in the twilight a hobo on my left side said: “‘Hey, Nosey, left off yvour under wear yet? “Nosey, who was cutting up stumps for his pipe, answered: “*Well, I shed a doormat last week, but I'm still wearin’ a couple o’ yards o' carpet.’” ; RERORR gi" !H’ OLUNUIA DEYCLUTY VALUABLE GOTTON % State Entomologist Ready for 801 l Weevii and Black Root—Other Important Work. Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—By cross ing Egyptian long staple cotton with & domestic variety called Dixie, the Georgia State Department of Ento mology has produced an entirely new variety, as yet unnamed, which will meet boll weevil conditions, by matur- Ing early, and will at the same time resist the black root or wilt disease. This new variety. of cotton, which has been developed under the diree: tion ‘of State Entomologist B. Lee Worsham, is an intermediate long sta ple cotton, that will bring a price far in advance of the ordinary upland or short staple cotton. It is of a kind that will bring about twenty cents a pound on the regular market, under normal conditions. After a long and careful series of )experlments, under the direction of 'Mr. Worsham, this cotton has been ’produoed with a combination of qual 3lties never before possessed by any one variety. It has three elements which are of hundred-fold value for the very reason that they are com bined; it meets boll weevil conditions, it resists the wilt disease, and will grow practically anywhere in the cot ton belt, whereas Sea Island cotton, the only other long staple variety in this country, is confined to a narrow belt near the sea coast. This new strain of cotton was evolved to meet the peculiar situation which will develop in Georgia when ‘the boll weevil crosses qver from Ala ‘bama next year. All specialists had ‘agreed that the best way to combat Iboll weevil was to use early matur- Ing varieties, but in Georgia it was found that the varieties which ma tured early were peculiarly suscepti ble to black root and would only es cape one pest tobe ruined by another. In the light of this situation, the very great importance of the State Board’s contribution to the situation becomes at once apparent, More Seed Later. I For the time being the supply of seed for this new strain will be small, | as the State Department has only about an acre of it, but this is to be distributed in small quantities to farmers who will take a careful inter est in the development of the new variety and will cultivate it in ac cordance with rules furnished by the department. The seed will naturally be distributed first in that section of the state where the boll weevil will first strike, that is to say, in‘ Southwestern Georgia. In the section which includes some twenty-five coun ties next to the Alabama line, Mr. Worsham has already organized cot ton-breeding clubs,,j"'eomposed of plan ters who will co-operate with the de partment in bringing about the fur ther development of the new cotton. The department, under Mr. Wor sham's guidance, is engaged in a continual and aggressive warfare against crop and fruit pests and dis eases of all kinds. These diseases, it‘ is estimated, would cost Georgia’'s crops $25,000,000 or $30,000,000 a year* if no efforts were made to controll them. - The Red Spider Scourge. By Mr. Worsham has issued a num-l ber of bulletins, dealing with various plant diseases and pests, which have' attracted attention all over the coun try. His red spider bulletin in colors is considered an authority on the sub ject. These bulletins are sent free | to all applicants, whether Georgians or not. Mr. Worsham's experimeutsl have made possible the practical con-. trol of the red spider problem. An-l other free bulletin is about to be is-! sued, dealing with the mwole cricket. ’ It is the controlling of plant dis eases and insects that has made pos gsible the growing of perfect fruit in Georgia. Through their work it is now possible to control at small ex pense the San Jose scale, peach cur culio, coddling moth of the apple, | brown rot, apple sc¢ab and other orch ard diseases, In addition all nurse ries and growing stocks are inspected once a year, and a strict examina tion is made of all nursery stock im ported from abroad. Mr. Worsham is now planning for his agricultural institutes for next yvear. He heolds about one hundred annually in connection with the State College of Agriculture, and some twenty-five of his own, dealing solely with entomological subjects. In Feb ruary he will organize cotton clubs in 25 counties immediately east of ose already organized against the 01l weevil, citizen of Georgia\l ‘s at liberEV“‘l on the d% r assis &= ﬁ he © Q%k/) Rl & & e Grape Royal i e LAY Lim i(‘ No ) Home’s (Where the Heart Is.
