jALOMEL SICKENS! IT'S HORRIBLE!
DON'T STAY BILIOUS, CONSTIPATED
I guarantee “Dodson’s Liver Tone” will give you the best
Liver and Bowel cleansing you ever had.
Calnmri makes you sick; you lose a
day's work. Calomel is quicksilver
and it salivates; calomel injures your
liver.
Ts you are bilious; feel lazy, slug
gish and all knocked out, if your
bowels are constipated and your head
aches or stomach is sour, just take a
spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver
Tone instead of using sickening, sali
vating calomel. Dodson's Liver Tone
is real liver medicine. You'll know
it next morning because you will wake
up feeling fine, your liver will be
working, your headache and dizziness
gone, your stomach will he sweet and
bowels regular. You will feel like
working. You’ll be cheerful; full of
vigor and ambition.

Splendid Five Days Education;
a Land oi Plenty is Indicated
Results of Diversified Fanning in Two Counties Afford Mag
nificent Object Lessons and Answer the Question, “What
Shall Take the Place of Cotton When the Acreage is Cut?”
Fine Hogs Shown---Fair Opened Tuesday With Unique
Parade of Farm Wagons Loaded With Agricultural Pro
ducts---Thursday is “Augusta Day.”
Washington, Ga, —The Wilkes-Lin
coln County Fair lias been called "the
most spendid five days educational
course" possible for the people of this
section to take. It is all of that, the
more especially from an agricultural
standpoint but in other ways as well.
Not on,/ are the progressive farmers
who have become self-sustaining
through diversified crops and the corn
club boys the educators, but the no
men of town and country and the girls
of the canning clubs are likewise
educators; and the Wilkes-Lincoln
County Flair may be rightly called the
school room of all these excellent
teachers.
Tuesday at noon the third annual
agricultural, horticultural and live
stock show of the association began
and will continue through Saturday.
At the hour of opening, when follow
ing the address of Dr. Andrew M.
Soule, dean of the State College of
Agriculture, the band struck up
“Dixie,” the immense main building
was filled to its capacity, every avail
able space upstairs and downstairs
occupied by exhibits in the several de
partments.
Fair Opened With Parade.
Decorated farm wagons loaded with
agricultural products of the two
counties, live stock under halter, mer
chants' floats and decorated rigs form
ed a long parade which, beginning at
the fair»grounds, passed through the
city streets and back to the grounds,
where on the race track In front of
the grandstand the awards were made
when the fair was formally opened.
The three farm wagons from the
Hillside Farm, operated by Mr. W. M.
Hill-—one loaded with 26 pumpkins
weighing in the aggregate of 1.284
pounds and the largest of which tip
ped the scales at 113 pounds, one with
pigs, corn and strings of beans ar.,l
hearing the slogan “Hog and Hominy
and "Pork and Beans,” and one rep
resenting the gravary, the float as
suming the shape of a house surround
ed by sheafs of oats and banked with
sacks of oats, wheat, barley and rye,
took first prize. The Celeste Club with
a splendid display was awarded sec

ond prize, and Mr. J. L. Burdett,
third prize.
All of the farm wagon displays were
creditable, indicating a land of plenty,
particularly. Mr. J. G. Wright’s—a
wagon filled with hogs and corn and
bearing the slogan "Hog and Hominy
is Still My Theme;” that from the
Fairfield Farm, sheafs of oats tied with
red, white and blue ribbon surround
ing a mound of red, yellow and white
corn; the Northeast Wilkes Club—a
wagon filled with baled lay, oats,
pumpkins, sweet potatoes, sugarcane,
hams and shoulders with live 'possums
and featuring "Possum and Taters;"
and Mr. Cliff McLean’s wagon loaded
down with Puland-China hogs and
Pigs.
A dozen beautifully decorated rigs
driven by pretty women followed tne
farm wagons. Airs. G. T. Anthony, Miss
Ida Alexander and Mrs. J. C. Fanning
were awarded three prizes.
A Question and the Answer,
At one of the entrances to the main
building stands a bale of cotton raised
on the Hillside Farm. A placard at
tached to the bale reads:
"Worth 15 cents. Cost 12% cents tj
make it. Selling today at 6 cents.
What will we do to make our farms
self-sustaining?”
A pertinent question. But the answer
is at hand. Mr. Hill’s splendid farm
products display is the answer. It
as complete as the fair itself, though
but one of the many displays of its
kind.
Mr. Hill has been farming only for
the past seven years, but he has been
farming rather than merely growing
cotton. He has only 93 aeres, near
Washington. A visit to the Wilkes-Lin
coin Fair will convince anyone that
he makes these 93 acres produce. In
addition to his cotton, Mr. Hill’s dis
play includes bales of German millet,
oats and vetch, burr clover, pea hull,
wheat straw, pea vine, oat straw and
peanut hay, haled shucks and stover,
corn and many fine varieties, yams,
Irish potatoes, peas, sugarcane, pea
nuts, popcorn, pumpkins, soy beans,
turnips, sorghum, oats, millet, home
grown wheat and flour ground from It,
home-ground meal, sacks of rye and
barley, apples, pears and melons, even
brooms, the straw of which was grown
and the brooms manufactured at Hill- ,
side Farm.
What Mr. Hill's downstairs displav
does not include in the way of house
products wil be found in Mrs. Hill's
display on the second floor, where a '
wide variety of vegetables and canned I
fruits and presetves and pickles are |
shown in great abundance.
Splendid Yields.
In the farm products display from
the Tyrone district of Wilkes county
are two .bales of cotton —960 pounds
of lint —made on one acre by Mr. V O.
Darden, who also shows with pride
some corn, of which he made SS
bushels to the acre. Mr. Herbert
Hackney, in the same district, shows
corn which yielded 123 2-7 bushels to
the acre. ,
The. Northeast Wilkes Club, the
Celeste Club, the Fast Wilkes Club,'
the Red Oak Farm, Mr. T. IV Wooten,
Mr. W. 1,. Candler and the Red Hill
harm, of which Mr. H. G. Garrard is
proprietor, arc nmong other exhibitors
in the farm products department, all
with splendid showings.
The Women’s Department.
T ljeentiro second floor of the spa -
cious exhibits building is given over
to tile women of the two counties who
have, as l have said, demonstrated
that they are as good if not better
educators than the men.
Mrs. E. A. Harnett is manager of
the domestic science department, in
which canned goods displays, preser
ves, jellies and pickles, bread, cakes
and home-made candies, salads, cat
sups, sauces and vinegars, cooked ,
meats, butter and syrups, the splen- I
did work of hundreds of housewives,
are shown. In this department Mrs.
G. T. Anthony displays more than 1,
000 cans of pears, besides other fruits '
canned tit home, and there are several
collections in which there are more
than half that quantity of canned
fruits and vegetables.
The Girls' Canning Club, the dis
play so large it requires a separate
department, makes a magnificent
showing with thousands upon thous
ands of cans of tomatoes, peachcr.,
beans, and jars of fruits, [tickles and
preserves. Mrs. Rosalie Cllatt is man
ager of this excellent department.
Under the supervision of Miss Flora
Holliday the ladies’ fancy work de
partment is a little exposition in itself
and a most creditable one; and in the
art department the oil paintings, wa
ter colors, pastelles. pen and ink work
and hand-painted china arc attracting
attention. Some excellent work Is
shown.
Hogs to Go With Hominy.
Mr. Cliff McLean has brought to
the Wilkes-Lincoln Fair a fine Poland
China boar, 22 1-2 months old, weigh
ing 600 pounds, and a prize winning
sow and pigs two months old. which
are attracting more attention for the
reason that Poland Chinas have not
been raised to any extent in this sec
tion. Mr. McLean, who recently came
here from the west, has been raising
hogs for 16 years and at present is
specializing on Poland China.
Mr. Austin Barrett is showing his
Rerkshires, a boar, sow and eight
pigs.
Mr. F. W. Derrlcott has an exhibition
a Berkshire sow and four pigs four
months old, and several hogs of mixed
strain, Berkshire and Chester.
All the swine shown at the fair Is
registered stock.
The finest bull in Wilkes county 'a
exhibited by Mr. Maxwell MoGee.Of
Aberdeen English stock, the bull
weighs 1,378 pounds.
Races Every Day.
The blooded stock of this section Is at.
the fair. On Thursday, which will be
the big day, a horse show will be held.
Every afternon the races on the
splendid new half mile track will
prove one of the most popular features
of this big week in Washington.
The poultry show Is complete. This
department Is under the supervision
of Mr. F. K. Rogers.
A Striking Contrast.
In striking contrast to the farm
wagons loaded with the fat of a fer
tile land which made up the parade
; Tuesday morning, one rickety wagon
drawn by a bony, poky mule and
driven by an old darkey wearing
patched clothes, was loaded with a
single bale of cotton. Attached to
the bale was a placard, the wording
of which pointed the moral to adorn
this tale. It read:
"I raise all cotton. Marne Ed Bar-

and my mule.”
It may be mentioned in passing that
Mr. Barnett, who is at the head of tha
Wilkes-Lincoln County Fair, and Mr.
Lindsey are supply merchants of
Washington, and that while the old
darkey may have been unconscious of
the fact that he was being made file
humble instrument to nail home a
vital truth as lie drove his mule ill
the parade along with his "white
folks," he fitted exactly into the part
cast for liini by thbso who Induced
him to illustrate a most important
point.
Indicates Land of Plenty.
The man who raises all cotton has
no place at the Wilkes-Lincoln Fair.
The agricultural show is far bette
this year, I am informed, than in
preceding years. Farmers of Wilkes
and Lincoln counties have been pros
pering and now, in spite of low-price
cotton and financial depression, are In
excellent condition, self-sustaining,
with plenty of foodstuffs and plenty of
feedstuffs and . pantries and smoke
houses filled with home products and
home raised meats, if this fair is a
true indication of conditions as they
prevail hereabouts.
If such a (ondltlon is not general
throughout Wilkes and Lincoln coun
ties. the fair is serving a most excel
lent purpose. It is hardly poslhle that
of all the farmers of the two coun
ties only those who are making these
splendid exhibits are In position (o
do so. But showing, nevertheless,
what can be accomplished through di
versified farming, showing what can
be made to take the place of cotton
at least until after the European war
Is ended and normal conditions have
! been restored throughout the world,
t the fair is the finest and the most
effectual object lesson imaginable, and
as has been said, “the most splendid
| five days educational course" possible
I for the people of this section to lake.
I Moreover, the attendance Is good,
long strings of buggies, wagons and
teams of all kinds were pouring into
Washington before the fair opened
Tuesday morning.
A Vital Factor.
More than $2,500 Is offered in pro
mlnms, the bankers and merchants of
Washington co-operating heartily
with the fair association, of which Mr.
Ed Barnett is president, Mr. L. H.
Ward, vice-president; Mr. O A. Oreon,
treasurer, and Mr .1. Luke Burdett,
secretary. Mr. Burdett is also gener.l
manager of the fair and deserves
much credit for what he has accomp
lished in directing the gathering to
gether of the magnificent displays to
he seen here. The Wilkes-Lincoln
Fair 's generally recognized here ns
a vital factor In the promotion of Im
proved agriculture.
Home Coming Week,
In addition to the fair this Is Home
f’orriing Week for former residents of
Washington and Wilkes county. Ev
erybody has been asked to Invite
friends and relatives to come hack
home and enjoy tile merrymaking, for
this Is likewise gala week and many
pleasurable events have been plan
ned. Each nigtit during fair week old
fashioned tournaments will be held In
the glare of cotton-boll bon fires. The
free attractions at the fair grounds,
not the least of which Is the "flying
machine,” are attractive, entertaining
