ALMS GIVING.
To The Herald:
Most of us are familiar with the
lines “Who glveth himself with his
Bift helps three: Himself, his hungry
neighbor and Me." Comparatively few
seek to understand them. •
The generally accepter idea of
“charity" is alms-giving. When ap
pealed to for asistance the natural
Impulse i& to give, not that giving of
self which a comprehensive study of
each case would demand, but the giv
ing of material aid; instinctively the
hand seeds the purse and aid is given
as carelessly, as thoughtlessly as some
give sugar plains to a child simply to
get rid of him for the time, with no
thought, of possible consequences and
the conscience is salved with the fal
lacy that “it is better to give to many
who are unworthy than let one worthy
go unaided.”
ORGANIZED CHARITY KNOWS
NO SUCH DISTINCTION AS
“WORTHY” AND "UNWORTHY.”
Relief is given in all cases of actual
want.' according to the needs and
ability to help himself regardless of
the worthiness or unworthiness of the
applicant, and is withheld only in
cases of chronic beggars who WILL
NOT HELP THEMSELVES.
Ruskin says: “To give alms is noth
ing unless you give thought also;
♦Jierefore it is not written: blessed is
/e that feedth the poor, but BLESS
ED IS HE THAT CONSIDERETH
'THE POOR. A little thought of kind
ness is often worth more than a great
deal of money.

FEEL BILIOUS? CALOMEL SICKENS!

I.lsten to me! Take no more sick

Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes Into contact
with sour bile crashes Into it, breaking
It up. This is when you feel that awful
nausea and cramping. If you are slug

and I have become deeply Interested
in the subject. I made a special visit
to the Dreamland Theater for the pur
pose of observing what steps are
taken to have the above mentioned
hats removed. My observations -were
as I will lay down in the following
paragraph:
When a lady comes In and takes her
seat without removing her hat the
usher, with his eyes on some man who
may be slightly bald says in a clear
voice, "Please remove your hat.” The
young man with the girl (if there is
one) will generally say, “Kitty, take
off your hat. didn't you hear what the
usher said.” She will say, "Yes, I
heard him, but he wasn’t talking to
me." And there you are.
I would suggest twith due apologies
to the Optimist of Friday’s edition),
that the usher, when the lady is seat
ed, to ask her In polite way to “Please
remove your hat.” I don’t think they

right up and make you feel fine and
vigorous by morning I want you to go
back to the store and get your money.
Dodson’s Diver Tone Is destroying the
sale of calomel beause It Is real liver
medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore
it can not salivate or make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson’s Diver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and clean your
bowels of that sour bile and consti
pated waste which is clogging your
system and making you feel miserable.
I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson’s
Diver Tone will keep your entire
family feeling fine for months. Give
It to your children. It Is harmless;
doesn’t gTlpe and they like Its pleas
ant taste.

Mr. Dewis’ experience Is Just like

To The Herald:
I see your correspondents have start
ed writing to you in an optimistic vein.
Excellent. Now we shall have psalms
instead of dirges. Your correspond
ent who calls himself a “Yankee” has
got the proper spirit. As he very
Justly remarks, we cannot expect to
have all prosperous years. Such a
thing is unheard of in the agricul
tural world. What If cotton Is away
dawn this year. We have had plenty
of good years. Besides, nobody Is go
ing to starve. We are not confront
ed with a famine.
There are fat years and lean years
The man who has not been able to luy
up enough during all the fat years
tlit we have had to tide him over the
present lean year is, as your corre
spondent says, a failure. He ought to
give up farming and try something
else. Of course hard times are hard.
But, even at that, the present times
are not so insufferably hard. Cotton
is going up slightly now with the Ger
man market assured to us by England.
The reserve banks are, we read, going
to “benefit the South” by making mon
ey less tight. Altogether It seems that
everything that is being done Just now
Is going to "benefit the South.” Fur
thermore, we at least have 16,000,000
bales of cotton, which, if sold at five
cents a pound, would bring $400,000,-
000. This is very nearly a bale of
cotton for every person, both white
and colored, In the cotton belt.
Don’t Imagine that I am a person
who owns no cotton and can therefore
afford to "talk big.” I aim hit very
hard by the war. But lam apparent
ly going to survive It I should hate
to be prosperous and smug at this
time, when I know that so many mil
lions of people In the world are In the

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA.
GEORGIA FARMERS URGED TO
BREAK AWAY FROM ONE CROP
Commissioner of Agriculture J. D. Price Declares It’s Time
For Them to Substitute Grain For Cotton---Says Com
mercial Organizations Should Take Strenuous Action.
Strenuous and immediate action by
farmers, bankers, railroad men, brok
ers, warehousemen and commercial
organizations to change Georgia from
a one-crop cotton state to a state pro
ducing on a large scale, wheat, corn,
oats, hogs and cattle is urged by J. D.
Price, commissioner of agriculture,
says The Atlanta Journal of Friday.
“There is no sense In talking of
large diversified crops and extensive
livestock raising unless facilities are
provided for handling and marketing
the new crops and the stock," 'said
Commissioner Price.
“There are now, and have been for
years past, warehouses in every town
in Georgia where a farmer can go in
the spring of the year and borrow
money on his growing crop. And this
has invariably been cotton. The far
mer has been taught to raise more and
more cotton. Each year he Increases
his crop, and borrows money on the In
crease. Cotton has represented to him
money, food, clothing, amusements,
everything.
“What I want to see under the pres
ent conditions Is this: Grain ware
houses all over the state, conducted
like cotton warehouses In the past,
with adequate arrangements for hand
ling grain in large quantities. When
the spring of the year comes and the
farmer harvests his grain, he should
be able to load up his wagons, drive
to the warehouse and get a small ad
vancement of money on his crop. Just
as he did with cotton. The grain can
then stay in the warehouse until the
farmer gets his proper price for It, as
he did with cotton.
“Georgians have rightly spent their
energies so far In discouraging the
planting of more cotton and In urging
the planting of grain —let’s now go
further than that—lers get our neafls
together and arrange to find a market
for all the grain we can possibly
raise.
"Someone will say that he can sell
everything he raises right here In
Georgia. I fully agree with him. I
fully agree that everybody would
rather buy home products Instead of
foreign. Rut we must arrange things
ro the grain buyer can buy at home
when he wants lo buy.
"Today a wholesale dealer in At
lanta or In another large town who
wants grain by the carload knows he
can buy any number of carloads from
the West, and that they will be ship
per to him at once, lie would rather
buy large orders of Georgia grain,
hut he knows of no place and there
Is none where he can put In an order
for carloads of It and be sure of
prompt fulfillment. Ho he naturally
.■gem from the West, He must
Change tills If We expect to he sue
eeesful In raising grain as a major
crop Let’s start changing these con
ditions now; let’s establish grain mar
kets In Georgia, from which the
broker, next spring, can get any num
ber of carloads he wants at a mo
ment’s notice.
"Many Georgians have already done
alt In iheir power to remedy the
emergency cotton situation the In
auguration of the buy-a-bale move
ment is a good example of this- - and
others are already talking of loans on
grains.
'“Wheat sold for 92 cents a bushel at
the beginning of the European wur;
it has now gone to $1.12, and Is dally
increasing In price.
War Helps Westerners.
"Western farmers are even now
holding for $1.25. The war means
prosperity for them, and for the cat
tlemen at a time when so many other
Americans are facing great financial
loss. The war will likewise mean
prosperity for Georgia farmers, if they
have grain and cattle to sell in the
spring, when prices will be still
higher. Wheat fields generally yield
ing twice as much as those of the
United States are now standing In
Europe and In Rosslan-Asla with rot
ting grain.
"With Georgia's climate, furnishing
green forage all through the winter,
as contrasted with conditions on the
snow-bound plains of some of the
great western cattle states, finer and
better cattle and other stock can be
raised here than in the west, and for
less cost. Statistics show that the
south consumes more meat per person
than any other section of the country,
and produces less. That fact alone
should be Incentive enough to the far
mer to raise cattle and hogs. In ad
dition to this, with men like George L.
McCarthy, secretary of the American

"In regard to cotton. To nil who are

and raising cotton for another year,
my advice is this: Ruy cotton now,
and, If you won't raise grain and live
