Waycross.—Carrying one hundred
and one cars, many of them loaded,
an Atlantic Coast Line extra freight
left Waycross for Savannah and for
Charleston. It is the. longest train ever
operated over this district, and one
of the longest, if not the longest,
handled by one engine in the South.
Engineer Saunders and Conductor Bas
sett, both of Savannah, are in charge.
Engine number 271, a new type recent
ly added to the Coast Line’s rolling
stock, is pulling the record train.
Powder Springs.—There is much bet
ter feeling among the farmers and
merchants of this community than a
few days ago. There hasn’t been a
grain of corn shipped to this town this
year, but there has been some shipped
away from here. There were just a
very few oats shipped into this place
in the early spring before oats were
harvested, but since harvest enough
has been sold by the farmers to off
set those bought. One farmer said
this week he had a thousand bushels
to sell now.
Milledgeville.—The buy-a-bale-of-cot
ton movement is growing in this city.
Many of the leading merchants here
have announced that they will take cot
ton at ten cents in payment for mer
chandise, thus enabling the farmers
to make their winter purchases and
close their present accounts. Cotton
is coming in very rapidly now, but.
scarcely any is being put on the mar
ket, practically all being stored in the
warehouses. There has been but one
shipment from the city, fourteen bales
being shipped over the Georgia rail
road up to date. There are now on stor
age in the warehouses about eight
thousand bales.
Macon.—Drastic action looking to
ward the, curtailment of the 1915 cot
ton acreage in Georgia was taken here
by the Georgia chamber of commerce,
In annual session. The purpose of
this action — as expressed by Presi
dent Charles J. Haden — is to help
the farmer save himself. The plan of
action is that already indorsed and be
ing published in Lee county. It was
finally indorsed in the passage of a
resolution introduced by United States
Marshal J. A. Davis of Albany, and
after discussion was unanimously pass
ed. The plan in question provides for
the incorporation of each county in the
state under a charter that has already
been drawn and which provides that
at least 75 per cent of the farmers
shall sign an agreement to grow not
more than ten acres of cotton in 1915.
Any farmer who violates the contract
may be enjoined in the state courts,
and failing to heed the injunction may
be placed in jail. The contract binds
the farmer for twelve months.
Washington, D. C.—Josiah Carter
died at Garfield hospital in this city.
He had never recovered from an oper
ation performed several days ago to
relieve him from an acute attack of
abdominal trouble, coupled with acute
anemia. Mr. Carter was one of the
best known newspaper men in the
state of Georgia, and was editor and
owner of the Marietta Courier-Journal
at the time of his death; Mr. Carter’s
first newspaper venture was the De-
Kalb County News, when he was about
18 years old. From the DeKalb Coun
ty News, he went to the Atlanta Con
stitution, and was later city editor of
that paper under Henry Grady. He
was succeseively city editor of the At
lanta Journal, the News, which was
bought by the Journal, and was one
of the founders of the old Herald. He
was also at one time connected with
the Morning Advertiser of New York.
Mr. Carter became secretary to Hoke
Smith upon his election to the gover
norship of Georgia, and later went
with him in that capacity to the Unit
ed States senate.

One Way to Lengthen Life
Late h life, when the organs begin to
weaken, the hard-working kidneys often
tire out first.
Failing eyesight, stiff, achy joints,
rheumatio pains, lame back and distress

kidneys.
Prevention is the best cure and at mid

have prompt attention.

and each tack netted him about five
feet homeward. The major reined up.
“Jim, you black rascal, you’re drunk

ERUPTION COVERED BODY
321 Lee St., Hampton, Va. —"In July
of last year the eczema made its first
appearance on my fingers and before
the last of August my body was com
pletely covered. I was unable to sleep
at night the itching was so severe. I
had to take sleeping medicines sev
eral times a week to get any sleep at
all. It broke out as a rash and some
of the eruption turned to boils. My
chin was covered and I had several
boils on my face. My hands looked so
that I had to stop school and my
clothes irritated the eruption so much
that it kept me scratching all the time.
I could not stay in a warm room and
I could not put my hands in warm
water at all.

WORLD REALLY DOES' MOVE
New Englander Tells Good Story to
Illustrate the Progress That
Marks Modern Times.
Congressman William H. Murray, on
his return from a vacation in the
heart of the New England country,
said in Tishomingo:
"The progress of the country is as
tonishing. The farmer of today drives
his motor car. smokes his cigarette
in a long amber tube, and, over his
after-dinner coffee, listens to Caruso,
singing the ‘Star Song’ from- ‘Tosca’
on the phonograph, or hears his wife
rendering on the player-piano Grieg’s
’Peer Gynt’ suite.
“My New England farmer host, in
. answer to my compliments, said, yes,
things had changed on the farm, and.
to accent this change, he told a story
—a story of the past.
“In the general store of the village,
ihe began, the general storekeeper
took a chew of tobacco and said:
" Thet than new preacher’of ourn
is certainly a dude. Gosh hang my
buttons es he don’t comb out his
whiskers every mornin’. I got it
straight from the hired gal.’
“Everybody stared at the general
storekeeper in astonishment before
this news. Then the old squire
chuckled and said:
“ ’Wal, by crinus, I don’t see how
he stands the torture of it. I comb
my whiskers every Sunday, and
danged es the knots don’t make me
plumb near cuss an’ swear.’ ”
Shows the Folly of Toting a Gun.
A little sermon on peace by Homer
Hock: “Old Bill Jones always carried
a gun or two, and by much practice —
when he should have been at work —he
became a crack shot. He said that he
didn't propose to be caught unpre
pared, and that he went armed in or
der to keep out of trouble. But old
Bill Jones was in more brawls than
anybody, and was finally gathered to
his fathers by a gent who was a.little
quicker on the trigger. Nations have
been proceeding on the Bill Jones
theory. This theory—played up strong
by the Honorable Krupp and others —
has been that in order to insure peace
they must be ready to fight the world
on a moment s notice. But the nations
are just like old Bill. The Bill Jones
theory is ready for the junk pile.”—

An Immense Help.
The beautiful duchess of Marlbor
ough, at a tea at Marble house in New

"She dresses exquisitely,” said the
duchess, who, dressing exquisitely her
self, is an admirable judge. “Her hats,
her shoes, her coiffure —it’s all ex
quisite.
"And I like to see her take such
pains with her appearance,” the
duchess added. "It is wise. For a girl
can’t help her looks, but her looks can
help her.”
