The man who owns a Georgia farm of 200 acres or more, today,! is the man to be envied, for lands ’ are at a premium and rapidly go¬ ing higher. For many years fol¬ lowing the late war many of our people were land poor and unfor¬ tunately, in not a few instances, the greater number of acres one owned the poorer he was, because it meant high taxes, heavy mort- j gages and ruinous interest rates. Now the situation is changed. Very little of the land in the south is listed for taxation at more than half its market value, the rate.s of interest have gone down, tho mortgage has been lifted, and Georgia lands today are in great demand. The high price of cotton dur¬ ing the past season has removed practically all the incumbrances upon the agricultural lands in south Georgia and made the own¬ ers independent and prosperous while timber lands have soared to prices that were considered im¬ possible five years ago. With’ these improvements in his condi¬ tion and surroundings the Geor¬ gia farmer today looks to be a different man from what he was even a year ago. Improvements are going up on every hand, and the farm is be¬ ing made more like a home than had been the case under the hard conditions that formerly prevail¬ ed. Heretofore, however much the farmer may have wished to pro¬ duce much of his living supplies at home he was debarred from doing so by the necessities of the situation with which he was sur¬ rounded. All his energies weie taxed to the limit to culiivate the number of acres required as a condition precedent to getting the necessary supplies to enable his family to live while the crop was being made. He is now independent of the store an I of the commission mer¬ chant. He is putting out money at interest and investing in en¬ terprises designed to build up'the community in which he lives. And during all this while his lands which heretofore were a drug upon the market, are doub¬ ling and trebling and quadrup¬ ling in value all the while he cul tivates them. The farmers have got the speculators and manu facturers of the whole earth “coming across,” to him, as the boys say, and all he has to do now, is to act sensibly and within reasonable limits, the “world is his.”- AmericusTimes-'Recorder. Proper Treatment of Pneumonia. Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although he may have the projx'r reme¬ dies at hand. A physician should always )>e. called. It should be borne in mind, however, that pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of cold or from an attack of the grip, and that by giving Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy the threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded off. This remedy is also used by physicians in the treatment of pneumo¬ nia with the best results. Br. W. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala., wlio is also a druggist, says of it: “I have been sell¬ ing Chamberlain’s Cougli Remedy and prescribing it in my practice for the past six years. I use it in cases of pneu¬ monia and have always gotten the best results. ’ ’ Sold by Lewis Brug Company. The Advertising World.

Advertising World, Columbus, Ohio A Fair Prophecy. !n his article on “The Future of Cotton,” in a recent issue of the Manufacturer’s Record, Hon. Martin V. Calvin departs from the traditional Southern view which The Telegraph has labor el so earnestly to combat. Those who claim to have ascertained the the real fact by investigation pos¬ itively assert that more than half of the cotton of this country is al ready produced t>y white labor yet the average Southerner still seems to be the victim of the antiquated notion that white men are unfitted for agricultural pur¬ suits in the cotton belt. Not so Mr. Calvin. “At the opening of the New Year,” ho says, “hundreds of young white men in Georgia ar.d in sister cot¬ ton states will glad-heartedly lake up farming as a life-work. With improved labor-saving farm implements they prove them¬ selves masters of the situation. All honor to these young gentle men: they will enter the noblest, gainful avocations in life. It is an exploded idea that only the negro can successfully cultivate cotton. In North Georgia white labor, in the face of a short sea¬ son, makes, with the aid of high grade commercial fertilizers, a higher average pet acre than is made in the tegular cotton belt of the state, where negro labor is almost exclusively employed.” Discussing the question as to whether the cotton acreage of 1904-5 will be increased owing to the better prices that prevail, he answers no, and goes on to say : “Why not? Because farmers know they cannot get the neces¬ sary labor ar.d cannot rely upon it if obtained. They date not pitch a big crop, no matter how entrancing 121 cent and 15 cent eotton may appear. The crop of 1904-1905 will not exceed 10,000, 000 bales, if by any chance it should reach that mark.. White labor, gradually at first, then rapidly, will displace negro labor in the cotton, grain and grass fields of the South. Why are the negroes indispos¬ ed to work in the fields? Is it because the wages offered are un¬ satisfactory or not promptly paid? No. The negroes, the young¬ er element particularly, have de¬ termined to abandon work to a very great extent. They are in a transition state. In a few years in my judgment, the bulk of the negroes will have left the South and this country,” This is a fair prophecy. When there are a thousand intelli¬ gent white farmers laboring with their own hands in Georgia and our neighboring states where now there is one, the South will blos¬ som as the rose, and no develop¬ ment in manufacturing and min¬ ing, colossal as they are to be, will rival her riches of the field. —Macon Telegraph 1 The Name Witch Hazel.

Of all the peculiar bills that have become laws by the general assembly of South Carolina the “anti-treating bill” is the most pecuhar. There have been many bills introduced that are, to say the least, odd, but few of them ever pass. This bill, however, was brought over from last year, and the author of it took that it was not lost in the com¬ mittee rooms, was not laid on the table, and lobbied among his per¬ sonal friends so that they sup¬ ported it more for personal friendship than on account ot the merits of the bill, It has passed both houses, however, having passed th ? senate last week, and is only waiting the governor’s signature to become a law. The bill provides that anyone a votev a drink witbm one mi e 0 a V0 ^ In ® P 1 ecinct on an election clay shall be imprison¬ ed on the county chuiugang for 30 days at hard labor. The bill as passed by the house provided for a tine of $100 or imprison' ment at hard labor, but the sen¬ ate struck out that part relating to the fine To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. All druggists refund the money if it fails to cure. li. W. Grove’s signature is on each box. 25c. How to Make Money.
