SOME AMAZING FIGURES
Macon Telegraph Shows How It Would be Ad
vantageous To Plant Less Cotton and
More Grain.
Macon, Ga The stock of money in
this country today is approximately
$3,130,000,000. Ten years ago it was
$2,340,000,000 This is a gain of
$790,000,000, u. approximately 30 per
per cent.
Authoritive statistics show that the
1909 wheat crop was 8.3 busheles per
capita, against 8.63 bushels per capi
ta ten years ago; the corn crop
dropped from 34.9 to 30.9 bushels per
capita; the oats crop from 12.4 to
11.1 bushels per capita; the hay crop
from 1 ton to 3-4 of a ton per capita;
and the number of food animals,
swine, cattle and sheep, fell from 2.5
to 1.9 per capita.
In the matter of meats the govern
ment returns issued on the 25th of
January show, under the head oi
swine (hogs) that the total supplies
in 1900, of 54,000,000 fell to 47,000,-
000 in 1910, a decrease of nearly 15
per cent. Other cattle, in 1909, 49,-
000,000, fell to 47,000,000 in 1910.
The number of cattle killed under
the inspection law in the United
States in 1907 was 7,621,717, in 1909
it had fallen to 7,325,337; during the
same period there was an increase
in the number of calves killed from
1,763,574 to 2,046,713. The receipts
of hogs at the markets fell 13.8 per
cent from 1908 to 1909.
In the matter of the production of
fruits, the leader and standard (be
cause it keeps longer) apples, in the
United States, have fallen from 68,-
000,000 barrels in 1866 to 21,000,00;
barrels in 19091
Here is money, per dollar, decreas
ing in its purchasing power because
of a 30 per cent increase in volume.
Here is an increasing deficit in the
field food crops per capita. Here is
a marked decrease in hogs and -car
tie supply. Here is a decrease in
the leader among all the fruits (ap
ples) of approximately 70 per cent.
On the top of all this is an aver
age tariff of 60 per cent on all for
-eign foodstuffs.
As result of all these things—the
increased supply of money, the de
creased supply of all food stuffs, and
the tariff—the prices of beef, pork
and its by-products, mutton, chickens,
eggs, butter and milk, and ail other
food products —taken on an average
—have never been as high as now,
barring of course the war prices of
the *6o’s. Is not this the southern
farmer’s golden opportunity?
The Telegraph has shown in previ
ous articles that in 1860, when the
population in Georgia was 1,057,286
there were in this state 2,036,1 it
hogs. In 1907, with a population of
2,760,000 there were only 1,590,000
.hogs. With the population more
_ ^-.Z .. * fW
Intratiun bulletin.
than doubled, the number of hogs
has been reduced nearly one-half!
The Telegraph has shown that, in
1860, there were 299,688 milch cows.
In 1907 —308,**00 —an increase only
of 8,312. That in 1860, there were
oxen and other cattle, 706,194. In
1907, 680,000—decrease of 26,194!
That in 1860, there were 512,618
sheep. In 1907, 269,000 —a decrease
of 243,618!
These figures are surprising, and
yet they are based on actual statis
tical returns.
The Telegraph has shown that in
1890, when Georgia’s population was
1,837,353, Georgia’s farmers owned
1,627,008 swine. In 1907, when the
population had increased to 2,700,000
the swine owned by Georgia farmers
decreased to 1,599,000 —a loss of 28,-
008. That in 1890, the sheep owned
by Georgia farmers numbered 411,876
In 1907 they had decreased to 269,00*
—a loss approximately of one-half!
That in 1890, Georgia owned 354,6*
milch cows. In 1907 the number fell
to 308,000 —a loss of 46,618.
Ail of these figures are amazing—
but they are collected from the most
reliable sources. They call to the
farmer with irresistible eloquence ar
force. They cry aloud to them to
plant less cotton and more grain; to
raise more cattle and hogs —not as a
patriotic thing, but as a profit-mak
ing business. ■ t is the farmer’s op
portunity. Fa day has come if he
is wise enough to read the signs of
the times and take advantage of it.
Food is the first and the last of
the natural man. All men must eat
Everything else is secondary. We
can go naked and live in the woods
as the heathens do, but we must eat.
It takes a pound of cotton to buy a
pound of meat. A pound of meat
can be raised more cheaply than a
pound of cotton. A farmer can eat
his meat but he cannot eat his cot
ton.
The money supply has grcwn las- .
ter than the food supply. The farm
production for the last four years .
have been low in comparison with ,
the increase in other forms of value.
Manufacturing enterprises, manutac- (
tured materials, stock and bond cor- ,
porations have more than tripled in ,
the last ten years. The farrpers (
have not kept pace.—Macon Tele

“A tempest in a teapot,” was the
way Dr. Kingman B. Page of tne New
York Medical Society characterized
the alarm over the decision of the
superior court at Macon, Ga., where
by a surgeon who performs an oper
ation must benefit the patient in or
der to collect his fee. The Georgia
decision grew out of a ease whereby
a child died following an operation.
The parents refused to remunerate
the surgeon and he sued to recover
his fee. The superior court at Ma
con ruled that the doctor had no legal
ground for the collection.

Hon. J. Pope Brown, state treasu
rer, will not be a candidate to suc
ceed himself, according to a state
ment issued to the public. \\ hen
asked as to the rumor that he would
resign before the expiration of his
term, Mr. Brown said: ”1 have en
tertained no thought of resigning; It
is my purpose to serve out my pres
ent term, but I will not be a candidate
to succeed myself.” Mr. Brown also
states that the reason he does not
care to continue as state treasurer
is because the position is out of his
line of work, and does not suit him.
Mr. Brown will take up his residence
in Atlanta in the near future.
A Religious Author’s Statement.
Rev. Joseph H. Fesperman, Salis
bure, N. C-, who is the author of sev
eral books, writes: ‘‘For several years
I was afflicted with kidney trouble
and last winter I was suddenly strick
en with a severe pain in my kidneys
and was confined to bed eight days
unable to get up without assistance.
My urine contained a thick white sed
iment and I passed same frequently
day and night. I commenced taking
Foley’s Kidney Remedy, and the pain
gradually abated and finally ceased,
and my urine became normal. I
cheerfully recommend Foley’s Kidney
Remedy.” Sold by all druggists of
Irwinton; Hodges & Evans, Gordon.

DRESSING TABLE AND SHIRT
WAIST BOX.
The trouble with the ordinary
shirtwaist boxes is that they neces
sitate piling the waists one on to;p
of the other so that those at the
bottom are invariably crumpled be
sides 'being inconvenient to get at.
To one in need of a receptacle for
waists and a dressing table as well,
the following successful combination
may appeal. First line two soap
boxes with plain bleached cotton
and stand them on end side by side.
A board nailed across the tops of
the boxes will hold them firmly in
place, and a second board is to be
fastened-about six inches above the
first by means of wooden end
pieces. This forms the table top
while the space between makes a
convenient receptacle for gloves and
handkerchief boxes, veil case and
other toilet, accessories. Next have
the tinsmith cut two tongue shaped
pieces of zinc, six inches long, which
are to be nailed by the base to the
upper front edge of each ‘box, just
in the centre. Two pieces of broom
stick are then sawed off just long
enough to reach from the front to
the back, one end of each being
nailed .to one of the zinc tongues,
and the other to the back of the box.
A valance of cretonne reaching to
the floor should be gathered and
tacked in place with brass headed up-
I holstery nails. The upper board is
I then covered smoothly and finished
with a flounce which just covers the
heading of the valance. An inexpen
sive mirror hung above the 'boxes
completes the dressing table feature,
while each of the broomstick rods
within accommodates half a dozen
wire -waist hangers, which keep silk
and lingerie waists in perfect con- .
dition and readily accessible. —Bos-
ton Post.

COURTESY IN YOUNG GIRLS. |
Young girls are apt to be some
what thoughtlessly discourteous, and ■
are quite oblivious of the irremediable
evil often wrought by want of i
thought. Such girls should bear in i
mind the lesson in courtesy given by i
a father to his daughter. "My .
child,” said he, “treat, everybody
with -politeness, even though they
are rude to you. For, remember that
you show courtesy to others, not be
cause they are ladies, but because
you ’are ooe.” —Hom© Notos.
Nervous
rrostrabon
“I suffered so with Nervous
Prostration that I thought there
was no use trying to get well. A
' friend recommended Dr. Miles’
i Nervine, and although skeptical
i at first, I soon found myself re-
I covering, and am to-dav well.”
MRS. D. I. JONES,
5800 Broadway, Cleveland, O.
Much sickness is of nervous
| origin. It’s the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
i take in oxygen, the stomach di-
I gest food, the liver secrete bile
I and the kidneys filter the blood.
I If any of these organs are weak,
: it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. Dr. Miles’ Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. It
| soothes the irritation and assists
I in the generation of nerve force.
' Therefore you can hardly miss
| it if you take Dr. Miles’ Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac
i cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
■ your money.
