The Lexington Dispatch, z - . .Wednesday, March 6,1907. v - * b Diversification. g It is said that E. D. Smith, State ^ organizer of the Cotton Growers' As- ^ sociation, has recently suggested that , the South should raise the cotton of ^ the world. Diversification would be 0 ? ?'Thio io n. rtnl,r />Anntnr t llllOUlftC JL 11 AO io UJ>V VUij vvuij v* j where cotton can be raised success- 8 fully and we should raise that to the exclusion of other crops. With all v deference to Mr. Smith's wide range of observation,we believe he i9 wrong, * especially so for his advice refers to I the Piedmont section of the Carolinas. ? If our farmers were assured of 20 cent cotton for the next ten years what would be the result? Western grain farmers and hog farmers would be|| come rich. The fertilizer factories would roH in wealth. Railroads would have to increase their capacity for ( hauling cotton one way and flour, s< | y bacon and hay from the West. Cotton lands would be worn out. There n would be no use for barns for a shelter I would protect a few bales of hay and a few sacks of corn. The average ^ farmer assured of 20 cents for his cot- a ton would live from hand to mouth. A few thrifty farmers in the .county and shrewd merchants would'scoop in the surplus dollars from the farmers. ? .Jjf All cotton is a mistake. It will bring a: poverty to the Piedmont. Just now, gjfej'. - as farmers are arranging for the next crop, we beg them to get omthe plan ^ of diversification. The true plan is b one-third cotton, one-third corn and ^ sorghum, one-third small grain and ^ peas. If you cannot get on to that is at once, get as near to it as possible, o That would mean 10 acres for each r' n crop for one horse. That is enough and too much for some farmers. That plan means plenty to eat for man and beast, improved land, good barns, well cared for families, comfortable dwell- s< ings, good schools, attractive homes, | si happy, cheerful forehanded farmers, ; b Let no exhorter, however eloquently t< he may talk, persuade you to adopt tl the all cotton plan. It will be ruin- o ous to the Piedmont counties.*?Caro-' b Una Spartan. - , si $100 Reward, $100. si , The readers of this paper will be pleased ir to learn that there is at least one dreaded ^ disease that science has been able to onre in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

How aften do you hear these jsigni- ] ficant .expressions, fcom women, j friends. * More than likely you speak "} the same words yourself, and there is a cause. More than thirty years ago Lydia E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered the source of nearly all the suffering 1 endured by her sex. *'Woman's Ills," these two words are full of more misery to women than any other two j words that can be found in the English language. Sudden fainting, depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere, backaches, headaches, nervousness, sleeplessness, bearingdown sensations, displacements and irregularities are the bane of woman's existence. The same woman who discovered the cause of all this misery also i discovered a remedy. Lydia B.
