Happenings in Georgia.
The News' Intelligent and
Wide-awake Correspondent,
"Former Lancastrian,"
Indulges in Timely
Reflections on Christmas
and the New Year, and
Gives the Farmers Good
Advice as to Paving the
Way for Good Prices for
Cotton Next Fall?Other
Matters of Interest.
Mr. Editor :?
Another Christmas has come
anu gone and with it may joys
and real pleasures have again
cuihe to the hearts of many people.
Of course, this joyous occa
sion did not, could not, pass with
out. its pains and sad hearts to a
great many, but to the majority
it was, as is always the case, a
V6ry pleasant occasion, indeel.
Kre this reaches the press I.he
< .year l'JOG will have begun, new
plans will be put into execution,
new resolutions formed and the
old year will have become a thing
ot the past. The year now passing
out has heen a very prosperous
one indeed. All classes ot
people appear to be in fairly
prosperous condition and will
naturally start out the new year
greatly encouraged and with
thankful hearts lor their prosperi
ty. After such a uuiveisal tide
of prosperity, it is but natural to
expect some reverses, but we
trust and believe that the coming
year will be equally as prosper
ous as the one just going out
We have here in Georgia a
citizen who has really "been
through the mill." It was several
i years ago, in the midst ol (he good
old Summer lime at a grist mill,
ol the turbine variety, somewhat
on the order ol the one formerly
operated by Mr. John J. Reeves
vi Lancaster county. Of course
the mill pond was right up at the
mill, the mill dam being under
the mill-house. A party ol fellows
had gathered there on this
warm Saturday alternoou and
gone 111 swimming. The afoesaid
citizen having ventured too near
the water gate, was drawn in by
the mighty current, hurled
through the gate into the luibine
4 wheel, a piece of which was
knocked off by his portly lorm,
and into the whirling torrents below
he was carried, wliere lie was
rescued and saved from a watery
grave, by his comrades, whose
attention was attracted by tho
commotion, camo to his rescue,
pulled him out, brought him to
iile, administered a dose of corn
liquor and put him on his mule
ami sent him home, feeling ikused
up" from the most novel exporiende
he had ever had.
Again tlie cotton market sags
and the tanner, and merchants
too, would like to know just wether
it will go a good deal lower
and not go up again soon or not.
There are very few people, in
our opinion, however, who Relieve
that the crop is a large one. The
majority are pretty sure in their
minds that it is not a large one and
that,consequently, they will reap
rich benefits 1 ter on in the form
of much higher prices. VVe agree
with the majority in part of their
p belief, that is, we beliere that
the crop is a short one and that
we will see higher prices later on,
but we are not expecting to see
cotton seli lor loots, this season,
not even with as short a crop as
10,250,000 bales, although we
may be mistaken?it may go to
| 15 cts. and we hope it will.
\I7 ? I?li * *
** e ueueve tnat right now
none too early for farmers to pave
he way for good prices for cotton
next Fall, lie slow about buying
large quantities of fertilizers,
mulee,etc., and do not piopare lo
plant a big crop ot cotton. But
they have learned how detrimentJ
til it is to their own interest to
plant a big cop, they liavo learn
ed that a small crop brings them
more money than a large (.me and
we d<> not expect to see a large
crop ot cotton planted this year.
Wishing you a happy and pros- ]
porous New Year, Mr. K litor, \v?

Southern Farms. I
Rapid Increase in V a 1 u"e
Makes the ^VSThole J3outh
Prosperous.
4<While it is true that the industrial
development of the
south is going lorward it is true
that, by virtue of the extent ol
the agricultural interest of the
south, agriculture i8 yet the foundation
of the business of that
section. A change from poverty
to prosperity of the farmer, and
a change from land without a
selling value to land in demand
<1 an advuuce ot 50 to 150 pe
cent, over the nominal price id
I one or two years aao, is the m<>*
far reaching development in
Southern advancement of the
last quarter of a century.
It is farreaching in many ways.
It means that within the I
year or two southern farm properlies
have increased not less than
$1,000,000,000 in value, probably
at least $1,500,000,000. But
more than that, it means that under
this improved financial condition
the southern farmer has
gained new courage, new backbone;
that he has learned how to
market his cotton crop; that he
has fought to a finish the great
battle as to whether the producer
or the speculator is to control
the price of his staple. Having
... A 1. - H I * -
*vuu una ugm, tue entire handling
of cotton from tlie field lo
the factory, whether the factory
be in this country or in Europe,
has entered upon an entirely
new stage in its history. It also
means thai laud will be more
thoroughly cultivated, for the
successful man, whether he is a
farmer, a merchant or a manufacturer,
is always better able to
work to good advantage than the
one who is fighting a losing
battle.
During the last six years the
total value of the cotton crop,
including seed has been ^$3,600,
000, against $2,190,000,000 for
the preceding six years, showing
a gain in the last six years over
the preceding six of over $1,400,000,000.
It is not, howevor, due
to this great increase in cotton
alone that the Southern farmer
is in better shape. More and
more has the diversification of
agriculture gone on;j#inore and
Impoverish Soil;
Impoverished Hoil, like impoverished
blood, needs a proper
fertilizer. A chemist bv nnnlvzin?
the soil can tell you what I
fertilizer to use for different
products.
If your blood is impoverished I
your doctor will tell you what'
you need to fertilize it and give
it the rich, red corpuscles that!
are lacking in it. It may be you
need a tonic, but more likelv you
need a concentrated fat food,
and fat is the element lacking
in your system.
There is no fat food that is
so easily digested and assimilated
as
