It's different now. Since Mother's Friend has become known expectant mothers have been spared much of the anguish of childbirth. Mother's Friend is-a liniment to be applied externally. It is rubbed thoroughly into the muscles of the abdomen. It gives elasticity and strength, and when the final great strain comes they re-por.d quickly and easily without pain. Mother's Friend is never taken internally. Internal remedies at this time do more harm than good. If a woman is supplied with this splendid liniment she need never fear rising or swelling breasts, morning sickness, or any of the discomforts which usually accompany pregnancy. The proprietor of a large hotel in Tampa, Fla.. writes: "My wife had an awful time with her first child. During her second pregnancy. Mother's Friend was used and the baby was born easily before the doctor arrived. It's certainly great." Get Mother's Friend at the drugstore. $1 per bottle. THE BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO., Atlanta, Ga. Write for our free illustrated book. " Before Baby Is Born." Another Side of Farming. Spartanburg Free Lunce. The mercantile side cf farming has been too much overlooked. We bave been accustomed to think that otbers should run that for us. We have been so much engrossed in producing that we have not given as much thought to selling as we should have donp. There are so many sharp traders in every lice ready to mar age that frr as, that we have quietly submitted to their management, and. cf course, ihey have looked after tb?-ir own in terest. The result is that all we ! make i? consumed and yet we remain poor. More than this, every class is making more money out of our produce than we make. selling cotton. Take cotton, the most important money producing crop we grow. We bave given more thought to this than sny other, and how does this stand? Even body gets better pay than the producer. The picker gets gocd wages fur picking; the ginner gets good pay for ginniDg; the bagging and tie men get immense profits, furnishing the covering; the warebouse men get good profits weighing and storing, aod many of them bave accumulated large fortunes in this businrs ; the insurance companies make very large money from every :rop the sampler and street or wagon buyers make gocd wages; the railroad and ship companies make larger profits than on any ether class J freight; the compress men get immensely rich rqieezicg the badly picked bales: the larger buyers start in I Uiiness with little or no money and get to Le millionaires; bsokers =;et handsome profits, furni-hing the cash and pajing the bills; the manu J faclurers double their capital and j pay large dividends-; lastly but mostly [be speculators?a vast army of -harp traders and schemers wbodeal j in Cotton iu sight and out cf sight, and gamble iu options to the ruiu and hurt of thousands of honest men ?often roll in wealth, when they should be toiling iu chains. Thus we see these fifteen classes if men all makiDp Drofits. sometimes "" D CT ' immense fortunes, and many others incidentally getting a good liviDp, while we often sell at less than tLe cost of production. Take manufac tured goods and follow them back to the consumer aDd the man who grows the cotton is a veiy liberal consumer, and fine almost as many profits attached. We stll a pound of cotton for from six to eight cents and sew cn our buttons with thread for which we pay a dollar perpou^d. None of these people are to blame for making what tbey can and do. They are only locking out for stlf ^ k.,f rr- kl "frvr ' luiricci, uu u r?c aio iu i/i?uuv i selling tfcem our cotton without first ^ getting a profit for ourtelvrfi. ii; w can this he djnk \ First we must own the cotton. We j can nfver control the sale of a mort- ; gaged cr< p, or a crop made upod j piovisiols bought od time. We ( \ SM TXT. xRli Hy l?SO MAIIV WTE 3N ? ci C5U1IUIIS Cl k^i must raise our own supplies and own i tie cotton. This has been often said, i but we have not yet learned what it j really means. Then we must dis- I tribute the sale through the twelve ; months. By doing this we will avoid j the numerous go-be-tweens and get Dearer to the manufactories. "We , can thus step the forced sale we have : been makiDg. We can avoid the an- i nual glut of warehouses, railroads aDd money markets. When we have j done this, we can have a voice in the ! price. We have a practical monopoly of growiog this great and essential crop of American cotton. We lose all the immense advantage for want of business methods in selling. - - - .1 When we get in this shape inaDy oi us,wbfn.we found a cotton crop on hand for which we cculd not get a a Batisfactory price, would hold it aDd quit makiDg cotton and give our attention to something else until the price W88 satisfactooy. Oi course this means a great revolution in our methods, but that is just what we need aDd must have if we are ever to get fair prices for farm products. What I have said about cotton is equally true of maDy other crops. The seed of thecotton is another illustration. Most of us sold oui seed last season for about fourteen cents per but-hel or less. A few who held od get tweDty-five to thirty-five cents. All could just as well have gotten twenty five cents if tbey had waiied Cotton seed are woith twenty five cents to us, !hey are worth over that to the oil mill men,aod why should we sell them at fourteen cent:? I trust that the farmers will read the above caiefully and heed its meaning. C. A. Wingo. n .1 t_ o n xvoeuucs, o There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until tbelast few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treat- J ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manu- j factured by F. J. Cheney & Co., ! Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is j taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the 6ystem.
