We grow cotton not for the fan of
it, bat for the profit? in it for us.
Now, we have over one million
farmers iu our farmers' organization,
and we have oome together for the
express purpose of saving this profit
in cotton growing for the grower.
How are you going to do it ? There
is but one way and that is to stiok to
your selling agents, "The Fanners'
Cotton Union." You oau never save
your profits by catling a million farm?
ers together to do nothing bat howl
the calamity howl.
Yon now have a fine start in the
way of linking the States together
for selling yoar cotton, and we are
feeling good over the fact that we
have some of the pluckiest men you
ever saw in the Farmers' Union.
They are fighting the thing out to
the finish, and are saving money for
the growers right along. We have
the positive evidenoe in our posses
sion to prove the facts that some
farmers have saved hy this move
from $2 per bale up to $5 in short
cotton and as muoh as S26 per bale
on long cotton.
lt Pay? to Stiok to Your Own Mon.
The Farmers' Union oan't make a
smart man out of a natural born fool,
but they can come aa near doing it as
any other organization, if they will
only round him ap among the crowd,
correl him in and move him along be
will count one of his size.
Every farmer makes his own rating.
The adult farmer is rated not by
what he says he is going to do, but
by that which he has already done.
The young farmer and the novioe in
farming may receive respectful hear
ing ns to what he intends to do with
out criticism.
But, young mon, remember this:
Don't be nervous about people know
ing who is doing well and who is not.
Every mother's son of you farmers
are at it every day, writing out upon
the ground your own reputation and
oharaoter, and if you are doing cred
itable work others will see it and do
your blowing for you without your
help.
Good farming tools and imple
ments are comparatively very obeap
and will be ready and on hand for
work at any hour, while labor is very
high and unavailable. You may
have 15 bands to-day, but you cannot
count on 5 of them for to-morrow's
work until they fall in line at work
time. Then don't make a mistake
by trying to save on the tools side
and paying big wages for very
worthless labor. Pay better wages
for better men and never pay the
best price for poor laborers.
Some boys, and men, too, make a
big mistake in the difference between
smart tricks and mean tricks. All
such efforts are abortive as to the
original intentions. This kind of
cheap stuff fools no ono more than
the one who starts out to fool others.
In other words, he that gets up these
mean tricks to fool others with in
these days generally fools himself.

or need low any sleep over fears
about oom bears ruining your pros
pect. You oannot eat, feed or ?ear
colton, but corn in the South is al
ways legal tender and can be util
ized on the farm in many ways or
sold to your neighbors.
We made an average of seventy
bushels and nearly one-half corn per
acre last year without using the
hand hoe at any time, neither did
we thin the corn. It was left in the
'row just as the planter dropped it.
Our plans for this year's corn orop
on upland is, rows six feet, bills two
feet, and land bedded out iu the tall
and January.
Will plant in water furrow from
middle to last of March, if weather
permits. Our low bottom lands were
bedded out with two-horse plows in
January and February, in beds ten
feet wide, harrowing top of bed as
fast as ploughing goes on. Two
rows will be planted on top of this
bed in Marah, four feet jpart, hill
two feet. Thia will leave six feet
between water furrow side and four
feet apart on top of bed.
Cultivation will be as near this
plan as weather will admit. About
the time ooru begins to peep ont of
the ground the weeder will be run
over lengthwise and in from five to
seven days run crossways on bottom
lauds, but may have to run over
twice on upland with the rows be
fore orossing on account of covering
corn down in the furrow. If the
weeder pulls down too mueh dirt in
water furrow in the bottom lands we
will run out water furrows with large
middle burster or double jack to
keep drains open.
About time crops are half done
cultivating then apply standard com
plete fetilizers in every other middle
on upland, and nitrate of soda at last
cultivation in the other middles, and
either sow or drill co'1 peas or soja
beans in all middles at last plough
ing. For fear of missing our seed
puns and beans we will drill one row
of these between the six-foot corn
rows about the time we are half
through with the cultivating. We
never go more than twice iu a row,
and in smooth lands but once.
Fertilizers lor Corn.
We have referred to fertilizers as
though we could not grow corn with
out them, but this is not the oase, as
many have good lauds that grow
paying crops without the use of any
fertilizer. If we had to confine our
choice to only one side application
we would apply nitrato of soda at
last cultivation.
Our observation and experience
with the Williamson method is that
planting the crop early and down in
the water furrow and the late side
application of soluble, fertilizers con
tributes more to the success of the
Williamson method than the "stunt
ing" of the plants.

A Bold Stop.
To overcome tho well-grounded and
reasonable objections of the moro intel
ligent to th c.USP of secret, medicinal com
pounds, Dr. B. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
VM some time ago, decided to make a bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers ot put-up medicines for do
mestic use, and so has published broad
cast and openly to tho whole world, a full
and complete Hst of all tho ingredients
entering into tho composition of hts Widely
celebrated medicines. Thus ho has taken
his numerous patrons and patients Into
his full confidence. Thus too ho hos re
moved his medicines from among secret
nostrums of doubtful merits, and made
them Remedies of Known Composition.
By this bold stop Dr. Pierce has shown
that his formulas are of such exeellonce
that he ls not afraid to subject thom to
the fullest scrutiny.
Not only does tho wrapper of overy bottle
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
famous medicine for weak stomach, torpid
liver or biliousness and all catarrhal diseases
wherever located, have printed upon lt. in
plain English, a full and complete list of all
the ingredients composing lt. but a small
book has been compiled from numerous
standard medical works, of all tho different*
schools of practice, containing very numer
ous extracta from tho writings of lending
practitioners of medicine, endorsing in the
Strongest possible term*, each laid every ingre

The Honest Janitor.
A janitor in a noigbboring school
throw up bis job the other day.
Wbon asked what was the trouble,
he laid :
"I'm honest and won't stand being
slurred. If I find a petioil or a hand
kerchief 'bout the school I hang it up.
Every little while the teacher or
some one that is too cowardly to face
me gives me a slur."
"In what way ?" asked the officer.
"Why a little while ago I saw
written on the board, 'find the com
mon multifile.' I look for it from
cellar to garret, and I wouldn't know
the thing if I met it od tbe HI met.
What made me quit my job? Last
night in big writiu' on the blackboard
it said, 'find the greatest common di
visor.' Well, I says to myself, both
of them darn things are lost now,
and I'll be blamed for swipin' 'em, so
I'll quit."_

Epilepsy

Are nerve diseases, and unless
checked, lead to destruction of
both mind and body. The
weak, shattered nerves must
have something to strengthen
and build them back to health.
Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine
is a remarkable nerve tonic and
stimulant. It strengthens the
nerves, relieves the nervous
strain, and influences refresh
ing body-building sleep and
rest. Persistent use seldom
fails to relieve these afflictions.
"1 was taken with epileptic fits; had
eleven In lesa than 12 hours. My
father sent for our family physician,
but he could do very UtUe for me, and
I grew worse every day, and at last
they had three doctors with me, and I
Htlll got worse. My father heard of
Dr. Miles' medicines and bought a
bottle of Ncrvlro and a box of Nerve
and Liver fills. I had taken only a
few dose? until I began to feel better.
I took 12 bottles, and it cured me
sound and well. It has beon worth all

We want to see a statue of Judge Logan
E. Bleckley erected in Clayton. During
his life he loved the mountains of Rabun
oounty snd its people. Judge Blockloy
was b"rn within the corporate limits of
Clayio' ; just the spot was unknown,
but e . a place near the residenoe of Tsx
Collector Will Smith. His fsther and
mother bad been here but a few days
prior to his birth and he was born in
a camp. Tbis information we obtained
from the Judge a year or so ago. Noth
ing we could do now for the incentive
of our obildren to grow more nobly than
to oroot a statue of one who has i ade
and will make Rabun county fem?. '*.
Wo feel that this is due him by h '
oounty people sod there is uo doubt that
hundreds of them will be glad to con
tribute to perpetuate him by statue. We
will lead the list to begin with-ten dol
lars. Let us get a statue of him and set
apart a place in our new sohool building
to ereot it. We feel that nothing would
be more appropriate and adorning, and
we osn get no netter name for our sohool
than The Bleckley Sohool. Judge Bleck
ley was universally loved and admired
while he lived; now he is gone and will
be honored the more. Now for the monu
