"In the wheat country, they are mak
ing up their minds to eat corn. What
•'.re we to do in the cotton country.”—
Augusta Chronicle. Drink it, of course.
THURSDAY JANUARY 14th, 1915.
May wheat sold in Chicago Friday
for 11.41 3-4 a bushel, an advance of
1-8 from the top market of the day be
fore. Some grain dealers predict that
wheat will reach 12 a bushel, and the
Chicago Retail Grocers’ and Butchers
Association will start "a national agita
tion to induce Congress to place an
embargo on wheat and flour exports.’
The European war is, of course, re
sponsible for the phenomenal rise in
orice. The question is being asked,
“Will the wheat supply be enough to
feed two continents?”
# If there are any farmers in this
county who still want to plant cotton
instead of foodstuffs in the light of the
above tacts and with an already too
groat supply of the fleecy staple, they
do not daeorve a lithe of the sympathy
that has been wasted on them in the
past few months. Straws show which
way the wind is blowing and it certain
ly seems to us that the sure road to
prosperity lies via the small grain
route. 'i
Why doesn’t some live wire organize
a company and erect a rollerjlour mill
at Barnwell? From what we can gath
or, there has been a considerable
acreage planted in wheat in this county
and some provision should by made to
take care of the product. Small mills
can be installed at from 11,500 up, with
a capacity of 12 to 50 barrels of flour a
day, according to the size of the plant.
The farmers are seeking a way out of
the straits of the all-cotton crop and
should be assisted in every way pos
sible. This should be easy when there
‘ is a^profit to be made by operating a
roller mill.
In opposing a bill to prohibit the
intermarriage of whites and blacks in
the District of Columbia, Representa-
tive Madden, of Illinois, declared that
it would "leave many young girls at
the mercy of brutes willing to take
advantage of them and then leave them
to a life of shame.” What could be
more shameful than for a young white
girl to be the wife of a buck nigger?
Flour is qo longer a necessity. It
has been promoted to a station second
only to that of beefsteak—a luxury to
be enjoyed only by the criminal rich.
“Our idea of a safety raiser is a fel
low who does it with four aces.”—The
State. Hard luck, old scout. You
should have “checked.”
People who have a great relish for
wheat bread should console themselves
with the fact that corn bread preserves
and whitens the teeth.
Why pardon a negro woman who has
been dead two years when there are
about 125 perfectly live convicts yet in
the penitentiary?
Governor Blease is so fond of “turn
ing ’em out” that he couldn’^ resist the
impulse to muster out the State militia.
The American dollar is worth 11.06 in
S witzerland —but who in the dickens
wants to live in Switzerland?
Many a man sends money to the Bel
gians when he won’t give a poor neigh
bor a pleasant look.
« Doctors advise “lolling" as an aid to
long life. In that case some men ought
to live forever.

Cotton, the South’s “white

Yes, Celestine, it is quite true that
the roads haye been pretty bad for the

After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs, Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
/
Catron, Ky.—In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: “I suffered lor four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this tfane, I could only sit tip tor a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
alL At timet 1 would have severe pains
in my Ml ride.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and 1 gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I com
menced taking it From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work.”
If you are all nm down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it Begin taking Cardui today.
