I thought 1 had to suffer this way as long as I Used, but when 1 begin to take Thedford's Black-Draught, in small doses, every night, the heartburn was all gone In a few days, and I could eat without dfctress. I took two small packages in all, and although that was some time ago, the dyspepsia has not returned. I speak a good word for Thedford’s Black-Draught whenever 1 have the op portunity.” If eating causes distress, we urge you to try Thedford's Black-Draught.

B. H. Worthen . Anns Company . Charleston, 00 PER CENT. ARE FARM ROYH. • , President Barrett Deplore* Movement to Cities from i arm*. I heard a man say a while ago that he had made a caretc: investigation of the men who had achieved succesa in a large Southern c;iy, and that .ninety per cent, of them bad been bred on farms. To him it was a matter of pride and gratification, but I will confess irackly that the statement ahix-keo and saddened me. 1 znow in a gen eral way that our cities w'ere absorb ing into decay, and farm lands were thought that the bra.ns. energy and power of a great city had oeen achiev ed at the expense of the farms was startiing.^^ln it. I caw one of the main reasons wh yfarm.ng was fail ing into decay, and farm lands* were in alien hands. We hear and read a vast coal these days about conservatiou, bu| to my mind the most vital th.ng to Amen- .-a today is the conversation of pur young men of the soil. It is old an.' trite to say that a nation’s prosper ity is measured by its agriculture, but it is profoundly true neverthe less. There are a thousand issues over which onr statesmen concern them selves and with which they whip the people into frenzies ot political fer vor. But they are not striking-at the heart and soul of the most vital problem of the day. These questions are largely political, whiie the great est economic issue of this country is to create such conditions and to so educate our boys as to make them love t prosper on aiul stick to our )arms. When statesmen big enough and broad enough fiM our lawmaking halls to sense this tac«. and seek the remedy, then we shall Lave a new era. Here are just a few random facts tending to show our farms nave been and are being drained ot its best blood. Sixty-six per cent, of the til lers of the soil in the United Siat<-s are non-landowners. In Georgia only 34 per cent of the farmers own the land which they till,’' in Alabama and Soutn Carolina 37 per cent., while in other Southern States conditions are as serious. Similar conditions probably prevail nation-wide. This farm ownership by those who do not cultivate the land is becoming one of the gravest problems of the day, and I believe much of it is due to the boys leaving the farm for the city. This alien land ownership must be serious when Mississippi finds it expedient to pass a law regulating it. We must face this problem and find the remedy. Unless this move ment away from the soil is checked our national prosper::)' ana great ness is sure to crumb:e. Agricultur al schools, rural delivery, rural tele phones, wider and mo.e general dis semination of information on improv ed farming and now the parcels post are helpful factors and beacon lights along the way, but much more is to be done to accomplish veal results. Much depends - on the farmer- father. They must treat their boys right; teach hin» how to love the farm and let him share in the profits of his toil. The Boys Corn Clubs demonstrated very clearly what they can and will do if offered the right stimulus, the hope of reward. Clos er and better community interest and intercourse accurate knowledge of th£ soil and the things that best grow on it—all these form part at least, of a general upward movement for the future farmers of this coun try. Are we to have conditions here in the South and in the West as one may find them in many of the New Kngiand states—miles of abandoned farms and houses vacant and falling into decay? I fear so unless we can check the Row of boys from the farms to the cities. In the south par ticularly. where the negro farm help is even more pronounced in its ten dency to leave the country and con gest in the cities, the farmer must learn how to hold h,s boys, o.' go to smash. I am not an alarmist-normally and naturally I am an optomist and be lieve most men are straggling toward the light and better conditions. But I would be foolish to blind myself to the conditions outhned. and which any observant man may see. Good schools and broader educational ad\antagcF will go fai as a remedy. This is a real and great problem of the day as I see it. Uniiess it is solved we shall inevitabh decay and vanish as the most powerful nation on earth. C. S. Barrett. Union City, Ga.. Feb. 8 1913.
