Tited, Neivous Mothers MaHe Unhappy Homes—Their Condition Irritates Both Husband and Children—How Thousands of Mothers Have Been Saved From Nervous Prostration and Made Strong and Well. TIMELY APPEALS TO THE FARMERS. REGARDING DISPOSITION OF THEIR COTTON. A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care for children; it ruins a child’s disposi tion and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weak ness, and she is entirely nnfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that govern ing children involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. The ills of women act like a firebrand upon the nerves, consequently nine- tenths of the nervous prostration, ner vous despondency. “ the blues.” sleep lessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the feuaale organism. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying ? Do you feel something like a ball ris ing in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidiy sensitive to light and sound ; E ain in the ovaries, and especially etween the shoulders; bearing down pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost continually cross and snappy ? If so. your nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous prostra tion than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound; thousands and thou sands of women testify to this fact. Ask Mrs. Pinkham’s Advice—A Woman Best Understands a Woman’s Ills. Mrs. Chester Curry, Leader of the Ladies’ Symphony Orchestra, 42 Sara toga Street,East Boston, Mass., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “For eight years I was troubled with ex treme nervousness and hysteria, brought on by irregularities. 1 could neither enjoy life nor sleep nights; I was very irritable, nervous and desjKindent. “Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was recommended and proved to be the only remedy that helped me. I have daily improved in health until I am now strong and well, and all nervousness has disap peared.” Mrs. Charles F. Brown, Vice-Presi dent of the Mothers’ Club, 21 Cedasr Terrace, Hot Springs, Ark., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “ I dragged through nine years of miserable existence, worn out with j>am and nervous ness, until it seenml as though 1 should fly. 1 then notianl a statement of a woman trou bled as I was, and the wonderful results she derived from Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, I decided to try it. I did so, and at the ehd of three months I was a different woman. My nervousness was all gone. I was no longer irritable, and my husband fell in love with me all over again.” Women should I’emember that Lydia E. Pink-ham’s Vegetable Compound ia the medicine that holds the record for {he greatest number of actual cures of female ills, and take no substitute. Free Advice to Women.

Advised to Hold the Staple Against Manufacturers and They Will Hold the Key to the Situation. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 20.—At a meeting of the executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association, held at Asheville, N. C., September 6-8, 1905, where representatives from each cot ton producing State and territory were present, a report on the con dition of the cotton crop made up to August 25th, was carefully compiled from returns of more than 15,000 cor respondents showing a condition of 73 per cent, as compared with a condi tion of 84 per cent, for a correspond ing period of 1904. An estimate of the crop for this season based on reports from the same correpondents indicated a yield of 9,588,333 bales of cotton. Taking this information a» a guide in connection with the pre sent enormous demand for spot cot ton by the spinners of the world, the present high prices of cot ton goods, and the heavy cost to the producers for cultivating and harvest ing this crop, the committee agreed that eleven cents as a minimum price, basis middling at all interior points, would be a reasonable and conserva tive price to be asked by the produc ers this season for their staple. It has been generally reported, and not publicity denied, that spinners can pay twelve cents per pound for middling cotton at the present times and still make good profits in the manufacture of the raw material into the finished fabric. Peace has been recently de clared between Rusia and Japan. The whole civilized wo Id is in a most prosperous condition and the spindles in all the cotton mills of Europe and America are running night and day to supply the tremendous demands for cotton goods. Consumption Unprecedented. The enormous crop of American cotton reaching the unprecedented figures of nearly 14,000,000 bales has been easily absorbed by the spinners at an average price of nine cents per pound. Of this crop there was only a small reserve stock of little more than a million bales to he carried in to the season of 1905-6 on the first day of September If no more than ten million bales ot cotton are har vested this season to he added’to the small reserve stock carried over from the crop of 1904, the mills of the world, at the present rate of consump tion, will face a famine in raw cotton before another crop can he planted, cultivated and placed upon the mar ket. The mills have contracted for many months ahead for the delivery of goods to be manufactured out ot cotton yet to be bought from the pro ducers. The exporters have sold tc the spinners cotton to be delivered in the future months which is yet to be bought from the producers. The spin ners and the exporters are heavily short, with nothing but paper con tracts in their possession, while the farmers of the South hold the spot cotton in their hands and control ab solutely the key to the situation. Will the farmers take advantage of the splendid position they occupy, and like men, assert their rights to de mand a fair price for this crop at the hands of the buyers? Will not ihe merchants and local bankers through out the South line up solidly in un broken ranks with the farmers against the combinations that are so actively at work to depress prices ann defeat the will of the people? Must Do Our Duty. Every man in the South, no matter what his avocation, is expected to do his duty during the coming months and to throw their full moral and fi nancial ability in the great fight that we have engaged in. The “bear” speculators of Wall street and Lon don are using every device known to human ingenuity to depress prices. The International Cotton Spinners of Great Britain have combined to crush the oresent efforts of the farmers to maintain fair prices, and exporters are doing all in their power to ham mer down the market. The solution of the problem is easy and simple. The ability of the farmers to win this fight is unquestioned. Stand togethet as brothers, batilin for the protection of your firesides and your homes, your wives, children an 1 your coun try. Stop selling cotton at present prices. Call upon your merchants and bankers to aid you in the heroic struggle I hat lies ahead. Store your cotton in t ic seed wherever possible and do not have is ginned until later in the season. Store the lint cotton under good sheds to keep it dry on the far o or pi ice it in warehouses, whe'e the receipts are needed as col lateral to borrow money to meet ma turing obligations. All other lines of business bor <>w money, why not the farmers, when by so doing they can hold their cotton off the market and materially advance its price? Pay no attention to the “bearish” litera ture being printed and circulated broadcast throughout the South. This is done with but one object and that to discourage and induce you to seal your cotton at prices below its value. As producers you know that the crop is shor; and that unless you get good prices, * at least eleven cents per pound, tJiere will be but little or no profit in this crop. Hold your cotton and check up the present heavy receipts and demand not less than eleven cents for every nound of middling cotton you have to offer. The Southern Cotton Asso ciation, The Farmers’ Educational and Co-operative Union. The American Society of Equity, The Farmers’ Al liance of North Canflina have all agreed on the minimum price of eleven cents and the membership of these powerful organizations, stand ing together in unity and harmony, can defy the combination of the world and win another notable victory, the like of which was never witnessed be fore. Call your county and district meet ings throughout the entire belt. Build un your membership in the Southern Cotton Association and stanj firmly together for justice and protection. If you will check i e sale of your cot ton for 30 or 60 days this association will guarantee an advance in the price easily to eleven cents per pound. Do not rush your cotton on a depress ed market, but sell slowly and prove to the world beyond all question of doubt that Southern farmers have the ability, the determination and the strength to force the world to recog nize their power in maintaining a fair price for their products. The Southern Cotton Association must be maintained and financed by the farmers of the South. Its power to protect the interest of the pro ducers is recognized and feared by all the leading speculative and cotton in terests of America and Europe. If we go down in defeat the enemy will be merciless and it will take twenty years for the South to recover again. Stand by the association and thereby protect your individual interests. The South is both mentally and fi nancially able to manage and .protect her interests from the dominating and devastating hands of her ene mies. Last January the price of cotton was depressed to six cents per pound and the Southern Cotton Association was organized at the New Orleans convention January 26, 1904, to bring about harmony among the producers, merchants and bankers so as to advance the price to ten cents per pound. The world knows that through this powerful organization the price of spot cotton was advanced to ten cents in the South on July 3rd, just five months later. Not only this but the assistance given the “bear” oper ators by certain officials in the United States Department of Agriculture was exposed through the efforts of the association and the rascals were promptly turned out. This work has already saved millions of dollars to the South and will continue to do so if. fostered and maintained by the people. If the South could advance the price of a 14,000,000 bale crop from 6 cents to 10 cents, clearly it would require but little co-operative effort to secure not less than eleven cents for a 10,000.000 bale crop. Let the pbople know the truth, know the power of their strength and then let them act promptly and the victory for higher prices will soon be won. then their great staple will be selling at its real value to the world.
