1t is regrettable that the true causa
OF the low condition of our agriculture Is
not better understood. Il does not ariss
from any financial laws or our statutes
and of this We believe there will be annie
proof before another two years. Things
need 10 be reduced TO their last analv-
SIS always. When done in this case a
very simple reduction will be this. Tho
country Is not prospecting because the
farmers are not prospecting The farmers
are not prospecting for the chief reason
that number Of years past they have
been cultivating land that has no humus
in il. Enough were engaged in farming
to produce Jointly an abundant supply Of
everything, but did it in the majority of
instances without advancing their indi-
yidual interests. The shallow politician of
the day may not be able to understand
this matter, but the true economist out
side of the hustle of party politics com
prehends without difficulty that no stat
ute law of this country has worked the
trouble that now confronts the people Of
this great republic. Until farming pros
pers again the wheels of trade and com
merce must remain unoiled.
.
Light out of darkness is lighter" saws
the poet. The system of farming that
here in the south, as elsewhere, will ul-
timately follow the irrational system that
has heretofore prevailed will be a great
gain to the country. 1, VIII be true farm
ing instead of planting" When Georgia
is dotted over with farms somewhat after
the order or France, then we will have
begun to be truly great.

duct Of the left-hand figure in each null

GREATEST
ENEMY.

Laura McHenry, in the ladies'
Home Journal, says:
The headache par excellence
or rather ad HbtfHm among
women is the "sick headache"
and by that / find is meant a
headache which is attended in
any stage of its action by a
nausea, which increases until
vomiting ensues, when the pa
TENTS skin becomes naturally
moist again..
And yet every woman can
lessen the number and frequency
of her headaches by assisting
nature by natural means. The
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, which is
evaporated from the natural
waters of Carlsbad, taken early
in the morning before breakfast,
and if necessary at bedtime
(about half a teaspoonful dis
solved in a tumblerful of water),
will supply these means.
1t is an Alternative and elimina-
tive remedy, which dissolves ten
acious bile, allays irritation, and
removes distractions by aiding
nature, and not by sudden and
excessive irritation, as most ca
thartics do. 1t is of great benefit
in temporary and habitual con-
stipation, liver and kidney dis
eases, chronic catarrh OF the
stomach and bowels, rheumatism
and gout, ETC., and should be
used early in the morning before
breakfast, specially during the
spring and summer months.
Care must be exercised to obtain
the genuine article, which is inn
ported in round bottles and has
the signature of EIsNlg & MEN
