WHEAT GROWING IN TERRELL.

The publication in THE News two
weeks ago of a communication from
Mr.. w. B. Quailes urging the Terrell
county farmers to grow wheat is bear
ing fruit. A number of farmers have
become interested, and the result will
be fields ofwheat where a grain of it
has not been planted for many years
before.
Mr.. Quailes is himself thoroughly in
earnest In reylving wheat growing in
this section. He is going to sow one
bushel of wheat to each pillow he runs,
and as an incentive to others to do the
same he offers to give any farmer of
his district who raises more wheat to
the acre than he does a premium of
one bushel of wheat or dollar in mon
ey, If fifty farmers will enter into
such an agreement with him he will
pay fifty bushels of wheat or fifty dol
lars. tits to be hoped that some enter
prlsing farmers will accept Mr..
Qualles' proposition and show what
can be done at wheat raising in Terrell
county, as well as set other farmers an
example.

ATLANTA, lee, 4.-Today's session

enough members into this banquet hall
to assist in the public feast" There was
loud applause at this, but the members
soon learned that the speaker was very
much in earnest The gayel Numbered
down on the desk and be began to give
directions for the arrest Of absent mem
bers. Many of those in the hall crowded
a Ound the speakers stand with excuses
for absent ones. Ghe session was more
than lively one time when tie doorkeep-
er complained that the members pushed
through the door and escaped through j
will of his own. "The doorkeeper is put
there to resist force by using force, -
was the comment of the speaker.
The session adjourned at noon.

ONE OF TWO WAYS

The bladder was created for one pur-
p se, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form Of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action of the
kidneys. The second way is from care
less local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troub-
les. SO the womb, like the bladder, was
created Cor enc purpose, and if not doc
tOred too much is not liable to weakness
or disease, except in rare cases. 1t is
situated back of ard very close to the
bladder, therefore any pam, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the Kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble Of some sort The
error is easily made and may be as east
lY avoided, To find out correctly set
your urine aside for twenty-four hours;
sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of DR.. Gilmer's swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder rem.
edy, is soon realized. If You need a
medicine you should have the best. At
druggists 80 cents and one dollar. You
may have a sample bottle and pamphlet
both sent free by mail. Mention The

Mr.. WILSON, the secretary of agr1-
culture in the presidents cabinet, ad-
dressed the Georgia legislature last
week, Among other things he SAID
that he did not think it good policy
for a state to produce more cotton than
1t manufactured, and he also made the
point that it was great benefit to a
state to have large number of citI-
zens who are not agricultural produc-
era but who consume the products of
the soil in the manufacturing towns
where they are employed. These are
sound ideas

IT seems that the people of Georgia
are at last to have an opportunity of
deciding whether judges and solicitors
of superior courts shall be elected, as
they now are, by the legislature or by
popular vote. The senate, by a vote
of 30 to u, has passed the bill of Sen
ator Hopkins submitting constitu-
tional amendment providing for the
election Of these officers by the people.
The present method of electing Judges
and solicitors is condemned because it
has been demonstrated time and time
again it makes trades and cOmblna-
tons and schemes, not fitness, neces-
sary to the success Of candidates. SEN
ator Hopkins is to be congratulated
upon succeeding where SO many have
failed.
