A Mother Tells How She Saved Her
 Little Daughters Life.

We thought she would dle. l tried everything l could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good. l saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlain s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Rem edy was highly recommended and sent and got a bottle at once. It proved to be one of the very best medicines we ever had in the house. It saved my little daugh- ter's life. am anxious tor every mother to know what aA excellent medicine it is.

TO THE COTTON FARMERS.

The time will soon arrive for the marketing of the next cotton crop and unless a change is made as to the mode of doing 1t the same low level of prices that was current last year will inevi- tablv be the result. It Is q well established fact that large port and interior receipts during the months of September, October and November are the great fac tors i'll making prices, and 1t is in your power to prevent this as you have the remedy in your own hands which is to hold back on your farms one third of your ginnings until after December or January. The two-thirds will bring nearly as much money marketed in this way as the whole crop marketed in the us

IF the brokers, bankers, com mission men and farmers of the South would unite they could hold back from sale just such proportion of the cotton-crop as they desire, and in this way the price of the staple could un- questionably be controlled to a certain extent. While 1t IS true that supply and demand con trols the price, it is not neces- sarilv the supply that IS raised, but that put upon the market. If 100000 bales of cotton IS raised and only 10000 put on the market, the 10000 would govern the price and not the 10,- GOO, 900. The main idea is, not to crowd the market. Give buy CTS to understand that tiev must pay reasonable price for cotton. or do without it, and remunerative figures will be paid for 1t.

Cotton has been rising for d week or more. and there are those predicting about the sta pie on both sides, says the Vicks- burg Dispatch. Some think the condition warrants further ad- vance and it's maintenance through the season, and others declare that 1t will surely decline again when the receipts are heavy i'll the fall. Some bears declare 1t will go down to 5 cts, while some bulls are talking about : cents for middling to- wards the close of the season. The truth IS that no one can form any idea from experience what cotton will do. Experience doesn | count worth d cent against the big estimates, the uncertainties and the specula- tors. A man with two years experience in cotton can guess about as correctly as one who has had forty years trouble with lt.-Ark. Democrat.

 In doing this you will not be depriving the merchants or the banks to whom you are under obligations of what they are justly entitled to but on the oth- CT hand, protect ting almost their salvation as well as your own.
 The government says the acreage in cotton land Is eight per cent less than last year and that the July condition is 3.4 (thrce four-tenths) per cent less, or a total depreciation of 11.4 (eleven four-tenth) per cent.
 Estimating the current crop at II, 200, ,000 bales 1t means d shrinkage Of 1,277, ,OO0 bales, or crop of 9,923,00O bales for 1S99-1900.
 Notwithstanding all this, and the further fact that the cotton mills throughout the country are making profits ranging from 20 per cent to 40 per cent, mighty efforts are being made to, o,create the impression that the crop will be an enormous one. with the view of getting your cotton cheap and 1t is for you to determine whether the greedy spinner will succeed.
 You will be assailcd by the willy speeulator with all kinds of arguments to prevent you from holding your cotton, but it is your only weapon and your f. nancial salvation depends upon it's use.
 Ne will keep this appeal prominently forward in our col umns and devote a part of each issue in earnestly advocating it, and we ask our associates of the press, merchants and bankers, who are equally interested with us in building up the prosperity of our Southern country, to join and aid us in our fforts.-Daily Democrat, Natchez, Miss.

It has been a year since the War with Spain ended, but the people are still paying the war taxes.

 A large attendance is of the ut most importance.

MR. EDITOR With your per mission, l will try and give you a few items from this section.
 There is some sickness in the neighborhood. MT. Frank Owens has the fever, but is better. Mir. Nicely Henry has a sick child. Mr. C. T. Coker has been down all the year, but, we are glad to say, is improving. Mr. Eliza Rogers lost a child one day last week. Mr. James ! ount buried his wife one day last week; she died of con sumption.
 There is new shed being erect ed at the camp-ground, preparato- ry to holding camp-meeting. We are expecting good time. Last weeks hot, parching sun did the work for the cotton crop.
  Cotton, in the last ten days, has been cut short at least one-half. have been in the bottom country of Desha county. What cotton has been well cultivated is badly damaged. There is q large per cent. of the crop that hasn't been properly cultivated, which is ex- ceedingly short, and hundreds of acres that are laying out.

Anent the Dreyfus trial. there is food for thought in the sug- gestion that France has at an enormous sacrifice built up a great army, and pays for it; yet it's officers, who are paid by the people, and should, therefore, be the peoples servants, violate every principle of justice and honor in wild endeavor to build up an irresponsible oligar- chv.

 The unexpected has happened. Richard Croker has returned from Europe a warm champion of Vim. ] Bryan. In an inter view he is quoted as saving:
 MT. Bryan's great strength, said Mir. Croker, lies in his sympathy for and knowledge of the plain people. No other American has ever been so close to the masses. He understands and feels for the toiler and the toiler understands and trusts him. l consider him to be one of the greatest men America has produced.
 Within the coming year the Democratic party must agree upon it's national programme and prepare for the overthrow of trusts and imperialism l be- Iieve that the party will be unit ed and harmonious.
 Naturally am principally in terested in securing a national platform that will be the source of strength to the party i'll my own state.

 "The silver question will be regulated Ill time and congress may be safely trusted to settle the ratio.
 "There never has been a time in my experience when the Re publican party has so clearly shown its unftness to be in COIL trol of the national government.

The administration has purposely dragged out the struggle and is spending tens of millions of peoples money with out making any serious effort to bring the war to close this year.

POLITICS IN GEORGIA.

Fitzgerald Leader: Hon. D. NJ Roberts,
who was a guest of our city Tuesday, is
candidate for judge Of this circuit. He
was for a long time on the bench of this
circuit, and was well known for his i'm
partial rulings and correct decisions He
has host of friends in Irwin county who
will be glad to support him.
Banks County Journal: The friends of
Hon. George W. Brown OF jefferson are
urging him to apply for commissioner of
pensions. The fact that Mr.. Brown is a
one-armed eX-Confederat e soldier, a stanch
Democrat always doing gallant work for
Democracy. an ideal citizen and a Chris
tan gentleman makes him a deserving APP
piicant meriting the position of commits
sioner of pensions.
Maj Marcus W. Beck, when asked if he
would enter the race for Congress from the
Sixth district next year. replied that
number of his friends had spoken TO him
about the matter, but as yet he had not
fully decided as to what he would do. He
said since he left the army he was trying
10 build up his law practice and had not
thought of politics. There is a number of
his friends, however, who are of the opin-
ion that he will run against Congressman
Bartlett.
Macon Telegraph: 1t is practically certain
that Hon. w. B. Burnett of Athens viii
represent Clarke county in the next legis-
lature. The only doubt expressed is
whether he win make the race, and there
does not seem to be much doubt on this
line, as the people of Clarke county, with
whom he is quite popular. are urging him
TO run and telling him that if he does so
he VIII have no opposition. In this con-
nection it may also be said that if Col
Rurnpft is "a member of the next HOusa ba
viii be a candidate for speaker and that
the man who beats him will, when the race
is over discover that he has been in the
fight.
