bad BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end.
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations OF
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
dishguring pimples.

pering, because they have lately
learned to farm with their heads as
well as with their hands-that it re-
quires skill as well as manual labor.
With this intelligently applied labor,
and the diYersification of crops, the
farmer is not dependent upon cotton,
and the advances of the merchant.
He "raises" nearly everything that he
needs, even to the weaving of his
clothing, and if his cotton crop fails,
or the price sinks to five cents a
pound, as it did year or two ago,
he can live, while the country mer-
chant Is not so sure about it. The
conditions are being reversed "A
small crop, or no crop, made the mer-
chant wealthy in a few years, because
he solo his advance supplies for the
crop at high tariff rates. and a few
successive failures put him in pos
session of the land. At last the farm
ers, a. least of this state, have gen.
orally learned this object lesson,
which the press has so long unavail
ingly preached to them" produce
everything you need for your family,
and your cotton will be surplus"
They are improving upon this by
making a speciality of stock-raising.
Instead of getting their meat from
the cities where they formerly
shipped their hogs, they kill and cure
their own hogs al home, and sell the
surplus. They raise their own farm
horses and mules, and some of them
make a speciality of raising mules for
the Atlanta market. from whence
they are shipped to Cuban ports.
In addition to agriculture much of
the progress of the state is due TO the
lumber and turpentine industries,
which Of late have received an impe-
tus. The demand for the yellow pine
was never larger in the history of the
state The trade with Spain. South
Africa and South America in this tim
Der is increasing, and is now beyond
the expectations of the lumber ship
pers. The trade increased about 25
per cent. last year, and the indica-
tons for the present year are even
brighter. New settlers are clearing
these lands of the famous yellow pine,
and thus realize enough from the
sale of the timber to pay for the
lands 1t is then easy enough to get
supplies for a crop and thus the
country becomes "thinned out" and
settled. Then comes the schoolhouse,
the church, the store. and, finally, the
railroad-and the forest is trans
formed into civilization.
While the farmer. as rule. has
prospered, especially in the southern
part of the state, the country mer-
chant has not done so well as for
merry. This is mainly owing to the
growing independence Of the farmer,
and his fewer purchases at "credit
prices" which are usually 100 per
cent. above cash prices. Tie good
price of cotton for the past two sea-
sons has also helped to take the

In what is known as the wire grass"

tracts of cheap but productive lands,
easily and ineXpensively cultivated,
have been put under cultivation, and
now produce not only the main south
ern standby cotton crop, but near
ly all kinds of fruits and garden

rens has been made highly productive,
and villages have sprung up making
a market for the small farmer. The
mild winter climate of this once in
hospitable region has recently at
tracted farmers of small means from
the northern states, who have bought
these apparently valueless lands at
nominal sums and on long credit. I'm
like the average southern farmer,
they did not rely entirely upon a cot
ton crop, which, if it failed, placed
them on the verge of starvation, but
they diversified their crops. They
farmed on business principles, just as
a merchant would conduct a store,
and perhaps more business-like than
many of them do. They raised hogs,
horses, vegetables, and anything that
will grow in this fertile soil. The
