TOO MUCH MEDICINE
The System continually wongsd by Ovssang dkIng

The excessive and tndiscriminate use of

Only common sense is needed. The food

WEALTH IN GEORGIA LANDS

The man who owns a Georgia farm
of 200 acres or more, today, is the
man to be envied, for lands are at
premium and rapidly going
higher For many years f ,llow-
ing the late war many of our
people were lend poor and. unfortu.
nately, in not few instances, the
greater the number of acres one owned
the poorer he was, because it meant
high taxes, heavy mortgages and
ruinous interest rates.
Now the situation is changed. Very
little of the land in the South is listed
for taxation at more than half its mar.
ket value, the rates of interest have
gone down, the mortgage has been
lifted, and Georgia lands today are IN
great demand.
The high price of cotton during the
past season has removed practically
all the membranes upon the agri
cultural lan1s in south Georgia an6
made the owners Independent and
prosperous, while timber lands have
scared to prices that were considered
impossible five years ago. With these
improvements in his condit1on an6
surroundings the Georgia farmer to
day looks to be different man from
what he was even year ago.
improvements are going up or
every hand, and the farm is being
made more like home than had beer
the case under the hard co. dit1on'
that formerly prevailed
Heretofore, however much the far
mer may have wished to produce mucE
of his living supplies at home he wa
debarred from doing so by the necesi
ties of the situation with which ht
was surrounded. All his energies
were taxed to the limit to cultivate the
number of acres required as a cond1
dition precedent to getting the neces
sary supplies to enable his family tt
live while the crop was being made.
He is now Independent of the stort
and of the commission merchant. H.
is putting out money at interest ant
investing in enterprises designed t,
build up tie community in which h
lives
And during all this while h lands
which heretofore were a drug upol
the market, are doubling and trsb
ling and quadrupling IN value all th
while he cultiyates them. The far
mer has got the spectators and III
manufacturers of the whole cart
coming across, to him, as the boy
say, AID all that he has to do now i

limits, the "world is his"

directed her companions attention to
an Oriental lady in native dress sitting
quite by herself.

Californian, "I'll bet anything the poor
thing is frightened to death here all
alone. I'll go over and speak bit of
pidgeon English to her."
And the girl from the slope walked
over to the small, dainty figure in the
odd dress, and seated herself beside
her. She smiled and nodded. The
Chinese lady smiled and nodded, too,
Then the Californian remarked:
You comee alice way fiom China?

she had been awaiting.

A DISCRIMINATING VERDIcT.-Repre-
sentative Rroussard Of Louisiana,
gives this as a specimen Of a peculiar
ly drawn jury verdict, says the Wash
ington Times.
"A fellow had put load Of buck
shot into the anatomy Of neighbor
who persisted in trespassing on his
land. The buckshot, each and ev-
eryone Of them, hit where they would
do the most good, and the result
was that there was dead man with
his body riddled with leaden mis-
siles. Now, the fellow who did the
shooting was very popular man,
and had a good bank account, too.
1t was evident from the first that
the coroner's jury didn't have any
idea of holding the man for murder.
The jury deliberated long and wise
ly, and returned this verdict:
"The jury are of one mind-tem-
porarily insane"
