Slight Disorders in the kidneys or uri-
nary organs are more serious than most
people think. The first warming symp-
toms should receive prompt medical
treatment to ward off Bright's Disease
or some other dangerous ma1ady. When
the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms
become sufficiently pronounced to be
noticeable the condition calls at once
for prompt measures to stay the progress
OF the disease. Prick1y Ash Bitters is
the remedy needed. Taken on the APP
pearance of the first symptoms, such as
pain in the back, pufiness under the
eyes, Irregularities in the urine, digestive
disorders, it will save the victim meal
culable misery and suffering, mental
torture and expense. Used at the begin
ming OF the trouble it cures quickly.
Used in the more advanced stages it will
win back health and strength as rapidly
as circumstances will possibly permit.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having

HOW TO MAKE COTTON WORTH

TO the Editor How shall we do
it? Why not plant any at all this
year; make plenty of corn, peas, po-
tatoes, rice and all feed stuffs for
1900 At present price of cotton no
man can pay debts the thing for us
farmers to do is not to buy sack of
fertilizer at all; let the fertilize fac
tory rest for year and probably we
can buy their product next year at
$iO per ton, instead of as the present
exhorDitant prices. Perhaps you will
say we can't live without making cot
ton say we can't live making cot
ton; you cont pay debts with cent
cotton. Let us have another cotton
convention and instead of resolving to
pool 100000 bales resolve to not
plant any at all this year and save the
seed we have on hand for 1906. You
will see that after planting time has
passed, say the 10th of June, cotton
that we now have on hand will readi.

planting cotton this year, even with
