FARMERS IN NEED OF
HELP IN FIELDS
Seaboard Cotton Pickers
Are Wanted.

Because of the unprecedented scar
city of labor the cotton fields in
scores of places along the Seaboard
Air Line between Savannah and Am
CIRCUS are in a deplorable condition
In many places in this section OF
Georgia the fields are white with
cotton, with no one to pick 1t.
Said a farmer:
1t is simply impossible to get
hands at any price. They simply
won't work, no matter what induce
ments are held out to them
They promise to come into the
fields, but don't show up. They won't
work on a farm that is not near
enough town to permit of them 60
ing in every night. The hands all
want to go to town at night and gam
bic their money away.
Many of the fields are in very
bad shape and the steady downpour
two days ago isn't going to help the
cotton a bit
Under existing conditions it is
believed the farmers would welcome
Immigrants or anybody else who
would go into the cotton fields and
help gather the crops.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, ard that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
Science has Now Found the True Way
To Cure Indigestion.

A few years ago, when a sufferer
from indigestion went to a stomach
specialist, the result was a rigid diet
list that almost meant starvation.
But the first thing to do in the case
of indigestion or stomach weakness is
to strengthen the musuclar walls of
the stomach and intestines, SO that
they will care for the food that is
eaten. In no mother way can this be
done as we'll as by taking Mi-o-na
tablets before each meal.
This restores strength to the stom-
ach muscles and stimulates the pour
ing out of gastric juices, so that the
food is digested readily and its nuor-
ishment retained in the system to
build up energy and vitality.
Do not think the sick headache,
heartburn, bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, spots before the eyes,
sleeplessness and the many other
symptoms that are the direct result of
indigestion, will go away of themsel-
yes. The stomach must be built up
and strengthened by Mi-o-na before
you can be we'll and strong, free from
suffering and distress.
The guarantee that Dodsons Phar-
macy gives with every 50-cent box of
Mi-o-na, to refund the money unless
the remedy cures, shows their conf
dence in the treatment. 25-27-2

ENID, OKLA. Oct l. (SpeciaD-
Farmers and horsemen of half-doz-
en- states will assemble at the ma
tional convention of the Anti-Horse
Thief association, which commences
its session in this city tomorrow.
This unique organization, while
perpetuating the vigilance societies
of the early days of the West, coop
crates with the civil authorities in
bringing all offenders to justice and
aiding in the recovery of stolen prop
erty.
That amateur sleuths are often
more successful than their profess
sional brethren is shown by the his
tory of the. association, and in the
state prisons of the West and the
Southwest there are now scores of
criminals who owe their capture to
the members of the Anti-Horse Thief
association.
The activities of the association are
not now confined to the capture OF
horse thieves, but robbers, burglars,
incendiaries, Migrants and criminals
of all kinds who prey on society are
the sworn foes of the associations
membership. Protect the innocent
and bring the guilty to Justice is
the motto of the body, emphasized in
many criminal proceedings in recent
years.
The present membership of the
association numbers $4,000, gain of
1000 in the last year. Kansas leads
with $4,000. Oklahoma and Indian
Territory have 10000 Ohio 2,400 IL
linois 1900, Missouri 1000, and Ar
kansas ! 800 members. The conven-
ton will be devoted to the transac-
ton of the regular business before
the body and to social and enter
tainment features provided by the
Oklahoma members.
President John W. Wall, of Par
sons, Kan, will preside at the conven-
ton. w. B. Parker, of Sturgeon,
Mo-, is vice president, and j, M.
Pence, of Morrisonville, Ill, secre-
tary
The Anti-Horse Thief association
had its origin during the civil war,
when many lawless bands of thieves
and bandits scourged the border
country and preyed upon honest cit
liens. The first lodge was organized
at Luray, Clark county, Missouri, the
capture of horse thieves being its
especial object. This was in 1863,
and before the war has closed the
association had spread to many other
states.
In some cases, where the civil
authorities were unable to cope with
offenders, horse thieves were melted
out speedy justice at the ends of
ropes. With the return of establish
ed order the society confined it's eff
forts to aiding the regularly consti-
tuted legal officers. With large funds
at its disposal and thousands of mem
bers of the lookout for criminals, the
association has rendered it unprofit-
able, expensive and exceedingly
risky to steal from a member.

AMFRICUS MAN WRITES
LETTER TO 1.-THE" PRICE
Respect to Cotton Situa-
ton.
TELLS THEODORE ABOUT COTTON
Over Signature of Georgia Farmer
an Americas Man Raised Upon
a Farm Talks Back at The
Great Big Bear.
TELLS THEODORE ABOUT COTTON

Several days ago the State papers,
as we'll as several Northern publica-
4ions. gave space to an open letter
addressed to Theodore Price, regard
mo the cotton situation, and deriding
the opinion of, the big boss bear that
the price of cotton would eventually
tumble to eight cents.
AS this Georgia Farmer" is an
Americas travelling man, tho raised
anon a farm and farm owner now,
the Recorder, by request, re-
produces the letter for its readers
Those who know the author can
hest appreciate his remarkable cps
4le which here follows:
Mr., Theodore H. Price,
50 Beaver ST., New York.
Dear Sir: | have read your card
of Sent. 7th carefully and would beg
to saw that | am very much surprised
that a man of your ability should
make such an unreasonable state
,nant thoroughly appreciate your
nosition in the cotton business and
Won certainly must have arrived at
vour conclusion through your desire
and not from facts in getting out this
card.
am quite sure that you do not
honestly believe that all the South
ern people are entirely void of intel
ligence.
have travelled through Georgia,
Texas, Mississippi and a portion OF
Louisiana, and have consulted with
the majority of the largest cotton
mill men in the country and when L
read YOUR card it seemed like joke.
have a small plantation myself.
Will make this year from six to eight
hundred bales of cotton. You are no
doubt in sympathy with the Southern
people, and to relieve your mind OF
any special worry in their behalf
would beg to suggest that you do not
lose any sleep over the South selling
any of their 1907-OS cotton at cts.
| take pleasure in informing you
that the Southern farmers are in
much better financial condition than
you think they are.
| am informed by good authority
that the farmers in the above states
which | have covered are only selling
their first cotton to meet immediate
demands, and will hold balance OF
their crops until they can get the
actual value for their products 1t
has cost the Southern people 8H2
to 10 cents per pound to make this
crop, and they are in position to de-
mand profit on same.
The mill people have got to have
4he cotton and the banks are glad to
get the business.
had recently a personal inter-
view with the president of one OF the
largest cotton mills in this section
and having just taken inventory OF
their business, informs me that they
made over so per cent the past year
and have sold their product for the
next y months on Is cents basis,
and can if necessary pay that price
for cotton and make good money.
Pardon me for troubling you with
such lengthy letter, but the above
are cold and unvarnished facts, so
YOU need not worry about low price
cotton for 1907-08 crop.
Yours truly,
GEORGIA FARMER.
