PLEASED WITH OUR PEOPLE.
Party on agricultural Train Greatly
Impressed With What They Saw.

Mr.. w. T. Waters, Jr., a staff
correspondent of the Atlanta Jour-
nal who is accompanying the agri-
cultural train on it's tour of the state,
furnished that paper with very in
teresting accounts of the trip through
southwest Georgia. In a lengthy
write-up of the stop at Dawson he
says among other things:
Seven or eight hundred of the
best class of farmers in Georgia met
the train at Dawson. They were
gathered from fertile district that
lends them prosperity, and their big
stature and heavy build showed in
them the health of their climate.
DR.. Soule made some very flattering
reference to this gathering after
Dawson had been left behind
Grows Most Per Acre.
Terrell county, said those around
the train at Dawson, is undoubtedly
one of the very finest counties in
Georgia. 1t is good sign when men
stand together in communities and
say their own neighborhod is the
paradise of mortal man. 1t means
they have something in them and in
their community worth being proud
of.

Description of the
New Three-Pase
Wall Chart

Everything connected with this
chart is based on an experience of
many years of catering to the public
requirements. 1t is safe to say the
arrangement Of maps and pages can
not he improved in any mauner. The
old style map sold by agents is print
cd on two sides. One is in view for
close examination and the other side
is seldom referred to, as few people
think of turning the map to seek in
formation, and then the old style
maps alc so hung that it is often in
convenient to turn the reversible
map.
4 casual glance at this new chart
will demonstrate the ease with which
amy part of it can be consulted. Sim
ply lift the sheet and You can refer
to amy of the maps or data contained
in il without any trouble whatever.
Information printed on the back Of
the sheets is so arranged that it is rs
accessible on the back as the front,
and altogether this chart presents
combination difficult to surpass-in
fact, the only thing of its kind and
embracing the best possible engrav
ing that can be procured.

supcrlluous to speak of the use of
such II map, as it is of daily need in
every Office and home. In fact. it is
aS necessary aS any of the other
maps, to keep one in touch with
happenings III our own country as
daily discussed by the papers. I'm
connection with this are shown pic
lures of the presidents, statistical
matter of useful information, and on
the reverse of this list of our most
important towns and their growth in
the last three census periods
This combination chart is, as we
have before stated, ideal in its con-
ception and in the nature Of its CON
tents. Each page is worth 100 TO
you, and in no other manner can
you place the maps in the moderate
amount of space required by this.
Altogether it is something that YOU
not only need but that you can find
use for, not only for yourself, but
for the family. As an educator for
children it is unsurpassed, They will
be made curious by its attractivenesS
and will study il at leisure from
time to time, thus deriving more
benefit even than from their geo
graphical exercises at school. II is
well to say that each of these maps
embraces more data than the ordi-
nary wall map, which YOU know is
sold at $500.

This shows what is by far the best
state map of Missouri you could
possible obtain, made from the latest
surveys, government maps, railroad
statistics and private data. This
map alone would be cheap at Sl.00.
In fact, that is the regular price
when sold in the usual way by can
VasserS. Beauty Of coloring, clear
ness of type and beauty Of general
appearance make this very attract

easy to find places by using the in

has been to show more towns than

REACHING THE SPOT
It Can Be Done, So Scores of New
 town Citizens Say.

To cure an aching back,
 The pains of rheumatism,
 The tired-otlt feelings,
 You must reach the soot'-gW at the cause.
 In most cases 'tis the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid- neys.
 Mrs Thomas Cavanaugh. living on the Boulevard Road. Newtown, Conn.,, says: "While not i'll enough to go to bed, have been far from well during the past year on account of rheuma- tism and kidney trouble. l suffered from intense pains through the small of my back and swelling of my limbs. The passages of the kidney SC. cretions would be scanty at times while at others too profuse and caused me much annoyance. had but little am. bition and felt generally miserable when l began using Doan's Kidney pills short time ago. After l had taken the contents of two boxes, there was a great improvement in my con dition, my feet stopped swelling, the kidney secretion became regular in action and had very little backache. l consider Doan's Kidney Pills the best remedy l ever used."

and records are being turned out ev- cry day in the week.
 Grasp just few more figures and then sit comfortably back with the gratifying realization that the country, after all, is not going to the dogs, and that there is little loose change in the pockets of the average Amer ican citizen. In the various buildings of the Edison works there is floor space of fourteen acres, while the en- tire plant itself occupies eighteen acres The engine, playing no unim- porant part in the life of one of Amer ica's most famous manufactories, has grown from fifty to fifteen hundred horse power. In all the departments four thousand five hundred people are employed, making it one uf the most important factors in the wellbeing of the working people of the Oranges, Newark and other nearby places. All of these are now working overtime, and in the record department the de- mand is such that the labor continues every night in the week save Sunday. When one considers that this plant and this labor are devoted to the making of machines intended only for pleasure, one begins to believe that the people are not particularly poverty stricken.
 To keep the public In touch with the marvellous output of "The Wizards" creation, an almost incredible amount of printer ink is required. Catalogues to the number of three million six hundred thousand copies are printed every year, and the lists of new rec ords issued annually averages twenty four millions. The public need never be without music, since the fairly generous amount of two million rec ords is at all times kept in stock at Orange. While the sapphire is not the most costly of precious stones, when it is considered that more than ten thousand of them are used every week in the making of photograph records it will be realized that the bill for this item alone is not an insignificant one. The sapphires must be of absolute smoothness. having a higher polish than, for example, three hundred dollar diamond. It is here, too, that Edison has outdistanced his lmitators, all of whom require different ne edle for every individual record.
 The huge plant at Orange, the mag nitude of which is the amazement of every one who visits it for the first time, is not entirely devoted to the manufacture of the photograph. With in these concrete walls, the buildings being separated by lawns of carefully tended grass and pavements, are made many of the products of the ceaseless Edison invention. These include the projecting kinetoscope and its films, the Edison primary battery, which is adapted for railroad and almost every need but that of the automobile, the Bates numbering machine, which, while it does not bear its name, is really an Edison invention, and the Edison stor- age battery, which is almost ready for the market and uses cobalt, min eral earth, in place f lead, used in

While many objects once looked on as luxuries are now regarded as ab- solute necessities, the phonograph can scarcely be considered as having reached that stage.
