SOUTHERN FARMERS BEHIND.
Secretary Wilson Not Satisfied With
the South Agriculturally.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Secretary
Wilson, of the department OF agri-
culture. IS not satisfied with the ad-
vancement of the South agricultu-
rally, as compared with its gains in
manufacture. He has just returned
from the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Farmers Congress at Raleigh,
n. c., and while in that State he
made an investigation Of its agricul-
tural department. His inquiry has
not satisfied him, according to a
statement made yesterday.
While the manufacturers Of that
section have wrested control OF the
cottor and other mills from outsid-
ers. tn" farmers of North Carolina
have not been keeping up to the
same standard Of enterprise. Dur
ing his visit to North Carolina the
Secretary visited Raleigh, Durham
and Greensboro, making excursions
from those points into the adjacent
country.
Mr.. Wilson declared that within
the near future there Is certain to be
an influx of Northern and Western
farmers to North Carolina and other
agricultural States, for the Northern
and Western lands can be sold at a
price per acre sufficient to buy two
acres In the South.

"Nubbins" Cause Pellagra q?

San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 12.-The
feature Of yesterdays session Of the
annual convention of the Southwest
Medical Association was the address
of DR.. William Brumby, Texas State
health officer, who yesterday exhib-
tied a patient suffering with pellagra.
AS preventive measures DR.. Brumby
suggested the exercising of the great
est vigilance in using corn or corn
products, in order that mouldy or
decaying cereal be not used. He also
urged that an inspector be appoint
ed, whose duties 1t shall be to see
that millers do not utilize the "nub-
bins or bad ears of, corn, and Civ
Ing him plenary powers to seize and
condemn any consignment OF corn
showing mouldiness.
In using corn on the cob, he sug-
gested that millers should break off
ends or mbs, as these are most liable
to contain the germs Of the disease.

Deafness CanDOt be Cured

by local applications. rs they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear There Is only one way to cure
deafness, and that Is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is innamed you have
rumblinS sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t Is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation 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 inflamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.

first went from home to Central,
Pickens county, and will say that the
toughest road that can be found, l
think, is the one l travelled. Oconee

from Old Pickens to the Six-Mile

things get to the worst there will be

change will start soon for the better.
At any rate | hope so.
From Little River, at the Norton
place, to old Pickens, the road is al
most past travelling. There is, how
ever, some good to be seen over these
bad places, as the farmers every
where are sowing wheat and oats.

sowed down in small grain, and from
the size of some it looks uncommon.
| talked with good many as to why
they were sowing SO much, and the
general answer was that they are eX-
pecting guano to be high next spring
from the price Of cotton, cotton seed
meal and acid, from which good
portion of guano is made, and they
will try grain.
I saw. some Of the best cotton and

Who Swallowed the June Bupo

vii! relate an incident of the
civil War, and viii let the reader
decide who has swallowed the June
bug. When Gen. Lees army crossed
the Potomac orders We're read out to
the troops that all property should
be respected, even to fruit, vegetables
ana fowls. In my regiment was a
nan whom everybody called Big
Nasty While we were at Chambers
burg, on Sunday, we were ordered to
tear up the railroad track. Right
near the railroad lived an old lady
who had large flock Of ducks. big
Nasty always carried a fish hook
and long line. He caught a jane
bug. put his hook through the bug
and tied rock above the hook and
threw 1T into the flock of ducks
There was a scramble for the bait,
and large old drake got the bug,
nook and all. big Nasty" began to
wind in the line, and the drake
spread his wings and pulled back
with "quack, quack," and all the
ducks following, making a great
noise. The old lady. hearing the
racket, came running out and crying
at the top of her voice, (not Sunday
school-like by any means, What are
you doing to my ducks?"
Nothing said big Nasty.
your duck has swallowed n June
bug and 1t has made him sick"
Just so with the highland sharks.
They threw out bait last spring and
summer, and quite a number of the
farmers bit at 1t, and, like the old
drake, they swallowed the June hug
and 1t has made them sick. But
stand out In the open, men, and take
your medicine. -

TO Reduce Mileage to Five Cents.

The Farmers National Congress,
in session at Raleigh, N. c., recently,
adopted resolutions demanding the
reduction Of the mileage paid to Con-
gressmen from 10 cents to 5. The
10 cents mileage was fixed in the old
stage coach days, and has been al
lowed to remain, regardless Of the
constant and steady reduction that
has been going on since. The aver
age Congressman gets back 10 cents
for every 3 cents he pays out while
travelling on official business, and
those who cross the country from the
Pacific coast have quite nice thing
of 1t In travelling expenses alone.

BIG FAMILY REUNION
HELD NEAR OCILLA

OCILLA. Ga. Aug. 2S.-About 100 years
ago Micajah Paulk came to Irwin county
and located within four miles of this
place, and from him sprung one of the
largest and most prominent families in
the state as evidenced by a reunion of
the Paulk family on the 18th inst, at the
nearest church building to the old home of
Micajah Paulk, where about 500 Paulks
and 700 of their kinsmen assembled and
spent the day pleasantly in a picnic.
J. L. Paulk. of this place, was made
chairman of the meeting. and all relatives
were enrolled and formed one of the larg-
est rosters of any family in Georgia. FL
bert Paulk, of Fitzgerald. Ca, was the
Oldest of the family present, and who is
one of Ben Hill county's leading and best
citizens. The Ocilla Southern railroad,
which has just been completed from this
Point to Alapaha, Ga, run special train
for the occasion and took packed coaches
from this point and from Conee and Ber-

Of a turnpike from Blue Ridge to Rabun

viii be IS miles long. and will cost 500. 0OU.
BETTER ROADS IMPERATIVE.
Better roads. Mr.. Cooper states. are i'm
perative. because some Of the counties are
losing their population simply because OF
the poor hauling and travelling facilities.
Towns county has lost 400 people in the
last IS months. Mr.. Cooper states, Gnd
during the past IL years. 1900 out OF It's
population OF 10000 have sought other
aelds.
But Mr. Cooper believes the good roads
movement will continue and in the not far
distant futufe, make north Georgia one OF
the greatest agricultural sections in the
south.
