HOW TO CURE RNEUMATISM
1t Is An Internal Disease And Re-
lMireS An Internal Remedy

qHires An Internal Remedy.
The cause of rheumatism and kindred
diseases Is an excess OF uric acid in tho
blood. TO cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be
formed In excessive quantities. Rheuma-
tism Is an internal disease and requires
an internal remedy. RUBBING with
Oils and Liniments WILL NOT CURE,
affords only temporary relief at best,
causes you to delay the proper treat
ment, and allows tho malady to get O
firmer hold on you. Linimcnts may ease
the pain, but they will no more cure
rheumatism than paint will change the
fiber Of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a per-
feet and complete cure, which Is called
Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds Of cases,
1T has effected the most marvellous cures;
we believe 1t will cure you. Rheumacide
gets at the joints from the inside sweeps
the potsons out of the system, tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver and
kidneys and makes you well all over.
Rheumacide strikes the root OF the dis
ease and removes it's cause. This splen-
did remedy is sold by druggists and
dealers generally at SOC. and 81 a bottle

SOUTH AND THE CORN CROP.
Nothing to Keep Us from Becoming
Richest Section in Union.
(Hartwell sun.)

If anybody had predicted a few
years ago that the corn crop OF the
South would, in the near future, in
fuence the cotton market he would
have been called dreamer. 1t was
thought then that the South was SO
firmly welded to cotton, and that
her average yield of corn per acre
was SO small that she would never
become large producer Of corn.
But the farmers Of the South have
been doing a good deal Of thinking
these last few years, with the result
that this "ccc- NE corn production of
fourteen Southern States amounts to
nearly 5000, 100000 bushels. That
Is record to be proud OF.
Instead Of depending upon the
West for her corn the South will
soon have corn 10 sell. The yield of
the whole country Is only little
more than 3,000,00O,OOO bushels,
and the South is producing nearly a
third of it. And the South Is Only
beginning to grow it on the inten-
sive plan. During this year her
boys corn clubs have demonstrated
that on Southern soil as many bush
els per acre can be grown as in the
West. yhe South hasn't been neg
lecting cotton. More acres of that
plant are being cultivated than ever
before, but both corn and cotton are
holm o.
the larger yield
The fact that Southern corn is in
iiuencing the price Of that article in
the markets OF the world is certain
to be big advertisement for the
South. The West has always had
the impression that the South could
not grow corn profitably, and that,
therefore, she wasn't adapted to the
raising OF cattle and hogs. The
South's corn crop this year will
bring about a change in that i'm
| preston. 1t will open the eyes OF
the world TO the fact that the South
can compete with the North in the
| raising of cattle and hogs, and hence
in the course of comparatively few
years we may reasonably expect to
see great packing houses in the
Southern States-packing houses
that will not only supply the home
market, but help to supply foreign
! markets.
And there is another thing the
| world is going to learn in the near
| future, and that Is that the South
can raise hay in competition with
the North. At the conference Of the
State commissioners Of agriculture
in Atlanta recently the commissioner
OF Mississippi said that the farmers
or his State were meeting with great
success In raising alfalfa. If that
remarkable plant will thrive in Mis-
sissippi there Is no reason why Il
Will not thrive in every other South
ern State. 1t is being eXpe~' 1ented
with here in Georgia and also in
South Carolina, and there is every
reason for thinking that the expert
ments will be successful. With corn
and alfalfa in abundance, and a mo-
noDoly in cotton, what is to hinder
the South from becoming the richest
part Of the United States?
