The Progressive Farmer is SAID
to be, by the best judges, by far,
the best farm Journal published
in the South. That is the reason
we have selected it to club with
the Enterprise in an effort to get it
before the farmers of this county.
We believe it is worth ten times
the cost of both papers to any
farmer who has the slightest pride
in his business.

CAN'T FIND ANY COMFORT
Backache, Rheumatic Joints and
Uric Acid Troubles Follow
Sick Kidneys.

There's no rest and but little
peace for any person whose kidneys
are out of order.
Not only does backache keep up
its dull throb, day and night, but
there are sharp tWinges, cricks and
stitches of darling pain, achy points
and sore, stiff muscles.
Uric acid troubles -rhematism
neuralgia, nervousness sciatica,
govt, weak eyes. headaches, ETC.,
follow rapidly when the weakened
kidneys fail to filter the blood free
from uric poisons.
There is danger of dropsy, Bright's
disease, gravel, stone in the kid
neys and diabetes.
To cure any of the above describ-
ed ills, you must get right at the
cause. You must get the kidneys
into good order by using a good
kidney remedy, and there is none
better than Doan's Kidney Pills, a
remedy that is for the kidneys only
and is composed of simple, yet
effective vegetable ingredients. 1t
cures and heals sick kidneys and
drives poisonous uric acid out of
the system.
CONVINCING PROOF.
G. R. Henderson, of 215 N. Cen
trail Ave-, Triton, Ga, says: Il con-
firm all l said in praise of Doan's
Kidney Pills in April 1908. They
permanently cured me of kidney
trouble, and l could not be too
grateful to them"

The Textile Industry is Not
Satisfactory
Cotton Mills Dare Not Buy Much Cot
ton and Manufacture Much Cotton
Goods in the Face of the Demo
cratic Threat of Free Trade.

Boston Commercial Bulletin
The textile end Of the manufacture
ing business of this country at the
present time is far from satisfactory.
Early in the year mills throughout
the country began to curtail their
production and have gradually furth-
er curtailed their output until now
there are but very few mills that are
running at full capacity.
In nearly every issue Of the daily
papers are seen notices of cotton ana
woolen mills closing down some for
a few days, some for week or two
and others for an indefinite period;
manufacturers say this closing is due
to lack of business. Can it be that
the people of to-day are wearing less
clothing than formerly? Even If this
is to so, the population Of the coun-
try is rapidly growing and it seems
that the demands of the people, as
whole, must be great enough to onset
the loss in individual demand.
Is this the real cause or is it be-
cause manufacturers fear reduction
in prices and in order to maintain the
present prices are shortening the
production. If the latter is the cause
il is most unfortunate, for the clos
ing down Of mills throws thousands
| Of people out Of work. These people
are dependent entirely upon their
earnings from week to week, and IL
thew are compelled to remain idle
through the shut-downs the purchas-
ing power of the community is cur
tailed to the extent Of the wages they
would have earned in the interval OF
idleness, and while the operatives are
the most acute sufferers, the Whoie
| business community is affected by
, any interruption Of the regular en-
pIoyment of labor.
AS the textile mills of Great Brit
ian are in a fairly prosperous condl-
tion. it seems reasonable to ascr1be
: the poor state of the textile industry
} here to tariff uncertainty. A manu-
, facturer cannot be expected to Keep
. his machinery at work turning out
product that he cannot sell aid the
iobber is not inclined to give big Or
ders, knowing that when the tarln
tinkerers get to work at the next ses'
: sion OF Congress goods bought now
: may have to be sold at heavy loss
1t is sincerely to be hoped that We
are to see tariff questions separated
e from party politics in the near fu
0 ture and settled on economic princi
. piles, for that appears to be the onl,
wav to escape from the periods of de
preston caused by the fear OF hostile
tariff legislation.

Estimates for England and Italy
refer TO demands for American cot
ton only.
Twenty Million Bales.
It is thought that including the
normal demands Of Greece, Portugal,
Sweden, Denmark, Norway, British
India and all other countries, this
amount would. be increased by al
most 1000. 0.000 bales. England and
Italy require about 10000 bales
more than estimated above for their
total consumption. With these addi-
tions the amount would be approx
mately 15,26S.112 bales IL the
American consumption were the same
as that In 1910. the total amount OF
cotton needed during the this cotton
year would be about 20,00e, 900
bales, compared with 1922, 900
bales consumed by mills through ort
the world In 1910.
1t is pointed out. however, that the
State Departments estimate OF the
needs OF China l2,300.o00 balesl
probably includes large quantity OF
cotton consumed by hand looms and

That Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst's
addresses in this country will do the
woman suffrage movement more harm
than good is clearly apparent, and
why our mild-mannered suffragettes
seek the assistance of such a rabid
agitator is beyond conjecture. Her
method of campaigning cannot be &C.
curately designated as otherwise than
violent, lawless and anarchistic. She
defends her English colleagues in
their brick throwing and window
smashing procedure upon the grounds
that it was justifable under the cir
cumstances. Emma Goldman, the
notorious anarchist, incites to riot on
no greater scale thar does she.
