The State Chamber Of Commerce
FaV0rs Lee County Cotton Plan
Wide approval being given plan nauguraed here BY H.
Smith who owns large Lee county plantation.

The Lee county plan, 4 says i
circular issued by the Georgia Cham
Der Of Commerce promises to BE-
an epoch in the cotton states, and
will limit next years production to
probably more than half OF the crop
of 1914.
If carried to its conclusion in
Georgia, it will retire from use for
cotton production 1890, 900 acres,
which wer. this year planted in the
staple, and leave that acreage for
food and other crops.
The movement aims at the cur
tailment o. the cotton crop for the
purpose Of sustaining prices, and
will operate as a sort of a prop to
the &C ton purchasing movement. In
addition to this, it will virtually
place upon the southeastern farmer
the necessity Of following a course
which he has long talked Of as
wise program namely, the diversi
fication Of his crops.
The farmers Of Lee county have
already petitiened the Superior
court Of Lee county for a charter,
the petitioners being ]. M. Cannon,
A. w Livingston, Holley Tyler
and H. L. Long, of that county.
They ask to be incorporated under
the name Of the Cotton Growers
association, " for a period Of twenty
years and as an educational and So
cid organization not for pecaniary
gain, and without capital stock
The object of the organization, as
set forth in the petition isto pro-
mote the social welfare Of farmers
and to educate its membership on
the subjects Of diversifying crops,
improving farm methods and re-
stricting the amount Of cotton acre
age throughout the cotton-producing
section Of the United States.
The plan Of organization is that
the corporation shall consist Of the
owners Of not less than % per cent
Of the cotton-producing lands Of the
county. 1t shall be governed BY a
board Of directors, who shall BE- se-
lected one from each militia district
This board of directors will elect its
own chairman, who shall represent
the county organizationi in the excu-
tive committee Of the state organiza-
ton.

Mothers Tell Of
Mothers Friend

Experience is or should be our best
teacher. Women who have obeyed the
highest and noblest OF all sacrifices, the
struggle for the life Of others, should
have better idea Of helpful influence
than those who theorize from observation.
At any rate when prospective grand
mother urges her daughter to do as she
did--to use ssMother's Friend" there is
reason to believe 1t the right advice.
Mothers Friend is an external ap-
plication for expectant mothers. It's pur-
pose is to furnish pliancy to the muscles,
to take away the strain on the cords and
ligaments, to relieve the tension OF nerves
and tendons SO apt to provoke or ag-
gravate nausea, morning sickness, twitch-
ings of the limbs and so on.
y Although, in the nature of things, a
woman would use Mothers Friend" but
but rarely, yet so effective has it been
found that this splendid remedy is on sale
in most drug stores throughout the
United States. It has been prepared by
Bradield Regulator Co., 406 Lamar Bldg,
Atlanta, Ca, and advertised by us for
over forty years This is q fine record
for such a special remedy and the CRATE
full letters received to-day are just as
appreciative as were those of years ago
notwithstanding that methods are sup-
posed to have greatly advanced. Ask at
the drug store for a bottle of Mothers
Friend" IT is worth while.

There is no propaganda proposed or

Indeed, Protestants and Masons are
