Protect Minority Stockholders.

We heartily agree with some of the
candidates for governor that some pro-
lection should be given the minority or
small stockholders in the cotton mills.
1t frequently happens that northern
capital is brought here to assist in
building a mill. When once IN the sac,
die, these capitalists secure control and
afterwards nobody seems to know why
dividends are not declared nor why the
stock depreciates below par. Different
reasons are assigned. Why not md
out these reasons for a certainty and
then plan to correct them? Some law
ought to be passed for the protection
of the small stockholders of the cotton
mill. If they are to lose their stock,
let's. at least, find out who gets it.

Sow Peas Now.

1t is now too late to plant corn
but not too late to sow peas. Every
available piece of ground should be
planted in peas. They not only sup
ply an abundance of the richest for
age for the stock and add vegetable
matter to the soil but they store nj
trogen. the most expensive element
of plant food, in the ground.
Always follow grain with peas.
Have some growing crop upon your
land continuously. Nothing better

A Substantial Saving.

If Congressman Lever is correct in
his estimate that his bill if it becomes
a law, will save 500, 900, 900 to cotton
producers, that would mean something
like sS on each bale, which will be
quite an item in the pocket of the far
mer. But that is probably why the
bill will not become a iaw.-Iorkville

Teach Your Child
HoU TO be Healthy
PeqnIar BogOel MoVement
From Infancy dnsures Good
Health In Later Years.

We cannot all start life with the
advantages of money, but every child
born is entitled to the heritage Of
good health. Through unfortunate
ignorance or carelessness in the feed
ing of a baby its tiny stomach may
become deranGed. The disorder
spreads to the bowels, and before the
mother realizes IL the two chief or
gans on which the infants comfort
and health depend are causing 1t
great suffering. If the condition is
allowed to continue grave ailments
often result.
There is however, no occasion for
alarm. and the sensible thing to do
but it should be done instantly-is to
give the baby a small dose of mild
iaxatiVe-tonic. In the opinion of a
great many people. among them such
we'll known persons as the parents of
Bertha Lee Woodland. 3 years Old. Of
Moultrie, Ga, the proper remedy is
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Mrs l.
N. Woodland says that little Bertha
was troubled with constipation for
ever a year, and that after trying
several different kinds Of remedies
she found her relief in Syrup Pepsin.
It is a mild, plea sant-tasting laXa-
tive. which every person likes, does
not grippe nor cramp. and contains that
most excellent Of all digestants, pep
sin.

their yellow banners from the White
House to the Capitol next Saturday
in the parade that Is being staged to

will clash with the crimson hue of

against votes for women have got the
word to display the red rose as an
outward and visible sign of their dis

The red rose will be worn by anti

important occasions. The edict from
the National Association Opposed to
Woman Suffrage has been made to
