1T blights the lives of people before

Starting at twenty, a young man as a
total abstainer will live to be sixty-five:
as a moderate drinker he will die at
fifty-one. Do not talk to me about tenn
perance when it will cut fourteen and a
half years out of the life of the average
man, though he never gets drunk in nh
life. It will cause the heavy drinker to
die at thirty-five, cutting thirty years
out Of his life. To be simply a moderate
drinker, to drink but once a day beer or
wine, will quadruple in the family the
chance Of miscarriage for the mother,
will increase yearly 100 per cent the num-
her Of children that will die in the first
year of infancy, and the children of
drinking parents die OF at the rate of
from four to five times as many as those
OF abstaining parents n the ages where
they ought to be protected. Alcohol act

This resolution places squareIy before
Congress the greatest question and the
most difficult problem that has confront
ed Congress and the American people
since slavery. This is the greatest oues-
tion in the life history of the human
species, actually determining more than
all other questions combined the perpet-
uity Of any civilization. Today fourteen
sovereign States are Statewide dry and
five more are expected to become State
wide dry in 1918. Today IS per cent of
all the people Of the United States live
under prohibition law enacted by their
own majority votes. OF all the area of
continental United States Is per cent is
now dry territory. No one need talk
about a minority of the people trying to

Fitzgerald Raises a PERTH
nent Question

When a neighbor tells US that
he has recovered from a serious
illness, the first question that
naturally arises is, "How long will
he keep well!" Temporary relief
is one thing, but lasting cure is
altogether different. There is
nothing temporary about the work
of Doan's Kidney Pills as the fol-
lowing Fitzgerald evidence proves
beyond a doubt.
William Goebler, retired tailor,
211 Roanoke Drive, Fitzgerald,
says: "My kidneys had troubled
me for years. My back ached
nearly all the time. couldn't rest
at night. was often so lame and
stiff that l couldn't get around. l

B|BB FARMERS
APPEAL TO SLATON
Will ask Governor to Call
Special Session.

Macon, Ga, Sept. Sat a
meeting of the farmers of Bib
county today it was decided to
send committee of representa-
tive business men and farmers of
the county to Atlanta next Tues
day to appeal to Gov. Slaton to
call special session of the Leg
islature for the purpose of enact
ing laws to relieve the cotton
situation IN Georgia.
Just what plan of action will
be proposed has not been fully
decided on yet, but the meeting
today went on record as unani
mously adopting the proposition
of Anderson for a tax of five
cents per pound for every pound
Of cotton over three 500 pound
bales to the pillow, raised during
1915.
Another suggestion by T, r.
Aver, representative-elect from
this county, was that the Legis-
lature pass a law staying execu-
ton of debts due merchants. He
said this would bring immediate
relief and would afford the far
mers an opportunity to hold their
cotton for higher prices.
Joe Hill Hall proposed the
suspension of the public schools
for a year and suspend all un-
necessary appropriations, using
the money to handle the cotton
crop. The Bibb farmers express
sed themselves as being in hear
ty accord with the Georgia Cot
ton Congress and plans are al
ready on foot to organize this
county thoroughly and curtail
production next year.

Farmers Are Urged
To Diversity Crops

Albany, Ga, Sept. AT the
recent convention of the Georgia
State Agricultural Society held
in this city, the following resolu-
tons were offered by Judge John
A. Cobb, general vice president,
and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the length of
the war in Europe and its result
ing influences upon conditions in
this country have proved SO de-
pressing in so many respects,
therefore, we call upon the far
mers of Georgia to exercise the
Strictest economy possible in their
expenses Of every character, and
to proceed at once for a seIf-sup-
porting condition by planting fall
crops Of every kind = both garden
and field-raising hogs, cattle
and sheep and run a successful
campaign Of hog and hominy.'
''Resolved, That in pitching
Cheir crops for 1915 they should
let food supplies be their main
crop and make cotton what it
properly should be, surplus crop.
1--WE have seen darker and
more depressing days than we
are now passing through, but
what prevented serious suffering
was that our smokehouses and
cribs were full. A determination
ON the part of our people to act
in concert for what is the benefit
of all-be cheerful and encourage
each other, and we will find that
things are net as discouraging as
they might be. Be cheerful and
you will be happy.

Transferred to N. Y.

Paris, Sept 4. Heavy trans

Atlanta Open Market
For Fresh Meats

Atlanta, Ga, September 8 The
markets of Atlanta are open to
the farmers of Georgia who wish
TO ship fresh meats to Atlanta.
This has been made possible by an
ordinance adopted by the City Of
Atlanta, which permits any such
fresh meats, when bearing proper
certificate signed by the shipper,
to be sent to Atlanta, without the
inspection and approval of an
authorized State Meat Inspector.
1t is provided, however, that be-
fore being offered for sale, fresh
meats shall be inspected and APP
proved by one of the Meat Inspec-
tors for the City of Atlanta, who
will visit each depot in the City of
Atlanta IN the morning and after
noon Of each day, for the purpose
making this inspection.
With the city markets and CITY
homes of Atlanta open to such
shipments and the Southern Elk
press Company Offering low rates
and prompt delivery in Atlanta,
the farmers are afforded a wonder
full mar ket for their meats.
" hat is true of Atlanta will
probably be true 0 the other cities
of the State in a short while. At
lanta has long been an open market
for fruits, vegetables and other
country produce, but it is only
Since the adoption Of the ordinance
referred to above that it has been
possible to express meats to this
city with satisfaction.
