ing take place at Modoc, it was an.
nounced that this would be our next
place of meeting the last week in
August 1920.
Rev. w. H. Canada was called
to the platform the family including
his lovely daughters, Edith and Mel
lie, having been introduced in the
morning.
Mr.. Canada made a good talk on
Edisto Academy, after which pledges
amounting to $50 were taken to
furnish dormitory rooms in the new
building in course of erection, each
room to cost $50. The societies not
present, we are sure, will make up
the deficit and enable US to furnish
three rooms at Edisto this year.
DR.. R. G. Lee of Edgefeld, asso-
ciational organizer of the rs Million
Campaign made most stirring and
eloquent appeal to the women and
all present to do their part in this
|stupendous undertaking. What he
said will be finding fruit in the gifts
of our women this year.
The women appreciated his pres
ence and interest throughout both
days of the meeting.
Rev. G.. G.. Wells of Mountain
Creek who has been interested in
Woman's work ever since he came
into the association, and who had
been with US for the day, was the
only other minister present as the
other pastors were in meetings. Mr..
Wells was therefore the only one
called upon for ten minute talk,
which he did very graciously. His
presence was also highly appreciat-
ed.
Officers were elected as follows
Superintendent, Mrs. J. L. Minis
Secretary, Mrs. Prescott Lyon of
Antioch; Treasurer, Miss Kellar
Fair, Edgefeld; Chairman Mission
Study, Mrs. B. L. Minis, Edgefeld;
First division president, Mrs. w. B.
Cogburn, Edgefeld; Second division
president, Mrs. Donald Smith, An
tioch; Third division president, Mrs.
j. NJ. Bussey, Parksville. Superir-
tendent Sunbeam Societies, Mrs.
Mamie Tillman; Young Woman's
and Girls Auxiliaries and Royal
Ambassadors, Mrs. A. B. Carwile,
Edgefeld.
The meeting adjourned with pray
er by DR.. R. G. Lee after resolutions
of thanks had been read by Mrs. Ma
mie Tillman, Mrs. w. o. Whatley
and Mrs. II. F. Cooper being the
other members of the committee.
Altogether this was the best meet
ing ever held in the association not
withstunding the many hindrances
in the way of the work during the
past year.
Mr.. j. K. Allen acted for the hos
pitality committee and made the an
nouncements for the dinner hour
and for those who staid over night.
One of the most impressive parts
of the program was when Mrs. Fizer
called on those present to say why
they believed in the rs Million Cam
paign. Many women arose and gave
their reasons for believing in it and
many who did not speak arose to
their feet. AS many lifted their
hearts and voices in sentence pray
ers for the success of the work and
of the workers.
Since the meeting at Stevens
Creek, one society has written US to
hurry in getting an organizer for
that church as the women are pray
ing.

MANY NEGROES
/. ON FOOD HONOR
ROLL AT SHOW

The second annual ham show was
held at Americas Institute Friday.
Negro farmers and rural teachers from
all sections of Sumter county re-
ported
T. M Campbell, colored district
agent of Alabama; Prof. NJ. W. Rake
straw, Negro Farmers Conference
agent of the Southern states; A. D.
Cooper, president of Payne College,
Cuthbert, and G. w Patterson, U. S.
demonstration agent, were the princi-
pal speakers.
Some interesting reports were given
by colored farmers of Sumter county.
The most interesting of these was that
of Sallie Jackson, who stated that she
and her husband slept on the floor in
a shanty when they started out, but
by thrift, aggressiveness and economy,
she with her sons, Jury, Henry and
LAI6S OtuCI DOyo, nave SSCuI6u 0Uu
acres of land with a home valued at
$4,000. Last season she with her sons
produced more than rs bales of cot
ton, 1000 bu of corn, 500 blu. sweet po-
tatoes, $500 pounds of hay, 800 BUSH
els of peanuts, 81 bushels of wheat,
$500 pounds of meat and 200 pounds
of lard.
Other farmers whose names appear
upon the food production honor roll
are c. P. Paschal, who produced 300
gallons of syrup; Randall Virgins,
1900 bushels of corn; ]. H. Hooks and
Sam Hill, who each produced 10 tons
of hay; Grenn Tells, $500 pounds of
peanuts; Felix Smith, $50 pounds of
lard; Brantly Carter, 5000 pounds of
meat.
The following prizes were awarded ::

State, at least, be fair enough to in
crease the appropriation for these
schools for all purposes to $4,000 90
each year. This amount has been re-
ceived by the school for the last two
years"
The Comptroller-Gener report
shows that for the years 1915, 1916
1917, the State received on account
of fees as per above 1888, 95220, and
that 1898, 1920 was converted back
into the general Treasury fund, al
though no provision in the original law
nor any subsequent law provides for
such conversion of these funds.
: Since the establishment of these
schools the Comptroller-G Generals re-
port for 1917 shows that with the ex-
ception of the negro school and the
Dahlonega school every other higher
institution of learning has had its APP

this increase representing practically
the same amount that has been con-
verified back into the Treasury on ac-
count of fees that the original law
said at least by inference should for
ever go to the support of the District
schools.
I'VE, as is the case with the other
schools, need more money-need the
money that the original law makers
intended should go to the schools. We
respectfully ask that the House and
the Senate consider the repeating of
any laws in conflict with the section
that heads this article. The State an
nually makes large appropriations to
the Demonstration work. The Dis
trict Schools develop men that they
cannot keep for the reason that the
Demonstration people are able - give
them double the sayary they get at
the district schools. The PROPOSE
ton: That the schools he supported
financially by the State as they de-
serve: that at least part O1 the il
spection fees be reduce | about one
half and save the nc ncy tc the far
mers; or abolish the schools"

THIRD DISTRICT
SCHOOL TOFICHT
FOR MOREFUNDS

Realizing that more money must be
had fl ON the state if it is to develop
cational institution, the trustees of
the Third District agricultural school
here are preparing to make fight
this year before the state legislature
for action making available these
much needed funds.
The plight of the district schools of
the state is set forth by j. NJ Callum,
principal of the school, in the follow
ing, which was prepared for the state
school commissioners report:
"The Act that established the Dis
trict Schools, 1906, reads in part as
follows: That all Iees received from
the inspection of fertilizers, oils, and
all other inspection fees received by
the Department of Agriculture in this
state, after the present year, over the
expenses of such inspection, and after
any portion of said fund otherwise
appropriated, shall be used for a fund
for the purpose of establishing and
maintaining such schools, and as far
as practicable, be equally divided be-
tween such schools, and the saidGov-
ernor is authorized to pay to the trus-
tees of said schools, from time to
time, their respective portions of said
fund"
"Construing the above as a moral
and legal contract on the part of the
State, eleven Counties contributed to
the state during the years of 1906 and
1907 $473,000.00 and 3,14O acres of
Georgia's best farming land About
IL years have elapsed since the pas
sage of the act establishing the schools
So far as known there has not been a
single dollar contributed by these
counties since that time for repairs,
upkeep, or the replacing of equipment
that is now worthless on account of
the long period of years that il has
been used. Had the state kept pact
with these eleven counties. the elev IN
plants would today he n far better
condition and equiort for service.
''The schools have not had a fair
show. First they received less tha I
100000 each year for all purposes.
Then, in 1909 it was made rossibl =
that they received for all purposes
100000 per annum. Georgia was
prospecting. Her farm products va
after year were doubling and then
doubling again. THE FEES THAT
THE STATE HAD PROMISED THE
SCHOOLS WE'RE DOUBLING, AND
DOUBLING AGAIN, until SenGtCrs
and legislators were shown where it
would only be reasonable that the

Indigestion, Gas
and B|oat From
Aciid-Ston1ach

An acid-stomach cannot digest food
properly. Instead, the food sours and
ferments and, passing into the intes-
tines, becomes breeding place for
countless millions of deadly germs
toxic poisons they are called. These
poisons are absorbed into the system
and cause untold misery. So, you see,
it is just acid-stomach, nothing else
that makes SO many people weak,
listless and unfit; saps their strength
and energy; robs them of their vigor
and vitality. Biliousness, bad liver,
nervousness, binding, splitting head
aches, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica
these and many other still more
serious ailments often are traced to
the common source-an acid-stomach.
Take EATONIC and get rid quickly
of the pains of indigestion, heartburn,
that horrible, lumpy, bloated feeling
after eating; disgusting, belching,
food-repeating; sour, gassy stomach.
These stomach miseries are caused by
what doctors call "Hyperacidity."
It's just ACID-STOMACH. And in
addition to the pains and miseries it
causes, ACID-STOMACH is the starter
OF long train of ailments that most
people never dreamed are in any

LETS that you eat like a bit of candy,
quickly put an end to your stomach
troubles. They act as an absorbent -
literally wipe up the excess hurtful
acid and make the stomach pure,

that you get all the power and energy
from your food. You cannot be well

enjoy the good things of life. Like
