MERCER IS ENTIRELY
OUT OF ALL DEBT
OUT OF OLD DEBT HAD IN0E5TE
OUT OF OLD DEBT. HAD INDERT
EpNEss or $4,000 ONLY 1s

| Macon Jan, 7.-iThat Mercer Uni
versity is for the first time in long
time in a long number of years en-
tirely out of Vebt and that within the
next go days the balance Of the in
debtedness against the endowment
fund of the Baptist institution will be
wiped cut, was the interesting an
ncuncement made by President Ru-
fus W. Weaver at Hhe convocation
held in the chapel at Mercer this
morning.
According to DR.. Weaver eighteen
months ago Mercer University had
an Indebtedness of $4,000 and had
borrowed an additional sum of $13O
600 from the endowment of the in
stitution, making total indebted
ness at the banks and against the
endowment Of $4,000. The last note
against the school at the bank was
paid last week.
This means that the school does
not owe a dollar of the original debt
to any one and that only $4,000 of
the debt due the endowment Of the
institution is yet to be paid. DR..
Weaver stated that the school is re
ceiving funds every day to pay off
this balance and that within 60 days
the entire endowment of the school
will be restored to where 1t was be-
fore anything was borrowed

COTTON MATURITY STUDY
AT EXPERIMENT STATION

On heavy clay sail the largest yield
was obtained from 500 pounds of an
1872. formula this formula also
gave the highest yield to Oct /. and
the highest per cent open by Oct l.
The highest yield on a medium
clay soil was obtained where 600
pounds of S-3.9 formula was used.
This particular soil "rusted" and the
heaviest potash fertilizer gave the
highest total yield, but a formula
analyzing S-3-6 gave the highest
yield open Oct /.
On a sandy soil the highest yield
to Oct. was made 800 pounds of a
formula analying S13-3 was used.
The use of acid phosphate in the
formula invariably FASTENED the ma
turity of the cotton.
When lime was used with acid
phosphate maturity was delayed,
Topdressing experiments showed
that late application of a mixture
of sulphate of ammonia and nitrate
OF soda at the rate of 40 pounds oi
the farmer with 60 pounds of the
latter gave profitable increases in
yield. This topdresser was applied
about the middle of July.

Regular Habits Produce
a Beautiful Complexion
Daily elimination rids the system of posOns.
Women should realize that!

\ KANY women complain
MI daily Of their complexion,
= Of their headaches and gem
eral i'll health, little realizing
that the trouble is constipation.
Women, too, are much more sub
ject to such congestion than men,
and much more careless Of it.
The result is seen in lusterlcss,
weary eyes, in sallow, pimply
complexion, in lassitude, bad
breath, and in that word so often
used, "indisposed."
At the first sign of these symp-
toms the wise woman will take a
laxative, and will see that the
young girl and others in her care
do likewise. Dr.. Caldiwell's Syrup
Pepsin is the favorite with thou
sands Of women because it is mild
and gentle in its action and in the
end trains the stomach and bowel
muscles TO do their work naturally
without the aid Of medicine.
