sometimes they are timid or

The Progress of the South in the
Last Ten Years.


Great progress has been made by
he southern states in the last ten
ears. According to the census fig
dres now available, the thirteen
southern states have population OF
30,911,006 persons. The population
n 1910 was 27,967,924. The increase
or the decade was, therefore, 10 per
:ent. This is not as large gain as
vas made in some other sections of
he country, due, no doubt. to the
TACT that war industries were cen
traliZed on a large scale particularly
in the northern and eastern STAGES
The growth in population since 1870,
Ia period of fifty years, has been
|162 per cent. In other words, the
humber of people in the south is
NEARLY three times as great at the
present time as it was fifty years
ago. The prospect of rapid in
Grease in population is very good.
because our AGRICULTURAL facilities are
constantly enlarging and there is
notable growth along industrial lines
as well.
In the matter of cattle, we did not
make a very satisfactory record. The
ecent census shows that we have 49,
$4,000 head on hand. Hence, there
has been a loss in the last thirteen
years of s.s per cent in cattle. The
TACT that our population gain is 10
|per cent would indicate that we are
hot maintaining live stock industries
lon a basis common Surate with our
needs. For instance, it appears that
lin 1870 we had in round numbers TO-
e 81, 900 head of cattle and 11,7O1.!!O
people. Now we have practically
81 600, 900 people and less than 90
100000 head of cattle.
Our increase in horses over 1917
is represented by a growth of per
BENT. Our increase in hogs over 1907
fs represented by AIS per cent. At
the present time we appear to nave
R6,543,000 of these animals. and L
I'm glad to know that the growth dur
ing the past thirteen years has been
30 substantial. Just the same, we
have less than one hog per capita in
khe south and only two-thirds of a
battle beast and one horse for each
(siv to seven individuals. These fig
llres show that we need to stimulate
hnimal production on a very broad
basis If we are to develop agricul-
lure of our country satisfactorily and
provide our people with all the meat
hnd animal foods needed for home
consumption. I cannot conceive of the

Plan Big Corporation
To Facilitate Export
OfU.S. Naval Stores

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. a.
Plans for the organization Of cor
poration to be known as the Atlantic
purpose of financing foreign trade
were discussed here today at a con-
ference Of naval stores men from
various parts CT the south. REEFS
tablishment Of foreign trade in naval
stores with countries which prior to
the war were large consumers. but
which are now prevented from pur-
chasing heavily through inability to
make the necessary financial arrange
ments, is the purpose of the proposed
organization.
The plan contemplates the sending
of representatives to Germany, Aus
tria, Belgium, Italy and South Amer
lea and such other countries as re-
quire credit, SO that some feasible
plan for extending this credit may be
mapped out.
More than half the normal naval
stores output of the United States
has in the past been consumed by
foreign countries. Prior to 1914,
British and German dealers. handl d
the larger portion of the American
naval stores exports, re-selling to
other countries, including South
America. This was possible, naval
stores men claim, through the finan-
cial organizations of those two coun-
tries. Because of the disarrange-
ment of international trade, these IA
cilities for foreign distribution are
not now available in the same de-
gree as formerly.

DODSON KILLING
USE Of CALO|NEL
Says Drug is Mercury and
Acts Like Dynamite on
Your Liver

Dodson is making hard fight
against calomel in the South. Every
druggist has noticed a great falling
off in the sale of calomel. They all
give the same reason. Dodson's Liver
Tone is taking it's place. 'Calomel
is dangerous and people know it,
while Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
fectly safe and gives better results"
said a prominent local druggist. Dod
sons Liver Tone is personally guar
anteed by every druggist. A large
bottle costs but a few cents, and
If it fails to give easy relief in
every case of liver sluggishness and
constipation, you have only to ask
for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or consti-
pated bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or
cause inconvenience all the next day
like violent calomel. Take a dose
Of calomel today and tomorrow you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don't lose days work! Take Dod-
sons Liver Tone instead and feel
fine, full of vigor and ambition.
