THE TEST THAT TELLS.
Is The Test of Time. Many Lexing-
ton People Have Made This Test.

Years ago this Lexington citizen
told in public statement, the bene-
fit derived from Doan's Kidney Pills.
The statement is now confirmed-the
testimony complete. Instances like
this are numerous. They doubly prove
the merit Of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Can any Lexington reader demand
more convincing proof? It's Lex
ington testimony-it may be inves-
tigated.
W. v. Barry, Jackson, Street, says:
81 have used Doan's Kidney Pills and
found them to be a wonderful medi-
cine. recommend them to be just as
represented" Statement given Feb
ruary 20, 1911
On May "a, 1918 Mr.. Barry said:
II am glad to say kidney trouble
has not bothered me to any extent
since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me
several years ago. am glad to again
recommend this remedy"
Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Mr.. Barry had. Milburn Co,

States Bureau Of Animal Industry
there has been under way most ex-
tensive campaign for the establish
ing Of tuberculosis-free accredited
herds, and at present there are 122
pure bred herds Of cattle fully ar
credited and 533 under supervision.
There have also been held 1T hog
cholera educational meetings with a
total attendance of 3473 farmers.
An interesting observation has been
the movement of dairy cattle into and
out Of the state during these two
years, showing 1926 head exported
and 1882 head imported. The move
ment of such cattle is permitted only
on health certificates including the
tuberculin test records, and there
fore become an important part of
our work on tuberculosis eradica-
ton.
The office of the state veterinar-
ian, while operated on the basis of
service efficiency, has at the same
time been conducted in a business-like
manner as revealed by the following
financial statement:
Balance of appropriation
available Dec. l, 1918,. ....$4,411.16
! Biennial appropriation avail
able March 10, 1919,. 24,716.01
Total expenditures from
Dec. l, 1919, to Dec l,
1920, ................................17, 467.25
Banance of appropriation
available Dec. l, 1920, ......9, 966.71
The appropriation now available
extends until July /, 1921, and under
present conditions is ample to serve
the live stock interests of the state.
The dairy industry of Tennessee
has increased more during the last
two years than it has during any 9TH
er two years in the history of the
state. The largest increase was made
by the creameries. In 1919 the twen-
ty creameries in operation, includ-
/, ing six new creameries which start
ed operation that year, manufactured
$685. $40 pounds of butter. This was
an increase of 1,770,614 pounds over
1918. In 1920 the thirty creameries
now in operation manufactured
6,223, 725 pounds of butter. This was
an increase of 2,291, 1875 pounds over
1919, and an increase of 4,061, 619
pounds over 1918, ten creameries hav-
ing been put in operation in 1920.
The farmers of Tennessee will be
able to pitch the crop of 1921 in every
respect except one, and that is the fl
nancial question. However, find up
on investigation that the bankers and
merchants are ready and willing to
cooperate with the farmers, and
with their aid and renewed resolution
upon our part, and with more energy
and industry we will be able to pro-
duce another large crop and live COM
fortably.

TO THE FARMERS
OF TENNESSEE.

AS Commissioner Of Agriculture ]
wish to call your attention to several
matters of immediate concern to you.
While agricultural conditions
throughout the United States are not
at all reassuring, feel like congratu-
lating the farmers Of Tennessee upon
the fact that conditions in this state
are much more inspiring than those
that prevail in other states, particu-
larly those on-wealths that are
mainly dependent upon single crop.
Tennessee is admirably situated geog-
raphically, with an equable climate,
our live stock interests have not suf-
fered comparatively with those re-
ported from other states but still with
the marked slump in values that has
come to us in the last twelve months
we necessarily feel the pinch and are
prone to imagine that we are in no
better condition than the farmers of
those states not so abundantly bless
ed as our own, when as a matter of
fact we are much better off.
But the time has come when we
must get down to bedrock; when we
must spare no effort to promote re-
turn to that wholesome normalcy
that characterized our mode of living
before overtaken by the chaotic con-
ditions produced by the great war.
To achieve these ends we must
eschew etravagance and adopt a
sane system of economy and industry.
We have been living beyond our
means-been JOY riding, as it were;
but the time has come when we must
return to first principles and go to
work. This department stands ready
to aid you in every possible way.
Tennessee is essentially an agri-
cultural and live stock state. The
achievements of the veterinary de.
partment during my administration
have not perhaps escaped your atten
tion.
The wor kfrom the office of the
state veterinarian on live stock SAM
tary control has broadened it's scope
of usefulness very materially during
the last two years, and the live stocl
interests of the state are demanding
more and more on the assistance
which is available from this source.
The diseases which have received
special attention include hog cholera
tuberculosis, hemorrhagic septicemia
black-leg, contagious abortion, CLAN
ders and internal parasitis.
From December |, 1918, to Deem
Der |. 1920, there were SS1 out
breaks Of disease among live stock re
ported, all Of which were Investigate
ed. During the same period there
were tested for tuberculosis 5S,54l
head Of cattle. out Of which 40 re.
acted to the test, showing the rela.
lively low percentage (.S3) of bovine
tuberculosis in our state at the pres.
ent time, and which will do much to-
ward making Tennessee enc of the
best cattle growing states in the I'm
ion.

Is it possible that they were not

When a white man breaches social

has no hesitation in saying that toll
Grafton of such preaching is and
ought to be impossible in the South,
but that is not saying that stripes
and tar and feathers, masks and
savage cruelty are advisable or nee
essary as means of preventing it.
The time has come when an issue
of the kind that was raised in Miami
can be settled in the open and the

THE INVISIBLE EMPIRE"

When a shrewd man in Atlanta de-
vised the organization which, during
reconstruction days in the south, was
recognized, to some degree, as a ne
cessity, this paper was one of the
first to characterize it as menace
to good government. Our preconcep-
ton has materialized into fact. No
good can come from the organiza-
ton such as that now termed the
"Kuklux Klan," no matter what the
purposes of the organization are or
ON what idealistic lines it may be
conducted.
The fact that the organization is
secret, that the names of none Of
its officers or its members are made
public and that it has adopted re-
salia which conceals the identity of
the wcarer damns it as atfording op-
portunity for concealing identity Of
law breakers and whoever of Wis
cious mind might elect to hide a
crime behind the white robe and
cowl. This organization may not be
responsible, through it's members, for
any of the outrages which have been
perpetrated in Florida in the last
few months by masked men, but it
certainly has left the way open to
suspicion.
Free speech is a thing of relative
Interpretation in this and other coun-
tries and if it be true that in Miami
a white clergyman preached the doc
rrine of race equality and race inter.
marriage to a congregation of ne.
groes, it is a waste of time to in
! daIge in calculations of surprise ant
horror at the violent treatment visit
ed upon him.
Prejudices of people have to b
reckoned with and sometimes preju
dices are very valuable. No ont
wishes that variety of prejudice tina
forces white and black races so
cially apart and prevents amalgama
ton to disappear.
The mystery of the story iron
Miami is that the men who took il
hand the regulation of the Reveren
Mr.. Irwin wore masks and assaile
him in a secret and cowardly man

against him were true, there was n

GRAND THEATRE TODAY

"The Miracle of Manhattan"
Elaine Hammerstein's latest SELF
nick picture which comes to the Grand
Theatre today, is said to differ in
every respect from proceeding pro-
auctions in which this popular star
has appeared.
The story, by Bradley King, deals
with a young society bud who is
under the impression that it is a
simple matter for any young woman
to make her way in the world, alone
and unassistcd. An opportunity arts
es in which she is able to put her
theory to the test and she makes an
attempt to earn her own living. She
finds the problem not as simple as it
had seemed and is about to give up
in despair when she finally secured
work as a cabaret singer. Here sha
is thrown in direct contrast with
types of people she never even knew

sugar embargoes, which until now
have been in force since the begin

HELP THE MERCHANT
READJUST PRICES

Palatka merchants, in common
with those of other cities, are put
ting on special sales to clear their
stocks of goods accumulated before
the readjustment of prices began.
They find this necessary to place
their business on a sound basis. 1t
is, in a way, a purging act, and in
most cases is carried out at loss
to the dealer. 1t is, however, obi
viously, a necessity, and the buying
public, which has shut down on the
generous expenditures that prevailed
few months ago, should patronize
these sales and by taking advantage
of the special price offerings assist
in restoring each business to normal
conditions.
But not only does the buying pub
| lie stand duty bound to patronize
such sales, but it is duty of the
merchant, as well, to readjust his
stock to conform with falling prices,
else he may find himself in serious
embarrassment in his efforts to COM
pete with the merchant who is able
to offer new stock at the new prices
