AFTER DISASTROUS FLOOD
Inundation, Which Drove 10000 Per-
sons From Home, Caused Big Loss.

Planters who were driven from their
farms and early crops in the disastrous
Mississippi river food near New Or
leans in the spring are attempting to
harvest what is left OF the smaller
field crops and preparing the soil for
winter products.
The flood waters, which drove 49,
900 persons from their homes, spread
over IS parishes and caused proper
ty loss estimated at $1O,000,0OO. The
levee system, seriously damaged by
the unprecedented high water, now is
being patched at cost of several mil
lioin dollars. Contracts for repairing
GAS miles of levees in Louisiana have
been let.
The floods greatest toll was the
destruction of thousands of acres OF
crops in the 1900 square miles OF land
inundated. Farm buildings, imple-
ments, roads and bridges were de-
stroyed. The Red Cross, state treas

ASHBURN WILL
( ENTERTAIN EDITORS
BOYS AND GIRLS" OF THIRD
DISTRICT PRESS WILL BE
GIVEN ROYAL WELCOME.

Hon. Joe Lawrence, editor OF the
Ashburn Wiregrass Farmer, and the
citizens OF the progressive town of
Ashburn and surrounding section are
planning to kill the fatted calf for
the Third District Press Association,
which is scheduled to hold its quar-
terly session at Ashburn on Friday,
October 9th.
Ashburn has entertained many dele
cations from the southeastern states
and feasted visitors from practically
every section of the United States in
recent years. Keen interest was shown
in the big development work the wire
grass section has undertaken along
diversified farming lines. Now that
the editors, who point with pride to
the Cream City of Georgia" will
soon be on their way to the town
there's scurrying among the house
wives and people generally to put

"Others have come to Ashburn and
have partaken of our hospitality, but
our arms will be little wider, our
hearts little warmer and our well
come little gladder to the boys and
girls that push the quill" says Joe
Lawrence, editor extraordinary and
the prince of good fellows among the
newspaper fraternity. The boys and
gir1s-we may call them that-are
children after our own heart, their
spirits flow in harmony with ours and
they will be as welcome as the flow
ers in May" Mr.. Lawrence says milk
fed chickens will be on the menu.

NORTHWEST GEORGIA IS CEN
TER OF NEGRO POPULATION
Census Report Shows 1t Has Moved
Northwest First Time in History.

The department of commerce at
Washington has just announced that
the center of negro population, as de-
termined by the census bureau, basis
of fourteenth census enumeration, is
located in the extreme northwestern
corner of Georgia, in Dade county,
about one and three-quarter miles
northeast of the town of Rising Fawn,
in latitude "a degrees, 40 minutes, 81
seconds, and longitude IS degrees, 80
minutes and 4S seconds.
For the first time in history this
center has moved northwest. The Tor
mer movements have all been in a
southwesterly direction.
In 1870 the center of negro .popu-
lation was near Petersburg, Va. In
1890 it was in Walker county, Geor-
gia, and in 1910 in DeKalb county,
Alabama.
1t happens that there are very few
negroes residing in Dade county.

WHAT TO DO

This is often caused by fermenta-
tion, constipation, decomposition Of
over supply Of protein foods and ab-
sorption of the resulting poisons into
the blood.
Chew all foods thoroughly as the
saliva is needed to be we'll mixed with
it. Reduce amount of proteins in diet.
East less meat, eggs, oatmeal, Choose
other cereals), sweets, rich fats, fried
foods and pastries. Eat fruits, vege-
tables and whole grain cereals.
Use bran baths to cleanse, or oil.
Hard water is irritating. Keep affect
ed parts dry, clean, and protected
from winds. Anoint with benzion-
ated lard or Zinc Oxide ointment. Car
bolic acid may be used to sterilize
bath water.
To cleanse the blood, sulphur and
sugar, and occasionally dose of salts
may be used. A little soda in the drink
ing water helps to neutralize the
over fermentation.
Never apply to skin creams which
contain bay rum, alcohol, ammonia or
borax, as these are drying. Never use
strong alkaline soaps on an eczema

REVIEWS BY LIBRARIAN. PUBLIC
LIBRARY.

FAIR TO MIDDLING," Nalbro
Bartley's new novel relates the his
tory Of two young couples, one COM
posed of a pair Of extremists, the 9TH
er representative of the people who
are fair to middling.' When Nine.
Reid's only son Martin married the
pretty stenographer, Fanny Doyle,
who had "a profusion of taste and
all of it quite bad,' that august lady
was very much displeased. The en-
|gagement of her orphan neice Dave to
Amos Larkin was undesirable enough
but not so distressing. Dare is the
heroine of the book, and her strug-
giles to make her husband into de-
cent person and a success proves the
main thread of the plot.
"ALICE ADAMS, by Booth Tark-
ington.
If the reader of Alice Adams is. a
woman, she lays down the book with
two thoughts occupying her mind;
first, that it is not fair for any man
to comprehend the workings of a
girls mind so clearly, and second, that
here life of pitiful tragedy is avert
ed at the last only by girls pluck
and. willingness to face reality. The
pretty beau-attended Alice Of high
school days finds herself gradually
dropped by the girls in town, who, on,
their return from college, come out
with all the frills and furbelows
fathers money can supply. The
crisis in her social affairs is reached
at party for which she had success
fully angled to secure an invitation
for herself and her obnoxious BROTH
er. Maddened by the thought that
the girl will not have her "chance"
with the most eligible young men
Mrs. Adams finally succeeds in driv.
ing her husband into resigning his
position as clerk with J. A. Lamb
whom he had lovingly served for
forty years to go into business for
himself, which proves a failure. The
dinner which his wife insists on CIV
ing to the possible son-in-law turns
out dismal failure, and the climax is
reached when the son, also employed
at the Lamb factory, defaults with
three hundred dollars.
Alice cannot stand proof against
the slurs cast upon her father. So
we find her at last with shoulders
back, gravely walking up the steps OF
Franke's Business College, and it is
goodly sight for she is done with
shallow pretense and comes bravely
to grip with reality.
