Tells How to End
Night Coughing

To quickly stop hacking, irritat-
ing coughing at night, a very SIM
pie treatment may be had that
often enables you to sleep the whole
night through undisturbed almost
at once.
The treatment is based on a re-
markable prescription known as
DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Coughs. You simply take a tea
spoonful at night before retiring,
and hold it in your throat for Is
or 20 seconds before swallowing it.,
without following with water. The
prescription has a double action.
1t not only soothes and relieves lr-
ritation and soreness, but it quick
" Ioosens and removes the phlegm
and congestion which are the direct
cause of the coughing. So no mat
ter whether your cough is dry and
tight. or loose with much mucus,
the coughing soon stops, you can
usually sleep your accustomed time
without a break, and the whole
cough condition goes in very short
time.
The prescription contains absolutely
mo narcotics or other harmful drugs.
instead of merely. benumblng the
nerves, it actually helps the system eIll
to throw off the trouble in a perfectly
natural way. Furthermore. it IS very
Economical, the dose being only one
teaspoonful. It. is highly, recon-
mended for coughs, chest coids, 1lGH s,
ling. hoarseness and bronchltis; and IS
wonderful for children's coughs and
snasmodic Group. On sale at all good
druggists. Ask for

Time TO QUIT
TRADING DOLLARS
HASTINGS DECLARES THAT PRES
EMIT SOUTHERN FARM SYSTEM
GETS US NOWHERE

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special)-'1t's time
for every Southern farmer who cl1ngs
to the all, or nearly all, cotton idea TO
do a lot of straight thinking before
he pitches his 1925 crop. Most or our
cotton farmers are trading dollars
and losing at that three years out OF
four" said H. G. Hastings, leading
AGRICULTURAL authority and Chairman
of the Farm and Marketing Bureau OF
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.
"For the past two years Providence
has stepped in and saved us from the
results of our own folly. In 1925 we
planted thirty nine million acres Oh
cotton; in 1924 forty million acres
In each of these years there was acre
age enough to have made, with even
fair season conditions, sixteen to eigh-
teen million bales and ten-cent price
or less with the inevitable farm smash
that such price would bring" Provf
dence cannot be depended on 1ndefl'
nitelv to bring unfavorable seasons
and cut down yield per acre. we
stepped up a couple of million bales
in 1924, and, by so doing, the South
has lost about three hundred million
dollars that have come right out Oh
the farm pocket.
I'm spite of these danger signals
flying in every cotton state, plans
are being made everywhere to In
crease cotton acreage in 1925. This
can only be done at the expense
of cutting down food and grain acres
at a time when food and grain IS hlgn
and going higher every week.
ST am no alarmist, but the present
tendency, the intent to plant the whole
face of the earth in cotton this spring
that is so evident gives me grave con-
Germ. If the boil weevil or drought
don't cut the 1925 crop, starvation low
prices will get the cotton grower. me
situation looks just as hazardous TO me
as in 1920, unless the craze Tor III
creased cotton acreage can be headed
off somehow.
Growing cotton and buying bread
meat and grain is simply trading dol
lars. or worse. 1t never is pro1ltaple'
Most years it's losing game. There
is only one way to safeguard 1920
Plan for and plant enough food, gram
and forage acres to insure your family

day in Month. Was First
At the January meeting of the Board
of County Commissioners, the follow
inc resolution was adopted:
Whereas it is deemed advisable and
expcdient by this body to change the

fact that often parties having business
with this board also at the same time
need to attend public sales and tor
other reasons,
Be it resolved by the Commissioners
of Ben Hill County that the date OF
monthly meetings be changed from the
First Tuesday in each month to the
second Tuesday in each month at ten
o'clock a. M, the next regular meeting
after the adoption of this resolution
to be the second Tuesday in February
And further that this resolution be
recorded in the minutes of this board
and the same published as required
by law.

EARLY APPLES MONEY MAKER
Growers Who Had Their Fruit In
spected Received Fine Prices

Determined to make the most of
their efforts from a fruit producing
line, Delaware fruit packing and ship
ping houses in Kent county are utilz-
ing expert fruit packers from the
State of Georgia to make their hamp-
ers of early apples more attractive.
Last week was the bumper week for
early apples and it was the busiest
early apple week the state has ever
experienced. More than 900 carloads
of early apples have gone forward by
railroad to say nothing of the amount
shipped by motor truck. Last year
the entire shipment by railroad totall-
ed but $50 carloads and the growers
considered they had a good season
This year, however, it is anticipated
that the crop will yield at least 1000
perhaps LOO carloads. These Georgia
fruit packing experts made long hours
at steady continuous work last week
This week the early apple season is
rapidly drawing to a close. The pre-
vailing prices have ranged from $1.2!
to $3.50 per bushel, and these prices
are paying ones for the growers.

MILFORD LAD STRUCK BY AUTO
Curry KINNEY of Milford Hit by Auto
in Front of Home

Curry KINNEY, years old, son of
Hamilton KINNEY of Milford, was
seriously injured Thursday by being
run over by an automobile in front of
his home on North Walnut street. He
was taken to the Marshall Hospital
where it was found the boy was suf-
fering from a fracture of the hip, a
severe cash of the scalp and probably
internal injuries. The lads condition
is regarded serious.
Witnesses state that the boy was
playing near the new concrete road
and started to run across as the auto
mobile was swiftly approaching. The
brakes were applied and the wheels
ground in the road before striking
young KINNEY. 1t is said the car
struck the boy knocking him down
and one of the wheels passed over his
body near the hips.
The car striking the boy was driver
by Frank Van Pelt of Peoria, Ill. He
was accompanied by A. E. Mum o
Milford. Mr.. Mum stated that thu
accident was unavoidable and tina
they were riding at moderate rate
When the boy ran out in the road il
front of the car the brakes were ap
piled and the auto was run into tn
cemetery wall in an effort to avOi
hitting him, but it was impossible t
get out of his way.
Since the death of his wife, Hamil
ton KINNEY, father of the injure
boy, with his children has been resio
; ing at the home of his parents, NJ
and Mrs. Nehemiah KINNEY.
