STOMACH TROUBLES
Hr. Ragland Writes Interesting
Letter on This Subject
Madison Heights, Va.—Mr. Chas. A.
Ragland, of this place, writes: "I have

for indigestion, and other stomach troub
les, also colds, and find it to be the very

After taking Black-Draught for a few
lays, I always feel like a new man."
Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain
In pit of stomach, and a feeling of full
less after eating, are sure symptoms of
itomach trouble, and should be given the
proper treatment, as your strength and
leaith depend very largely upon your
lood and its digestion.
To get quick and permanent reliel 1
rom these ailments, you should take
t medicine of known curative merit.
Its 75 years of splendid success, in the
reatment of just such troubles, proves

ORGANIZE TO
REDUCE ACREAGE
Largest Land Owners of Au
vergne Section Co-operate to
Plant Small Grain and Re
duce Cotton Acreage.
In the progressive community
of uvergne, the largest land
owners have made a practical
staii. toward crop diversification
ana' reduction of cotton acreage
through an organized movement
that will make practicable their
plan. It is worthy of the at
tention of the farmers of other
communities, who would do well
to follow up this movement by
similar organizations in their
own sections. ni Ji
These Auvergne farmers and
landowners comprised such men
as John C. Henderson, M. B.
Hare, F. L. Bleakley, J. R. Dav
is, W. C. C. Wilson, S. Mm
Neldon, Wm. Neldon, J. G. Han
del and C. W. Handel.
They met Tuesday night, Sep
tember 23d, and organized by e
lecting Marvin Hare, president
and C. W. Handel secretary. The
situation was talked over and all
agreed that the cotton acreage
must be reduced and to get the
movement in tangible shape,
each man present pledged him
sell to plant instead 01 cotton,
the following number of acres
to turf oats and wheat:
M. B. Hare, 50 to 100 acres
W. C. C. Wilson, 30 to 50 acres.
J. R. Davis, 53 acres.
F. L. Bleakley, 40 acres.
Handel & Co., 50 to 75 acres.
S. M. Neldon, 10 acres.
Wm- Neldon, 5 acres.
The nearby farmers, not pres
ent at this meeting were to be
solicited and pledges to be se
cured from them of just what :
co-operation they were willing
to lend this movement to benefit
the whole South.
But they didn’t stop here.
Phey took hold of the problem j
that goes with the raising of
grain and raised the following
subscriptions for the purchase of
the necessary harvesting ma
chinery, such as binders and ,
threshers:
M. B. Hare, $100. ji
F. L. Bleakley, $100.
W. C. C. Wilson, $100.
J. R. Davis, $100.
Handel & Co., $100.
To show how much in earnest /
were these men in this great un- j,
Iertaking, it was further agreed |
:hat they meet regularly Wed- ;
lesday evenings and that each ;
me present bring another farm- !
ar witn mem
The value of this effort these
men are making for the prosper
ity of the South depends partly
upon what other communitie
ire going to do, whether they
ire going to face the problet
squarely and make this year j
;he turning point from the one ;
trop mania or suicide and better j
Jieir conditions by reducing cot
xm acreage and planting other i
trops.
We commend the example set 1
;o every community in this 1
:ounty and hope others—yes, all (
—will follow them.
Wheat Sowing Becomes General.
More wheat will be sown by
he farmers of this section than
or many years. Several have
ilready planted and others are
treparing their land for plant
ng. It is said that several hun
Ired acres of wheat will be plan
ed this year by farmers in the
immediate vicinity of Newark.
—Newark Journal.
This year the wheat crop in
laxter county was the largest
ver grown in that county, and
t is said that the crop next year
/ill be much larger. Nearly ev
ry farmer in the county is pre
aring to put in some wheat.

One of the greatest reasons why j
this fair Southland, the garden of ;
the Western hemisphere, is dependent
is the fact that cotton is, and ever
has been, King, and credit, the result
of its enormous production. Why j
does credit attach to the production
of cotton? Because it requires the
entire twelve months in the year to i
produce it for market. Hence the j
producer does not have any time that j
he can call his own with which to
grow something to live upon. Conse- j
quently he must buy his living from
the North and the East on a credit i
till such time as his crop of cotton is
ready for market. Then he must take j
his crop to market, and after asking
the merchant what he would take for J
the meat and bread he ate while mak
ing this crop, ask him what he will
give for the cotton on the debt, etc.
Thus the producer gets the “buzzard”
both ways. This state of affairs does
not only keep the producer depend-:
ent, but it keeps the merchant and j
the landlord dependent. They as j
well as the farmer are depending on
this same crop of cotton to pay their j
summer bills. Cotton, being the on- !
l.v product of the South, they all,
alike, are forced to keep their sup- j
plies in the Northern markets, paying |
some other man to ship them out in i
such quantities as he deems best. !
And again, it will not be disputed— I
tuc ouuui is uib largest consumer oi ,
its own produce—cotton—and in- j
stead of manufacturing it in the land !
where it is grown, we ship it to j
England, the King of the Cotton |
market,the one place looked to by our ;
buyers from those who buy a hun- ■
dred bales, to those who buy tens of
thousands, for each morning quota
tion’s before they make a bid, paying
the freight, paying interest on the
money advanced to us by the buyer,
besides paying a commission to two
or three others before it reaches the
factory. Then we pay for the man
ufacturing and have it shipped back
at an enormous expense for freight,
commissions, storage, labor etc. Thus , *
we are depending on foreign markets ,
for what they raise, that we may be i
able to eat, and on these same mar- j.
<ets for what we raise that we may ,1
ue able to wear. You see we are the ]
nost dependent people on the globe, j0
flan the South become independent? I
rhe answer is, yes. We have the j e
soil, we have the climate, and we have r
:he people—people with brain and j v
urawn, people with the grit to work. ■ ii
lYhat else do we need? Just a united n
iffort on the part of all the people, h
ind not on a part of them. It is evi- f
lent that cotton will not make us in- t,
lependent, it is evident that the pro
lucers cannot redeem us, working a
done and against such overwhelming t
>dds; neither can the landlorl or the ti
nerchant redeem us alone, but the ,1<
inited efforts of them all is required. |
Chey must come together, make con- 1;
:essions to each other, whereby one ii
•ommon benefit may be derived by all, c
f we would free ourselves from the t
dutches of Europe and the Eastern
speculator. The farmer is willing to a
produce a living for his whole South- n
and and if you will let him, he will
'aise meat for you and himself; he g
will raise bread for all, and various t
)ther necessities of life, besides a
uale or two of cotton with which to g
nake clothes if you will only give j
tim a chance. He doesn’t care for
loing the work, he don’t care for you s
•esting while he works—all he wants d
s to be allowed to work in such a b
vay as will profit you and him and v
cot force him to do the very thing d
hat has eve? kept him in abject
lavery and ignorance, and is impov
rishing you daily.
