BAD WEATHER FOLLOWS
GROUND HOG S SHADOW
f|*HE ground hog has certainly
1 made good in bringing us
rain and bad weather for the
past four Sundays and if there
is anything in the story that
six weeks’ bad weather follows
his vision of the sun Feb. 2nd,
then we have two more weeks
to suffer.
More rain fell last Sunday
and Sunday night than any
previous Sunday this year, near-
ly an inch of rain falling dur-
ing the evening and at Dallas
and other parts in the State
considerable snow was reported.
Gardens and oats are up to a
good stand and will be helped
by the rains if not damaged by
a freeze. Buds are swelling on
fruit trees and some are bloom-
ing and a freeze at this time
would do serious injury to the
fruit crop.
Cotton growers of Delta
County have a great opportuni-
ty to cash in this fall on Hur-
ley’s Rowden cotton seed. This
favorite cotton is used almost
exclusively in many communi-
ties in this county and where
this is the case if the fields are
properly rogued this summer
the seed may be all sold to the
co-operatives at a much higher
price than they will bring at the
mill. This, of course, may be
done with any other good cot-
ton where a community stand-
ardizes, but there is insufficient
seed of other varieties for en-
tire communities this year.

MARTYRS
IT was once my privilege to
Iwifhess the establishment oi
a new religion.
The founder was John Alex-
ander Dowie, who first appear-
ed in the Chicago newspapers
as an obscure exhorter with a
talent for strong language.
Though he went through the
city and suburbs holding meet-
ings, he attracted comparatively
little attention until one night
a hoodlum hit him in the eye
with a rotten egg.
At once he assumed a new
character and importance. In-
stead of being merely a sensa-
tional denouncer he became an
incipient martyr—a prophet
persecuted for his faith. Con-
verts flocked to his banner,
money poured in, he founded his
own city, and finally proclaimed
himself the reincarnation oi
Elijah.
He had undoubted talent, but
it was the stupidity of his op-
ponents which persecuted him
into success.
The firey old doctor, with his
picturesque white whiskers,
has long since passed across the
river, but I think about him
whenever the newspapers begin
to talk about the danger of
“Red Riots’’ and the police
break up a harmless mass meet-
ing with their clubs.
England, older and wiser
than we in many respects, man-
ages these things much better.
She knows that an agitator is
harmless unless you try to
suppress him. Only then does
he become a menace. She sets
aside one end of Hyde Park for
the exclusive use of the agita-
tors. There, every afternoon,
and especially on Sundays, they
meet and shoot off their faces
aganist the government, the
church and whatever else they
dislike.
One of the wisest things
President Hoover has done was
to release the foolish young
men and women who were ar-
rested for picketing the White
House. He said that he did not
propose to let any silly folks
achieve “cheap martyrdom” at
the government’s expense.
A wise man of an earlier day
was a Pharisee named Gama-
liel. When the first persecu-
tion of the Christians began h*
protested.
“Refrain from these men
and let them alone, for if
this counsel or this work
be of men, it will come to
naught. But if it be of
God, ye cannot overthrow
it, lest haply ye be found
even to fight against God.”
If the Pharisees had taken
his advice the new and strug-
gling little sect might conceiv-
ably have passed out. in obscur-
ity. But they went on with
their persecutions and “the
blood of the martyrs became
the seed of the church.”

Mr. and Mrs. Alex Hooten a?vd Miss
Era Harris of Tira, Hopkins County,
were Cooper visitors Saturday.
IT has been said that it’s a
I bad practice to swap horses in
the middle of the stream. I ;
think this applies quite as well I
to the abrupt changing of phy-!
sicians in the middle of a pro-
tracted disease.
In the very nature of* some
Complaints, they advance very
slowly, taking sometimes month
or years to produce complete
disability. Diseases that come
slowly are, as a rule, overcome
slowly. A disorder that has
been on hand two or three years
cannot be cleaned up in as many
weeks. Particularly is this
true in diseases of the heart,
lungs, and kidneys. To shift
physicians impatiently every
two weeks, in the effort to se-
cure quick relief, is to invite
disaster; it takes in some cases
of very serious disease, several
months of intimate relation and
study on the part of the phy-
sician, to tide the patient ashore
safely. This cannot be done by
shifting tactics on part of the
individual. It is his business to
start right and stay right; his
life may depend upon it.
Years ago, a wealthy man
offered me $1000 to clear up
one-fourth of one per cent of
albumin from his urine. I ac-
cepted his bantering proposi-
tion. “What shall I do first,” he
asked; “go to bed for four
weeks,” I answered. “Can’t pos-
sibly do it; you see, I’ve got
some business—” Of course he
had. All men have affairs.
He went to a “magnetic
healer,” who cured by laying
on of the hands; $250 wasted.
Another shift to a “pathy”; no
better luck; then, to a “prac-
tic”; by this time dropsy was
coming. A month with a mas-
seur who agreed to “rub it out”
It didn’t rub out. The last I
heard of the case, he had gone
to bed and called his family
doctor; too late—the kidneys
wore far beyond possible relief.
Swapping horses in mid-stream.
That man should be alive today.
But he was too busy to “stay
put.” He has been dead a long
time.
If you suspect serious disease
stick to your physician—don’t
neglect his advice—he’s your
best bet.

i When I was a child, if I did
w not feel well, or if I had a cold,
mr my mother gave me Black-
▼ Draught,” Bays Mrs. Orpha
J Hill, of Wofford. Ky. "When I
■ was married, it became a fami-
w ly medicine in my own home,
3’ as it was in my mother’s.
X "I take it for headache and
^ especially for constipation.
When I get bilious, my skin
gets yellow and I have a very
bad taste in my mouth, and a
ming.’
Draught, it seems to drive the
impurities out of my system
and I feel fine. I am seldom
without this reliable remedy."
