Martain Still Busy
With 1912 Fair
Hon, D. L. Martin is without a
doubt the busiest man in seven
states, making preparations for
the 1912 Ben Hill County Fair,
With . several buildings to be
erected, a race track to be graded,l
and various other matters to be
looked after, and only one man t,ol
do the work, needless to say prac
tically all of his time is taken up.
The preliminaries attendant upon
an enterprise of this kind are in-!
deed no small item, and that they
have been so skillfully handled is
a feather in the cap of the Presi
dent of the Fair Association, wko
besides looking after his large
farming Jnterests, is also in the
race for Representative from Ben
Hill County. Mr, Martin’s abili
ty to cope with large problems
and be complete master of the sit
uation was demonstrated by the
isuccess of our first county fair last
year. He was only encouraged
by the success of this venture and
has started out to make the 1912
Fair one of the most expansive
events ever held in Wiregrass
Georgia.
The present rough appearance
of the fair grounds will soon van
-Ish, and the surroundings will be
changed just as fast as'men and
' material can do the work.
Old Maids Defended
By Miss Helen Gould
Grand Junction, Colo., July 27.
—When the Rev. Elmer V. Huff
ner, just resigned as pastor of
the First Christian Church, de
livered a sermon recently advo
cating the exile of old maids to a
barren island as waste humanity,
he anticipated local resentment,
possibly, but hardly expected to
find himself at issue with Miss
Helen Gould, of New York.
In a letter just received here,
Miss Gould declarcd that many
preachers would be without work
and without wives and homes
were it not for old maids.
Can’t Sell Whisky
, With Name of Lee
Montgomery. Ala., July 27.
No whisky will be .sold in Ala
bama bearing the name of Robert
E. Lee on its label as long as
Capt. R. F. Kolb is commissioner
of agriculture, according to a
statement made this morning by
that official, to Sig J. Lang, of St.
Louis, manufacture of the liquor.
Captain Kolb informed the St,
Louis whisky man in strong terms
that he would not rescind the ac
tion he recently ‘took in placing
a ban on the sale of ‘‘Robert E.
Lee’’ whisky in this state.
Lang intimated that he would
resort to legal measures to com
pel the department to permit the
sale of his brand of liquor, but
the commissioner informed him
that he could ‘go as far he liked.’

Pills with the very best of results
and cheerfully endorse them for
the benefit of other kidney suffer
ers. For over a year I had kid
ney complaint- My back became
lame, stiff and sore and there were
piercing pains through my kid
neys. My limbs were weak and
in the morning I was hardly able
to straighten, The secretions from
my kidoeys also caused me added
ainoyance, Doan’s Kidney Pills
did me a world of good, ridding
me of my pains and improving
my condition in evevy way. In
my opinion, this remedy has no
equal for the cure of kidney com
plaint.”
