(From Tuesday's Daily.)
TVo -unity commissioners discuss
ed ' tr, ,ttx rate at their meeting yes-
teniiy. tut up definite action was
taken. Tim commlsloners will meet

There is n probability that the

r. p a.1 II was last year, which
rrojid make the county rate ten
cen t on tho $100 higher than last
year, the state having reduced its
rate that much. The state and coun
ty rate last year was $1 on the $100,
or flic for the state and 51 for the
co inly. The state rate this year
has turn reduced to 18c, which, at
ft ;er $100 for state and county,
no iM give the county 52c.
V! h on increaso of about n quarter
of u ni'lllon dollars In tax values,
(Ms ivould give a much larger revenue
than the commissioners had this year.
The county has had to borrow this
ynr $2,800, but will be able to get
along without Increasing that amount.
Chairman McKey had hoped to he
ahTe to run the county this year on
9"- cento on the $109 for state and
ch'itty. but Ihe Rawlings trial and
he expenses that have followed, to
gether with the trial of th* pickpock
ets, have ran the amount of expen
ses about $10,000 higher than was
expected for the year.
With all of that increased expense,
ho believes that by rigid economy
the county could get along fairly well
with a tax rate next year of 42c on
the $100, though he would not favor
making suoh a cut In view of the
fact that a jew board Isto take charge
In January.' (He does

THE HEW DEPOT8.
Plans for the Union Depot May Now
be Abandoned for all Time.
(From Tuesday's Daily.)
It is understood that Vice Presi
dent and General Manager Parrott
and General Superintendent Grady
win return to Yaldoot* - tomorrow
tor tho purpose of closing up their
arrangements with the city council
tor th* constrnetlon of the new pas
senger depot here. >
The council will have

The klek front the citlxens H
the proposition to locate It so far
trom the huslneaa portion o! the
city. Nearly everybody favored a
union station, though they 'preferred
two separate stations to one located
[out of tbs city's center.
Mayor Roberta was Inclined to the
belief that the Atlantlo CoaatH
would bo willing to establish
station whero tho present ;
located, as It has plenty o
there and the Georgia Southern
trains could enter It as easily as
they reach their present depot,
plan of this kind, we believe, would
please everybody In Valdosta. It
would necessitate the moving of the
Coast Line's freight depot, but that
could be easily provided for. Trains
on the Georgia Southern for Jack
sonville could use a spur track from
the Coaat Line to the Georgia South
ern tracks at the east end of thdl
Coast Line’s yards.
If this scheme could be worked If
would be best tor Valdosta and It]
would also be best for the roads
depot could be erected on that
site that would laat Valdosta
many years to coma.
Something About the Weather.
There are many folka who will

day of the year and many other*
who will declare that yesterday or
today were hotter than Sunday, The
last real hot day la usually the hotteat

hot as Sunday, and Sunday laoked
six degrees of being the hottest day

RHEUM A TiSM
ALMOST AS COMMON IN SUMMER AS IN WINTER.*'
—- -x
While the damp, cold, changing weather of
Winter intensifies the pains and other disagreeable
symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means a
winter disease exclusively. Through the long
months of Summer its wandering pains and twitch-
jag nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric
acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated.
Rheumatism is a disease that involves the en
tire system. Its primary cause results from die
failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid-
Seys and Bowels, to cany out of the system the
urea, or natural .refuse matter. This coming in
contact with the different acids of the body forms
jhric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the
blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood,
making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing
the body, and as this vital stream goes to every
nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrib
uted to all parts. The nervous system weakens
from lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes fe
verish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are
affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased
condition of the entire system is the result.
Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of
all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbbing
muscles and stinging nerves, but it is a formidable
and dangerous trouble. If the uric acid is allowed .
to remain in the blood, and the disease becomes chronic, chalky deposits form at the joints,
and they are rendered immovable and stiff, and the patient left a helpless cripple for life.
Every day the poison remains in the system the disease gets a firmer hold. The best time
to get rid of Rheumatism is in warm weather; because then the blood takes on new life and
the skin is more active and can better assist in the elimination of the poisons. With the
proper remedy to force the acid out of the blood, and at the same time build up and
strengten the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and other organs of the body, Rheumatism can be per
manently cured. External applications relieve the pain tmd temporarily reduce the inflam
mation, and for this reason are desirable, but they cannot have any effect on the dices <a»,
The blood is poisoned and the blood must-be treated before a core «n be effected.
S. S. S-, a remedy made from roots, herbs and barks, is the best treatment for Rheuma
tism. It goes into the blood and attacks the disease at its head, and by neutralizing the acid
and driving it out, and building up the sour blood so it can supply nourishment ana strength
to every part of the body, it cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. is the only safe cure,
for the disease; being purely vegetable, it wUl not Injure the system in the least, as do-
those medicines which contain Potash or some other- mineral ingredient. S. S. S. tones up
eveiy part of the body by its fine tonic properties.
While cleansing the blood of all poisons it builds up the
appetite and digestion, soothes the excited nerves, re
duces all inflammation, relieves pain and completely
cures Rheumatism in every form—Muscular, Inflamma
tory, Articular or Sciatic. If you are worried with the
_ __ nagging pains of Rheumatism, do not wait for it to be-
• ' come chronic, but begin the use of S. S. S. and purge
the blood of eyery particle of the poison— Write for ottr book on Rheumatism, and ask ctur.

Last Summer I had a sever* attack of Inflamma

One day while reading a paper I saw an adver
