IT WILL NAME
TWO SENATORS
West Virginia Legislature to
Elect Successors to Elkins and
Scott.
Charleston, W. V*, Jan. 11.—Tne
spirited contort among the Demo
cratic leadera of West Virginia for
the two seats in the United States
sonate promises fo make the I6gls-
lative session which began here to
day ono of the most Interesting
in many years. In addition to choos
ing a successor to Senator Nathan
B. Scott whose term will expire next
March, the legislature Is called upon
to choose another senator to till
the seat made meant by the recorit
death of Senator Stephen U. Kiklns.
The Interest is Increased by the
vast amount of uncertainty that at
tends tho results of fho contest. The
Democratic victory in November
was something of a surprise and tho
senatorial aspirants for Scott's scat
worn obliged to enter the raeo on
short notice, with little time to
perfect their organisation and plan
their campaigns. The death ot
Senator Kiklns one week before the
legislature convened, making tt ncc-
essary fo' elect two s'onators in
stead of one, added to the compli
cation of fho situation.
There are more than half a dozen
candidates for the togas and nenn»
nil of them are conducting cam
paigns. With the organization ot
the legislature 1t Is predicts- that
combination among tho candidates
are llkety to he effected and thnt
eventually the Held will narrow down
to threo or four entries.
The prominent candidates Include
Clarence W. Watson, a wealthy Knlr-
mont coal operator; Colonel John
T. McGrnw, fop mnny years llomo-
cartlc national commlttooman for
West Virginia; John J. Corhwell, an
editor of Romney; Colonel W. N.
Chilton of Charleston; Lawrence
Tierney, a cosAperaforiif Bluetleld,
and Andrew MuI-CouAl Weston.

contest
Clarenjjfc W, Watson and Colonel
Jehn T. ^foGrsw are generally re-
garded ns the leading candidates.
Watson Is believed to have scored
an advantage by being the first to
enter the race, while his wealth and
political ability are counted upon to
keep him well to tho front. Mctlraw
has had moro experience In politics
and enjoys a wtder acquaintance
among the rank and tile of the party
throughout the state. Those who
are urging his cnndlcncy for ono of
the senatorshlps point to his many
yeara' tn service to hts party as
national committeeman and argue
that he Is entitled to a scat In tile
senate ns his reward.
John J. Cornwell also Is regarded
as an Important factor tn tho con-
teat. lie la probably more pnpnlni
among the people at large than any
other candidates and If the matter
were submitted to s' primary vote
he undoubtedly would be a winner.
Andrew Rdmlston. another of tho
candldatea. tma been a prominent
party man for years. He was chair
man of tho State committee for
yesrs and Is highly regarded per
sonally. fuiwrenco E. Tierney, an
other of the active candidates, has
hardly as much prominence as Kd-
mtston, but may have more votes.

ACKNOWLEDGE IT.
Vnhlonta Ilns to Bow -to the Inevlt
nble—Scores of CiUxens Prove it.
After reading the public statement
ci' this representative citizen
of Vahlostn given below, you must
come to this conclusion: A remedy
which cured years ago, which has
kept the kidneys in good health
since, can he relied upon to perform
the same work In other cases. Bead
this:
T. J. Palin, two miles from Val
dosta, Ga. says:, “I used Doan’s Kid
ney Pills and was well satisfied with
the results. Some yty'fs ago I Injur
ed my back and t time on 1

The terrlblo pains Ifa ivy back alao
prevented me from sleeping well and
as the result my health became run
down. I used a number of remedies
but did not And relief until I procur
ed Doan’s Kidney Pills at A. E. Dim-
mock’s Drug store. They went at
onco to the seat of my trouble, soon
removing the pains and correcting
tho other difficulties thnt had exist
ed." (Statement made July 17
1903.)
Tlio Cure Proved Permanent.
On April 4, 1908 Mr. Palin wroto:
"The atatement I gave for publica
tion some years ago was correct In
every particular. I can still recom
mend Doan's Kidney Pills and yon

She Wanted to Invoke the Law.
A lady who recently came to
Valdosta 1, said to have gono to a
house which was occupied by. a
small family and asked If *he could
not rent a room there. When told
that there were no rooms for rent,
tho woman remarked: "1 think
there ought to be a law t 0 make
people rent rooms when they have
them to spare. I have been all over
this town trying to rent a room and
have met with failure everywhere.”
Of courso, there could not .he
a law to force people to rent room,
and this woman probably knew (t.
but she felt so deeply disappointed
at not ibclng able to rent a room
that she mado that ra«h statement.
It Is aatd that there ar e rooms in
some Valdosta houses that are
bringing from 818 to *20 apiece.
Thla emphasizes the fact tha, this
city must have more houses to rent,
or It will drift backward.
