That the Dyer bill has gone and died.

my kidneys. Tho kidney secretions

id passage. I had terrible pains In
the small of my back and there was a
dull heavy ache across my kidneys
which made mo so weak I couldn't lift
anything. Friends highly recommen
ded Doan’s Kidney Pills to me and I
got a box at the Fulmer Drug Co. and
naed them. After taking two boxes
I was free from tho irregular action

Doan’s keeps my kidneys in a fine

The boll weevil Is making it mighty
hard for anybody who hopes to "get
by” with working only six months In
a year.
Lots of people are moving now
from place to place who might far
better stay where they are and try
to improve their methods of farming.
Old methods of raising cotton won't
work wherever the boll weevil exists,
and ho is now all over the cotton belt.
Prince Andrew, a brother of ex-
King Constantine of Greece, fared

In battle against the Turks. He was

banished for life.

The extra session of Congress, call-
od by President Harding, ended Sat
urday by limitation, regular session
beginning Monday. It was called to
pass the President’s ship subsidy bill,
which was adopted by the House with
amendments, but which is likely to
have a hard time getting through the
Senate. Senator Wm. J. Harris in
lists that if the ship owners are to
receive a subsidy, the farmers who
have to use calcium arsenate to raise
cotton shall bo subsidized also. If it
be true, as the President urges, that
our flag cannot be kept on the seas
without the Government giving mil
lions to the ship-owners, the fact
should certainly be recognized that
there will be nothing for our ships to
carry unless farming ia placed on a
safe and profitable basis.

Not Militaristic.
Clemenceau, the Tiger of France, is
receiving a warm welcome in this
country, though his effort to get tho
United States to take an immediate
active interest in European affairs !b
doubtless doomed to disappointment.
He ia getting some things “out of his
system,” however, and it is well for
us to hear what he says.
France ia not militaristic nor im
perialistic, says Clemenceau. She has
been repeatedly invaded by Germany,
and is simply trying to guard against
further trouble on that line. Germ
any has gone into voluntary bank
ruptcy to avoid payment of repara
tions to France, and it is vital to
France that this debt be collected.
France will pay what she owes to the
United States, but cannot pay at pres
ent—and everyone who has studied
the situation at all knows that he is
telling the truth about France’s im
poverished condition. He calls atten.
tion to the fact, although we have w
present need to worry about invas
ion, our military expenditure last year
was about three times that of France,
and yet we would not like to be re
garded as militaristic. When the
Peace Conference ended, it was with
the distinct understanding that the U-
nited States and Great Britain would
help France in case she were again
attacked by Germany, and that pact
would havo guaranteed her against
invasion, for Germany would not have
startfci) the World War If she could
have foreseen American intervention-.
The Senate declined to ratify the
treaty, so Frafice cannot afford to do
anything else than try to take care of
herself.
We have not noticed any mention
of Hugo Stlnnes’ plan by Clemenceau,
but to us this has the strongest ray of
hope of anything that has been pre
sented. Ho is a great German finan
cier and manufacturer,and his idea is
that the business interests of Germ
any and France should become ami
cably associated, and that Germany
be allowed to build up the devastated
regions with material and labor in
stead of paying money at present.
German monarchists, however, have
acquired a recent habit of assassinat
ing any civilian leader of prominence
who proposes anything sensible in the
way of settlement, desiring to over
throw the present government and
re establish a monarchy, and no one
can foresee what is going to happen in
that unhappy country. Certainly no
ono can blame Franco for insisting on
safeguarding herself and in demand
ing that Germany make reparations
ns far as mere money can do it—
for the horrible damage Bho has
wrought.
Frnnce has been criticized for not
backing England in trying to prevent
the return of tho terrible Turk to
Europe, but this would probably havo
meant war and France has had more
than she wants of that. Just as the
United States would havo played in
to Germany’s hands by going to war
with Mexico when she had her repre
sentatives there to egg it on, so
France would havo done exactly what
the Germans wanted if she had gone
to war with Turkey.
France ia maintaining her big army
for her own defene and preservation,
and Clemenceau is doing good service
to his country in bVinging that fact
to the attention of tho American peo
ple.
A Sure Way.
“It is to be hoped that every person
who can do ao will exchange War
Savings Stamps, soon to fall due, for
Treasury savings certificates,” says
Postmaster Annie K. Bunn. “The
large amount of money invested and
the great number of persona who pur
chased war savings stamps showed
that the people of this country could
save money when the necessity arose.
Now, if they will take the money they
saved when they bought itamps to
aid the government in the prosecution
of the war and buy Treasury savings
certificates, they will demonstrate
that the thrift lessons of tho war have
not been without effect. The holders
of war savings stamps have seen in
vestments of about 020.60 grow to
$25 in five years, and larger amounts
in the same proportion. They can see
the same thing repeated if they re-in
vest in Treasury savings certilcates.
Interest accumulates at the rate of 4
per cent each year, compounded semi
annually. These savings certificates
are exempt from tho normal Federal
income tax, and from all State and
local taxation (except estate and in
heritance taxes,) and may be held to
tho amount of $5,000, maturity value,
for each issue by every member of a
family. They are backed by the
credit of the United States Govern
ment, and afford an easy and sure
method of saving.”
Congress is now going to probe At
torney General pr.ugb.erty— and
there is apparently plenty of material
to work on there.

FISHER’S 5, 10 *» 25c STORE,
INVITES YOU TO THE OPENING?" OF TOYLAND.
At the Christmas Store of Cedartown.
Have you ever tried to image Christmas without toys? It
would be like taking the plums from the pudding. Wouldn’t
it? What would Santa Claus do then, poor thing. What would
the children do? No! It’s too terrible a thing to image.
Christmas would not be Christmas without toys. They are
the most important item of the most important holiday of the
year. And the glad shouts of the children always makes up
for the monotony of the other 364 days.
If you want toys that instruct or amuse with good quality
and reasonable prices, come to ourToyland.
All the children of the town will be
there. Can’t your little folks come too?

Dyer Bill Dies.
The Dyer anti-lynching bill, which
the Republicans passed in the House
before the election in order to pander
to a certain class of the negro vote,
has died in the Senate—thanks to our
effective Democratic fillibuster.
The opponents of the Dyer meas
ure are strongly opposed to lynching,
but believe the Dyer bill would tend
to mukc matters worso instead of
hotter. While it might have caused
the Illinois county in which theHerrin
massacre occurred to pay $10,000 to
the families of its victims, yet the bill
was frankly aimed at the South, and
as such was duly resented.
Rapists, regardless of color, are en
titled to no more clemency than a rat
tlesnake or a mad dog, but mob law
is so injurious to any community that
it cannot afford to give way to the
vengeance of savagery, however
strong the temptation. Most lynch-
ings are the work of Irresponsible
parties, the great majority of the peo
ple preferring that the law should
take its course, and to penalize law
abiding taxpayers for the rash acts of
hot-heads is a poor way of getting at
the matter.
Senator Underwood of Alabama,
who is about to retire from the Dem
ocratic leadership in the Senate be
cause of ill health, led a brilliant
fight against the iniquitous measure,
and had the backing of every South
ern Senator.
The Dyer bill, beaten by fillibuster
in the extra session of the Senate,will
not come before the regular session.
Let us hope it is forever dead.
Russia is demanding that Turkey
control the Dardanelles, instead of
having them free for all, as the Allies
insist should be done. In other words,
Turkey would have the name of hold
ing her ancient possessions, but Rus
sia would be the controlling influence.
The British Parliament has voted
to place Ireland on the same status as
Canada and Australia. And if it were
not for die-hards like DeValera.nearly
all patriotic Irishmen would be hap
py over this peaceful ending of a
struggle lasting through centuries.
