Make Life Hard to Bear For Many Cedartown Women. Too many women mistake their pains and aches for troubles peculiar to tho sex. More often disordered kidneys are causing the aching back, dizzy spoils, headaches and irregular urination. Kidney weakness becomes dangerous if neglected. Use a time- tried kidney remedy —Doan’s Kidney PillB. Hosts of people testify to their merit. Read a Cedartown case: Mrs. W. J. Wood, Prior St., says: “My housework was a burden to me and it was on account of sharp dig ging pains that stabbed in the small of my back. Everytime I stooped it was torture for me to straighten a- gain. I was dizzy and black specks passed before my eyes. 1 became terribly nervous nnd everything irri tated me. My kidneys did not act right at all. It was just by using one box of Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I got at Bradford’s Drug Store, that I began to enjoy doing my housework, free from pains in my back and the irregular action of my kidneys." COc, at all dealers. Fostor-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo N. Y. Bad men cun nlwnys find a basis for agreement and huve no trouble getting together. And tho better some people think they arc, the more determined they are to have their own way. That is why evil so often triumphs. The State Supreme Court last week cleared the way for hundred per cent assessments against stockholders of insolvent hanks if necessary to pay depositors in full, when it declared constitutional tho law creating the State Banking Department. A small minority in Ireland has decidod to kill everyone that doesn't ngree with them ns to how their gov ernment shall be run. The other side is getting into the game now, howev er, and there arc so many more of them that DeValcra and his crazy crew had better change their tactics or lenve the country.

They came upon the ocean’s strand And looked ’round for an ark. The elephant had to stay on land; The bull-dog sailed his bark. President Harding wants “teeth” given to the Rail Board, or some body to take its place, that can make its de cisions effective. He has found that neither public sentiment or public in terest are given much consideration by parties to a heated controversy. Yet he would favor an international court to settle difficulties beween na tions that has no power but world sentiment to enforce its finding. And what would our own courts amount to but for the fact that they have offic ers with power to enforce their de crees? Banker Greene, of Fairburn, evi dently does not appreciate the light sentence he received for looting the institution of which lie was an officer, lie lavished his affections and the bank's money on a woman outside of his family, and got off with only a si years sentence. As ids family is prom inent, the jury that convicted him is endorsing his application for parole or pardon, which is now before the Governor and Prison Commission. If he is turned loose, it will be another incentive to crime for young men — and they really don’t need any more. Another Blunder. In the perfectly natural and ex pected attack made last week by Gov. Hardwick on Georgia’s temperance laws, he used an illustration which sounds stronger than it probably is in reality. The Governor said that in some Georgia county a negro’s house was searched for stolen goods. Nothing of the sort was found, but in the bed ding was found hidden a pint of liq uor, tho negro was sent to the chain- gang for twelve months, and when the Governor found it out he pardoned him. If this is all of the story, the court that imposed such a penalty for such an offenBe Is worthy of the severest censure, and tho Governor is to be commended. We cannot help but wonder, how ever, whether or not the Governor went into the ense as fully as he should. Bear in mind that it was in a search for stolen goods that this liquor was found. The Governor is a lawyer, and knows very well that the question of character enters —and should enter—into the imposing of every sentence. The truth is that a negro of even fairly good character has white friends enough to keep him out of the chaingang for any slight infraction of the law. Personally, we believe that the Judge who imposed this sentence acted with this view point in mind, and for the protection of the law-abiding people of his com munity. Unless the Governor thor oughly investigated this feature of the case, he made a mistake in turn ing another criminal loose before his time simply in order to bring our temperanco laws into disrepute. By the way, tho Governor had a lot to say about law enforcement in his recent campaigns. It is probable that no one in Atlanta knows better than he that the prohibition laws of the state are being constantly and flagrantly broken. Is he helping to enforce or break them? Coming to It. Article 12 of President Wilson’s famous "Fourteen Points” was as follows:— “Tht Dardanelles should be perm anently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations under International guarantees.” Last week at tho Lousanne Confer ence for consideration of perplexing Nonr East problems, Ambassador Child by direction of President Hard ing and Secretary of State Hughes not only uphold this policy but spec ifically promised American aid in guaranteeing the freedom of the straits. He deciased tha “no nation would ho rendier than the United States to uphold the good sense of maintaining a sufficient naval force to act as the police of the free seas; to protect its citizens nnd their ships wherever they might be; to suppress piracy and other menaces, nnd to act nt times for the public good and give relief to the suffering just ns tho ships of war have recently done in the Near East. Gradually it is dawning on some folks that policing to prevent war is far better thnn war. But in the meantime, Mr. Child is nt Lnusnnnc merely ns an "observer,” and while he can talk yet has no vote. Maybe Governor Hardwick will run for something or other on an anti prohibition platorm. That seems to be gettng popular in some sections of the country.—Rome Tribune. You have noticed, though, that in nearly every place they have tried it, they got badly left. Georgia Baptist Convention, in ses sion in Atlnnta last week, adopted by unanimous vote one of the most scathing denunciations of lynching on record, and called upon the good cit izenship of the country as represent- ted in the churches to sound its death knell. Whatever the pretext, said the Convention, lynching is mur der, barbarous, heathenish and diabo- licnl, a cancer on sociey, and a dis grace to civilization. Mobs it de nounced as a menace to government society and the church. Bre’r Shope, of the Dalton Citizen, nnd Bre’r McIntosh of the Herald, are having an interesting argument as to the location of God’s country.” We are glad to be able to throw- some light on the subject, and their nt ration is called to the fact that all the internal, external, contemporane ous nnd extraneous evidence shows that our Cedar Valley was the site of the Garden of Eden.

The poll tax of a woman who has reached the ape of twenty-one this year dates from 1922. Some women think they will never want to vote, and are not paying their poll tax this year. The law gives them this privilege. But— The time is coming when they will want to vote—when some kinsman will be running for office and will want their ballot very much indeed, —and then they will have to “dig up” a dollar for 1922 and for each succeeding year. No executions will be issued against women who decline to pay poll tax if they do not vote. If they vote, they have to pay, of course. Some women may think they are saving money by not paying poll tax and voting now, but the probability is strong that they will work a hard ship on themselves by letting the un paid tax receipts accumulate against them in the Tax Collector’s office. The time is coming when most of them will want to vote, and —take it from us—it is easier to pay a dollar a year than several dollars at one time. A Word to Women. The Southern Farmers’ Treasure Island. Approximately 790,000 crates of pineapples grown on the little Island of Cuba will find their way into the . markets of the United States. This is a lot of pineapples and involves an | outlay of from three to four million good hard American dollars. Three hundreds of thousands of crates of pineapples are loaded into cars at shipping points in the interior of Cuba and then they are hauled over the Cuban railroad to Havana, and are ferried across the Gulf to Key | West. From there they are distrib- I uted throughout the country. The whole pineapple story is one full of j keenly interesting details. However, the point is: Why can’t we send these cars hack to Cuba loaded with butter, eggs, and other products of Southern farms? Of course, we are not pre pared to do that now but what is to keep us from preparing? Wouldn’t , the swap be worth our while? I Possibly the fact that railroad com munication has been established be tween the United States and Cuba may be a matter of news to some of i our readers. Yet cars have been j crossing the little stretch of water be tween Key West and Havana on boats for a number of years. Even live hogs are shipped from the South to markets in Cuba. As time goes on we may expect trade between our coun try and these neighbors to grow to enormous volume. As a matter of fact, it has reached tremendous vol ume already. During the fourteen months ending Aug. 31, 1922, 2,497 cars of farm products cleared through Key West alone for Cuba. Among these were 782 carloads of eggs. Missouri think of it—shipped 35 more cars ; thar - shipped from all the states of I the South put together. Of the 34 | cars of butter that cleared through this port, the South shipped 2, one from Birmingham and one from Louisville. It is interesting to note that 11 cars of butter came from clear across the continent right through the South and sold to a mar ket that ought to be our own, and will be as soon as we get in the game, but won’t be until we do. The volume of shipping accounted for here is only a part of the story. It does not include the shipments through Tampa, Mobile, New Orleans, Houston, Galveston, and other coast John Wanamaker, Philadelphia’s merchant prince, died Tuesday. His great business was built on extensive advertising coupled with square deal ing. There has been more building in Cedartown during 1922 than during the ten previous years all together. And still the demand for houses con tinues pressing. The United States Supreme Court made an important decision Monday to the effect that both the federal and state government can prosecute and punish the same unlawful act in the manufacture, transportation or sale of intoxicating liquors. Heretofore it has been generally considered that the action of one court was sufficient. Farms for Sale. We have a client who has two good farms for sale. Each has about 200 acres; one is about two miles from Cedartown and the other about six. Terms easy. If you want a good farm, get one of these now. MUNDY & WATKINS. Use Polk county products. points, but what we have shown ia sufficient to indicate the vast oppor tunity the South already has right At her door. And, of course, Cuba is going to grow and business is going to grow, too. The important question is whom is this business going to grow up be tween—the folks of the South and Cuba or those farthest removed from that country, as is the case now? It would serve the best interest of both Cuba and the South if we were sup plying their markets. Such plan would cave them freight and give them fresher products. We do not have to stop to figure out whether they are going to need the products of this country or not; they are buying them already beyond the South, of course, and having them shipped right by us. If our business people and market specialists are on the job a different story will be to tell in the future—the near future. Cuba is going to be somebody’s “treasure island.”—Southern Ruralist. He is a Rube, Is Nathan Boyd; His collar’s made Of celluloid. —Cedartown Standard. Another Rube Is Enoch Dutton; He goes to a thorn bush When he needs a button. —Walton News. That the country needs transporta tion facilities rather than reduoed freight rates is the asserton of J. D. McCartney, Assistant to President, Central of Georgia Railway. He calls attention to the absence of new rail way construction during recent years and to prevalent car shortage which has manifested itself just at the be ginning of a revival of business. He says the only way by which the people can assure themselves that the rail ways will be able to carry on their business is to permit the roads to earn a sufficient net return to attract new capital for extensions, improve ments and additional rolling stock. He says, too, that the real cause of the farmer’s troubles is the disparity be tween what he pays for the things ho buys and what he gets for the things ho sells. Advertisers in The Standard think enough of your business to give you invitations, which it will pay you to accept.
