X es, sonny, Mr. Koddenhery fa
vored Hoke Smith and negro dis
franchisement, legal control of eor-
norations, and favors Prohibition,
County, State and National, and is
ready still to do, to dare, and to die
in advocacy of the eternal principles
of sane Democracy, and he is no new
advocate or convert to sanity.
Unfortunately some people, in
regard to the use of intoxicating
stimulants and opiates, are in the
position once occupied by a Scotch
man of a regiment fighting in Asia.
On the skirmish line, he advanced
into a thicket and soon called out:
“Andy! Andy! come quick -I’ve got
a Tart r.” Andy—“Bring him in.”
Skirmisher—“1 can’t! He won’t let
me go!” He had been taken priss
oner by a picket.
The President wilt engage in
another stumping tour Tom Sep
tember :;0 to October 0, largely in
the South, hut not in the Cotton
Belt. It will probably be a cam
paign ot “Education,” including an
expose of how to kill hears and
and political measures. Asoui emi.
nent President is an Al boxer, he
could add a side course in that line
that would he of a “scientific”
character. It will be a little late
for him to give practical illustra
tions in pitching hay.
We notice t* at some people put
their “whole soul” in doing what
they are doing and yet they fail.
Why? . . . There was a v. isidead
sister who though t etc could ascent
to Heaven by the power of Faith.
She invited her friends to witness a
practical demonstration. They as*,
sembled. Twice she got up on a
table, flopped her arms, jumped and
failed. When about to try it the
third time a bystander inquired
“And now, sister Nancy, what do
you think of your faith?” “Lawd
a mercy,” she replied, “Ise got just
as much faith as I ever had. but I
can’t get the infernal flop !!” Who
of those who are candidates for city
offices have got the flop?
The law against the sale of nan
cotics is good hut it must he en-
forced ^reasonably and judiciously.
Those who have been addicted to
the use of narcotics for years must
he treated humanely and scienti
fically. They cannot change their
enslavement instanter without ex
periencing horrible torture. But
while dealing with them humanely
they should he made to understand
distinctly that consideration for
their chronic infirmity does not in
any way favor evasion of the law
or p-lliation rf the r had habit.
In the vernacular of the tim£s,
“there will be something doing”
down in the Wiregrass, when the
big wool hat ol Terrell tries to over
shadow the spriglitlv alapaca coat
of Thomas. Judge Roddeohery has
donned the uniform of John Sharp
Williams. It is now quite in order
for Judge Griggs to put on the
while duck suit, like Vardanian’s
uniform, and speak to “the red
necks” of the district.—Savannah
Press.
“Red necks” is good, hut his main
p:ea will he to the Red Noses to
stand by him, “one of whom him
self is which”—in proof of which
we make profert of the candidate.
The man who has a business with
a good stock, and is afraid to adver
tise because it may not pay (having
tried it once and deemed the result
not satisfactory) is like the foolish
fellow who throws away a good cigar
because it dees not light read% Ad
vertising is always remunerative
when dqne “ssiieatifically” and is
truthful. There must he a pocket
to pocket attraction. Much de
pends on how that is sa ; d which is
said. Wannamaker, in Phi'ladtl.
jfliia, pays an accomptislie.i writer
$5,000 a year to wrjte his depart
ment stores’ advertisements. These
change daily. They coyer whole
pag..‘8 of the metropolitan journals
at an inn ■ ense outlay. The ads are
read as “news”. They ar,e not only-
interesting hut they are also in
structive. A’d Wannamaker, Sie-
gle, Cooper & Co., Barr in St. Louis
and others elsewhere, are all mil
lionaires and they got this weahh
by advertising judiciously and at
tractively, “Eternal vigilence is the
price of liberty”—eternal advertis
ing is the source of wealth.
The editor of the Marietta Jour
nal is having some trouble, too, we
judge by the following, printed re
cently in that excellent pat er:
“Sometimes an editor offends by
things he writes, a*id offends again
for things he doesn’t write. Vi e
have long since learned that no edi
tor can please all his readers all the
time—no move tb in the cooks can
please the taste a4d digesiion of
everybody, at every meal.” There
was a time in history when there
was strenuous discussion and dis
putes in England as to bow, when
and where to use the punctuation
marks. This led to an author is
suing a pamphlet i n the subject —
aU of the matter being totally de
void of any p actuation points
.whatever. But at the end T>f the
reading matter on the subject there I
were two pages, exclusive y o* j
points of all kinds a»d over them j
•c tech page: “Please t-easen to suit
yourself.” Read th* Democrat and
season accordingly.
We learn via the Savannah Press
that “the boys in Thomasville say
that Judge Roddenbery cannot even
keep a cow, for every one he gets
goes dry after it comes into his
possession.” D n’t know about that
hut he lias had more to do with
drying the counties ot the Second
Congressional District than any ten
men in it, and he hasn’t had to
“ditch” them either, nor has he tailed
at a single point, where he has been
given a fair show by the local
leaders, and the emancipated com
mon people know and say that the
man who can do that much for them
and never leave home, can get what
ever he wants that they’ve got, in
the way of suffrage—altho it isn’t
on these grounds alone that they are
for him; nor do they intend these
facts to bar him their votes, be
cause a bishop, the bar rooms’ ele
ments or the Georgia Liquor Deal
ers’ Association are seeking to knife
him and nis winning candidacy. In
other words, if Roddenberv at home
can thus help the people, Rodden
bery in Congress can do yet moi e,
and they’ve iiiith to trust ami give
him a trial art it.

Autumn and Business.
The calendar says that Summer,
“the good, old . ummer-time ’is gone
and already we are having newte.
tivity in bus’ness circles ot men.
Even the fields and woods are be
ginning to wear their led and gold
banners, and the song of the cotton
picker and harvester are heard m
the land. The very anticipation of
autumn sends th? blood tingling
through the veins with unwonted
vigor. The indications are that. rite
business season which is about to
open w ill he the most successful the
south has experienced in many
years. The cotton fields are while
and the /yield will be abundant,
with every promise that good prices
wdl rule throughout the year. The
returns -rom this staple c,op will
flow through all the channels of
trade aud every hrdacL of commerce
and industry will share m the gen
fH al prosperity.
World Growing Better.
The world is growing constantly
better. There is more chanty today
than ever before. There is more
religion than ever before, and it
constantly takes a higher and more
practical form TLe really needful
can get more help and more prompt
help than ever before it the history
of men. There are more churches,
with more membership than ever
before, more ministers and better
ministers than ever before.
It is well to try to make every
body better, but it is a mistake to
get the idea that the world is wicked
and that God is greaily displeased
with it. That is not true. It is a
prplty good world and it is getting
better all the time. When a man
sntters with the idea that his neigh
bors are very wicked and that only
he and a few others are good, he
needs to consult a physician.

The Limit of Life.
The most eminent medical scien
tists are unanimous in the conclusion
that the generally accepted limita
tion of human life is many years
below the attainment possible with
the advanced knowledge of which
the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its
duration, seems to be between 50
and 60; the proper care of the body
(hiring th’s decade eann t be too
-tro gly urged; carele-sness then
being fytal to longevity. Nature’s
be.-t helper after 50 is Electric Bit
ters, the scientific medicine that re-
vital zes every organ of the body.

Ark., “fixed” the price of cotton at
15 cents, hut the farmers throughout
the Cotton Belt are rolling at
This Xlnion claims a
large membership.
Savannah Press: “In view of the
fact that mere ip a good crop of
cotton throughout the cotton belt
and estimates based on conservative
figures place the crop at 15,000,000
hales, it is not evident bow the
banners’ L nion will keep prices up.”
^Cointissmner Hudson says the
cotton crop is off*30~to‘~tiTpercent?
in Georgia on account of the drouth
that prevailed in August- Mr,
Hudson is a practical farmer. He
is satisfied that not more than a
million bales will he gathered in
Georgia this season.

MRS. McGOUGH.
Depressed Feeling.
Mrs. M. McGough, 219 W. 53rd street,
New York, N. Y., writes:
“I gladly add my mite of praise to
Peruna for what it has done for me.
Two years ago a depressed feeling took
hold of me. My back and sides ached
continually. My stomach got out of
order so that at times I could not hold a
glass of cold water. I didn’t like to eat,
afraid that my stomach would get sick.
I have been using Peruna for the three
past months and now 1 feel as well as
l ever did. My stomach is as strong
as ever and my nervous troubles have
disappeared 1 keep recommending
Peruna to my friends who are tronbled
as I was, and I have been thanked for |
doing so.”
M00ERS.
Mrs. Wilda Mooers, R. P. D. 1,
r Lents, Ore., member Order of Wash-
\ ington, writes:
“For the past four years I was a
wretched woman suffering with
troubles peculiar to my sex, cau- ing
severe backache and bearing down
pains and leaving me so weak and
weary that it was only with dif
ficulty that I was able to attend to
my household duties. I used differ
ent remedies and injections, but
found no relief until 1 had tried
Peruna. Within two weeks there
was a complete change for the
better and in less than three months
a well and happy woman
all the praise is due to Peruna.
MRS. NELSON,
headache and Backache.
Mrs. Tressie Nelson, 609 N. 5th Ave.,
Nashville, Tenn., writes:
“As Peruna has done me a world of
good, I feel in duty bound to tell of it,
in hopes that it may meet the eye of
some woman who has suffered as I did.
For five years 1 really did not know
what a perfectly well day was, and if I
did not have headache, I had backache
or a pain somewhere and really life wae
not worth the effort 1 made to keep
going.
“A good friend advised me to use
Peruna and 1 was glad to try anything,
and I am very pleased to say that six
bottles made a new woman of me
and I have no more pains and life looks
bright again.”
The above testimonials represent actual experience of every-day life. They are the truthful utterances of
women who havfe been ill&nd have found a reliable remedy in Peruna.
It means a great deal to the women of America who have at hand a remedy capable of performing such
cures. Nervousness, backache, dyspepsia, headache, melancholy, bearing down pains. All these and a host of
other symptoms are relieved by Peruna. At least this is what the women say. They have no object in saying
such things, except to render truthful testimony to their suffering sisters.
The reader will note by reading these testimonials that in most cases other remedies were tried, doctors
were consulted, and finally Peruna came to their rescue and made them well again. »
Peruna is making such cures every day. It is the testimony of the people that has made Peruna so justly
famous
Suffered Thirteen Years.
Mrs. Anna Mundea.Sallygrove, Ark.,
writes:
“I suffered wMi female troubles for
thirteen years.
“I saw an advertisement of your
Peruna and bought #ne bottle and be
fore I had taken Ka*I could get out of
bed and walk abewt.
“ After taking three bottles I was as
-.veiland hearty as tyer and gained in
ffeah. I weald nod b* without it.”
Headache and Deafness.
Mrs. Mary E. Sampsorf, Londonderry,
N. H., writes:
“I had terrible headaches, both ears
run and I was nervous all the time, was
aeaf in one ear for thirty years. I took
six bottles of Pern naan done of Manalin,
and am happy to say that It is the beet
medicine that I ever heard of. I am not
so nervous, my appetite is go«d, everv-
, thing I eat agrees with me, and I am
i feeding better in every way.”
A Severe Cold.
Miss Marie Calvin, 927 Main street,
Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
“I caught a cold coming home from
an evening party, and as 1 did not pay
particular attention to it, I quickly be
came worse and found myself in,r
serious condition.
“I took Peruna and it brought me im
mediate relief. Within a week I wat
eared and now whenever I feel batiij
' Peruna will set things right.”
