Some persons who believe only j There is etill tome unterrified
half what they hear perversely in* I capital in Georgia and it is being
fiat upon choosing the worst halt, pat to work.
Which class are yon in.?
Flood, flames and Aim flam polt>
tun are eviis from which rnnus
sections have suffered. In Georgia
flim flam politics has been the worst.
jN’o babies have yet been named
after Jofe Brown. No mother would
be so cruel as to give her pretty boy
the name of the railroad candidate.
Suppose that for any reason Mr.
Bryan should not be a candidate at.
the Denver convention, what are
these delegates to do who are in-
structed to vote for Bryan?
From every section come reports
af a rapid betterment of industrial
conditions. The canse of the de
pression which was precipitated
last fall upan the country was p re
ly artificial, and the people having
rallied from the fright then is now
everywhere a return to normal con
dition.
An old negro in Rome died from
drinking near beer, and several
others barely escaped th-' same late.
So it seems that the substitute is
more dangerous than 'he real stuff.
North Carolina is now dry; other
states will follow; civilization has
reached the stage that looks with
horror on the greatest evidence of
human depravity. We are passing
to a higher plain.
The present gubernatorial contest
w ill go down into history as the
most uncalled tor and unnecessary
one of all previous campaigns in
Georgia.
We want someoody to tell us aN
ter the election how much good it
did them to go crazy during the
campaign.
Did it ever occur to you that
when foreign capital comes to
Georgia it comes after he best we’ve
got? We have never believed that
our development, growth and en-
ri.'hment depended on foreign cap
ital, nor we have been the stickler
foreign capital that some of our
'a glibors appear to be. The fore-
i_m apital idea has been worked
vtr: line.
The worst bore ot the campaign
is the fellow all the time wanting to
b t on something.
The prohi ition wave seems to be
rolling on. North Carolina has
g ne dry by )x>pnlar vote, and the
indications are that several other
Southern states will shortly follow.
Let ’er roll!

Cotton has been bringing 11 cen.s

market, he must also deserve credit

The Johnson workers take it as a
good sign tl at Georgia may send
an uninstrocted :e,legation to Den

Governor Hon.e Smith stands out
today as the champion of the peo*
pie of Georgia against ling rule and
railroad domination. He stands for
the disfranchisement ot the negro;
he stands tor a government in the
interest of the people. He has dealt
honestly and fairly w’th the peo;’e
and tried fc> redeem every promise
he made. The corporations are
fighting him because he demanded
of them subjection to the la "’8 of
the state, and that they Pear their
portion of taxation.

I’anline, it is not. strange tint

warm. Just think <>1 the amount of

Hu- opposition to Hoke Smith be-

luinist'atioB, eoratng from t esource

This office has received a copy of
the handsome folder issued recently
by the Georgia, Florida and Alas
bama Railway, giving the details of
the Sumatra Leaf Route, extending
at present from Cuthbert, Ga., to
Carabelle, Fla. The design is par
ticularly striking, showing a tobacco
leaf, with Columbus, Ga., the ultis
mate northern ead of the road, in
the stem, and Apalachicola, Fla.,
which is to be the southern ter
minus, at the other end of the leaf.
Among the effective illustrations
with which this really artistic folder
is embelished, are views showing
shade tobacco along the line of the
Georgia, Florida and Alabama
Railway in different stages of
growth, and the perfect combination
of climate and soil is well illustrated
by the remarkably rapid growth of
the plant. In this county, through
which this road pasees, is located
the largest independent tobacco
plantation in the world. The head
quarters of the G., F. & A. Ry. are
here and J. C* O’Dell is general
manager.
Who'll Pay the Freight
There is one question in connect
tion with the. gubernatorial cam.
paign which is becoming more
prominent every day. That ques.
tion is: “Who pays the freight?”
Who is putting u|> all the money,
and why? It is palpably ararent
that a great deal of money is being
spent by the Joe Brown campaign
managers.
That he is the railroad candidate
is known. Is it not also fair to as
sume that the railroads are furnish
ing part of the money tor his cam-
.paign?
And it they do, and Joe Brown
should be elected and do for the
railroads what they had in mind,
and this results in profiling the
railroads, out ot whose pockets
must come the money to make put-’
ting up money for Joe Brown’s
campaign expenses a piofitabie in
vestment to the interests that sup
plied the cash?
When corporations spend money
for political purposes it is not done
to serve the cause of the people.

What The ‘Kidneys Do
Their Unceasing Work
Keeps Us Strong and
Healthy
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They worts night and
day. When healthy they removed
lbout 560 grains of impure matter
dally, when unhealthy some
part of this impure matter
is left on the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms—
pain the back, headaches, nerv
ousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma
tism, gout, gravel, di-ordors of th-
eyesight and hearing, dizziness,
dropsy, deposits in tne urine,etc,
But if you keep the filters right
you will eeve no trouble with your
kidneys.
J. E. Y, Jester, living at 543 Cal
houn street, Bainbridge, Gs.,says:
‘1 suffered more or less from kid
ney for several years, caused, 1

There is comfort in the knowled; m

Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rlienmatir nt,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bi.uiiier
and every part of the urinary pas-J.:,c.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or b .d
effects following use of liquor, vi’.e or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during tiie night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swam;>• Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a lucdiciuc
