“The vermiform appendix is ab
solutely useless,” sayB the Wash
ington Herald. Not so, for what
would the world now be siying of
Georgia’s political condition, tor she*
is evidently suffering with political
apendicitis, and without the very
vermiform attachment, so recently
made manifest, diagnosis would be
most difficult.
lion. Joe Hill Hall goes back to

One thing is true, it would be a

\tmther scientist ha? come ier*
ward with the announcement that
ti.i sun is gradually cooling off and
that posterity will freeze to death,
btr it is very difficult to be very
much impressed with such prognos-
ii^tVms as long as we are to have
campaigns as hot as the one which
closed on the 4th o* June.
'Notwithstanding his defeat, Gov.
Smith received nearly ten thousand
more votes in the primary than he
did in ID06. This shows that the
oppos tion to him was not the spon
taneous affair that the Joe Brownies
would make believe, but was born
of a carefully planned and vigorous 1
ly executed scheme ot retaliation.
Has anybody noticed that there
have been few assaults in Georgia
since prohibition was obtained?
Turn sack to the records made in
June a year ago, two vears rgo,
three, four, five and six years ago
ana say if we are not compensated
a thousand times over, taking noth
ing else into acsount.
“The people paid a high tribute
to themselves in passing through as
warm a campaign as the one which
has just closed without a single
personal collision, so tar as we are
aware.—Ex.
They should i ay tribute to pro.
lubition, or what is more to the
point, to people who are^responsible
lor prohibition.
There were fome exceptions to
the rule of sobriety and decency. In
some instances liquor was used and
vote buying practiced, but they
were isolated instances. It was
Georgia’s soberest election.
The Joe Brown management
should not fee? bad over the decli
nation of Judge Callaway and Ed;*
tor Pendleton. There are a whole
lot of the faithful left, who are will*
ii.ir to accept positions of honor,
trust or emoluments, as the case
may t»p.—Macon News.
It is rather an evidence of moral
■in' m the gentlemen named we
' ike it. that they decline.
At the end cf his first term Presi
dent Cleveland was defeated about
as Governor Smit' was defeated.
Later he was re- elected bv an oven
whelming majority over the same
man who had defeated him at the
end of his first term. Our predicts
tion is that IIi ke Smith will be the
strongest and most pooul r man in
Georgia in less than' two years
Nobody doubts his ability, every,
body knows ol his great energy and
indomitable will, and principles for
which he stands will live far beyond

Want of Discipline.
A lack of discipline is one great
curse of this age of the world.
In the family, tbe school and the
colleg youngsters grow un to do
as they please. There is a mawkish
sentiment which is evidence of de
generacy and which prevents the
old .fashioned, wholesome enforce
ment of authority among children
and youtu. It is not good for so*,
ciety and not good for the individ*
uals. In every family a^d in every
school it is desirable to have some
stringent regulations, if for no other
reason than having them complied
with. The best foundation for
characterh the habit of submission
to authority, and the tun# to acquire
that habit is in childhood and
youth. None can ever become so
comp lent to wisely direct as those
who have first earned to obey. The
looseness and instability of fami’y
discipline and in the insistence of
silly and inefficient parents that the
same looseness of discipline shall be
carried in the schools, from which it
easily extends into the colleges.
The fledgeling in college will turn
out a much more useful member of
society if be is made to behave hi mi
self or clear out.
cracy. But Governor Johnson is
nea'er being a tariff reformer than
Mr. Bryan.
Mr. Roo.-evell now has but a few j
days left lu which to make his third
and final declaration that he will
not accept a renomination. But he
is not improving the opportunity,
and if he runs he will be re-elected.
Tom Watson’s interest in the
Democratic party is limited by the
extent to which he can make mis
chief within his ranks. His nomina.
tion for the 'vice-presidency on the
Democratic ticket would be about as
appropriate as the suggestion of a
Methodist hishop for Pope of Rome.

For Voting Machines.
Henceforth The Democrat is in
favor of the county and city jointly
nyng voting machines, election
day.
It consumed part of Tnursday and
all that night to count the results ot'
au election in which only 2,200 votes
were cast, divided up in 12 precints.
Then to consolidate that number of
votes it occupied the executive com*
mittee from 12 o’clock to 2:30.
In New York State, and other
states where voting machines are
used, it would requi e about five
ruinates to get. the entire resuP,
number of votes cast, how many
each candidate received and the
consolidated vote, no matter wheths
er it is 2,000 or 200,000.
There are no ballots to print and
count, no keeping tally, or any of
the cler cal work that is necessary
for such elections as was held
Thursday.
And the voting is so easy. No
getting a ballot from tbe managers
and going off to figure on who to
vote for and who to scratch, no
keeping the clerks busy in dropping
the tickets iu a box, and all that
sort ot thing.
There are managers, of course,
but the voter goes into tbe preemet,
pushes a button against the name ot'
the candidate he wants to vote for
and that’s all there is to it, no mat*
t r how many names on the ma
chine.
Wich these machines, when the
hour for closing conies all that is to
be done is fo one oi the managers
to give a turn or so oi a crank,
hkc a cash register, and out drops a
panted *lip with all tie votes on it,
ready tor the record.
Enough money was spent last
election sn bal’ots and clerk hire to
buy enough machines for the city
and county to last a lifetime.

“For several years 1 suffered more
or less from kidney and bladder
trouble. Sometimes I had pain^
about my hips and in my limbs
and I felt tired and languid most
of the time. My kidneys wer
sluggish and occasionally, when
voiding the secretion 3 , there was
an intense smarting sensation.

writes Mr. Frank Conian of No 43*;

for lame hack and weak kidney* it
cannot he too highly recommend- \

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
iscourages and lessens ambition; beauty,
vigor and cheerful
ness soon disappear
when tbe kidneys arc
out cf order cr dis
eased.
Kidney tree" le has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncom
mon for a child to be
born afflicted with
weak kidneys. If the
old urinates too often, if the urine scalds
q flesh, or if, when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet
ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi
culty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment ot
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition oi
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
habit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miser
able with kidney and bladder trouble
and both need the same great remedy.
