THE FARMERS AND THE BANKS.
The South contributed in no way
to the bringing on of the money panic
that has afflicted the nation for some
tiii't and that has in a large measure
stagnated business. The business of
this section of the country has been
carried on in a legitimate manner
ami has had nothing to do with the
state ot affairs that it *o be held ac-
,mutable for the panic. At the same
inu- the South has in a more or less
legree suffered from the effects of
he money panic, some parts of th*
South more than others
ie city of Athens has been pecu-
liarly fortunate (luring this season of
1, pression. in that the local banks
nave not been forced to issue any
clearing house certificates to keep
aings going and also in that these
links have at all times been ready
pay their depositors whenever
[■hecks were presented for payment.
One vliing that could have been
done in relieve the situation here
was nat (lone, and it is concern
ing Hint phase of the situation lli.ii
we speak just now. Tile farmers of
this section have sold a large part of
their cotton crop and after paying
ill Ms a great many have taken their
surplus cash home with them and
have it now. If the formers had
li ft tli it money in some one of the
batiks of Alliens, all of which ar-
i lioroughly solvent and in splendid
condition, they wuuhl have had their
just as safe, ill fact saf< r.
than tin y have had it. and at the same
time would have kept front withdraw
ing that much currency from circtila
i. If the runners would deposit

Sick Kidneys Weakens the Whole
Body—Make You III, Languid
and Depressed.
Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of
life-giving albumen from the blood
into the urine, and the substitution
of poisonous uric acid that goes broad
cast through the system, sawing the
seeds of disease. Loss of albumen
causes weakness, langour. depression.
ric poisoning causes rheumatic pain,
nervousness, nausea! cricks in the
back, gravel and Kidney stones. The
proper treatment is a kidney treat
ment. and the best remedy is Doan's
Kidney Pills. Great Alliens cures
prove it.
W. R. Booth, proprietor of a groce.y
and general store, at 152 River street,
says: "I was for so long a time a
sufferer from backache and kidiu y
complaint that 1 began to fear that I
oald never he cured. I had a dud.
heavy pain across the small of my
back. The secretions from the kid
neys were very dark and full of sr-li
ment and were als 1 very difficult to
control, kcepiug me very restless at
night and compelling me to rise from
my bed at all hours. The a

of Doan's Kidney Bills and got a lei

and used them according to direction.
The pain left my back, the urine wa
