OFFICIAL OKOAS OF TilK Cl'i'V OF BAINHRIDriB AND DKCATtlR COUNTY. Telephono No. 239 STATE RAILROAD COM MISSION TO DETERMINE TARIFF REGULATION Poor health is expensive. Flyless town has few funerals. It’s worry, not work, which shortens life? The well that drains the cess pool is the cup of death. Phneumonia kills over 120,000 Americans each year. A cold bath every morning is the best complexion remedy. The \T. S. Public Health Service has reduced malaria 00 per cent in some localities. The .death rate from typhoid fever in the United States has been cut in half since 1900. This week brings the heavy grind of the session, three meet ings per day. This House has had more work to do than any that has met in the state for years past. I*»'“ The politicians are all very busy figuring out the state races but few of them seem to be very vitally interested in them. The state campaign this year will be very mild commared with some others that we have had. The Tennessee Copper matter seems to have stirred up a hornets nest and the case of the people of Georgia versus a out of state corporation will be watched with interest. There is evidence of unfair connivance to some extent in the may politics have crept into this matter. The House passed a modest local option compulsory education bill last week that gives each county a chance to see what they want along this line. The way that some of the children of the state are treated it seems makes some skeleton bill of this kind needed. A better biH would be missed were the school conditions enough to war rant it. This bill will be watched with interest. For Solicitor General To the White Yotwu of the Albany Judicial Circuit: This wilt make known to you that l •m » candidate for re-election to the office of Solicitor (tenoral ot said Cir cuit. subject to the State Democratic Primary to be held on September 12th. I am grateful for the confidence you have reposed hi me ia the past, and ■incerely trust that my service has been such us to merit your endorse ment for another term. I will be lhankful for your supjHirt, and it again honorod l>y you, 1 am pledged to serve you fciithfully, Sincerely yours, It. C. Hell. Much alarm exists at this time among shipping interests of the state over the proposed raise of freight rates on the part of the railroads. This alarm, however, is greatest with those persons or locations where little or no actual knowledge has been gained ot the real character and determin ing judgement of the state rail road commission. So very little is mentioned relative to this determining board in the present aggitation that it might seem as if the entire cause of the shippers was lost if frantic and fevered effort was not made by said shippers or their cities to save the advantage to their industries. In this respect, all commercial and industrial enterprises should enjoy favoring freight rates and timely action is commendable where trespass is made or pre sumed that, will directly or in directly reduce the earnings of the business in favor of the com mon carrier. Common prudence demands such protective effort on the part of any shipper or city where its industries may be sub ject to discriminating tariff re gulation. Self preservation is a commendable asset but even that should be assumed with sanity and well balanced judg ment. So with present freight tariff regulation, an equitable well balanced rate is the one de sired by all contracting parties; one that will not discriminate against any one city or shipper in favor of any other, and at the same time serve all local or state jiuterestsin a way to foster its growing industries. OFFICE OF STATE KAILROAD COMMISSION. Such the Railroad Commission of Georgia has already verified. Its verdicts is some well known instances has been with the people where conflicting differene existed. In the Atlanta-Stone Mountain question of rates, the street car company contended for a 40 cent passanger rate while the demand of the people was for a 25 cent passage. The commission decided in favor of the people and a 25 cent rate prevailed and the street car com pany is doing a good business. The state railroad commission decided the issue not the fevered clamor of the people living along the .line. A quiet petition would have served the people equally well. With the present tariff aggita tion the railroad commission will decide the issue; not the railroads nor the excitement ot the people. On their side, that of the com mission, it is reasonable to pre sume that as cit'zens of Georgia they are fully alive to the mean ing of euuitable and advanta geous tariff rates for the grow ing industries ot the state. It is equally evident, that apart from coertion or other’promptingfrom the people over the state, the commission are on their job and are making and investigation far more searching and comprehen sive than any that will be present ed by the shippers themselves; and that finally in the last analysis, a verdict will be render ed by this tribunal astonishingly agreeable for its wisdom, breadth of comprehension of the subject, and favorable to state inta'ests. Alarm of the fevered kind may well subside in favor of the well attested judgement of the state railroad commission. Their judg ment is final and it will never be against the equitable interests of Georgia. The Reunion—Georgia Divis- WILL TRADE, ion. U. CC, V. will be held at!

B. 53, Marianna, Fla , WEEKLY BOARD OF TRADE NOTES Surplus Tomatoes Should Be Canned One of the sorriest spectacles against frugal domestic ecomomy observed at this season of the year is the wamton waist of quantities of tomatoes and other perishable table vegetables. These vegetables used daily on the tables of every household must be purchased after the sea son is over if not canned and preserved. Any waste, therefore from the ciop which is necessary for home use during the year, is an extra expense against the in come or bank account. Strict economy and frugal management in every home de demands that these vegetables should bd~grown in quantities to meet all table demands; that cans should be employed to preserve all surplus stock sufficient at least to meet all family require ments. In this respect the girl’s canning clubs are doing a great work in behalf of better and more economic living. However it is not so much what the clubs are doing but each and every household is accomplishing for the supply of its own table. With reference to the several methods now in common use for canning tomatoes and other vegetables the cold pack seems to be the favorite as it is the most convenient. Glass jars and the open kettle methods are both in frequent use. In fact any one of the several methods that will properly preserve the vegetables in good order and is most con venient is the one to use. The idea being in all cases to can or preserve in some form a sufficient quantity to supply the home and save the family bank account. Any waste in domestic frugality is simply a financial loss against the fortune and future of the home. MRS. JOINER CAINS T PANACEA SPRINCS Mr. D. H.

Engineer’s Wife Says Her Health Was Completely Broken Down. “I have just finished my third bottle of Tanlac and have gained thirty-five pounds,” was the truly remarkable statement made by Mrs. Wilhelmina Joiner, wife of Richard Joiner, the well-known ! engineer on the M. D. & S. rail- | road, residing at 115 Third street, Macon, Ga. j ‘‘Before I began taking the | medicine my health was so brok- I en and I was in such a badly run- I down condition, I couldn’t give 'sufficient nourishment to my young baby—in fact, was com pletely broken down in every i way. | “I suffered from nervous in digestion and have been in a general run-down condition. In fact, for nearly two years I have suffered from nervous prostra- ! tion brought on by this trouble. | "I tried doctors, I tried medi- | cines, I tried nearly everything you could think of trying to get 1 relief, but it just seemed like the j harder I tried to get well, the j worse 1 would get. Finally my ' condition got so I couldn’t eat | any solid food of any kind with out suffering torture. It just looked like I was on the verge of a physical decline, and some times I almost despaired of ever getting well and strong again. | ‘‘That’s just the condition I was in when I began taking j Tanlac, and it wasn’t any time hardly after I began taking it ' before I began to improve. My I nerves got better at once and I got so I could enjoy a good j night’s sleep. Then my appetite j returned, and it just looked like I couldn’t get enough to eat. I j could just eat anything put on the table, and everything seemed to taste good and nourish me. And the baby, why, you just ought to see it. It is just thriving and is getting plenty of nourish ment. My complexion has clear ed up, too, and I have a good color now for the first time in years. Before I began taking this Tanlac I was as yellow as a lemon. ‘‘My husband thinks there, is no medicine on earth like Tanlac, and my friends are all talking about how I have improved. I am only too glad to tell you what it has done for me, as it has been nothing short of a blessing in my case.” Tanlac is sold in Bainbridge exclusively by Willis Drug Co., in Donalsonville by the Palace Drug Co; Climax by the Climax Pharmacy; Iron City, by Strick land & Cordell; Brinson, by H.
