OFFK'IAI, OltOAN OF TIIH t'FJ’V OF BAINBItIDOK AND DKCATtlB COUNTY. Telephone No. 239 Why not a clean up week right now. Everybody get busy a once. Cat right after them. The politicians are gathering now for the home stretch and in another month the agony will be over. If they move the capitol to Macon, some of the brethren are wanting to know if it could not be amended so that Tom Felder would have to stay in Atlanta. A pepper box saw mill could be used with good results on the vacant lots in the city. They are most too large for an axe to cut down. They need the attention of the public very badly just now. Wonders never cease. Saw a citizen having some weeds cut down on his vacant lot a few days ago unattended by any of ficer of any kind. Some how they will do these things. Judge Cox"made an address to the voters of this county Satur day at the Court House that was very well attended. Judge Cox ia a splendid orator and his friends think that his campaign is in good shape. This is the most interesting feature !<>f the years politics. i ° The state institutions have not been getting very much for their support this year for the plain and simple reason that the state has had no money for them- There is no question that they need it very bad in some in stances but they are not going to get all they need by a jug-full. o- A few more days and the 1916 session of the legislature will be at an end and while it has been criticised a great deal by the papers they really did turn out some good legislation. There is a de9ire on the parts of the mem bers to handle the state’s money -carefully despite all reckleness charged to them. Tom Felder was the stage hero 4o the last. His name is the most despised in the state today and it does look like he would -have the good judgement to keep in the back ground some what after seeing his stunt of stabbing actually charged to him by the ■people that have so little confi dence in anything that he would da We are informed that Hon. Jce Pottle, candidate for Governor wiH soon get into this county for a series of speeches. Mr. Pottle is looked on as the most able stump speaker in the state and his audiences have been some of the largest of the year. There are very few orators that equal Joe Pottle on any subject. Those who differ with him in this race agree to to very marked talent on his part. GLAD OF IT. We do not disguise our pleasure at the action of the house yester day in giving the Treutlen new county bill its solar piexus. It was what we thought a level headed legislature would do. We trust there will be no successful effort at recommitting this mea sure or of getting it before the house again under any tactics by which such things are sometimes done. If the gentlemen in the house and senate want to go back home and run upon a platform having as it principal plank the creating of the new county of Treutlen they have our permission to so. —Savannah Press. We wish to ask all our friends that have advertisements for the next month to try and get them in the office in time and give the force chance to handle their work right. The last days of the campaign are on hand and we want lo treat everybody right, giving all the best space that we can when we have the chance. COMPLETE RESIDENCE MADE IN GEORGIA IS SUPPED 10 EDEECE "Made in Georgia” houses are to be used in Greece, according to a letter received by The Firing Line from Lloyd F. Farrar, oi the Farrar Lumber Company, Dalton, Ga. Less than two weeks ago the company loaded a complete, ‘‘Farrar Made” house on board a big automobile car, and consigned the shipment to the Baltic Ter minals, New York City. From the terminals the house is to be transferred to the ship Themis- tocles and by the steamer taken to Athens, Greece, for use there. The house is two stories, and complete in every detail. With the shipment went detailed in struction as to just how the house is to be erected and put together, ready for occupancy. In his lettei Mr. Farrar says, “We feel very much encouraged by this demand for ready-built houses in foreign countries, and we hope that foreign ships will soon be laden with Georgia- made goods.” So tar as known, this is the first time a complete house has been shipped to such a distant point. THEY ALL DEMAND IT Bainbridge Like Every City and Town in tbe Union, Receives il. People with kidney ills want to be cured. When one suffers the tortures of an aching back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many remedies today that relieve, but do not cure. Don’s Kidney Piffs have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is Bainbridge evidence of their merit. Mrs. N. C. Sapp, 2'Jo Planters Street, Bainbridge, says: “For several years my kidneys were weak. 1 let the trouble run on until k kept getting worse and during the winter especially, I was brothered a lot. The kidney secretions were to fr.equnt and scanty in passage and caused me a great of annoyance. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at the Ehrlich Drug Co., aured me.

W. Williams, of Gadsden, Alabama, is in many respects so remark able as to be almost incredible. Her complete statement follow’s: ‘‘For nearly fifteen years I have had kidney trouble and I also had stomach trouble and suffered from nervous indiges tion. I could take no nourish ment except a little sweet milk and would have palpitation of the heart and nervous headaches and terrible pains in my sides and back. I got so weak I had to take to my bed and I stayed there 18 months. Doctors called two or three times a day, but I kept getting worse and fell off until I was almost a skeleton and to be turned in bed and only weighed 90 pounds. “My husband spent more than •1800 trying to get me well. Fin ally, I got so bad I was told that 1 could live only a few days. I believed, of course, that I was going to die and told my hus band to telegraph to Thomas ville, N. C., for my son and to At lanta and Birmingham for my other children. When my daughter-in-law, Mrs. R. C. Nelson, arrived from Atlanta, she begged father to get me Tan lac. He went right dowrn to Vance’s Drug Store and got me a bottle. I began taking it and on the second day I be gan to get hungry and asked for something to eat. They gave it to me, and it agreed with me and I have been eating ever since. After a short time I got so I could eat anything I wanted and just as much as I wanted. “After this I improved right al«ng and it wasn’t any time hardly before I was out of bed. It just seemed like the more Tanlac I took the better I got, and I have actually gained 48 pounds in weight. I sleep good now and am not nervous any more Ike I was. Yes, I feel al most as well as I ever felt in my life and am doing my housework and milk and churn. "After I got able to go about I visited my daughter, Mrs. Short, at Ensley, Ala., and have just returned from a trip to the store. I don’t do anything hut talk Tanlac. All of my neigh bors are talking about it, too, and think it is wonderful how this medicine has helped me.” 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.

Land value is fixed the balance in five equal annual installments'with interest from <ln by demand, and the most fertile and productive lands on the globe, have only a nominal value until it is actively sought. Create a demand for these idle lands in GEORGIA, and the increase in actual value, which will be sure to come, will reach a stupenduous figure. The ownership of idle lands that are not in active ^demand, means practical confiscation through taxation, while on the other hand, such ownership, with a demand that is substantial and insistent means great wealth and profit. This statement cannot possib ly be impeached, and it is for this purpose of devising a practi cal solution of the question that every large land owner in the State of GEORGIA owes it to himself to attend the meeting at Waycross, Ga., on August 23rd, next. ate of sal B.
