As perhaps you are already

glasses,— and in consequence
thereof mole hills seem as moun

therefore tried to investigate con
dition in Early county in regard
to the Congressional race and
have not confined these investi
gations to one single camp. The
general opinion of the best politi
cal “prognosticators” in this
county indicates that Park will
carry Early by at least 300 votes;
some estimating his majority as
high as 500.
I have gone into the Lucile

Cairo, Ga., Sept. 4.—The con

is creating more interest than

concede the county for Park. It
is considered Park’s majority in
Grady will be 400 to 600 out of
1,800 votes being polled.

Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 4.— As
to how Thomas county would
go in the congressionol race
there has never been a doubt.
The best posted men in all sec

Calomel loses youja day! You
know what calomel is. It’s mer
cury; quicksilver. Calomel is
dangerous. It crashes into sour
bile like dynamite, cramping and
sickening you, Calomel attacks
the bones and should never be
taken into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish
constipated and all knocked out
and believe you need a dose of
dangerous calomel just remember
that your druggist sells for 50
cents a large bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone, which is entirely
vegetable and plesant to take
and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is gauranteed to start
your liver without stirring you
up inside, and can not salivate.
Don’t take calomel! It makes
you sick the next day; it loses
you a day,s work. Dodson’s
Liver Tone straightens you up
and you feel great. Give it to
the children because it is per
fectly harmless and does not
gripe.
