THE BAINBRIDGE POST-SEARCH LIGHT
IADT WAS IN A BAD FIX
FROM NERVOUS INDIGESTION
Biloxi, Miss.—“I had, for a year or
■core, nervous indigestion, or some form
0 I stomach trouble,” says Mrs. Alonzo
ford, 1H7 Clay Street, this city. “The
wa ter I drank at that time seemed to
constipate me. I would suffer until I got
so nervous I wanted to get down on the
door and roil. 1 felt like 1 could tear
my clothes.
“Every night, and night after night, I
had to take something for a laxative, and
It had to be kept op nightly. My side
vould pain. I looked awful. My skin
was sallow and seemed spotted. I would
r look at my hands and arms, and the Heft
looked lifeless.
“I happened to get a Birthday Almanac,
so I told my husband I would try \W
Black-Draught, which 1 did. I took a
few big dosea. I felt much belter. My
liver acted well. I made a good, warm
teaand drank it that pray. Soon 1 found
that nervous, tight feeling was going, as
was the pain in my side. 1 found 1 did not
have to take it every night. Soon , after
a few weeks, 1 could leave it off for a
week or so. and I did not suffer with
constipation... I gained flesh. I have a
good color, and believe it was a stubborn
liver, and that Black-Draught did the
work.
"I went to my mother’* (Mr*. Dealers)
one day, and she wasn’t well at all. . . I
told her we’d try Black-Draught We
did, and now she keeps it to take after
eating. It certainly helped her, and we
neither will be without it in our home*.
,!• I* so simple, and the dose can be
regulated at the cue may be. We use
small dose* after meals for indigestion,
and larger dose* for headsche or bad
liver."

Americans who watch with tight-1
ening jaws the insidious encroach
ment of Communism, Bolshevism and
their unwashed brother isms on the
truly American institutions can take
a just pride in the way California vo
ters last week repudiated an effort
to foist o nthe State a gigantic pub
lic ownership scheme involving every
hydro-electric power utility and at
least five hundred million of dollars.
Enlightened voters there, warned
of the great menace which the plan
held for every one of them, voted
about three to one throughout the
State to spurn the plan. This rebuke
was perhaps the most stinging yet
administered to the Communistic-
minded originators of the public own
ership delusion. Certainly it left
them in doubt as to how the Cal
ifornia electorate feels towards such
pfforts.
It was a most ambitious plan, and
for this reason its defeat carries the
greater measure of satisfaction. Ev
ery bit of water power in the state
was to be surrendered into the hands
of five political appointees constitu
ting a “Water and Power Board/’
These men, subject to no restraint,
were to be allowed to pick and choose
among the hydro-electric utilities and
to take over operation of those which
met their exalted fancy.
A bond issue of five hundred mil
lion dollars was to be used to finance
this naive undertaking. And the prop
erty of every tax payer in the state
was to be placed in jeopardy as se
curity for that eormnous bond issue.
The spending of the money, of course
was to be a matter for the “board's”
exclusive decision.
To less ambitious minds, this would
seem to be enough to ask the voters
to swallow at one dose. But your
true Communist and public ownership
zealot is nothing if not magnificently
ambitious in his visionary projects.
The originators of the plan which the
California voters so thoroughly de
feated went even further. They pro
posed to give to this board of five men
unlimited power to draw on the funds
| of the state as well.
It is worthy note that, Los Angel
es and San Francisco voted particu
larly heavily against the scheme. In
each of these cities there is a muni
cipally owned ancV operated public
utility. The success which those two
have had may be judged by the great
upnopularity of pjublic ownership
there as evidenced by the vote.
The thinking voter of every sec
tion of America may ponder well the
meaning of the California fiasco.
Similar movements have bqen at
tempted in many other states and
are in contemplation in many others.
A typical instance was the experi
ence of the Georgia Legislature at
its last session. The Georgia plan
was put forth by the League of Mu
nicipalities was the last word in am
bitiousness.
It went a step further than did the
California plan. California folk stop
ped at a proposal of five hundred mil
lion dollars of bonds. The Georgia
plan had no limit whatsoever. Its
small group of unrestrained political
appointees, dubbed a Hydro-Electric
Commission, were to be given the au
thority to go to any length in pro
curing power properties and to re
sort, of necessary, to the use of the
state's taxing power to make up any
deficit caused by ine cient and oth
erwise financially unsuccessful man
agement and operation.
Fortunately, the Georgia Legisla
ture saw the profound dagner of any
such proceeding and killed the plan
without ceremony. But the dreamers
and agitators back of it, who have" all
to gain and nothing but your prop
erty to lose, will not down easily. Ev
en now, a new plan is being made for
use in the next session of the legis
lature.
Americans should be on guard. For
there is need for watchful men now
as never before.
The above ia from the Atlanta
Searchlight, and is the best and most
sensible thing wo have ever seen in
that paper. It is a strong editorial
statement, but the gentleman does
not quite go far enough.
We wonder if he knows that three
big New York Trust companies that
make it a business of buying bonds,
are behind not only this stuff of the
Municipal League, but the seventy-
five million dollar bond issue for
roads and every other state bond
movement ns well. They are financ
ing the propaganda for all of it. They
have been financing the Municipal
League program for some time, and
some poor ginks have been deluded
into believing that John Eagan was
paying those bills. Everybody now
knows, that has one eye and half
sense, that Eagan is doing nothing
of the sort. Neither is the few lit
tle contributions that they filch from
a few towns doing it either.
We are very glad indeed to see the
Searchlight alive to the danger in
this matter, and hope that they will
go deeper into it and find ou* just
what it all means, and then give their
ideas to the public.
The state is in grave danger from
these paid propagandists by these
trust companies, and one of them can
easily use twenty-five or thirty thou
sand dollars a year financing a thing
like that and escape the state bank
examiner, for the reason that on the
books of a big corporation an item
of that size would cause no comment.
We are glad to sec some, of the
papers waking up to this danger, and
waking up in time to help save the
rights of the tax payers under the
Constitution.

DOES YOUR BACK
ACHE
It is usually a sign of sick kid
neys, especially if the kidney action
is disordered, passages scanty or too
frequent. Don't wait for more seri
ous troubles. Begin using Doan's
Kidney Pills. Read this Bainbridge
testimony:
J. W. Weems, 196 Broad St., says:
“Some time ago I was complaining
of lame back. My kidneys were dis
ordered, and I couldn't get up when
I was down without taking hold of
something, on account of the misery
in the small of my back. The kid
ney secretions passed too often, get
ting me up at night, and they burn
ed like red hot coal. I heard about
Doan's Kidney Pills, and two boxes
from the Ehrlich Drug Co., took the
pain from my back, and made my
kidneys act like clockwork."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Weems had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
