AMERICUS. GA„ MARCH 31, 1903.
A movement will be started in Bruns
wick shortly looking to the establish
ment of a Young Men’s Christian As
sociation.
According to the Eatonton Messen
ger, Putnam county farmers as a rule
are in better fix than they have been
in many years.
Savannah and the coast country was
swept by a gale Sunday, and while the
damage was considerable there was,
fortunately, no loss of life.
At last accounts Atlanta was sf ill
ready to annex Clarkesville, Tenu.,
and Columbia, S. C., hut they declined
to he annexed.—Savannah Press.
Albany Herald: It is not too late to
plant more corn, Mr. Farmer. Corn will
come in all right next winter and spring
whether cotton brings 10 cents a pound
or 5 cents.
There is a difference of 23 years be
tween the ages of Mr. Cleveland and
Mr. Bryan. “ThdTi, ” says the Washing
ton Post, “there are a few other differ
ences.”
Editor Hook suggests that when Mr.
Roosevelt gets out West he might try
conclusions with a bronco or two as a
warming-up preliminary to tackling the
Trusts.
The Constitution thinks if all the
gentlemen who have been named by
Terrell as delegates to the
charity convention will give a dollar
apiece it will help some.
When Grover Cleveland gets out of
the world he may with some degree of
certainty, he considered out of politics.
Any calculations of the public before
that time are subject to revision.
The Richmond Times-Hispatcli
thinks the Buffalo affair “teaches some
people that love letters of certain va
rieties should be burned as soon as
read.’ It would he much safer to burn
them before they are posted.
The New York Commercial says:
“The New York and New Orleans cot
ton exchanges can shut out the bucket
shops if they wish, and they have gone
about it right in seeking the co-opera
tion of the telegraph companies.”
The Augusta Chronicle thinks if Mr.
Cleveland goes West—as he is said to
be planning to do—and strikes one of
those Wyoming trout streams, they’ll
never get him back in time to run for
so unimportant a thing as the Presi
dency.
“Columbus is practically certain to
get the Georgia, Florida and Alabama
Railroad within twelve months, and
the Brunswick and Birmingham won’t
be far behind it. How things will
boom when all this begins to happen”
exultingly exclaims the Enquirer-Sun.
Montgomery is to have a bank with
a half a million dollars capital, if re
ports be true, and another bank is to
increase its capital stock from SIOO,OOO
to $250,000. That looks like Montgom
ery is prospering, at least in the bank
ing world.—Montgomery Journal.
The Georgia troops which are to be
supplied by the national government
with Krag-Jorgensen rifles do not in
clude the Georgia colonels, facetiously
remarks the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
However, the colonels will not be left
entirely defenselesss—repeating flasks
will be part of their equipment, says
the Atlanta Constitution.
There is a rumor afloat in Washing
ton that Roosevelt recently asked Sen
ator Hanna if he was going to be a
candidate for president, and that Han
na replied that be would not be. “In
my judgment,” Hanna is quoted as
adding to the president, “you will be
nominated and elected. There is but
one man who will stand in your way.”
“Who is that?” the president asked.
“Theodore Roosevelt,” was Hanna’s
curt reply.
Children are unconscious philoso
phers. They refuse to pull to pieces
their enjoyments to see what they are
made.—Henry Ward Beeoher.
‘PROSPERITY AND PROGRESS.”
The time has now come w hen the Re
publican penny-a-liners and caricatu
rists have revived that ancient slogan
“Prosperity and Progress” that has
proved such a shibboleth for, 10, these
many years. Sometimes a natty lad
called “Teddy” is holding an exquisite
little yacht with this inscription upon
its sails, while a hobbledehoy named
Bryan carries a rude scow -like vessel
to which is attached a huge anchor, the
fluke buried in the ground while Gro
ver Cleveland is seated on the other.
Sometimes the words are distributed
indiscriminately, upon banner, shield
or boarding, wherever there is room to
get them in.
But however utilized, it can bo de
pended upon that they will be made to
do yeoman service until the set of that
November sun that shall proclaim the
struggle over.
“Prosperity and Progress”—has a
sort of P. P., patent mediciney sound
—but is nevertheless a catchy battle
cry. And yet, let’s see? Prosperity 7 ?
Well, there’s the big anthracite strike
—that’s one, and will do for the middle
Anger; and the existent Waterbury
strike, that’s tw r o; and the Albany strike,
and the Shenectady strike, the Chicago
teamsters’ strike, the Kansas City' ditto
the West Virginia miners— why,
shucks, one would need to be an octo
pus to count them all on the fingers!
And strikes are certainly 7 not prima
facie evidence of Prosperity.
And Progress? Humph. An extra
session of the senate—that doesn’t
seem to indicate very 7 swift previous
transactions ou the [part of those old
gentlemen; and the gory remains of
the exploded Trusts that were to have
littered the Washingtonian streets —
where, oh, where are they 7 ? And the
Panama canal- treaty 7 , that does not
permit us to fortify 7 and protect that
for w 7 hich our millions are to be ex
pended—but why pursue the subject
further?
“Prosperity and Progress” will con
tinue to be the Republican watch word
in spite of all that can be said, and the
only consolation is that braggingbased
on false grounds frequently defeats it
self. It may prove so in this case.—
Augusta Chronicle.
WHERE PEOPLE DIE OF OLD AGE.
One of the most remarkable cities in
the world is Kelburg, near Cracow,
Poland, for, besides being situated un
derground, it is excavated entirely in
rock salt. Most of the inhabitants
work in the famous salt mines, and all
the streets and houses are of the purest
white imaginable. One of the most fa
mous features of the city is the cathe
dral, carved in salt and lighted by
electricity, and when the late Czar
Alexander visited it he was so fascina
ted with the magnificent effect of the
light upon the crystal walls that he
presented the cathedral with a jew'eled
altar cross. Such a thing as infectious
disease is unknown in Kelburg; in fact
the majority of the people die of old
age.—Chicago Journal.
The Atlanta Journal thinks that
Tillman is the best authority in this
country on hisses. When w r e recall
that these hisses upon which Tillman
is authority 7 are largely from those at
the north w r ho hissed him because he
tells them the truth about the south,
we are inclined to think that hisses
are not alw 7 ays dishonorable, but fre"
quently commend the victim.

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition: beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
'or diseased. -
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
1 afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp=Root is soon realized. It is sold

by druggists, in fifty

free, also pamphlet tell-
ing all about it, including many of the
thousands of testimonial letters received
from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer

Don’t make any mistake, but remember
the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton,
N. Y., on every bottle.

APPETITES
Created and Maintained
by Vinol.
THAT THE FOOD IS DIGEST
ED IS ASLO EQUALLY
NECESSARY.
We Recommend Vinol as an
Appetite Creator.
WE GUARANTEE THAT VINOL
WILL AID DIGESTION.
Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known.
It is because Vinol acts so beneficially
upon the stomach that it accomplishes
so much good.
Vinol contains the active curative
principles that are found in cod-liver
oil, without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act so
favorably upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the elements
necessary for creating new flesh, muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood.
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally, a desire is created for good
simple food and a good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod-liver oil as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which it con
tained were too often unable to
counteract the harm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that in Vinol we have those
same elements separated from the vile
tasting fat, we have a tonic and re
builder that is simply marvelous in its
action.
The following is a letter that will ex
plain itself:
“ This is to certify that I have used
six bottles of Vinol, and have found it
of great value as an appetizer and
tonic in general debility. I have re
ceived so much benefit from its use
that I gladly furnish this testimonial
in order that others may be induced to
give it a trial and prove to themselves
its recuperative powers.”—Mrs. Eliz
abeth Feeney, Waterbury, Conn.
• We want every one in this place to
know more about our Vinol, how it
cures and what it cures. Certainly
the greatest tonic and rebuiider we
have ever sold.
We, therefore, cordially invite any
one interested to call upon us; and
we want all to bear in mind that we
will gladly refund to any one who is
not satisfied with the action of Vinol
•very cent they pay for it,
