CLARK HOWELL IN AMERICUS
Hon Clark Howell was the hon
ored guest of Americus and Sum
ter county yesterday, and the re
ception accorded him was flatter
tering in the extreme. Not in a
score of years has such a great and
representative audience assembled
here upon a political occasion.
Men in every walk of life, mer-.
chants, farmers, jurists and men
of affairs generally packed the
opera house to the standing room
point, and the distinguished speak
er was accorded the most earnest
and respectful attention through
out his address of nearly two
hours. The full gist of Mr. How
ell’s speech is given elsewhere in
the Times-Recorder, and from this
it will readily be seen that he ful
ly covered every issue injected iu
to the campaign, defining clearly
his own position thereupon and
exposing the fallacies and foibles
of his traducers. It is the uni
versal opinion that an abler, more
logical or more convincing demo
cratic speech has never been de
livered before an Americus audi
ence, and the Times-Recorder con -
gratulates Mr. Howell upon the
magnificent reception accorded
and the splendid impression he
has created upon our people, and
likewise rejoices with them in the
privilege of having these most im
portant issues fully eulcidated by
one as fair, honest, eloquent and
altogether sincere as Clark Howell,
the champion of the rights of the
people of Georgia.
THE GREATER COST OF LIVING
The high cost of living which is
general throughout the country,
has become such a serious matter
to the working classes and people
of moderate means that the news
papers are beginning to devote
some attention to it. Investiga
tions have established the fact
that there has been a startling ad
vance in the prices of all the ne
cessities of life without a corres
ponding increase of the wage rate
in any of the industries to enable
the people to meet the advance.
The New York World has recently
selected twenty five articles of
every-day food for rich and poor
alike, in order to illustrate the re
markable rise in prices within ten
years. The quotations it presents
are the wholesale figures of 1896,
thus avoiding the various fancy
prices charged by the retail deal
ers of the city according to their
location and class of customers.
These figures compared with the
wholesale figures of the present
year 1906, show an average in
crease in the price of the necessi
ties of life of from 33 to 50 per
cent. To make the situation
worse for the poor the price of
rents has soared simultaneously
with the price of food which, of
course, compels the people to de
prive themselves in some other
line or to occupy poorer or less
healthy quarters. On the other
hand, the higher-priced food
means for the poor a reduction of
both amount and quality which
naturally results in less nourish
ment and a steadily decreasing
physical condition.

HONESTY IN PUBLIC SERVICE
Among other things, President
Roosevelt said in his much-talked -
of-muck rake speech:
If a public man is willing to
yield to popular clamor and do
wrong to the men of wealth or to
rich corporations, it may be set
down as certain that if the oppor
tunity comes he will secretly and
furtively do wrong to the public in
the interest of a corporation.
People are a long time coming
to a realization of this truth.
It has been supposed, for some
unknown reason, that men who
would attack corporations because
of public clamor, and in order to
gain popularity and office, are
honest, and would not under any
circumstances do things lo the
public injury.
But it is a mistake. There nev
er was but one kind of honesty.
A demagogue who will injure one
class for his own benefit and in or
der to get the support of another
class, will, when the opportunity
offers, and when he can be bene
fitted by the act, do all he can to
injure the class which he formerly
favored.
There never was a time when
there was more need of honest and
courageous men in public affairs,
and by honest men is meant, of
course, the man who will be hon
est with himself and who will be
as quick to rebuke popular clamor
against capital as he is to denounce
the misdeeds of men of capital.
The dishonest poor man needs to
be rebuked just as badly as the
dishonest rich man, and there
should be in places of authority
men who will yield to neither.
It is an encouraging fact that
everywhere throughout the coun
try the demagogue has less in
fluence than ever before. The peo
pie are beginning to uncerstand
his hollowness, his lack of sinceri
ty his inability, if not actual
discrimination, to be of any ser
vice whatever to them.
Unfriendly criticism of the big
corporations will probably be sus
pended while the railroads, tele
graph lines and express companies
are doing so much for the coast
sufferers.
English spinners report the most
prosperous year in the history of
cotton spinning in England. Many
of the mills will declare a dividend
of 50 per cent.

WORKING WOMEN
Their Hard Struggle Made Easier—lnteresting State*
ments by a Young Lady in Boston
and One in Nashville,Tenn.
All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing' treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
ulceration, falling and displace
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about- or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some derangement of the female or
ganism.
Miss F. Orser, of 14 Warrenton Street,
Boston, tells women how to avoid such
suffering; she writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
‘*l suffered misery for several years with
female irregularities. My back ached; I had

I could not sleep and could hardly drag
around. I consulted two physicians without
relief, and as a last resort, 1 tried Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and to my
surprise, every ache and pain left me. 1
gained ten pounds and am in perfect health.”
Miss Pearl Ackers, of 327 North Sum
mer Street, Nashville, Tenn., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“ I suffered with painful periods, severe
backache, bearing-down pains, pains across
the abdomen; was very nervous and irrita
ble, and my trouble grew worse every month.
“My physician failed to help me and I
decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound. I soon found it was doing me
good. All my pains and aches disappeared,
and I no longer fear my monthly periods.”
Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound is the unfailing cure for all these
troubles. It strengthens the proper
muscles, and displacement with all its
horrors will no more crush you.
Backache, dizziness, fainting, bear
ing-down pains, disordered stomach,
moodiness, dislike of friends and society
—all symptoms of the one cause—will
be quickly dispelled, and it will make
you strong and well.
You can tell the story of your suf.
ferings to a woman, and receive help

Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. The present
Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law
