SIOO REWARD, SIOO.
The readers of this paper will he
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medicinal fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re
requires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internal
ly, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the
disease and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu
tion and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for

MISSISSIPPI NEXT
TO GO DRY
Candidates Declaring For Pro
hibition Assures The Law.
, NEW ORLEANS, August 22.—The
declaration in favor of State prohibi
tion by both Brewer and Noel, candi
dates for governor of Mississippi in
the primary to be held, makes cer
tain the passage of a State prohibition
law in Mississippi at the next session
of the legislature in January.
Gov. Vardaman is an open advocate
of State prohibition, but he did not
have the legislature with him. Many
temperance men opposed State pro
hibition, believing the present local
option law, under which seventy-one
of the seventy-eight counties of the
State have shut liquor out the best in
practice.
At a meeting held several weeks
ago the leaders of the anti-saloon
movement determined to make a
fight for State prohibtion, and called
a prohibition mass meeting to meet
in Jackson on the day the legislature
assembles in January to demand, the
passage of a prohibitory constitutional
amendment.
That the opposing candidates for
governor have both come out for pro
hibition and that a majority of the
legislators chosen in the first are like
ly to be chosen in the second primary
are for pasage of the amendment.
Nor does any one doubt that the pop
ular vote will be overwhelmingly for
it.
The prohibition wave seems to have
swept over Louisiana. Even the big
parish of Nachitoches has just voted
the saloon out. After a long and
most exciting campaign in Alabama
and Texas, where a demand was
made on the legislature for a prohibi
tory law, it was decided to strength
en the saloon laws and let the ques
tion of prohibition go over until the
next session, two years hnece.

QQC DRIVES OUT
O' RHEUMATISM
The cause of Rheumatism is a sour, acid condition of the blood, brought
about by indigestion, chronic constipation, and the accumulation in the
system of refuse matter which the natural eliminative organs have failed to
carry out. This refuse or waste matter ferments and sours, generating uric
acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body,
and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. One may also be born
with a predisposition or tendency to Rheumatism, because like all blood dis
eases it can be transmitted from parent to child. The aches and pains of
the disease are only symptoms which you may scatter or relieve with lini
ments, plasters, blisters, etc., or deaden with opiates. As soon, however,
as such treatment is left off or there is any exposure to cold or dampness, or
after an attack of indigestion or constipation, the wandering pains, sore
muscles and joints, and tender places on the flesh return, and the sufferer
finds that lie has merely checked the symptoms while the real cause of the
disease remains in the blood. Rheumatism can never be cured while the
blood remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism by driving the cause out of the bloo 1. It thor
oughly cleanses the blood and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the
acids and expelling all foreign matter from the system. S. S. S. stimulates
and invigorates the blood so that instead of a w r eak, sour sf: i, constantly
depositing acrid and corrosive matter in the muscle.-., j , nerves and
bones, the body is soothed and nourished by rich, health . • lining blood,
which completely and permanently cures Rheumatism, b S. is composed
of roots, herbs and barks which possess both purifying p-- : . n ic properties—
just what is needed in every case of Rheumati-m. ’ on k’ <muatism

ARMY IS BEING
OVERWORKED
Grievances Prevent Re-enlist
m£ht and Lead to Desertion.
WASHINGTON, August 22.—Brig.
Gen. William H. Carter, commanding
the Department of the Lakes, in his
annual report sounds a note of warn
ing against the depletion of the army.
He says the need of recruits is so
great that the overwork of the men
remaining in ranks is a source of
discontentment, notwithstanding ev
ery effort is made to reduce the post
work.
Not only are more men needed in
the exisiting organizations, but there
should be a considerable increase in
the infantry as a whole, in view of
the heavy demand of tropical work
and foreign services likely to be re
quired in the near future.
Insufficient pay, too much fatigue
duty, certain details connected with
practice marches, resentment at the
abolition of the canteen, and recent
requirements as to finger mark and
photographic identification are set
down as the grievances which prevent
're-enlistment and increase deser
tions. As one result of the abolition
of the canteen there is little or no
profit from the post exchanges, form
erly applied to the purchases of
books, so that there are now practi
cally no post libraries, formerly so
attractive to the young soldier.

Mr. U. B. Harrold went to Macon

ant meeting of the Central’s directors.
, At this meeting it will be determined

. sions that is to be held for some

1 upon first, second and third income

MAY PROVE FATAL
When Will Americus People Learn
the Importance of It?
, Backache is only a simple thing at
first;
But when you know 'tis from the
kidneys;
t That serious kidney troubles fol
low;
j That diebatis, Bright's disease may
. be the fatal end,
You will gladly profit by the fol
lowing experience.
'Tis the statement of an Americus •
t citizen:
J. M. Oliver, wagon painter, with
shop on Cotton avenue and Jefferson
, streets, Americus, Ga., and living on
the outskirts o? Americus, has used
Doan’s Kidney Pills and states his
opinion of them as follows: He says,
“They are a fine remedy. I used them
them very ache and can recommend
them very highly. They did for me
what everything el#e failed to do.
They drove the backache out of my
back and relieved me of misery, from
which I had been suffering for a long
time. The trouble was a constant
heavy ache right across the small of
my back, and a disorder of the kid
neys. The secretions were in bad
condition, being dark, full of sedi
ment and irregular. * Medicines for
internal use failed to help me and so
did liniments. I read of how others
had been cured by Doan's Kidney
Pills, and deciding to try them got
a box. Since taking them the pain
has left my back, the kidneys are
working normally, the secretions are
in a natural condition and I feel bet
ter in many ways.”
