PLENTY OF FINE FRUIT
PROMISED IN SUMTER
Figs, Berries and Melons in
Abundance
While peaches may be a trifle
‘scant" this summer, or iess plentiful
c an last season, the fruit supply gen
erally will be up to the notch; and
the epicure who delights to revel in
the red -bosom of the watermelon and
toy with the Aglet and the blackberry
will have these things coming his
v. ay .
Americus gardens and orchards
promise Ane yields of pears, plums,
berries and luscious Ags.
The Ag trees were so very early in
putting out this season that fears
were expressed lest a cold spell might
hurt them and so injure the bearing
of the fruit, but they seem to have
known what they were about, for they
were not hurt at all, nd the crop of
flgs is very' large.
There has been a good deal of talk
of a method having been invented for
shipping Ags to the northern markets,
but s< far as known there is nothing
tangible.
That such a method will be invented
seems sure, and when it is found the
shipping of figs will be a big thing
for iSouth Georgia, as no crop is eas
ier grown or more prolific, and the
many varieties coming at different
times would keep the crop on the
mari-et a good while.
The blackberry crop, according to
estimates of Col. Ed Littleton, will
be a rouser, thus assurng blackberry
pies and dumplings in beautiful and
angelic abundance this summer.
And it is even said that the fence
corner wine press will do business
at the old stand back of the horse lot
this summer, for who can blame a
man, or woman, for " brewing a little
blackberry cordial, to be used as med
icine, of course, even though it be a
technical violation of a foolish law. i
And any mere man who would oe
foolish enough to report her for mak
ing her own wine out of her own
blackberries would certainly be sorry
for it.

are a valuable remedy. I suffered sot

trouble with the kidney secretions. Ths
passages of the secretions were irreg

to try them and procured a box. Their
use quickly rel’eved the pain and

SHEPPARD OR SLATON, WHICH,
AS PRESIDENT OF SENATE?
STATE POLITICS WILL ASSUME A LIVE
LY PHASE WHEN THE LEGISLATURE
MEETS IN JUNE-SOME OF THE POS-’
SIBILITIES TO BE PRESENTER.
At’anta, May 4.—Will it be Presi
dent J. E. (Sheppard, of Amer.cus,
or President John W. Slaton, of At
lanta, when the presiding officer of
the senate is elected upon the con
vening of the legislature in June?
Both aspirants for this distinguish
ed honor have friends working in
their behalf who equally express con
fidence in the result. Less than two
months now remain before the as
semlling of the legislature, and the
interim, no doubt, will be replete with
political and legislative interest.
This is a new legislature, elected
last October, and interest will center
in its organization.
Generally recognized to be a Hoke
Smith legislature in point of political
sentiment, there is still some ques
tion whether the forces will succeed
in organizing it.
Mr. Slaton, who was president of
the last senate, has never been of
the Hoke Smith political school, while
. his opponent, Senator J. E. Sheppard,
of Sumter, is a strong Smith man. Pol
iticians express confidence in Mr.
Slaton’s success, for he was popular
with both factions in the last senate.
, Mr. Sheppard’s friends, however, are
equolly confident that things will go
- his way all right when the vote is
taken.
Senator Joseph M. Terrell, until ra
. cently was too ill to be active; but
: be has recovered his health and is
again at his desk n Washington. He
has arranged to secure political head
. quarters in Atlanta several weeks
weeks before the b-gislature convenes
and, it is said, will be busily on the
.job early in June.
The senatorial candidates on the
Hoke (Smith side-of the political fence
are keeping .unusually quiet. Whether

it is merely a dignified silence or part
of a preconcerted plan .remains to de
velop.
It all bears out the belief that
Governor-elect Hoke Smith is really a
candidate, but will not be known for
mally as such until after the election
of a .senator is taken up by the gen
eral assembly, when his name will be
put in nomination.
His principal difficulty will come
from the fact that many members, it
i 3 stated, favorably to him politically,
feel that he should remain in the gov- 1
ernor’s office during the term for
which he was elected. Quite a number
of these will vote for Senator Terrell
on this account.
But if Governor-elect Smith should
be elected, the office of president of
the senate becomes a most important
one. This official will go into the
governor’s office for a period of sixty
days and exercise its functions until
a new governor is chosen and inau
gurated.
Not only that, but he is likely to
be a candidate for the office himself.
He is also likely to have to run
against Commissioner of Agriculture
T. G. Hudson and Judge R. B. Rus
sell, of the Court of aAppeals.
The political situation is thus full
of the most interesting possibilities
during the next four months.
From a legislative standpoint the
'session will be interesting. The legis
lature must pass general appropria
tions and tax acts for the next two
years.
If congress increases the member
ship of its lower house as a result of
the recent census, it will also be up
to the legislature to redistrict the
state, making provision for a twelfth
congressman.
Prohibition legislation is going to
command some attention, as there is
little doubt effort will be made to
strengthen the law with a view to
providing for its better enforcement,
and also, if possible, to stop the sale
of beer.

O. Oe Oe RHEUMATISM
The primary cause of Rheumatism results from weak kidneys, consti
tion, indigestion, etc., forming impure accumulations in the system, f " ’
sour and ferment, causing uric acid, which is absorbed from the
intestines into the blood. This changes the circulation from a thick r" %
fluid to a thin, acrid stream, depositing inflammatory matter into tlmm--
cles, nerves, and joints. The longer the blood is allowed to remain in tY A
impure condition the more severe will Rheumatism become. Gradual'v c
muscles harden end lose their elasticity, the joints begin to stiffen, anil f- ~
quently calculous deposits form knots at the finger joints. There is ju-t .
way to CURE Rheumatism, and that is to cleanse the blood of the uric ac : ‘
poison. S. S. S., by removing every particle of the cause and PURIFYIXn
the blood, cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. eliminates the uric ac : d
because it is the greatest of all blood purifiers. It filtersout every trace of tie
sour, inflammatory 7 matter, cools the acid-heated blood, furnishes the m *
